I also picked up a couple of CD Video discs from the same seller (I told you I'd get back to CDV!). Best of Bubblegum Crisis Music 1 & 2. I didn't realise that CDV discs were released in Japan; they were created as an attempt to revive the pretty much dead European laserdisc market. CDV discs have space for both a short audio portion and a short video portion. The inner portion is the audio, with only the outer edge moving fast enough to carry a video signal. You can clearly see the band between the two sections on the disc. I've never actually seen Bubblegum Crisis (I really need to get around to it) but I've become a fan of the music, particularly 今夜はハリケーン (Hurricane Tonight), the visuals and audio of which are clearly inspired by "Streets of Fire" and "Nowhere Fast." The first disc contains the audio for "Konya wa Hurricane", while the second disc has the video for it. The video on the first disc is 明日へタッチダウン (Touchdown into Tomorrow)
