So Close! Detective Oshii 2

So Close! Detective Oshii 2

The case files of a most unfortunate detective Detective Oshii is brilliant. His flair for seeing through the mystery is unequaled. And yet… at the very last minute, his finger points to the wrong culprit! Always so close to the truth, and yet so far—. While the credit goes to everyone else but him, there never seems to be a shortage of cases for the "great" Detective Oshii!

Bands Reunited

Bands Reunited is a television program produced by VH1 in 2004. Hosted by Aamer Haleem, the show documented an attempted reunion of a formerly popular musical ensemble for a special concert in either London or Los Angeles. A show normally consisted of the crew first hunting down the ex-members of the band one-by-one, and convincing them to agree for the one-time concert; the members were "contracted" by signing a record album by their former band. The band members were then interviewed, usually focusing on the reasons of the breakup. The final segment would consist of the formal reunion of the band in the rehearsing studio, and a joint interview about why the group parted ways. If the reunion was successful, the episode ended with the final performance. In 2005, VH1 attempted to reunite the British band The Smiths, but the show abandoned its attempt after Aamer Haleem was unsuccessful in his attempt to corner lead singer Morrissey before a show.
