Biography from TheMovieDB

Novelbright is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013 in Osaka signed to Universal Sigma. They were previously signed to indie label Emperor Mode (2018–2020) and Emperor Driver (2020). The band began in 2013 with Takenaka Yudai when he started writing songs in the wake of starting a ONE OK ROCK copy band in high school. In January 2017, guitarists Yamada Kaito and Oki Sojiro and drummer Negi joined the band. They made their debut on January 27, 2017 with the mini-album Chandelier. In October 2018, they released their first nationwide mini-album SKYWALK.  In January 2019, bassist Keigo joined the band. On September 4th, their second mini-album EN. was released. That same month, the group became popular on SNS after posting a video on Tiktok of them performing an acoustic version of the song "Walking with you" on the street in front of Sendai Station. The video garnered over 200,000 likes and 48,000 retweets on Twitter, and the song began to chart on various streaming platforms, hitting the #1 spot for eight consecutive weeks on the Spotify Japan viral chart and #2 on Japan Line Music BGM.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
