News: Singer and actress Noriko Sakai, who had been missing since Monday, has been arrested on drug possession charges after she turned herself in. Sakai performed the theme songs in Gunbuster, Video Girl Ai, and Anime Sanjushi. The first song inducted this week is for this talented but troubled star.

Here are my inductions into the Hall of Fame for Week 21:
