Kyaa~~ I cannot tell you how psyched I am that Hakuoki PSP is being released today in North America. I’ve been an avid fan for almost 1 1/2 year now and cannot get my hand on an actual copy. You now know where my time will be spent for the next several weekends. Thank you soo soo much, Aksys Games for doing an awesome job on the localization.
I had ordered via Amazon, they will be sending the shipping tomorrow. I have no complaints and willing to twirl my fingers in the mean time. It can also be purchased at GameStop, please do give the game a try, I’m sure that you wouldn’t regret. Hopefully the sales will be promising so another similar game will be released by them.
Oh btw, Mandrarke finally had a Hijikata Toshizo figure for a reasonable price. I was able to snatch it from them, have been eyeing for one for ages now. It’s being shipped as I am typing this! *little happy dance* You can view a few images of him here, isn’t he so smexy?! ❤❤
Just started playing Tales of Vesperia a few days ago and have become addicted to the game. This would be third installment added to my Tales series collection along side with Abyss and Symphonia. With its complex character, impressive story, fun battles and awesome soundtrack, I know that my next few weekends will be immersed into the fiction world of Terca Lumireis.
In additional to the wonderful gameplay, the opening theme is a beautiful one sang by Japanese singer-songwriter, Bonnie Pink. The composition is upbeat and energetic which harmonizes lovely with the singer’s smooth vocals. The lyrics are quite fitting to the adventure and the relationship between main characters, especially Yuri Lowell. There is also a Japanese counterpart which was written/translated afterwards, however, it is not as memorable or as strong as the original one.
Reaching up for no man’s land
To take a breath and take a chance
I walk a thousand nights to change the world
Where to go? When to stop?
Who to trust? What to say?
I found them all, just need someone to share
It’s now in the dusk every day to everyone
Ain’t so strong, I ain’t so strong to go on
Living in the past is not the way to live
I wish you could hear me say that I miss you
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you’re in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
Looking up into the sky, looking for the reason
Why I’m here, and why you can’t be here
Who’s to hate? Who’s to blame?
Who’s to hurt? Who’s to love?
Who decides? Why can’t we be the same?
Trying to believe walking down the lonesome road
Ain’t so far, I ain’t so far from you
Staying the way you are means solitude
I wish you were here and shook off my fear
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you’re in the dark
If I lose you somewhere, and I’m still hanging in there
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
What has been in the mix too long?
There’s the peace when you’re at war
Heads or tails, you and I
Light and dark, ups and downs
What is there in the middle? What’s there to divide us?
If you’re hurt, cry and say, “Can’t you see you’re my other half?”
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you’re in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
I was just catching up on my gaming news and OMG, I came across this. Kyaa~~~and with Japanese voiceovers, my day simply cannot get any better.
I just needed to flair since this is one of my favorite games, simply love the Shinsengumi/Hijikata Toshizo and the Edo period. Never in a million years I would have thought a US publisher would release Hakuoki here, they certainly made an awesome choice. THANK YOU SOO MUCH, Aksys Game!
