The region is known for its caves. They're used for housing, hotels, bars, etc. I believe these are man-made caves and exist since antiquity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadocia https://www.google.pt/search?q=caves+turkey+cappadocia&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=675&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CD4QsARqFQoTCKzejdjX8scCFYRXGgodwA8BqA |

I find the cave thing kinda hilarious... I wanna know how much the composer made. The lyrics and great and all but the CATCHY aspect of the song is from the composer...
It says ANNUALLY. That's, per year. Unless that was a typo... |

Well, she composed one of my favorite songs, which is the opening song to one of my favorite shows ever made. But that ridiculously expensive cave her EX-husband bought in Turkey? That is just weird. As for her not watching the anime, that's understandable, she's a composer, not necessarily an anime fan. Plenty of artists and performers never view their own work... plenty of actors never watch their own movies, plenty of people involved in making anime never watch the final product because they are already busy on the next project by then. There is a big difference between people involved in creating something and people who are fans of it... the fans want to watch or listen to whatever they are fans of, and the creators usually want to create new stuff and move on to something else. I would also note that her song A Cruel Angel's Thesis is conspicuously absent from the 3 recent Rebuild of Evangelion movies and probably will also be absent from the 4th one. Probably this is because of all the new music being composed for the Rebuild movies like the Hikaru Utada songs and so on. Still, I hope they work A Cruel Angel's Thesis into the 4th movie at some point, perhaps as background music (it is used as background music at the very end of the last episode of the series, probably to underscore the constant theme in all Evangelion media that "the beginning is the same as the end").

I'm curious whether "over a hundred million yen" is the amount she averaged per year, or that was the highest amount she made in a specific year. The following statement makes me believe that it might be an average, which is more impressive:
If the pachinko royalties themselves reached 100 million yen at times, that would appear to argue against "over 100 million yen" being a peak royalty amount. That said, if 100 million yen per year is an average, someone having only 100,000 yen in the bank after 300 million was spent is concerning. Hopefully she has a lot tied up in investments that aren't reflected by her bank account. |

It just raises alarm bells when her ex-husband and not her current husband if she has one is spending her money on a cave. |

The articles didn't say "karaoke bars," they just said "karaoke." And establishments with private karaoke rooms are both commonplace in big cities and heavily-attended by teenagers. I also think you overestimate how much time has passed the series by, given how regularly and widespread Evangelion-related products and advertisements come up. (Besides, the movies have made it fresh on public - or at least fandom - consciousness again.)
Well, that's just you. A lot of people do, and a lot of other people don't necessarily enjoy it but still respect it and what it's accomplished. |

I find it interesting that the Turkey national soccer team plays in Europe even though it is located in Asia.
I've never seen Evangelion, but I love the opening song. |

Cappadocia is filled with tons of wacky rock formations and caves. Some caves are totally man-made these days but, very often, back in the day, small caves would be expanded by residents for a wide range of things from simple homes to temples and tomb complexes. Cappadocia is isolated by the lands around it and its summers are notoriously brutal. Caves make great sense for their insulation and consistent temperature.
It's in both Europe and Asia. The capitol, Istanbul, is in Europe. Getting to Evangelion, however, I'm kind of dumbfounded about creators never seeing the things they make (or make stuff for in this case). I see articles or hear interviews all the time wherein an actor, songwriter, etc. says they have never and will never watch what they made. I'm not an actor but this kind of stuff baffles me. |
