LUNA SEA begins mystery countdown
Tue, August 14, 2007 (3:44am EDT)
Rock band LUNA SEA seems to have a surprise in store for fans. The group's official site has been updated with an image reading "God Blessed You." Clicking on the image leads to another site, which displays a moon and a number, which has been counting down daily. The countdown ends on August 28, the date of the upcoming lunar eclipse.
No one knows yet what the day will bring for LUNA SEA fans, though some are speculating about the possibility of the band reuniting.

Tetsuya Nakashima directs short movie for PS3 game
Tue, August 14, 2007 (4:29am EDT)
Director Tetsuya Nakashima ("Memories of Matsuko," "Kamikaze Girls") has created a short movie for the Playstation 3 game, "Boku no Natsuyasumi 3."
The "Boku no Natsuyasumi" series revolves around a young boy spending his summer vacation in the countryside, allowing players to relive the simple pleasures of childhood.
Nakashima's movie, titled "Ano Natsu ni" and lasting less than two minutes, takes a rather dark approach to the concept. Hirofumi Arai plays a thuggish man who sends his woman (Tsugumi) into tears, and as he runs from the apartment, a gangster (Susumu Terajima) shows up to stab him with a knife. Meanwhile, voice-overs by the three of them think back upon their youthful summers, wishing to God that they could return to those days.
The clip (with some "making of" scenes) can be seen on a special website for the game (the second video on the right side).
