So apparently there's going to be a Natsume Yuujinchou game...?
The first announcement didn't really say what kind of game - if it's console only, then I wouldn't be able to play it anyway, so it wasn't really on my radar.

But... apparently it's going to be available on Steam, which means I could play it on PC, yay!
But...... it's published by ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the office for the first time this year... And I was reminded just how much of a workout it is to make the journey ^^; I usually log my commute as a "cardio" exercise with my Garmin watch, because otherwise it logs it as nearly 4 hours of "high stress" in a day... And to be fair, walking 15 minutes to the station over hilly ( Read more... )

Last Sunday I left Beppu and headed for Himeshima, still in Oita prefecture. I decided to go there because it seems to be the main inspiration for the setting of the visual novel GINKA by Frontwing which I absolutely loved, both as a translator and as a fan ^o^ It hasn't been officially stated that it takes place on Himeshima in Oita prefecture ( ( Read more... )

I realized I haven't posted about anime in a while...! Probably because I'm only watching stuff at a glacial pace, managing maybe 2~3 episodes a week if I'm lucky to have that much time... But here's what I've been watching

Mahoutsukai no Yome - I'm not sure how I feel about the story turning into a typical (?) high school drama... I was initially ( Read more... )

On Sunday it was rainy, so mimi91chan and I decided to do a shopping day in Ikebukuro, since that's mostly indoors. I didn't expect to buy much myself, but it was fun hunting for all the stuff she was looking for :3

Last week I found out that DMM was doing free streams of all the Touken Ranbu concerts to date, one every evening! I only caught the tail end of SRS 2016 because I found out about it too late, but I ended up watching all the others, before also watching the SRS 2022 stream of the Fukui evening show yesterday, haha. (And then I watched the delay ( Read more... )

After failing all of my applications in 4? different lotteries (in each of which I applied at least 4 times...), I finally got one ticket for Shinkenranbusai! The only one where I applied for side seats specifically ^^; Come to think of it, my tickets for Kousui and Kokoro Oboe were side seats too, but they turned out to be pretty good seats, so I ( Read more... )

Next week is a long weekend, so I kinda wanna take a day trip somewhere to see some plum blossoms... The early cherry blossoms in Atami must've finished by now (I saw them in late January before) but I remember also seeing a plum orchard there which was just *starting* to bloom then, so it would be nice to see something like that when it's in full ( Read more... )

Some time last week I came across a tweet that mentioned old Tenipuri games, including the old dating sims that came out for Nintento DS... And even though I probably haven't thought about these in about... 10 years? I remembered that while I own these games, at the time I bought them my Japanese wasn't good enough to really follow the story and ( Read more... )

Another one of the games I translated at work was released last week! You can check it out on Steam here! It's a pretty standard romance game with no branching routes, featuring just one heroine, but the character is super sweet and the artwork is adorable, so it was really enjoyable to work on ( Read more... )
