Ranma ½ gets Live Action special

O_o I always wanted a dorama version of Ranma but I never thought they'd actually make one. It even looks like they're putting some effort and money into it 'cause it has a good time slot and a bunch of well known actors.
It's set to be a 2 hr special some time in Decomber.

Cast:
Aragaki Yui as Tendo Akane
Kaku Kento as Saotome Ranma (m)
Natsuna as Saotome Ranma (f)
Hasegawa Kyoko as Tendo Kasumi
Namase Katsuhisa as Tendo Soun
Tanihara Shosuke as Ono Tofu
Furuta Arata as Saotome Genma

(Edit: Did not know that that text format was some kind of picture... come on it was basically just space! I do not hot-link pictures knowingly!)



I know it might turn out horrible but I'm exited about it none the less :D and looking forward to watching it.

So if you're a fan or simply want to support Japanese music internationally go buy one! And if you've never listened to Domoto Tsuyoshi before, give him a try, he is a really good singer (^-^)d

I'm not sure what kind of music he's going with for this album but here is the single he released last April, Eni wo Yuite.

Samurai Vader

It's been quite a while since I found this one but I really wanted to share it anyway cause I think it's kind of awesome :D

A Darth Vader samurai doll is being released! And it's really big O_o 52 cm tall. Then again you have to pay 136,500 yen for it so make sure you have some (a lot) of extra savings and a glorious spot to put him in.
