Shinkalion Change the World has gathered three musical acts for its ending themes, but the music doesn't stop there—they'll be uniting with the upcoming series's opening theme performers for a new, train-centric music project! It appears that the series, which debuts in Japan on April 7 , is lining up several ending themes in advance. The show's theme songs will be released under the banner of UTA-rail♪ Project: a group of four artists and bands creating new songs inspired by actual Shinkansen trains. As previously announced , the opening theme will be performed by GRe4N Boyz (who recently announced their name change from GReeeeN). The four-person group, which formed in 2002, wrote "Senkou Hayabusa" based on the iconic Hayabusa train. Rounding out UTA-rail♪ Project are up-and-coming singer-songwriter meiyo, legendary rock group The Alfee, and pop star graduate Sayaka Yamamoto.

After the massive critical and commercial success of “A Silent Voice” (2016), it seemed like director Naoko Yamada could do no wrong and was poised for huge things. It may have been strange for some then that her next directorial project would be tied to the “Sound! Euphonium” anime series, which Yamada had previously worked on as series unit director under Tatsuya Ishihara. It could almost be seen as a regression, as Yamada's first two features, “K-on! The Movie” (2011) and “Tamako Love Story” (2014), were also based on pre-existing anime series. Yet whether a fan of “Sound! Euphonium” or not, “Liz and the Blue Bird” (2018) is a constant delight and could well be Yamada's masterpiece.

Considering the ignorant comments we read throughout the web (to say the least) after the release of “Monster”, we decided to take a vote regarding the ranking of the movies of the Japanese, in order to come up with an informed ‘top 16'. The only condition was for the people who vote to have watched at least 10 films by the director, which resulted in the following Amp members voting: Panos Kotzathanasis, Rouven Linnarz, Andrew Thayne, Tobiasz Dunin, Sean Barry, Adriana Rosati and Lukasz Mankowski. The result, which includes his 16 fiction features but not his documentaries, is as follows.
16. Distance (2001)
Koreeda directs a film filled with subtle melancholy, as he tries to present the reasons people join cults and commit horrendous attacks. Through flashbacks and dialogue, he depicts the alienation and emotional isolation the perpetrators had from their families as they succumbed to the cult's dogma. However, his efforts do not prove very fruitful,...

After watching the previous episodes of Love Like a K-drama, I said I felt a little invested in the show because I was starting to feel for some of the cast members. After seeing the latest episodes, I’m taking that statement back. It almost seems as if, just to add more drama, the showrunners decided to pick a certain couple for the episode, trying to force everyone’s favorite ship to sail (they really were my favorites Tt). Until now, the show has been progressing slowly with little to no drama. This time around, things are heating up, and people are slowly starting to lose their cool. I suppose this is the reason most people watch reality TV—the “drama,” but in these last two episodes, it really comes across as forced.

“High schooler Nozomi Koiwa wakes up and discovers she's lost her memories…and a whole lot of height. Now the size of a soda can, she flees from a feline assault into the disgusting den of Yume Okubo, a drunken shut-in Neet who's terrified of people and hasn't been outside for months. Between falling beer cans and deadly insect traps, Nozomi survives long enough to convince the airheaded Yume that she's a figment of her imagination who's come to save her from hitting rock bottom…all while investigating how she ended up funsized. But despite their differences—height, brains, and otherwise—each half of this quirky combo might just be what the other needs!” (Kodansha)
