The Investigation Team

Yeah i love Kingdom Hearts and all it series from Kingdom Hearts 1 till KH : 358/2 days
Actually i just start play it at last January. I know the game is released a long ago. First i heard it from my friend, i didn't think it would be an amazing game >_<>Kingdom Hearts II is a collection of various levels (referred to in-game as "worlds") that the player progresses through. As in the first game, Kingdom Hearts II allows the player to travel to locales from various Disney fictions, along with original worlds specifically created for the series. In the first game, Disney-based worlds were primarily derived from the Disney Animated Pictures canon. Kingdom Hearts II introduces worlds that are based on Disney live action films as well. As in the first game, each world varies in appearance and setting, depending on the Disney film on which it is based. The graphics of the world and characters are meant to resemble the artwork style of the environments and characters from their respective Disney films. Each world is disconnected from the others and exists separately; with few exceptions, players travel from one world to another via a Gummi Ship.
Kingdom Hearts II begins one year after Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Sora, Donald, and Goofy have been asleep for the past year to regain their lost memories. Meanwhile, Roxas is trapped in a virtual simulation of Twilight Town created by DiZ so that Roxas, the Nobody of Sora, may merge with his original self to restore Sora's power. This is done as part of DiZ's revenge on Organization XIII. DiZ's plans are threatened when Organization XIII's Nobodies infiltrate the virtual town, but Roxas finally merges with Sora. Sora, Donald, and Goofy wake up in the real Twilight Town and meet King Mickey and Yen Sid, who send them on another journey. Their goal is to find Riku and stop the plans of Organization XIII, who control the Nobodies—the body left over when a heart is turned into a Heartless. Sora also receives a new set of clothes that allow him to fuse with party members to gain special abilities. Afterward, Maleficent is resurrected and joins with Pete to continue her quest for power. And so on.. (you can play the game or read the manga by yourself, but of course the game is the best!)

Now i have finished the game (till xehanort defeated and unending credits goes on) But it still fun to play it again and again. I now have reached level 74 with all form including final form reach level 4. I got all the keys from world that i visit, but i don't have the Ultima weapon nor Fenrir Keyblade. Especially Fenrir is hard to get coz i must fight Sephiroth first, what a FUBAR..

My fave band for January 2009 is FLOW!!
Yeah as you now...

Flow is a five-piece Japanese rock band made up of two vocalists, a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist. The group's base was created in 1993 when brothers Kohshi (elder: vocals) and Take (younger: guitar) began playing together. They formed Flow in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo (vocals), Got's (bass) and Iwasaki (drums; joined in 2000). In 2001, the band released its first maxi single, "Flow #0". The group then released two mini-albums within the same year, both of which took nationwide indie charts by storm. "Okuru Kotoba", Flow's first cover single, was released in January 2003. It remained on the Oricon indie chart for seven consecutive weeks and also hit an impressive #6 on the overall singles chart. In the spring of that year, their first full-scale album Splash!!! debuted at #2. In July 2003, Flow released the single "Blaster" on a major label, Ki/oon Records. In April 2004, they released "Go!!!", which stayed on the Oricon Top 10 Chart for three weeks. In May 2004, Flow released their first major album Game.

A string of singles followed and in July 2005 the band released its third album, Golden Coast. Since the release of Golden Coast, Flow has released two singles with new A-sides, but one of these ("Around the World/Kandata") was a double A-side release. "Colors" is the band's fourth single. The songs "Go!!!" and "Re:member" both served as opening themes to the anime series Naruto. "Days" was the first opening Eureka seven anime, and "Realize" was the opening for the Playstation 2 video games based on the same series. Flow performed live in America for the first time in Dallas, Texas on 2nd September 2006 at Anime Fest which was held at the Hyatt Hotel and Convention center in downtown Dallas. Flow performed "Colors" in 2006, the first opening for Sunrise original series Code Geass:Lelouch of the rebellion. Their song "Answer" is the first opening theme for the live action Japanese drama Tantei Gakuen O. They performed "Night Parade" with the hip-hop band Home Made Kazoku. In February 2008, they released a new single entitled "Arigatō", followed by Persona - Trinity soul's new opening, "Word of the voice" in June 2008. They performed Code Geass: Lelouch of the rebellion R2's second opening theme "World End" released in 2008. Their song "Go!!!" was played at the 2008 summer olympic in the baseball game between Japan and Australia. Amazing isn't it?

I love Flow because of their way to play music, is a little noisy (w/o many distortion) and bring me excitement when i listen to their music. The conclucion is... Flow is awesome man!!

My fave song is "Days" for Eureka Seven opening, "Remember" for Naruto opening, "Colors" for Code Geass:Lelouch of the rebellion opening and "Dream Express" from The Best: Single Collection (20th December 2006)

Takeshi Obata (小畑 健, Obata Takeshi, born February 11, 1969 in Niigata, Niigata Perfecture) is a Japanese Mangaka. He generally works as the artist in collaboration with a writer. He has also mentored several mangaka, including Kentaro yabuki of Black cat, Nobuhiro Watsuki of Ruroni Kenshin, Tsugumi Ohba of Death Note, and Yusuke Murata of Eyeshield 21.
He originally became noticed in 1985 when he took a prize in the Tezuka Award (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tezuka_Award) for his one shot 500 Kōnen no Kaiwa. Then he join the Weekly Shonen Jump, he mentored under Makoto Niwano (creator of Bomber Girl). After several years of difficulty to finding a hit, Obata began collaborating with other writers on their stories. He finally began the series that established his name when he teamed with Yumi Hotta on Hikaru no Go starting in 1998. He is most well-known as the artist of Hikaru no Go, for which he received the Shogakukan Manga Award (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogakukan_Manga_Award) in 2000 and the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tezuka_Osamu_Cultural_Prize) in 2003, and Death Note.

I like his drawings not only for the detail, but in his penchant for fashion. The characters he draws often wear stylish clothes and trendy items like the latest fashionable scarf, tie or handbag. Especially his drawings on Death Note manga with Tsugumi Ohba. And i think the best collaboration is when he's making the drawings of Death Note. Coz Death Note is a great success, even it has been serialized in Anime. Then there're novel version of Death Note. The last is the Video Games (for Nintendo DS) and the Live Action Film that has a great hits around the world.

In the fall of 2007, he drew a short story, Hello Baby, with writer Masanori Morita, which appeared in Jump Square. This was followed by a one-shot manga with Nisio Isin. A new series with Tsugumi Ohba, Bakuman (my favorite manga too) began in August, 2008. In addition to his manga work, he has also done character design work for the video game Castlevania Judgement.

As for me, the best drawings and story collaboration is when he make Death Note and Bakuman. The best one-shot stories is Uroboe Uroboros and Hello Baby.

Yep, i'm reading Fairy Tail manga now. Fairy Tail (フェアリーテイル, Fearī Teiru) is a manga series by Hiro Mashima. You know him, don't you? he's the creator of Rave manga. It has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine since August 23, 2006 and it's still ongoing till now. The individual chapters are being collected and published in tankobon (see wikipedia.org/wiki/tankobon) volumes. Till October 2008 there are 12 volumes released. The series is licensed for an English language release in North America by Del Rey Manga which began releasing the individual volumes on March 25, 2008.

The series follow the adventures of young sorcerers, Lucy Hearthphilia who travels to the land of Fiore to join the magical Fairy Tail Guild. Along the way, she meets Natsu Dragonil, a young boy who is looking for a dragon named Igneel. Shortly after their meeting, Lucy is abducted by Bora of Prominence, who was posing as Salamander of Fairy Tail, to be sold as a slave. Natsu rescues her and reveals that he is the Salamander and a true member of Fairy Tail Guild. He offers her membership into the guild, which she accepts, and they become a team performing various missions for the Fairy Tail guild. Then the story begin here...

First, i'm reading this manga just for killing time. Then i read this continously. I think the story isn't really complicated though and the drawing is just like Rave, Hiro Mashima style. And there are some joke and comedy in this manga. It's absolutely a Shounen Manga, because it's focused on the battles between character.
For this Manga, i give 7,5 of 10. I think because this manga has mainstream storyline which is a long story. Well, if you interested, you can read it at Shonen Magz in Indonesia or the volumed one. You can buy this manga at your nearest bookstore.
