Japanese satellite TV channel Mondo21 is airing a new bi-monthly show centered around shoot'em ups, titled シューティングゲーム攻略軍団参上！, which I'm told translates as "Calling the Shooting Game Advice Corps." Program host Nakano Ryuuzou, who also produced the Dodonpachi: Daioujou Black Label superplay DVD, brings in different expert players for in-depth discussions on particular games from the genre.

The first of the show's 13 hour-long episodes covers Raiden IV, featuring an interview with a gamer who plays with two ships at a time. Future shoot'em ups planned for the program include Darius II, Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta, and Chopper I. Normally, I'd hold out hope for someone to collect and bring the shows stateside with subtitles, but I'm still waiting for Retro Game Master's DVD release in North America.
