Saturday's installment of TV Asahi entertainment show "Onegai! Ranking Gold" feature a segment on voice acting, where 100 Japanese voice actors were asked to vote for their favorites in the industry. The overall favorite was Koichi Yamadera (who has a token appearance in every Pocket Monsters movie), while Ikue Ohtani ranked 20th for her portrayal as Pikachu. Megumi Hayashibara also ranked 8th on the list.

The Danish web streamer TV2 Sputnik have streamed the first 52 episodes of Pokémon. If you live in Denmark and wanna support the anime, you can by a membership for TV2 Spuntik for 69 DKK, and then watch the episodes.

Savner du de gamle episoder? Så har TV2 sputnik streamet den første sæson af pokémon på TV2 Sputnik. Prisen er dog 69 DKK, men de er velbetalt hvis man gerne vil genopleve den første sæson på Dansk. Eller hvis man er en af de yngre fans, finde ud af hvordan det hele begyndte. Det drejer sig ikke om Indigo sagaen, men den rigtige sæson 1. Det vil sige de første 52 episoder. Jeg har personligt sendt dem en Email for at finde ud af hvad grunden til dette er, og om de vil streame flere sæsoner. I have Emailed TV2 about some questions to this, and I think that they will mail me back tomorow (Danish time).

Just wanted to let you know about a project that I am working on that I thought you might be interested in.

I am developing an app for the ipad and the iphone that will provide exclusive content relating to the music of anime, games and J-Pop. In addition to providing an archive of exclusive interviews that I have conducted, it will also allow users to listen to BGM that is not available on CD, which I have access to through already existing partnerships and other partnerships currently in the works. At this time, there are 3 different anime for which I have access to special BGM. While I do not have any more exclusive Pokémon BGM available at this time, success of this project could pave the way to getting more BGM from Pokémon.

To help get this project off the ground, I have initiated a campaign on Kickstarter:

Anybody contributing a $1 or more would get the app upon successful completion of the Kickstarter project.

Best,
SeanBird
