Well, it was for helping spread the word of new programs which could bring more anime to the West, which I'm all for. I'm hoping I can entice a few new people to get into anime properly and enjoy the best of both worlds of dubbed and subbed shows. But hey, guess the blog was high enough on the search lists that they found us.
Yeah, I do treasure the fact we've got something; be born a few years later than we had, and a job would be a nightmare.
Hush now, the idols are lonely. I think the best way to go for these games is to pick the one that has the most songs, since all of the idols are likable in some way and are mixed together. It'll extend the lifespan of the game for sure.
P.S. Did you check out the post I recently made on the iM@S thread? I'm sure you might be pressed for money, but a friend of mine in Japan who I've dealt with before has access to a pile of the merch for Shiny Festa and is offering to order for anyone while it's in the preorder phase (mid November). I'm saying "screw it" and getting that tapestry and a Shiny Festa shirt (those seriously look badass!).
