Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing all new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com. Around 500 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.

This week we bring you Grindhouse Complete Box [Limited Edition] by two quintessential directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Although the directors playfully named their project The Grindhouse, which means multi-feature length B-movies in the 70s, the two films in this project, Planet Terror and Death Proof, cannot be further away from the B-movie genre.

Planet Terror and Death Proof are filled to the brim with action, glamour, excellent performances by a star studded cast and excitement. Accompanying the two films, this DVD set is complete with plenty of other goodies like behind-the-scene clips and interviews with the directors.

Aside from action packed blockbusters, Play-Asia.com is bringing you cool OSTs from exciting games. Nobuo Uematsu and the band Black Mages have released The Black Mages III Darkness and Starlight that features the the hard rock arrangements of Final Fantasy's battle themes. Because of popular demand, The Black Mages II -The Skies Above-, the predecessor of Black Mages III is re-released, for those who have missed it, be sure to grab it this time.

To those who are looking for trendy Japanese music that combines postmodern stylishness and old time elegance, Miyavi -This Iz The Japanese Kabuki Rock- [CD+DVD Limited Edition] and its standard edition are in stock now. Miyavi is a perfect example of the visual kei rock star, he takes his musical performances past the audio realm to the visual realm by his extravagant make up and costumes that compliments his vocal style to a perfect degree. Through this album, he innovatively combines the traditional elements of the Japanese Kabuki with modern rock music to create something refreshingly grand.
