Blow up the ‘May blues’!  A special article for rhythm games🎵

 

 

 

(o´ω｀)ﾉ･ﾟ･☆★ Hello everybody, it’s Ayami from Otaku Republic!  It’s already in the middle of May, isn’t it? 

 

In this time of the year, the disease called ‘May blues’ are prevalent in Japan.... ( =ω=) 

 

This is the disease that mostly businessmen tend to get, and once we get, it’s hard to get over.  What in the world is the scary disease, ‘May blues’? 

 

Now, let us hear people who have the ‘May blues’.

 

 

 

_(:3」∠)_ “I feel listless to go to work......”

 

_(:3」∠)_ “I don’t wanna go to work......  I just wanna sleep at home.”

 

_(:3」∠)_ “I don’t wanna go to school......”

 

 

 

( =ω=) Yes, the symptoms of the May blues are feeling listless, sluggish and lazy going to work or studying and just feeling like dragging at home!  Such a scary disease.... 

 

We have the big holiday called “Golden Week” in Japan.  (Check out the Saori Press for more details of Golden Week!)

Even though lots of people enjoy traveling or spending time in their hometown during the holiday....  it’s hard for them to go back to work or school in reaction.  This condition is called ‘May blues’. ( ･_･)σ

 

(I’ve heard that they have the similar diseased called ‘January blues’ in England!  It indicates the blue feeling after Christmas and New Year’s holidays.)

 

 

 

( =ω=) Me?  I’m all good!  I’m enjoying working here in Otaku Republic!  I’m writing....

 

( =ω=) ...writing Ayami Times as usual....

 

( =ω=) I just don’t feel like doing this anymore...

 

( =ω=) Is it okay if I’m finished here?

 

 

 

Okay then, see you at the next Ayami Times!

 

 

( =ω=)ﾉ Bye now!

 

 

 

“Heeeeeeey!” ε＝＝＝＝＝ヽ(●ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ Σ( =ω=)ﾉ  “OMG!  It’s Saori san!”

 

(●ﾟдﾟ)  (=ω= ) “Oh please!  Just do your work!”  “I’m sorry......”

 

 

 

( =ω= )……

 

 

(・ω・) Grin!

 

 

(`・ω・´) Okay, let me restart here!

 

 

 

 

 

◎Blow up the ‘May blues’!  A special article for rhythm games🎵

 

 

(`・ω・´) Today, I’ll show you some rhythm games which even people who have May blues can enjoy!

 

 

 

The basic rule of the rhythm game is to push button or screen to music with good timing.  The representative of the rhythm game is.... (・∀・)🎵

 

 

 

☆Bakumatsu Rock

 

 

 

This is a rhythm game of PSVita whose anime was televised last year!

I like Okita kun, by the way. ( ･v･)

 

 

 

☆Pop’n Music

☆Taiko no Tatsujin

We can see those two in Japanese game centers, can’t we?

 

 

There are more rhythm games but today, I’ll give you more details about two rhythm games which I’ve been into! (´*･ω･)ｏ

 

 

　

☆SHOW BY ROCK!!

 

 

 

This is a rhythm game which was produced by the founder of Hello Kitty, Sanrio Company, Ltd.!  This anime is also being televised and the game is so popular too. 

 

The anime of SHOW BY ROCK!! is....

( ・ω・)Wow, that’s so cute.

 

 

anicobin.ldblog.jp

 

 

Σ( ・ω・) That girl turned into an animal!  She’s still cute though!!

 

 

 

anicobin.ldblog.jp

 

 

((( ・ω・) Thi, this.... is..... !

 

 

 

anicobin.ldblog.jp

 

 

 

( ・_・) so cool.

 

 

 

I gotta just play this game, right?  The original game of the SHOW BY ROCK!! is the rhythm game which you can enjoy with your smartphone.  Let’s give it a try! ヾ(*・ω・)ﾉ

 

 

Here comes the music!  This is the song ‘Falling Roses’ sung by the band ‘Shingan Crimsonz’ who also appeared in the anime!  I tried it in normal mode this time. (・ω・)

 

 

 

 

　

I made it! (o゜▽゜)o  Even though the members of the band are cute animal characters, the melody is so cool with rock music.  (By the way, the vocal is Taniyama Kishou-san who appears in Uta no prince-sama or Shingeki no Kyojin as well! (･ω･´*))

 

 

 

Since the screen is longitudinal, it might be a little hard to press three buttons at the same time.  This is how I do, but I’m sure you can imagine my fingers getting cramps. ( =ω=)

 

Overall, this game is interesting with charming characters and music!

 

 

 

 

☆Love Live! School Idol Festival

 

 

 

You can never forget about Love Live! School Idol Festival!, speaking of the rhythm games. 

In this rhythm game, we can enjoy both songs sung by the school’s idol group ‘μ`s’ and the stories where cute girls appear. ( ‘∇‘ )

 

By the way, my favorite character in μ`s is.... Nishikino Maki-Chan! 

Even though Maki-Chan is a beautiful, cool and accomplished girl.... her voice when she is singing is so charming. (^-^*)

 

 

 

 

 

And guess what!  The event where you can get SR card of Maki-Chan is being held in Love Live now! 

 

Well, let’s play the Love Live! School Idol Festival to get it now! (｡･ω･)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The song of the event this time is ‘Trouble Busters’! 

This song makes us happy with up-tempo melody! 

Especially the hook parts give us power. ヽ(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

 

 

But on the other hand, it’s hard to touch the screen with good timing...

I couldn’t get the full-combo in one time. ( =ω=) 

But if you keep clearing this song, you can get Maki-Chan!

(Isn’t Maki-Chan in this military-style costume so charming...? ( *=ω=))  I’ll keep it up!

 

 

 

(・ω・)　Oh well?

(・ω・)　Maybe I got over the May blues, talking about these rhythm games!

 

 

 

How did you guys like it? 

Why don’t you blow up your daily tiredness, playing these rhythm games?

 

 

 

Well, I’ll see you in the next Ayami Times!

(*･Д･*)ﾉ See you!
