According to a post from TokyoGraph, Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 released original Ghost In The Shell is coming back to theaters, this time in totally digitized picture format and with updated 6.1 surround sound. Seems the plot hasn’t changed at all. 

The flick is coming to theaters on July 12th, in Japan, under the title Ghost In The Shell 2.0.

If you like movies such as Funky Forest, The Taste of Tea or Party 7, then obviously you could possibly be a fan of Ishii Katsuhito. His movies are somewhat extravagant and sometimes hard to understand. Anyway, there is also a special coolness, lovely details and funny scenes that make his movies so enjoyable.

Nice Rainbow is Ishii’s company and now there is a shop section for oversea customers, newly added. Now, people not living in Japan can buy great shirts with applications of Kaorider, Guitar Brothers, Notti and Takefumi, etc. There are also other goods. Go, check ‘em out. Be sure to check out Nice Rainbow’s website, it’s nice.

Thanks to ryuganji for the tip.

goo.jp seems to be a very popular search engine in Japan, besides the already wellknown Yahoo and Google. Mari tells us in here diary that Google wants goo.jp’s technology. Nonetheless, goo.jp’s Commercial ad is very nice made (can you get the clue at the end of the video?).

Watch the video below.

Thanks to Mari for the source.

Stumbled upon this very funny Subaru ad at Tokyomango. It is a nice contrary to the Mars ad (you know it?).

Omodaka, is a project incorporating Far East Recording and different artists like Power Graphixx, Teppei Maki, Hiroshi Kizu and others, developed through a ‘trial and error process of mutational fusion of music and motion graphics’. Kyotoeizinc is by far their nicest creation I’ve seen till now, nice chiptunes, beautiful dancer, great composition of sound and graphics. It’s a must see!!

Watch the video below. You can also buy their music on iTunes.

火垂るの墓 (Hotaru No Haka) or Grave Of The Fireflies is going into reality. With a release scheduled for this year’s summer. I am waiting for it. The animation was very good, well, very sad. I have high hopes for this movie.

Thanks mari

Already wrote about it a few months ago, but nevertheless I going to post it again, today in an extended version with subtitles for your (and my) better understanding.

Didn’t even knew this game exists, but God Hand somehow must be a funny game. At least the Commercial is hilarious. Watch it after the break.
