For all the crazy stuff that I’ve been getting up to while in Japan (and will continue to get up to, what with Disneyland and Tokyo Game Show ahead), I have to admit that the Miku Expo and concert was the thing I was most looking forward to. With the…
Read MoreAt first, I actually wasn’t 100 per cent certain on Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX on the Nintendo 3DS. I kinda assumed that I would enjoy it, given that it’s Miku and all, but I prefer the aesthetics of the more “realistic” Miku. As adorable as the nendoroids that Project…
Read MoreIn my last Loot from Japan update, I showed off the massive boost I’ve done to my Miku figurine collection. For my second I’d like to show off more Miku loot. This time around, though, it’s all about the music. In Australia, if you were to walk into a CD…

Read MoreI’m writing this story because it’s another excuse to write about Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. I’m sure you won’t hold it against me. SEGA has released a couple of new, adorable, screenshots of the adorable upcoming Project Mirai DX. The nendoroid figures are so incredibly bright and happy that,…
Read MoreLet’s have a bit of fun with our list this week! Everyone knows that one of the things that we like most in our RPGs and JRPGs are the characters. After all, these are 40, 50, even 80 hour-long games, so if we’re not interested in the plight of the…
