Mew Project NETWORK. Celebrates 5 yrs. of serving the Earth's future.

.:UPDATES ARCHIVE:.

Minor update to the episode guide. Had never noticed before, but in episode 19 "Blue Bird" plays while the girls are playing volleyball. Why a Mint song in a Lettuce-centered episode? I dunno. o.o; The names of the three boys were also added.

June, 06th, 2006 - "Yes! Yes! Yes!" lyrics and production sketches are now online. A huge thanks goes out to Lai, Mew Shinju, and Cross Forte RockMan for those. Sorry for being so slow with updates. My job eats up a lot of my time. e-e; Rawr. Hate my job. (And no... Gamecube has nothing to do with it... *cough* Yes... nothing...?) Still not sure if I'll be attending the anime convention or not. Will have to nag Amaya about it, but I've pretty much 90% decided to go as Cafe!Ichigo again, only with pigtails, cat ears and tail, and a TY plush kitty made up to look like Alto (a la BRIGHT!green bandanna and crooked tail O_o). I wanna go~ but if I don't, I might buy something for the website instead. (So, ha!) That's all.

May 27th, 2006 - Some of my own fanart is online again. I'm still in the process of uploading guest art. I'm at "L" now.

I added maybe 20 new group screencaps and some more of Aoyama-kun (like 3?). I'll update with more all at once when I have a major screencapping spree. There's also 4 more images of Kouichi Touchika that I screencapped from a Naruto special where each of the voice actors did a skit on stage and then showed an anime clip. (For anyone who doesn't recall, Touchika-san voices Ryou Shirogane and in Naruto is the voice of Neji.) I'm also going to upload PSXeven which is a Playstation emulator. This is because people keep e-mailing me about the game without realizing that it will NOT work in an American Playstation console. I have the BIOS file in it and everything, so it should be ready to go if you download it from here. You'd just need the game.

As for Platinum Blonde, once I get a new layout together it should come off hiatus pretty soon. As a side note, I'm going to start covering all things related to the Shirogane family, including things that pop up a lot in fandom, and I'm considering a project to record all of the Shirogane children. (Who DOESN'T have a Shirogane child? e-e)

And as to why I haven't updated in what feels like years, blame that on my manga. ^^; <3

Oh, and it looks as if I MIGHT be attending Anime Mid-Atlantic on Saturday this year. It mostly depends on whether or not something prevents my friend from going. IF I do go, I'll either be Cafe Ichigo again or Kairi from Kingdom Hearts 2.

One of my online friends - Keruri-chan - recently attending JACON, and she was telling me today that she had taken a drawing I did for her of Mew Starfruit and Taruto with her in her binder. She also said that a girl came up to her and "was ranting about how wonderful Neko-Tokyo was". Anyways, I don't know who you are, but in the event that you actually read this, thank you. ^^; I appreciate it.

May 15th, 2006 - Greetings. I was incredibly busy with moving back home (with dialup, bleh) and also - with my new job (yay?). I get to stick stuff in envelopes all day and suffer papercuts for $6 an hour. Yes... it's... wonderful. >.> (But I should be able to get ToS and KH2 this way, and stuff. Bwaha. *cough*)

Anyhow, I finally got the "Kirameki no Umi wo Koete" lyrics up that Mew Shinju and I slaved over for months (mostly her, I bet.) I also tried to clarify the Kokoro rules page since most apps I'm getting have been lacking at least one important thing. And added a field for AIM, because a lot of us live on AIM, and most of the RP takes place in AIM chatrooms.

I'm working on getting several other things up, which I will not reveal until they're online. But they should be fun. In the meantime, I dug up the links to the puzzles and personality quizzes from ages ago. There's also a fanart/graphics contest coming up, as well as a "Christmas in July" event.

So basically, if you have anything Mew Mew-related that is wintery, feel free to submit it. There's nothing specific intended for that. Just that by then it might be so hot that we'll be wishing for snow.

May 1st, 2006 - Added a review page for the Tokyo Mew Mew Playstation game (which I still haven't beaten - darn you Gateau), along with some media that was a headache and made my laptop spazz out, so check it out! It took me all afternoon. (Really. x-x) And I repeat: I do not guarantee that the character stats are accurate (they need some fixing), but, well, you can tell which areas the characters suck in in my gameplay at least. I can make more clips if people are interested in seeing an *actual* battle. It'd just take a while since I have to record audio and video seperately and... well, it's tedious. I have tomorrow and Wednesday off so expect the rest of my updates line-up then.

April 25th, 2006 - "Repure" came in the mail today, so I posted up 14 of the scans (under scans). I'll try to do a little work with it to make a more accurate summary, although I won't be able to translate it, because I don't know Japanese, and my dictionary is a bit limited. ^^; Got the link buttons working. And this isn't really important, but I'm gonna say it anyway. Since there are like 500 Mew Cherry/Cherii/Cherri/Sakura/Sakuranbo/-rambo/Cherreh 's out there, please refer to me as Ellana from now on? It's quite a deal less common. ^^ (Too many Lindseys as well, and using Ryou's name just confuses people.) But you can do whatever you want regarding that matter. Thanx.

Lastly. Shameless pluggage. alleyWAY. The Kokoro website is back up now, too. Yay Plum.

April 9th, 2006 - Added some information I translated (freetranslation.com) and some that was submitted regarding one of Mia Ikumi's recent works called "Repure", as well as information on some of her other works. I'll actually be getting a copy later this month (in Japanese), so more information will be added then.

New songs up. Nobody requested anything, so whoever chooses to listen must suffer my completely random musical tastes from Bollywood to Disney, to oldies, musicals, J-pop and rock, and American rock. Oh, and I posted one of the two Nonstop Tokyo Mew Mew remixes (the better one IMO). Since I just realized I have close to 300 megs on my school account, I'll definately start making use of it.

April 2nd, 2006 - New M3U List Upped. I will not be sending any sort of file via e-mail, but temporary links for (right-click, save as...): [ Kingdom Hearts 2 - Passion ] and [ Aqua - Cartoon Heroes ]. Speaking of "Passion", I finally heard "Sanctuary". e-e; It's... much better in Japanese. No KH2 for me yet. Rawr. *grumble* Also, I didn't get much response, so I'll take more requests for next time. I'll also do trades (w00), but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. In the middle of the update, which should be obvious. That's why the fan pages are still whacked up and lack the newest additions, etc. But the old humor lists are back online, and I added Gateau's profile and updated Ringo's a while ago, and re-posted most of the early MMP changes from before.

My main project as of late, however, has been my original manga titled "alleyWAY". I'll post the link for that once that site is more functional. It's about four boys who had died, and are given an additional nine days to return to Earth to finish their unfinished business and let go of the living world - but, by day they're stuck as cats, so it's not as easy as it sounds. If you lurk/stalk/watch my DevArt account, I've been posting a lot of info. as I think it up, including opportunities for input and feedback. Enough of me rambling.

March 30th, 2006 - Going to re-up my M3U List when I finish the site update. If anyone has any song requests, I will try to add them, but I will not guarantee that I will post the song depending on the number of responses, and whether I have it at college with me. My song list is HERE. Send song requests to THIS ADDRESS with the subject "N-T Song Request". Limit two requests per person. College has been busy, and I've been working on my manga as well as having managed to hurt my arm by falling on it, so going's slow. (That, and I come up with too many things to do at once. e-e)

March 24th, 2006 - I exist. O_o Working on an update. Will post when I'm done. ^^;

March 8th, 2006 - [ Cherry's M3U List ] Just testing this. A playlist of whatever music I feel like at the moment. Some may be familiar. ^^;

March 7th, 2006 - Neko-Tokyo now has... a radio station. Dun dun. Basically it's Ryudo's (brought you the voice of Ryou in the episode 01 Fandub) baby and he said it could be the official station for Neko-Tokyo. It's new, and he's still working on it, so it might be unavailable from time to time, and it can only host 15 people at once, but it's still quite spiffy. Plays pretty much everything except country.

Also, please contact me if you have any desire whatsoever to audition for singing "My Sweet Heart" in English. If not, I'm gonna close up everything but Ryou, Keiichiro, and crowd voices. For details, please see the thread [ here ]

[ And version one of the trailer is done. ] I liked Chinomi's so much I made one too. It's similar in that it's broken up by text, so, she deserves some credit in that department. I plan to do another trailer with the main cast and me... singing... x-x

March 3rd, 2006 - I'll be casting Ichigo and many other parts for my Episode 36 fandub today. So, if you're at all interested in being a part of the production, please audition. You just have to record the lines through a computer microphone using a program like Sound Recorder, Windows Movie Maker, or Audacity. For details, please see the thread [ here ]. There will also be a trailer and blooper reel to go along with it. You do NOT need to sign up at VAA to audition. The same thread is at MewMewForums.Com, just not updated.

Feb 27th, 2006 - Got and scanned my pencil board. Yay. <3 I think the aliens look really spiff for some reason. Thus marks the end of my eBay spree. I'll try to get some more sections back up later, but I have two art projects I need to start working on, and some upcoming exams, so I can't guarantee that it'll be that big or that soon.

Feb 24th, 2006 - Pencil board #1 came today. It turned out to be the other Mew Mew (anime) one. (The person I bought it from on eBay accidently sent the wrong one, but said I could keep them both.) So, I scanned it and posted it in the gallery. I'm sure you've all seen the image before, but it's pretty. =3

Feb 23rd, 2006 - Got panorama images up. They really did take forever to edit, so please be kind. ^^; I also got the (unfinished) manga summaries and recommendations pages back up, and the links to the fandub/fandub clips back up on those pages. I feel like I'm on a roll! =O (Okay, mebbe not...) I finally get to go home this weekend =D so don't expect much out of me and my dialup then. I'll be spending most of my free time recording my Lettuce lines for Zakuro and MorningStarFairy's projects. Yep.

Feb 20th, 2006 - Yes, Cherry is a happy camper because she got her bromide cards today. <3 They're in the "other scans" section, although the scans don't do the cards justice . I didn't bother posting the common cards because they are just scenes from the anime, although I may later if someone wants me to. The cards are larger than the average trading card, and both of the ones I posted have holographic backgrounds to them (you can't tell). Does anyone else wonder why there are randomly wings on either side of the Tokyo Mew Mew logo?

Also, for the sake of shameless advertising, I'm involved in several Mew Mew fandub/radioplay projects right now. One run by MorningStarFairy and the other two by Zakuro (aka Minto) at Voice Acting Alliance. I get to voice Lettuce <3. So please check them out if you're into that sort of thing. The rest of the cast is very talented, and AmreeTakahara did an awesome job with the English version of "My Sweet Heart". :3

As for my own projects, I'm still taking Episode 36 auditions for the next two weeks [with a possible extension], and quite a few of the lines are coming in for "a la mode", so hopefully the first part of that will be done soon.

Feb 18th, 2006 - Had a few processes left in the program, so I'm karaoking some more non-TMM songs. "Starry Heavens" (ToS) came out pretty well, so I posted it. I should also be posting a few more later. Additionally, I've gotten a bunch of avatars up. Some are new. I'm sticking to exact sizes from now on (since boards sometimes only accept exact sizes), so I had to weed a bunch of them out.

Feb 16th, 2006 - Red Data page updated, and is now a little closer to completion. There are also new karaoke files up. "Afternoon Tea" turned out especially well, so please check that one out at least. I've also re-upped the merchandise page, with a few amendments. I hope to work on that some more later on.

Feb 12th, 2006 - Shots from the seiyuu interviews added to the screen cap gallery.

Feb 11th, 2006 - Updated the galleries, so now there are images of Alto and Ryou, and a bunch of new pictures of Deep Blue, with a few additions to the other galleries.

Feb 9th, 2006 - I have contributed much Ryou love to Wikipedia. <3 *doesn't understand a few things about Wikipedia* And I'm thinking that progress bar can just about go away... Character profiles have been updated a miniscule amount (by that I mean some Ringo information, images for her and Ucha, and song title translations).

Feb 7th, 2006 - Decided to go ahead with an episode 36 fandub. Auditions are open through March 3rd. Please check MewMewForums.Com or the Voice Acting Alliance for details and audition lines if you are interested.

My episode 50 clip is done! Yay! When leaving comments, please leave constructive criticism that will help us in the future. Don't bash my cast, yo. I'm very very proud of them. Anyway, the links:
[ YouTube ] + [ Low Quality ] + [ High Quality ]

Feb 6th, 2006 - Got a new affiliate, which is Tokyo Mew Mew Academy. As a result, the buttons to my affiliates/sisters and fanlistings are now working.

Feb. 4th, 2006 - Working on character information, and have added the beginnings of profiles for Berry and Ringo. There's also the addition of character songs listed within the profiles. I'm trying to think of 4-5 words to head each of the pages, for example, Ichigo's "Courageous Lovestruck Pink Catgirl ~Nya!". But I'm stuck on some of the characters, so if you'd like to make some suggestions or revisions, that'd be great.

Feb. 3rd, 2006 - Gonna attempt an old-fashioned website chat if enough people are about this evening. If you're already a part of the AIM chats, just message me for the user/password. Any newcomers will have to successfully fill out the form in order to get it. Chat time will hold to the original Fridays @ 8PM Eastern US Time until whenever, unless I find that it needs to be adjusted. People typically come and go from then until around midnight, or stay the whole time. It's up to you. Also, it's not manditory that you show up to every chat. This is just for "fun". I'll try to start keeping a log or something for this phase. Meanwhile, I'll stop rambling and attempt a site update.

Jan. 31st, 2006 - Episode 01 of the fandub now has a [ youtube link ], including the blooper reel. I've also uploaded [ Zakuro - Carry on Dancing ], which is rather old. I've got a bunch of things to do for school, so I haven't had time to do any serious work on the site recently.

Jan. 30th, 2006 - Might be modifying the layout a bit, since I just tested it on a Macintosh and you can't even click on the navigation at the top. e-e; I also tested it in FireFox, and it seemed to work okay.

Jan. 28th, 2006 - Yes, I definately need a trip to Happy Acres. But I finally found you again, mwahaha. >.> [ What the Ryou-Obsessed-Freak bought on eBay ]. Yes, I'm done. e-e;

Jan. 27th, 2006 - I come bringing yet another update. This time, I'm getting the screen capture galleries back up. They're being hosted on photobucket.com to make them really easy to update and add to. The only problem is that if there's too much traffic, the entire gallery will get knocked out for the remainder of the month, and that won't be cool. I've divided them up among two accounts so it shouldn't be a problem (I hope), but if people start linking them up everywhere, they will not last long. So please be considerate and if there are a few pics you wish to use - save them onto your computer and then upload them to your own webspace. This way everyone can enjoy the galleries all month long, okay? Thanks. It's still a work in progress so some of the albums are empty or close to it. Also, the panorama images are going to be hosted on the main site since I would like credit for those. It's really hard to piece together a screen that pans up AND zooms out at the same time, so that's why I'm doing it.

Jan. 24th, 2006 - Music video page posted. I also updated the TMM Fandub cast. More later.

Jan. 23rd, 2006 - Happy birthday to the Kokoro RPG!! *bricked* I would have forgotten too... ^^; Right now the only thing I have to say is: sorry to be a total jerk, but I am requesting credits on youtube. I know - lost cause. But I can try... e-e; I also posted "Iris" a while ago; I shall be using youtube from now on because putfile is being slow as a sloth, and that's just not cool.

Iris - Aliens Tribute
Song: "Iris" - Goo Goo Dolls
Notes: Focuses mostly on the aliens and alien pairings: KisshuxIchigo, LettucexPie, PuddingxTart, or for the MMP crowd: DrenxZoey, BridgetxSardon, KikkixTarb. I thought the song fit well, especially with Kisshu. Coulda been better. Subtitle and low-quality scenes warning.
[ DOWNLOAD ]

Jan. 22nd, 2006 - Finally, finally, finally got the radioplay casted. It was incredibly painful here at the end. I got a ton of auditions over a very long period of time. If you're on the castlist - congrats. And if you haven't contacted me for a while, or vice versa, please drop me a line to confirm that you're still available for the part. I'll be getting this thing started really soon. [No, I haven't forgotten about the parody dub, but I don't have a script yet.] Cosplay and a few other pages have been updated. I'll hopefully have more time later in the week, but right now... I'm sleepy. It's 3AM. Lastly, I'm making a section for video clips of deleted scenes. These are the scenes that were cut out of Mew Mew Power for anyone interested. This'll go up under the cuts and alterations section, since it needs a lot of work otherwise. ^^;

And yes, Holle, I do believe I'll be putting the chatroom back up. Might look for a new one without annoying popup ads, though.

Oh yeah, and the other thing: Getbackers - Evil Eyes (Canna Nobutoshi). (Yeah, I read my guestbook. Thanks.)

Jan. 19th, 2006 - Okay, I searched and counted, and came up with a grand total of 10 of my music videos that were up on youtube.com. And since they were created by me, and have not been edited at all, I'm just gonna save myself time and post the links to them. O_o; Might as well make the most of the situation. And people, don't "I didn't make this", go look up who made it. It's really easy~! And about half of them had my name AND/OR site right there in the credits. (I promise. x-x) So, music videos will be up pretty soon. I may post some previously unreleased or high quality versions of some of mine. I'm also in the mood for making another vid, but I can't decide on a song. I'm tempted to do a Bollywood vid. Nobody else would probably ever do that~ >3 On the topic of multimedia, reposted the high quality version of the [ EPISODE 01 FANDUB ] in all its "This is Cherry's first dub project she helped with" glory. O_o; I should have my episode 50 clip done soon <3 and auditions for the "a la mode" radioplay end on Friday. I have the clip of Zakuro and Mint fighting fandubbed too, but I was trying to fix it up first since my screaming was pathetic. In case you haven't noticed, a few more pages have gone up. The old character profiles are online, as well as an improved summary of Kokoro. Mmm... yeah, it's late. I'll try to update tomorrow after a bus ride to Wal-mart and a too-early art class. (I finally saw the KH2 open/ending... *tear*)

Jan. 12th, 2006 - Music from Mew Mew Power posted.

Voice files are back up. Clips for Nobutoshi, Ogata, and Sakaguchi were replaced. (I think the Nobutoshi song sounds much more like Pie, and Sakaguchi's clip is much better overall IMO). I also added samples of the voices for Miwa/Heicha, Moe, and Tart. The site's... still not fully functional yet, obviously. So maybe stuff that's disappeared will reappear when that time comes, no? e-e;

Jan. 11th, 2006 - Took some actions to prevent people from stealing my content. So, if you find that you can't highlight anything (and you shouldn't be able to), that's why. A few pages are up. Most aren't, since I don't want those pages available until they're "finished". ^^; On the subject of "new" content, I added some Nakayoshi scans not from the TMM graphic novels (I think), and the short version of the lyrics to "Kirameki no Umi wo Koete" from episode 47 to the lyrics list. I do plan to update and reorganize that page later. More soon.

Jan. 10th, 2006 - If I don't have any/much homework to do during my free time Thursday and Friday, I might be able to get most everything back up by the weekend. Don't hold me to this, though, since I do have a life. About 80% of the old pages are ready to go, but I'm going to update them anyway. Finally finished "Stupid Girl", which didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. It's a loud action sequence.

TMM - Stupid Girl
Song: "Stupid Girl" - Cold
Notes: An action video with a much more depressing/loud feel than my videos usually have. The volume might also be louder. There should be clips from every episode here. Focuses on action, drama, and also a bit on inferring that the girls are naive. Perhaps they're not up to the challenge... I dunno. O_o;
[ Low Quality ]

Also... please do not upload my music videos to youtube and elsewhere. ._. I really don't like finding them. Just saying "I didn't make this" isn't giving proper credit. If you must post it, the least you could do is put "Cherry made this. I got this from Neko-Tokyo". Be nice, okay? Consider... You come up with a recipe to make a new kind of doughnut. This makes your cafe popular. Other people begin stealing your recipe, making your doughnuts, and selling them at their cafes. How do you feel? Same thing here, only without the doughnuts. I know I'm ranting about internet theft again, and that it's fairly impossible to control, but think about it.

My rant's over. Besides cosplay and website links, fanfiction submissions are also open again. Most of the links weren't working anymore on FF.net, so I'm left with relatively few. Or, if the links to your stories changed and you could send me an update, that'd be great as well. Sorry if it sounds like I have an attitude... I really don't. X-x;

Jan. 7th, 2006 - Merf. People weren't kidding about lots of sites being dead. I'm in the process of updating my links list (although freewebs is down so I can't check some of the sites), so if you have or know of a good Mew Mew site, please send it to me and make my job easier. Although - I won't guarantee that I'll link it, especially if I feel the site is below average or has stolen material (and YES, I can TELL). I'm also taking cosplay image submissions right now. That is a picture of you or a picture you personally took of individuals in Mew Mew costumes at local anime conventions (or Halloween or whatever is okay). Please include the name you wish to go by (ex: Ellana), the name and year of the convention (if applicable, ex: Anime Mid-Atlantic 2005), and the character's name (if for some reason it isn't obvious O_o, ex: Mew Mint). If you're under 18, make sure it's OK with your parent/guardian. Link and cosplay submissions are the ONLY submissions I'm currently taking. Sorry. ^^; [ Send them here ]

And the site should be fully functional by the end of January. A partial version may be up before then. You may want to check out the message board in the meantime.

Jan. 3rd, 2006 - Happy New Year. A layout is finally starting to come together, using a combo of DIVs and PHP. Hey, I'm actually learning something. =3 And yeah, it's purple. It shouldn't be long now. ^^;

Dec. 23rd, 2005 - It may be late again this year, but I haven't forgotten about the doujinshi for "Neon Waltz" (which won the Christmas fanfiction last year). So please give the story a read. It's very nicely written, and I'll try to get the manga pages posted when I can. .:: Silver bells, silver bells... ::.

Dec. 15th, 2005 - Lucky me. I'm stuck at school for another day until they decide what to do about final exams (and the only one left is Biology too. Rawr~). New site e-mail: nekotokyosite@yahoo.com. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for N-T, please drop an e-mail over there.

And the site should be fully functional by the end of January. A partial version may be up before then. You may want to check out the message board in the meantime.

Dec. 12th, 2005 - Bleh, still stuck on a layout. May just end up using anime screens to make a holiday layout. Everyone likes snow, right? On the side of news, Mew Mew Power returns to Fox Box on December 31st, begining re-runs with episode 113 "Butterflies are Freaky". Although, as far as I know, there are only three more finished episodes. Not sure how far they've gotten dubbing (or even getting the rights for?) the second half of the series (AKA, IMO, the "better half" X-x).

Uploaded my two most recent music videos to tide you over until the site's back up. Probably will downsize and upload "Iris" as well, which focuses on the aliens (and alien+mew pairings - KxI, PxR, PxT), and the one I'm working on now, which is action, to Cold's "Stupid Girl". These files are available on Putfile.com. They cannot be saved or direct-linked, so do not attempt to do so. You watch them on the actual page, but they are fairly small in size, so dialup should be able to handle them (about 15-20MB). With Rapidshare, scroll down to chart and click "free" button. Scroll down next page and enter code that appears. Scroll down next page, wait 60 seconds, and the link will appear in large text.

Ryou x Retasu (Elliot x Bridget) - Learn to Love Again
Song: Kaci's "I Will Learn to Love Again" The Perfect Man Soundtrack
Notes: [Ryou spoilers] Upbeat cutesy romance AMV. Deals with both characters having loved someone else, having to give up on them, and finding each other. It's not my favorite pairing, but I know people who adore it, so this one's for them.
[ LOW QUALITY ] [ HIGH QUALITY (Rapidshare) ]

Ryou x Ichigo (Elliot x Zoey) - Unbelievable
Song: Kaci Brown's "Unbelievable"
Notes: [Ryou spoilers, general spoilers] Favorite pairing Evah. <3 This was requested by Rockie at MewMewForums.Com. I was surprised with how well footage ended up fitting the lyrics. From Ichigo's point of view, basically going along with her being unable to hate Ryou (implied here that she loves him back), and such.
[ LOW QUALITY ]

Dec. 9th, 2005 - Thanks to Vanilla, I finally figured out how to use PHP. Yay! It'll make updating and changing layouts A LOT easier. This is just a note to let you know that the site will be returning sometime in the near future, hopefully during the holiday season. Thanks for your patience.

As of October 03, 2005...

--------------------------------------

Got "a la mode" in the mail today. I must say that I was a little disappointed in the ending of the series. It wasn't exactly bad, but I think it could have been stronger. Descriptions contain spoilers, they're in pink so if you don't want the end ruined for you, you can skip over them. While Berry struggles with her feelings for Tasuku, the Saint Rose Crusaders prepare to launch their final move against Tokyo Mew Mew. By inserting subliminal messages in news reels and e-mail, the Crusaders plan to stir up a Tokyo Mew Mew fandom boom. Everybody in the city loves them. Berry finally plans to confess her true feelings to Tasuku, however, Tasuku runs off before she can finish. The real reason being because Tasuku also has strong feelings for Berry, and had almost kissed her, and he's afraid it might hurt her. Berry is left only with Tasuku's question "Can I quit being your childhood friend?". Berry's mother died when she was little, and she would always give her a hug whenever she was scared or lonely. Having told Tasuku this after the funeral, Tasuku promised that he's be there to hug Berry whenever she needed it. Alone, Tasuku runs into Duke, the leader of the Crusaders, who then brainwashes him into going after Berry to claim her for himself. The next time they meet, Tasuku seems cold, and more mature. He moves to kiss her, but Berry stops him. This time, Tasuku tries to attack. The fight is interrupted as the other girls appear to report a bombing in Shibuya. The girls rush off to save the day, but Berry still worries about what happened to her friend. This is when the Crusaders flip the switch. They try to convince the citizens that Tokyo Mew Mew caused the attacks all along, and that they are the enemies. With their fans against them, the Mew Mews are outnumbered. Ryou and Keiichiro send word that they must find something stronger than the hypnosis in order to break it and return them to normal. Things even go a step further as the people realize that things were fine until Mew Berry showed up on the scene, and they place all the blame on her. The other Mews and a little girl whom Berry saved from a burning building won't give up on her though. Worried for the child's safety, Berry picks her up and runs away... and into none other than Tasuku. Berry decides this is her final chance to tell Tasuku how she really feels, so she walks up and kisses him. Berry's declaration of love manages to break through the boy's trance, and he tells her he feels the same way. Their love is the power that was needed to warm everyone's hearts and break the hypnosis. Masaya also comes in to give Ichigo an unexpected kiss. Moved, the Duke calls off the attack.

Half a year has passed, and Berry and Tasuku are now the door-to-door delivery team for Cafe Mew Mew (via rollerblades, ofcourse). It seems unusual that everyone is still together even though the Earth is now at peace once more, but the group decides that it's their undying friendship that will always keep them close.

Besides that, there are several extras pages with Berry's "interviews" and false advertisements for Mew Mew Pancakes. At the end there's a new Petite Mew Mew story where the six girls (along with Ringo) accompany Pulful the sheep into the world of the "Sleeping Beauty of Strawberry Forest" picture book. It seems the princess cannot wake up because the aliens have ripped out all the pages with the prince in them. Seeing there's nothing they can do, Berry finally decides that the girls will have to return to the Kindergarten and draw in the missing pages. By doing this, the prince is able to awaken the princess, and they live happily ever after. The other story in the back is called "Rabbit Starfall" which follows the story of a young violinist named Miyuki who has lost the desire to play the violin. With the help of a young boy named Ichirouta, a bunny costume, and some falling stars, Miyuki is able to regain her desire to play. The book contains 216 pages including ads. I scanned a few of them.

+ Chibi Mew Ichigo
+ The other original four Mews as chibis
+ A nice group picture of the Mew Mews
+ "She's becoming more like a leader."
+ The girls defend Berii
+ Berry and Tasuku
+ Berry laying beside Tasuku
+ The final page. Cute no? =3
+ Berry Interview; reminded me of some fans

--------------------------------------

+ New Mew Mew Power episodes start up in America on September 10th. This batch should span the next 13 episodes through the battle at Tokyo Tower (the radio tower). The next episode deals with Wesley's ex-girlfriend, Chrys, who studies butterflies. It's her birthday, unfortunately, the occasion isn't so happy when she gets targeted by Dren's companions Tarb and Sardon. If you'd like to see the Japanese version of this episode for comparison purposes, you can download it here. Also episode 15, which focuses on Masha's (MiniMew's) contribution to the MewMew team.

+ Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode volume 02 is out in some areas. The actual street date is September 13th. Ordered a copy off eBay, so I should be able to provide scans and a synopsis soon.

+ The Neko-Tokyo forums are officially closed. Sorry to the people who frequented them, but it was really impossible for me to maintain them and help moderate MewMewForums.Com as well. If you're looking for a MewMew forum, I recommend those, which are a part of Cafe-MewMew.Com.

+ The site itself will remain on hiatus. Not sure for how long. However, I plan to open two new sections once it is revived. One is for Tokyo Mew Mew cosplay (Cosplay pictures/videos from actual anime conventions; the media must either be of you and your friends, or taken by you. Make sure it's okay with your parents before considering submissions. If for any reason a picture of you is ever posted and you don't want it to be, send an e-mail and it'll be removed.) The other section will be for Tokyo Mew Mew Power magazine articles, newsclips and write-ups from popular anime magazines, TV guide, online newspapers, etc. Thank you for your patience and support.

08/21/05 - Round two IDOL guidelines posted. Congrats to everyone who sang. I'll try to send out certificates ASAP.

08/15/05 - Tokyo Mew Mew Episode 47

Updated/condensed links out. I cut a few affiliates that never linked back to me. If you still want to do so, you can send me an e-mail and I'll fix it. The opposite is also true. On that note, I have a new affiliate which is Teal Tears, a Kisshu shrine. Sorry about the mess and the green void, but the next layout isn't ready yet, and I don't want to go on hiatus. x.x; Work on N-T will pick back up probably the weekend of the 27th, since next weekend is college move-in, and classes are all week.

08/12/05 - Finished the AMA05 report. There are now cosplay pictures. For those of you not interested, please disregard this update. TOKYO IDOL voting is also up. Voting will end sometime next week. Finally, someone was nice enough to upload Iyashite Agetai (a Mew Ringo image song) to www.gendou.com. I have uploaded it to rapidshare for those who haven't signed up at Gendou before. You just scroll down to the bottom of the page where there is a chart, click the "free" button, scroll down to the very bottom of the next page, and wait for the counter to reach zero and the download link to appear.

[ Iyashite Agetai ] - 6.20 MB

07/28/05 - Platinum Blonde now has a fast redirect URL so if it moves again the address will still be the same. The new one is http://dear.to/ryou. Lame, but it works. Converted the files for Idol. Will post them soon. Also, I'd like to thank those of you who voted in the TMM Site Awards. Neko-Tokyo was graced with the best layout award, so thank you for that.

07/27/05 - I know just how much you guys hate it when I ramble pointlessly, but this should at the very least answer a few questions. The music videos are down because of theft issues. When people post the direct video links on their website (ending in .wmv), then Tripod and Angelfire will eventually freeze the account with the music video and I'll have to repost it. I don't have the time to keep doing that. Will they be back? For the most part, Yes. The fanart will also be back, but I have to move it to another location because it was taking up too much space on this domain. No worries, I still have all of it. However, I don't think that my art will be back. Again, the reason is theft. People take, alter, and use my fanart without permission, and since I want to make a career out of art, stuff like that doesn't make me too happy... especially when I drew the picture specifically for someone (as was with my Berii fanart).

This site really is a mess right now, and I'll be working on fixing it back up (aka 'revamping'). I'm really sorry to have dragged you all into my own problems (referring mostly to Corina). And I appologize to her too for whatever reason, but you should know that your threats don't scare me, and I have no intention of dragging anyone else into it. If you hate Neko-Tokyo or me, that's your opinion. I don't care. Lots of people do anyways. Just quit stealing from people. This site's main function is to share a love for Tokyo Mew Mew/Mew Mew Power, and I had lost sight of that. I still love the series, and obviously you people do as well, so I'll try to stick to that idea in the future. I'm also sorry if I've come across as stuck-up and 'braggy'. x-x; I'm sorry some of you got the wrong impression... Anyways, that is that. /end rant

Thanks for the response to the radioplay. We'll be picking voices for most of the main characters soon. I'll definately be asking for help on Berii and some of the others because there were so many. If you don't get your first choice, please consider helping with minor characters. There are a lot of those too, and some have quite a few lines. Most of those will be appointed from the people who don't get accepted. A bunch of sound effects are done for that. If you have any suggestions for theme music for any of the characters (music no words), let me know, ok? Platinum Blonde is down [again. oh golly gee >.<], so I think I'm just gonna MOVE IT AGAIN. X-x; Rawr... Idol will be up as soon as the files can be resized (hopefully Thursday). Mitsukai, I *still* don't have yours. e-e; Voting for TMM Moments will also be starting soon. Please check back in the next few days/weeks/something.

A rather... fun and yet somewhat odd random download:

+ E.M.U. Music Video - "A to Z" (7MB) | E.M.U. was a music group featuring five Japanese seiyuu including Sakaguchi Daisuke (Kisshu, the first singer), Midorikawa Hikaru (Keiichiro, the fourth singer usually in the middle), and Nobutoshi Kanna <3 (Pai, the fifth singer right before the chorus with reddish hair).

Note: Tokyo Mew Mew Episode 47-49 are out now... *eats dialup* (subbed, encoded, and made available by Honobono Fansubs) Still need to down 48 and 49...

Random Pluggage; Operation Kirema Anima RPG - It's Tokyo Mew Mew and Mew Mew Power going head to head. There are a lot of characters open (since there's one for both the original and the dub of each character, plus fan mews). So if you're interested, please join us. Roleplaying's fun, but it's much more fun and the story can go much much further with more people.

06/25/05 - Updated guest fanart, my fanart, graphics, and wallpaper. I'm aware of the navi problem some of you are having, and I'm trying to figure out somewhere/how else to stick it without redoing the layout... Also, I was going to have a "Top Ten TMM Anime Moments" thing, but, obviously, I'll need people to nominate scenes. The winning scenes will be posted as permanent multimedia. If you haven't seen much of the anime, you could use the episode guide or the manga books as references, although some scenes differ or don't exist at all. You can send those at ellanachan@yahoo.com. There's a new image edit, too.

06/21/05 - One new TCG card scan and day one of the con reported. It's storming now, though, so I have to stop. I write too much. x.x; Oh yes, and I got "a la mode", w00t! Go buy it, it's really good. ^^

06/16/05 - Didn't really get as far as I had hoped. Bleh. But I did update the episode guide and caught up on the Oops! submissions. I admit that I was too lazy to add in all the anime pictures though. I'll go back and get that later. I did get most of the new layout up, though, so I guess that's a good thing. I also updated the Pudding gallery with brand new high quality shiny pictures. One new wallpaper and a section on anime convention tips in general (anime con 101).

I'll be gone all weekend so I will not be at the Friday chat nor will I be able to respond to any e-mails, but hopefully I'll have lots of fun stuff to bring back with me from AMA and share with everyone. I say "live", but if anyone bothers to read my pathetic little convention journal, just know that I might not get to type during the actual thing, it might be afterwards. e-e;

Final notes, one, if you intend to send me a music video, YOU must host it somewhere (angelfire, rapidshare, youshareit), I don't care but I'm not gonna make space for- and upload it. Dialup is such a pain. Two, if ya missed it the first time, Platinum Blonde is now at http://karenai-hana.org/ryo. And three, if you'd like to help out with certain fan submissions, being "Oops!", "Things TMM Will Never Say", or "You Know You're Obsessed When..." let me know?

Things that still need to be updated: Fanart, graphics, fanfiction, and the like. Please be patient.

[Previous] Platinum Blonde and Beautiful Disaster have been moved. There was an issue with the server, so if you were a member of the Shirogane Ryou fanlisting, you'll have to join again. I'm incredibly sorry for this. =/ It's annoying for me, too. The new home for the Ryouness is [ here ]. I'll try my best to have the update up Thursday. If not, it'll be next week since I'll be at Anime Mid-Atlantic with my friends all weekend. So, if you're going and happen to see Honda Tohru, Momomiya Ichigo/Shirogane Ryou, and Full Moon/Isabella (from Paradise Kiss) together, um, that's not us. ^^; I scare easy... ._.; Also, if anyone has YIM I thought maybe we could have a TMM conference every once in a while... yes, with microphones if you have them (haha, like I ever say anything. x-x). If you're at all interested, you can add ryoushirogane to your list and I'll see if I can arrange it. *shrugs*

05/21/05 - Two weird sound files that are the result of hyperness under the Kokoro newscast section, only these two were done by myself and Rath. Fear us.

05/18/05 - Episode 52 (two parts) online.

No update. The reason I haven't updated is because I'm really busy. I just moved everything out of my college dorm about two weeks ago, and last week I worked two days at the flower shop doing the dirty work. Yay for bleach. Also, I finally sent my laptop in to get the keys fixed, so I had to move all my multimedia, site work, and everything else off of it to disk in case they have to reformat it. Why in the world they would have to do that to replace the dumb mutated keys is beyond me, but anyway. The only real news besides Tarb's gosh-dern-awful dub voice is my planning for the anime convention. Dum dum dum... and that's something most of you won't care too much about since you probably don't live near Richmond, Virginia. If you want to see what it's looked like for the past two years, you can see the pictures under goodies > tips and tricks > anime con 101. As for my costume, I finally got some black shoes to go with it. I just need to tack the apron and make the ears, and other silly things like practice being Ichigo-like and attempt karaoke. I'm getting a bit too into it... and I've actually convinced my mom to let me dye my hair. We'll see how that turns out...

+ [Umi wo Miteita - Tokyo Mew Mew] - this actually happens to be my favorite song from the series.
+ [Love Chronicle - Full Moon wo Sagashite] - another nice pretty, slow song.

+ [Jump5 - Dreaming in Color]
Currently working on a subtitling project which should be done early next week. After that I'll pick work on episode 02 of the fandub and the TMM/MMP parody back up. Now that MMP has aired, a script shouldn't be as much of a problem since there are plenty of things I can make fun of. ^^;; All in good fun, mind you. If you have any ideas, though, please let me know about them, as I'd like to include them in the parody. I'd kind of like to do something for Kokoro, but I'm not entirely sure yet, and I'd have to get the "go ahead" from everyone else involved. On that subject, though, I added a bunch of new Kokoro-related links and started on a list of characters. I noticed last week some confusion about "Who's Mushi?" "Kyr-who?" so maybe that'll help a bit.

05/04/05 - I finished "Dreaming in Color". Celebrate with meh. ._.; Also, I only have one more exam to go. Yay! Then I'll be free~ that is until I'm forced into a summer job. Bleh. But I need moneh~ You can so tell how sugarhigh I am. Anyway, I updated some Kokoro linkage stuff. I'll be on dial-up after tommorrow, but I'll try to weed out some broken links and stuff. And I really need my judges to help me out with the remaining categories... Oh! Last thing! Any responsible individual who would like to help mod the forums... I need you. I NEVER visit my own forums, which is sad but true, so let me know if you're interested. With school over, though, I can work on my site and other projects uninterupted... And I can draw to my heart's content again too. -^^-

+ Ameagari no tenshi - sung by Junko Minagawa who voiced young Ryou (ep. 36); She sings pretty~
+ Ashita Habataku - sung by Canna Nobutoshi aka Pai! (*heart* He's like my favorite seiyuu ever. >.<)
+ Infinity - sung by Hoshi Souichirou who voiced Seiji (ep. 09)

And the reason the music videos are down is because people keep hotlinking them and using them without permission. I'm going to upload my better ones to animemusicvideos.org. If you really want me to put up a video of yours, find some place to host it and I'll just link you (freewebs is too slow, though). I've gotten a ton of submissions, and I hate turning people down, but I don't have time to upload a ton of videos somewhere, so...

04/29/05 - Mini Mew (sidekick), Zoey (direct hit), and Dren (villain) compete in the "1st Annual 4Kids Awards" sweepstakes. So many toothpicks... deleted scenes updated.

04/28/05 - Voting for IDOL comes to a close this evening. I think nyan-nyan.org died... *sweatdrop* If so then I lost all 77 people who had signed up for the fanlisting, but I still have all the files from Platinum Blonde. I have temporarily moved the shrine to my university account which is accessable here.

04/26/05 - Tagboard down because some smarties kept cursing on it. Please realize little kids visit this site and they do not need to see stuff like that. Honobono released episode 46 yesterday, which was really good. I loved it. That means the episode guide has been updated and a small version is up for download, but if you can, I suggest you go retrieve the DVD quality version as it's well worth it. Thanks Mew_Starlight, as always, for being so nice and sending me the eppie. I got some con/cosplay pictues back up as well.

04/25/05 - Episode 09 and a Combo of 10-11 up for Tokyo Mew Mew and 18 and 19 for Full Moon.

There is hope. In a recent interview, Kahn of 4Kids Entertainment stated that they planned to release uncut versions of their titles... eventually. I really hope this is true. Maybe if we keep reminding them that Tokyo Mew Mew fans exist they'll be convinced enough to actually do it. Anyway, the article is on this site. I read about it as TMM LJ, by the way. Also, reguarding the fandub, Koinu was casted as Pudding. Merle is currently rummaging through the Kisshu auditions, so maybe we'll know something soon. In the meantime... *stabs Movie Maker* my music video for the anime convention might not be airing at the convention unless I get this useless program to save it without these little line-things and without messing up the audio. -_-+

04/24/05 - OMG. O.o;; Our fandub has made it all the way to Honobono Fansubs... *shrinks into the shadows* Look, Spice, look! Your singing is famous! =D *nod nod*

Here's what they wrote: 24 April 2005 - Tokyo Mew Mew Fandub (blooper real) This fandub is not our project (although possibly based on our script), but is interesting. I happened to get a WMV clip called bloopers_01.wmv, where someone (obviously not a Japanese speaker) was trying hard to sing TMM ED. fandub_kara.zip (3.2MB)

I'm gonna try to upload the large version again. Since episode 02's been on hold, we're trying to think up a side project. As for the parody, I'll get back to that in May... by then Zakuro/Renee will have appeared and there will be plenty of things to point out. I still can't believe they're trying to edit out every single cross in the show... makes me mad. >.<;

04/23/05 - Two more game images, probably the last two since I beat the last two sets of levels and don't know how to earn any more of the images. ._.;*sulk*

I was rather amused with how they flipped the entire scene with the car (and then forgot to flip it back when there was a scene with the photograph), but overall I liked that episode quite a bit. I even thought the new insert song was nice, much better than that "Animal Instict" crap they play with the choppy transformation footage. And the only really weird dialogue besides the mention of linguini by Kiki, was Mark on the phone, saying: " "a bunch of posers who think they're all that..." Oh, it's sooo American. Bleh. x.x; So the deleted scenes are updated with today's episode. Be ready for Hollywood Mew Mew. Yes, next week's episode title.

Rejoice with me, I finally beat another level in that stupid puzzle game (I'm so bad at it...), so there's one new game picture. Shiny. ^^b I also posted some new-ish fanart of mine and weeded out some of the older drawings and ones I wasn't particularly happy with. *shrugs* Because it's an easy update.

04/22/05 - I honestly couldn't stand to have the site down anymore... I won't be updating much til summer, though. For now, I did fix the tips & tricks section with website-building suggestions. Please help us out by casting your vote for Tokyo Idol. Speaking of which, I'd like to do a group round for fun. No prizes, no judging, just for fun, and for the people who didn't get submissions in on time. You can grab anyone you want and sing whatever song you want. You can grab me if you're so daring. X-x I can't sing too good. For people over the net, you'd just both have to record the song seperately and then overlap the two files. You can do that in Sound Recorder, and there's a way to do that in Movie Maker as well, if anyone wants me to explain how. Also, I finished a rough version of my music video for the anime convention. If anyone wants to download it and give me commentary and suggestions for improvement, it can be found on my university webspace. Some people have had trouble getting it, though. x-x

+ Full Moon - New Future - Not much to say, first FMwS ending theme. Myco has such a pretty voice~

[full metal panic - karenai hana]
[full moon wo sagashite - i love u]
[inuyasha - every heart]
[saint tail - koi no tear blend]

04/16/05 - Missed MMP today, but my mom taped it for me and I can get it from someone else later. I hear it wasn't all that bad. I'm moving all the crap on Corina to the blacklist so you don't have to hear me whine and complain about it up here. Her anti- sites were deleted. I'll get the Tokyo Idol entries posted tonight (they're down currently), while I'm waiting on a couple entries. I have two for Keiichiro now, still only one for Masha and none for Pie. Voting begins Monday.

+ Aqua - Lollipop (Candyman) - Used in my crazy Keiichiro music video which is currently offline. It's so wrong, yet it's so incredibly catchy... XD
+ Tsubasa Chronicle - Loop - The ending to the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle anime. I think this file that's going around the internet here was a radio rip.
+ Bleach - Life is Like a Boat - Sung by Rie Fu. I love this sung to death and am trying to learn the rest of the lyrics. One little curse word in there, but it's not aimed at anyone. I think it's a really beautiful song and it reminds me of Ryou or RxR.
+ Inuyasha - One Day, One Dream - *shrugs* It's got a nice beat. ^^ I like practically all of the Inuyasha songs.

I'll have episode 08 of TMM up, and episodes 04 and 05 of FMwS soon.

Tokyo Mew Mew 08

04/15/05 - Regarding Tokyo Idol... I still only have one submission apiece for Keiichiro and Masha and NONE for Pie. This is the last night to submit, however, if I don't get any more submissions for these three, I leave them open until Sunday (the 17th). If your email doesn't go through for it, try sending entries to shiroganeryou@yahoo.com.

You know, I've really had enough of this stuck up little brat... You can't make an anti-site and then steal all the stuff from the site you're against. That is just so incredibly stupid. Corina, I really hope you realize that you're the hater here and not me. I've given you fair warning and you just continue to leech stuff from the rest of the Tokyo Mew Mew fan community. I seriously tried to be nice about it. I even explained to you why theft and direct-linking are bad. You're a thief and a person with no life. Get a grip. Well, now I'm giving you the attention you wanted. Go visit Corina's dumb site and feel free to flame her as much as you want. Sign her up for a spambot if you want. Maybe one day she'll figure out that what she's doing is wrong and move on to do something that'll actually benefit people. CORINA'S LAIR OF DOOMNESS! And no, I'm not saying I'm some perfect goody-goody either. I know I can be bratty and vengeful, but I'm not the person who's stealing stuff from others, here. --;

04/14/05 - Yes, I moved everything just to confuse you... =P

Some of the songs by the Tokyo Mew Mew seiyuu... And by the way there's really no point in stealing these links since they expire after 7 days. *cough* >->;
+ Sotsugyou M - Otanoshimi wa Kore Kara da! (Daisuke Sakaguchi) - O-o Um, if Kisshu actually sang like this... Cherry thinks she'd keel over dead... >D
+ Yu Yu Hakusho - Hohoemu no Hakudan (Megumi Ogata) - She voices Kurama (Masaya in TMM). Ain't it pretty? ^^ I think everyone has heard this song before, though, since it's the opening...
+ Fushigi Yugi - Mecha Hajikete GATTSU Tobashite (THTC) - Cherry used to lurve this song. It's all the really cool guys from this series singing together. ^^; I think you can notice (Hikaru Midorikawa) Keiichiro's seiyuu (the first person who sings - disregard dialogue) and there's also (Canna Nobutoshi) Pie's seiyuu (the third singer and the person who yells "We are THTC!"). The other two voices... the deepest voice belongs to Koyasu Takehito (2nd), the highest (who na no da's) is Seki Tomokazu (4th).

Other news...? I got to pet a Jafera (sp?) wildcat and a Fennec fox at this exotic animal exhibit they had at uni on Tuesday. I have this huge things for foxes, so when I realized we could pet the animals, and that there was a fox who wasn't going to run away or rip my fingers off, I was so excited! *^^* Cherry got some really nice pictures too, which are on her DA account. Since people keep swiping stuff from me, I'm going to have to start fully signing and stamping my fanart and stamp my adoptions. I think it's the stupidest thing in the world that I have to do that... but yeah... there's not much else I can do about it. I'm going to take some other measures to try to restrict theft as well... dunno how, but I'll think of something or other. I hope to have some time to draw some more fanart and finish DiC tommorrow as well as update a little bit. Oh yeah, and I applied for a fanlisting... (you'd never guess which one either x.x) I know some of you are getting fed up with me. I'm sorry. O.o; But I have three... well, now two... weeks of school left before I have summer vacation. After that, my mom's trying to get me a summer job and I'll be back to dialup until late August/September.

04/12/05 - When I'm in a bored mood I like to send people - and listen to myself - music. O.o A bunch of people ask me for songs, expecially ones I've used in music videos and stuff, so I thought I'd post a few songs I like. I won't bother with the "24 hour and delete it" crap because I know people never do that. O.o; Anyway... music... non-TMM...

+ Go Go Dance (Go Go Girls) - My friend Amaya and her friends did a para-para dance to this song. It's really fun and jumpy. ^^;
+ Eternal Snow ~Route L. version~ (Full Moon wo Sagashite; Takuto) - I only wish this guy had sung more. I liked his version of "Myself" better but that's not in the OST...
+ Junshin (St. Tail) - A pretty yet sorrowful song which is the first St. Tail ending.

04/12/05 - The fanart and stuffs should be working now. I'm almost done with that. I also revamped the Minto gallery, but I had to temporarily remove the Masha and Pie galleries to make room. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more stuff done on Wednesday or Friday, but I have a pretty hectic week ahead of me. If you're planning on entering Tokyo Idol (the deadline is Friday), please think about entering as someone BESIDES Ichigo... So far I don't think anyone has entered for Pie, and Kish, Masha, and Keiichiro so far only have one entry apiece. I know I'm behind on updating that too. Sorry. April calendar up. I actually recieved two from other people so I posted them as well...

Con update: Amaya said she can go to AMA with me for sure, so yay! ^-^ Now if I can only get Rath to go... ::starts nagging::

04/10/05 - Go listen to Renee's transformation music. O.o Weird yet... catchy. There's a clip up on 4Kids.TV, but Koinu was the one who posted the link. And yes, they're editting out her cross necklace so it looks like a random necklace. --;

04/09/05 - If I truly am your homepage, and Mew Mews Forever is your website, for the love of all things cute and furry, PLEASE take off my fanart, my adoptables, and the music videos off the site. You don't have permission to use them.

+ TMM episode 07

I cannot believe they said Kikki was from a shelter. O.o; That is just... weird... =_= I also liked it better in the Japanese when Kisshu/Dren said he was an angel. That was funny, although it was still a little humorous here. And Bridget was mean when she was holding Kikki back. O.o Looked weird when they froze her henshin too. "Look at me, I'm a flying monkey on a white screeeeen!" What's up with the veggie drinks anyway? But, I liked her music and there was one part where I laughed... in a sorta good way. Kikki: "Tip please!" Zoey: "Okay, never do drugs and stay in school! ^^" WTC? XD

04/06/05 - Shameless pluggage. ^^; Check out the music video my hostess FORCED me to make because I asked her for this song. O.o; I know it's Akasaka's song, but I swear the lyrics fit this perfect. XD Run away! OH BOY... what has Cherry done this time? Yay for high quality. e-e; And this basically goes out to all the rabid fans... yes, RABID, the ones that scare me... you know who you are. Oh yeah, and if you don't like a certain black-vested, red-collared character, you wouldn't want to download it.

04/06/05 - Yesh. New layout. I know there's absolutely no evidence for such a pairing, but I've seen it, and I thought it'd be funny to have Kisshu drinking tea. So, I'm sorry if you dun like it? x.x The next three layouts will be LettucexRyou, PuddingxTart, something random for my birthday, and ZakuroxKeiichiro or ZakuroxPai for the remainder of the year... assuming I'm still up for it. And another thing regarding the fandub... O.o The girl singing the ending song is not me. O.o It's Spice, the girl who plays Ichigo. ^^; Why do people assume it's moi? Just curious. But... this is me singing it! Rawr! O___o;; And yes, I threw in the blasted speech... and no, I can't really keep up with the cats as well as I thought.

04/02/05 - Not too much to say today. They made the pianist Spanish, and while she and Mark spoke that language well, Wesley (and Elliott) sounded really awkward. Haha. XD Besides that, she doesn't even look Spanish... A bunch of pointless scene cuts for time. I'll go re-watch it later to see if I missed anything, but things were mostly as they were, and I even got an "awww~" in when Elliott fixed Zoey's bangs and said something like "There, now everything's perfect." Also, did you hear this part? Episode 102 - Elliott to Zoey: "You know, wearing that costume, you'd almost think you were cute." Episode 106 - Zoey to Elliott after pan-up of him in his white tux: "You're almost cute..." (Cherry's addition - Zoey: *thinking* "Oh man, Zoey, who are you kidding? Elliott's gorgeous and even he knows it.") Let's give Zoey a round of applause. Sending five people to the emergency room during the macarena is an impressive feat. =P Overall, I guess I liked it, since it is one of my favorites anyway. More later.

04/01/05 - it s h@r|) to tYp3 n 1337. j00 hav ben Apr1L f00lz3|). ^^; I got messages from about 34 individuals who fell for it, too. Please don't hurt me. X-x;; No there are ultimately no new updates here. I added a section for imagery songs and two new game pictures, but that's it. And CMM is back up, so yay!

03/31/05 | A note from Anna-Louise regarding the Cafe-MewMew.Com Forums: "The forum will be back up on Fri. However, it is moving to a new domain of its own, which there is no point joining yet as it will be written over with the old database. So, for a few hours on Friday the forum on cafe-mewmew.com will be locked so I can transfer the database from the cafe-mewmew.com old forum to the new domain." That means on Friday the forums should be back, but you won't be able to post anything for a few hours while she moves them to a new location, if you didn't get that.

03-30-05 | Episode 107: "Monkey See, Monkey Mew", I so called it guys! I'm a genius~! *cough cough* My friend Scott burned all of "Full Moon wo Sagashite" for me, and I finally watched the first three episodes, and OH MY GOSH I LUV IT! I have a feeling it's going to be next next Tokyo Mew Mew... X-x And for the record, my favorite is Takuto. *waves flag* Yay for the kitty boy Shinigami! And yes I realize this is sort of following a pattern... >.< I posted episode 06 of TMM and 01 of FMwS for previewing purposes. Joined some more fanlistings. I also got some more awards. o.o; Arigatou. And btw Reiko-chan, I scanned and captured my own images, I didn't collect them (unless they were donated or are fanart or graphics submitted by other people). I'm actually really proud of that. ^^; I see my screencaps around a lot. And Chapter 15 of Dreaming in Color is DONE. Woohoo! ^o^ Finally. x-x;; I posted chapter 14 a few days ago, all that's left is the epilogue. Tokyo Idol updates are ongoing. I never say when I update those. O.o So check 'em out.

As a note, these two sections are backlogged, so no sendies, please: Guest Music Videos and Oops. Don't send me anymore right now! Please, I beg you! They're taking over! Make them go away! >.< Okay, I'm done now. ^^; I also finally got my e-mail account down to 170-something... *twitch*

And as for Cafe-MewMew.Com, it seems the site has exceeded bandwidth again. I think because so many people go to the forums - that's my guess - so it's not working right now... And since it isn't my site, I have no idea when it'll be back so please quit asking me. I'd gladly tell you if I knew.

03-26-05 | Downloaded some games from Mew Team, and they are so dang fun and addicting! X-x One is the GBA Puzzle Game (official) which I added screencaps of, the other is this nifty little shooting/puzzle game that's a lot like some of those old timey arcade games, where you're Kisshu and you have to fight off red data animals, the Mew Mews, and Masha's there too. I download a lot of stuff off that site, and I'd say it's worth a visit. And you can still basically figure stuff out whether you know Italian or not. Gonna update more later when I decide to brave the 200-some e-mails in my inbox...

(Previous) I get to pick now, yay! Predictably, they cut the Shirogane fanservice short. For any Elliott fans, this is one of the pretty pictures you didn't get to see. But then, why would you be a fan when so far Elliott's been even more of a jerk then he was in Japanese? A lot of his lines were changed... like, they didn't *make* him go to the competition in Japanese... X-x; ::cough:: Posing for himself? Kid sister? Yay, happy thoughts... =_=; Zoey actually got better at meowing, but at what cost? Mark shows up and it sounds like music from an old romance movie, and the image songs are definately getting worse. Bleh. Lyrics need help, nyan. And now Zoey's got everyone chanting that ridiculous "Mew Mew Grace" crap. And was it just my recepetion, or was there a really rough transition in Bridget's transformation? X-o; I'm done I think... I'll update the scene cuts when I'm able to watch the episode again, but overall, it seemed pretty intact and very much like the original.

03-25-05 | Eesh, you people were waiting for this right? Episode 05 of Tokyo Mew Mew. How much you wanna bet a lot of Shirogane-ness is going to be removed? And that blazing sunset was so pretty, too. >P And by the way... Zakura... you are so awesome. *-* No more direct-link thieves. Yatta! *glomps* =3

03-24-05 | Thanks for the headache medicine and for being there for me guys. I feel really... special. (Really. I also feel like I have an army. X-x) *salutes* And by the way, I'm still convinced that all this girl wants is attention. -_- However, I will explain the entire situation for the sake of ranting. The site in question was this one: The FAKE Neko Tokyo. Basically they direct-linked my awards, wallpapers, and other graphics, and copied texts and links from the series summary page and from multimedia pages. They copied character bios and direct-linked Cafe Mew Mew's fanart, stole graphics from Love Arrow. She even stole the lyrics and welcome paragraph from this page and said the site had "moved". Anyways, one person reported the site to me, which is how I found out. When others supposedly hacked into the account, password being 'minto', they deleted everything. Since no one thought to change the password, I went into the account myself. The e-mail listed was the EXACT SAME e-mail as the girl who told me about it. If the password hadn't been changed, no one would change the e-mail, so I'm led to believe she had part in it. I have no solid proof, but that's what I'm led to believe. However, since I don't know, I can't rightly flame her. Then I deleted the account, which I formerly referred to as "a piece of trash", which it is because it was made up of stolen content. Anyway, this girl says this other girl named Corina made the site, and indeed this "other girl" e-mails me threatening to do worse stuffage to me, and sends me a link saying "put this on your blacklist!". The link doesn't work. So, what do I think? That a person or a group of people is up to no good and just want publicity and attention. The whole thing is selfish and childish in my opinion, and very much wrong. u.u So, I have two e-mails and no clear explanation. They both use "Re:", and Corina has never e-mailed me before... so why would she use "Re:"? *tilts head to the side*. Thus, I am left to wait. ~-~; The question is moreso, what do you guys want me to do about it? I have an e-mail address here that you're more than welcome to flame, but that isn't going to stop the situation. -.-; On that note, I'm going to start cleaning up the site. Hopefully that Kisshu layout will be coming soon, and at the very least an update is due this weekend. I'm also willing to have "staff" called scouters that go around searching for link-worthy TMM/MMP sites as they pop up, and also to be like thief-police for sites with stolen content.

I revived the tagboard yesterday too. Please use it, but don't abuse it. I've also gotten some entries for Tokyo Idol, which looks like it's going to be a year-long event. Go listen to the singing. So that ends my speech, let's go get some cake.

03-23-05 | Episode 106 Title: "Party 'til You Mew" Oh Masha help me, I'm gonna die. x-x I thought my titles were way wittier. *screams* Okay, now that that's out of my system. Um, Masaya x Ichigo music video? Clickies here.

03-21-05 | Eek. Quick note. For the contest, I've decided if you want to, you can sing in a group. I know I probably wouldn't sing myself since I'm shy, so maybe that will encourage some of you more self-conscious folks to enter. I haven't decided on what to do for prizes yet. >.o; Suggestions? E-mail them to me. ^^; Also, I finally finished chapter 13 of my fanfiction, which is almost complete. Three more updates to go. Just three more and I can start on... another fanfiction. >.<

03-19-05 | Another out-of-order episode. Cut scenes and comparison chart updated. I don't really have much to say about that episode because I never liked it to begin with. ^^; MMP Episode Guide Updated. Also, the contest page is up! Yay! Contest! So if you can sing at all, please be a nice person and enter! ^^ Sankyu. TOKYO IDOL. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me about being a judge, but I'm pretty sure I've got my two judges now. Gomen. But you still get to vote in the polls, and if this is a success, maybe I can do another contest in the future.

03-17-05 | Yesh, to all you people who didn't know what the heck was on the splash page for the past two days. That was me. >.> (Rath took the pictures *cough*) Note that my costume still isn't complete, but it's pretty close. The best picture was THIS ONE. Needless to say, the site's basically on hiatus for a while. >.o; I need to finish DiC! I needa, I needa! >.< I also have a contest for April! It should be fun. ^^; And I need two more judges for that! You need to have sound on your computer and be able to play sound files (mp3, wav, wma). If you're a judge, you can't enter. E-mail me if you want to be a judge and I'll pick two people. O.o;

On another note, I highly urge you guys to hop over to the Mew Mew Alliance and read the VA interview. It makes the whole production of MMP seem so much less far away, and it gives you an idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Also, these are people who honestly seem to enjoy what they're doing. I'd like to be a voice actress someday if I ever got the opportunity. So go read it, I think it'll broaden you view. Atleast it broadened mine. ^^ And whoever you are, thank you for answering some of our questions.

03-13-05 | Merf. =_= I've managed to NOT catch the flu from my roommate or anyone else, but I have an evil blister instead. x-x It's the most sick that I've been in a really long time since before school started in the fall. My costume's coming along great. I haven't done anything to it yet... my mom's doing the work really and I'm telling her how to do it. heh. x-x But it is so dang cool! >.< *rants about how she's gonna be the most awesome Ichigo/Zoey ever* *then gets attacked by rabid Ichigo cosplayers X_x* Um... yeah... but it should be pretty close to done by the end of this week, so I'll take a picture. I think mom'd even let me dye my hair a little, but I don't think I'm going to. On another note, I got the Jump 5 "Dreaming in Color" and Jesse McCartney "Beautiful Soul" CDs today, after looking elsewhere and not finding them. Because of you crazy people I might add. May make some music videos out of them if I get bored. I wanted to get two graphic novels, but they didn't have the next one I needed of the series I'm reading, so I didn't get any. Oh yeah, Ichigo's birthday is like, Tuesday. O.o

03-12-05 | Rant time. I didn't think it was all that bad today, and I didn't even realize most of the cut scenes until I went back and watched both versions simultaneously. Bridget didn't turn out as bad as I thought, but she lacks the shy sweetness that Lettuce had. Lettuce just seemed more compassionate and selfless. Kish still kisses Ichigo at the end, though some parts of that scene were removed. I was afraid they were going to delete the whole kiss. And they edited off the "100 KG" on the weight that fell on Zoey's head. That was English... even if it was a different measuring system than we use in America, we still use it in science classes, so why...? X-x Also, looks like Bridget's weapon got a name change, for better or worse. They also cut out the cute cafe scene at the end where everyone is smiling, and I just saw that at CMM too. =/ Oh well. Other than that, I liked the redo of her attack music. It still has that same sort of sound to it, which is cool. I wonder which (if either) of her attack names will stick. Hrm...

03-11-05 | I now know why there are no character CDs for the males of TMM,if this song is any indication. I had requested a song at Eien no Love Song, and unless someone else requested it (which I highly doubt), the webmaster put up my request for a Sakaguchi Daisuke song. So, um, go listen to what Kisshu would sound like if he sang and be glad that he doesn't... >.x; *gets mauled by Kisshu fans* I also rated them... but that's my opinion... so don't flame me for my ratings. And it was an unbiased rating too. u-u;

03-10-05 | Just when titles couldn't get any lamer. One of our favorite episodes with Kisshu, episode 04, dubbed: "The Lion Thing". WTC? O.o Any-nya, got some comparative pictures up, and some video clips from Mew Mew Power (and the injection scene which they cut out!). The actual MMP footage I got from centopiedi at the TMM LJ Community. Thanks so much for letting me use it. Bunch of new guest fanart and five new fanarts by me. Also episodes 03 and 04 are up for comparative purposes. Last little note, I can make mp3s now, yay!

03-06-05 | Well, they got character bios up for the girls on the 4kids.tv website. The way they overuse alliteration and try to make them sound all "hip and kool" is very degrading and insulting in my opinion. I don't want to know what they'd say about the others. They keep changing the spelling on Bridget and Kiki... I also find it funny that on the forums, the picture of Ryou says "Ryan" instead of "Elliott". *snick* So they're stealing pictures from the Italian dub? -.-; Any-nya, my episodes keep going bye-bye so I'm going to start trying yousendit. The only catch is links only last for a week, but the size limit is 1GB. This means I could put up episodes at a little bit better quality for a week without them getting eaten by Tripod. I hate to rant further, but you people have got to realize that I do have something of a pathetic life, and I'm not your maid. So quit nagging me about episodes and don't tell me to update more than I am.

03-05-05 | Mew Mew Power. Here goes my weekly rant. W00t! Okay, first off, you people at 4Kids NEED to teach your voice actresses how to scream! Corina's voice just seemed really "blah" to me. Like she didn't care about anything. She also sounded like a b~~~~~. -_-;; Elliott's a bit "blah" too, at times. Like I heard someone say, he sounds a little too bored. Zoey... reminded me of Excel from Excel Saga... when she gets worked up, her voice sounds awful. Otherwise, Elliott's explanation of everything inside the cafe was very accurate. Iriomote Wildcat was repeated, and "Mini Mew" was actually known as R2000 for 2.5 seconds. Yay! But oh-my-golly-gee that thing annoys the heck out of me. Its intelligence is not only truly "artificial", but it sounds like a Furby. O-o; We also got a shot of Wesley and his "gentlemanly charms" which were both impressive and frightening at the same time. Especially when he uses words like "smashing". X-<; Nobody REALLY talks like that, do they? All scene cuts were pretty much predictable and not really important. Corina's trans was cut at the beginning and end, but her attack seemed to be all there. Also the puns were cut down considerably, I think... thank goodness! I was actually doing it the other night when my roommate said "personally" (me: "purr-sonally...")... *cringes* But otherwise, I thought it was fairly good... and I missed the Bridgette commercial at the end. -_-;

About Zoey's mark being editted in the last episode, I think that was to make it a "surprise" in this episode. Just like making Elliott's hair blond when he was a shadow... I guess that was so we'd know 3 seconds earlier who it was. O.o I half-expected them to edit out the mistake of the Japanese animators and put Elliott's collar back on in that scene where they open the doors. What-ev-er. I'm done. I thought this was the best episode so far, though it isn't one of my favorites. Wonder what they'll do to Bridgette and Dren next episode. *twitch* I'm looking forward (mebbe) to the party, however, since I lurve that episode. And also... to see if Elliott shows up in the gymnastics episode at all. o.<;

Updated the Mew Mew Power sections: chart, deleted scenes, summary (which I basically just substituted names for), and also a summary for Episode 50 which I have now seen in Japanese. ^-^ Just need to hunt down episodes 46 and 47 now, and a high quality Japanese version of 51. The March calendar is up now, too.

03-03-05 | Updated the Mew Mew Power section slightly. I also got my AMA button up. I really want to go, and I'm seriously planning on going, if I can drag Amaya and Rath along with me. I'm going to attempt to enter the Anime Music Video contest as well, since a friend said he could convert a video for me, and I found out I can actually save things in .avi format. I'm so quick. *sarcasm* So I'm really nervous about that, needless to say. Anyways, hopefully I can help my mom get the bulk of my costume done over spring break, that'll just leave the hat, ears, and if I try to make another r2000 or r2004. An r2004 would be so adorable! XP

03-01-05 | O.o Everything actually looks *better* with all the navigation on the side... And it actually takes moving everything back for me to realize how many pages there are. *twitch* I think I'm going to keep pink as one of the colors indefinately so I don't have to go and change everything. >.o; We all like pink, right? New layout? I haven't even thought about such a thing! And I like this one... *sniffle*, but it's no longer February... Anyhow, the next layout (whenever the heck that is) will feature Kisshu. Because I'm in a weird "Kisshu is cool!" mood even though episode 45 scares me. XD Anyway, I'm sorry I'm so behind. I tend to put things off, and even though one of my exams got moved to next week, it's still going to be a busy week for me. And yes, I removed the tagboards. ~-~; They were cool and I loved checking them, but overall I honestly felt like they were being abused. If you really want me to go into a rant about why I took them down, I will, but otherwise I'll spare you. ^^; And thanks to Kish for quoting me. *coughcough* I'm glad atleast a few people read what I write, even when it has no purpose whatsoever. ^^; Notes... revamped the Lettuce gallery. ^^v I'm also up to chapter 11 of DiC (and I'm working on 12). And two new affiliates: Neko Bell and Royal Purple, one being a shrine to Ichigo and the other a shrine to Zakuro. I put "Plum" and "Hiko" by the two Kokoro sites for obvious reasons. I DO NOT own the web shrine or the RPG. I only own the chatroom where it all started and help moderate the RPG.

Random Pluggage: Mew Mew Abduction. You have to go read Hika's story. It's awesome. We must all join together and help Keiichiro and the others stop the ebilness of 4Kids! Woot! ^^; Besides, no one kidnaps Ryou and gets away with it. >->;

02-26-05 | RAWR~! I'm gonna kill 'em! >/ They left out my favorite episode 01 scene! ::whines:: Elliott needs to grab Zoey's chin! It's a rule! ;-; On the otherhand, did you hear Mark say "Iriomote Wildcat"?! Like wow! O-o;; I needa watch the episode again to make sure I didn't miss any of the cuts (that I swear are just because of air time) and what-not, but overall I thought it was an improvement. It was truer to the original script, but I must say that Zoey's voice actress is not very good at impersonating a cat. X-x; ::wonders if people from 4Kids ever visit fansites:: Hmm... Anyways, here's hoping they don't cut out more interactions between Elliott and Zoey (or any other pairing, I'll be nice), because that would totally suck, and you guys would have to hear me complain about it. ^^;

02-23-05 | Made the lyrics easier to find and grouped them together better, of those, the short versions of "Taiyou no Watashi" and "Glider" were added. DiC will hopefully be updated late tonight. Evil writer's block. x.x Episodes 02 and 45 up. Updated the episode guide slightly because of this. Frankly, I didn't like the episode much. ::twitch:: Masaya was cool, yes, but Ichigo is so totally oblivious to everyone else. Kisshu was cool until he went mad, and now I'm totally creeped out and afraid of him, and poor Ryou looked depressed throughout the entire thing. X-x It would have been cute if they showed Lettuce making him chocolate. >.> Or the other girls making chocolate. Ph33r the chocolate of Ichigo! Keiichiro had a nice part in this episode too, come to think of it. ::shrugs:: There's my rant for you.

02-22-05 | Added two of my fanarts and one guest fanart. I also added the short versions of the three different Mew Mew Openings to the multimedia section (wav format). Lastly, I uploaded a little music video project I did. It's actually based off a music video someone sent me, but I couldn't find the site where they got it. The music video was to several Ichigo pairings, but I thought it fit episode 06 really well, so I made my own video off of a few episodes which put Ichigo in a more Cinderella-like situation. Anyway, Mew Popsicle, this one goes out to you.

02-21-05 | Yes, it's finally happened. Cherry put up a blacklist. I really hate blacklists, but if people can't follow the rules, I have to. This site took up a very big portion of my life for the past year, and my information took forever to write up. And yes, *I* wrote it. Myself. It's not fair for people to just copy all that and build a site around it without putting forth effort. You can't call something like that "your" site, because you didn't make it. You stole it.

Thanks to you guys for reading my blaring messages not to e-mail me with complaints about MMP. I really appreciate that. Anyway, no real updates yet. I'll hit you guys with a bunch of new content at once, most likely.

02-19-05 | Made a section for deleted scenes and alterations and added a summary for the first episode. Go me.

... Oh yeah, I've seen it twice now, and watched episode 12 late last night. In all honesty, and I may be shot for this, but it wasn't quite as bad as I had feared it would be. I'd watching it again, willingly, even though the edit at the end was a piece of crap. XD I could use help on the cast. I have the names written down, but the only two I know are that Sean Schemmel plays Elliot and I've been told Mollie Weaver is Renee. I'll repeat Don't whine and rant and complain to me. Not on the tagboard, in the guestbook, via e-mail or AIM, I don't wanna hear your complaints. I really don't. Unless you have something intelligent to say, don't say it. x-x;

My opinions: The best voices of the bunch, I thought, were Zoey, Elliot, and Renee. The worst by far belonged to Mark. He sounds like a middle-aged man. The worst scene was the botched up ending scene. What's up with that? The part I laughed at the most was when Zoey called Elliot "Ellie". I thought it was cute in an evil sort of way. O-o; Some parts were true to the original, but some were way out there. The most annoying thing - the overuse of puns with the word "mew". Mew-tual. Mew-tamorphosis. No, no, no. You people at 4Kids need to get rid of all that. Not funny. Not cute. Dumb. VERY dumb. Blah. On the otherhand, it was watchable. Let's see how the next few episodes go...

02-17-05 | Uploaded a cafe-load of my old crappy music videos to rapidshare. I put a seperate section for directions with how to use the site. You can only download one per hour if it's hosted there, but a lot of the newer videos are hosted on angelfire or tripod with no limit. You'll also notice the slashes... I've decided that part of this site will have information on Mew Mew Power and the rest will be on Tokyo Mew Mew. This way fans of the dub will not be completely confused, and if they want to know more about the Japanese version, or the manga, it's right there within their reach. I'm also working on adding a bunch of the guest music videos I have gotten within the past month or two or four. x.x; The Mew Mew Power section is up, with some basic information and what I can only assume are the first three titles and airdates; and lots of room for expansion.

02-16-05 | You know what? I'm going to throw this out there now in hopes that everyone will read this... x.x DO NOT E-MAIL ME ABOUT MEW MEW POWER THIS WEEKEND~! Why? Because chances are, I am not going to want to hear it. I'm gonna watch it, I'll see it too, I'll either laugh or cry or say 'hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought' or what have you. The last thing I want is an inbox full of people's complaints and opinions on the show. I don't want it, don't send it, or else I'll flame you in a rage and delete your e-mail on sight. Gee, isn't Cherry a happy person? x.x; I'm just already tired of hearing about it... and it hasn't even premiered yet... so yeah. Please leave me alone about that one.

02-15-05 | Chapter 9 of Dic up; re-uploaded the blasted high quality version of the fandub. ^^;; Maybe it'll last a full day this time, though I doubt it...

I think I should give up on hosting the high quality version on yousendit. Nevertheless, I'll try to upload it a third time. Seems they limit bandwidth on links. Any-nya, updated guest fanart and added two of my own fanarts, and finally upped episodes 12 (so you can compare it to MMP) and 30. I'm still behind, so bare with me. If you sent in a music video, graphics, or oops, the likely reason it isn't up is the obvious - I haven't updated those sections yet. x.x;

02-14-05 | Re-uploaded the high quality version of the fandub. I might try to upload it multiple times (mirrors). It takes about the same time for me to upload it as it does for me to transfer it via AIM. If you have AIM and a fast connection (DSL or whatever it's called) you can message me at Platinum Ryou and I'll send it to you. Do not message me after 9PM Eastern, or if you have dial-up, because I will say no. x.x Happy Valentine's Day by the way. It's supposed to be the day of love and friendship, but it seems to be a couple holiday to me, and since I'm not part of a couple, I sort of hate it. X-x; On the bright side, my mom sent me a package, and my cat, Jake, sent me carnations. ^^; I actually got 13 instead of a dozen because there was an extra. I get to go home this weekend to watch Mew Mew Power~! ::shiver:: This had better be decent... ~-~; I'll also hopefully get to hang out with Rath and Amaya, and my neko, so yay! I'm debating whether to make an seperate MMP section for the site or not. I already thought up a lame dubbed version of the site's title. >P And... if the three of us can arrange it, I plan on going to Anime Mid-Atlantic again this year, since I'm not making it to Katsucon. Spent my money and a few other issues. I need a paying job. ::rants:: Oh well. My costume's like 1/4 done... Yes, I'm being Ichigo. Period. And I'm going to practice so I can stay in-character for 72 hours. Bwaha! And I'm gonna enjoy it, nya. XD Then again, I might break down and be Ryou for some of the time. Cuz it's fun also in a weird sort of way. Merf.

02-13-05 | All versions of episode 01 of our fandub is now online. I made a guestbook so you can leave your comments on the fandub in general, voices, etc, how we can improve, how much you liked it, whatever. I hope you'll all check it out.

Things TMM Will Never Say and Obsessed When... lists have been updated. Three new fanfictions added including one with a Valentine's theme. Also "Redemption" and "Dreaming in Color" have been updated.

02-11-05 | Character CDs up. Thanks Satashi for sending them. Episode 27 up. I'll have 30 and 12 up later, 12 so you can compare the original to Mew Mew Power, which will indeed air next week on 4Kids TV in case you somehow missed it. I actually missed the commercial today because I slept in until 12 (if anyone wants to describe it to me, go for it). e-e; Why? Because I'm putting final touches on the volume of the fandub episode 01 which will be available either tonight or tommorrow in both low and high (sort of high) qualities. Also, please don't send in any list submissions or fanfictions for the time being. Vixi's been in the hospital and the LAST thing she needs is to come back to a inbox full of people bugging her about submissions. She's sent me a lot of stuff that I just haven't gotten around to putting up yet. I'll be working on it, so be patient. Please. I'll update you guys later today.

02-06-05 | New layout up. I think it turned out really cute in a cheesy sugary way, ya know? ^^; I wuffs it. The navigation is in the hearts^.

02-05-05 | Oh my, lessee... I'm going so slow. Bah. x-x But I did add voice clips of some non-TMM songs sung by the Japanese voice actors for Masaya, Ryou, Keiichiro, and Pie, so you can get an idea of what they would sound like. Working on the new layout which will hopefully be up tommorrow in time for Ryou and Ichigo's wedding anniversary (which is tommorrow). ::gets attacked by people who don't support the couple:: x-x And, you can now actually join the Ryou fanlisting. I need to fix the styles, but it's functional. It can be found HERE.

02-04-05 | New Alto wallpaper added. February calendar up.

Jealousy and Real Emotion music videos were uploaded to rapidshare.de and are available for download.

02-03-05 | Snow day. ^^; Animated the Ryou, Masaya, and Tart adoptions. I also finally got chapter 7 of "Dreaming in Color" online. On the fanfiction note, gelatinoussugar's fanfiction, "Sleepover", was deleted and is going to be moved to the R section in a few days. I've actually been reading it for a while, and it's very entertaining. Yups. Will that work? ^^;; Since I have nothing to do tommorrow (atleast not to my knowledge besides taking a Biology exam and doing homework), I'll update then. New layout goes up on the 6th, assuming I actually draw it by then. ::cocks head to the side:: And I can pretty much guarantee that episode 01 of the fandub (low quality) will be available this month. A high quality version might appear later, but due to size, it'd only be available through Instant Messenger.

01-31-05 | Episode 44 summary and low quality version up. Please visit Honobono for the high quality version. It's well worth the wait for it to download.

01-25-05 | Mew Mew Love Power Max, Nya!.

Added a bunch of new music videos and updated the links page. Just recently we found out at Cafe Mew Mew that Ikumi Mia-san has her own website! And she just updated it a few days ago, so who knows what cool things she'll put up in time? Yesh, I thought it was spiffy. >3 I was also browsing a bunch of Japanese fan sites. Dang can those people draw! ::eyes bug out:: I'll be adding some of those links eventually, too. I mean, people from all over and all backgrounds have come here, so I have no objection to linking to a site in another language. It fascinates me to see sites from other countries. O.o I'll catch up with everything eventually... it seems like I'm behind on everything. Drawing, school, updating. Bah. I could probably go a month without updating and not feel guilty. But before you try to gouge my eyes out... I won't. O.o I'll let you know when I've caught up. In the meantime I can tease you with tidbits of information. >.>

+ Item 01 - I want to make a music video of "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" with a bunch of anime kitties (Rio, Alto, Kyo, Luna, etc...) but I don't have the song. So... I either A) need the sound file or B) need someone WHO CAN SING to send me the sound file of them singing the song, preferably to music. ^^;; C'mon it'll be fun! Ne?

+ Item 02 - Upcoming Contest. In like March-April. And I need a panel of judges. This means you won't be able to enter yourselves. To be a judge, you need to be able to possibly download media (.avi and or .wmv formats) and have a pretty fast connection. AIM transfer capabilities is a plus, but you don't have to have it. Might not need it. So... what's this contest about? Okay... you all CLAIM to be Tokyo Mew Mew fanatics, ne? So, we'll find out who of you are really Mew Mew material. I'm vague, yes. More info in the spring. XD

+ Item 03 - Last one I'll bother mentioning. Two in one. Basically, people with really spiffy graphics skills. I suck at graphics. x.x Anyway, I'm going to do calendar illustrations for Kokoro (January will be late), so I need someone to make the images into printable-sized prettyful calendars. And also, help designing the card game. ::nod nod:: Like card layout. I'm thinking of copying the format of the official TCG, but I don't know.

01-23-05 | Happy birthday to everyone involved in "Kokoro". The randomness has been part of our lives for a year now. Arigatou.

01-21-05 | Revamped the Zakuro (40) and Keiichiro (27) screencapture galleries. I was kind of surprised that no one pointed out that the high quality images were missing. Well, whatever. I also changed the picture on the layout. Yeah, it's crappy, but I'm going to put one up for February, and since that isn't very far away anyhow... Posted a few new music videos that I made. None are really spectacular. Changed the episodes page around. I've also been working on my fanfiction which is almost at chapter six. I'll update again later.

01-12-05 | New Ryou/Ichigo wallpaper. Didn't come out exactly like I had planned, but I kinda like it. The song is "Cinderella" by Smile D.K. Someone had sent me a music video of Ichigo/Masaya/Ryou/Blue Knight that they had found and it inspired me. It reminds me more of episode 06 than anything, however. The animated gifs are back up. You should notice a new one of Pie and Alto/Ichigo/Deep Blue.

01-11-05 | Got some sleep finally. Mwaha. Ofcourse, I really should learn to take afternoon naps. I was dragging in Biology. I updated my fanfiction, "Dreaming in Color" (shameless self-promotion, I know). It's written from Ryou's point of view and takes place about 3 years after the Mew Project. There are some flashback scenes that are re-told and new twists added, but mostly it's about what happens to him (and the girls), as they slowly find their way back to each other. You might notice a few elements from Kokoro. Yes, it's a RxI fic, but she hasn't show up at all yet. ::gets attacked:: O.x;; So, if you're interested, check it out and review as I get stuck on ideas easily. >.< I'm up to Chapter 4ish. Doesn't like to show up, so you might have to replace the /1/ in the URL with /4/ to view it. I felt generous and put up another episode that was on my computer. I also uploaded episode 01 of a series that might interest you called "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha", which a friend of mine works on, if you'd like to preview it. I already have the opening stuck in my head. 'Tish pretty.

01-10-05 | Ugh, no good. I hardly got any sleep last night, which was my first night back at university. I honestly tried to go to bed at 11, but even though I was tired, I couldn't sleep. Other than that, my day's been okay. Like you care. O.o On to the updates, right? Uploaded episodes 20 and 32. I also uploaded episode 43 which is really really good. O.o I left 42 in case you haven't seen the first part of it. And the two parts of episode 49. I saved these as two 20MB files, because my subtitles came out pretty badly. I'll replace them later if I can, so they are more visible. Credit goes out to Pikari of Strawberry Parfait for translating this episode. Either she or I guessed on a couple minor lines, but it should give you a pretty good idea of what's going on. Updated the anime summaries in respect to that, and some other minor updates around the site.

01-08-05 | Good grief, dusting out stuffed animals takes a long time. x.x Anyway, my mom wasn't really thrilled with Ichigo either, so we got into the normal "I could have made this" discussion, and ofcourse, I ask "could you?" This all boils down to the possibility that I'll be making plushies this summer. My mom's pretty crafty, and I kinda know how to sew, so... expect the birth of a Ryou plushie. If it isn't too much trouble to make, I might would sell them on eBay or something. I dunno. It'd be an interesting summer job. My mom still thinks I should babysit. -_-; What else in my life? Oh... I was being lazy so my mom started working on my costume. >.< ::whacks self:: But it's gonna look so totally cool! She almost has the top half done with the puffy sleeves and the lace and the collar. She just has to add the buttons and the bow. I think I'll still be in charge of the cat ears, headband, and putting the pink trim on the skirt and bloomers, though. The apron's gonna be a seperate piece...

Updated with a few fanart and list submissions again. I've been drawing, but nothing's finished.

01-07-05 | Bwahaha, Ichigo came today. ^^b Ofcourse, my dad wanted to see what I got... ::cough:: and I kinda lied and said I wouldn't show it to him. He asked if she was it and I said "no", but I'm pretty sure he figured it out (note: he dislikes anime "junk"...). --;; He also asked if it was the right thing and/or what I expected, and I said I knew what it was, so yeah... My only complaint about the cafe version is the obvious - her hair is the wrong shade, but then all of the cafe plushies are like that. The other thing that's kind of funky is that her bell is huge, whereas the bow is teeny. O.o I still like her though, plus you have to realize she's a plushie and "supposed" to look weirded-ed, no? o.o; I'm wondering why she has a hook... I'm not gonna hang her. x-x;; So, I'm wondering if I should snip it off or leave it. Anyways, I sent the money on Friday, then there were the holidays, and she came on Friday. I'd say that's pretty dang impressive. Kudos to you, Tu-san. Also, got to have Rath over. ^^; It was funny. I had gotten up 10 minutes before the bell rang. O.o Then we basically watched music videos and stuff and made fun of few scenes from episode 42... and the RP... >.> (in a nice way, mind you.) So we were plotting. Yesh. Plotting. >.> ::still hyperactive::

I guess it's my job to officially announce to anyone who missed it, though I get the feeling that I was the last to know. Tokyopop is to release Volume One of "A La Mode" on June 7th (although you might find it a week or so before that). The only difference I know of so far is that the Saint Rose Crusaders have been shortened to "The Crusaders". Also, Honobono said on their site that the fansub of episode 43 should be out in a few days. This is the continuation of episode 42, where Zakuro leaves.

01-05-05 | I'm going to have a really hard time putting "05" at the end of everything now. Anyways, some real updates. The fanart section should be up to date, now. All guest fanart, except that I posted the Christmas layout image. I'm going to be limiting it to TMM art only from now on. Sorry if this causes an inconvenience for anyone. I also updated the list and fanfiction submissions that were sent to me. I guess you noticed my little R2004 sprite. ^^; You can adopt him if you'd like. Just be sure to follow the rules on the adoptions page. Finally, got the recommendations section started and up, which summarizes other series you might enjoy if you're a TMM fan. Feel free to send in summaries of other series, if you'd like. Got some new wallpapers up as well, by Kurayami.

As a heads up, Kokoro will be a year old as of the 23rd of January. That's when the 1st TMM roleplay took place in my chatroom. Wow, huh? =P I've gotten atleast one request about this, so I tried to summarize the events in Kokoro and added some basic rules. New episodes around the beginning of next week, although I ask people to stop requesting episodes, unless I ask, because it's getting a bit ridiculous. If you look under merchandise, I believe I posted links to several other places and methods where you can get episodes. I still have not updated "oops" or the graphics section. I don't know when version 6 will be up. I'm guessing sometime later this month...

01-01-05 | Thanks to Zakuro101 for agreeing to make the calendars. January is now up.

01-01-05 | As a heads up, the roles of Moe and Miwa in the fandub are open again. Also, if you can make your voice sound like a middle-aged guy's voice, please contact me because there's a line that still needs to be done. Please check out the fandub group or Cafe-MewMew.com/Forum thread for more information on auditioning. Episode 01 should be out in January, depending on how things work out. New affiliate, Blue Bird. Please visit Lani's prettyful shrine to Aizawa Minto.

Please give me some time to catch up on all the e-mails I've received. And please don't take it personally if I don't reply to you. I'm really bad at replying and right now my inbox is over half full (that translates into 145 e-mail, 90% of which are TMM-related). And with the episodes too, since I am now AT HOME with the demonic thing known as dial-up, it takes much longer to upload things. At college it was no problem since it'd only take 10-15 minutes, but here it takes 1-2 HOURS. With that said, I've decided that I'll no longer host guest music videos on the site. I'll be happy to post a link to your video, but from here on out, I won't be uploading them to my accounts.
+ Other discontinued sections: Rants, Monthly Calendar (unless someone would like to make them for me, I have a template)
+ Updated sections: Staff Info, FAQ, Poll, Episodes (01,19,33,38), Wallpaper, Adoptions (Neko-Ichigo animated), Ichigo and Zakuro Bios. A few other minor updates. I'll try to get caught up before I return to college. (01/10) I've also decided this month that I'll be giving out a few awards to sites I feel deserve them. ^^ This'll completely be based off my opinion and it's nothing you can enter. I'll just go TMM net surfing. Gotta warn you my graphics stink horribly, but nevertheless... x.x

Lastly, I won't be going to Katsucon. We couldn't get 10 people, and I never sent the money. x-x Plus my costume probably won't be ready in time. And... I kind of depleted my funds by buying more issues of Wild Act and an Ichigo plushie. ::cough cough:: IT'S NUMBER 12, MASUME! ^^v (actually, it's number 1. ^^;;) So I'm gonna see if Rath and Amaya will go with me to Anime Mid-Atlantic (Richmond, VA) in June. O.o So I'll be Ichigo there. Hopefully. And I'll have a mini Ichigo to take to Plushiecon. ^^

Happy 2005, minna. The next layout will be of Aoyama and Neko-Ichigo (and maybe Rau too). If you have an issue with me drawing the layouts, let me know and I'll use a color image from the manga. O.o

You may know avert your eyes. I'm done ranting. >.<

12-15-04 | Switched the layout around. I hope you don't mind that I used the picture I drew you, Masume. I thought it came out really good. For the record, top to bottom: Kisa, Masume, and Ami Shirogane (with r2004). No takies my children or I will bite you, and I mean it. ::growls:: >.>; I also added the snow from a code at dynamicdrive.com. I had to remove it from the main page because it was slowing everything down, but I left it on the splash page.

12-14-04 | New episodes up, as well as the parody cast. Thanks to all who auditioned, and if you didn't get picked, there's always next time. If this turns out well, I'd like to do an animated version of some of the "Things TMM Will Never Say". I'll be working on finishing up the script Thursday and Friday, so my part should be finished by next week. I hope... Editting is really fun. >.> Ideas are greatly appreciated, and I'm also thinking about doing an English version of the opening and ending themes (these are in the video clips), so if you would like to submit English lyrics to those that match up (you can change them and stuff) please do.

12-12-04 | As a heads up, Vanilla-chan is getting a new domain so Neko-Tokyo will soon be moving to another address. Finalizing the cast for the MMP parody. If I e-mail you, please get back to me ASAP so that I know you're still willing to take part. New episodes soon to go up: 5, 17, 18, and 31. Also, I'm really getting fed up with a certain poster on the tagboard. That is the worst way to get attention. You cannot call yourself the "best TMM fan" and the rest of us losers if you cannot understand simple principles like kindness. Tokyo Mew Mew is about teamwork and friendship. The girls encourage each other, and I think that's something that fans should also do. If you put others down and are hateful, then how can you call yourself a fan of the series? Hate me if you want to, I could care less, but don't take your negative feelings out on other people.

12-09-04 | There should really be a warning label on this site for me and last minute decisions. I've found my singer if she'll accept the part.

Posted episode 42, which is really awesome. For some reason the file saved funny so I had to go in and convert it to .avi in virtual dub, and then record and add the sound to it. ::shrugs:: The summary for it has been added in the episode guide. If you want to audition for the parody DO SO NOW. Unless you've contacted me about a late submission, voice auditions will be closed after tommorrow. Also added a lookalikes section after I finally looked up a picture I had seen.

12-07-04 | LETTUCE and PUDDING auditions closed because I found voices I was happy with. Congrats to Mew Okashi and Naomi, and thanks to everyone else who tried out for those two parts. All other characters excluding the above and Ryou are still open, as well as the singing audition. Thanks.

12-06-04 | Episodes 04, 06, 09, and 21 up. A note on the singing auditions... you can sing anything. It doesn't have to be from Mew Mew Power or from Tokyo Mew Mew. I'm going to be pretty busy this week and finals are Friday, next Tuesday (someone save me I have three of them then), and one on Wednesday. I'll be going home this weekend and for 3 weeks starting next Thursday (hopefully). Bought the rest of the TMM finger puppets off of eBay. A few of them I already have. I'm holding two, but if you would like the Lettuce finger puppet from me, let me know. None of my friends are very fond of her, so otherwise I'm stuck with two. My dad tore a muscle in his arm last week and will have to have surgery. He can still drive, but he won't be able to go back to work until after Christmas, so, I'd appreciate it (if you do so) if you might pray that his arm will heal quickly and correctly. Thanks.

12-04-04 | So sorry for the confusion. The fandub is not coming out today. The "04" is short for 2004. x-x; However... I could put together another scene teaser. Sorry about that. ^^;; I should have written it out all the way. I'll try my best to post an update later.

Found some lines we need for the fandub of episode one. All minor parts, but they're just as necessary. If you're bored, record one, two, or all, and send them to me. x-x

Girlish: All Rise.
Boyish (Kendo): Point! Match Over!
Middle-age Manish: That's the spirit! Keep it up and we might reach the national tournaments.

As for the parody, I've gotten lots of submissions. Thanks so much for that, and if you want to audition and haven't, it's still not too late! I'm also taking singing auditions and suggestions for a parody to the Mew Mew Power theme. Any other suggestions would be great as well.

12-01-04 | December is here~! Updated fan art (mine and a ton of submitted), graphics (lots of new icons), wallpapers, and links. One new award and a new affiliate - Fairy Tokyo Myu Myu. Go visit. ^^ Also, Hika sent in a bonus feature for the fandub. It's really great so you should go watch it. ^^b Still~ need Kish and Keiichiro auditions for the TMM fandub, and lots of minor characters are open as well. I'm getting lots of auditions for the parody as well. It's going to be a really tough call.

11-30-04 | Yay! All my evil projects are done, but that means finals are up. >.< Anyway, tommorrow will be the LAST DAY FOR SHORT STORY SUBMISSIONS for the fan manga contest. As I said, they can be in script or roleplay form, they do not have to be descriptive. So far I only have two entries. Also, as mentioned before, I'm looking for people to do voices for a Mew Mew Power Parody commercial (basically we make fun of the evil 4Kids dub... but it's meant to be funny, not mean). I'll post my progress soon. I have Ryou taken care of, but I need auditions for all five of the girls, and one of the other boys, aliens, or Masha if you would like. So, if you are interested by all means RECORD a few lines and send them through AIM or e-mail. I can't do much with you just saying you're interested, I need some actual voices. ^^; Follow the links above for audition lines or choose your own.

11-29-04 | Episodes 07, 23, 24, and 29 posted. Thanks for the votes on the poll. I believe I'll just break the fandub episodes down into two parts unless I find a better free host between now and then.

11-28-04 | Episode 02 Fandub Preview up. We are *still* in need of Kisshu auditions (and Keiichiro too). ::gets on knees and begs:: We need YOU! ^^; You'll be famous and are guaranteed lots of fangirls. Really! Okay, so that's actually a bad thing, but... anyway... x-x The real update comes later this week. Sorry ^^;

11-25-04 | Happy Turkey Day Everyone. No updates until next week, but in the meantime, I'm starting my own dub project for a 5 minute long Mew Mew Power protest parody commercial thing. So if you have a microphone, hate the name changes in MMP, and are interested, record a few lines and send them to me. I need Masaya, Keiichiro, and all five girls. If you nag me about a role, etc., I will disqualify you. So don't nag and realize that others will also be trying out. Ideas are also appreciated. I haven't written up an official script yet, but I'll keep you posted.

11-15-04 | Woohoo! After waiting like... over a month... @-@;; I finally got an e-mail back and have been approved to build and run the new Shirogane Ryou fanlisting. ::perky:: Once I can decide on a name and a layout (got ideas for that), I'll get that up and it'll be an extension off of Platinum Blonde (once I can log in to update it anyway). I don't think I'll be updating the site until after Tuesday, since I have a debate to finish (against cloning) and some watercolors to work on. I'm also starting work on a fanfiction. ::shrugs:: We'll see how long that lasts... ::has never finished a story in her life:: If you like writing, don't forget about the contest, the deadline for that is December 1st. More info in the updates below and also in the events schedule.

And my finger puppets came today. I hate to admit it, but Kisshu is the cutest of the bunch. ::gets attacked by rabid Kisshu fans:: o.<; Too bad they didn't have Shirogane.

11-13-04 | I'm gonna say this again. Please do not bug me about episodes. I'll change them every week or so, but then I will only put up episodes that I haven't put up before. Next time I'll try to get up episodes 7 and 24. However, once Mew Mew Power actually airs, I will no longer be posting full episodes. I've thought about putting up clips of deleted or edited scenes and there will still be the fandub. Also, please don't beg and plead repeatedly with me to send you stuff. It's kind of aggravating. x.x; And Aim is really my main option in the first place, although I'm assuming yousendit.com would work. You'd have better luck with me if you asked me nicely. And, I appreciate people sending me stuff, but the only episodes I need are the ones that don't have summaries up. 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 50. I have the rest in some size, shape, or form.

Lists updated, all other fan submissions I should get up before Thanksgiving break. Updated the events schedule. I will not be updating at all Nov. 20-27. Slow connection. Holidays. So don't expect anything during that time period. I'll be busy with finishing off my quilt, painting for class, and hunting down materials for my Ichigo costume.

On the site maintenance note: removed affies with sites that I know either closed up or are no longer being hosted. Contact me if I made a mistake or if your address has changed.

Final part of my rant, which should actually be the fun part... One is more of a search, the other is a CONTEST. Yay? Here's what I'm looking for:

Search: I'm looking for songs or song suggestions for a music video. I am more-or-less officially attending Katsucon (Feb. 2005). All weekend. If you are planning on going (haha)... tell me and I will look for or meet up with you (if you want that is). x-x; Anyways, I would like to enter a video in the music video competition (to Tokyo Mew Mew no less), and the more variety of songs I'm surrounded by, the better luck of me coming up with a really good idea? I either want to practice stuff with a) lots of mixed beats (dance-type music) and/or b) lip-sync. I don't really want a parody or all-out comedy, but I'd like to do something upbeat that could appeal to both genders.

CONTEST: You know that poll? Yeah, fanmanga won by a few votes, so... since I'm feeling uncreative... I'd like for some of you guys to try your hand at writing a short story (can be in play form) using whichever TMM characters you want (please no fancharacters). The one that I think is the best will be the one I draw out for the fanmanga. I want it to be about 5-10 pages drawn out if that helps. It can have a Christmas theme if you want, but doesn't have to. Basic rules apply. Keep it PG. Hugging and kissing are okay but nothing after that. O.o; No blood and no character bashing (with the exception of Francis >P). And when I say anyone, I mean anyone. Making a story about Ryou x Ichigo is NOT going to better your chances of winning as I will put my biases aside while judging. ^^;

Submissions for either of the above can be sent to me at ryoushirogane@yahoo.com Thanks.

11-11-04 | Updates in progress. Got three of my newer music videos up (Supergirl, TMM DDR Non-Stop, and the final super-long RyouxIchigo video) and archived some older ones. I'm getting a lot of music video submissions, so I'm going to start being more selective due to limited space. Unless you would like to upload the videos onto angelfire or tripod or something yourself, then I would gladly link them, otherwise I'm going to start being picky. Sorry about this. I'll catch up on fan submissions this weekend and maybe draw a little if I'm up to it. If you were the one who sent me a music video over AIM, please contact me. I forgot who it belonged to. Scatter-brain I am. x.x

Also, it's been announced that Mew Mew Power will not air until 2005, this means that we working on the fandub will probably beat them to the first episode. I think it would be super if we did, anyway. ^^; If you're interested in auditioning for a minor character, please contact Merle, Tsu-chan, or me (see the Yahoo site or CMM forums). If it's like a customer
