Post subject:  Late LD releases (2004)
I have heard about very late LD's releases (2004), but never encountered them.
Also I always thought these late releases were 8" discs.

Now Julien has been adding a lot of Karaoke releases over the last days (thanks :thumbup: ), I was quite surprised to see :

Teichiku Laser Karaoke: vol.279 [30LV-279]

It's a 18/03/2004 release, 12" with 2 sides and 28 tracks, would be interesting to see which factory still manufactured this late.
Anyone has such discs in their collection or a picture available ?

Br, Edwin

I had to double check the 8" vs. 12" but 14 songs of 4~5 minutes is really a full 1h CLV side.
First batch would seem to have started in 1982 with Teichiku Laser Karaoke: vol. 1 [30LV-1].

It might be the longest running LD collection ever!


The next series I added were the 01DK-XXX and these are 8" also from Teichiku.

Most recent known/confirmed is Utaemon: vol.370 [01DK-370] (1999).

They probably release thousands of Karaoke titles to feed all the Karaoke business in Japan in the 80's and 90's.

Tons of releases that are not listed on LDDb.com -- but also have very little interest to 99.999% if the people.

Did the same on VHD, then DVD, etc. Probably running on NAS/cloud now.

As long as you can skip/seek chapters, they were in business.
VHS was ill-fitted for Karaoke business.
