I don't think throwing her in with other acts is all that different from having her perform on television without releases. I was viewing these semi-releases as a way to get her into public consciousness before they release the big debut. Because if this was as big as it got, then that wouldn't be c...

The weirdest thing about this guy is that his books are automatically generated by automatically stealing information from the Internet. Yes.

I'm not exactly sure which part of her voice you're referring to. Her voice does odd (I'd say "cute" but others might say "bad") things even when live, so it could be that quality of her voice or it could be some tinkering. While I'm pretty certain they're correcting plenty of he...

It's amazing what multiple camera cuts can do to a video. It's better than what my low expectations thought they could do with the song, but they managed to make a semi-interesting video (or perhaps not mind-numbingly boring?), at least in terms of playing the game of "what clothes will she wea...

Two antonyms "connect" and "cut" combined to make a state name.



Alternate answer: the least beautiful part of New England.

Shakespeare himself couldn't have written a better drama.

He could have and he did.

One day very soon our world will be this silly movie.

Yeah, they use it live. My favorite story is about Kanye West cursing at a heckler at one of his shows.... but his autotune was turned on, so his anger was very melodious. His defenders say he was free-styling, but "eat shit and die" just doesn't sound the same under auto-tune.

In my first year of high school, the leader of our anime club snuck tentacle porn past our moderator who was a priest. It wasn't very sexy.

Uh, I'm not so sure her career is lost. She doesn't really have anything to mourn. I mean, maybe her singing career is lost, but she's been doing well in her prolific television career.

I like how the A edition is just the normal edition, but with a different head-tilt. I guess with four editions, they somehow ran out of pictures.

It was never licensed. It just ended up on amazon and some wanna-be reporter happened to see it and made a big stink. Amazon is so automated that virtually anything can be sold there if someone wants to. The screenshot of Amazon on that blog makes it clear that it was just a couple of marketplace se...

Wow. The "expert's opinion" on the original news source's site was surprisingly refreshing. I don’t think that it would make someone not so inclined to commit an illegal act more inclined or likely to commit a specific act. However if people are already inclined to view the world this way ...

Well, the reason I was wondering was because he's been dead for 20 years, so his collaboration can't be that deeply intertwined. Okay, now that I've listened to it, does anyone know the credits or how ravex works? Like does Shinichi Osawa do one song and the others do others, or do they all just wor...

Okay, I haven't listened to it yet, so I apologize about not talking about the music, but did they just take some old Osamu Tezuka artwork and slap it on the cover?

Now for $2.97 you too can legally own a lossy copy of Naichau Kamo ! Or you can pick and choose to not buy the instrumental track or the a-side! Of course it's not really $2.97. It's actually 3 credits at one credit per song. And, of course, you must buy 10 credits at minimum. Hooray, JapanFiles!

This is stupid. The ages are backwards. 15 year-old boys are supposed to impregnate 13 year-old girls.

Rock on, TnB. Now tell me what to listen to!

Perhaps lost in the understandable excitement about Anime Expo is this information about Japanfiles.com.

Well. I hope the Anime Expo has at least learned something from their horrible Momoi Haruko debacle. Although I suppose I didn't hear about any problems last year with Shokotan. But this will certainly be much bigger for the event to have to deal with.

I woke up this morning to mind singing to me, "Da.ki.shimete, Dakishi.mete." I guess that, uh, says something about the song.

[quote name='Falcon' post='59519' date='Feb 11 2009, 05:55 PM']I'm starting to wonder if the 'ya hoo' effect was just sampled once and they just randomly throw it in to songs for fun.

And another good video for Berryz. Awesome. I agree, TnB, it's not that hard to make a good video. You've got a bunch of cute girls to show off: there's no way these videos should be disgustingly boring. There's no way it should be bad.

I'm not one for congratulations and silly pleasantries, but I mean it when I say: Good luck, guys.
