Get Cozy With the New Loungewear DLC Costumes

July 10, 2020 2:02 PM EST

Sakura Wars, the newest entry in Sega’s iconic franchise, available now on PS4, gets new relaxing DLC costumes for all the new Flower Division members.

Sakura Wars got a new DLC costume update, one that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, along with a touch a comedy. Reflecting the game itself. This new DLC will bring loungewear costumes for Captain Kamiyama, Sakura Amamiya, Hatsuho Shinonome, Anastasia Palma, Azami Mochizuki, and Claris.

These costumes are sure to up the anime romantic comedy feel of the game, all while displaying each character’s tastes and personality. Some might say it’s best to wait until a second run to activate these kind of goofy DLC stuff, but goofiness is also part of the Sakura Wars franchise so why not run with it.

Screenshots of these Sakura Wars DLC costumes are included below. As a reminder, these costumes aren’t technically brand new as they were first added to the Japanese version of the game, before now reaching the western one.

Be sure to check out our interview with the Sakura Wars team, where we chatted how to make a reboot and sequel to such a legendary series, the localization, possible ports, and much more.

I’d also personally recommend reading the joyful Twitter thread Sega has been publishing this past week, reflecting on the past of the series:

All this week, we’re looking back at the mainline history of #SakuraWars!

It all began with Sakura Wars. Released for the Saturn in 1996, it blew away all expectations to become an influential classic still revered in Japan to this day! pic.twitter.com/6cffRpuTcV

OVERVIEW: Kyojitsu-Hiniku: Between the Skin and the Flesh of Japan is a contemporary art project consisting of a group showcase and several related public events. This project is held at the Pavilhão Japonês in the Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, Brazil, as part of the 110 Years of Japanese Immigration in Brazil events organised by Brazilian Society of Japanese Culture and Social Services (BUNKYO). The exhibition period coincides with the beginning of the 33rd São Paulo Biennial, the world’s second most historical art biennial after the Venice Biennial, which is also held within the Ibirapuera Park. Curated by Naoko Mabon, Japanese curator based in Scotland. For the exhibition, five artists are invited to exhibit and/or create works to realise a site-specific showcase responding directly to the iconic Sukiya style building (*1) of Sutemi Horiguchi (1895-1984), which has symbolised the friendship between São Paulo City and the Japanese community. All works are, in a poetic/physical/conceptual sense and manner, dealing with either: national/social/personal identity of Japan; immigration; or elements that reflect immigrants’ memory or experiences. A set of related events are planned. Events include: an event by Satoshi Hashimoto; artist talks by Takanori Suga and Juliana Kase; dance performance by Danilo Silveira; dance and sound performance by Beatriz Sano and They-Group; and Sound-visual performance by Rodrigo Amor Experimental and Evandro Nicolau. The project title ‘Kyojitsu-Hiniku’ is informed by an art theory of Monzaemon Chikamatsu (1653-1725) in his first essay on the art of the Joruri, Japanese traditional narrative music with Shamisen lute. “Art is something that lies between the skin and the flesh [hiniku], between the make-believe [uso] and the real [jitsu] (…) because art ‘lies between’ the two, it is both and neither: ‘Art is make-believe and not make-believe; it is real and not real.’” (*2) This theory helps us to re-read the complex history and cultural/social/political structure of immigration in today’s context, and to reflect on how the new identity called ‘Nipo-Brazilian’ has developed since Kasato-maru’s first arrival in 1908 and how we can understand it. The narrowness of the slim margin between the skin and the flesh perhaps illustrates the ambiguity and volatility of one’s identity in relation to the cultural process of migration. This contemporary art project will present many different interpretations and understandings towards the history and complexity of Japanese immigration to Brazil. We hope that the project will be a timely opportunity to reflect on Japanese immigration to Brazil in a much more wide-ranging sense, and to open up broader discussions beyond background, languages, and cultures.

Kyoji Horiguchi has become a target in the RIZIN Bantamweight Grand Prix

By Edward Carbajal

9/1/2017

One of the top flyweights that left the UFC back in February of this year, Kyoji Horiguchi is in the RIZIN 2017 Bantamweight Grand Prix. He won his opening round match in July with a first round knockout over Hideo Tokoro and seems to have caught the attention of some other notable Japanese mixed martial artists.

During a press conference held in Tokyo RIZIN General Manager Nobuhiko Takada announced that Tatsuya Kawajiri will be facing an undefeated prospect from Brazil, Gabriel Oliveira (9-0) in their October, 15 event. The winner of the bout will be the “wild card” in the bantamweight tournament on December 29. This will be the first time the 39-year-old fighter will be fighting at the bantamweight class.

"The only reason why I am doing this, is because I want Horiguchi. If he wasn’t in this tournament, I would never go through all of this pain to just make weight. I want to put everything I have, everything I have worked for, in this tournament to fight the icon of Japan’s young, promising generation. I made it down to 63kg (138lb) in July for a test, and I have been able to keep my weight around 68kg (150lb) and feel strong for the past 2 months. I will be ready to make weight and perform the same."  -- Tatsuya Kawajiri

Kawajiri wants to test himself, but there is another competitor in the tournament looking for redemption.

Shintaro Ishiwatari(22-6-4) is in the tournament as well and hopes to face Horiguchi in December. The 32-year-old faced Horiguchi in 2013 and fell to the former UFC vet in the final round of their five-round match via TKO. Ishiwatari says he has been following Horiguchi since the loss and has studied him to make himself a better fighter.

"I study off of his fights, to make myself a better fighter. Most fighters have a time period where you hit a wall and stop improving, a time where you struggle. But he just continues to evolve like simple math. His fight IQ is high, his overall skill levels are high, and there is a lot to learn from him."  -- Shintaro Ishiwatari

Takada was the man that founded Pride Fighting Championships and when the promotion fell, many MMA fans missed the match-ups and rivalries that were made in that promotion. Not all of it was trash talk, some of it was simply because the fighters wanted to face the very best there is or avenge a loss. It looks like RIZIN is starting to bring that back for their 2017 Grand Prix.
