The Minami-ke Okaeri OP and ED songs, Keikenchi Soku Joujou and Zettai Karafuru Sengen debuted today, placing 8# and 10# respectively on the Oricon Daily Music charts.
The appearance of anison (anime songs) on the music charts is not that uncommon, but as both singles are sung by the Minami trio’s seiyuu and previously only heard on the three episodes broadcast so far, it follows that the CD’s popularity is made up nearly entirely by fans of the show.
You can hear both songs below:
The long awaited Haruhi dance game for the Wii, 涼宮ハルヒの激動 / Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou, is finally with us, and the fan response is positive.
Since this is a dancing game, you will doubtless be wanting to see some videos of the game in action:
Volume 6 of loli manga Kodomo no Jikan has attracted much attention for its brazen loli manga content; loli fundoshi, mock fellatio, onanism, porn site browsing, the list goes on. Still, this is not an ero-manga, so it is all surely in the best possible taste?
You can see the extent of this good taste below:
Displaying a shrewd insight into the habits of the eroge player, huge game specialty retailer AsoBit Game City is stocking its “adult” floor with the infamous Tenga Flip Hole onahole (artificial vagina).
Some of you might also remember Tora no Ana’s ero-manga lotion promotion early last December, another insightful marketing approach quite similar to this…
The flagship store of otaku goods retailer Gamers is currently displaying the upcoming Card Captor Sakura BD release side by side with the older DVD master.
Not a huge amount of detail can be seen by these smaller resolution photos of a store display (shown below), but fellow fans of the well regarded shoujo classic should find the coming release of the BD version to be happy news.
An idol’ s youthful appearance is her only asset in most contexts; thus this comparison of idols then, with idols now provides a rather stark example of their limited shelf life…
Rather than merely removing persistent tendrils of steam, a Photoshop adept has opted to challenge himself by attacking the bikinis of the To Love-Ru cast, with predictably breezy results.
We also see similar efforts directed towards unwrapping the key girls in a separate image, also visible below…
IdolMaster seiyuu Takahashi Chiaki (Azusa) and Imai Asami (Chihaya), are auctioning off autographed copies of the second IdolMaster game, IdolM@ster Live For You, for charity.
As of writing the price of the signed copies has exceeded the ¥110,000 mark, with less then a hundred bids and is continuing to climb, with 8 hours remaining. The game costs ¥7,000 new.
Japanese fashion makes ample use of the mini-skirt, and even with normal skirts hemlines seem to be high; combine this with Japan’s population of ninja photographers, ready at any moment to take some low-angle upskirt shots from close in, or to use powerful lenses to observe matters from afar, and you have a disaster for female modesty and a triumph for panchira maniacs the world over.
In this gallery, we are presented with an ample selection of short skirts of all varieties, often coupled with knee socks…
Elite Nitroplus eroge Sumaga, or “Star Mine Girl”, is due for an expansion, or “special version”, and with some spread into the realm of manga perhaps threatens to become a full multi-medium franchise.
Behold the mysterious shrinking and chibification of Suzumiya Haruhi, and others, in a fashion which will doubtless remind you of a certain Shana-tan:
Musical anime White Album has a long history, starting off as an adult game by Aquaplus, and being adapted into a manga, an anime and a PS3 visual novel.
