By the way, as an aside, Ranka Lee’s name is officially romanized as “Lanca Lee”. This information comes from Tokyo Anime Fair t-shirts with English text on them.

EDIT: I realized that some people were quoting this post with the official spelling of Ranka’s name. It was really spelled that way in the Tokyo Anime Fair goodies, but it is also spelled “Ranka” in other official promo materials. I suppose it could go either way? I’m going with “Ranka” now since it sounds better. (more…)

Nice nails, but what’s with the tongue? This image was published in Yahoo! News Japan which also contains details on the album. (more…)

Now to make a proper post about the anniversary The website maintenance experience turned out to be a crash course on news gathering, delivery, and Wordpress administration. I’d like to share this animated site map to give an idea as to how website views have progressed throughout the year.

Again, thanks for all readers, contributors, and of course to our muse, Yoko Kanno (more…)

Yoko Kanno has been announced as one of the cast for Koji Morimoto’s film short “Dimension Bomb” for the “Genius Party Beyond” series. She has previously composed the music to Shinichiro Watanabe’s film short “Baby Blue” in Genius Party.

By the way, it’s already one year since this site was born! Thanks for everyone who has ever visited. I’ll make a slideshow of the visitor map progress some time over the weekend (more…)
