Sasuke 21 is taping this Sunday and for the past month I've been chanting this song LOL. Looks like there will be a bunch of us waking up at 5:30 am (Eastern) on Wednesday, September 17th to watch Sasuke 21 air live. So from Sunday to the next 2 Wednesdays I'll be chomping at the bit trying to figure out what happened. As of today we have a few people already confirmed and/or rumored to be coming:
