This is the NHK warning about a tsunami following the earthquake in Ishikawa on 1 January 2024. Long-time residents of Japan will know that NHK announcers are famously calm during disasters, even when the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami (which killed more than 18,000 people) struck. It might be my imagination, but this one sounds more urgent than others I've heard. The woman says, "Stop watching TV and run away immediately."

"i love you i love you i love you!"

(everything, everywhere, all at once is truly one of my favorite movies so i applaud shoma for bravely choosing this ost a lot. and yes, clair de lune is also repeatedly thematically used in eeao. it's not just a random feature here)

The very last cast watch party for episode 25 of TIGER & BUNNY 2 has ended, where the cast and production staff discussed about the final episode, like Katsura story boarding for an anime for the first time and about the final act of Yuri Petrov. They gave their heartfelt thank yous and appreciation for all the support that the fans have given to this series for these 10+ years. The live stream can be watched here (note - no subtitles).

There were no new anime continuation announcements at this time.

Although there were no continuation announcements, there was an update of the recent one-shot manga that had released in November. This saw the return of series' Main Character Designer, Masakazu Katsura and Main Scriptwriter, Masafumi Nishida, collaborate once again to write/draw a few new additional pages, which are set after TIGER & BUNNY 2. This can be viewed at the link:

There was also an announcement that TIGER & BUNNY 2 will receive a Japanese weekly TV broadcast over on the NHK channel from April 2023. Personally I am thrilled to see this, as it will allow the season to outreach a much more broader audience than the Netflix exclusivity allowed it to, so hopefully the season will garner more potential viewership and attention!

TIGER & BUNNY 2 The Comic illustrator, Hiroshi Ueda, also contributed art for the event:

Although a sequel/follow up anime may have not been announced at this time, we still have plenty of content to enjoy right now. Some content such as the on-going 2 manga series (by Mizuki Sakakibara and the other written by Erika Yoshida and illustrated by Hiroshi Ueda) the audio dramas with the Japanese home Blu-ray releases, the upcoming artbook that's expected to be released in March and hopefully more books and interviews announcements to follow, The Jazz of TIGER & BUNNY 2 event and the Museum in January and the endless collaborations and merchandise that keep on flooding through.

It's never been a better time to be a TIGER & BUNNY fan 🐯🐰

ブギウギ or "Boogie Woogie", a dorama about the life of legendary Japanese singer Kasagi Shizuko, will premiere this autumn on NHK. A Plot: Sets in the 1910s, this is the story of Hanada Suzuko, a young girl who grew up in a family that owned a bathhouse in downtown Osaka. From a young age, Suzuko loved to sing and dance, and joined the Umemaru Girls Opera Company (USK) in Dotonbori. Suzuko continued to show her talent for singing and eventually became a star of the postwar era. Umemaru Girls Troupe is a dorama name for an all-female theatre OSK Nippon Kagekidan, established in 1922. OSK actresses also took part in some scenes of the film.

2022 NHK Trophy, Sapporo - Free Dance

skimmed through NHK men's free skate and stopped to see how Deniss did; this screenshot is a pretty good summation

[alphabetsoup-blogposts]

"Rosatom"

ought to be:

Mota—ROS (Russia)*

right? Or, where a subtler disguise is warranted:

Mota—OSR (Ostrava)

Moto—SAR/RSA (eg, SprintAir, South Africa)

Motor—AS/SA (eg, Saudi Arabia, South African Airways)

Motors—A (eg, airport)

where Mota and Moto are Mary, Motor is Montura and Motors is Engines.

And, in similar vein:

"Bakhmut"

is

Thumb—AK/KA (eg Alaska,; AK-47; Aero Nomad Airlines, KG; AirAsia, MY...)

where Thumb is Mary and AK-47 is Spice.

*see also "no funding restrictions for the army", where "Army" is Mary (or Troop).

Ayumi Hamasaki will perform a special “25th A SUMMER medley” on NHK’s Live Yell on August 16th! The medley will include “HANABI” and “fairyland;” this will be her first television performance of the latter in 18 years! edit August 12: realized while putting screenshots up that I had the wrong date on this post 🙈 broadcast took place August 12.

[rivangel]

oh yeah

for the first time in NHK’s history an “interview will be conducted with an anime protagonist” (Eren) on October 23rd, 11:45pm JST right.

it’s in a documentary style - but it’s also being described as a “story” with narrators.

BUT I JUST LEARNED

LEVI MIKASA AND ARMIN WILL BE THERE TOO
