We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.

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.
