Welcome to this weeks super sPoOoKy edition of Monkey News, the Halloween themed news roundup for everything Boo-pin the Third!

OK, maybe there is nothing too scary about the content within this week’s news. Let’s just use our imagination instead. Maybe put on some spooky music whilst reading to help mark the occasion?

Yuji Ohno, the Lupintic Six and the Fujikochans to perform at the Raisin Hall this December!

Yuji Ohno, the Lupintic Six and the Fujikochans are back just in time for the holidays!

Tickets for the crew’s big end of year concert are soon to go on sale. The concert will take place on the 26th of December at the Raisin Philharmonic Hall in Shiojiri, Japan.

Tickets are to go on sale for around 5,500 yen per person and the show is expected to feature plenty of tunes from the series past - with no doubt a few additional holiday themed treats!

Yuji Ohno always sounds fantastic live, so this will no doubt be a spectacle that is not to be missed! Be sure to keep an eye on Ohno’s official website and book tickets early if you would like a space.

The concerts flyer shown above includes artwork from Ohno’s 2017 album, The Best Compilation Of Lupin The Third Lupin! Lupin!! Lupinissimo!!!

Lupin III VS Godzilla event detailed!

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Lupin is going toe to toe - or should that be, toe to claw with the king of the monsters himself, Godzilla!

The Godzilla crossover promotion with the upcoming 3DCG film Lupin III: The First is actually a real life puzzle game!

Fans can take part in the event at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya on the 3rd of November for 500 yen a pop.

Please ensure you attend between the times of 10:00 to 19:00 if you would like to purchase a ticket and take part. Each entrant is guarenteed an A4 clear file, which features artwork made specifically for the event.

More details can be viewed on the Godzilla 65th anniversary events official website.

Godzilla does have the size advantage, but my money is on Lupin, naturally!
