The Bonkurasu Brigade

For everyone else playing Love Plus, check the event schedule! A girl techno unit called Parfume will be playing at the event hall, starting on the second week of November.

Wait, girl techno? Parfume? Wait, what?

Will Love Plus emulate reality to the extent of there not being seats at all (And thus potentially make Rinko angry at me for dragging her to a crowded mosh pit of crazed fans?)? Will there be a PTA?

I… I don’t really understand anymore. I’ll go! I’ll go to this Parfume live!

And sign me up for PTA.

In other news, Fujita Saki (Voice of Hatsune Miku) has gone from voicing bananas to voicing pudding. I am gripped by a sudden urge to get one of those.

Hi, Hashino here.

The release date of Persona 3 Portable is drawing near

Getting into the Top 30 Most Anticipated new game releases on Weekly Famitsu has been something greater than what we had expected.

How was it?

An update of translations of the entries on the Famitsu Persona 3 Portable Creator’s blog. Meguro Shoji probably needs no introduction, and I’m really looking forward to the new tracks.

Bandai always loves to release nice gunpla in the last quarter of the year. And here’s my list of the drool-worthy gunpla that caught my attention:

Master Grade Blue Frame 2L

The original was good, but of course, any Master Grade treatment for any 1/100 NG kit is always much, much better. Not to mention, I like the Astray series (except for the current one) better than all the anime designs.
