Rare DVD! "Shomuni" 1st & 2nd Series, Special Edition Vol. 1 VHS 9-Tape Set

Thank you for looking!
This is a 9-volume VHS set of the mega-hit Heisei-era drama Shomuni (rental version)!
The set includes the first series broadcast on Fuji TV in 1998, the first special episode, and the second series broadcast in 2000.

As cast members Makiko Esumi and Mai Hojo have retired from the entertainment industry, this is a rare item with limited DVD availability.

I purchased this online within 2026, and have recently confirmed playback of all episodes!
