《阴翳礼赞》是日本文豪谷崎润一郎的随笔集，收录《阴翳礼赞》、《懒惰之说》、《恋爱及色情》、《厌客》、《旅行杂话》、《厕所种种》六篇随笔，是谷崎润一郎的随笔代表作。其中最广为人知的《阴翳礼赞》从“阴翳造就了东方建筑美”这一观点出发，衍生开来，探讨了东方建筑和文化的精妙之处。其他各篇也围绕东方和西方文化的差异，行文挥洒自如，旁征博引，妙趣横生，可以说建立了一个“谷崎式”的东方美学体系。 2015年为谷崎润一郎逝世五十周年，为纪念这位被称为“大谷崎”的日本文豪，上海译文出版社特推出“谷崎润一郎逝世五十周年纪念珍藏版”《阴翳礼赞》，由著名日本文学翻译家陈德文先生修订，以这一极具文学和美学价值的谷崎润一郎代表作精装版的出版来纪念这位令人难忘的文学大师。

塔奇克馬的日常 (英語：Ghost in the Shell: Tachikoma Days，日語：タチコマな日々, Tachikoma na Hibi;也被稱之為Tachikoma Specials) 是一部隨DVD附送的特典性質動畫短片，其出現在以DVD版本發行的電視動畫版攻殼機動隊的每話最後部分，就風格而言是部輕鬆搞笑的作品，作品的主角就是公安九課所使用的思考戰車塔奇克馬(Tachikoma),其內容上除了對部分劇情的哲學思考外也有起到對TV版動畫補完的作用.如今已經播放的攻殼機動隊 Stand Alone Complex以及第二部攻殼機動隊 S.A.C. 2nd GIG的每集的最後均有該短篇的身影，每集長度約為1分鐘左右.

Due to an unusual ability to see strange creatures called youkai, Takashi Natsume has never fit in. Over time, he has accepted that no one would ever believe him and has closed himself. When Natsume accidentally breaks an intangible barrier, he frees Madara—a mighty spirit in the form of a lucky cat. Madara notices that Natsume bears a remarkable resemblance to his late grandmother Reiko Natsume, an outcast girl who created the Book of Friends. It is now in Natsume's possession. With no interest in its powers, Natsume decides to keep the book for the sake of his grandmother's memories and to protect it from scheming youkai. Therefore, he makes a deal with Madara: he will hand him the book once his time is up, and in turn, Madara will act as Natsume's unofficial bodyguard. With his newfound goal of freeing those Reiko had sealed, Natsume's relationship with both youkai and humans slowly begins to improve.

《攻壳机动队SAC 2nd GIG》是根据士郎正宗漫画原作改编的第二季日本动画影集。 2004年1月1日于日本SKY电视播映。每集制作费高达3000万日元。 共26话。 故事内容延续第一部TV版攻壳机动队STAND ALONE COMPLEX的剧情继续发展。但TV版的2部作品与剧场版无甚联系，可以看做是两个平行世界里发生的事情。 这次TV版第2季的制作班底与第一部相同，同时剧情表达上和第一季一样，每话由不同故事构成，各自独立成章，却贯穿着同一条主线。在剧情上同时电影版导演押井守也参与了协力，不过电影版中凄凉的气氛没有在TV版第二季中体现。

It depicts the activities of the "Public Security Section 9" (commonly known as "Ghost in the Shell"), which was established as an independent counterintelligence unit under the direct control of the Ministry of Home Affairs to counter complicated crimes.
