[Kami-sama wa asa ni mezameru] by Shime Saba

iFrame Link

This song should be known as [God is awake at Dawn], if my moonie-translation aren’t too far off >_>;

The song didn’t start out as anything I would add into my list, until it reached the “Shine on” part, which actually sounded more like “China on” or “Chai on”. It is one of the best english-speaking Miku that I have heard so far, and it really caught my interest near the end. I don’t know much about this Shime Saba person, since this is his first work in my list, which I hope won’t be the only one.

On a side note, Shime Saba means pickled mackerel in Japanese. Did you know that mackerels are best marinated with honey and fruit vinegar?

Saki Portable Opening Video Released!

If you’re a fan of the popular bishoujo mahjong series, you might be interested in the opening video of the upcoming Saki game for the PSP, simply called Saki Portable.

From the looks of the game, it’s more or less a cross-over between a visual novel and some mahjong element in it. Obviously, mahjong will take up a good majority of the game as Saki does revolve around the idea of mahjong, but one can’t help but to think how the whole visual novel part will be played out like. And I’m pretty sure that there are a fair amount of people wanting to have some ero elements in the game! You can check out the opening video of the portable game here.

All the core characters of the anime series will also be making a return in the game itself. Loaded with both mahjong and visual novel elements, this is one game Saki fans should not miss! If you’re interested in how the game would look like, you might want to drop by this Famitsu post to check out several screenshots.

Saki Portable will be released in Japan this 25th of March, along with several other goodies, such as several figurines, as well as a 160 pages artbook!

How Did Final Fantasy 13 Exactly Go To The Xbox 360?

Not really the packaging, but 13 DVDs? C’mon!

As many would have known by now, the Xbox 360 has already received the used-to-be-PS3-exclusive Final Fantasy 13. That little decision Square Enix made had sparked a whole wave of rage from the PS3 owners, but that’s the thing of the past now.

But the question still remains, how exactly did the Xbox 360 get Final Fantasy 13? Wasn’t Playstation series supposed to be the only one that is traditionally supposed to receive the core Final Fantasy games?
