Ex-Morning Musume Member Designs New Digimon!

Former Morning Musume member, Mari Yaguchi designed a new Digimon called Panbachimon which will appear in 25th episode of Digimon Xros Wars on February 1! She also recorded the voice for the new character last January 19, the day before her birthday and is a big fan of the said anime and wanted to try becoming a voice actress.

The opportunity to work on Digimon began with Yaguchi's appearance on the Anime Seisaku Senyū Tour!! Digimon ga Dekiru Made program last October. Panbachimon's body has the top half of a panda and the bottom half of a bee. Its special moves include Bamboo Leaf Cutter and Poison Stinger, although Panbachimon does not use these moves in the said episode.

Love Machine by Occult Academy's Maya!

Roamed a around a little and stumbled upon xxxholic/wing's post about Maya Kumashiro of Occult Academy doing a cover of Morning Musume's 1999 hit, Love Machine... while seeing an edited music video with scenes coming from the anime which includes zombie headmaster dancing!

Fun fact: Maya's seiyuu, Yoko Hikasa is also the seiyuu of K-ON!'s Mio Akiyama. No wonder I was fangasming a little bit while hearing her sing! For the full length cover, you can check this one. For the original Morning Musume hit, you can check this one.
