The Bonkurasu Brigade

From Huke’s blog, pictures of the Black Rock Shooter (and Dead Master-tan :3) plushies, inspired by chanxco’s extremely cute take on BRS/DM. These will not be on sale but will be put up as prizes at game centres sometime this month.

Lots of them.

Also, pictures of the stick poster and sticker set that will go on sale at the Pixiv Market (15th Nov) are up.

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.

Susukida, in charge of the direction of Persona 3 Portable here.

Till now, I have been working alongside Hashino and Soejima in Persona 3 and 4, designing event scenes, adding bits here and there to pace the story, but this time I will be working with the game system director Kido on the system layout and graphic design!

Part 4 of Famitsu’s P3P Creator’s Blog translations. They probably say it all the time because it’s their job, but have you preordered your copy yet? (lol)

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.

The readers may have had a chance to experience the game at the Tokyo Game Show last week, too.

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.

On to the translation of his first entry!

Hi, This is Meguro, in charge of the music of Persona 3 Portable

It’s been a month since the announcement of Persona 3 Portable, and some game screencaps have been released, so I’ll continue with an update on the music side.

If you choose the female main character in Persona 3 Portable, there is a selection of music tracks just for her route

School’s been busy with the start of my second (and final) semester of tiertary education, as well as another round of FYP madness. But here’s an update, because there’s been stuff of interest lately.

-Amagi Yukiko cameo in P3P

Only in the female main character’s route, P4 party character Amagi Yukiko will cameo in the PSP remake of P3.

Speaking of which, there are plenty of updates to the P3P Creators Blog, which I will translate and put up within this week.

And more updates after the jump.

And since I did nothing to celebrate, I decided to sing this song that came out of the Family Mart boom on Nicodou recently. It sorts of grows on you after a while, and you start humming it when doing homework, things like that.

And then the uncontrollable urge to sing it hits you. Brain worms, tsk.

Forgive my (fail) voice and forgive my (fail) microphone. Happy moe day!

Original here:

I’m home. And aching all over. My arms from swinging lightsticks, my feet from walking non-stop, my back from sleeping on the return flight.

I went to Japan again to enjoy the Silver Week (prrrrrrrrromotions!) and came back after four days with the fatigue of a 10-day journey. This post will highlight the interesting bits of this trip.

After the jump!

Ume here, writing from Shinjuku. This post will be terribly delayed because the internet doesn’t work at the hotel I’m staying in, but in any case I’ll be typing this report while everything is still fresh in my head.

It’s the Golden Ticket!

Pictures and concert impressions after the jump!

Wait, what?

Am I slow, or has this been announced on some corner of the internet? It says Little Busters Converted Edition after all, and doesn’t that refer to the PS2 edition? Still, it says Nintendo DS under console.

I… don’t know what to think anymore. In any case, here’s the link to the original post on Famitsu. The baseball bit would work out just fine on the DS, though…

Edit: It seems to be a typo, and is now fixed to say PS2 on the source.
