| 4:05am | Moogy on HiME, Xenoglossia, Sorakake |  | | | J.P. twittered a link just now, where Moogy talks about the succession issue in regards to currently running Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo. I only watched some 3 minutes of ep.1 of it, and I’m considering if I should continue. So, the post was quite informative (as far as I can trust Moogy). It’s... | | |
| 9:56pm | Kotori Otonashi |  | | | My insatiable hunger for Idolm@ster videos led me from Youtube to Nico, where I found this fan edition: The chick represents Kotori, the non-playable character. She is an office assistant in the 765 Studios. On the Master of Master CD, she does the Talk 02 track and “is made by audience”... | | |
| 9:04am | Idolmaster xenoglossia: a review | | | | A year ago, I was browsing through a Chinese forum and heard a wonderful piece of Christmas music. After digging around for a little bit I discovered that it was from Idolmaster. Of course, I didn’t know that it was a xbox360 game and decided that I should go and watch the anime. Somehow I kept... | | |
| 9:12pm | iDOLM@STER SP Arrives! | | | | Yes, I did buy all three versions. At least I’m not crazy like that crazy Japanese fan who bought 39 copies of the game (Sankaku, so possibly NSFW) in order to get all the different stores pre-order bonuses. Instead, I just got three sets of the alternative sleeves for the game. Sourcing import... | | |
| 7:47pm | 765 and 961 in Idolm@ster |  | | | I was wondering what the studio names mean in Idolm@ster, and DiGiKerot said: The trick is that the character for 6 can be pronounced Mu or Mutsu or similar, so it contracts to NaMuGo, or, rather, Namco, the name of the developer of the iM@S games. I think 961 is supposed to be Kuroi I began to pay... | | |
| 7:17pm | Gia on Azumanga |  | | | Gia’s article at AnimeVice reminds us about the 10th anniversary of the original manga run. It’s going to be three long years until the anniversary of anime. Azuma’s manga upon which it’s based is a 4koma comic strip, and in my opinion helped pave the way for later such strips... | | |
| 12:18pm | Shopping in Akihabara |  | | | Member meronpan goes on a spending spree in Akihabara and shows us his goodies with more details at kare no burogu. I remember the first few times I went to Akihabara - spend most of my money in one visit! Back in those days, there wasn't really any more stuff (over 15 years ago) and I spent most... | | |

| 1:40am | Yuri on the Chalkboard Week 15 | | | | I ended up talking about games with some friends last night for some reason or another and at one point we started discussing Xbox 360 and iDOLM@STER so today I decided to draw some idol yuri. This week I did a double drawing since I couldn’t pick which picture I liked best. For a better look... | | |

| 4:19pm | “Dream Club” Hostess Seduction Game for Xbox 360 |  | | | Bandai-Namco, along with publisher D3, are looking to release a new hostess dating simulation game for the Xbox 360 next summer. Strangely, some of the characters bear more than a passing resemblance to the idols of Idolmaster. The game, entitled “Dream Club”, consists of the player interacting... | | |
| 12:44am | Lyrics |  | | | IIRC SDB wondered once in comments what Japanese do to make lyrics to fit the rhythm (can’t find the post now, sorry). The answer is, same as Americans do: they cheat. Especially for plain (informal) language, speakers can drop particles a lot or keep them, if it helps singing. Here’s an... | | |
| 10:31pm | Random Wafflage: Go My Way Edition | | | | Man, I soooo can’t draw. Particularly in Photoshop. I totally need to get around to getting another Sai license (which, coincidently, is why I’m still behind on Linebarrels). Anyway, iDOLM@STER is out for the PSP today. Or tomorrow. Well, I’m sure it’s out somewhere by now.... | | |
