such an awesome song. makes me want to flyyyyyyyyyyy

Well it has been a short while.  Party due to the fact the client i use for blogging mysteriously stopped working, and partly due to being quite busy (ok, mostly just watching dramas and other jp tv but!) there has been a lack of anything posted here.  A few things to talk about now though!

Firstly, ouendan2!  i finally completed the game just today, after many many runs of the last stage, and probably some horribly permanent damage to my DS screen.  What a great sequel it was – cheerleader introduced some *very* interesting and challenging sequences that makes me laugh when going back and playing through ouendan1 on the same mode.  The music in the game is just as catchy, and the scenarios are just as fun as ever .  All that is left now is to go and get S ranks on each level.

Pure Pwnage dvds!!  i spent this weekend watching the commentary audio track versions of episodes 1-12, which was quite fun.  The dvd menus, presented as 8bit nintendo games modified with sprites that resemble Jeremy were such a great addition, along with the special blooper and interview scenes on the extra dvd.

Overall, it is a very finished package and definitely one of the few dvds which i will ever buy in my lifetime .  i think i had the OST on loop for so long i started to feel sick from singing the songs for hours, but it is really really good too.

「もうすぐあえなくなる・・・」 君の　突然のことば
何も考えられず　ただ俯いた
夜も眠れずに涙をこらえて　
ずっと答えを探してた
だけど本当に君が好きだから
信じ続けたい・・・

もう振り向かず　歩いてゆけるさ
いつかまた会うその日まで
君の夢がきっと叶う様に　
あの星に願っているよ。

i’ve always wondered about that whole pachinko fascination in japan. i really have to give it a go sometime — especially if they all have soundtracks as addictive as osu! bancho’s. i bought it in japan last time i was over there after sampling a few tracks, and still listen to it frequently for a lift :p.

so anyways! pure pwnage 13 came out yesterday. it was pretty good . dvds got delayed. not so good . oh and while we’re in the OSUing mood – ouendan 2 is set for release this month?? or apparently so, but it isn’t listed on any official sites and is yet to have a web site up at all. *mystery*. SPEAKING OF MYSTERY phoenix wright 2 is really fun! although i’ve kind’ve lost motivation on case 3 after how epic case 2 was… so far feels like a bit of a letdown/filler before the final revelations.

finally got around to recording planetarium. on another note – youtube really should work on their encoding process. a/v sync is really a hit or miss with each video – even when using the same encoding options at my end.. oh well!
