We've recently learned that Tetsuya Normura was featured in a local newspaper. The paper says he greeted new kids at his old school and it gave a tiny bit of info. concerning his past there. Enjoy!
(The following is derived from the Yomiuri Shinbun, the newspaper)
"Tetsuya Nomura is an alumnus of Tachioka Toyokata (high school) in Kochi Prefecture where he has participated 11 times in "Manga Koshien" (a manga related event held by the school), the most times of any participator. Nomura chose to attend the school within the prefecture which offered only art related courses, and it took an hour by bus or train to get to there. His adviser in the department, Tateki Sofue, had shown him a collection of artwork by Yoshitaka Amano, so by the time he was a senior in high school, he knew that drawing "the world between possible and impossible" was what he liked. "The style that cannot be called comic or realism. Such directionality is the reason that its hard to pinpoint."
"Technology is important, but the exchange of a personal encounter is important too. Going outside, we want to expand the world. If the younger student follows, you praise them because its wonderful. "

Well, there seems to be a bit of hype around the KH community in regard to recent price releases for the new PlayArts Arms. According to the Squre Enix Blog the prices are currently set around 36 US dollars or 3800 yen.
There is no confirmed release date for these yet, so unfortunately those interested will have to wait a bit longer. Sorry guys. We can hope that this date will be confirmed soon though, as they were apparently due in April. Ah well, we'll see.
Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates but I do have one for you today. Kingdom Hearts fans should especially like this, both Square Enix and Disney Interactive have confirmed that they will be attending E3. Hopefully Square Enix will let out a little more info this year considering they didn't let out much of anything last year. Here are the dates, and they sure are soon!!!
