Finding an obscure japanese body swap 1999 TV show?
From: guest (tights) , 5 months, post #1
So I end up mentioning this on the other thread and people were interestingly. Here's the summary and the information:

http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~cloe/image3/movie/anatawadare_s.jpg

Full name of the show: 「少女たちの異常体験」 (Bishojo H3 "Abnormal Experiences of Girls")

Name of the episode: 「アナタワダレ?」 (Ana Tawadare/Anatawadare)

Synopsis: Hiroshi Arisato was busy with his work and his relationship with his family had grown cold. Then one day he wakes up as a young girl in a sailor suit. However, his family treats him in the same way as before, so he decides to go to work, although he is still skeptical. After managing to finish work as a girl, she stopped at an unfamiliar bar and met a young man who began to tell her that she was actually a high school girl. It seems that there are other people who have become someone else as well.

I live in Japan, i can offer some help if somebody have any idea of where to find old movies here

From: guest (tights) , 5 months, post #4
Thank you very much! As far as I could see, it wasn't released on DVD. Apparently it was some sort of experimental project where they call models wanting to be actress. I assume "Bishojo H1" and "Bishojo H2" went more mainstream, cause you usually find more stuff about them. Such as a tape of one the episodes:

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u372348813

Also, looking on Twitter I could see some people saying they have a tape on this. I tried to contact the person who operates the site where that still frame from the episode was posted to know who sent him that and if he had a copy, but had no luck. He has a twitter account at @irekawarimaniax, if anyone wants to try to contact him there.

Also, as I said, I saw some people selling tapes from "Bishojo H1", on the japanese yahoo auctions. So I think, aside us finding someone who taped this and uploaded online, that would be our best luck. Finding some japanese auction selling old tapes with this episode.

I found it, used, box in not good condition but it seems that can be play it

https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%BE%8E%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3H-3-VHS-%E7%B7%92%E6%B2%A2%E5%87%9B/dp/B00005FSHR

Quite expensive though around 30~35$

From: guest (Tights) , 5 months, post #6
Thanks, but I bumped with this one too, it's another episode from an earlier season (probably "Bishojo H: Episode 03", instead of "Bishojo H3: Episode 02"). For once, the actress mentioned in the cover is Rinn Ozawa instead of Mika Katsumura, which actually participated in the episode.

The previous link I posted, showing the auction was just to show that there are tapes from the series being sold online, such as the one being sold on Yahoo auction, and that there was probably a good place to look further for this episode/season specitically.

It wouldn't surprise me if there's someone selling some old collection of Japanese tapes labelled like "99 Fuji TV shows", when you go look in the description, briefly mentions that there's a copy of it.

Hopefully there is a way to see it, the story sounds very interesting.

From: guest (TXA) , 5 months, post #8
It does, indeed. And it's a pretty rare taken on body swap. Cause, like, they swapped bodies and wardrobe, he has the body of a high school girl as well as her clothes... but he still has his life and everybody believes this is just normal. It's normal for a 40 years male executive to have the body of a 17 years old girl and dress like a girl.

Hi!

I have been trying to track down a recording of this episode for some years now because a (very old) favorite song of mine samples voice lines from it. Have you had any luck finding a copy since you made this post?

Also, I apologize for posting in an old thread... I found this in a Google search.

From: guest (tights) , 12 days, post #10
Hi, guest 10. Sadly no lucky. The closest thing I found was that single stillframe that I link in the beginning of the thread and some tweet from 8 years ago of a person saying were trying to rip a tape with that episode (if I understood it correctly) but they were having problems. I tried to contact him, but had no luck.

https://twitter.com/chami723_4/status/783974721297592320

I also tried to contact the guy who runs the blog where the stillframe was posted on (he goes by @irekawarimaniax on twitter) to ask for more info about how/where he managed to find that image, but no luck.

If you don't mind, did you watch the episode back then? Or could at least tell me what was the show about exactly? I still don't quite understand, it seems it was a show where models wanting to become professional actress participated to gain experience? If you could tell me anything you remember. Thanks.

Also, if you manage to ever find it, I would really appreciate if you posted it here warning us. My best guess on we ever finding a copy of it would be either some famous youtuber talking about the show (someone probably has a tape somewhere, it aired back in 1999, VHS were common place) or the channel who originally aired deciding to broadcast some reruns of old TV shows from the late 90s.

Hi, it's me again (guest 10).

I actually have never seen the episode before and I pretty much have the same amount of knowledge and research as you, so I unfortunately don't have much to offer that would be any different.

My story and the reason why I began this search is because I have a couple very old songs (~2000 and 2005) which feature some voice lines from that exact episode and I have been extremely curious on the context and scene for many years. I had always assumed it was from a weird 90s/early 00s anime, but about 4 or 5 years ago I managed to finally get an answer from one of the artists who originally sampled it (DJ Shimamura) and he told me it was from the 美少女H3 episode that stars Mika Katsumura. Also according to him, it was his favorite TV drama back then. This reply took a long while to get from him, so I didn't try getting more info out of him and I just assumed I'd be able to find it myself... which I unfortunately have not.

I do apologize for not having any new research to contribute, but I will for sure return here if I have any luck.

Weakness, that's quite of history thanks for sharing IT. It's interesting that at least he had the episode so that he could sample it, if I understood correctly, so probably more people will have this episode. There are few communities on reddit dedicated to search for lost media, I will give try there as well.

Those things take sometime but eventually someone shows up and they have a copy of that episode. It's rare episode, but it's not like THAT rare. As I said late 90s, many people already had VCRs, most likely people recorded .

It's not a very useful information, but I discovered the music "IT'S GONE NOW" from the japanese band TimeSlip Rendezvous was the music theme of the show.
