Recently, I obtained some rarer and cool VHS Video cassettes in Japanese NTSC Format from Japan. Those were both original Honda Video cassettes, which I bought in Japan. Since I don't have a VHS player anymore, I had the videos digitized by a professional company, which also removed various distortion and other artifacts, which often appear on old cassettes.
The first one (left in previous photo) is called "TRY! HONDA RACING SPIRIT CIVIC TYPE R" and is basically an advertising video which was given by HONDA to their Primo dealerships which sold the EK9, to show in their showroom or at the EK9 display. It features JGTCC racing driver Okada Hideki that showcases the car's and it's spec and drives it on track. Prepare for plenty of Eurobeat music. Make sure to turn on the subtitles if you want to understand anything
The Second Video was already available on YouTube, but I thought I reupload it in better quality. It's called "Civic Type R Daynamic Safety driving" and was given to customers. I'm not entirely sure if the customers got it during some kind of a "race training" event just when they bought the car. Anyhow, the video again features JGTCC racing driver Okada Hideki which teaches the basics of sporty driving techniques in an EK9.
Again, make sure to turn on the subtitles if you want to understand anything
BTW, the teaser photo you see for the YouTube videos are the original VHS Cassette case covers, which I scanned.
I hope you enjoy the Videos. And if you know anything more about the background of those videos, (especially under what circumstances the "Dynamic safety driving" video was given to customers) please let me know.
Have fun.
