So I'm guessing all the singing and acting is in Japanese (I'd prefer to buy, if it's out on dvd (is it?) rather than DL so I've not seen it yet). How do the people understand it?
Fan Kan (usually) do not come out on DVD. Most always it's VHS and the, I think only sold at the theatres. (Though, sometimes DVDs have bonus footage.)
I'm not sure where this is from. I'm guessing either Japanese myu source traded for it somehow or a Chinese source encoded. The fandom doesn't generally use WMV format--and I found that a bit odd. It may even be from a Chinese mass media source as WMV is a streaming format.
Fan Kan are harder to get a hold of and oftentimes very expensive because there are so few produced. (You have to get them from either someone who's been to the theatre, online auction, or trade them with friends.)
So, to me anway, fan kan don't carry the same ethical obligations about needing to buy the items to supporting the show. (Though one'd assume that it's still against copyright laws.)
