We *love* Pop'n'Music
Pop'n 10 and 11 arrived today, as did IIDX 8-10. I'll note that the IIDX is still in the wrap, but holy hell I just played Pop'n'Music for the last 3 hours, pretty much from the minute I got home from volleyball. There's SO MUCH SANA! I mean, there's some Sana I don't have on CDs, like Space Dog and Half Moon Beach and Everyday Lovelyday, but then there's even stuff I have on CDs and didn't know had actually been put in the game. Like "Custom Made Girl", and her rendition of Moonlight Densetsu... and of course her singing Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa, the theme from Maison Ikkoku. So damn cool. Add to that the usual sleeper Sana songs like kuchiurusaimama (under motor 5, as "puchi-Sana") and all, and it was a sanatical evening for me.
Oh, and I nearly cried getting to play Murmur Twins on PNM 11. It brought back a rush of a feeling of being in Ikebukuro. Wacky.
I cheated and grabbed the unlock codes off gameFAQs so I could play songs like Chikara and Akumajo Dracula Medley (heh heh, that still reminds me of Keevon) and all. I was really sort of hoping they'd have put in some hypers for some really really old stuff, like PNM3 old, but oh well.
Anyway, woo, Pop'n. Good thing I have tomorrow evening slated for just doing laundry and cleaning up here and stuff (er,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zqfmbg, can you let me know what you're up to on Friday?), since I can just sit around and play Bemani games for hours and hours and be "productive" since I'll be laundering as well.
Oh, tonight I also went to volleyball. I've had this ongoing joke about how I want to "blow my left arm out" and need to come up with more abusive things to do to it, like softball and bowling and some other sports (ha, and at this rate Pop'n'Music as well), but I actually think I may have blown my arm out just on volleyball, so maybe I should stop kidding about it. It is really satisfying to feel like I've improved so much as a player in just four months, though -- I really feel almost like I'm at my game from college again.
I guess today was also the momentous day that IDX officially became the "GE Healthcare IT subdivision" -- I forget the exact phrase, Jack told me it at work but it went in one ear and out the other. So, yeah, I work for General Electric now. Exciting, I know.

And Akumajo Dracula Medley? *drool* That was a fun, fun song. I wish it were on IIDX somewhere ...

Are you going to the IIDX thingy on Saturday?

I'm going to try to make it down to the tourney on Saturday at some point, although I'm still not sure if I'm going to enter or not. Probably the biggest deciding factor will be whether or not I can wake up in time for it (and whether or not I catch the latest death-bug that's been traveling around, since one of my friends and my boss both seem to have it - and when they do strike, it's always on weekends ...).
