Tiger & Barnaby’s character song lyrics

Kanji and romaji lyrics for the songs on Tiger & Barnaby’s character CD. The lyrics printed on the CD booklet have a typo in Barnaby’s song, I’ve corrected it in the transcript. If I’ve made any errors in the romaji, please don’t hesitate to point them out. (Sometimes I make the weirdest typos when I romanize lyrics!)

Translations for songs and drama tracks by /a/nons here.

You can buy the CD for example at CDJapan.

Masakazu Katsura’s artbook + figure set release date changed

The release date of the limited edition of character designer Masakazu Katsura‘s artbook with the original coloring version of Wild Tiger S.H. Figuarts has been changed. The new date appeared in a Rakuten store last week, but I wanted to confirm it from another source. The new release date is February 10, 2012.

The regular edition isn’t available anywhere for preorder yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll come out at the same time with the limited edition or if the release date will be different.

Other book news

  • The first official comic anthology from DNA Comics is coming out tomorrow, August 25th.
  • Another source book, “Official Guide Book Hero Gossips” from Kadokawa Shoten, is coming out in late September. It will cover the entire series and also features a new “tribute story”. Cheapest price I’ve found so far is at CDJapan, but it’s also listed in most other online stores selling Tiger & Bunny merchandise.

Kenjiro Tsuda’s Haterumade Radio from Ustream

Nathan/Fire Emblem’s VA Kenjiro Tsuda‘s Haterumade Radio had a special broadcast “Tiger & Bunny episode 20 was interesting!” on Ustream after Tiger & Bunny episode 20 finished airing, hosted by Kenjiro Tsuda and Yuuki Fujiwara with Masakazu Morita (Barnaby’s VA) as guest. The recording with video included is now available on Hibiki Radio. No registration is needed to listen/watch.

The show is pretty long (over an hour runtime) and I haven’t watched it all yet, but it’s quite amusing even though they talk so fast at times I can’t keep up with it. (I can’t be the only one amused by Morita’s hairstyle, right?)

Tiger & Bunny final episode live viewing event

The news section on official site was updated after episode 21 aired with more information about the all-night live event “Tiger & Bunny ~Thank you, and again, thank you!!~” that’ll take place on September 17th from 23:00 to 05:00. Guests at the main event in Shinjuku, Tokyo will be Hiroaki Hirata (Wild Tiger/Kotetsu T. Kaburagi) and Koji Yusa (Lunatic/Yuri Petrov) along with staff members. In addition to that, the last episode of Tiger & Bunny will be screened in movie theaters across the country, along with episode 24. More information on the locations and prices on the event page. Twitter is also being strongly involved in the event, the announcement on the official site wishes for “the whole world to experience the final episode”.

If you’re in Japan and going to the event (at any location) we’d love to hear your comments from it, so please don’t hesitate to contact us! (I’d definitely go if I was still in Japan.)
