Another tiny but extremely interesting news:

Takeshi
Kaneshiro was representing the product in Japan and is the model for the
company. He has made some video commercials for the JT and shooting for the ads
which are on the big boards and Supermarket windows in Japan these days. Both of the tea
products from JT are sugar free and no calories, which is seemingly very
important for those who would like to buy it.
The DVD and
Blu-Ray versions of ‘K-20 Legend of the Mask’ are on sales since June 24, 2009.
Both will be sold at one time. But for now they are available only in Japanese
and do not have English subtitles.
You can
already preorder the film but you should be aware of that.
