Opening to Fairy Fencer F
On this last Wednesday, Compile Heart began streaming the opening to the new Fairy Fencer F role-playing game, which will be available on PlayStation 3 in Japan on October 10. There is no release date for the North American market. However, I’m posting this because we get to hear Maho Matsunaga, a member of StylipS sing the opening entitled “Resonance World” and we don’t get to hear to many J-Pop songs. So thank you to “CompileHeartOFFICIAL” channel for releasing the opening, I enjoyed listening to it and you can check it out below:
New Toyota Commercial for Char Auris

Move Fast to See the Evangelion Exhibit
And yet another cool exhibit in Japan. This time it is in Tokyo. In Matsuya Ginza they are having a 1,300 piece exhibit for Evangelion, which coincidentally has a store there for you to purchase your Evangelion merchandise. In the 1,300 piece exhibit visitors will be able to view original drawings, storyboards, landscape layouts, video screens, and life size figures. But with this one you will have to hurry. The exhibit ends August 26. So if you happen to be in the area get there before the week is over. The exhibit is open from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., with an entrance fee of 1,000 yen ($10) for adults, 700 yen ($7) for college and high school students and free to junior high students and younger. I hope whoever can make it can.
Another Awesome Display in Japan
The broadcast station WOWOW has been displaying a full-size VF-25 Valkyrie at the Minatomirai station in Yokohama. WOWOW is doing this in conjunction with the station’s first time to air The Super Dimension Fortress Macross in HD. Everyone that goes through Minatormirai station is greeted, by this wow factor until September 2. If you happen to be near the station check it out.
One Piece Ice Cream Makers
If you are in Japan and are a One Piece fan you might want to stop by a Kentucky Fried Chicken. For a limited time when you purchase certain combo meals you can receive a One Piece ice cream maker. The ice cream makers have images of: Luffy; Chopper; and the Straw Hat Crew. I still love how companies in Japan have fun with their popular culture figures.

Glimpse Inside Ghibli Museum With Matsutoya’s Music Video
EMI Records is currently streaming a part of Yumi Matsutoya’s music video for the theme song for the upcoming, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli’s, The Wind Rises flim. The song is entitled Hikoki Gumo (Airplane Cloud). What makes the music video so unique is because part of it is filmed in the Ghibli Museum, which does not allow photos or videos to be taken in the museum. So thank you to the Ghibli Museum and EMI Records for allowing this rare look inside the museum walls.
