Today’s update just basically announces that no, I’m not dead yet, nor have I (completely) forgotten about this site. I’ve also added a link to Fujishima World at the links page as part of a link exchange. I also got a couple of new Full Throttle models and the new card game last month - I’ll take pictures and post it on my next update.

          Given that we had been introduced to two new police officers in this ep, the Bokuto page and the Police Officers list has been updated to include Takano Kaori and Fujieda Sakura. The Song List had also been updated to include the insert song from this ep.

          The Bokuto Police Station page also had some minor changes.

          Anyway, after a loooong delay, I’ve finally uploaded the synopsis of Episode 13 at the Full Throttle page. As expected, the Full Throttle in Passing page was also updated to remove this episode from the entries inside.

          I can’t wait until I actually update the Full Throttle in Passing page again with a new entry instead of gradually taking episodes out as I go along with my synopsis. Only a few more weeks to go before I receive the last Full Throttle DVD and witness the 24th episode! (goes off in excitement)

          The problem was eventually resolved late today, but no thanks to that, we’re a little dry on updates this past weekend. I’m sad to say that I won’t be around this coming weekend either - I need to pay a visit to friends I haven’t seen since my two months absence… otherwise there will be hell to pay! (^^;

          Anyway, I’ll see you guys on another update!

          Well, to be honest, this isn’t really much of an update - to make a long story short, I had to buy a new computer when I got back from my business trip. Things have only recently started to settle down. But I did this update anyway, just so you guys know that I’m still alive!

          Moving on, I have uploaded a new picture at the Movie Realism page, comparing the map Tokuno-san used to brief his colleagues about the illegal weapons deal, with that of a map I’ve taken from Google Maps. As to why I’ve never thought of this before, I have no idea. Probably because I never used Google Maps until I left for Europe…? (*^^*)

          To those who wrote to me while I had been away, I’ll get to your letters as soon as I can!

          Remember when I mentioned that we may have 24 episodes? Well, it’s now true! The list of episodes for the last DVD of Full Throttle in Amazon Japan contains the title and the short synopsis for the DVD-only episode 24!

          The title can be found at the Full Throttle page.

          I’ll be stuck here for another two weeks… so hopefully I’ll be able to do some real updates by end of June! Ja!

          I’ve mentioned a few weeks back that I would be sent to Germany for two months. That has been arranged, and I’ll be leaving in two days. That’s the reason why I wasn’t able to do any updates last weekend - too many things to take care of (This message is actually one of them… heh).

          During the time that I’m gone, I’m sorry to say that I won’t be able to do any updates, as this is a business trip and I won’t be carrying any laptops that I can use for casual purposes. I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to go online for casual purposes. (^^; If I do, though, the most I’ll be able to do is fix the rather short introductions in some pages of this site that I’m rather irked with. Else, I’m afraid you won’t be hearing from me for quite a while…

          Whatever happens, see you all again (hopefully) in two months!

          Today’s update is centered on the Music page. Yep, I finally received my copy of the “5-Disc All Composition Nostalgia” compilation and the Go! Go! soundtrack. And I couldn’t be any happier! Well, except when episode 22 was shown a few weeks ago… hehe!

          The two CDs had been added into the CD List, and the Song List was updated as I’ve finally confirmed what the insert song for File 22 of Full Throttle was. I also made some corrections (I wasn’t aware that Nakajima’s “Kimi no Egao” was actually “Dai Folk”), made possible thanks to the wonderful 5-disc compilation.

          Now if they could also come up with a compilation for all the CD drama tracks that also came out, I will no longer have to hunt for the older soundtracks that I don’t have yet. (*^^*)

          The long summary of File 12 has been uploaded at the Full Throttle page. Subsequently, the Full Throttle in Passing page had been updated to remove this file and to add the short summary for Full Throttle’s extra episode (File 23). Which was utterly hilarious, by the way. (*^^*)

          Despite the lack of the Go! Go! soundtrack, I updated the song list to include yet another familiar insert song that was played in File 23. Once again there were two insert songs, the one I’m not familiar with not credited (although I have some idea what it is… still though, it could wait).

          The quest to complete the Other Roles list continues. This time I tried to add all the remaining characters in Full Throttle (with names/codenames) that I haven’t put in yet, so be wary of spoilers. I also had to move Imoto from the Keishichou Headquarters page to the Suspects list as a consequence of adding one character (besides, Imoto is no longer a police officer anyway…). And since we’re somewhat at the topic, the Bokuto page received a minor update by way of adding Neganebashi’s and Samejima’s seiyuus.

          Lastly, the Chronology page has been updated to indicate the date when the final Full Throttle episode came out. I’ll also now have to come up with a more proper introduction at the Full Throttle page instead of how it currently looks… but anyway…

          Yes, sadly, all great things must come to an end.

          But is it really over?

          A quick glance at the Official Website has shown that the Miyuki Box that is supposedly included with the fifth DVD is meant to contain DVDs 5 to 9. Yes, nine. Given that the DVDs contain up to three episodes each, we should only have up to eight DVDs at most, with room for one more episode if they ever wished to put the number up to 24 instead of the current 23. But… nine DVDs? Either this is a typo; future DVDs only contains two episodes each; the extra disc contains bonus content by way of interviews and such; or (cross your fingers) more episodes. Who knows? We’ll just have to wait and see!

          (Edit) Yep, it’s a typo. Awww, too bad. That got my hopes up a little. :XD:
