Damn, That Took Long Enough…

Finally got ahold of the subbed version of Episode 6. Halfway through with the series already? Jesus Christ, it’s bad enough the days are ticking away for my wedding in June, but this is ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculous, it’s good to see Reina’s animated doppelganger taking some bumps, even though Chutaro is still getting his requisite share of abuse and Officer Nacchi is still having involuntary Marilyn Monroe moments…

I’ll keep checking for Episode 7 – I haven’t seen a raw version, let alone a subbed one, yet as of this writing.

Caught, Can I Get A Witness?

Sorry I’m a week behind on these, what with Episode 6 (unsubbed) already on the YouTubes and all.

Soon as Episode 6 is subbed, I’ll post it here.

This is Getting Really F*cking Weird…

Very bizarre episode this week. The last time I checked, Reinya was supposed to be the smart one, although the cops haven’t gotten any smarter (apparently the three of them all flunked science class in high school!). I guess living two identities causes one to have their own airhead moments.

Three Is The Magic Number…

Episode three of Kaito Reinya is in circulation, and since I didn’t get to it on Friday or Saturday, we can take advantage of the unintended lag by putting up the subbed version here! (If you’re not already aware, putting up “ICU Subs Kaito Reinya” in your YouTube search bar should bring up all of the translated versions to date.)

And Reina’s character is actually part cat? Funny, I hadn’t noticed the tail sticking out of her ass when she’s in her convenience store uniform… I’ll have to go back and rewatch the other episodes to see!

The Flagrant Mouse Abuse Continues…

Episode 2 of Kaito Reinya is already online (well, it was since yesterday). Even without the translations (and I’m waiting on that with anticipation), it’s not too hard to follow the basic plot of these episodes. Watch at the end of the episode for an eyeful of some Kaito Reinya merch, including a Reinya stuffie! (That’s already on top of my want list! CK, next time you’re in Japan…)

Make a Few Minutes for “Kaito Reinya”

CJ Marsicano — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 04:16:16 +0000

A cute cat-burglar. Stupid cops. Flagrant mouse abuse. These are the elements that make up the new anime series that Reina is doing the title character for, Kaito Reinya.

I never got around to posting news of the announcement or press pictures from when her participation in this new anime series was announced, but this afternoon I caught wind of the first episode being posted on the trackers and on YouTube, gave it a full, quick gander… and became hooked. If you don’t have the patience for trackers or YouTube rippers, we’ve got you covered with a handy download link for the full-quality HD file.

If this series ever comes out on Blu-Ray, I am there. Thank god “Region A” for BluRay discs and players covers both the US AND Japan!

Eleven Days of Tanakachii, Part 8

CJ Marsicano — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:25:04 +0000

Once thought lost thanks to copyright disputes between YouTube and Universal Music, the infamous video where the trailer to Reina’s Alo! Hello video from 2006 is was set to the equally infamous unedited version of Snoop Dogg/Akon song “I Wanna Love You” came back online a few months ago, once Universal stopped being so tightassed when it came to fair use of their recordings. I had put this together in iMovie in early 2007 just for shits and giggles, but when a couple of the lines in the song synced rather coincidentally well with the footage, I just had to put it up on YouTube. My YODC brother Langdon Alger loved it (I think Drifoy did as well) and another now-former contributor posted the video there, but one guy with little or no sense of humor got really upset when he took the clip at face value and posted in reaction, “Wow…you perverts…Reina in NO WAY a stripper of any type, and you guys are jackasses to associate someone like Reina with a [song] made? by Akon+Snoop Dogg.” For the record, I think it’s already been established here at SHSSF that even though I adore Reina, bedding her is another story entirely!.

I don’t know what happened to Drifoy, who used to run 100% Wonkyfied (which he moved from Wordpress to a domain name that has since, regrettably, expired), but some of his OPV tributes to the Wonkylicious One still live on at YouTube, including this piece set to the English version of Edward Chun’s “Give My Love”. Drifoy, if you’re still out there, give your boy a holler!.

The One Where There’s A Nice Way To Start Off SoHotSheShitsFire.com’s 2009

CJ Marsicano — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:42:56 +0000

Yes, I know things have been a bit inactive over the past month or so here at SHSSF, but after finally getting to log on today I found a nice way to make up for it… the PV for Morning Musume’s new single “Naichau Kamo” is out, and guess who’s front and center just like on “Resonant Blue”?

Yes, Reina and I will be “discussing” this and maybe a couple of other things soon, but I’ll leave initial comments to the mothership first.

The Week In Reina, 11.22.08

CJ Marsicano — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:27:28 +0000

It’s been a bit quiet this week with Her Royal Hotness in the leadup to the release of [COVER YOU]. (And in my case, that mean’s that tomorrow’s release of the new G’n'R album here in the States [exclusively through a big-box retailer but not Sprawl-Mart like some bands I could mention - sorry for the stray into the mothership's territory] is merely going to be a tideover until the new MoMusu CD arrives in my mailbox later this week.) If you can’t wait those extra few days for your copy to arrive in the mail or for the album to end up on US iTunes, Reina has seen fit to play three songs from the album on FIVE STARS this past week, and Hello! Online has the torrent of that episode.

But fan OPVs and other YouTube uploads have been popping up, like this one using footage from Alo! Hello (and elsewhere) but whose soundtrack isn’t identified by the creator or poster:

And then there’s another creative person who decided to do a bit of manga-ization of Reina, CGI style, and shows off the results in a short YouTube clip. (I’m reminded of an article a few months back about contact lenses that can make your pupils anime-sized.) It’s a bit freaky – so suffice it to say you’ve been warned in advance.

There’s also apparently been a little crate-digging going on, as someone else has shared a live performance of Aa! doing “First Kiss” on (I am presuming, since there’s no identification at the page itself) PopJam. Can you believe that this record was out SIX YEARS AGO?!?. Reina was pretty back then (but obviously with no indication of how sexy she’d become), but the real holy shit moment now, as then, was then nine-year-old Airi Suzuki singing her ass off.

Last week we mentioned that a translation of Reina’a new DVD was up on the torrents. If torrents aren’t your thing, the entire translation is on YouTube thanks to one enterprising fan. It’s in six parts, so start here.

If you ever wondered what would be a good thing to cook for Reina if the opportunity to have her over for dinner arose, her answer to this week’s Pocket Weekly question seems to suggest that a good ribeye steak would be perfect for Her Royal Hotness. (I usually rub mine with Montreal steak seasoning and then throw it on a Foreman grill for ten minutes.)

Left out of last week’s roundup – Vee has both of the covers of [COVER YOU] up at Pink Wota. Let’s just say my fellow Cancerian and favorite J-Pop blogger has my number near the end of the piece.

A belated (to us) short-but-sweet birthday tribute to Reina from Sekushii Island a new blog from a longtime fan, hosted by pengie of unchained. Believe me, I can ID with having to blog on the fly.
