Renato Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I think over that person. Who's it? It's the head of the company. The implication is that it's Big West real-life chief Ohnishi-san's alter-ego. So if you look at the website carefully, you see that its mostly a big in-joke. The year is set to 2062 and the idea is that there is a company trying to organize the 30th anniversary celebrations. Even the photograph that they use for the office is in actual fact a photo of the building where the BigWest office is in Tokyo. And the other "staff" are kind of spitting images of BW employees. So they're just having a bit of fun... EDIT -- Just to clarify, yes, the head of the company is female. She is the daughter of Yoshimasa Ohnishi, the founder (I'm sure you've seen his name in the English credits of MacPlus and MacII). Edited January 9, 2012 by Renato Quote

Tochiro Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Finally managed to find a copy of the Tsutaya only 999yen Mari Iijima best of album. This is what the cover looks like, if anyone else has been trying to track it down: Quote

This is what the cover looks like, if anyone else has been trying to track it down: Trivia time: That cover is a scan from older published photos -- the record company threw away all of the old materials, so even if there were unreleased promo shots (which there must have been), they're all gone now. Oh Japan and your disposable culture. Quote

MacrossCN Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) まずは簡単に ・創刊号は特製バインダー付で290円（笑） →デアゴスティーニ製です ・バインダーの絵はマクロス仁王立ちの後ろに各種機体が飛んでる ・本誌表紙はミンメイ・ランカ・シェリル ・表紙の号数表示横のロゴが「30th ANIVERSARY MACROSS」になってる ・内容は旧マクロスクロニクルの大幅加筆改訂版との記載あり ・刊行サイクル・休刊の可能性ありとの記載あり （↑デアゴスティーニの本には基本的に記載されているのかも？） ・刊行予定は80号まで ・で、内容はサヨナラノツバサまでの予定 ・河森監督「30周年を迎えました」 ←新規コメント？ ・コンプリート特典はピンズ8種 ・次号刊行は1/31（創刊号は合併号） って感じです。（実は旧マクロスクロニクル持ってない…） さすがに画像うpはまずいよな… NEW Macross Chronicle Edited January 20, 2012 by MacrossCN Quote

sketchley Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 This is odd... there's nothing on the net indicating anything about it, aside from this: http://www.7netshopping.jp/magazine/detail/-/accd/1200602173 which indicates: a) Hiroshima City Edition b) released January 16th Quote
sketchley Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 WHERE can I buy that? Right now? No where. It's not even being listed on the DeAGOSTINI home page! Quote

Anyways, discuss in the Chronicle thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32805 Yah...I'm confused. Quote

No. Cuz some member(s) seem to find stuff before the rest of us do and don't wanna translate it into something the rest of us can read. Quote
