Wanted - "V" - Japanese video release poster
« on: September 26, 2018, 08:37:27 AM »
I am sure this is a bit of a long-shot, but if anyone has any idea where I might get hold of a rolled original Japanese B2 poster for the video release of the 'V' tv mini-series - with artwork by Noriyoshi Ohrai - for a sensible price, I'd be grateful.

For reference, the poster I mean can be seen here: https://mattmulcahey.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-art-of-noriyoshi-ohrai/#jp-carousel-8096.

There is also a nice photo on Eddie's Film On Paper blog of two posters Ohrai produced for the release. It is the one on the left I'd like to locate. https://www.filmonpaper.com/blog/visiting-noriyoshi-ohrai-exhibition-japan/#more-34930

I suspect this one will generate shrugs all round, but on the basis you don't ask... I figure it's worth a try. I don't speak Japanese or know anyone there, so I haven't explored Yahoo Japan or similar.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The one on the left. Lots of heads and a big V.

You’re welcome. Great poster, hope it turns up. I had a quick look but could only find a poster for the later series.

I just had a look too.  Found 2 posters for the later series (and a DVD box set that used that art).
