One Piece in Space

If you are planning a trip to Japan or live there you will want to check out you local planetariums.  The Konica Minolta Planetarium Company is sponsoring a Summer One Piece Planetarium event.  The planetariums that are participating will have One Piece characters during their sessions.  Nami will navigate visitors around constellations, meteors, and auroras while Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, and Franky will make interruptions.  There will also be anime scenes interspersed during the show, which will last 35 minutes.

Two of the Planetariums will be Manten Planetarium in Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City shopping center July 13 – September 8 and at Tenku Planetarium July 20 – September 1.  As mentioned earlier it will be at other planetariums so be sure to check them out and have some fun.

Nami’s Prized Mikans Now in Stores

Yes that’s right Nami’s prized Mikan oranges will be sold in stores (straight out of One Piece), just not in the U.S.  Starting in October Japanese supermarkets and department stores will begin selling Nami’s Mikan ~Premium~ oranges.  They are prized for their “sweetness”  You can see an add for them above and there will be different size boxes that customers can choose from with different artwork on each size.  Just plain fun!
