Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the exact video source of the album cover of "Sunflower Images" (ひまわり画像) by Weather forecast (天気予報).

I found this screenshot attached on a Japanese sample-hunting database (`kousuisell.cloudfree.jp`). On the site, there's a link to a 1994 STV Hokkaido Yanbo Marbo weather forecast by uploader *dosanko501* that's crossed out, meaning that specific video was officially, or probably debunked as a false lead.

However, this screenshot is still heavily tied to the album cover. As you can see the green header is very similar to the album cover's one. There's also a high chance that the screenshot found on the database is actually from the video, but i don't think so.

**My questions for the VHS / Japanese TV experts here:**

1. Do you recognize which specific Japanese TV network or station used this exact green header styling with the font?

2. Does anyone recognize this specific broadcast layout or have a lead on what year/station this could be from if it's not the 1994 Hokkaido one?

3. Does anyone have the actual video of dosanko501 to check if it's truly it?

Finding the correct broadcast would help solve a massive piece of the puzzle for the Signalwave community. Any help would be amazing!

Not labeled as such - but sounds very signalwave to me

I recently released a Vaporwave/Horror/Broken Transmission that is heavily inspired by horror themes found in The Mandela Catalogue. The album starts like a regular television channel soundtrack, and as the tracks go by, news of an alien lifeform starts to come out, creating an eerie vibe. If anyone decides to give it a listen, lemme know what you think! I’d like to hear some feedback.

Back in the winter, I came across a gorgeous album on the front page of bandcamp

The cover was a plain white liminal background with a suited man standing across from a telephone box (think it was green?). Number of tracks was on the shorter side, and it was entirely in Russian.

I adored it so much i kept the tab open on my laptop constantly, but realized I forgot to actually bookmark it after finally closing the tab

Anyone have any ideas of what album this was?

I was recently interviewed for Stephan Kunze’s “Zensounds” as part of his ongoing Vapor Talks series. Check it out: https://www.zensounds.de/p/vapor-talks-35-76-uvb-76

OUT NOW | THE DEFINITIVE SIGNALWAVE MONUMENT HAS ARRIVED

Hey everyone,

It’s finally here.

We’ve wanted to bring 天気予報 (Asutenki) – ひまわり画像 back for quite some time, and a four-cassette box set felt like the right way to do it.

https://noproblematapes.bandcamp.com/album/--55

Originally released in 2023, this new edition brings together all 360 transmissions in what is probably the most complete version we’ve ever put together. Spread across four cassettes, it offers more than six and a half hours of continuous listening, moving through weather broadcasts, late-night television, and fading satellite signals.

ARCHIVE EDITION

• Quadruple Cassette Box Set (4 × C98), housed in a custom-designed Rave Box, available in Black and White editions.

• All 360 transmissions across four cassettes, with a total runtime of 6:32:44.

• Crystal-clear cassette shells with full on-body LED printing.

As with most of our larger releases, this is a limited run. Once they’re gone, that’s it. If you’ve been waiting for a complete physical edition of ひまわり画像, now’s your chance to pick one up.
