resources
credit where credit is due!
It is important to acknowledge your sources and, while this shrine is pretty much a one-woman show behind the scenes, various resources have been utilised in order to create the product you see now. The following sites and site-owners have helped considerably in creation of this shrine:
• Yazawa Nao and MOMO-YOME: I cannot begin to express how helpful Yazawa-sensei has been to me over the past decade. A busy professional, Yazawa-sensei still takes the time to maintain the best wedding peach resource online (in two languages, no less) and communicate with fans. Not only has Yazawa-sensei given me gifts of merchandise and illustrations over the years, she has also donated her time for several interviews. So much of this site would not have been possible without Yazawa-sensei's help so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Yazawa-sensei! ♥
• ADV Films: Their licensed release of the series, directed at the English language market, was completely unexpected. For years the online community had dismissed the idea of a R1 Wedding Peach release but ADV came through with some fine DVDs fans can be proud to own. Not only have these DVDs provided high quality images for this shrine, the language tracks have also been handy.
• The various Wedding Peach books I own: This includes the original Japanese manga volumes, the various art books and film books that I have used as reference material for this site. Any ISBNs unlisted here can be found through Amazon Japan.
• Yahoo! Japan Auctions: I don't think I'd have half the random Wedding Peach merchandise I own without Yahoo! Japan. This is where the rare stuff surfaces and this site wouldn't exist without it!
