Words cannot describe my excitement here! Ok I’m kidding, but I’m still super hyped for this game and, from the looks of the trailer, there’s plenty of new additions to look forward to! Duets with other Vocaloids, the use of the D-pad and possibly other buttons besides the face buttons and of course, a slew of new songs to enjoy. The visuals have also improved and there doesn’t seem to be any lag, which the first one suffers from on occasion.

The game’s out July 29th this year and will retail for ¥6090.

Panasonic's RP-HTX7, retro designs call for retro photos!

Due to the incredibly mysterious phenomena of earphones bricking, specifically the right ear piece, as of late – both my Sennheiser’s and back-up Sony in-ear buds decided to kick the bucket, or at least the right side did – I promptly went around looking for a pair of headphones this time around, instead of earphones which I usually use for outdoorsy purposes.

I was kinda torn between the new Sony MDR-570LP’s, which were pretty sweet looking with the brushed metal furnish and uber flat design, and the Panasonic RP-HTX7′s, which I eventually settled with because retro designs are incredibly hard to resist. Anyway, reviews were kinda mixed for the Sony headphones with some saying it has a great audio range for it’s $72 SGD price tag, while others thought it wasn’t that great. However, the Panasonic ones were only about 10 bucks more expensive and the shop had a 25% discount tagged to it, which helped expedite my decision. I would’ve gone for a pair of Sennheiser’s but the shop didn’t have the ones I was looking for.

Anyway, the RP-HTX7 are super comfortable and I’ve never experienced my music with such crisp clarity before, especially piano tracks. Lovely stuff.

Black Rock Shooter Nendoroid by Good Smile Company

Good Smile Company has released information on their latest Nendoroid and Figma figures and guess who’s the latest additions? The lovely lady from Black Rock Shooter.

I dunno, I’ve actually been saving up to get the Canaan PVC, also by GSC, but now I’m quite tempted to get these figures instead. I love the Figma and Nendo line of toys, well actually pretty much anything GSC produces, especially since they’re so much more affordable than the scaled counterparts. Either way, I think I’ve got some time to ponder about it before making a decision. These aren’t set to be released until July anyway, I just hope the preorders don’t close any time soon. Speaking of which, for those that are also interested, you can place your orders over at Otacute, Amiami and Hobby Search.
