You can always tell it’s August in Japan when they’re playing Koshien on every television in the country. The National High School Baseball play offs are still a big deal in this country and is called “Koshien,” the name of the oldest stadium in the country and the place where the tournament is held every summer. On the weekend, I was watching the opening ceremonies which looked great in High Definition. HD is truly amazing but what’s more amazing is how all 49 teams march in the exact same way!! Not a single guy out of step. Terrific!


An interesting video of Koshien here and the Wikipedia entry here.

Doesn’t look very hi-def to me.

Those are analog screen captures from my tv tuner no HDTV. I forgot to explain.

You don’t have a Hauppauge HDTV capture card? Oh wait, neither do I. I just have the MCE-150 card.

What is that lady doing at the lead of the team?

They have HDTV capture cards?! Got to look into that. That girl is carrying the sign for the name of the school.
