Janne Da Arc's "DOLLS" is definitely one of my fave songs from them! Came out right when I was first getting into Japanese music, and that album (ARCADIA) was a pretty big influence on me. 01 スガシカオ (Suga Shikao) - 性的敗北 (Seiteki haiboku) [2000] 02 スネオヘアー (Suneohair) - moon face [2005] 03 Heartsdales - Wet'N Wild feat. SUITE CHIC [2003] 04 栗山千明 (Kuriyama Chiaki) - おいしい季節 (Oishii kisetsu) [2011] 05 GO!GO!7188 - パパパンツ (Papa Pantsu) [2002] 06 Earth, Wind & Fire - September [1978] 07 ペンタゴン (Pentagon) - 蝿 (Hae) [2015] 08 荘野ジュリ (Shono Juli) - オルゴール (Orgel) [2004] 09 山本サヤカ (Yamamoto Sayaka) - 祭りのあと (Matsuri no ato) [2005] 10 Erykah Badu - Penitentiary Philosophy [2000] (I added the year of release out of personal interest. Wow a lot of my music is 'old') Hmm, this is a pretty nice genre spread, lol. While I'm tempted to give it to the Heartsdales track (for being unintentionally hilarious and also featuring Queen Namie), or Kuriyama Chiaki (because I love her and was surprised that she is a capable-enough singer and that song was written by Shiina Ringo), I will award the win to Suneohair. I feel like he is very underappreciated. "moon face" is a great chill track with a nice bass line.

I never posted in that Top 10 favourites thread, therefore this list is invalid! not that it would have changed anything The only ones in the top 50 that I would've had in my list are D'espairsRay, the GazettE, and Kiryu And I've never even heard of deadman before. Maybe not surprising.

Sorry to spam with Yakuza 6 posts (not actually sorry) but... Also in the game: DIVE AND SHOOT FISH BATTLE WITH SHARKS BABYSIT A BABY RUN YOUR OWN GANG PLAY UKELELE IN FRONT OF A CROWD HANG OUT WITH DRINKING BUDDIES GET SWOLE PLAY CLASSIC SEGA GAMES BASEBALL SIMULATION GAME MANAGE A GODDAMN CAT CAFE <-- day 1 confirmed this is clearly the greatest game series ever i don't understand why it is not selling 50 million copies

delays ahoy! South Park has been delayed to "Q1 2017" .. welp, that frees up time for FFXV. edit: More Yakuza hype! These gifs LOOK incredible, I hope the final product looks like this.

This is SO HYPE lol WOW NEW PRICE YEN WOW WOW LINEUP NOW Japanese rappers literally rapping about upcoming PS4 games. Including FFXV, Persona 5, TLG, Gravity Daze 2, World of FF, and Yakuza 6 If this doesn't convince Japanese gamers to buy a PS4, nothing will =p ~ Speaking of Yakuza 6... Although I feel like I'm the only fan of Yakuza around here... New details about Yakuza 6 (early plot spoilers, don't click if you don't want to know. don't even read the URL) This series is so crazy. I love it. Also, they are giving Kiryu a smartphone for texting/social media/selfies (lol). He's using the latest XPERIA (though it's not the android UI). I will be tickled every time I see that phone because I literally just bought the exact same phone in the same colour. (actually, not sure if it's X/XA/XP/XZ/XC but they all kinda look the same) Kiryu looks old. And yes, that is the janky Xperia camera interface. Anyway, getting super tempted to get this as soon as I'm done with FFXV (it's out Dec 8, holy hell those 2 weeks are packed). Ain't waiting years for localization like a scrub.

Well, if it let me button through the dialogue (instead of waiting for the text to scroll out slowly and forcing me to listen to those "voices") I would've bumped it up to 8/10. That issue also contributed to the game feeling too long. If the brush controls worked properly 100% of the time (or maybe I just suck at drawing with analog stick) I would've bumped it up to 9/10. I still think it is overall a great game and I understand how most people would've given it high scores at the time. I'm a bit of a tough critic with .. maybe unconventional tastes, don't be salty! Hey, congrats man! Now you can watch your backlog grow even bigger!

Not gonna lie My first thought when I saw that PS4 was "oh god who spilled something on that ps4??" I guess it looks ok. But the new slim model has one huge problem for me - they removed the optical port. I specifically bought new speakers with optical ports so I could use optical audio with my PS4. (my display is a computer monitor...) So if I'm gonna replace my OG PS4, I'd have to buy the Pro... *frowny face*

There's a kid who befriends a gigantic dog/cat/bird creature. (and I do mean GIGANTIC) They explore some ruins together. That's the extent of my knowledge on this topic.

I finished Okami last week. All the complaints I mentioned before still stand. Brush controls were slightly annoying to use, but definitely a novel gameplay element. However, unreliable enough that I will not bother getting the platinum trophy (the description of the demon gate trials scared me off). Glacial pace of the dialogue text (along with horrible "voices") also hurt my impression of the game. Had fun with it overall, but it was maybe too long. Probably a 7/10 game for me. Played some Catlateral Damage over the weekend. Play as a cat and knock over as many objects as possible. Features a dedicated meow button. It's a dumb game great for a crazy cat lady. The big problem for me is that it is first person. After maybe 15 minutes my stomach gets painful/queasy, and it gets worse the longer I play. I've experienced this before while playing The Unfinished Swan (also first person) and Grow Home (not first person but maybe the extreme heights and/or weird camera affected me).. Started Divinity: Original Sin and played for a couple of hours. Wow this game. Already died due to my AI companion stepping on an obvious trap X_X It's a little awkward to play with a controller, but at least the combat is turn-based so I can take my time fumbling around. Anyway the dialogue is funny at times... one thing to mention.. you have to make 2 "main" characters, so I made one who's supposed to be a Harley Quinn-esque psycho, and the other is.. well, supposed to be closer to my actual personality. So you can make dialogue choices for both of them, and based on what I want them to be, they're gonna disagree on some stuff. But if they disagree, I have to do this dumb rock-paper-scissors minigame to figure out who wins, so I ended up just making them agree all the time. I guess that stuff works better in co-op.

hahahahaha The Last Guardian has been delayed to Dec 6

彼は死に、彼女は消えた。 冷たい雨が降り注ぐ、 長い夜のはじまり。 The title is better translated to "Night / which is the darkness that visits everything equally" The 3-line description is roughly "He died, she disappeared. The cold rain pours down, the beginning of the long night." Seems like classic Temari Previews (posted in other thread by @薔薇の末裔 ) sounds amazing, i need this, but how to get it??? :'(

- moved to other thread -

I have always assumed they're referring to Mary (mother of Jesus). According to Japanese Wikipedia, she's called マリア (Maria) in Japanese. It could also represent a virgin, or a chaste/virtuous girl, or a motherly figure etc.... Maybe?

sssso... I used google to figure out where your images came from They are all from this twitter account https://twitter.com/lopechante This tweet specifically This person APPEARS to be a female model/talento who used to be part of the all-girl band Bi;shop Photo taken from: http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/11/04/bishop-disbands/

T_T Fine fine I will watch the anime and film. I was going to watch the film anyway because I'm interested in their achievements in CG. Those screenshots were amazing looking. Will probably watch them right before I start the game.

While I hope you do change your mind about it, it's totally fine if you still don't like it. To each their own

They've put out way too many videos/interviews/demos for FFXV. I'm kind of sick of hearing about it. I'm going on media blackout. Not even going to watch the anime or movie until after the game, IF the game leaves a good taste in my mouth. Does anyone expect FFXV to be amazing game of the year quality? I fully expect this game to be janky as hell. I will only be disappointed if I end up liking it less than Lightning Returns.

"disastrous full album"??? i REALLY liked most of it *shrug* And I like this mini too, except for "Bokura no uta" which is a little too ..positive-sounding.. for me. Pentagon has cemented their spot in my fave current VK bands list. And yes, fuck internet trolls etc etc

Eh, I'm really used to this microtransaction shit by now. Sadly. Ubisoft has done this in Assassin's Creed Black Flag/Unity/Syndicate, if my memory is correct. Yes it bothered me to see that stuff in-game, but in the end, none of the stuff purchasable via microtransaction was needed to finish the games. And I am sure that this kind of thing has happened in MANY recent games. Re: Deus Ex, this is a statement from Eidos' community manager. As long as that statement is true, I don't necessarily have a HUGE problem with it. I'd love for this shit to disappear, but the truth is, there are people who will purchase this stuff and make it worthwhile for big publishers to continue forcing it into the games.

http://www.gameblog.fr/news/61799-assassin-s-creed-the-ezio-collection-confirme-en-image Leaked marketing materials have confirmed the existence of the Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection (2/Brotherhood/Revelations) for PS4/XB1. Probably will have slight graphical upgrades. Expected to be 1080p/30fps, release in November, include all DLC + 2 animated films, and sell for less than full price (< $60) I remember loving the hell out of 2 and Brotherhood. Revelations not so much. But I had borrowed all 3 games, so I wouldn't mind paying for this collection. Eventually. November is kind of a shit time to release this. Also, where is Rogue for PS4? It's the only major AC game I haven't played, because it was stuck on PS3, and people seem to think highly of it.

They probably picked Insanity Injection (and the horrifying clown face DADAROMA pv) because they wanted to get better reactions. I doubt the goal was to get them interested in VK. The goal was to get them to make funny faces and make funny comments.. (to that end, I'm more surprised they picked THE INVISIBLE WALL, which is a fairly bog-standard unremarkable GazettE song+pv, IMO)

More stuff I forgot about before マジ !?!?!? or マジ で !?!??! 本当に ???? 勘弁してくれよ... オイ! ぶっ殺してやるぞ !!! I learned a lot from playing a bunch of Yakuza games in Japanese, so that's why I love "gangsta" phrases/dialect, lol Unfortunately I can't roll my R's so I can't actually sound super tough IRL..

jealkb will release their new single "reboot" on 2016.11.02 for 1200 yen Tracklist: 1. reboot / 2. by your side / 3. System / 4. A ray of hope Also worth noting that they have dubbed this phase of their activities "Act2". This CD is their first major release since their June 2014 album. Vocalist Haderu posted this photo to his instagram on Aug 3, which apparently got people talking about how he suddenly resembles Takanori Nishikawa (TM Revolution). (???) I don't see it...

I'd love to get a newer picture for jazz singer akiko. http://www.last.fm/music/Akiko/+images I uploaded a bunch of new photos (taken from her website), hopefully we can overtake the old pictures. Please upvote/downvote as you see fit
