Happy New Year!

So many fun things happened and we got to know so many great people, so thank you, everyone, for a fantastic Taibani year 2011!

We can’t come up with anything more perfect than what Hirata Hiroaki (Kotetsu’s seiyuu) already posted: cooking fried rice for those important to you.

Happy New Year, and Happy New Year again!

Tiger & Bunny Stuff For Holidays (Updated)

I didn’t ask for much for Christmas, and this is plenty already:

Hirata Hiroaki also posted on his blog about the character songs – he and Morita Masakazu (or Banikazu-kun as he called him) are singing a duet and solo songs again.

Update: Morita Masakazu tweeted that he was recording Bunny-chan’s song for the album. (“Bunny-chan” was his exact wording, not mine.)

Update 2: Inoue and Ozaki were having a conversation on Twitter earlier, seems that the first song to get sampled from BEST OF HERO will be Sky High’s. It’s supposed to be very fitting for the character, and also will get stuck on loop in your head, so you’ve been warned.

Christmas Event Pin Designs

Design by Pilar.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Christmas Event and made your own memorial pin designs. The event idea was given to us by our chat channel mascot, and he also got the honor of randoming the Hero Gossips book we had up for grabs. Congratulations to Kokocho!

You can see all the designs here.

Whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, or another seasonal holiday you’re celebrating, we wish you Happy Holidays!

(By the way, December 8th was a kind of unofficial memorial pin day because it’s the day Kotetsu buys the matching pins at the skating rink.)

Happy Birthday Barnaby Brooks Jr.!

 Happy Birthday, and Again Happy Birthday Barnaby Brooks Jr.!

And thank you, everyone who baked and cooked or made crafts or cards for our favourite Bunny! The main thing was to have fun together with Barnaby’s birthday, so we went easy with the rules of the event. Halloween crept also into the pictures. (I guess it couldn’t be helped. Besides, the few pumpkin carvings that we got look awesome!)

Check out the gallery here!

This time everything was less hectic than with Friend Rice, so we were able to reply to everyone in person. We’re really happy to hear that you all had fun with the event and that so many people (over 60!) participated!

We’d love to arrange more events in the future, and we are open for suggestions. Fanart? Cosplay? Something else? If you got an idea, toss it at us on Twitter or send an email to mail[at]thisissternbild.com.
