		<description><![CDATA[While I used to buy manga when I first started this anime-craze &#8211; but not anymore now. And it looks like Manga isn&#8217;t a big hit in the US. Head of Square Enix’s anime and manga publishing arm, 田口浩司 / Kouji Taguchi, has given what he sees as the reasons why manga sales in the US are still dwarfed by Japanese sales.
Square Enix is responsible for Saki and Fullmetal Alchemist by the way.

Speaking in an interview given at the recent “CoFesta” (Japan International Contents Festival), he replied:

		<description><![CDATA[Previously the biggest Dutch retailer is refusing to stock on the PSPgo. Now looks like UK retailers are sending a message to Sony with their &#8220;cheap&#8221; PSPgo pricing?

According to a report from Eurogamer, at least four retailers in the region are asking less than the £224 suggested retail price. Amazon UK, HMV, Game and Play are playing with the PSPgo&#8217;s built-in wiggle room pricing, asking £199 for the portable. Is that a reaction to slow sales?
I agree that the PSPgo is priced somewhat expensive, the plus side is the availability ...]]></description>

And today, we have the Wii getting a price cut too. It seems that everything is getting a price cut ^_^&#8221;

The price cut will take place in US and Japan. In the US, the price cut will take effect from 27 September, 2009. The console will be selling at a new retail price of ...]]></description>

Now it&#8217;s possible with a Helicopter ride, or the new Narita Express Train! Fuji TV compares the two different rides as seen in the video below:

The helicopter flight takes 30 minutes and has nice leather seats with interior decoration by Hermes. A one-way ticket costs 75,000 yen (but a special launch price of 57,000 yen will be in effect until the end of this year).
The new Narita Express NEX E259 trains begin service on October 1st. The trip between Tokyo and the airport ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we all know not a lot of people support the anime industry one way or another, as a result, the anime DVD and Blu-ray sales decreased by 12% and the market has been having a pessimistic prospect for the industry.

According to the report of Japan Video Software Association (JVA), the total sales of the anime DVD and Blu-ray in the first half of fiscal year 2009 increased by 2.3% compared to those of the last year.

Blu-ray sales definitely increase a lot this year. Could be due to the fact ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 1/1 scale Gundam might not be there anymore, but a 30cm model of the life-sized Gundam is available.

The statue has a weight of 4 kilograms(wow!) and is 30cm tall.
Out Spring 2010, yours for 81,900 yen. You can buy around 9-10 1/8 scale figurines with the money.. The cost of this statue is definitely huge, even though it&#8217;s a miniature model T_T. I wonder what it is made of? That it could actually weigh up to 4 kg?
