After rewatching Takane no Hana in glorious 1080 on prime, I knew it was time to do something I had been procrastinating on; redownload/update my jdorama collection. I have over 5TB of jdoramas but a lot of them were 480p or less ie not watchable quality.
So I downloaded Takane no Hana and went looking for Salaryman Kintaro and surprisingly I had downloaded 720p versions of Kintaro except for season 4 way back in the day. I don't remember doing it but glad I don't need to download everything except there is a 1080i version of season 1 which is 34gb! Hhhmm.
Next show on my list was Coffee-ya no Hitobito. Most of what I had was 720p except I was stupid enough to download 480p for the last 2 episodes. What the hell was I thinking? I will not accept anything less than 1080p for Coffee-ya no Hitobito and it got my listening to the ending song, Sasagawa Miwa's Tsuzuku which I discovered was officially uploaded to youtube 9 months ago.
Love Tsuzuku. It goes perfectly with the Coffee-ya no Hitobito. I don't know any of her other songs but Tsuzuku is just amazing and 8.1k views is too little for such a beautiful song.
It is going to be a slow and steady trip redownloaded and maybe rewatching old shows. On my list is Suzuki sensei, Love Shuffle and maybe Golden Bowl.

@Akiramike - Just letting you know there is another way. It is a something the gamers clued into early, but Drama people seemed to have missed entirely.
I was shocked at how good most 480p/i copies of old shows looked on a good crt. I always thought it was I just had some crap DVDs and VCDs - but no, it was what I was watching them on. It's not just blacks returning to black, the motion, but spaces seem to have real volume and objects to have mass.
The only issue is number of CRTs for sale is evaporating weekly so that window is closing fast.
