Watched the last few minutes of the show Wednesday J-pop on NHK last night. They hadd this countdown and (maybe it's Oricon) guess who's on number 1? Of course, it's Arashi's "One Love"!! My sister and I were squeeing at the television telling my dad "look! look pa! it's Arashi! it's Taro!". haha XD
According to a research they made, his manga is so influential it made a 20% increase to the number of people who played basketball in Japan. They even showed a video of his CM for Shiseido where he painted on the floor with a giant paintbrush... just like a big art attack on Disney channel!. It's soooooo cool!!! Also, when the last volume of Slam Dunk was published, he had an exhibit of chalk drawings on blackboards on what happened to the characters of the manga. Because of the huge sales of Slam Dunk, he made an ad with his drawings, bought a whole page from all of the newspapers in Japan as a 'Thank You' for his fans/readers using his own money. Watch that show, I don't know the title but it's on NHK every saturday 9:00pm (Manila time).
another cool animation that i found while searching for ani kuri is a stop-motion about a cat named Komaneko. The frame-by-frame animation is so smooth you'd think it's made in 3D!
