You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.
The magic word is Metadata.
Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.
There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!
“Adding Your Contact And Copyright Info To Your Photos With Photoshop” on PhotoshopEssentials.com
I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.
Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to.
Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.
RP Theater vol. 1: Namidabashi Ding Dong Band
August 10 ~ 14
(A stage to commemorate Yagami Ren’s 10 years anniversary as an actor)

Story:
That bridge is called Namidabashi (Bridge of Tears).
It's because people who are defeated by life and tumbled down into impoverished town are shedding their tears as they cross the bridge.
But there's a man who on the contrary want to cross that kind of bridge.
The one who stand up in the middle of those who are tired and giving up is the son of a Chindon-ya who retired many years ago.
"People who do an outdated job like Chindon-ya are fools."
Contrary to the last words of his father, the man started working as a Chindon-ya.
It's true that the man is a fool. He doesn't understand difficult things.
But once he decided on something, he won't feel satisfied until he does it thoroughly.
Let's raise our face and live on.
Smile everyday.
Create a new form of Chindon-ya.
And then make the people in this town cheer up.
Attracted by that man's feelings, his comrades gathered.
And they call themselves this:

The new Card Captor Sakura manga will start in the July issue of Nakayoshi magazine (on sale June 3rd).
The promo image says Sakura is now in the seventh grade (first year of junior high school), which means the story will take place after the events of the original work.
The plot line suggests that the story will take place around a strange dream seen by Sakura.
The promo image says it’s gonna be a series and not a one shot.
Ryuseitai seiyuu and Hello Kitty from Ryuseitai in Sanrio Puroland Event.
Look at how the seiyuu wear their character’s image color (; v ;)
(Also the report matome said that Takumi, Midori’s seiyuu, almost cried at the end of the night show because this is his first event and then Kitty-san hugs him asdfds)
