Update: Selena Gomez has already reached Japan as of Feb 2011, and Miley Cyrus has already reached the Philippines as of Jul 2011. Let's keep hoping for the others.
(Author's note: This song is not the same as Hannah Montana's version. therefore, it's not a cover of the original one but a new melody for Kamen Rider W. thank you for understanding.)

It's been announced last month that Tensou Sentai Goseiger will have a back-to-back movie with Kamen Rider W entitled Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Epic on the Movie. But until now, all promos and trailers shown doesn't include any footage from the movie itself and I do hope you also noticed that.
Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Epic on the Movie Synopsis: One day, two meteorites fall to Earth. Their true identity? The two remaining members of WarStar, who had been acting behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Arata meets a beautiful woman who introduces herself as "Rashiru." It seems Rashiru is a key to a seal that surpresses the evil of the meteorites. The Goseiger and GoseiKnight must join forces to stop WarStar, and then, a new robo descends...
GoseiWonder is Tensou Sentai Goseiger's movie mecha. It is called the GoseiMachine of Threat that flies in at the climax of the film. The 5 GoseiHeadders (BirdHeadder, KabutoHeadder, CrocodileHeadder, ElephantHeadder, DolphinHeadder) installed can separate, making it into 5 separate machines. Furthermore, it can achieve Tensou Gattai, becoming Wonder GoseiGreat.
Wonder GoseiGreat is the combined form of all 5 GoseiMachines seperated out of GoseiWonder, using "Wonder Combine." While it resembles GoseiGreat, its weapon is drastically different, wielding the "Gosei Bird Axe." Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Epic on the Movie's guest star is Sayaka Isoyama(previously seen on Gransazer) playing as Rashiru, a mysterious woman Arata meets, and who seems to have some connection with the meteorites that were taken to the museum. The only clue she leaves is the word "Ragnarok."
Ragnarok is in reality, the Ragnarok's Horn, a mysterious item that both the WarStar and Rashiru are after. Using this, the WarStar seem to be starting a plan for the ruin of Earth.
Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Epic on the Movie will open on Japanese theaters on August 7, 2010.
Episode Yellow: Treasure de End Pirates follows the story of Daiki Kaito traveling to the World of Den-O again and his involvement in the theft of the DenLiner and Rider Pass, the result of being possessed by the Spider Imagin. Kamen Rider Diend Complete Form will also debut in the movie. He is chased after by Reiji Kurosaki as Kamen Rider G Den-O for his crimes against the timeline.
Other movies that enters the June 19-20 Japanese Weekend Box Office are Confessions (#1), Iron Man 2 (#3), Sex and the City 2 (#4), The Walker (#5), Outrage (#6), Alice in Wonderland(#7), Flowers (#8), Aloof (#9), and Shun Twinkle (#10).
They say opposites attract. In Jemi's case, maybe not so much! Just two days before they broke up, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato gave a big interview about their relationship. Now that it's finally coming out, we can kinda see where the problem was (even if Demi couldn't)! Seems that Demi is a bit darker than Joe — into more action and edgy stuff. Totally cool, but not quite Joe's style. "She listens to harder music sometimes than I would. She'll say, 'Listen to this great song,'" Joe said, to which Demi responded, "And he's like... scary!" It extended to movies, where Joe said, "It's like, I'd much rather go see a happy movie," and Demi said, "And I would rather see an action film." It started out pretty awkwardly, too. As Demi explains it: "I had always fancied him. Want to know what actually happened? One night I asked him, 'What is the deal? We're perfect for each other. What are you doing?' And he was like, 'This is really awkward. I have to go.'" Sure, he went with it for a while, but we guess the love of heavy metal was just too much. Or always being around each other. Or a hatred of Barney. So how is it between them now? "We haven't spent any time together since everything," Demi said, "because that would be awkward, but I'm sure things will go totally back to normal once we're on tour together. It's just that at this point I'd rather be hanging out with my girlfriends than seeing my ex." Ouch. And how do you feel, Joe? "In this business," he said, "it's really hard to find people who are going to be there for the rest of your life. When I met Demi, I knew right away that our friendship was really strong. I don't want to lose that ever."
Credits to HM Disney Stars for the reasons why Jemi failed. Looks like it wasn't Chelsea Staub after all...
The thing is when I saw Shinkenger, what really fascinated me was this weapon in Shinkenger known as the Rekka Daizantou. I kind of wonder if the prop is made of really light materials seeing that both Tori Matsuzaka who plays Takeru Shiba and his stuntman Hirofumi Fukuzawa somehow could draw it. But if we're to talk of real metal, it would be very hard to draw it and it takes a lot of strength to draw such a heavy weapon.
Due to its size, the prop never used real flames for a flame sword scene. Just common sense judgment- look at how the flames engulf the whole blade and it's way more difficult to draw it than just using the samurai. If they wanted more effects, then CGI flames would have been the answer since real flames would be way too risky. In Bioman, the use of real flames won't be as hard as the flame sword (with real flames) move above.
Not only that, this gun also becomes a gigantic cannon where the other power discs are loaded by the other members to finish off the monster. Now that's one badass sword if you ask me!
Other Ultramen seen in the poster are Ultraman (Hayata), Seven, Taro, Jack, Zoffy and Ace. And in the background, you will see Ultraman Kaiser Belial, who is said to be taking his revenge in this movie.
It has also be confirmed that Koyanagi Yu will be playing the role of Ultraman Zero's human host, Ran. He will be using the Zero Eye to transform into Ultraman Zero and fight along side of the other Ultramen.
The plot of Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire is still not clear up to this point. The only thing we knew is Ultraman Belial, one of the fiercest Dark Ultra, will take his revenge to the Ultras because of his defeat in the previous movie, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends. And since the human host of Ultraman Zero is revealed, I expect this to have an Earth setting.
The official site of Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire is also opened. There's a promotional video/trailer of the movie but it's not viewable by visitors outside Japan.
Update: Promo video added. Thanks to James Ballard of HJU for the Youtube video.
The thing is Goseiger 20 is kind of a J-drama thing for me. So what's the point? Well the thing is the Goseigers decide to help a teenager named Takuya who's desperately in love with a girl. We see the Goseigers use their invisibility powers outside of their suits to hide. However with Datas, their cover is easily blown when their morphing devices ring.
Unfortunately the Yuumajuu have launched their own plan using Pesaranza of the Keseran-Pasaran who Makuin sends to devour love from people, which is however kind of common. It wasn't like as if it didn't happen with previous Sentai entries like Jetman or Turboranger.
The monster goes as far as to meddle with Takuya's feelings causing the girl to dislike him. I find it just totally despicable... really. Fortunately though he was able to gain the girl's forgiveness in the end. :-P

Ok guys... Hold your breath for this very exciting news... The recent blockbuster Ultraman movie, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends will finally have it's sequel. The upcoming movie will be entitled Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire.
In the Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire is said to be Ultraman Belial's revenge on his defeat on the Ultramen. He even acquired a cloak, and yeah, an evil cloak. He will be then called Kaiser Ultraman Belial.
In the Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire, Ultraman Zero will also get new weapons and upgrades. This include Zero Lance, Zero Spark & Zero Bracelet.
The plot for the movie is not yet confirmed or announced up to this point. But honestly, I'm hoping to see that the setting will be on Earth and the appearance of Ultraman Zero's human host.
Ultraman Zero The Movie: Super Decisive Battle! Belial's Galactic Empire will be shown in theaters on December 23, 2010, just in time for Christmas.
Here's an updated image of the Tensou Sentai Goseiger upgraded form. The tentative name will be "Super Goseiger." Visible in their chest armor is the Animal Headder that they represent. In order to attain this form, the Goseigers must acquire the GoseiTenSword.
The image above is from the newly released Tensou Sentai Goseiger toy catalog for new Sentai Hero PVC figures. If you have noticed, there's no GoseiPink and GoseiYellow. But they are expected to have the same upgrade since the same thing happened with the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger SH figures, no SH SuperShinkenYellow and SuperShinkenPink released.
There is an ongoing rumor that this upgrade will give the Goseigers the same ability as GoseiKnight to be able to transform into a Headder. But this one is still not confirmed.
The name Super Goseiger is kinda expected since the last two Super Sentai Upgrades have used the same prefix, Super GekiRed and Super ShinkenRed to be exact.
Super Goseiger's debut episode is still not announced.

This puts the Forever in BFF! A day after it was revealed that soulmates Katy Perry and Russell Brand made their relationship totally official with matching tattoos, new photos suggest that Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus have made their friendship forever by doing the same! It's been long known that Miles has a tattoo above her heart that reads, "Just Breathe." The ink is in honor of a friend that died of cystic fibrosis, a disease that attacks the lungs. Well, in this new picture, her BFF Demi (former rivals, now on the same team!) seems to have the exact same thing! There's been no comment from Demi, but closer inspection shows that it's almost definitely the same tattoo.
What do YOU think — why did she get it, and should 17-year olds be getting ink anyway?
Goseiger epic 19 is full of exciting new action. In this episode, Bladerun seeks to exploit the use of Bladerun's rather awesome power. He reveals himself to be a more competent villain than Mons Drake ever was. Also, I like the Yuumaju so I hope they don't get written off too early. This episode develops a relationship between the Goseigers and Gosei Knight.
The monster of the week is Giemuro of the Kappa. He is a Kappa monster that uses sumo wrestling and he's Bladerun's latest asset to winning. He plans to turn humans into the mischievous Kappa. In some Anime, however Kappas were not always evil.
This episode also featured a father-daughter relationship just in time for father's day. Kanako was kidnapped and the Goseigers must go after her. Again something about these guys make me feel Saban will do better in adapting Goseiger than Shinkenger IMO.
I just find the robot mode of Gosei Knight as Groundion to be awesome. I don't think he'll count as a Goseiger though.
It's been months since we reported the release of Kamen Rider Decade director's cut movie. Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs Dai-Shocker Director's Cut rental copy is now out, and the DVDs will be on sale on June 21.
Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs Dai-Shocker Director's Cut is said to fill-up some plot holes, and confusions visible on the original cut. It is confirmed that there will be 13 minutes of new scenes added.
SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk.
HJU members NeonZ and Red Ranger have compiled a list of changes they saw based on the leaked copy of the rental version:
The sequence of Amazon kicking away Decade's sword was extended with an aerial shot, showing Amazon rolling around and kicking away Decade's sword several times before using Jaguar Shock.
Another Ika+Beer scene right in the beginning when Eijiro is still at home.
Darker music when they explore the world. Tsukasa stops on the bridge to look at their surroundings.
Tsukasa tries to leave, rather than open the front door of his old home.
Sayo watches Tsukasa leaving with Yusuke and Natsumi after he recovers his memories, clearly sad, while Tsukikage stays by her side, holding her.
The smaller Rider tournament battles got a pre-battle screen similar to the loading screens from some fighting games, like Soul Calibur. There's a picture of each fighter covering half of the screen, while the narrator announces their names. However, aside from that, there's no real added footage to them...
Eijiro sees the Shocker castle rising, and decides to go there, worried. He's alone in that scene, so it supports the double personality shown in Movie Wars...
In Saiyo's flashback, Tsukasa actually returns to give her a flower, before disappearing alongside with the dimensional wall. The original take of the movie almost made it seem like he didn't care for her, but this one makes it look like he was just blind to her real problem (which fits in with what he says later in the movie, about how he should have told her that she could fly too).
The scene about Natsumi rejecting Tsukasa was the same from the original... I thought I had read in one of the DVD descriptions somewhere that it had been extended.
In the Dai-Shocker meeting, Dr.Shinigami commemorates Decade's elimination. Daiki is shown disguised as a Shocker grunt.
The camera cuts back from the people escaping to two other buildings blowing up.
Natsumi stands still, watching an Imagin grabbing someone, and then runs along with a group of people. Meanwhile, an Orphenoc kills another person. She helps a man stand up, and only after that she runs to the place where she meets Narutaki.
Longer camera pan on depressed Tsukasa.
A few extra seconds of Kick Hopper and Ouja vs Diend's summons are shown, but the footage still ends before the ending of the battle.
A few extra seconds of Den-O vs Mole Imagin (which grabs Den-O after he attempts to slash it).
A few extra seconds of Super-1, showing him beating up an Orphenoc and the camera moving to Ryuki.
Diend using his speed to beat up several monsters.
BLACK kicks one enemy and throws another way, the camera slowly changes to Shin who uses his claws to attack a monster already on the ground.
V3 beats a Shocker grunt and a Dark Roach and makes his pose. Hibiki uses his instrument to beat up some Shocker grunts.
The scene where Kaito saves Natsumi and Narutaki is extended with Natsumi asking Kaito to help them. Kaito agrees but wants treasure as compensation. Natsumi laughing pressure points him.
After Tsukasa is dropped from the trap door. The part with Rising Ultimate Kuuga is extended slightly, showing him kick Tsukasa before choking him.
The scene where Decade and Diend defeat Jark is extended showing them leave that world and re-enter Decade's world for the final battle.
A few of the riders get a bit more screen time in the big battle. Diend is shown during this sequence using his ability to run fast...
Scenes from the credits are now part of the movie.
Making of footage is shown during the credits now.
With this sort-of added scenes, Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs Dai-Shocker Director's Cut DVD is still a nice movie to look forward to, especially to those Kamen Rider fans. But those who have already seen it are pretty disappointed, and said that this version doesn't fill-up the plot holes on the original cut.

LOLz on the horizon! They've lived in a hotel, a cruise ship and around the world, and now, Zack and Cody will have a final destination: the big screen! Dylan Sprouse confirmed on his official website that there will be a Suite Life On Deck Movie — in fact, it's already been shot! "[The Film] is strictly related to Season 3 of Suite Life on Deck," Dylan wrote. "It definitely took us 2 and a half weeks to film that." Woah, much longer than usual — sounds like it's gonna be great! Still no word on when it'll be out or whether it'll be on Disney Channel or hit theaters, but we can't wait!
Goseiger 18 has some really hard secrets about Gosei Knight. The character himself is kind of mysterious and he's more concerned about protecting the planet than the life on the planet. Hmmm... I wonder what he means. In this episode, he attacks a pollutant-releasing plant in hopes to save the Earth. He reminds me of in one way Captain Planet and in another, Poison Ivy from Batman comics with his motifs for this episode.
It's also nice to see Bladerun survive and show his true self. I honestly feel like he's a fusion of Wolverine and other Marvel characters. First I thought he would take over Warstar but he turns out to be part of Yuumaju.
The Yuumaju's latest plot using Zeibu of the mummy. I find it really somewhat scary seeing how the monster could use TV sets for its scheme. That's when the Goseigers must really go and free the TV station from Yuumaju's control.
They do enter and it's filled with mummified slaves. Instead of getting scared, I find myself laughing at how cheap the costumes were but then, that's the usual thing with Sentai. During this time, Agri and Moune as siblings battle Gosei Knight. I find Gosei Knight to be a jerk but then again, it's not the first time a sixth member has gone against the rangers prior to joining the team. The mecha battle was plain awesome with all the displays of previous combination as of late.
According to Box Office Mojo, Episode Blue: The Dispatched Imagin is NEWtral earned US$2,137,017 on 211 screens. That's at least US$10,128 per screen. Based on the opening weekend earnings, Episode Blue earns US$322,405 less than Episode Red: Zero's Star Twinkle on its debut weekend.
Episode Blue: The Dispatched Imagin is NEWtral revolves around "Friendship" and features Den-O and New Den-O attempting to regain control of the DenLiner (having lost it in Episode Red) when an Imagin takes it over, as well as two mysterious men. Throughout, Kotaro's and Teddy's friendship is tested and strengthened.
Other movies that enters the June 5-6 Japanese Weekend Box Office are Confessions (#1), Sex and the City 2 (#3), Alice in Wonderland(#4), Isolated Female (#5), Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (#6), The Battle Royale Movie (#7), Railways 49 (#8), Zatoichi THE LAST (#9), and Box! (#10).

Have you ever wondered why Disney Hotshots like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers only tour in the Americas and Europe, but never ever set foot upon the Asian region?
I have no idea why, but only a few managed to set foot on Asia, mostly Japan. the only ones that got in that region were Hilary Duff, Raviv "Ricky" Ullman, 78Violet, Selena Gomez, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. All 5 of them (excluding Raviv, who went to Singapore for a press appearance for Phil of the Future) went to Japan to promote their works. Hilary and 78 Violet promoted their albums. Zac and Vanessa promoted HSM 3 (as HSM The Movie in Japan). Zac and Vanessa, also went to Hong Kong for a promo there. Vanessa even had plans to go to the Philippines with her mom to explore her mom's homeland, yet is not yet done as of now. Selena also went to Japan to promote her albums and the Japanese dub of Wizards of Waverly Place.
Miley, Demi, and the JoBros have fanbases in the Asian region yet they are snobbed. why? could it be that these have little to no experience in their languages? (The Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong people there speak English so it's no problem there.) Is it because of culture shock? Is it because of time constraints? is it because the Region is far away from the US?
Whatever the reasons are, these factors I said are NOT AN EXCUSE for these stars not to tour in Asia. This post I written is not just an opinion, but also a open letter and a challenge to Disney Stars to go see what they're missing- the great continent called Asia.
If any Disney star or at least their management is reading this right now, I dare you to go visit Asia. If you do that, not only your fans will be happy, so will you. you won't regret it.
Update: as of June 15 2011, Miley Cyrus is on her way to the Philippines. Let's hope Demi and others follow soon.
So while Warstar was defeated which ended with the victory of Alata in a rematch against his rival Dereputa, however the meteor shower broke the seal to release new enemies namely the Yuumaju who are more powerful.
The Yuumaju are just SCARY. Their names come from various horror movie characters. For example, there is the Erurei Box which is named after the horror film Hellraiser. Scary isn't it? I kind of thought of featuring this from left to right up to the third.
So we have Makuin of the Blob. Although named after the horror movie "The Blob" I think he looks like a modified Jabba the Hutt mashed with other characters. Then we have Kinggon of the Bigfoot, he is the strongest warrior. Surprise- Bladerun is still alive and he's really Bladerun of the Chupacabra. Still, the Bibis are alive. So I kind of thought if Saban adapts Goseiger, why not make the Warstar and the Yuumaju Lord Zedd's extended family and maybe he'll give him European names?
On the other hand, Gosei Knight is also awakened a the same time. If you ask me, he looks like a typical modern-day Kamen Rider than a Sentai ranger. I wonder if he's meant to be an extra hero or an extra ranger? He is actually the Groundion Header as well. I think he's pretty cool. I wonder what will Haim Saban ever name him?
Right now I'm starting to see children having nightmares. LOL.
Good news for all you Wizards of Waverly Place fans the show has gotten picked up for anything season. Disney has decided to make a 4th season for the Emmy winning show. Fresh off some Emmy nominations and sky high ratings, Disney has renewed the Wizards of Waverly Place for a fourth season, giving us a chance to learn who will win the family's Wizarding contest. Not only will we get more weekly laughs and a heavy dose of Selena Gomez, there's also a second Wizards movie in the works. No word yet on what that'll come out (it's being written right now) but perhaps it'll be the big series finale. Or hey, just another hot Caribbean vacation. Either one sounds good to us!

This time it's the opposite, Shotaro will be more of a support for Phillip." (Kiriyama) and "This time, it's about the growth of Phillip. I feel like I have more responsibility. I am only 17 and I already to this kind of stuff." (Suda)

Sugimoto, who plays Maria S. Cranberry, said "The director told me, just because this is a children's movie, don't hold back. Be sexy and let the pheromones out, do your best and be proud." while pushing her chest out.
The movies will be released in Japan on the 7th of August.
