   Good Days and Bad Days...
I have some good news for Linkin Park fans and Inuyasha fans [in the USA]. But I have bad news for Furuba [Fruits Basket] fans...well, at least those who love the music. I'll start with Linkin Park.

Quoted from Animerica July Issue:

Linkin Park Goes GONZO

And here's a little something for the 5 or 6 of you who don't listen to J-POP [and hope for all of us that a decent anime video set to Linkin Park has finally been made]. Rock/Rap group Linkin Park have grabbedonto the anime bandwagon and featured anime in the new video for their song, "Breaking the Habit" off their 2003 album Meteora.

Linkin Park's turntablist and sampler Joeseph Hahn concieved the song's video as he had for several previous songs including "Somewhere I Belong" and "Point of Authority". Up-and-Coming character designer Kazuto Nakazawa oversaw GONZO Digimation Studio on the rough-hewn animation.

GONZO's animated portions of the video were mixed in with live action footage shot in LA. In addition to featuring animated performance shot of the band members, the 'Breaking the Habit" video includes a storyline based on the song's self-examining lyrics.

[Edited for Space]

And in keeping with Tokyopop's current strategy of publishing anyting remotely invlolves anime or manga, the publisher plans to release a manga of the full storyline of the clip. Tune into MTV2 to catch the anime video.

Now for Inuyasha fans in the US.I found a list that says when and where the exclusive screenings are:

7/22: San Diego,CA
7/24: San Diego,CA
7/31: Baltimore,MD
8/07: Minneapolis,MN
8/13: San Francisco,CA
8/14: Los Angeles,CA
8/21: Atlanta,GA
8/28: Philadelphia,PA
9/04: New York,NY
9/11: Toronto, Canada
9/18: Dallas,TX

Now for the last part...the bad news for FB fans...or the music fans. The songwriter/singer for the songs "For Fruits Basket" and "A Small Prayer", Ritsuko Okazaki, passed away on May 5 @ 1:05 am due to a shock from a blood poisoning illness. She was 44. Also,since her solo album was never completed, the Starchild record label postponed it's orignal June 23 release. She was perhaps the most famous in both Japan and overseas.That's all.
