They look great on display, but the inventory is limited. If you can, its best to buy them early. The set of 5 keyblades are releasing this month at 3,800 YEN, about $37.00 USD.

Material: Real leather, metal
Price: 3,200 yen (About $30.00)

The prices for the charms range between about $45 and $60. This jewelery is made out of real materials and isn't meant to serve as costume jewelry, therefore the prices reflect that these items are a bit of an investment. The charms currently available: Keyblade, Roxas, Mickey, Kairi, and Heartless. Currently the Sora charm is sold out.

He greeted the new students in the opening ceremonies at his old high school, discussing his past experience and his introduction into the artwork of Yoshitaka Amano. Here is the article:

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.

It's an interesting perspective on artwork! Nice to see what Nomura is up to during his in between work times. Hopefully he'll be announcing something Kingdom Hearts related soon!

E3, previously the biggest gaming convention internationally, has slowly been shrinking. This year, multiple companies have already confirmed that they will not be attending this expo. Great news for us though: Both Disney Interactive and Square Enix have confirmed that they will indeed be showing their games at E3 this year! No word yet on what games will be shown, let's hope for some good stuff. The best part, E3 is much sooner then it seems!

E3 2008 will take place:
Tuesday, July 15, 2008: 9:00AM – 6:00PM
Wednesday, July 16, 2008: 9:00AM – 6:00PM
Thursday, July 17, 2008: 9:00AM – 4:00PM
