The new issue of Otaku USA Magazine just hit my mailbox, so I thought I'd give you a bit of a run-down to hopefully entice you to check it out when you see it in your favorite local otaku hideout.
First up, the big feature (at least as far as ZB's world is concerned) is my interview with Morning Musume group leader Ai Takahashi. We talk a bit about her rise to stardom and what it's like to be a Musume. I also review the new Morning Musume album Platinum 9 Disc. And speaking of reviews, I take a look at the debut album from Cellythm, a band signed to Nobuo Uematsu's own record label Dog Ear Records.
Aside from music, I review Noby Noby Boy, a game for the PS3. If you haven't played it, well, maybe my review will help you understand it. Maybe. Finally, as part of the big Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood cover story, I take a listen to the opening and ending themes to the show, from Yui and SID.
Then there's also everything from everyone else! There's a Utada Hikaru story from Mike Dent, A look at MadWorld for the Wii from Joseph Luster, an eye-popping interview with manga master Hitoshi Iwaaki, a billion manga, anime and film reviews and way too much other stuff to go into here. I mean, you'd need 122 pages!
I really hope you can pick up a copy as soon as you see it. As always, Otaku USA Magazine is the best (and only!) magazine for the hardcore otaku!

you didn't seriously interview ai takahashi?
damn you're one lucky bast**d :D
too bad it's otaku USA so i can't get hold of it :(
i'm so glad fullmetal alchemist brotherhood is on the cover. i'm watching the episodes on funimation and the quality is superb. who's ai takahashi? i haven't heard of the band. i guess i'll find out once i get this mag in the mail.
Aichan, eh? I thought A-Z didn't really care much about the Japanese idol scene. Turns out Morning Musume is the best band I've ever seen. They took the roof off the L.A. Convention Center on 7/3 even if the staging and sound wasn't quite right. Aichan is a global superstar. Congrats, and I want to read your story!
