A press conference was held yesterday to announce the upcoming toku show Kamen Rider Kiva (仮面ライダーキバ). Kiva is the eighteenth installment in the popular Kamen Rider Series produced by Toei Company and Ishinomori Productions.

As I mentioned before, Seto Kouji (TeniPuri myu, Happy Boys, Tonari no 801-chan) will be Kurenai Wataru (or Kiva).

More of the announced cast:
◆ Takeda Kouhei (HanaKimi, 7cheers!, Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata) as Kurenai Otoya
◆ Keisuke Kato (HanaKimi, Happy Boys, 7cheers!, Takumi-kun series) as Nago Keisuke (or the second rider)
◆ Yanagisawa Nana as Aso Megumi
◆ Takahashi Yuu as Aso Yuri
◆ Kumai Kouhei (D-Stage/Shinsengumi/, Guren Onna, Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata) as Elitate Kengo

But what’s more interesting is that Sugita Tomokazu (yes, Kyon XD) will be Kivat-bat the 3rd (I mean the voice of ^^)

Also, it was announced that the LUNA SEA’s ex-members band Tourbillon will sing the theme song “Break the Chain”.

The show premieres on January 27, 2008 (a week after the end of currently aired Kamen Rider Den-O).

EDIT: Btw, you can find a 14 sec. promo in our download section < here > and high-quality 2nd promo [which aired on January 20] < here >! ^^

Itazura na Kiss anime! ^^

01/11/2008 02:50 PM anime-series

Kaoru Tada’s classic shoujo manga Itazura na Kiss (Naughty/Teasing Kiss) will become an animated TV series. An official site is now opened and it says that the anime will premiere on Japanese tеlevision in April. ^^

The 23-volume unfinished manga has already been adapted as a television drama series in Japan (1996) and another drama series in Taiwan under the name It Started with a Kiss (2005). The 2005 Taiwanese version was popular enough that it was later reversed imported onto Japanese television and continued in a sequel series that premiered in Taiwan just last month.
