Craig’s notes
The handwritten label names three Lupin the Third Part 1 episodes. We got all three, and then the tape kept going. At least two more episodes were on there.
This is a January 1986 Hiroshima Television rebroadcast, with its breaks still around the show. There are ramen ads and what the notes call a camera ad. Then Hiroshima Television offers to deliver Valentine chocolate to someone special, with Lotte sponsoring. A Toshiba concert ad mentions the 1986 Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. The Valentine delivery pitch is what I wouldn’t have known to expect from the label.
