Happy New Year 2022! Video Game Roundup

2021 certainly had its challenges, but we made it to the new year! As always, there's cute images and messages from companies, so here are some of those as we welcome 2022! 🐯🎉

Shopping Haul June 2021: No Rejet No Life

Can you believe that after all these years, Rejet still has a hold on my heart and wallet? They really weren't kidding when they said No Rejet no Life LOL. 💸💸

Even though my last package was still sailing across the sea, I once again decided to purchase from DeJapan because I can never say no to great customer service and low proxy fees. 

Since I chose surface mail, it took about 3 months before it finally safely arrived! And now here I am making a post in December because... life haha.

Shopping Haul April/May 2021: Vita Games + Returning to my Roots

So in March, I decided to shop for merch and things on Ebay because I didn't have the strength to return to proxy shipping.

Well... I've changed my mind. 🤣 In addition to buying off Ebay, I'm now once again importing!

You may notice that it is no longer May... that's because I am but a poor soul who decided to choose Surface Mail for the bulk of my purchases LOL. 

The items that weren't bought off Ebay were bought through DeJapan, so if you're interested in my experience there'll be a review for that soon~

Onto the haul!

Rejet Archive Resumption of Drama CDs this July!

After approximately a six month hiatus with only a couple things posted in June, Rejet Archive will be resuming its uploading of older Rejet Drama CDs during this July! They even posted a schedule so you know which ikemen to be on the lookout for~

Yuugen Romantica Vol 2 Zakuro Review

Ah yes, a post I meant to do back in May 2020 but never did lmaoo

Yuugen Romantica (Yuroma) Vol. 2 - Zakuro

CV: Sakurai Takahiro

Illustrator: Kazari Tayu 

Release: May 27, 2015

Website:  

"Hey, have you heard about the Seven Wonders of Nanagiri High?" It's rumored that if you visit the science room at midnight, you might see blue onibi (will-o-wisp) floating around. Be careful not to wake the wrathful Okitsune-sama, lest he either possess you or burn you to a crisp. But what happens when you're dared to enter the classroom and end up encountering the fabled fox youkai...?

I just want to point out that I'm shocked Yuroma has 6 seasons!? I can't believe it got that popular during the time I took a break from otome. 

But anyway, now that Rejet has uploaded season 1 to Youtube, of course I'm going to watch! After all, I am a simple girl - I see Sakurai and I immediately give a listen. 😆 Seeing a light haired nekomimi (...kitsunemimi? lol) character voiced by Sakurai immediately gave me Mejojo flashbacks... thankfully this CD was nothing like that lmao. But maybe that was an intentional marketing visual www 

As always, summary (rambles) and final thoughts below the cut~

Valentine's Day 2021 Roundup

It's that time of year again! Today's a day to celebrate love, whether that means romantic, platonic, familial, self-love, or whatever meaning it represents for you. 🥰 Various companies of course have their own Valentine's message, some of which I've included here~

Happy New Year 2021! Video Game Roundup

2020 has sure been... rough. But hopefully a new year will bring new beginnings! In the meantime, here's various New Year's art released for the occasion as we strive for a kinder year~

「Rejet New Works Presentation 2020 TRY！」Announcements

Lip On My Prince Vol. 1 Seiya Review

Lip On My Prince Vol. 1 Seiya ~Intense Flame's Kiss~

CV: Namikawa Daisuke (浪川 大輔)

Artist: Yomi (読)

Release Date: April 23, 2014

Website:

Wow I remember when this series was first announced! Now that Rejet Archive has added LipOn to their channel, I decided this is the perfect time to give it a listen. I passed on listening to it back then because I was deep in classic Rejet hell and super into all their angsty and dark works lol... 😂

This cd features Seiya Kitano, a popular 2nd year "prince" at a neighboring school called Akanami High. He's a strawberry 🍓 addict and his totally transparent feelings about you make it obvious you guys are dating... right?

Below are thoughts & summaries, plus a bonus image gallery at the end!

April Fools' Roundup 2020

A little delayed in posting this but... Happy April Fools' Day! With all that's going on the world, it's probably better to indulge in something that'll bring us joy, no? Below are the wonderful artwork and/or events from this year.

Will add more if I find any. As always, click to enlarge images.

Ken ga Kimi Released on Steam [JP/CHI]

Teased a while back by Beijing Happy Entertainment Technology, Ken ga Kimi has released today on Steam! Currently there is a 5% discount on the game.

Unfortunately to fans who play only English games, this game is available in only Japanese or Chinese (simplified or traditional). While it may not be as "accessible" per se, there are some good things about this release.

1. Ken ga Kimi for PC isn't suuuper readily available for PC purchase. Otherwise there's KgK for vita, or a twin pack with both the original game & the fandisc. 
2. Rejet has been known to not be very localization friendly... So I'm actually a bit surprised there's a Chinese translation available now. This doesn't necessarily mean that Rejet is open to English translations, but it might be a good sign they'll willing to possibly expand.
• I noticed a lot of people are commenting for an English translation as well. While it never hurts to try, it's not guaranteed either
3. This Steam version is based off the Vita version, so it comes with the extra goodies

Ken ga Kimi is a game I've wanted to play for ages and I'm happy it's getting exposure again since it always seems to be so popular. 

Part of me wants to buy the PC version because playing on a bigger screen is always nice. Another part of me though wants to save and import the twin pack version from somewhere... 🤔🤷‍♀️

But who knows! I'll reach a decision eventually lol.

Regardless, give it a play if you can and always remember to support!

That's all for now! Tune in below for some of the many beautiful art from this series. 😊

Rejet Archive - A (Legal) Way to Listen to Rejet's Old Dramas

It's no secret that Rejet has been trying to crack down on piracy for a long time now, using various methods throughout the years.

However in these trying times of self-isolation, Rejet has begun uploading many of their old dramas! I just discovered this channel and I'm so glad I did.

So far there's classic Dialovers (of course), Seventh Heaven, Wasurenagusa, and Soubou Sangokushi, along with some sound collections.

There are some conditions to the content they upload:

• 3 or more years passing since the original release (seeing some of these original dates... wow do I feel old lol)
• No plans for the CD to be rereleased
• No bonus/tokuten dramas

For updates to their uploading schedule, sign up for channel alerts and/or follow their twitter here.

Besides Dialovers, I definitely recommend giving Seventh Heaven and Wasu a listen - and be prepared to cry too. It's also a convenient way to relive the feels from the first time I listened haha. I never got the chance to listen to Soubou, so I'm grateful that Rejet is uploading these.

Grab some tissues for all those tears and enjoy! It's time for classic Rejet baby ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Happy New Year 2020! Video Game Roundup

Welcome to the new decade! As customary, there are always special art released for the holidays. Not a ton of art unfortunately, but will update as I find more ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

Black Wolves Saga ~Last Hope~ Prologue English Translation

Prologue  |

ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ Heyo everyone~ The BWS series is one of my favorites, and since I didn’t see much of anything for the PSP game, I decided to post a translation that I’ve had sitting on my computer for ages. Feedback is always appreciated to let me know how many people would be interested in me continuing!

Prologue

[Note: The narration for this part is 3rd POV Omn.]

-Place: Sharlmessen Forest-

The rain is too fine to be called such. It's sifting down, making it appear more like a mist.

The mist covers the world, as if concealing the absurdities of the world.

???: … … … …

… … … ...Here?

Swooping down to the sleepless skyscrapers, a feast (gig) by the disoriented fallen angels takes place.

The ones you face now are fallen angels who've swept down to the skyscrapers.

“In a town where an Angel swept down to,” you (who has moved in) unexpectedly meets this “Angel” by chance.

Your curiosity about death leads to them gaining interest in encountering you. And thus, it's decided that you'll listen to their song... …

-Scene: Kitchen; Whisking sfx-

Yui: … ...Hmm, is this right? I don’t think the peaks are firm enough… … [T/N: click here for more info on whipping peaks]

(It seems sweet enough, but i'd like to whip it a bit more)

*Yui continues whisking*

Yui: … ...Haa. This is more work than I thought… …

*Azusa Enters*

Azusa: Yui-san, I found you… …

Yui: Oh, Azusa-kun. Weren’t you with the others?

-Flashback; Scene: Orphanage Room-

Azusa: … ...Can you drink water?

Kou: I’m not sure… …*cough*, *cough*!

Azusa: A-Are you alright… …? Your temperature’s getting higher… … And your forehead’s hot.

Kou: … …*cough*, *cough*... ...Ahh… ...I think so.

Azusa: Hey, should we tell the officials that you got sick?

Kou: … ...No, don’t. If we tell, I’ll get put in a special room I think.

But… … *cough* I don't want that.

Azusa: … … … …? Isn’t it better to be put in a special room?

Kou: I don’t think so… … *cough*

Azusa: … … … …?

(Why isn’t it better? He’d be able to recover if he went)

(He should go to receive treatment. Won't he be able to heal quicker rather than staying here in pain?)

-Scene: Bedroom-

Yui: … …It’s quiet.

Azusa: … …You’re right. Unlike last time, I don’t hear any wolves howling… …

Yui: (Well, that’s good)

(Though, that’s to be expected since our Tsukinami pursuers haven’t come yet… …)

(How long will this peace last… …?)

Azusa: … …Eve, you look pale.

Is it about the founders… …?

Yui: Yeah… …

(It’s not just Azusa-kun and his brothers here, but the Sakamakis as well)

(However, I don’t know if they can match the strength of the founders… …)

(Is it really safe… …? I don’t want anyone to get hurt… …)
