"New People", J-POP center in Japan Town area San Francisco with a theater dedicated to Japanese movies and anime, is holding a grand opening event today on 8/15.
San Francisco Chronicle article
A bunch of events are going on during the day. The movie event features "20th Century Boys 1" based on Naoki Urasawa's manga and directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, starring Toshiaki Karasawa, will be held on 4pm, with the main actress Takako Tokiwa (who also is in popular NHK's historical drama "Tenchijin") appearing on site (I heard...).
"20th Century Boys" trilogy will be shown sequencially in the same venue through September 3. They are also showing "Bleach The Movie" (animation) and "L change the worLd" (spin-off of popular manga-based "Death Note" series, starring - my big fav - Kenichi Matsuyama!) for special events in late August.
Just heard that SF is nice and sunny today. If you have time to hang around in town, please check it out there!!
