Twitch Film reports that Mushishi live action website has now released the official trailer. You can still see the teaser trailer on the site as well. I'm still not convinced with Joe Odagiri as Ginko and his hair looks like a wig but the special effects don't look bad so I am still interested in this. Anime on DVD mentions that one of the shows that VIZ will include as their exhibition pieces in the upcoming NATPE conference is Honey and Clover season 1. This means there's a likelihood that licensing for NA is imminent. I'm just hoping that they'll keep the insert song intact and not replaced by some other songs. Neowing, CD Japan's Japanese-language site reveals that some of the tracks included in the upcoming Honey and Clover Complete Best are Dramatic, Waltz, Fugainaiya, and Split's "Original Soundtrack Version". I believe that these are the long-awaited Piano version of the above songs. Nodame Cantabile anime site has information on the OP and ED theme for the series. Suemitsu & The Suemith will perform the OP, a Nodame Cantabile-inspired theme called 「Allegro Cantabile」. The ED theme will be performed by Crystal Kay and will feature a segment from the 1st movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I thought the OP and ED will use classical songs like the drama but it seems the producers has opted for original OP/Ed.
