Mike,
Thanks for the update..... as my boss would say "Wonders never cease!"
Now, picture this,... YOU go to Japan and decide to try one of those dancing machines. A girl with sunglasses walks up to you and asks if she can join in. She takes off her sunglasses and you notice that it is Seiko! I doubt anyone would be able to keep on dancing as their knees would be like jelly...hee hee.
If you managae to get a copy of the show on VHS please let me know.
See ya later!

>Anyway...one more "collectors item" to drive you crazy until it is shown again!
