Ohayo gozaimassssss
A very nice box arrived in the post today - likely the vast majority of Japanese Philips CD-i titles - and previously unknown, a series of karaoke discs, aptly named "CDI Karaoke".
The year was 1992, an older yakuza's flame runs a karaoke bar in downtown shibuya. Sake is warm, the snow outside is cold. Across the room, through the stale smoke, you see a table holding a vase with a lone peony, and beside it - a karaoke machine. Over 170 glorious discs of enka in Philip's very own CD-i format.
You'll never be able to live such a marvelous moment, luckily for you - the next closest thing is becoming available... the CD-i collection. Preserve CD-i has begun the process of dumping / submitting to redump.org / scanning / uploading to archive.org all of these discs for you to enjoy.
While our short term existing as a website has already seen very rare holy grails come to light, I'm particularly excited about this absolutely trove of insanely rare discs. Thank you very much to sadikyo and blazers for help making this happen. This is a very special moment in CD-i preservation!
