- Ryoko wrote on the ML:
Nihon Record Taishou (Japan Record Award) has chosen [Joe] Hisaishi for the "Best
Composer" award, for his work in "Mononoke Hime" (I'm not sure if it's for
the entire soundtrack, or the song).
It's a sort of Grammy in Japan, and the Award ceremony will be held on the
new year's eve. I don't know if he or Mera-San will perform at the ceremony
(which will be televised, of course).

- According to Yahoo! Entertainment,
MH attendance is not quite at 12 million yet. (sigh) It's near enough to round up, it seems.
- The CNN Interactive article
now has a downloadable quicktime clip from the movie!
- Also, added a small menu to all pages. Look at the top left corner. This should also fix
problems some people were having with text being obscured by the background.
(Thanks Anthony!)

- According to CNN Interactive,
MH attendance has indeed surpassed 12 million!
" [Mononoke Hime] ... has grossed 9.65
billion yen ($80.4 million) since its
release on July 12, overtaking the
9.62 billion yen ($80.2 million)
record previously held by Steven
Spielberg's 'E.T.' "
This of course means that MH is now the No.1 movie of all time in Japan!
(The article also has a 'related link' to these pages, among others. Yay!) ^_^

- According to an article posted by Ryoko

- A quote from Ryoko's recent post to the ML:
Three months after its release, MH is still at the top of the Japanese
box office. Its rental (the distributor's share of BO revenue) has
now surpassed 9 billion yen, the attendance has now surpassed 11
million. (E.T. earned about 9.6 billion yen). MH is expected to become
the all-time No.1 movie in Japan by the end of October or the
beginning of November.
It seems that Toho is going to keep MH in theaters until early next
year (possibly till Feb.).

- Added an article that Ryoko posted on the ML.
It seems that the figure of 11 million viewers (that was on the front page) was
slightly exaggerated - it's 'only' 10.6 million at this point. Don't believe what
you read on a web page! :)
- Also, two pieces on MH have been aired in the US - one on CBS (Sep 30)
and a newer one on CNN (Oct 3)!
- Ryoko also posted a transcript of the CNN program on the ML!
- Found a new MH page. See links.

- Added the Hollywood Reporter article that states
"...[Mononoke] will be released in both dubbed and subtitled versions, predicting that
older audiences will prefer to see the latter."
Couldn't have said it better ^_^
