I think they did actually order a full 13, though it remains to be seen if they'll actually air them all. But it's likely they would since they're not really losing anything by airing something they already have on a Friday night. It's doing well enough from an advertising standpoint. I just watched...

To me it looks like they divorced awfully quickly. It's not really the kind of thing you do overnight. Considering the overall culture of marriage in Japan, it wouldn't shock me if they had already been planning to get divorced for a while, and he just happened to start something with Kago before th...

Thanks for that! I really like them so far. Speaking of semi-traditional stuff, one of my favorite groups ever would have to be Rin'. They're three women who sing and play traditional instruments, but with modern arrangements and stuff, and just all around kind of amazing. My favorite of theirs, Sak...

One singer that I really love is Natsukawa Rimi. She's sort of an Okinawan folk singer, iunno. xD Her song, Nadasousou , became a HUGE hit several years ago (although it is a cover, hers is the most famous). It's a little quiet and um, restful, but her voice really makes it gorgeous. A lot of her mu...

What PQ said. Although I'm pretty sure I've seen them forget that Hawaii is in the U.S. before. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I hope she gets a VA role that doesn't require the idol voice. Then if they still make her sing, hopefully it won't be Kirari-style anymore. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

I fucking love this.

It's during prime concert and event season in Japan as well, which is of course where H!P actually makes their money, so they have to be getting paid pretty well to schedule a weekend to come to the U.S.

I think it's just for the hell of it. They got invited, it makes them look good to say they're big enough to tour in other countries, so they accepted.

She's the very first reason I'm into Japanese music in the first place. Sugoi!!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DI...

I guess I'm being a little harsh, the sex scenes aren't generally the focus of her stories, but they are uh... used pretty liberally.

[quote name='BeForJess' post='60460' date='Feb 19 2009, 09:39 PM']That's pretty much how I feel; if someone is already actively seeking rape-related materials for their sexual fantasies I think they're already off the deep end. It's not that I don't think it's horrible, I just don't see how this is ...

You can get it to run in realtime.

I hate you so much. I want that Love Edition MSI SO MUCH NOW.

Yeah, I feel really bad for all involved :<

Maki's song reminds me of Leah Dizon's music, not really in any compositional way, but in overall cheese factor.

Finished Trauma Center II. Not sure what I'm playing next. I pretty much have no time for games right now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

I like Umiyuki okay, but I was more excited just for his debut. Now THIS is a song I could listen to over and over. Oh my God, I love this so much.

Thanks for the Iron Chef stuff!

Ok, so, would any one of you want a personal Giggolo for all summer 09? I'm hot and latino, and I roll my r's really well. I can also impersonate the puss on boots, and say the "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." line. I'll do ANYTHING. You just have t...
