Imperial Hospitality
If you enjoyed our recent post on Arata Endo, Frank Lloyd Wright's counterpart in Japan we think you'll like this tour of the remains of the main entrance to the Imperial Hotel by the curator of the Meiji-mura Architectural Park near Negoya, Japan. Today the main entrance is all that survives of Wright's masterwork in Tokyo which is located in the Meiji-Mura Architectural Park.
View part one of the documentary that features an exhibition in Tokyo of the Imperial Hotel commemorating the 150th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's birth.

[Movie Review] Overdrive
9/10
I heard about this movie before it was released and basically I wanted to check it out because Arata Mackenyu and Higashide Masahiro were in it. Also, it reminded me of Initial D and I used to love that anime.
So it was a very pleasant surprise to see Morikawa Aoi and Kitamura Takumi in it, too. For me that was a solid line-up. All of them did really well even when Fujiwara had little screen time.
The story was simple but effective. There were a lot of subtleties and parallels that I enjoyed and kept replaying. I think they also effectively protrayed the grit behind-the-scenes alongside the awesome racing montage.
Arata Mackenyu was so effective as his character, Hiyama Noizumi, that he became much more charismatic as an actor for me. If I'm not mistaken, this is the second Masahiro Higashide movie I've seen after Ao Haru Ride and I remember thinking he did well as Mabuchi Kou. But this movie just proved he is also a versatile actor.
Lastly, I can't help but feel some of the scenes were somewhat foreshadowing for the future, if there ever will be a sequel. It might just be me being hopeful but they certainly included shots of the brothers with Morikawa Aoi's character, Endo Hikaru, as a prelude to a possible romance angle. She surely had good chemistry with both of them during those scenes.
All in all, the movie was nothing like Initial D but I enjoyed it a lot. This one is highly recommended as well.

Following up on last month's post on the Japanese architect and protege of Frank Lloyd Wright, Arata Endo we've sharing a recording of an excellent slide presentation from 1992 on Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan (1921), Tokyo Japan. Endo collaborated with Wright on the building. Endo supervised much of the work on Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan, after Wright's departure from Japan.
In the presentation, the late Edgar Taffel who studied as an apprentice to Wright at Taliesin discussed his unique perspectives on the building. (Note: the video quality is poor, but the sound quality is fairly good.)

Tell me b about your fanganronpa(if you don’t know where to start just do names talents and them summed up in one sentence)
sajkjskjas k SO:
i already have the death order set up, but i dont want to spoil it, since i am personally hoping that one day i’ll be able to make a fanganfic, but to sum it:
It doesn’t connect to the Hope’s Peak storyline, and instead focuses on a different talent school, Sailing Integrity. Sailing Integrity had decided to fund a cruise ship for their students, in order to ‘relax’ and to ‘support them utilizing their talents’. Among these people attending is Yuuki Mori(our protag), Ultimate Wedding Planner. The first day of sailing runs smoothly, and the girl retires for the night: until she wakes up from her alarm clock ringing, even though she doesn’t remember programming it to ring. Her ship dorm door is also locked. When it does click unlocked, however, she finds it empty, except for herself, 16 other students, and a robotic salamander going by the name of ‘Monomander’. And as you expect, the 16 of them are forced into a killing game.

Can you please do a list of houses inspired in architecture maya?
Fist off, there is not enough published about residential architecture inspired by the Mayan style from Latin America for me to include examples from this area of the world, although I am confident there are many. In the US, during the 1920s and 30s Mayan Revival became a favored style.
The most famous residential examples of Mayan inspired architecture from this time come from the Wright family. Here are the best examples:
Ennis House Frank Lloyd Wright
Hollyhock House Frank Lloyd Wright
John Sowden House Lloyd Wright
Other famous examples of Mayan Revival architecture include:
Mayan Theater Morgan, Walls & Clements
Kōshien Hotel Arata Endo
Beth Sholom Congregation Frank Lloyd Wright
