Sakura Ranman - Spring In Japan - V-Music [Blu-ray]

I won't comment on the choice of musical selections for each chapter---you'll either be indifferent to it, or hate it (it's background music, what more can I say?). Audio is LPCM 2-Channel stereo, and very clean and defined. The menu is clean and simple, and rather well thought out as it doesn't overwhelm the TV screen's real estate with glitz and flash, but still manages to tell you what you need to know. Compared to the "new" BBC series Planet Earth (shot over a 5-year period), I'm inclined to believe the video footage on Spring In Japan was shot quite a while ago, as it just doesn't have the detail of the aforementioned title. Still, let's not forget that this is background video, never intended to be reference material. That said, the scenery is pretty and relaxing, and covers a wide variety of locations. Typical NHK videographer standards, so I don't think anyone will be disappointed.
