The theme of this week is that Hina is cute. Does anyone know if models are required to pose like that though?
Seems like kind of an awkward pose
Let's balance it out by talking about the guest of this plot, Takahashi Mitsuomi, or BoukenRed as you guys probably know him. Man, has it really been five years since Boukenger (since they were the last anniversary series)?
OOO 18 released
We have this special promo that includes this screen shot this week. What is it? It's a list of many, many names. It's pretty impressive, take a moment to go through them.
The word:
Konpon 根本 【こんぽん】 (n) origin, source, foundation, root, base, principle, (P)
Kon means "root" and hon/pon means "book", although in this case means "main, head"

Yup, it's time to ask for more art for splashes (1280x720) for active shows and banner pics (height should be 88 pixels high and a reasonable width). Remember to include your name or handle in the picture if you want credit. Thanks!
E-mail submissions or PM them to me over the forums. Thanks!

The Word:
Monokage 物影 【ものかげ】 (n) a form, a shape
This word interested me because it uses kage/shadow to describe an object's shape/form. I dunno, kind of reminds me of a silhouette

So this might be something that's only of interest to me. I recently watched this anime called Ore no Imouto wa konna ni kawaii wake ga nai/My little sister can't be this cute, so I thought I'd listen to the Internet radio show for the show. It was kind of interesting, so I thought to transcribe some of it and share it with you guys

So most people know by now that the new Rider is played by R5/ Iwanaga Hiroaki. The guy is hilarious, you should read his blog. In particular, I want to include his blog entry from right after his first appearance in Kamen Rider:
http://ameblo.jp/hiroaki-iwanaga/entry-10748960679.html
"As for Kamen Rider, I'm going to dash into the New Year's and rampage! Cute baby-tachi, don't fall in love with me! Good! My heart's been scaled before. No wait, sorry, I'm so tired that I'm going a bit nuts"

HeartCatch 46 released
The word:
Munashii 空しい 【むなしい】 (adj) vacant, futile, vain, void, empty, ineffective, lifeless, (P)
Thought this would be an interesting word to mention because the kanji for that means sky usually, but it's also used for space/vacuum

Mmm, decadent cake. You know it's decadent because it's so moist and soft. It's soft and moist because it's full of fattening fat. This is the price that you pay for your decadence! Waxing in self-indulgence. Does the cake not tempt you?

So right now, I don't really know the specifics for our 3D releases. If we can do it, we'll do it. But I wanted to reassure people that we're definitely releasing the 2D versions. We're just waiting for the 3D release because it's 2D compatible and the combined pack is cheaper than buying 2D W and Goseiger movies separately

Chiba Reiko, who plays Mei, later on became a yoga instructor. You can see how she looked in 1995 because she did a guest appearance in one of the Hibiki commercials. For a while, there was a rumor that she was the daughter of Sonny Chiba, but this was proven false and IMDB has removed this information from her page since then. (Sonny Chiba does have children, but they took on his real family name, Maeda)
Looking at her Japanese wiki page, apparently she had never met a man as scary as Director Toujou Shouhei during the filming of ZyuRanger. In an unverified pargraph, it says the director said things like, "Mei, you idiot! Why don't you go die?!" "You sure are crying a lot! Stop it! Change in scenario! Switch heroines!" "I've never seen such an awful female warrior before!" which would cause her to cry everyday. But he strictly taught her manners and courtesy and in the end she was grateful to him. The last thing that it says is that they both came from Fukushima, so the director complained that she had a bit of an accent. Secretly she thought, "The director also has that accent..."
Like I said, I didn't see a source for this story, so who knows how true it is. Take it with a grain of salt
ZyuRanger 05 released
