In 2021, I preserved the CDI Karaoke series from Japan (well let's say mostly, a few of the discs had read issues) -- a cache of 172 discs which had arrived to me via The World's Greatest CD-i Collector -- Blazers. And wouldn't you know it if the OTHER mega-batch of CD-i Karaoke discs from Japan didn't arrive on my doorstep today.
BMB is a huge name in Karaoke, they make equipment to this day. In addition to the complete set of 150 BMB Karaoke CD-i discs, incidentally came with the lot 100 of their Karaoke VCDs (#367-466). BMB also released CD+G Karaoke discs around the same era (but none to be seen here).
And so the preservation of these begins... I'm hoping to the highest of hopes, not too many (none?) errored discs (that an industrial grade resurfacer can't fix, anyway).
Follow along the CD-i progress here, and the VCDs will follow here.
All CD-i's will be added to redump (these VCDs do not meet redump qualifications however).
Thanks to Blazers! With him all things are possible.
