\"Kimura<\/a>
\n
\n(above) Kimura Takuya of Japanese pop group Smap vends some Nissin Cup Ramen, taken in Shinjuku just before I boarded the airport limousine to Narita, on my way back to Singapore. Now I reckon this familiar face is going to sell Nissin as many cup ramen as did the entire Freedom Project<\/a>, most probably more. With the series now complete<\/a> and Freedom’s Nissin Cup Noodle campaign over its back to good old thespian endorsements, and who better to start it off than KimuTaku.<\/p>\n

I’m now back home for a short holiday, enjoying late night Kopis with my good friends and tasty local cusine. I do regret having to miss Freedom Seven’s<\/a> internal screening (and my colleagues) at Sunrise on Thursday; the studio will be sending me a dvd copy later next month so that will have to do.<\/p>\n

I also received my Sword of the Stranger <\/a>dvd boxset just before I left for Singapore and took some pictures, so I will write about that soon, suffice to say Stranger has some of the best swordfight scenes I’ve seen in any animated feature.<\/p>\n

For now…its time for some more local food ! :]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,3,15,4],"tags":[73,239,1667,291,300,74,301,194],"class_list":["post-555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anime","category-freedom-project","category-japan","category-life","tag-cup-noodles","tag-freedom","tag-freedom-project","tag-freedom-seven","tag-kimura-takuya","tag-nissin","tag-smap","tag-sword-of-the-stranger"],"yoast_head":"\nKimura Takuya + Nissin Cup Noodles -
