In his latest website update, Makoto Shinkai talks about how he will be moving to London to stay for a while early next year, at an English language school dorm. He doesn't know how long he'll be staying for but, anything up to an entire year which is what his visa will allow him. During that time, he'll be working on whatever work he...

The official site is now accepting applications for the première screening event which will be held on Christmas Eve in Tokyo. 130 lucky winners will be able to watch the first episode of the Anime show, listen to live performances of the theme...
Ys fans can now mark down February 28th 2008 as the day when the Ys I & II DS remakes will be out in Japan. I'm actually kind of disappointed they're not selling the two as a single package considering the size these ARPGs will probably end up as and that Falcom already sells a complete package for the PC (without the new features of course)....
Do they? I guess I'll find out by playing "Fragile: Sayounara Tsuki no Haikyo". The official site for this spooky looking Wii "exploration RPG" is now open and greets you with the following: This planet is so vast,
Its world overflows,
With so many people yet,
Every person ends up thinking,
"Why am I all alone?"...

I was hoping to get a hold of the 5cm novel a week after its release but unfortunately, my Japanese penpal is away on holiday so that's not going to be possible. I don't plan on paying Amazon US$34 for P&P when the book only costs US$12 so, I decided to ask a friend in HK to try and order it for me at the Asahiya bookstore. Last time I ordered some...
I was wondering when they were going to give us more info. It's been two months since Nintendo confirmed the bug in Paper Mario and now we finally have details about how to get replacement copies. I've e-mailed their service centre for instructions but I've yet to receive a reply. I wonder how long this will take? I probably should have...
Super Mario Galaxy arrived today and it's interesting to see Nintendo kept the nice cover that secretly spells out, "U R MR GAY" (notice where the sparkles are). I never would have noticed if none of the regular news blogs and forums I read didn't point it out. The graphics designer must have been bored and, I wonder what the person who...
