While I wrote about Kadokawa’s Youtube channel opening in April, I had no idea of their true intentions. Kadokawa had pretty good sales numbers of their Haruhi DVD here in the U.S. What’s […] More
The origins of the Fukushahado begin with Indian scientist Rakshata Chawla. Her specialties include medical cybernetics, and she is the director of the Black Knight’s R&D team.

I’m surprised more sites aren’t talking about this since it was talked about on Japan Probe. Google’s street view is now available for Tokyo!.

Dwango’s latest ringtone offering leaves one to wonder what practical purpose it serves. We know people simple adore their dogs. Some even go as far as to buy designer dog houses for their special friends. Dwango hopes that those same people will also feel its necessary to have a mobile ringtone that only their dogs […] More
