Work style reform, consumption tax increase, minimum hourly wage increase... The board of directors, who had trouble managing tax payment funds before the interim settlement of accounts, decided to cut the budget for this year's medical examination significantly and to hold it in a smaller venue than the previous year with mixed gender. Since the company's repulsion was naturally expected, it seems that the schedule should be selected on the day when a large typhoon lands... that is, the day when the venue cannot be escaped. Perhaps it also has the purpose of restructuring employees who do not follow the company's schedule. Rather, that may be the real purpose. Anyway, the morning when the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a warning to refrain from going out, female employees were gathered at the rugged health center... A woman whose breasts dyed red in shame perform breast cancer screening at the venue where the typhoon warning of the mobile phone echoes.

Not too long ago... at a race circuit just around the corner... ... And so we come to the greatest DVD of our time. It's called "Bagpuss: The Director's cut" and has nothing at all to do with the DVD we're giving away here. No, this is a far shoddier affair featuring, as it does, a documentary, or - if you will - a mockumentary. Revealing how the staff of Superbike manages to cobble together the best sports bike magazine in the world every month. It's all here - the road tests, the track action, the long-termer bike tests, the centerfold shoots, big Al's baking tips, well, maybe not those but we'll talk about everything else. Citizen Kane? Battleship Potemkin? Dude, where's my car? They are all unquestionably far, better, films than this - but do they feature some of the finest motorcycles ever built? No, they do not. This DVD will fill in the gaps so disappointingly evident in the works of Messers Wells, Einstein, and Leiner.
