VHS | CFC Style '96 May Video Vol. 1 (Capcom Friendly Club) | CFC スタイル 創刊号 | Capcom Fan Club Tape
The inaugural edition of the Capcom Friendly Club Style VHS tapes that were sent out to members of the Capcom fan club in Japan in the 90s and early 2000s. This tape gives fans a brief look at the planning, development and design process at Capcom, including some brief interviews with staff, one which is done with a young Shinji Mikami. Other than that, there is an extended preview of the sci-fi fighting game Star Gladiator and a commercial for the tokusatsu series Shichisei Toushin Guyferd, a joint collaboration between Capcom and Toho.
One segment goes over the prizes fan club members could win by sending a postcard to Capcom, including any Capcom game for any platform (minus Disney-licensed games and have to include why you want the game), a Vampire Hunter (Dark Stalkers) telephone card or poster, or simply a Toy Story video game poster. At the end of the tape there is some release information, but more interesting than that is the announcement of the Capcom webpage, which was so 1996, down to the visitor counter on the home page.
The hostess of this video is named Yukako Kisaragi (如月由香子). I couldn't find any information on her online. But I will say she is like the perfect 90s girl next door (in Japan, anyway). I hope she wasn't disappeared by the Yakuza or North Korea.
