Update 7.20.2009
(1) Today is Episode 2. For a spoiler preview read the entry in 7.19.2009 (hidden)
(2) According to Niku, the Assistant Producer. this billboard can be seen in other places other than parks in Tokyo. Look for it!

(3) I thought Pi had moved on from the Crescent-Luna necklace line. I guess not. The necklace he wears in BB is a crescent-luna creation.

(4) XQ is quoting what English speaking reviewers are saying about BB: (These quotes are written in English, then translated into Chinese.)(A yamapi-blue reader identified one of these quotes as hers. She said it was posted in d-addicts.)
"The first episode was a really good start, I don't think it was too slow, furthermore I sometime thought that it was unexpectedly direct. The way the head coach was asking Riko out for a date for example |D Usually it takes YEARS for something like this to happen in japanese drama."
"I loved it more than I thought I would, and I was already expecting to like it. It took its time with the introducing of the characters and a little setting up of things so I understand why people would think it's slow, it didn't feel that way at all to me though, I loved every bit of it."
(5) Toma mentions Pi in his Tomagoto Vol. 271. He talks about the hot summer days and enjoying the ocean and outdoor festivals (natsu-fes). But he's going to watch "Buzzer Beat" and thoroughly enjoy it! He ends with "Yama-fes". (source: ikuta-toma forums.co.nr)
