nger Namie Amuro Turned into Tatsunoko Character
Gatchaman anime studio's design put on Coke zero cans, cookies, phone screens
Not-So-Daily Link of the Day: The famed anime studio Tatsunoko Production has launched a project to turn singer Namie Amuro into a "Tatsunoko-esque," "anime-like" character. The collaborative project's illustrations will adorn items that will be sold during Amuro's latest concert tour, and they will also be used for mobile phone content. The studio collaborated with Amuro's talent agency, Vision Factory, on the "Amuro Meets Tatsunoko!" project.
Starting on Thursday, the "Namie Amuro Past < Future Tour 2010" event venders and Vision Factory's website are selling 12-packs of "Namie Amuro Original Coca-Cola zero" and "Tatsunoko Production x Namie Amuro Collabo-Cookie" sets. Starting next month, Vision Factory's official mobile website will also release a "kisekae" (customization or literally, "dress-up") kit. With the digital kisekae kit, users can put the character on their phones' standby screens, menu screens, and incoming-call screens.
Tatsunoko created Gatchaman, Yatterman, Hutch, the Honeybee, and many other classic television anime series. Another popular anime studio, Sunrise, had worked with Kamikaze Douga and Telecom Animation Film to animate Amuro in the 2009 music video for the "Defend Love" single from her Past < Future album. In the video, Namie Amuro meets another Amuro — Amuro Ray, the main character of the Mobile Suit Gundam anime franchise. Kamikaze Douga, Sunrise Ogikubo Studio, and Studio Jack animated an earlier music video for her "Dr." song.

2nd Man Arrested for Uploading Anime via Perfect Dark
Big Windup! allegedly shared with software that promised better user anonymity
The Sports Nippon newspaper reports that Kyoto's High-Tech Crime Task Force has arrested a 43-year-old self-employed man named Noriaki Matsumoto on Thursday for allegedly uploading anime online, without the copyright holders' permission, using the Perfect Dark file-sharing software. Other people have been arrested for uploading anime online, but Matsumoto is only the second known person arrested for using Perfect Dark, a "next-generation" program which was intended to maintain its users' anonymity better than its predecessors. (The Perfect Dark file-sharing program has no relation to the Nintendo 64/Xbox Live Arcade game of the same name.)
According to the High-Tech Crime Task Force, the Okayama police, and the Saga police, the Osaka-based suspect uploaded about a thousand files, including anime. In particular, Matsumoto is suspected of distributing the Ookiku Furikabutte (Big Windup!) television anime from his personal computer at home on May 14. According to the Kyoto police, the suspect admitted that he thought he would not get caught because he was using Perfect Dark. Takayuki Marubashi, a 37-year resident of the town of Kamisato northwest of Tokyo, was arrested in January as the first suspect accused of using Perfect Dark to upload anime (specifically, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood).
People Arrested for Using Earlier Share Program
Last November, police in Japan arrested 11 people for allegedly sharing films, music, anime, games, and other content using an earlier program called Share. The uploaded anime reportedly included Ranma ½, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Dragon Ball Kai, Fresh Precure!, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Lucky Star. The first three people accused of using the Share file-sharing program were arrested in May of 2008 in three different prefectures. These three suspects reportedly shared anime from the Gundam franchise.
History of Winny, Share, and Perfect Dark
An even earlier peer-to-peer file-sharing software called Winny was developed in 2002 by a then anonymous computer engineering research assistant known as "47-shi" ("Mr. 47"). The software promised anonymity for its users, but the High-Tech Crime Task Force found flaws in its integrated forum feature. After two users were arrested for sharing copyrighted material using Winny in 2003, the developer was identified as Isamu Kaneko of the University of Tokyo and was also arrested. He was convicted and sentenced with a 1.5-million-yen (about US$12,000) fine, but was then acquitted last October.
During Kaneko's arrest and trial, another anonymous developer created the Share program which promised better protection of users' anonymity on Winny's file-sharing network. Since security researchers also found flaws in Share in 2006, other successor applications such as Perfect Dark have been developed.
Japan's Copyright Law prohibits unauthorized uploaders but expressly allowed people to download for private use until this year. Last June, the Japanese parliament passed an amendment that will make it illegal to knowingly download copyrighted material without authorization for the first time. The new law went into effect on January 1, 2010.
The Japanese network security firm NetAgent announced last year that it was able to decrypt Perfect Dark's security and thus be able to compromise the anonymity of the network.
GetBackers' Rando Ayamine Takes Hiatus to Recuperate
Depression cited for missing Oniwaka to Ushiwaka: Edge of the World's deadline
GetBackers manga artist Rando Ayamine wrote a blog post on Tuesday to explain why Oniwaka to Ushiwaka: Edge of the World, his current manga with GetBackers co-creator Yuya Aoki, did not appear in Wednesday's issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. According to Ayamine, he was unable to turn in the latest manga installment's draft since he had gone through "major depression." He is now convalescing, but he did not specify when the manga will return. He apologized to his readers who were waiting for his story to continue.
Oniwaka to Ushiwaka: Edge of the World launched in April in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, the same magazine that ran Ayamine and Aoki's GetBackers manga. The story of the new manga is set during the late Heian era eight centuries ago, when the Taira samurai clan held power and just before the rise of the shogunate in Japan. This historical fantasy re-imagines the adventures of the real-life samurai leader Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwaka) and his loyal warrior monk MusashibÅ Benkei (Oniwaka).
Yamato, Hello Kitty Mark 36th Birthday with KimuTaku
Sanrio Puroland theme park, battlesuited Kitty to host Yamato promo show
Not-So-Daily Link of the Day II: The Space Battleship Yamato anime franchise and Sanrio's Hello Kitty character will celebrate their shared 36th birthday this year with a "Hello Kitty to Daniel no Eiga Daisuki!! ~Space Battleship Yamato yori~" (Hello Kitty and Daniel Love Films!! From Space Battleship Yamato) show at Tokyo's Sanrio Puroland theme park. Yamato premiered in Japan in 1974, the same year that Hello Kitty was "born." Yamato will resurface on December 1 as a live-action film starring SMAP band member Takuya Kimura ("KimuTaku").
The promotional show will feature Hello Kitty herself, dressed in the same battlesuit that Kimura and the other actors playing the Yamato battleship's crew members wear in the film. The show will run from August 1 to August 31 at the theme park. Starting on July 3, 50,000 people will receive limited-edition mobile accessory straps with the battlesuit-wearing Hello Kitty and other characters when they buy advance tickets for the film.
