Happy Fucking Birthday to Me

It's my birthday today, and I'm officially twenty now.

So, what's the big deal?

There is none of any.


Instead, let's just see what else interesting is happening today.

We have another movie from our never grew up 6 years old japanese kindergartener, the famed and beloved mischievous little bastard who have a serious innate tendency to show off his hand drawn little 'elephant' with pants off while dancing around whenever possible.

He is coming out with a new movie today in japan, Odore Amigo (Dance Amigo). Like any good Shinnosuke Nohara flick should be, this movie as expected, will have a lot of Shinchan fooling around (with pants off most of time), a lot of chasing long legged beautiful 'sister', and definitely a lot of dancing, samba dancing, as the movie title suggested. Along with the dancing, there is a special appearance by Korikki, a professional wrestler, but is actually the master of para para dance in disguise, I doubt any of you know him, so I include this video to show you his great dance moves. This guy plus Shinchan is just going to be an insanely great dancefest coming to happen.



Check out the official site, and you know what? Even kindergartener these days keep a blog, Shinchan has one right here. You going to see the photo he takes when visiting kids at other kindergartens to give out movie tickets as presents, Shinchan is the kid with largest head if you find it hard to discern and make out which one is him from all those japanese kids that probably look all the same to you.




To further commemorate what a great day today is, Studio Ghibli also released an extended trailer for their next release 'Gedo Senki' (Tales of Earthsea), schedule for release in Japan in july this year. Its director is Miyazaki Goro this time, instead of his father Miyazaki Hayao. From what I see from the trailer, it resembles the earlier style of Miyazaki Hayao works, and the artwork is still as always, sharp and stylistic, Studio Ghibli's art direction never fails to amaze.

Next, on the same day in history, April 15, year 1912, at around 2:30am, the exact time in the history that a young man named Jack died drowning after a sea vessel named Titanic hit an iceberg, at least he died fictionally in a movie called 'Titanic'. Now, he's back in a sequel movie, aptly named 'Titanic Two The Surface'. Just see the movie trailer below if you don't believe what I've just said.




What a great day today is, and happy birthday to me.
