We’ve got a new contributor here at Nippon-Ichigo! Now you don’t have to put up with me 100% of the time!
A good friend of mine, Carolyn, otherwise known as Neno, is going to be writing posts here soon. Yaaay! She’s been a good friend of mine for several years. She and I share a mutual fondness for Sweet Things From Japan, with her tastes being slightly more saccharine.
Her main blog is Poor Wedding Planning, full of hands-on advice from someone who’s also in full-out wedding-planning mode.
It’s still Music Month! I hope you’re all working on your J-Blog Matsuri entries. The deadline approaches!
Kishidan, another of my favorite six-man bands, is releasing a new album: Kisarazu Graffiti!
It came out a few days ago. I want it so, so bad.
Kishidan is one of my favorite Japanese bands. Singing songs with themes ranging from camaraderie to love to just plain badassery, their classic style is fierce and unforgettable. Jump the cut and see some of my favorite songs/videos of theirs!

As someone on a forum I go to put it.
Marvel Entertainment and Madhouse have adapted Wolverine into an anime. This pretty much guarantees a new generation of fangirl submissions on deviantArt, drawing him all over the place, with perhaps one hand sweeping through his beautiful, flowing mullet, the other held up, tongue delicately licking sheer adamantium claws.
Um…
Yeah, so anyway, how about that?
(Oh, and there’s going to be an Iron Man anime, too. It looks much better. In fact, it’s awesome – especially if it’ll consistently have as much action as it does in that trailer.)
