in the original language. There are also cable TV stations that broadcast

hotels and some apartment buildings in Tokyo. There is also NHK BS and
Wowow (Broadcast Satellite). In addition, there is PerfecTV and DirecTV.
To receive any of these, you will need to buy a satellite dish and decoder.
In order to view PerfecTV and DirecTV, you will also need to go through
a registration process.

First
run movies are called 'Roadshows' and they run for weeks at the main theaters.
There may only be standing room at the "Roadshows", but Sunday
mornings and late shows in the Hibiya area are usually less crowded. Tickets
can be bought at a reduced price if bought in advance and seats can be
reserved at the box offices. Moreover, the "Roadshow" theaters
have four "CINEMA DAYS" a year (March 1, Jun. 1, Sep. 1, Dec.
1) on which you can buy 1,000 yen tickets at the box-offices. If "CINEMA
DAY" falls on a Sunday, it will be moved to the next day.
