Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com. Around 310 new items are covered in this week, including new J-Pop, Anime as well as Japanese, Hong Kong and Western movie releases and much more.

Take a healthy dose of Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Carribean trilogy box set. Recorded in high definition with Blu-Ray Discs, this collection is going to turn your sitting room into a real cinema.

When people mentioned pirates, the face of Jack Sparrow will pop up (aside from Luffy, perhaps) the success and pervasiveness of this image is not merely due to the make up but the veteran actor's execution. Endearing characters combined with exciting special effects and an engaging plot, this is a deal you cannot miss.

Most people have heard of the talented singer and pianist through Final Fantasy 12's theme song Kiss me Goodbye. With a minimum of sound effects and arrangements, there usually are very few things to distract the audience from Angela Aki's strong, melodious voice and messages within her works.

Tegami ~ Jugo no kimi e [standard and limited editions] is chosen as a number to be performed in the Junior High School National Concurs, organized by NHK. With its emphasis on the hopes life brings, this is a particularly suitable song for teenagers and many have been moved to tears when Angela Aki herself sang it on stage.

While Angela Aki encouraged young people to face their future with hope, Ikkitousen Best Song Collection [standard and limited editions] portrays quite a different picture. Sung mostly by voice actresses, the songs are upbeat, energetic and amplifies the sex appeal of the characters.

Fan service and combats are very much the essence of the show and the songs display the fighter spirit of the girls and their ability to make you swoon.
