Addiction Hits Again: Phantasy Star Zero

Wednesday Citrus and I received the most dangerous thing for us to get during University finals time. What I mean is Phantasy Star Zero. As big fans of Phantasy Star Online we knew that getting its successor in every way possible would result in our “Game Over.” I had planned to refrain from playing until …

Today the demo for Platinum Games’ action title Bayonetta was released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace.

[Lyrics] Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 5 Theme Song – Occultics no Majo [Ayumu]

I hope everyone in the US enjoyed this Thanksgiving. Aside from relaxing I decided to translate Umineko’s new theme song today. This one was interesting to work on but I think it turned out well. Right after the translation I added a bunch of translation notes since I noticed a bunch of stuff while working. …

Falling in Love with Touhou Videos Again

Not feeling like doing much in the day preceding my Thanksgiving holiday I spent a good chunk of time watching Touhou videos yesterday. I haven’t really watched any in quite a while so it reminded me why I love them so much. Below are some of the ones I watched in no particular order.

Beating Tales of Vesperia

Since the beginning of the semester several friends and I have been playing our way through the Xbox 360 game Tales of Vesperia.

[Lyrics] iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Image Song Dazzling World (M@STER VERSION) [Akizuki Ryo]

Even though Eri is my favorite idol from Dearly Stars, Ryo’s image song Dazzling World is probably my favorite new song. As the name suggests the song is about an eternal love that illuminates the entire world. I really like the lyrics and the flow of the song and just pretty much everything. Also Ryo …

[Lyrics] iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Image Song Precog (M@STER VERSION) [Mizutani Eri]

Since Eri is still currently my favorite iM@S DS idol I felt obligated to translate this song. It’s a nice song about opening up and starting all over again just like how Eri did. I’m planning to work on the other new iM@S songs sometime as well. For now I hope you enjoy Precog (PURIKOGU):
