Logo: On a black background, we see a white swirl. The swirl "unwinds" to reveal the Kirin Entertainment logo (a bunch of white planks with screws in them that form the letters that spell "KIRIN", and the word "ENTERTAINMENT" (with part of the A, all of the I, and part of the second N covered up by the tip of the R in "KIRIN"). After about six seconds, the Kirin Entertainment logo "winds" back up again into another white swirl.
