Kane-chan and yakuza

pezBaba~nzu Style (other cut version). I didn't actually think there could be any more ways for Studio Warp to annoy me, but it has found one.
But on happier news, I come bearing photo.
OH HAI. CAPTION PLZ?
Yet more other news: production of D1 fic may have to be put on halt for now, for my brother-in-law has got me the autobiography of Taoka Kazuo - the 3rd kumichou of Yamaguchi-gumi. Taoka was the kumichou who made Yamaguchi-gumi grow from only 100 or so members to its size today - the largest crime syndicate in the world with some 36000 members. So, yes, gonna be reading that, although the brother only managed to find the first and third volume. I'll try to hunt down vol.2.
AND? He also got me all 2 volumes of "Kabukicho-Annainin" ("A Guide of Kabukicho", though the book's official English name is "A Guide of the Sleepless Town") by Lee XiaoMu. This book has a lot of inside scoop (?) on the operation of a redlight district, which is Very Useful. *glee!* It's all very fascinating stuff. He said he'll be borrowing the two yakuza books I already have. XD
Ah, the books I got from him are all in Chinese. I don't know if they're available in English, sorry. :D;

:o~ Where is the photo from, pray tell? And yeah, I saw the news about Baba's 'new' PB. X3 I wrote up a review of Yagami's 'new' book that came out on the 30th, also.

I just read. :( That's so disappointing. I'm sort of relieved that I didn't buy it... definitely not going to buy, now. No love for Studio Warp. None at all.

Date: 2007-10-03 04:37 pm (UTC)It sucks I blew so much money on Yagami's stuff and couldn't get the preorder stuff for Kane, but I really loved the photos they put in Kanesaki's book, at least. Especially the daisies. I keep telling myself he put them in there for me :3 I mean, cmon. After all my SanaDaisy jokes, HE HAS TO KNOW AND THEY'RE TOTALLY A SECRET PROPOSAL, RITE? ;;
Self-delusion is so lovely.
I'm going to TRY to scan some more pics from Yagami's new book and rip the DVD, since it's really just a short interview. I'd hate to see people blow their money on that when there's so much more worthwhile stuff. I'm not really *SORRY* that I bought it, but it seems like a total rip-off.
The thing that bugs me is that Studio Warp just seems to be like 'hay, we can repackage anything and ppl will buy it lololol let's give them crap now' when the first several photobooks they put out were REALLY nice quality.
Lesigh.
