So, since for a long time, he's been the only main Monkey cast member missing from my Monkey Cast section (http://www.monkeyheaven.com/cast.html), I thought it better to have an 'initial tribute page' with limited information about him, than to not have one at all. So for now, it features a few pictures, the biography I wrote that appears on the UK Monkey DVDs, and some web site links. At *some point* (don't know when I'll get time!) in the future, I'll sift through all the information I have been sent about Toshiyuki Nishida, and this page will probably end up being at least 5 times longer than it currently is ;) If you have any additional information that you think would be good for this page, please let me know, and it will get added in my next update.

They're £3.95 from oneposter.com: http://www.oneposter.com/FurtherDetails.asp?recordCount=1&stockid=4325 (£2 postage in the UK, more for overseas) This poster shouldn't be confused with the UK Monkey DVD posters that you can buy for £5 direct from Fabulous Films (with FREE postage to anywhere in the world): http://www.monkeyheaven.com/dvds_promomaterial.html (bottom of this page) Two good things about this old UK Monkey video promotional poster: 1) You can order it easily online (especially useful for overseas fans) - as opposed to sending a cheque / sterling money order by post to Fabulous Films 2) Although the main picture of Monkey is in yellow instead of full colour, you get the bonus of some pictures of the other main characters in Monkey at the bottom of the poster (on the DVD poster, in their place, you get the text "Out now on DVD ...") Howell PS Even if you don't want to buy one of these old posters - there's a nice feature on oneposter.com where you can send the image of it to someone as a E-Card / greeting card - just put a friend's email address on this page, along with the text of your message: http://www.oneposter.com/Ecard/Postcard.asp?PID=&CID=&stockID=4325 _________________________________________________________________ Get a speedy connection with MSN Broadband.

Havoc in Heaven, Havoc in Heaven.... Itsu ka atarashii nanika ni de au made wa Atsui inochi wo moyashi tuzukero! Havoc in Heaven Joushiki te iu yatsu wo subete buchikowashi Nijuu oku nen no yami wo kakenukero! Havoc in Heaven, Havoc in Heaven.... (Translation) Havoc in Heaven Break all the rules and run through the 2000 million years of darkness! Havoc in Heaven, Havoc in Heaven.... Till you find something new Keep the fire of life burning inside you! Havoc in Heaven, Havoc in Heaven.... Havoc in Heaven Break all the rules and run through the 2000 million years of darkness! Havoc in Heaven, Havoc in Heaven.... ***************************************************************** Howell PS Masaaki Sakai sings on all 4 songs on these 2 EPs, but the music is performed by... (see below) "Songoku", "Ima De Wa Ososugiru","Kono Michi no Hatemademo" are performed by GODIEGO. (Asano-san plays a truly *wonderful* guitar intro to "Kono Michi no Hatemademo" - Japanese version of "Thank You, Baby") "20 Okunen No Kurayami" MIGHT be performed by a Japanese band SHOGUN, because the song is arranged by Kazuo Ohtani of SHOGUN. Of course, the original "Havoc in Heaven" is written, arranged, and performed by GODIEGO) PPS My friend tells me that the song "Ima De Wa Ososugiru" definitely appeared in an episode of Monkey, not sure which, but it may have been in season 1, not season 2 as with the 3 other songs. Also, it apparently sounded kind of odd in the drama...it was not GODIEGISH, though it was written by Mickie Yoshino. _________________________________________________________________ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp - --------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
