Never resign yourself to fate, Even if cry and anger,
It's so powerful that you can't resist,

Unfair but feel top pleasure, The law of "LOVE".

Monthly Discussion:

December 2007 - "Kumagorou"
Quote:

- What sort of character do you consider Kumagorou? Is he "alive", or a "toy"? How do you think others interpret him?

- Do you think Ryuichi sees him as a living thing, or a stuffed animal?

- Do you feel that other characters treat Kumagorou as an entity separate from Ryuichi, or as a part of him?

- Does Kumagorou's importance change as Ryuichi's personality shifts?

- When reading fan-fiction that includes Kumagorou, how do you like to see him portrayed? As a thinking individual, or an inanimate object? Why?

Recent News:

11.04.07 - MegaMix News & New Monthly Discussion Topics!

Please don't die on me thread, please don't! ;o;

Hopefully the news that I'm bringing forth will entice new users to come forward and participate in some discussion. ;3

MegaMix Capybara has been completed and translated by a couple doujin groups out there on the Internet, so you shouldn't have trouble finding it if you know where to look. Also, a fourth MegaMix is currently in the works - MegaMix Zebra - and so far it's known to contain Ryuichi, Eiri, and Shuichi. The "finer details" of these possible pairings are still unknown.

In addition, I'm going to be implimenting a "Monthly Discussion" feature, which will hopefully assist those possible lurkers out there to come on in and make some conversation!


01.01.07 - Nope, I've Got Nothin'. D:

Just like last month, the 28th of December has passed and still no sign of any new Track, in either Japanese or English. GENZO's English Version states that they're currently taking a break to "renew all contents", and Gravitation hasn't been included in GENZO's Japanese Version for the third month in a row. Also, there hasn't been any known progress made on her next Megamix doujinshi, which is still sitting at 59% completion...


12.01.06 - No New Tracks on the Horizon, but Plenty of Doujinshi Instead

Well, the 28th of November has come and gone, and still no new GENZO Track - this is the second month in a row! gonk

However, Murakami-sensei has been making plenty of progress on her various doujinshi, which is most likely the main reason for her delay in Track releases. Megamix Gravitation "Capybara" is still hovering around 59% completion, but in December she'll be releasing a Megamix Gravitation Compilation that includes both "Panda" and "Kumogoru". In addition, she'll be releasing a new version of the 2nd Gravitation Remix Compilation (which includes Remixes 5-8.5), featuring a new cover with Eiri and a chibi Shuichi.


10.20.06 - Gravitation EX Volume 1 Set For Release 02.13.07!

It's official, folks - TOKYOPOP has scheduled the release of the first volume of the Gravitation EX series for this coming February!


10.20.06 - Gravitation EX Licensed By TOKYOPOP!?

While there's no official confirmation on this subject from TOKYOPOP itself, a recent update of Maki Murakami's profile on Wikipedia states that "Maki Murakami has continued the Gravitation series with Gravitation 2, which has also been licensed by TOKYOPOP".

Also, TOKYPOP editor Peter Ahlstrom made a comment on the Tokyopop Message Board hinting that we should receive some new information about the Gravitation series sometime soon...

So, what exactly is Gravitation about? This twelve-volume manga series features Shindou Shuichi, the talented lyricist of his popular band, Bad Luck. Shuichi is determined to take Bad Luck to the top of the Japanese music charts. With his strong emotional drive, unprecedented talent, and satiny singing voice, he just might stand a chance. One evening, fate takes a turn for the worse when Shuichi meets a handsome stranger named Eiri Yuki, a famous romance novelist with an attitude. Yuki reads Shuichi's most recent lyrics, and blatantly insults Shuichi's ability as an artist. Even though Yuki is Shuichi's biggest critic, Shuichi continues to pursue him. As the two men gravitate towards each other, friendship - and something more - begins to blossom.

As the story progresses, Bad Luck's fame continues to rise through the music industry, but controversies begin to occur just as their songs hit the top of the charts. Rival bands become jealous of Bad Luck's popularity, and are willing to use any means necessary to make sure Shuichi and his band doesn't surpass them. The media becomes curious of whether or not the relationship between the popular novelist and equally popular singer is real. Yuki's past continues to haunt him, as he hides a terrible secret. Shuichi must learn to overcome these difficult obstacles, keep Bad Luck together, and retain his relationship with Yuki.

Introduction:
We can't forget about the creator and artist of Gravitation, the one who started it all - Maki Murakami. Currently, Gravitation is her most popular work of manga, as she is still slowly expanding her creations throughout Japan and becoming more well known to the anime and manga community. It is rather difficult to find information online regarding her career, but below is a small tribute to Gravitation's beloved mangaka.

Quick Stats:
Date of Birth: May 24th
Astrological Sign: Gemini
Bloodtype: A

Past Works:
Maki Murakami made her manga debut in the 1995 April issue of Kimito Boku. Her work was titled Narushisuto No Higeki, which roughly translates as 'The Tragedy of a Narcissist'. (This manga appears in Volume 2 of Gravitation as well.)

Other Series:
Aside from the Gravitation manga series, Maki Murakami is also the artist for all of the Gravitation Remixes, a doujinshi series that furthers the relationship of Yuki and Shuichi, as well as introduces new, non-canon pairings that find themselves in compromising situations. While the anime/manga is mostly restricted to light BL, the Remixes are pure yaoi.
Another popular manga series of hers is Gamerz Heaven, which is also available in the US.

Current Projects:
Maki Murakami's newest project is Kimi no Unajini Kanpai!, which is a continuation of its pilot manga, A Toast to the Nape of Your Neck. It is available in the US under the name Kanpai!.

there are a heck of a lot of characters in this thing

Shuichi Shindou lord of the genki
He's infinitely happy on the surface, but he's got his problems. Over the course of the series, he goes from spastic joker to spastic joker who can't get his mind off a certain blonde. Vocalist for Bad Luck, the band that's a national sensation and spreading fast. He's just the average schoolboy with wishes of becoming a musical legend, except his wishes were granted; but he lets his life interfere with his work. Goes into "chibi" mode far more than can possibly be healthy.

Eiri Yuki love interest and angst generator
Eiri, at a glance, is a cold, angry person. And you could stare for hours and hours and still think exactly the same. His bitter personality comes from his past which he can't get his mind off of, and the rest of it is a bit of an act - he's formed an emotional shell around himself, and has gotten "not responding warmly" down to an art form.


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Ryuichi Sakuma inspiration with a double personality
Picture size is not directly proportional to importance within the series. Without Ryuichi, Shuichi never would have found the motivation to start up a band, and we wouldn't have much of a story. Ryu is prone to switch from smiling, happy friend of everyone to bitter, manipulating rock star in a matter of seconds. He's even managed to occasionally combine the two. However, his main goal seems to be to have Shuichi do his best.

more coming soon!
