RUNE Boutique World Debut Videos

Of course I went surfing the net for video content on the Rune Boutique World Debut. To my surprise, I found some great highlights of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu performing live, for the first time in the U.S.

  

  

These are the two music videos released for her hit single PonPonPon & TsukemaTsukeru, to be her first single released in January. 

And what would such an event be without featuring the fashions of 6% DokiDoki ... here are 3 parts to their presentation! And if you just want to see the entire party live, head on over to NicoNico!

Comic News: Dark Horse Present's- John Arcudi's The Creep!

DARK HORSE PRESENTS:

JOHN ARCUDI’S THE CREEP!

December 12, MILWAUKIE, OR – With another incredible addition to the increasingly impressive lineup, Dark Horse Comics will publish John Arcudi’s three-part suicide mystery, The Creep, beginning in Dark Horse Presents #11!

In the summer of 1987, a young teenage boy commits suicide. The boy’s mother is unsatisfied with the police’s lack of interest in the motivation behind it, or what connection it might have to the suicide of the boy’s former best friend. She remembers that she heard an old college boyfriend of hers, Oxel, is a private detective. What she doesn’t know is Oxel suffers from a debilitating condition called acromegaly. Will the contact from his old flame be all that Oxel needs to take the case?

“Murder mysteries are common in suspense fiction, but you don’t hear much about suicide mysteries. Oxel starts to wonder if maybe he was hired to help this woman solve the riddle of her life more than that of her son’s death. But then, in the end, it turns out that this really is a suicide mystery, after all. And add to all that the additional layer of this ex-girlfriend knowing nothing about Oxel’s disfiguring illness, since she hasn't seen him in 20 years,” Arcudi says. “And after seeing Jonathan’s Dear Creature, it struck me that he was perfect for The Creep and we were lucky to get him.”

“I’m very pleased to be working with Dark Horse again and a comics vet like John. We’re just getting into the swing of things, but I already have a lot of interesting material to draw. Since I’ll be coloring The Creep, it’s also a good chance to stretch myself artistically (most of my comics have been straight black and white). The fact that I get to do that in service of a good writer is icing on the cake.” – Jonathan Case

Dark Horse Presents #11 is on sale April 18^th, 2012!

Comic News: Dark Horse Comics-Collects Brian Wood's Channel Zero!

DARK HORSE COLLECTS CHANNEL ZERO!

THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF BRIAN WOOD’S FIRST SERIES!

December 12, MILWAUKIE, OR – Out of print and unavailable to readers for more than three years, Dark Horse Comics is giving new life to a critically acclaimed classic with the complete collection of Brian Wood’s Channel Zero!

DMZ and The Massive creator Brian Wood launched an all-out assault on the comics medium in 1997 with Channel Zero, an influential, forward-thinking series that combined art, politics, and graphic design in a unique way. Hitting on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then.

The Channel Zero collection contains the original series; the prequel graphic novel, Jennie One (illustrated by Becky Cloonan); the best of the two Public Domain design books; and almost fifteen years of extras, rarities, short stories, and unused art. Also featuring the now-classic Warren Ellis introduction and an all-new cover by Wood, this is the must-have edition. A blistering take on media control in a repressive future America!

"Channel Zero is literally the start of my comics career, the first proper comic I ever made, and as such as informed everything that's come after it, especially DMZ and the upcoming THE MASSIVE.” Tells Brian Wood. “It also put me and Becky Cloonan together, helping build a creative partnership that has lasted a decade. This edition here is the definitive one, including everything worth printing, including a color section that includes the original covers to the single issues."

Praise for Brian Wood & Channel Zero:

“Wood’s message is clear enough: apathy is the real enemy, and it is harder to fight than any totalitarian government.”—Wired

“It’s about anger as a positive force of creation…Someone’s remembered what comics are for. Meet Brian Wood.”—Warren Ellis, award-winning writer of Planetary

"Dramatic Black and White visuals...Controlled sense of rhythm." — I.D. magazine

“Your handbook for the media revolution.”—Eyeball magazine

"Strangely prescient... lucid and sharp” - Matt Fraction

"A seemingly endless barrage of powerful art" - Newtype USA

"Fascinating... this is a paranoid future Grant Morrison could not conceive of" - Comics International

The Channel Zero Collection is on sale May 30^th, 2012!

Movie News: Men In Black 3 Official Trailer 5/25/12

Hey Otakus and Geeks Fans, here is the official trailer for Men In Black 3. Here is the movie synopsis:

After a decade hiatus, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in proper form as the slick-dressed alien-arresting memory-wipers. This time, however, after Jones' Agent K gets temporally-wiped from existence, Smith's Agent J puts himself through the Marty McFly experience, as he's whisked back in time to 1969 to prevent the incident at the source, where he encounters K's younger counterpart, played by Josh Brolin, as well as the jaw-dropping younger version of Emma Thompson's Agent Oh, who will be played by Alice Eve.

RUNE Boutique World Debut

"Transmitting the tradition of kawaii from Japan to the rest of the world"

You don't have to be into fashion hard for this one! You just need to know the word "kawaii" and while it is Japanese for "cute", saying anything other than kawaii just doesn't hold the sale weight. All lolitas, otakus, fashionistas & such have the one and only Rune Naito to thank for that!

Since Naito's passing in 2007, the kawaii surge has been on a rise, though that's an understatement. As a lolita, I was extremely happy to see that the home to the Rune Naito Boutique launch was in Los Angeles. However, just like trying to get to Japan for such marvelous events & gatherings, I was not able to make it to LA ... Mostly due to timing and being on tour in Atlanta, and paryly due to $$$ ... BUT ...

I made a call & after a bit of begging and pleading (not really, but I did ask nicely and bat my eyelashes LOL), my good friend, artist collegue, and collective member - Kelly Crown (@crowniemarie) - agreed tongo in my stead. While I forgot to ask her if she attelpted to dress the part for the occassion, she did report that I'd have experienced a bit of sugar overload & lost myself in the expereince. Simply put, it was KAWAII (duuuhhhhh!)

Here is some of the best that K. Crown had to offer for experiencing such a history making event.
If you're in the LA Area, be sure to visit the Rune Boutique before it closes, January 9, 2012.

Royal/T Cafe

8910 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

I PROMISE it wouldn't be a wasted effort ... Eveyone's a bit kawaii at heart ;-) ~je t'adore

** this post DOES have a Part 2. Stay Tuned for another hot date tomorrow, 12/13, at 1pm for a follow-up to 'This Week in ... Fashion, <3 IKB'

enjoy & je t'adore!

Battleship Trailer

"You sunk my Battleship." Never in a million years did I think that this will ever be a movie, but with the write plot and characters it could work. Here is the synopsis of the film.

Synopsis:
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancée; Alexander Skarsgård as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.

Berg directs this epic action-adventure also produced by Scott Stuber (Couples Retreat), Sarah Aubrey (The Kingdom), Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir of Hasbro (the Transformers franchise), along with Duncan Henderson (Master and Commander) and Jeffrey Silver (300). The film is written by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (Red).

Comic News: Dark Horse Comics-A Message From Mike Richardson

December 5th, 2012

Dark Horse retail partners and fans,

You may have been surprised by our recent announcement regarding digital pricing.

We apologize for the confusion and concern surrounding Dark Horse's recent announcement of simultaneous release in print and digital. We want to make it clear that nowhere in our announcement (see below) did we indicate that our same-day digital pricing would be less than that of our physical books. Due to some miscommunication, there has been widespread speculation based on our current pricing model.
To clarify: We have chosen to release all new single-issue comics digitally for the price of $2.99 for the first month, dropping to our standard digital pricing of $1.99 after that. Dark Horse values our retail partners and is grateful for the twenty-five years of business we've done together. We have considered the retail community in all of our digital decisions and look at direct-market shops as crucial to our continued success. With that in mind, Dark Horse will make every effort to keep our comics retailers strong in a changing market. We continue to value everyone who both buys and sells Dark Horse products, and thank you for your support. All of you are the reason we are here today.

Mike Richardson

Geeks Who Do Music Interview With Gary Samurai

As you know we have a featured called "Geeks Who Do Music" where we showcase geeks who do music. Our first geek is a hip-hop artist by the name Gary Samurai. We chat anime, his music and more.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Let’s talk first about your origins in music. What made you fall in love with Hip-Hop?

Gary Samurai: Honestly, listening to The College Dropout is what made me fall in love with hip hop. Just hearing Kanye West & knowing that you could be exactly who you are & be accepted was enough for me to realize that I loved it.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Your production on your EP “Sleepless In Atlanta” is very soulful. Any musical influences that you had growing up?

Gary Samurai: Thank you. As far as production goes, I have only a few influences with producing. Those people would be MF DOOM, Daft Punk, & Kanye West. The way they all produce is just so ill to me, but I would never touch their styles. The only influence I have from them is the energy & all around feel of music.

OtakusandGeeks.com: What is your thought process when making a song? How do you choose the subject matter of your songs?

Gary Samurai: I mostly just choose to write about my life. Whether it be something I like, dislike, or am intrigued by, it has to pertain to my life in some way. I can’t write about it if I haven’t been through it.

OtakusandGeeks.com: You cleverly make geeky and anime references in your songs. Let’s talk a little about your geeky origins. What type of geek are you and what age did you notice you were a geek?

Gary Samurai: I’ve been a geek for as long as I’ve been alive, but I really started to notice when I was in the first grade. It’d really be hard for me to choose what type of geek I am, but I’d say I’m more of a book geek. I just love to read & learn new things, while also escaping to new places.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Being an Otaku, what are your choices for 5 must watch animes?

Gary Samurai: 1. Evangelion 2. Hellsing 3. Afro Samurai 4. Yu Yu Hakusho 5. Air Gear

OtakusandGeeks.com: Favorite Anime character and why?

Gary Samurai: Shinji Ikari of the Evangelion series. He and I share the same story. One of his reasons for piloting an EVA is to gain acceptance from his father. That’s also one of my reasons for making music.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Interesting choices. Can we expect an EP dedicated purely to anime?

Gary Samurai: Samurai Cinema isn’t solely dedicated to anime, but there is a song or two dedicated to a series. I don’t really want to fall under the category of “anime rapper”, I just want to be looked at as an artist. When you focus on one thing, you tend to get old.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Do you have any favorite artist from Japan? What makes your ears tingle about their music?

Gary Samurai: I absolutely love Aqua Timez! Their music has just always been dope to me. I also love SAWA. I just love her voice.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Any artist that you will love to collaborate with?

Gary Samurai: I really want to collaborate with Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and June Chikuma. I’m more into wanting to get the chance to collaborate with sound teams. I really want to be able to music along the lines of things you would find in an OST.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Any new projects that you are working on?

Gary Samurai: I’m actually working on a lot of big stuff. I can’t really talk about everything that I’m working on, but all I will say is that “Samurai Cinema” is only the beginning.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Time for our usual fun questions from the readers. Are you ready?

Gary Samurai: Heck yeah! Let’s go, lol.

OtakusandGeeks.com: ILoveKay asked: What anime would you love to do a theme song for?

Gary Samurai: If I could do a theme for Evangelion, Hellsing, or Afro Samurai, I’d flip. Lol.

OtakusandGeeks.com: GamerTed asked: Are you a gamer if so, what is your favorite game?

Gary Samurai: Yes, I actually am! My favorite game to play has & always will be Mortal Kombat. Always been a game I was infatuated with since my younger days. Jet Set Radio is a CLOSE second, though.

OtakusandGeeks.com: Sarah asked: One universe you can live in, what will it be?

Gary Samurai: Hmm, this is a pretty cool question. I wish I could answer it in a better way, but the only universe I would care to live in is Earth-616. If I’m not mistaken, it was invaded by zombies.

OtakusandGeeks.com: You have the floor promote, promote!

Gary Samurai: Awesome! Everyone make sure you go to http://garysamurai.bandcamp.com/ for all of my music & check out the other social networks I’m a part of!

OtakusandGeeks.com: Finally Words Of Wisdom from Gary Samurai?

Gary Samurai: If anyone reading this takes anything from me, always follow your dreams. If you decide that you want to be or do something, do it. Don’t let anyone influence your choice. Achieving your goals is a better feeling than following someone’s rules.

mercibeaucoup,

'purely, happily, beautifully. mercibeacoup,

neat and proper, but with some fun.

do have something to say, but never with airs put on.

mercibeacoup,

in the name, we show our dedication

never to forget but everyday cherish,

the precious feeling of appreciation and thank.'

                               ~mercibeaucoup,

Happy Sunday! I found a post a while ago that hipped me to a great brand to share, MERCIBEAUCOUP. Surfing Tokyo Fashion's site, the name appears numerous times, but it wasn't until I went on a random, but thankfully short, Hello Kitty obsession back in October that I truly paid attention to this brand.

Here are some of the fun images I ran across as I read, ooh'd & ahh'd, and lusted over the collection on Kawaii Paradise's blog. Needless to say, I googled and found soooo much more ... BUT ...

... They have an OFFICIAL SITE. Not only was I in awe of past collections, but I peeped the video of their 2012 Spring/ Summer Collection. Be sure to head over there and check i out. In my opinion, it is among one of the most creative ways to present a collection, to date. Might I suggest, in you checking it out, that you pay special attention to the last minute and 16 seconds and note their Brand Concept ... it definitely goes hand in hand. Though their latest news is posted in Japanese, you'll get the point ... 

Here are some shares of their 2012 Spring/ Summer Collection, but this does NO justice for their presentation, so be sure go & 

'keep running. 

keep wishing'

                         ~mercibeaucoup

Neon Genesis Evangelion Ending Thoughts

I decided to re-watch the entire "Neon Genesis Evangelion" series again. My favorite episode is the finale episode 26 "Take Care Of Yourself." I felt that ending was brilliant and a great way to end the series. However many fans hated how this series ended. Truthfully I don't understand how anyone could really hate this ending. I felt the ending gave closure to Shinji. We finally see Shingi stepped out of his shell, and come to terms with who he is. Let's take a look at the final minutes of the series, as Shingi has just finished seeing an alternate reality of himself.



"My life is worth living here." When Shingi finally says those words, you can't help but stand up and cheer and say congratulations with the characters. The best part of this ending is the wisdom the characters tell Shingi. Things about truth and reality, really has you thinking. I think this is one of the best endings in Anime, nothing but pure character development that comes full circle. Great themes, great message and a heartwarming ending. What do you think of the ending? Did you enjoy it? Did you hate it? If you did why did you hate it? Leave a comment and voice your views.

Some TEE's to Talk About
