iDOLM@STER 2!!

[Aya Kyunik]

Well, I'm not a great translator, but I can try my hand at this too. From page 4 of the article (pages 1-3 translated previously by Pizzaman).

A message from Hase Yurina to Yukiho and her producers
*SNIP*

The more I hear from the two VAs, the more reassured I am. I'm really really looking forward to hearing Asakura's Yukiho more than ever!

>IM@S with kinect
I wonder whats gonna happen guise

The idea both scares and delights me...

Unfortunately, I don't have the Japanese comprehension skills necessary to pour out a bunch of money for this... yet...

Neither do I...yet iM@S is still a black hole to my funds =/

Lots of comments on Japanese blogs about Chihaya. A lot of gamers have mixed feelings about how Chihaya now has a "bounce" when she's dancing...some are happy, but others say that Chihaya with a chest isn't Chihaya.

Will this be the end of "くっ!" and the magic number 72?

[Cien Laguoire]

I certainly hope it is.
I've been plagued with seeing the number 72 everywhere since I jumped on this small bandwagon. I hope Chihaya's "growth" ends this ongoing trend.

? I don't get it...

almost all US-region locked games have also asian-locked adaptations.
Japanese xbox can read almost all asian region locked games so if your look at it.
JXBOX360 has the most games you can play with.
I think the most trashy one is the Europe-locked version because there are only a few games released in that region.

Today, iDOLM@STER 2 PV was announced in my home country (in Akibatan.com). But it seems that the major interest shows that they believe Kentaro Miura sensei, who draw BERSERK, will once again stop drawing his manga and start enjoying iDOLM@STER 2...(same as what happened before when the first iM@S was released)...

So the major reaction become like everyone (over here) begin to protest the iDOLM@STER 2, because they want their manga (BERSERK) to continue. All the comments (except mine) blame that this is the disaster and iM@S's fault that they will no longer able to read BERSERK...

Berserk sucks anyways. And cien, you should have known that was aya.

Yup.

Some games like Alpha Protocol (which turned out crap apparently, but I was anticipating it for a year) only get NA and Europe releases, but most other games get Asia-region releases, which can be played on a Japanese Xbox.

Eh? What do you mean? I didn't see the resemblance until after Taco showed me. :<

No, not vampire. Crow tengu.

Although Alpha Protocol only get NA and Europe releases, it is region free and you could play it on a Japanese xbox. I only own a Japanese xbox, and I have always been purchasing the Asian version of the games if possible, since they are cheaper most of the times. I like the fact that both US and Japanese xb live accounts are accessible through changing console locations and language settings, so that I could get exclusive downloads from both sides.
