"Bugmaster" top 10 start, Joe Odagiri gets proposed!?
Katsuhiro Otomo's live-action fantasy "Bugmaster" was released last weekend, with Otomo, Joe Odagiri, Yu Aoi, Nao Omori and the child actor Reia Moriyama appearing on stage on the first day.
Reia's character grows horns in her forehead and Odagiri's Ginko cures it. 12-year old Reia said of Odagiri, "thanks to Ginko, I have grown this big. He was really nice at filming. Please marry me when I grow up." Odagiri replies, "so you are 12 years old, right? Yes, I'd be glad to. I have spoken to your mom, so I believe there is no problem."
"Bugmaster" made it to No. 8 in the weekend box office. Other spring break kids movies remain in the top 10, while "Genghis Khan" already disappeared at Week 4.

Aaaaaaahhh! Could you all please stop calling it »Bugmaster«? I don't know about the quality of the live-action movie but the neither the manga nor the anime series deserve such a shitty title.
I know it's the international English title but if it sucks just go with the Japanese one, everyone will understand.
