Try a video rental shop catering to the Japanese-speaking community; 
they will have off-the-air recordings of many of his television shows. 
The rental shops near me also have not only _A Scene at the Sea_ 
(_Ano Natsu, Ichiban Shizukana Umi_) but a number of older television 
dramas in which Kitano worked as an actor (such as _Iesu no Hakobune_ 
and _Keiji Yoroshiku_) as well.

Hope this helps.
