The Media Hoarder | Sesame Street episode 393 on NHK Japan @TheMediaHoarder | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Sesame Street aired on Japan's NHK network as a way of teaching English- as you can see there is no Japanese translation at all. The only alteration is an onscreen message at 21 minutes in, translating to "Please read this program together with the guidebook. The guidebook includes Japanese explanations and translations. If you are interested, please purchase it at your local bookstore. More details will be provided at the end of the program." Such details are shown at the very end before the recording cuts off, translating to "A Sesame Street Guidebook is now on sale." The first minute or so was also taped over.
This episode originally aired in the US on 4/26/72, I don't know the date this was recorded (the upload of Japanese cosmetics commercials I have came on after this recording cut off, so those aired before this did.) It was found on a U-Matic tape; typical of that format audio is only in the right channel.
Wish those fortunate enough to get other vintage Sesame Street shows would upload them in the proper 60fps frame rate. Shame on the official Sesame Workshop people for not only NOT doing that but also putting their logo on every video!
