FF:XIII

SAKAMOTO MAAYA!!

oh gosh, she's just great as Lightning.

i seem to do this every time a new Final Fantasy game is released.

my wishful thinking that someone would play the game while i just watch the beautiful CG and enjoy the story.

Nodame Film comes to SG

it might be due to the success of Gokusen: The Movie.

but yes, you read that right.

they are bringing Nodame Cantabile to SG cinemas!!

YAY!!

for those that still don't know what's going on, Nodame Cantabile Saishū Gakushō (Nodame Cantabile: The Final Movement) will be released as two movies. much like how 20th Century Boys was split into three.

the 1st movie opened last Saturday in Japan, but the SG release is on March 11 2010.

well, i should be thankful it's not like 6 months later.

so i'm guessing the 2nd movie will also be released 3 months later after the Japan premier, making it either a June or July release.

Nodame-lovers, don't forget to mark your calendar.

MU-KYAA~~

PS. and in case you still need something to tide you over, there's the 3rd anime series to look forward to in Jan 2010.

latest news is it had already earned 1.038 billion yen (~US$11.7 million) in its opening weekend, which by the way is just 2 days!

if you're not convinced, check out the youtube video below. not even Mr Edward Cullen or Mr Harry Potter are able to draw in the crowd like this.


One Piece BANZAI!

2009 Top-Selling Manga (cont'd)

the Top 10 best-selling manga by series in japan are,

01) One Piece (14,721,241 copies!!!)
02) Naruto (6,836,494 copies)
03) Bleach
04) Fullmetal Alchemist
05) Gintama
06) Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
07) Mei-chan no Shitsuji
08) Fairy Tail
09) 20th Century Boys
10) Saint Young Men

there is nothing, absolutely nothing, Naruto can do to even get close to One Piece.

to think it even doubled the amount of copies (5,956,540) from last year.

staggering staggering statistics.

i'm also glad that Mei-chan is in the Top 10. they have to thank Hiro-san and the other ikemen for that. *grins*

but once again,

ONE PIECE ROCKS!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

P.S. from the statistics, i can understand why the latest volume (#56) is getting a record print of 2.85 million copies. it's unavoidable!
