I think I owe them money for some books I didn't return when I was a kid. :beaten:

The Victoria Ward Borders Books and Music has, like, TOO many copies of Musashi (not too much of Taiko, I think) as does the Ala Moana Waldenbooks, FYI Aho' and ya'll's in Hawai'i. I talked to one of the booksellers who mentioned that Musashi's a constant bestseller in the islands.

I think the US version of Musashi's book has one book only (correct me if I'm wrong), so it's easier to read. The Brazilian version has 2 books (more than 1800 pages). :nut: But I loved the book anyway.

Oh, I'm afraid I have no more pics of Musashi to post. :( Bmwracer, please, post your vid recaps while I search for more pics. ;)

That's very interesting... Shinsengumi has been steadily tailing off... Maybe people are realizing that star/guy/SMAP power ain't enough... It's still got a long ways to go, though....

I think it wasn't only me who didn't be convinced by Shingo Katori's acting. It's a relief, I've thought I was being so much critic about his job.
Shinsengumi seems to get more interesting from now on, but I really don't know how the audience will respond to it. But the ratings thing wasn't only about Musashi, as many people thought ...

It was very good. Unfortunately, it never happened according to Yoshikawa Eiji's book. :(

Yeah. Too bad.

Everything was the real deal up to the duel with Kojiro though, right?

Most of it.

Get the book, homey.

Have Rina-chan read it to you as a bedtime story. :hehe:
