you're cool, i hope you're having a good night of sleep. tell me, what articles are you most proud of? I feel a bit embarrassed I've read so little of your game reviews, and I think it'd also be a nice way to point some of your work to your other followers

unfortunately, i woke up after only five hours, but hopefully i'll be able to get back to sleep soon~

fox junction was a game i'd discovered years before writing about it, just through th time-honoured method of playing games with interesting titles. when i did finally post about it, it felt like i'd collaborated with many people on forums and elsewhere, trying to figure out this unique and cool game.

platine dispositif's unnamable shooting game was the first time i'd written about a doujin game that i'd bought a physical copy of, plus it's a post that got a bunch of attention on reddit and elsewhere because it was the only place to read about such an odd game

school fighter was a cool one, it came about because i posted something like "this game looks like it might be cool, but it doesn't run in any emulator", and takashi oomoto and taizou hori teamed up to break the copy protection on it! (that's how i remember it happening anyway). unfortunately, i no longer have any clue as to where you'd get ahold of a cracked copy of thte rom

i'd also like to mention generally the posts i've made about simple series games and games for the sharp x68000, since the lack of english coverage of those things was one of the big motivators for starting the blog all those years ago

A Mr. Driller commission for NotAnselAdams on dA. To celebrate Mr. Driller DrillLand coming to the US for the first time, he wanted me to illustrate my interpretation of Young Taizo again. You can see the previous commission here.

Man it's a long while since I play Mr. Driller series. This is Mr.Driller Drill Land on the Nintendo Switch. Originally this game came on Nintendo GameCube in Japan back in 2002.

For my whole life wowaka will be necessary to me, and it's fine this way. It doesn't contradict with my means to move my everyday forward. For the people who can join us tomorrow, I’ll see you again tomorrow. If not tomorrow for you then, let’s meet again elsewhere.

.... Also slight show report from one of Wasurennee yo! lives, thank you @tanak_sally! 

But first a bit of background on Wasurenneeyo. From Shibata's website profile page:

Formed in 2008, a rock band full of fun and lively middle-agers! In April of 2017, we alone sold out Hibiya’s Outdoor Concert Hall for our first time. In May of 2018 we opened up a show celebrating the graduation of bassist Umetsu, and sold out Zepp Tokyo within minutes. With this live as our farewell, Umetsu withdrew from the band. I’m lonely. But God bring Umetsu-kun happiness. In July of 2018, our first concert after Umetsu’s Withdrawl called ‘I heard I could get popular if I became Youtuber’, sold out Shibuya Club Quattro within minutes. I’m not lonely anymore! I’m feeling fun and lively! Here marks my new beginnings as a refreshened 36 year old. For the sake of this post I'll also include that they're a band which ygarshy does support work for, they're good!!! ygarshy's suit form can even be witnessed in their most recent MV - ...they're good.

1: Overall, Shibata, the leader and only consistent member, is an honest man who shows like for the things he likes, nonstop HE CANT BE STOPPED

2: ygarshy belched his heart into singing a chorus part, as in yg sang backup for the chorus part of the Wasurerannee yo’s song ‘Kono Machi ni wa Kimi ga Inai’… lyrics are: “You’re not here in this city, You’re not here, That’s all there is to this.” 3. More than only performance wise, ygarsh broke cracks in his cold persona bc he was so peppy, he smiled and brazenly approached front stage countless times When Shibata would tell his compelling tales during MC talk, he would be hiding in the back giggling and giggling away,

4: yg’s set position is side stage but, recently he’s been leaning towards center stage! Shibata and him will share moments of harmonized fanfare up on front stage… yg sticking close, having a blast, cute of cute, HAPPY

I send my regards to everyone for celebrating my birthday.I’ve also been (taking the liberty of) reading everyone’s impressions on 6/1’s events. Emotions are all over the place. Everyone, I don’t care what it is, if you need to blurt it out then do it at me. I want to understand how everyone feels. No matter who feels what, no one has the right to reject you after all

Dear everyone, truly thank you for today. See ya.

From after the 6/1/2019 memorial show.

Ahh it's already happening tomorrow,,,,

From before.

The sunset sky is such a red The day is setting itself away So that's why these nonflying wings If I threw them away  Since I threw them away I will walk on the air So that's why these nonflying wings If I threw them away  Since I threw them away I will walk on the air

   The news of Yama-chan and Aoi Yuu’s marriage is such a shock, that I recalled the lyrics from “ All About Lily Chou-Chou”. Aoi Yuu's first film appearance, during the scene in which Tsuda Shiori, the character she played, departs from the film, the song "Nonflying Wings” plays so I posted the lyrics of that final chorus. Excuse me for the disturbance.

Recently I’ve been listening to nothing besides ‘future funk (the genre)’ and early era ‘bloodthirsty butchers’. 'zerwee' is pretty good too, it feels like they reached the pinnacle of cheapness.

omg this train is going the wrong way

I want a GIF of when VOCABULA Tengoku era Neptune (A comedy unit), Harada Taizou(member of Neptune) beatin' up Horiken(other member) with backhand strikes.

SND seems to be fond of the comedy group Neptune bc he references them periodically. VOCABULA Tengoku is a comedy show where competitors make abridged parodies of song-movie-vocabulary mashups. For example this skit where they've made the lyric “Everybody dance now” into “Ebi bakka dasu na(Don’t only serve shrimp)”- as they edit a movie clip to show a restaurant doing just that-

Yumao

Everybody I’m counting on you today.

From the morning of the 6/1/2019 Memorial day...

Everybody like seriously thank you!

From the evening!

Soraru’s new album 'Wonder' I contributed a lot to the recording of this album. I played these rad drums. In layman’s terms, it’s the best.

— Soraru's comment @ Yumao:"Miraculously all the songs this time were recorded with real live drums (Including the singles which weren’t prior), I had Yumao do most of the playing and now the songs have a really good ring to them. Thanks Yumao, I leave the rest to you”

I helped with the recording of Soraru’s new song ‘I Fake Me! I also appear in the MV. Take a look!L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GI4zBX4JMI

Yumao has been joining Soraru for his live shows all year, and has been a staple in most of his songs for since. I also translated one of the whole crew's activities at a board cafe just because Yumao was super cute: https://www.evernote.com/l/Aomb-T5N80FPNo_mIzu0V_2ZnLvr8tjSPXA

Excuse me for intruding.

I played the drums for Suntory Nomu’s ‘Life is tasty!’. You have to give it a listen while drinking a Suntory Craft Boss beer. 

With Jin as the producer, as Yumao's efforts are a staple for Jin's works, the beverage company 'Suntory' put together a song called “Life is tasty!” for their official V-tuber character, which is representing their own Craft Boss beer. 

 Following 'I wish March would go on forever’, I also participated in the recording of ‘Pastel Rain’.

Sangatsu no Phantasia's new album 'Girl's Blue, Happy Sad' tracks 1 and 4 both have music and lyrics by Horie Shouta, with Yumao on drums.

*Replying to Sangatsu no Phantasia’s tweet about her borrowing Yumao’s drums for a rehearsal*I’ll be playing these at Sangatsu no Phantasia’s one-man live show! The merch is cute. 

This June 9th, he'll be joining the vocalist, Mia, and other musicians whose names are yet to be revealed, for exactly that! Also the merch in question.
