Dame Desu News

K-ON! the movie was nominated a Academy Award this past following week along with "From up on Poppy Hill," "Tofu Kozu," "Buddha: The Great Departure,"  and "Detective Conan The Quarter of Silence."
 The Award will be announced on March 2nd.

The award of an “Academy Prize” is probably amongst the least of the real distinctions despite the K-ON! movie has earned the film grossed almost 15 million dollars (1.14 billion yen) in its first month, being seen by over a million people.
