belt-it-until-it-breaks attitude they have towards building and racing cars the sense of community that encourages the wild and ingenious the badass names they give their creations I recently met up with lifelong ‘rodder Kaoru Koshimizu to check out his Evolution Ray a C1 Chevrolet Corvette with a fully reworked powertrain and running gear Tucked away in a suburban area of Yokohama Koshimizu-san runs a bar and a taiyaki shop alongside his automotive interests At the bottom of the hill is his first garage-turned-workshop which houses Koshimizu-san’s original-condition C2 Stingray you’ll find delicious fish-shaped sweets filled with sweet red beans The aircraft hangar-style kit was shipped over from the States and built by Koshimizu-san himself Koshimizu-san’s first car – a 1969 C3 Corvette that he purchased when he was just 20 – is parked next to the C1 He can’t explain where the desire to drive an American car came from I guess for a kid in Japan during the 1970s and ’80s a Corvette was the AC/DC to a Nissan Fairlady’s Air Supply Inspired by the race cars built by Greenwood Corvettes and the like Koshimizu-san has widened the C3 with a modified kit from the US to accommodate 13-inch Halibrand wheels in the rear It’s powered by a 427ci big block V8 with four Weber carbs mated to a Doug Nash 4+1 transmission we couldn’t terrorise the neighbourhood in it This is what I’d come to see: Koshimizu-san’s C1 Corvette It’s the grandfather of two-seater American sports coupes right up to the current twin-turbo 1,064hp ZR1 fibreglass-bodied C1 Corvettes were about as sporty as a sloth in a swimming pool Their anaemic 235ci straight-six engines were far from exciting and rudimentary drum brakes made them hard to stop quickly from speed Handling was nothing to write home about either no surprise considering the driveline was a parts bin collection from various passenger cars a 265ci small block V8 and 3-speed manual transmission saved the Corvette from extinction but it wasn’t until ’65 that disc brakes became standard Petite proportions and delicate details like the rear fins made its shortcomings somewhat forgivable especially after the newer models had redeemed the Corvette name you’re a slightly eccentric interior designer who runs a bar and a taiyaki shop a hydraulically operated clamshell front end and a boot with an electric motor might be a nice little project The C1’s bonnet originally hinged forwards but Koshimizu-san has taken that further and turned the whole front end of the car’s fibreglass body into a single piece revealing the first of many performance upgrades for the Evolution Ray Replacing the rear leaf springs and solid axle is a fully custom pushrod suspension system Because the C1 never had mounting points for independent suspension in the rear Koshimizu-san was able to start with a blank slate He also wanted to create some kind of party piece in the rear to match the party in the front The front end features a custom-mounted C3 chassis frame with bespoke control arms The new suspension components would have little meaning if left to their own devices so Koshimizu-san has tied the front and rear together with a hidden roll bar and the clamshell opens to reveal a 383ci big block Chevy V8 fed by twin Demon 650cfm carbs that sends 500hp to a Richmond 5-speed transmission and C3 diff slung right down onto the floorplan with the chopped glass windshield not shielding any of the wind I don’t think this car is winning any prizes on any autocross days The engine torque makes the car feel like it’s ripping itself apart at even the lightest of throttle the raw visceral energy of hot rodding – living on the edge and enjoying every oil-soaked minute of it More stories from Japan on Speedhunters even though I have never been interested at all in C1s I really enjoy when you guys document the place the car lives in as well as the cars themselves His place is definitely a cool hang out spot Two minor technical nitpicks:1) The 265 small block Chevy came out in 1955 It grew to 283 cubic inches in 1957.2) The 383 is still a small block Chevy It's commonly called a "stroker"; just a 350 block bored 0.030" with a 3.750" stroke crankshaft from a 400 small block Chevy Someone recently said the journalists here don’t know their stuff They don’t know anything about engines or classifications When your audience is correcting you you should be cutting them a check or firing your staff Man this has to be the baddest C1 I have ever seen what a car rolled into a Japanese burrito of Route 66 and styles on all the mooneyes like Rob Roy The C3 steals the show for me though...(heart emoji Speedhunters is an international collective of photographers writers and drivers with a shared passion for uncovering the world's most exciting car culture stories Please enter your search criteria in the form below to find a player Full Listings: Boys' Commits & Girls' Commits Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas, Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information, news and insight around the world by stocking up on easy-to-sell assets such as Treasuries Market players appear overconfident that US policymakers will be able to tame inflation without causing a recession co-head of global markets at Japan’s third-largest lender Flower and Asura anime announced that Ami Koshimizu is joining the voice cast as Konoyono Owari Konoyono is described as an up-and-coming poet popular among young people and she is set to appear in Episode 7 on February 18 You can see some preview images for the episode below You can also watch the preview for the episode:ALSO READ:Flower and Asura Releases Opening and Ending Creditless Video or just Flower and Asura) Japanese manga is written by Ayano Takeda Source: Flower and Asura Official X©Ayano Takeda Shueisha ・Sumomo Hill High School Broadcasting Club a young and upcoming poet who will appear in the anime's seventh episode on February 18 Konoyono Owari's name appears in a poster in the anime's sixth episode as the writer for the recitative play of Shura Saionji SHISHAMO perform the opening theme song "Jibun Kakumei" (My Own Revolution) and Satō performs the ending theme song "Rōrō" (Resonant) a high school girl who lives on the island and holds regular reading sessions for the island's children senses Hana's power to attract people through her reading and invites her to join the club Hana joins the Broadcasting Club and experiences many firsts with the other members Takeda (Sound!

exists a growing opposition among audiences to the concept of ‘risqué’ anime fan service he and his fellow creators “should dare to take on the stigma” and keep including such content in their works RELATED: Disney Plus Japan Exec Admits Anime Industry Making “A Shift Toward More Acceptable Expressions” In Order To Appeal To Wider Audiences Nakashima, who in addition to the Studio Trigger original series is also known for penning such fan-favorite productions as Gurren Lagann, Promare, Kamen Rider W, and Kamen Rider Fourze, offered his thoughts on the titillating topic during a May 2024 interview given alongside series director Hiroyuki Imaishi to Japanese news outlet Febri in reflection of Kill la Kill’s 10th anniversary At one point met with the observation from the outlet’s Shotaro Miya (as machine translated by DeepL) that the production of the over-the-top and bombastic style of the fashion-centric seinen series “was only possible because it was [made] 10 years ago” Imashi confirmed his host’s assessment and admitted we have to think a little more about what we can’t make the exposure of skin,” to which Nakashima added ” I think even I would have to restrain myself from doing a full-body depiction of Mako.” “I don’t think today’s audiences would tolerate a ‘peek into a bathroom’,” he added with a laugh “I would have to make an excuse for it more carefully ‘This person’s life is at stake!’ Like that.” “Wouldn’t it be better to just cut the bath scene?” “if you ask me if the bath peeking scene is interesting after all the logic I put into it I would say it’s not that interesting RELATED: ‘Naruto’ And ‘Bleach’ Anime Studio President Rejects Idea That Anime Should Conform To Western Standards: “If You Make Animation With That In Mind, It Will Become Increasingly Boring” Turning his thoughts to the general discourse surrounding fan service the storied Japanese entertainment writer light-heartedly asserted ‘I don’t understand,’ but we don’t want them to feel unnecessarily uncomfortable people’s immunity will be weakened and they will all die there is a way of thinking that we should dare to take on the stigma and transmit harmful things.” ‘This is what we need to do for the sake of humanity’s immunity’,” he playfully continued but we will die with a stigma for the sake of humanity There is a way to do it with that kind of feeling.” Putting a final bow on their conversation with Miya Imashi ultimately joked back to his Kill la Kill partner I don’t want to perish if I can help it” It should be noted that despite his exaggerated language Nakashima doesn’t actually think fan service is vital to the survival of the human race the storied writer’s joking take is meant to convey the idea that the more artists have to ‘sand off the edges’ of their creations the more boring they will ultimately be – and if that becomes the norm As proven by the currently creatively-bankrupt state of the Western comic book NEXT: ‘Hajime No

launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in August 2019 A novel in the franchise debuted in July 2023 Sources: Mission: Yozakura Family anime's website, Comic Natalie As the Japanese whisky industry marks its centenary former Suntory chief blender Seiichi Koshimizu has co-founded an online salon to share the spirit’s story with the world This promotional feature was created by the Whisky Magazine team in partnership with Japanese Whisky Membership Community “It’s really about sharing the narrative behind the craft of Japanese whisky,” Koshimizu says “There’s a need to increase awareness and be a platform for culture makers.” Members can expect exclusive content interviews with the leading lights in their fields deep dives into the philosophies of blending and access to gatherings – virtual and in-person.With its rich and fascinating history Japanese whisky has won fans all around the world “We developed by learning from Scotch whisky,” he continues “But over time we’ve developed our own culture and ways of drinking – for example That’s what we will centre with our new audience.” Koshimizu is perhaps the only person who could found such a society Japanese whisky wouldn’t be what it is today without him He started his career in Suntory’s research department in 1976 before moving to Yamazaki Distillery in 1985 and becoming a blender in 1991 before being awarded the title of chief blender Emeritus in 2014.Under his watch Suntory has been named ISC Distiller of the Year multiple times Creations including Hibiki 30 Years Old and Yamazaki 12 Years Old have won countless trophies with the latter becoming one of the world’s most sought-after and valuable whiskies Koshimizu himself was inducted into the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame in 2015 becoming the first Japanese recipient of the honour His private creations include the Yamazaki Single Malt Premium Red Edition Genmu a vatting of exquisitely rare Yamazaki parcels from the 1960s and 1980s It sold for a remarkable HK$496,000 (£50,600) at auction.Yet When asked what his biggest achievement has been so far he says: “Making good Japanese whiskey is not about one man I’ve just loved being there.” And now he’s bringing more people into the fold with The Japanese Whisky Membership Community What’s so special about the new Community is that it represents a meeting of minds Those who join will immerse themselves in not just the world of Japanese whisky but how it blends richly into other facets of Japan’s rich and abundant culture too.“We also want to encourage a collaboration between the many aspects of traditional crafts,” Koshimizu continues and wants to share the long tradition of ceramics being used as a spirits drinking vessel.“Ceramic subtly changes the flavour,” he explains ceramic will bring a really different drinking experience.” To this end Koshimizu and the other co-founders have worked together with a traditional Japanese ceramic artisan of Bizen a province famous for its pottery of the same name to create a very special whisky cup that presents an alternative way for enthusiasts to enjoy their favourite spirit it’s indicative of how the Salon will enrich members’ experiences of whisky enjoyment He speaks with a deep passion for the Japanese category It’s about sharing and creating more custodians for the future “We spent about 20 years establishing the reputation of Japanese whisky A central philosophy of the Japanese Whisky Membership Community is preserving the category for the future. To this end, the group will support two vital projects: the preservation of Japanese oak trees and research into the development of lower-alcohol whisky.Known as mizunara Japanese oak has become increasingly celebrated for the flavour it imparts to whisky as distillers all around the world are increasingly using this precious material cooperage-worthy mizunara has become increasingly rare The situation is made more challenging as the trees take at least 200 years to reach maturity “Everyone’s looking for mizunara these days meaning it could be easy to destroy the environment,” Koshimizu explains “Conserving forests is a way of sustainably enjoying the whiskies.” A portion of Japanese Whisky Membership Community fees will be donated to tree-planting initiatives hosted by the local Agriculture and Forestry Promotion Office of Kofu City It takes place in the Yamanashi prefecture which is not only home to the Hakushu Distillery Koshimizu is also pursuing the development of lower-ABV whisky which offers the same flavour and “The basis for starting the project is because I’m getting older,” he shares “I’m not able to drink like I could when I was young But I want the taste and texture.” There will be many others who are excluded from whisky because they don’t drink alcohol for a range of reasons.Fees will also be used to support the work he’s founded in this area with a research institute in Yamanashi Prefecture He notes that there’s no guarantee that studies will be successful – but he says he wants to support it in any way he can paragraph publishing ltd.   Copyright © 2025 all rights reserved.   Website by Acora One BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War showed Shunsui Kyoraku using his Bankai in the latest episode known as the voice of Holo in Spice & Wolf Shunsui’s Kyoraku Zanpakuto is split into halves, Katen and Kyokotsu.

she’s the type of character who’s loved by women as well being able to choose words wisely to avoid hurting others is an important skill in developing and maintaining relationships You’d expect her to have this really mature image Then she goes on to show off her childlike and innocent smiles that are absolutely irresistible (laughs) A decade of hard work── When the anime series was being broadcasted you stated that Holo could not have romantic feelings towards Lawrence the two are sharing their last scenes together as a married couple I thought Lawrence’s life expectancy would be the wall that separates them Holo would maintain her appearance without change and Lawrence would be the only one who continues to age I thought the more pleasant times they shared together the more painful their eventual separation would become I also thought that even if Holo did like Lawrence she wouldn’t take the step forward and approach him about it and the story about their future is also being put together I believed that their future would be filled with difficulties but I wonder if they’ve already decided to simply enjoy their time together and worry about sadness when it arrives and the time they can spend together is only available until it’s all gone Maybe those ideas helped Holo make up her mind about it all She has this special opportunity to live during the same time period as Lawrence so she might as well thoroughly enjoy the happiness that’s available to her I’m sure Lawrence is the one who made her think that way The two of them even have a child now (laughs) ── Holo and Lawrence have gone on to run their own bathhouse Lawrence did mention at the beginning of their story that he wanted to have his own store Koshimizu: I never thought Holo would be able to stay in one place the act of settling down must pose plenty of hardships I’m glad that Holo and her family are now able to find happiness for themselves I want to congratulate her for a decade of hard work Being played by Holo (laughs)── The image of Holo at her memorable wedding has been presented in a brand new figure Koshimizu: I have a bit of a taste for figures and I must say that it looks really well made Figure enthusiasts value the face of the figure a lot It doesn’t matter how you look at this figure Holo’s face looks just like it does in the original illustration I know it’s difficult to transform something that’s two-dimensional into something three-dimensional Koshimizu as she fixes her sights on the figure) Koshimizu: Regardless of which angle you look from an obstacle that’s generally present is is the fact that figures don’t look like the character from certain angles I know this figure was revised based on fan feedback and I think the result shows those efforts very well The feeling of the ears and the airiness of her hair have all been recreated You might think you can see under her skirt but you can’t see it from any angle (laughs) That’s something that’ll really get your heart pumping Koshimizu: Little details like that fit Holo’s character perfectly I’m sure she’s teasing us by leading us to believe that we can see it and then refusing to show it off Koshimizu: It’s a figure of Holo for us to enjoy but it almost feels like we’re the ones being played by her ── The figure also allows us to imagine the position from which Lawrence is watching his bride The grassland base that comes with the figure it great It makes me think about how their wedding must have been held in a beautiful scene of greenery I’ve already come up with plenty of stories about this figure (laughs) Lawrence can only watch Holo from his place but we have the freedom to see her from any angle we want a message to all the fans who have continued to support the Spice and Wolf series Koshimizu: Even after its 10th anniversary the original animation doesn’t feel old at all I think Spice and Wolf is a fantastic series that offers something different as it ages I believe the series never becomes old-fashioned because it is a representation of Holo herself Some fans may have been there since it all began and some may have only learned about the series recently Some may have been children when the series started It doesn’t matter when you started following the series since I believe Holo has the same amount of love and appreciation for everyone I hope the fans will continue to age and mature with the series [Photographer: Hiroaki Aizawa;

Spice and Wolf 10th Anniversary Project: Holo Wedding Dress Ver Quality that even surprises Ami Koshimizu Figure has been released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Spice and Wolf You already had the chance to enjoy it during the photo shoot You took a few pictures with the figure today Koshimizu: I’m not that great with pictures so there were a few moments where I wasn’t sure what to do I’m honored to have such fantastic pictures taken ──You were asking the photographer for instructions the whole time Koshimizu: I was completely stumped by the idea of “freestyling” my poses (laughs) I’m always a little unsure when it comes to photo shoots Koshimizu: The staff members helped me out a lot with their magic… (laughs) Food that looks appetizing enough to actual affect diets ──Since we’re commemorating the 10th anniversary of Spice and Wolf it would be great if you could tell us about your memories of the series the most memorable part of the anime has to be the scene about coins The one where Holo explains how even the same coins can have different values based on factors like credit and how much gold they really contain and I struggled quite a bit as I reviewed them I would get confused with all the names and types of coins there were (laughs) I still remember it like it all happened yesterday Another memorable scene would be the one where Holo trades fur (*1) Lawrence stored the furs he purchased with apples to remove the odors By branding them as special furs that produce floral scents he was able to sell them at much higher prices I remember thinking about how much the smell of furs would change if they were infused with the scent of apples *1: From episode three titled "Wolf and Business Talent" in the first season of the anime claiming that she wants to help cover her expenses ──That scene showed us just how amazing Holo truly is there are also the apples and the potatoes steamed potatoes (*2) used to be mainly for festivals when you eat them together with lots of butter I was able to realize how wonderful they are and I discovered that they taste amazing with salted fish… “Holo there are all these delicious things available now Salted fish are the best!” are among the thoughts that go through my mind when I’m munching on potatoes (laughs) *2: From episode two titled “Wolf and Distant Past” from the first season of the anime Lawrence prepares steamed potatoes for a hungry Holo She was so hungry and ate so quickly that she ended up choking Spice and Wolf continues to influence my diet and what I eat There’s something about the series that gives me cravings for a certain something whenever I start thinking about it Everything that is shown in the series looks so good Honey-dipped peaches and everything else all looked fantastic ──I guess the anime series was filled with what we now often refer to as “foodporn” ──Were there any other things that really made an impression on you Koshimizu: The series wasn’t just about the food - the characters were charming and I liked Diana (Dian Rubens) that Akeno Watanabe voiced as well it was almost certain that she would be a witch I remember wondering what kind of character she actually was she changes the way she presents herself depending on who she’s facing All of this is different when she’s presenting herself to women Holo intentionally shows off her cunning side so it’s like a female battle that she only engages Diana in ──The different ways Holo interacts with other characters was also a notable part of the series there was also that time when Fermi proposed to her the challenge I had to tackle was deciding how I should voice Holo When we were recording the scene where she became emotional and argued with Lawrence I spent a long time thinking about how much emotion I should let her show *3: From episode 3 titled “Wolf and the Gap that Cannot be Filled” in the second season of the anime Fermi Amarti proposes to Holo after falling in love with her at first site Lawrence and Amarti end up in a duel over pyrite sales on credit The enjoyable process of thinking about how to fill the role ──Let me ask you a few questions about the series’ tenth anniversary Please take a look back at the past ten years and tell us how you feel I do remember the Spice and Wolf series as one that started a while ago but I don’t think Spice and Wolf ever gets old Holo looks gorgeous no matter how much time goes by time is certainly affecting how I look… (laughs) Koshimizu: I didn’t completely stop voicing Holo after the anime ended I’ve had quite a few chances to participate as a guest character in various game apps recently I can’t help but wonder how things will turn out since it’s been such a long time I also feel like I can deliver the oiran essence of how Holo speaks much more effectively now Koshimizu: I don’t think I’ve fully mastered it Maybe the oiran way of speaking just fits me better than it did when I was only twenty-something years old (laughs) I guess I was able to experience the fun that aging can offer This isn’t something that’s possible in just any role ──It could be a feeling that is exclusive to actors and actresses who have played the same role for a long time Koshimizu: I think the feeling differs from that of “continuously playing a role for ten years” and “playing the same role for the first time in ten years” When you play a role little by little over a span of ten years the actor or actress experiences the same passage of time as the character does even if the fundamentals of the character don’t change there are still going to be traces of maturation or evolution When you play a role that you had ten years ago again for the first time The character is frozen in time while the actor or actress continues to age The tone and quality of my voice haven’t changed but the amount of experience I have is different since I’ve accumulated ten years of it When that extra experience is shown through how I voice Holo now things become complicated since I don’t know how the audience will react I can find things that I wasn’t capable of doing at the time The decision between keeping everything the way it was before or voicing Holo with the skills I have now is a tough one Koshimizu: I’ve been told before that I’ve gotten the character wrong when I try something new in my voice acting ──That difference might be due to the fact that characters grow in the minds of the audience Koshimizu: It may be due to the so-called “memory adjustments” If actors and actresses can continue playing the same character for ten years they can make gradual changes over time and without anyone noticing the differences but nobody will tell them that they’ve got the character wrong but I enjoy thinking about how I should approach each role things can get pretty rough at times (laughs) Holo came out of nowhere and helped me out ──Tell us how you feel about who you were at the time Koshimizu: The parts that required all of my energy before would probably be challenging even now I’m referring to the adjustments and consideration needed to decide how I should present the character Coming up with a plan that maintains the proper emotional distance between me and the character - and doesn’t go against any part of the scene - isn’t an easy task Will I be able to provide the perfect voice for Holo now ──Holo is a character who shows different sides of herself and I personally have been impressed by how you were able to accurately voice each of those sides since the beginning of the series Koshimizu: The role of Holo always came with numerous options to pursue so I would often struggle when I voiced her the oiran way of speaking itself was a challenge There are opportunities where you can be exposed to the language but it’s not something that people can regularly experience or use for themselves I felt as if Holo was trying to set me free from my troubles when I would observe her and her expressions in the videos we used to check our voice recordings but she would pop out inside my head and help me out at times (laughs) She would assure me that she knows how many options are available and encourage me to just try Holo served as my source of emotional support numerous times and that might be why she has such a lasting impression on me we were able to learn about just how special Holo is to Ms The next part will feature discussions about why people love Holo so much as well as more details about Holo’s charm we are giving away an acrylic keyholder autographed by Ami Koshimizu Spice and Wolf 10th Anniversary Project: Holo Wedding Dress Ver.

According to an article in Forbes Musk was officially declared the richest man in the world as of January 8 with an estimated net worth of around $189 billion USD Musk is also known for causing a commotion on Twitter from time to time with his often poorly thought-out tweets These have even included a number of tweets containing anime- or game-related content he posted a fanart image back in 2019 of the character known as 2B from NieR: Automata When another Twitter user replied and suggested he should give credit to the original artist “I wish people would stop crediting artists on twitter when any fool can find out who the artist was in seconds It’s destroying the medium.” This led to backlash from the online community Another example of his careless Twitter posts occurred in 2018 when he jokingly tweeted that he was “[…] considering taking Tesla private at $420[…]” The fallout resulted in an SEC investigation and a $20 million dollar fine Sachiko Koshimizu is one of nearly 200 idols available in the social network game The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Sachiko is known for her absolute confidence in believing she is the cutest idol of all Sachiko was first introduced on January 13 2012 and is still one of the most popular idols in the game she earned the 12th-place spot in the 9th annual Cinderella Girl General Election 2020年の6月とかの時点で、既にあの幸子のMV画像が南米圏のネットミームで使われてるね。ちなみに1枚目のテキストの意味は「アハハ見て、ミームに怒ってる人がいるよ」らしい。そういう煽り画像ネットミームなのかな。 pic.twitter.com/KeoBZ0S7X9 Elon Musk tweeted an image of Sachiko which includes the caption You’re gonna make it.” He also typed the caption out himself in the tweet but changed the word “king” to “queen.” After seeing his post Japanese Twitter was abuzz with users posting messages such as “So that’s who Sachiko Koshimizu’s producer was,” and “Looks like Bandai Namco Entertainment’s stock went up thanks to this tweet.” イーロンの呟きの画像の方の文言で検索かけたら イリーガルりあむグッズ引っかかったけど これなんのミーム文言なんすかね？https://t.co/R5zgTGAEbv You’re gonna make it,” does not seem to be a major meme Twitter users were also quick to notice that there are very few examples of the image of Sachiko Koshimizu posted by Elon Musk online leading to rumors that he may have created this particular image himself this particular image shows up only a few times and many of those have captions written in Spanish There is one example of the caption “Hey you You’re gonna make it,” being used with an image of Riamu Yumemi on a coffee mug (this is most likely unofficially) but it is more than likely this meme is not a mainstream one Judging from the kinds of posts Elon Musk has made in the past it is hard to imagine him taking a screenshot and editing it himself this very same image seems to have first appeared online toward the end of March of 2020 The screenshot above is from a Facebook post on March 28 2020 by an account known as Weebs and Their Memes The image’s caption and composition match that of the one in Elon Musk’s post exactly Musk also has a history of reposting images created by others without offering any context the existence of the aforementioned coffee mug seems to indicate the caption used in this image is some kind of minor internet meme it’s probably safe to say that Musk’s tweet of Sachiko Koshimizu is a repost [UPDATE 1/13/2021 8:31 PM] Twitter user @dadanpo_imas discovered an even earlier example of this image being used in a Facebook post in November 2019 originating in Mexico Elon Musk has been known to post tweets relating to Japanese anime—Your Name and Neon Genesis Evangelion to name a couple—as well as games. (Nlab/ねとらぼ Article) It is also interesting to note that January 13 is the same day Sachiko Koshimizu was originally implemented as a character in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls The odds of this being a coincidence are quite small so even ignoring the question of whether or not Elon Musk himself plays as Sachiko Koshimizu’s producer in the game it seems quite likely that he is at least familiar with who Sachiko is and what game she is from Who would have imagined such a stir could arise from the world’s richest man crossing paths with that of The Idolmaster Cinderella Girl’s self-proclaimed cutest idol Dynasty Warriors Origins focused on balanced sex-appeal that doesn’t compromise female characters’ roles and backgrounds, says series producer  Japanese NFT game company’s currency crashes after users discover infinite money glitch Shin Megami Tensei artist Kazuma Kaneko says teaching AI to draw like him was more time-consuming than making art from scratch  AUTOMATON WEST is operated by Active Gaming Media Inc.Reproduction in any form or medium without acknowledgment of Active Gaming Media Inc Copyright © 2025 - AUTOMATON WEST / Theme by Creative Themes The visual is part of the "Holo to Megurushiki no Monogatari" (Holo and the Tale of Four Seasons) project which began in August.
