Radical Japan - Cinema and State (Radiance Films) Extras only 108...

This upload contains only the extras and special features in Radiance Films's box set "Radical Japan: Cinema and State" The films can be found in separate uploads.

NOTE: I will seed this torrent for two weeks after which it will be deleted from my hard drive and I won't be able to re-seed it in the future. It will be up to the community to keep it alive, if so desired. This is due to storage capacity and me wanting to prioritise films over extras. I still wanted to make these available as I had access to them this time.
