waking up

Younha's new PV, te wo tsunaide, is out. I like her outfit and hair...and makeup.

ETA: Suga Shikao's new PV for the Death Note movie theme, A Midsummer's Night Dream is here!!!! (wish I weren't at work...with a hole in my shirt)

Here's news about the marketability about the two (one in July and one in October?) Death Note live action movies. Good news for fans since we could probably see the movie faster and less expensively through foreign releases...with the possibility of english-subtitles. I'm sure the USA buy-and-release of the movie will take three times as long as other countries..seeing how it takes the USA forever to figure out how to make the most money and then eventually doing the lamest marketing ever. Hopefully, it doesn't involve a remake...although a younger Johnny Depp would have been a pretty nice L.

Speaking of foreign releases, read something the other day about the new video formats having new region codings which is a business necessity, but being a fan of foreign entertainment, it's a pain. As soon as my dvd player breaks, I'm getting a region-free player..and I'll hold off on buying a blu-ray thing-a-ma-jig until there is a region-free option.

Do you have any recommendations so far as those region-free players go? I tried not to acquire a mound of DVDs here that won't play back in the states, but I suck, so.

yesasia has a few and many of them have reviews, so i'd look there since the prices are pretty good.

darn region coding trying to make americans ignorant of the porn in other countries.
