ã½(ã¡ ï½Ð´)ï¾ ã ã«ã¼ï¼ï¼ WTH!? The Asahiya store at Sogo HK takes my reserve money, tells me I can't cancel, makes me wait for a month and then tells me they don't have the 5cm novel any more!? This is ridiculous... They kidding me on or...
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...
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...
Shinkai, Amazon and Media Factory have all updated their sites with the cover that will be used for the novel. I was actually expecting to see it on Shinkai's site first but Amazon actually had it much earlier. In fact, trying to find more info about the novel hadn't been that easy and Amazon was kind of the last place I expected to find any....
Just a few days ago, I posted about the rumours that a standalone version of the "5 Centimeters per Second" novel was going to be released next month. Well, I've finally found a different source besides the JP Wikipedia and blogs. While searching for news about the novel as usual, a new result popped up today and it was from the Amazon...
Ah, finally a release date for the 5cm novel. Well, it's actually unconfirmed but as you know, the serialised version of the novel just ended in last month's October issue of Da Vinci. Now several Japanese blogs are claiming the standalone version is due out next month in November. Even the Wikipedia entry's been updated with this...
Hmmm, "Kaguya".... That's the name of that little mistress from the Kyoto House in Code Geass but no, this isn't what this post is about. Nicknamed "Kaguya", the name of the princess that ascended to the moon in a Japanese folklore story, the "SELENE" lunar probe was launched into space on an H-IIA Rocket No. 13 at 10:31 JST today...
An early post today since I already had this written up from last night. I decided to give the short story translation from yesterday a separate post because considering how long the post was, some people might end up missing this gem. I didn't like having it stuck in the centre. This is one of the 10 short stories that Shinkai came up with...
Yes, after watching a downloaded copy I liked the movie so much I decided to shell out for it. My limited edition of "Byousoku 5 Centimeters" arrived from Play-Asia safely this morning with no custom charges. The last time I tried ordering a Japanese DVD, they taxed me around £10 or so... Originally I was planning to order from the...
That's right. There's going to be a novel of Shinkai's latest movie "5 Centimeters per Second" and it's going to have some extra content in it. In fact, it's already being serialised in the Japanese novel magazine, "Da Vinci" since the May issue. According to the official "5cm Staff Blog", what happened was some of Shinkai's fans who...
