I do. You can imagine my shock 15 years ago when I purchased the complete Star Trek original series Japanese laserdisc sets and found out chunks of each episode had burnt in Japanese subtitles because they had never shown the 100% complete episodes in Japan and despite being a set with laserdisc graphics they still went ahead and burnt in the subtitles and don't even get started on the X-Files box sets! Not everyone, even in Japan, would have had LD-G capable players so I guess they had to make them backwards compatible.

One PAL encoded Laserdisc which remains significant is Tom et Lola, a marvelous poetic French movie about two ill children kept in plastic bubbles due to immune deficiency : Tom et Lola (1990) [009653]. Up to this day, this film hasn't been released again on DVD nor BR-D (save for legally doubtful US DVDs ripped of from VHS releases with burnt-in English subtitles).

Good evening Guys, The most significant LD Titles for myself personally, are the LD Titles that I have been waiting for for the past 10+ Years. It's a long reasonable and trustworthy transaction with endurance, change of country on there side and a lack of available funds, that have taken such a long time to complete from my side. It's still not over........ as I shall have another roughly 20 titles after this to pay for, as the seller has to rummage through approx 300 crates since moving from Japan to Australia. Next Shipment is due by the end of July 2017. Significant titles are MI 2 / 007 The World is not enough and The Sixth Day sealed. Others include T2 Squeezed / Song of the South / Man Called Flint & in like Flint box set / Young Indiana Jones Box set / Fifth Element Japanese Version / Star Wars Definitive Box Brand new sealed Japanese Version / Deep Impact Japanese Version and a few Others that will come along in 2018. Significant LD Titles are subjective for each persons taste I believe, so all of the above are good for this man. Kindest Regards to everyone and hope that you are all well and looking after yourselves.

Wait, are you saying that in 1992 or 1993 that a Japanese market consumer would be bothered by "burned in" subtitles, the only subs that %95 of the country had ever seen? It find that doubtful. "Burned in" subs were just known as "subs" before DVD. I never heard of anyone complaining about them, and especially when it's foreign language material for the intendted audience.

I have to correct my earlier post. It seems that TOHO discs did have some type of corner obi on some of the discs, I don't know if all had them but some did. Godzilla (1954) (Uncut) [TLL 2002]

Shock? Seriously? You buy a Japanese product, intended for the Japanese market and then you whine about Japanese subtitles. Get over it!

Well you'd think there was some financial element - the more popular shows in Japan most likely to get a Japanese language audio dub for TV which could then be used on the LD. Although I've heard Twin Peaks was really popular in Japan, like X-Files it's English only with Japanese subtitles. The Star Trek releases are one of the ones to use a Japanese dub, from Next Gen on only on-screen displays and signs that needed translation have subtitles, the rest is all dubbed without subtitles. But then the English track is on the digital channels while the Japanese was on the analogue tracks - maybe if I was a Japanese consumer I should feel ripped off by that?????
