This month’s issue of Newtype magazine, out August 9, has some news about Mouryou no Hako, the anime adaptation from the homonymous novel with character concept by CLAMP.

The anime will start in October/2008 and will be aired in Nippon TV.

The Opening theme song will be called Lost in Blue and the Ending theme will be called NAKED LOVE, both to be performed by the band Nightmare.

The single will be out September 17 in several editions, check the covers at the band’s official website. At the moment the single’s tracklist doesn’t include the song NAKED LOVE, but the source reports that both songs will be performed by Nightmare (who also performed for the Death Note anime).

Two months away to begin the broadcast! I’ll be looking forward to it. I think a J-rock band is a good pick for this kind of anime, even though I don’t know Nightmare’s music.

Lastly, here‘s the cover of this month’s Kindai Mahjong Original magazine, which features a one-shot manga drawn by CLAMP about the manga Washizu. From what I could understand, the one-shot comes in an appendix.

The magazine is out tomorrow.
