Finally had a chance to get lots of stuff posted that my wonderful visitors have been sending in! Extra special thanks for their patience, in addition to their writing, to Chris, Silver, Michiko, Ruka, Katieryn, and Pablo for their confessions. And, many thanks again to Katieryn, who also sent in her story The Scientist, which I have posted in the fanfic section.
03.13.05 I'm currently busy as usual, and am regrouping and reorganizing my entire domain. Less than 2 weeks now until BP's fourth anniversary! Currently, I'm working on a new version with new content to debut later this year. For now, I've added a couple of new confessions sent in my recent visitors. Thank you! Also, a big thank you to Josh for allowing me to post his cosplay in the fanart section. Links have also been checked and updated.
12.08.04 I was busy. Then my computer was broken. Now it is fixed and I have posted a confession that was sent to me last month. Thank you very much to Chris for sending in your thoughts and then waiting for ages to have it up on the site. -_-;; There should not be so long of delay in posting material sent in to BP anymore, and I do apologize for this delay.
08.25.04 Just wanted to post up some confessions that were sent in this past week. No time as always, but just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. -.-;;
05.17.04
Gomen, gomen! I really didn't mean to be away so long, but cosplay just doesn't make itself. ;) Back from ACen now and though there wasn't much SKU merch out there to buy, but I was a very happy girl to see a Mikage cosplayer on Saturday night! I might have glomped him if he hadn't looked so tired and surly (it was quite late), but at least I got his picture! ^^ Now, for site stuff! A new confession from the shadow girl Z-ko has finally been posted, and I have gone through the links and updated those. Don't forget to vote in the poll, and more stuff will be coming soon. Errr... eventually.

First of all, I wanted to say happy third anniversary to Beyond Pink! I opened up this shrine to the pink-haired one on March 26, 2001. I have had a lot of fun keeping it up so far and am looking forward to making it even better in the coming months. A new Ohtori student has joined the Mikage Seminar and their confession is now posted. Also, a new poll has been posed, so go vote on that.
03.13.04
Finally got a chance to check through the links, updated them and added some new ones. I'm very sad to say the new version won't be done this month due to being over-busy IRL T.T and probably won't be done soon, since I'm making major improvements and content revisions to the entire site. So, enjoy it as-is for now, but look forward to Beyond Pink 3: Bigger. Better. Bishounener.
01.12.04
Happy New Years all! Now that live is more or less back to normal, it's time for some website updating. I'm very, very sorry this has taken me so long, but new students have entered the confessional elevator and their confessions are now posted. Also, special thanks to Gerald Tarrant who has sent in some Mikage-Tokiko fanfic which resulted in the creation of said section. To round things up, I checked through the links. I have now started on the new version of BP which I hope to have live by the next anniversary in late March. Wish me luck! ^^;;
11.13.03
The last Utena DVD has just come out this week! And, now I'm back in action on this site. I added a couple of new confessions from past visitors who braved the elevator. Also, I have checked through the links and replaced a couple of the buttons with spiffy newly designed ones. The biggest news for now is my decision to have no more major updates on this site until the next version comes out, which I am currently working on. However, I have a few other web things on my to-do list so it'll probably be the new year before it's all ready to go. Until then, I'll basically leave this as-is, just checking links and adding in stuff visitors send to me. I'm going to be doing some major tweaking of navigation and writings, since most of it was created almost 3 years ago. So, look forward to that in the 'near' future!
09.04.03
Just finished up a couple of new duelist profiles for Shiori and Mitsuru which are now up on that page. Continue to vote in the poll and I'll keep working on sections of BP!
08.18.03
I have checked through the links. Also, the poll question has been updated. I am looking at some major updates and a new version of BP in the coming weeks... or months depending on how the new design goes. The new poll question asks you visitors what you'd most like to see improved so I know what to do first! If you can think of any other suggestion please feel free to leave it in the guestbook and thanks in advance for any feedback! ^^
07.10.03
A new student has entered the confessional elevator, welcome C-ko to the Mikage seminar!
06.24.03
Just checked through the links and added a new one to a general Utena site I helped create, Gogai! Gogai! Go visit for all your SKU needs!
06.01.03
A couple of new confessions are posted from the elevator from new students who joined the Mikage seminar these past couple of weeks.
05.05.03
Just a little bit of house-keeping. Fixed Kozue's episode number on the Darkened Roses page; found a Mikage-orientated site which I added to the links; and finally got around to cleaning up code on the essay page, and also on the Celeste essay itself.
05.02.03
Finally started writing up about the Black Rose duelists. Little profiles on Kanae and Kozue are now up under the Darkened Roses page. Also, links have been cleaned up and a couple of new ones added. Only a week and a half until the Black Rose saga DVD box set is out!
03.31.03 Due to my lack of time last week there was a bit of a backlog, but I now have posted 3 new confessions from students who have entered the elevator these last few days. The path before you has been prepared...
03.26.03 Now celebrating 2 years of Beyond Pink online! In honor of this second anniversary, the uber-cool Fro has drawn a little Mikage holding a birthday cake (with 2 candles nonetheless) and I put it on the main page. Oh so fancy! I am really happy with how BP has grown over the years, and am still having a blast, I hope you visitors enjoy it half as much as I do.
03.24.03 Happy spring everyone! ^^ A new student has joined the Mikage Seminar and entered the confessional elevator.
03.13.03
I have thought of a new question for the poll, this time it calls for a more "serious" opinion. Also, another student has entered the confessional elevator. And, call me a baka but it was over 3 months ago that I emailed Bevin and she said I could post her fanart up here at BP. But, I totally forgot to do so! Anyways, her lovely piece of Mikage and Utena is now up in the fanart gallery. Links have been cleaned up as well, and last but not least the Black Rose DVD box set is set to be released on May 13. It will feature episodes 14-24 on 4 discs in a box, but it does not appear to have anything extra beyond what the individual discs had... well, I certainly hope not, since I already have those! Anyways, it has a MSRP of $99.99.
02.25.03 A new student has joined the Mikage Seminar and entered the confessional elevator.
02.21.03 Another confession is up. I have also updated the links. There have been quite a few votes in the current poll, so I should be changing it soon. If you have any question ideas, email them to me, or put it in the guestbook.
02.03.03
I just found the new box art for the final Black Rose saga DVD. The trend of misusing the original LD covers continues... (that Juri-Shiori pic was from LD volume 3, which was the Juri duel episode from the Student Council saga; Juri and Shiori have little to nothing to do with the final Black Rose eps!) But still, I am willing to forgive them that for not only releasing the DVDs but also creating UtenaTV.com the new official Utena series site. They have a basic story summary, some trailers, and a nice image gallery of large pics made for use as desktop wallpaper. Go check it out!
01.06.03 Happy New Year! Fro is having fun drawing more chibi Mikage and I put her new snowman piece up on the main page; the original is up in the fanart gallery. Also, a new student has entered the confessional elevator and links have been checked.
12.12.02 Just didn't want this to get missed among all the DVD release info... I have now changed the poll question and put all the past results (for the first 2 questions) up. Go vote and let us know what you think! I have also cleaned up the links page.
12.12.02
Alright, I just found out some information on the release of the final 2 DVDs of the Black Rose Saga!
- Impatience and Longing (volume 4; episodes -20) Will release on 01.14.03 "Utena's best friend Wakaba entertains a secret gentleman caller. But mysterious forces twist her tender feelings into jealousy and hate. Will Utena lose her friend forever?"
- Darkness Beckoning (volume 5; episodes 21-23) Will release on 03.11.03 "While exploring the campus, Utena discovers an eerie building where a hundred students died many years ago. There she encounters a mysterious and nefarious professor. Will Utena become the next pawn in his experiment?"
12.10.02 Yea, more fanart in the fanart gallery is up, this time a lovely piece by Bevin that melds Mikage and Utena. ^^
11.26.02 Two more have entered the confessional elevator and joined the Mikage Seminar. Also, I am trying to think of another fun poll, so if you haven't voted in the current one, do so now while you still can!
11.12.02 Another Mikage Seminar attendee has entered the elevator and given a confession. Also, remember that today the first Black Rose DVD is out! Mikage comes to America! I am on my way to pick up a copy now. ^^
10.22.02
It was just brought to my attention by Maiko Tenjou (thank you!!!) to announce the commercial release of the Black Rose saga/arc in North America, starting next month with the third Utena DVD, Black Rose Blooms. Now maybe more people will come to know and love Mikage!
The first DVD will be released November 12, 2002 with a list price of $29.99; if you are interested in pre-ordering, I suggest the following online options:
Buy.com ($19.49 plus shipping; however after release, most in-stock DVDs at Buy.com have free shipping)
Anime Castle ($22.49 plus shipping)
Amazon.com ($22.49 plus shipping)
Anime Nation ($26.99 plus shipping)
10.11.02 D'oh! I forgot about a confession that has been sitting in my inbox all week, so now I have that one posted as well. I have also updated the links, added a couple of new ones, and rearranged them.
10.09.02 Another confession is up as collected in the elevator from a new Mikage Seminar attendee.
10.07.02 I finally have the new poll question up, so go vote.
09.10.02 Thanks to the wonderful Akiotena Tentori there is new fanart up in that gallery- specifically Mikage cosplay, the fashion fanart. ;) Also, Celeste has entered the confessional elevator and joined the Mikage Seminar. I am actually thinking up a new poll question, so if you haven't said which your favorite Black Rose duel is, go vote now!
08.27.02 Another Mikage Seminar attendee has entered the confessional elevator and I have cleaned up the links quite a bit, rearranging and adding links to some sites I have finally found again.
08.09.02 Just a couple of quickie changes. Some new duelists have entered the confessional elevator, and I added a new link to a Juri shrine called Fallen Angel. If you run or know of an active Black Rose shrine/site, please let me know! (bunnybeth78@hotmail.com)
07.30.02 You may have noticed that version 2.0 is active! I hope you all like it, I slaved over my mac for many hours to bring it to you. It features wonderful fanart by the wicked kewl FRO and slighty updated navigation and content. There is a page starting to talk about the Black Rose duelists and some new fanart up, as well as house-cleaning for the links and some new ones added. As always, I invite you to join the Mikage Seminar in the Crypt section, and send me any Black Rose fanart or links... especially ones of Mikage. And, here is my beleted apology for leaving you all hanging for so long. Wedding plans and lack of internet connection at home really hung me up. I hope this new version makes it (somewhat) better!
Old updates
