This isn't the right topic for that discussion. Start one for MIDNIGHT EAGLE.

No sweat — I've had my share of bad links, too!

Here's some more news of PR events for the film opening in less than two weeks:

According to the official live-action YAMATO website, famed Anison, Isao Sasaki (who sang the original theme songs for the first YAMATO TV series and many of its sequels) is going to sing on November 28th (Japan time) at the Akasaka Sacas in Tokyo! This is the opening event for the special exhibit of original props and costumes from the upcoming movie, as well as the unveiling of a giant, 49-foot, laser-firing Yamato — the centerpiece of the exhibit (listed in the previous posts).

During the opening event, Isao Sasaki will be joined on stage by Director Takashi Yamazaki and... ANALYZER (the robot from the film) himself!

This event is limited to 500 attendees. Drawn at random, 250 winners will receive a pair of tickets to this opening gala. All entries must be submitted by this coming Monday, November 22nd (Japan Time) to be eligible:
