The anime world suffered a great loss today, as it was revealed that veteran voice actor, Tokumaru Kan, had passed away. His agency, Arts Vision, explained that Tokumaru was battling an illness for a long time. He died at the age of 69. Tokumaru had played many roles during his career. Some include “Gaia” from Mobile Suit Gundam and “Fan Li” in Daikuu Maryuu Gaiking. Other titles include: 12 Kingdoms (12 kokuki), WOLF’S RAIN, DORAEMON, Black Jack 2 Special, and Detective Conan.

Our thoughts are with his family during their time of grief.

Heavenstamp - Major Debut

Rock band Heavenstamp, who were selected as an artist to watch in 2011 by J-WAVE, recently performed live at the McDonald’s Tokio Hot 100 Awards ceremony, where they formally announced their major debut.

As the performance started, the silhouettes of the four members appeared and they began performing songs from their first mini-album, “Hype“, released by Goldtone Records. Vocalist and guitarist Sally#Cinnamon led the crowd with her luxurious and wild performance, and during an MC sequence, she announced the band’s major debut to applause from the crowd. Heavenstamp then performed “Stand by You” to the crowd of 700.

Heavenstamp will be releasing their major debut EP, “Stand by You EP + Remixes“, on April 13th on Warner Music Japan.

Heavenstamp first formed in 2009, and quickly gained traction in the indie live scene with their hard rock sound. At the end of 2010, they released their first mini-album, “Hype”, to critical acclaim, which led to the announcement of their major label debut. “Stand by You EP + Remixes” will be produced in collaboration with Bloc Party’s Russel Risack, and will include remixes by 80kidz, Bloc Party, and Pepe Californi

 too awesome not to be posted…. anyway..

The popular Japanese comedy duo “Downtown“, consisting of Matsumoto Hitoshi and Hamada Masatoshi, will return to Fuji TV’s Sunday 8pm prime time slot with a new show.

It’s been 14 years since Downtown had their last show in the said time slot, but now it has been announced that they’re going return to the much coveted time slot with “Bakusho! Dainippon Akan Keisatsu“.

In the show they’re going to feature ridiculous police cases sent in by viewers that unintentionally make you laugh. One of those cases is going to feature a washing machine whose sounds had been mistaken as ecstatic moans.

The duo already aired three “Akan Keisatsu” specials at night and achieved ratings of 12.9%. Young and old viewers enjoy their conversations and comedy situations a lot, thus Fuji TV decided to turn it into a regular show and show it in the prime time.

The new show is scheduled to begin airing in April.
