The popular male-group “NEWS” (North East West South) is the original performer of the said CM. Exhibiting their killer moves in the short video, MAD artists could not resist not making their own versions and enlighten us with our favorite characters.

Anime-goers and Japanese enthusiasts that are learning Japanese should not miss this great extension for Google Chrome. Rikaikun, a dictionary extension for Google Chrome which is a conversion/counterpart from the popular FireFox extension Rikaichan. Similar to Rikaichan’s functions, when enabled hovering the mouse on Japanese text would pop out a tooltip which has the translation and hiragana pronunciation of the text. By hitting the shift/enter button, more information of the Kanji will be presented.

More details about Rikaikun on the developer’s website, and you can read more about Rikaichan here.

Have you ever wanted to make those videos you see on Youtube and NicoNicoDouga about dancing 3D Vocaloids, Touhou, Utau, Idolm@sters and many more? I introduce to you MikuMikuDance, it is a software that enables you to import 3D model files in PMD format and lets you control movements and and camera sequences easy and simple. You can also lip-sync the characters to any song that you use for your video manually or by using the VSQ file from the Vocaloid software.

My first test of MikuMikuDance with Hakurei Reimu model and static JPEG Background. No dynamic camera angles, no lighting effects, just plain model and motion test for future productions. The background of the video is only a picture I took from my desk, I just estimated the angle for the 3d video.

Finally, Ichiro-Style has achieved its 100th post milestone. Since its inception from February, Ichiro-Style went through all the troubles from building a web page and setting up a server. There was one instance where the worst case scenario has transpired, the website got deleted without having back-ups and had almost zero chance of recovery (it’s a good thing that google is our friend), but this did not seem to stop Ichiro-Style, it even made us grow and improve (as you can see from the recent change from the theme). But all this hardships didn’t come to fruition without our beloved readers and friends (Special mention to Sankaku Complex and its constituents.) that linked us here.
