King Records

King records is a Japanese music company founded back in 1931. Today, King Records is one of the largest record labels in Japan who have a ton of artists - a couple you may recognize are Angela and AKB48.
King Records have an internal label called StarChild which produce a load of anime titles too and you can see some of them listed here.
This photo was taken with Producer Yamanaka-san at the King Records headquarters last week. Yamanaka-san is the guy who has produced titles such as Toradora, kiss×sis, Yosuga no Sora, Minamike and more.
Yamanaka-san is also the producer for a title called *takes a deep breath* "Onii-chan no koto nanka zenzen sukijyanai dakarane!!" or "I don't like my big brother at all!!" (said in a "well-I-kinda-do" tone - whatever that tone may be ^^;) We currently call the title "Onii-chan" for short.
The story is about a young lad called Shuusuke who is an expert at taking good care of his health. From time to time he would look at his younger sister in a funny way...
Shuusuke's younger sister is Nao who kinda has a thing for her big brother. One day she finds out that she was adopted and is not blood related to her family. While most folks would be devastated, Nao sees this as a perfect opportunity to go after her "brother."
The interesting thing is that while Shuusuke knows that Nao is not realy is younger sister but he continues to keep schtum and so does Nao about the secret that she found out about.
The story gets more interesting when Shuusuke's childhood friend Iroha moves back to the neighborhood and wants a piece of Shuusuke.
Introducing another pantsu-oppai-brother-sister anime which a load of young healthy boys out there will relate too - I think ^^; Check out the OP below.
And this is what our was meeting about - folks who noticed the banner at the bottom of the official Japanese site for Onii-chan would have already probably seen the official English site which runs on our Mirai Gaia platform.
StarChild have asked us to develop English language sites for all of their anime titles - starting with Onii-chan.
The StarChild English portal will be activated once we have done a few more of these portal site that we are working on as we speak ^o^
StarChild join Good Smile Company, Cospa, Ascii Media Works in using our Mirai Gaia platform and I'll be announcing another client hopefully sometime next week.
I'm also working with StarChild to get you more involved with their titles starting with Onii-chan. First up, we would love to give you a few personally signed Shikishi by voice actress Eri Kitamura who does the voice of Nao. Check out the Eri Kitamura post for more details.
