Another ModCloth debacle: this giftwrap-bow ring wrought in silver is clever and darling, but could my alligator hands pull it off?
I was e-mailed the link to this Lunar fanart from mangaka Michirou Ueyama by a gracious individual and now pass it on to you.
The NCSX description of 99 no Namida: At the outset, the Namida software throws a few personality questions at the user and creates a sort of emotional profile from the answers. A short story then plays out on the screen which is designed to make the reader cry. This is why I wish Japanese DS games were less expensive; I'd love to be able to play around more with crazy titles like this.
NETA: Dang! It's on Amazon for only 580 yen! ...Buuuut shipping is 2700. Argh.
Perhaps the most thorough set of FFIV links out there, including a directory of Japanese fanart that's fun to peruse.
A collection of Japanese Ultima promo tchotchkes and Ultima-related books. From the cover blurb from the novel The Bride from Another Dimension, allegedly:
"Is there such unreasonable ULTIMA ?
Lord British will be get very angry
It'OK
Anyway American can not read it ! ha.. ha.. ha..!"
American Soda is a UK shop which specializes in importing U.S. foods. Their most popular in-stock items as of this writing include Mounds candy bars, cans of pumpkin pie filling, Cheerios, Necco Wafers (ehhh, but they're a distinctive regional candy, so OK), Boston Baked Beans (aren't the peanuts always rotten in those?)...Mike & Ike in lemonade flavors (someone just has overstock)...blue raspberry Tootsie Rolls...and Now and Laters?!?!?!? Someone is voluntarily paying actual money for those?!
Other oddly popular items from elsewhere on the site include Aunt Jemima pancake mix, saltines, Rice-a-Roni, Arm & Hammer baking soda, and Gatorade. It kills me that people are importing Gatorade, but I wonder if there are Japanese folks who load up J-List and think, "they're importing CalorieMate? Really???"
I don't care how the readers of Good Show Sir! voted; this is the greatest book cover of all time.
