iDOLM@STER 2!!

[Clear Blue]

No thanks. I forget these sort of things if I only see them once and not think of them again.

......

......Aw, dammit! Why am I thinking of them now!?!?!? XDD

Meh. In my defense, it's not funny or amusing if I see girls with guy voice. And when I mean guy voice, I mean deep, totally distinguishable, actually-voiced-by-male-seiyuus voice. D:

Make that to go with Jupiter instead and it will look more natural. And more tolerable. D:

Well...Do you still want your brain bleach?

Unless, that guy is really into muscular ladies. Then, I think he's weird.

Not Jupiter! Anything but Jupiter! D: (I just saw a Nico vid with Linkin Park in the background and it was horrible! DX)

About the Sonic Dude... I'm familiar with him (if it is a him... I kinda hope it is, since, if they're a girl, they are a horrible example of a girl). XD I actually saw him posting videos on youtube saying that the girls' "new image songs" should be from Sonic games, and (pretty much a direct quote) "The 7th PV should have Iori singing her new image song, His World from Sonic"... I pretty much declared him mentally insane then. I find it actually very hilarious that somebody actually made those videos...  Hopefully that'll get him/her to shut up, though, LOL.

I got that same message from TheWolfBunny2 guy...whoever he is.

More price drops, why do I even preorder games?

Man, just think about it this way. You pay a little extra to play it as soon as you actually -want- to play it.

If you're willing to hold off on playing until the price drops, then...really XD Don't preorder stuff. Price drops are inevitable, and they're going to happen eventually (unless it's like...a Mario or Zelda game or something)

Question: Can I still pay for the game in USD, even though it asks for it in yen?

I want to know from someone in the US what's a good place to buy IM@S 2...

... Still, from $120 USD to $50 USD in the space of a month is pretty... I dunno...

And I think you can pay for things with a credit card, it'll convert to yen as you buy it, I think. You may be charged a 5% fee or something for making a purchase that requires a conversion, though.

I've heard nasty things about credit cards and paypal fees, so I'm taking a lot of consideration before I buy anything internationally. I'll be able to play THE IDOLM@STER 2 in approximately 2-3 years, granted I can get a good JPN Xbox 360...

Yeah, but no one's tying you down and forcing you to buy it as soon as it comes out, either XD

I don't think Paypal fees are too bad. I buy through paypal when I'm purchasing in different currencies (though I often try to avoid that since the USD/JPY conversion rate is pretty bad). To be entirely honest I don't remember there being a fee...but if there was, I'm pretty sure it was almost nothing.

Just sayin', that's a pretty huge price drop in a very short time. I wonder what happened...

For what it's worth, when I purchased from AmiAmi, Paypal sent money in terms of JPY, whereas I paid in USD. When I work out the conversion at the time, my payment in USD was exactly correct to Paypal's own JPY conversion. However, note that I paid Paypal in USD, Paypal converted my payment to JPY, then Paypal sent the funds to AmiAmi, so this hinges on Paypal's conversion rate. I have no way of checking this reliably, though.

The internets give me a different (better) exchange rate from USD to JPY the day I made the purchase, but again, this is the internets. This would make the Paypal fee around 2.67% if it is to be believed. Honestly, a small hit like this is to be expected - everyone makes a bit of money on conversion. You won't break even at an airport buying some foreign currency then immediately selling it back to them - you'll come out with net loss.

Really, the only way to tell if there's fees for conversion for a credit card is to... look at the contract. You could also call them up and ask, though you might have to ask the right questions (as in, more than one) to get the entire answer (as opposed to some of it).

あぁ～んセクシー♥

No clue where to put this, but somebody might like it?  I admit I laughed a lot when I first watched it... and then the second time... and then the third...

So did I, so did I.

Love the things that people on Nico make XD

How did I manage to mistranslate it as prism when I had the lyrics right there and reread them a lot of times. Stupid Maka. >_.

Basically a official non-leaked pv of catalog 2 will be here on the 28th. I'm really convinced Honey Heartbeat is real. Hey, we'll find out in as little as 2 days or less.

Apparently the costume in the leaked videos is called Street Hopper. Not sure how true this is.

Along that note, I recently pulled up my credit card statement and I got charged $1.22 for "FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEE(Other)".  So that should give you an idea of the cost.

Honey Heartbeat is certainly real, there's no way a fan could fabricate that much in that quality XD I'm hoping it's this next catalog, but it's hard to tell with leaked content (didn't the KOSMOS, COSMOS and 隣に... catalog for L4U get leaked 2 or 3 catalogs before it actually came out?)

 So, on another note: When do you guys think we'll get some of the songs we're missing?

I mean, of the MA songs we still don't have: Furu Furu Future, I Want, Ippai Ippai, Futari no Kioku, Tonari Ni..., and Starto Star. There may even be more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head...

We also don't have any of the SP songs: Colorful Days (Which would make an awesome Quintet song...), Overmaster, LOBM, Mata Ne, Kimi Wa Melody.

Plus there are none of the arcade songs, nor do we have all of the ones added to the 360 game: Watashi wa Idol, Omoide o Arigatou, or Massugu(which I think should have been added as Takane's personal song rather than My Best Friend, but oh well...)

 Does anyone think we'll be getting any of these songs? If so, any guesses when?

I think we will get more songs, but I can't guess which ones...

When will be for a LOOOOOOONG time, remember the tsunami? That stalled majority of Japan's infrastructure, let alone destroyed a good number of it, in more ways than one.
