Kamijo should be the opening act for Queen Kaya.

Really hope Kaya releases more solo music.

Crimson Shiva - Shokugan

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I do not know why, but I just eat up everything this band releases.

Of course I'm going to throw my money at this mini-album.

The original Zoolander is one of my favourite movies ever... but I watched it once, between 10-15 years ago. 

Not entirely hyped for Zoolander 2, it has pretty bad reviews... HOWEVER I saw in a trailer that !!!!MINOR SPOILER!!!!justin bieber gets killed!!!!MINOR SPOILER!!!! so I kinda want to see it..

I'm REALLY hyped for Deadpool, one day I will get out there and see it. If they make an X-Force movie based on the original Uncanny X-Force team (Deadpool, Psylocke, Angel, Wolverine, X-23, Fantomex) .. except, please swap Fantomex with Domino... I WOULD DIE. X-Force vol 3 & Uncanny X-Force are my favourite comic series.

Yeah.. well I thought Xillia was ok (even got the platinum trophy).. but I kind of hated Xillia 2 for some reason. Probably cuz a lot of it was cut and paste from Xillia.

I bought Zestiria recently ($35 sale on PSN), but haven't started it yet. I have heard very mixed things about it. 

This series probably needs an overhaul, but I doubt it will come with Berseria.. it's a PS3/PS4 game. When they finally drop PS3 there'll be a better chance of improvements.

Yes, I know.. in fact  ジョウ/Jyou and Joe are pronounced exactly the same. ジョウ is generally written out as Jou, but could also be spelt Jo, Jō, Joh, Jyou, Jyoh, Jyo, Jyō.

I could've sworn that page was titled "jyou.html" before. Or I just did not notice it before.

Was just wondering, because she must've used Jyou officially before since that's the accepted default Roman spelling of her name, so it is odd that web page is joe.html.   .. or maybe it's just that the first person to spell out her name in Roman letters used Jyou and it spread from there. shrug.

EGO-WRAPPIN' - 憐れみのプレリュード

.. not actually listening to it, but it's stuck in my head after reading news of their upcoming best-of

I really love some of their songs, gotta remind myself to check this out!

http://gematsu.com/2016/02/tales-berseria-rokurou-eleanor-further-introduced

Two new characters have been revealed for Tales of Berseria .. The girl looks kinda weird, but hot damn, I like the look of that ronin-samurai-looking dude. Dual sword wielder too..  Getting too hyped over here... I might actually buy this off JP PSN .. can't bother waiting for localization .. nggggg...

Song sounds OK so far, but I expected it to have more Asian-ness to it, given the Buddhist temple stuff... ... WHICH I LOVE. My dream house would basically look like a Buddhist temple.

... I like the band's look too.

QUESTION.. I just noticed the URL for Jyou's profile page is http://www.exist-trace.com/profile/joe.html

.. Is her name supposed to be spelt JOE???? Was it always like that? Did she change it? People have always seemed to use "Jyou".

What is the trial edition ? it will includes all the 6 tracks ?

From CD Japan's description.. "exist†trace 6曲入りミニアルバムリリース! 「ワン野口CD！限定トライアル盤」はCD音源は通常盤と内容変わらず、ジャケットや歌詞カードがないCD音源のみの仕様。"

Which I think means that the trial CD has the same songs, but has no booklet/lyrics/jacket.

 

I guess what I'm getting at is don't throw your money at these mega publishers/developers with preorders and day one purchases, wait a few days and read a review or watch a stream or just go read some forums... Just don't let these corporations walk all over us. If more people did this then all these shitty games that get released broken and utterly defective wouldn't make millions and in turn maybe we would get less broken games. As consumers we should have the power to change this.

 

Absolutely, pre-order culture is one of the worst things about video games these days. When you need things like the infamous Watch Dogs pre-order chart just to figure out what bonuses you get, you know there is a problem. And that's compounded with excessively buggy games that need extensive patching for weeks/months after release. There is almost ZERO purpose to pre-ordering a game, unless it's limited edition or you want those bonuses which are mostly crap/useless. Even worse are DIGITAL pre-orders...

 I've pretty much sworn off pre-ordering, especially since the price of games in Canada has skyrocketed because our dollar has tanked. Around 2 years ago they were $60, now they are $80.. but I just saw one upcoming game priced at $85, and some believe it could go up to $90 soon...... I now wait for price drops on everything because I refuse to pay more than the US$ price. Buying Japanese games (and music) has also gotten more expensive, because although the Yen's value crashed, the Canadian dollar crashed even harder.

I have played a number of VN's, mostly otome. I try to restrict myself to the ones on Playstation platforms, meaning zero 18+ content. They are great for learning Japanese.

Hakuouki - I think this was the first one I played in Japanese and it was difficult as hell due to the historical setting.. lots of terms I did not know.

Hakuouki Sweet School Life - Totally disturbed that this girl was dating her teachers

White Album 1 + 2 

Diabolik Lovers (Limited V edition + More Blood + Dark Fate)

Code:Realize 

Amnesia + Amnesia World - Only liked 2 of the guys, and World was total crap waste of money

Steins:Gate + Hiyoku renri no Darling - Actually I did not like these very much

彼女（あのコ）はオレからはなれない - Playing this on & off right now, it's kind of terrible

Danganronpa 1 + 2 - Played in English, not sure if these really count as VN

999 + Virtue's Last Reward - Played in English, not sure if these really count as VN

XBlaze Code Embryo - only bought this cuz I wanted to support English localization of VNs

Love Plus

Tokimeki Memorial Girls Side

.. there might have been a couple more for DS that I've forgotten.

Reine des Fleurs - I bought this last August and haven't touched it yet.. but it has the most beautiful characters ever

Hatoful Boyfriend - Bought for Vita, haven't played yet

I felt REALLY BAD about leaving certain albums off my original 9 and I can't stop thinking about it... so here are albums #10-18

Not in any particular order

1. 王菲 (Faye Wong) - 唱遊 (Sing and Play)

2. スネオヘアー (Suneohair) - a watercolor

3. HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT - VARY

4. ATTACK HAUS - W8

5. 東京事変 (Tokyo Jihen) - 教育 (Kyouiku)

6. REDЯUM - TOO YOUNG TO FALL IN LOVE

8. グリーヴァ (Grieva) - 鬼ト影-オニトカゲ- (Oni to Kage)

9. ゴシップ (Gossip) - 出戻り鬼畜サイコ野郎(再犯) (Demodori kichiku psycho yarou (saihan))

Every single one of these is amazing for different reasons pls check them out kthx

That's a shame, I really liked BANG ME cuz I thought it was really funny.

boy bang bang bang bang me now yeaaah

Maybe they were just really salty about not getting Budokan, which led them to write that song. Like "whatever man, we don't NEED Budokan, fuck going major"

Or maybe "going major" has nothing to do with Budokan? Major = (theoretically) making more money and having execs control your image & output.

Or maybe the whole Budokan thing was a joke in the first place?

Not that I care. As long as I like the new songs they can say whatever they want to say.

 ヶ is an abbreviation of 箇 , so they do mean the same thing. I am guessing both the band name and song name refer to the Shikoku Pilgrimage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikoku_Pilgrimage) . R-shitei is so educational!

I agree with the translation of the 2nd track.... or maybe it's "We don't give a shit about going major". Something like that.

I'm somewhat of a special case since I consider gaming to be my main hobby (even above anime and music) so I spend most of my money on it... Couple that with the fact that I'm a NEET (and the lifestyle that entails) and then you can probably guess why I have so much time to play all the games I want to.

 

Man I kind of wish I was a NEET. So envious of you! I would probably say gaming is my main hobby, but since I have a full time job and a "volunteer job" with my website, my gaming time is really limited. And I don't even have a social life to worry about.

Presently I am working my way through Witcher 3. At the rate I'm going, I'll finish it in like 6 months......... (I'm way too obsessed with looting every single container.)

how do u guys play so many games

Here are 4 of the individual pics (pulled from their twitters)

Otake is a lazybutt who hasn't put his picture up yet.

sorry these are so big.

yaaaaas give it to me

The title in English is "The misery of others tastes like honey"

I know I played Bahamut Lagoon with an emulator. So I was totally cheating with save states and .. maybe cheat codes. I don't remember a single thing about the story.

I did also play a Tenchi Muyo game.. I'm sure I finished it, but again, remember almost nothing about it. I played these games like 15 years ago.

No, it's just digital hoarding.. I have done the same with other types of downloaded media. Music, movies, tv episodes, comic books, games...

I am terrified of holding/playing with/taking care of babies and young children. Am I weird?

I've been listening to a lot of my faves from my pre-VK days, man there are some amazing songs I forgot I liked.

 

Ip Man is choreographed by Sammo Hung

Hmm, I was fairly certain I didn't see Sammo's name in the credits so I checked.. Ip Man 1 & 2 were choreographed by Sammo, while Ip Man 3 was choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping. This does make me more interested to see the other 2, so I can see if I'd notice a difference (I probably wouldn't).
