The most recent full shinko I have from Sky Stage is... Nagasaki Shigurezakaa, I think. That was 2005. The most recent digest I have is Ryoma-den, so touch wood the waiting time for Kurotokage won't be vexingly long. :D
The reason shinko digests are now showing up so quickly is that TCA has given up releasing them commercially the way it used to. The same goes for Bow Halls; if they decide not to put them on DVD, they turn up on Sky Stage instead within a couple of months, e.g. Hallelujah GO! GO! and Scout. I'm not sure how they calculate which Bow Halls are going to bring in sufficiently serious money on DVD. Maybe they just draw straws.
