I've been playing a lot of No Man's Sky in the past week. For a game with a bajillionzillion planets it gets repetitive way sooner than it should, but it's still interesting enough to hop around learning alien languages, naming planets silly things, and finding new upgrades for myself or my ship tha...

If you ignore the infrequency, it's easier to get by with only albums now since there aren't B-sides found only on the singles--and different ones on different editions. Buy ℃maj9 and you get every song from every ℃-ute single from a span of two years, and then some. Buy ⑧ Queen of J-POP and you'd b...

After confirming the Juice=Juice delay the next thing I did was recheck this single's page to see if it had been adjusted to September, but no go (so far). I do wonder why they wouldn't release it in September--if they've got it finished and can sell some copies at the Buono! concert this month, it'...

Random fact I ran across recently. Old H!P arranger Watanabe Cher (Koi wo Shichaimashita!, LOVE Namida Iro) is also known as WATA-BOO as keyboardist for DANCE☆MAN & THE BANDMAN. Not sure if he still does that; haven't seen any of the detailed credits for recent DANCE☆MAN songs.

Wow, so this makes another almost 3 month gap in H!P releases. Kobushi's was July 27, and Tsubaki's latest DVD indie August 6.

That's not the way to get into Datsumo Musume, Kago!

"ソラシド". At first I took this more straightforward, Sorashido (without knowing what that should mean). Now that I see it written this way I can see the So La Ti Do thing, except wouldn't Ti　use チ instead of シ? EDIT: Doing a bit of searching I find ソラシド used for Sorashido, Sora Seed, Solasee...

Just watched Shirome, the horror movie starring Momoiro Clover. Immediately after I wrote a review on Amazon (where I streamed it). It follows: I've really liked some of the director's other movies (Noroi, Occult) and enjoy some idol pop through I don't specifically follow Momoiro Clover, so I figur...

Among UUG's recent videos are also a bunch of 360° videos, though they're not music videos.

I think I've lost track of where the Layton series is trying to go. After the two trilogies there was that Layton Brothers mobile game. Then Level 5 announced a "Layton 7" which sounded very different and I'm not sure has went anywhere? Then this.

He's worse than dead, his brain is gone! Haha, I pulled off almost the reverse trick a few months back. Rewatching TNG on Blu-ray, I would rarely run across an episode I hadn't seen before. As it turned out the very last two I saw that were new to me are considered some of the worst in the series: S...

I hadn't even paid attention to the mention of 2004 from the first image. So yeah, even 6 years ago they were using a 6 year old newspaper--or maybe just stock "newspaper footage" sitting in their archives.

So I was watching the S/mileage ○○ Ganbaranakutemo Eenende!! MV today, and the quick flashes of newspaper on screen caught my attention. I know the covers (and backs and insides) of various editions have some fakey newspaper stories like "Found a beautiful smile!" or "Mustache girls o...

As new H!P members go I thought 2nd gen was integrated quickly with their first single/video/concerts being within a month of introduction, but they seem to be throwing Kasahara right into action.

Saw the new Ghostbusters last night, really enjoyed it. Not that it skimped on the jokes, but it also had a lot more intricate action scenes than the old movies. Maybe the last time I left the theater that jazzed was Pacific Rim? Having not seen a Paul Feig movie before I went in without much in the...

Did she do a performance with ANGERME today? I've seen an image of her in what looks like an outfit matching what the other members are wearing, and if it's just a simple introduction I've become used to them just bringing out the newbie in a plain dress. <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" ...

The emptiness of Pokémon Go in a rural area reminds me why I got so into homebody activities like video games and computers in the first place.

I'm not sure if Nagoya specifically, but FWIW Makino Marina is the lone member of MM'16 at least from the same prefecture (Aichi).

Real--unless forged, I guess.

Jet Set Radio originating on Dreamcast, I'd think its standard controller play should map to the Steam controller well. The only thing the DC controller had that Steam Controller doesn't is a regular physical d-pad, but I don't recall that getting heavy use anyway. In non-PC, I started up Tokyo Mira...

300 bags? Jesus, she's not trying to feed all of Idol School, is she?

My Steam Controller arrived. It certainly is an interesting design, and there are a huge amount of customization options, so I've really barely scratched the surface it feels. I'll say that it didn't take long to discover some things that either I didn't know about the controller, or had forgotten a...

I can see one's off time being kept private fairly well, but how does one go through an entire pregnancy without word getting around? Maybe she could give lessons to those people who get into trouble for being caught standing within 10 feet of a male friend.
