		Sakigake, Japan's first interplanetary mission, was essentially a test to prepare to send a second, almost identical probe called Suisei to study comet Halley.
		Both Sakigake and Suisei were part of the international fleet sent to study comet Halley as it passed through the inner solar system in the mid 1980s.
		Sakigake's main role was to provide a distant reference point to help scientists interpret data sent from probes that flew much closer to the nucleus of the comet.

		Hashimoto received 262 votes in the 500-member lower house of Parliament, largely due to a loose alliance his conservative Liberal Democratic Party formed with its old allies, the Social Democrats and the tiny Sakigake party.

		I'd rather ADV license the shows that few people hear about and are actually good than the crap they license just because it's either marketable or a hit in the fansub community, such as Maburaho.

		Director Yudai Yamaguchi (Battlefield Baseball) has a fine talent for staging deadpan silliness, and the majority of the jokes have been proven twice before, in both the manga and the anime.
