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!
Hi guys, long time no see! A certain someone on Twitter poked us about translating interviews, so here we go again. You can find the full interview in Japanese in the Hero Gossips book.
You can find the previously translated interviews here.
Disclaimer: not a professional translator, doing this for fun, etc. Standard fantranslation rules apply.
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.

As it says on the topic, the official Twitter announced that there will be a New Years Special on Ustream, at 25:59 JST on December 31st, and 13:59 JST on January 1st. There’s no more information yet whether the second airing is a rerun or not, nor is there information on exactly what the show will be about but Mr. Ozaki promises in his tweet to give more information later.
I think my plans for New Year are pretty much covered with this!
Update: New Years Special is planned to feature the following, and the same material will be on the 2nd broadcast:
And in a totally different topic, Koubutsuya added more items to the T&B crystal dome cellphone charm line: Antonio, Nathan, Paolin, Yuri and… Maverick.
I don’t know about others, but I’d steer clear of a person sporting a Maverick charm on their cellphone. (∩ﾟдﾟ) The reaction on Twitter was roughly 90% horror and “WHY?!” with amusement mixed in.

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!
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.)
