Ah~, yes, I adore B'z. Funnily enough I got into them from a different anime. When I released their song was used for the specials, I was overjoyed! *^^*
Janne Da Arc is on hiatus aren't they? They release an album earlier this year celebrating 10 years of the band forming.
I was meant to say realized, not released. =P B'z are fairly legendary. They've been around for 20 years now, and considered to be Japan's best selling musicians. The band consists of 2 guys: Tak (Leader, composer and guitarist) and Koshi (Vocalist and lyrics). BTW, Tak did the opening theme to the BJ specials too. ^^ Here's examples of their songs from my favorite album of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAUdfj6ROuI
They have some songs used for Detective Conan openings. There are a few other animes and some TV dramas they've done songs for too.
Actually 6 albums and 3 DVDs (music videos & bonus footage) would be expensive. =P That's 9 disks in total for this 10 anniversary boxset. Their first album is around $30, so times that by 6 = $180. So this album ($167.99) is a pretty reasonable price! Plus you get 3 DVDs of music videos and bonus footage to go with!
I don't like Detctive Conan but I watched Gegege no Kitaro. It was so old there were those strange dust specks and lines in it. I thought it was cool though.
I have a book with Mostly-translated-into-English mangas and their ratings on it. Of course, Tezuka is in it, too. 0-4 star-ratings- Gegege no Kitaro and BJ both have 4 stars!!
Metropolis, 3-stars, MW,not rated, Lost World, 2 1/2-stars, Phoenix, 4-star, etc.
It's very nice, but a bit too critical. Still, it's nice if you want to buy a manga and know what people think before doing so. They only have the most popular mangas of Tezuka's, though, which annoys me a bit.
Yep, it sure is. With all that bonus stuff, I would say it's worth the price if you're a fan!
I only read the manga to Detective Conan and was very shock to find how violent it can be. (Very first chapter features be beheading on a rollercoaster. Gosh blood spraying like a water fountain... @_@). Oh Gegege no Kitaro! I must try to look this manga/anime up some time.
Realy? what book is this, pray tell. Since we still haven't all of Tezuka's published works in English there isn't much to rate. ^^;
Yes, but is also has the publisher(s) of each book. It has the manga artist's official website too, which is pretty nice. The Tezuka site is on it, of course.

Oh. What's the name of the song? They might have it on Youtube.

It's more like a 6 CD box set (with DVDs of their music videos) compilation of their previous albums.
