The full title of the movie was publicly released: "Game Center CX THE MOVIE: 1986 Mighty Bomb Jack." The theme song will be "Player 1" done by the rock band Dohatsuten. A summary was released too: "The year is 1986. Keita, a boy who loves games, has a crush on his classmate Kumiko. He wants to approach Kumiko any way he can, but his chance never comes. And so, in order to get Kumiko's attention, he boldly stands up to a group of delinquents who refuses to return one of his games." ETA: The Budokan special will air on New Year's Eve. zari-gani fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Nov 5, 2013 |

Budokan sounded pretty cool, and great to see our flowers! Also glad it'll be on TV eventually.

It's going to be hilarious two or three episodes from now when the bouquets show up in the challenge room. Assuming they shoot another challenge in the next day or two.

I've only seen Inoue card owners wishing they got Abe instead... I got Inoko MAX! I'll throw some pictures up when I get home. taopriest posted:Someone know how many people attend at Budokan? Is it sold out? 7000 people, and 10,000 was considered capacity crowd. Random Stranger posted:You know that Abe's backstory is even greater than our beliefs. My seat was close enough that I can confirm that...Abe smiles a lot when filming Arino, at least he did at the Budokan.

I have been watching GCCX since seeing the PaRappa episode translated (I have been following the latest episodes as they have aired since Yoshi's Island) and really enjoy it. It's such a great show. Thank you SAGCCX for all the translated episodes you guys have done.  I have wondered what others think of Kan's narrations (how he does it). I think he does a great job, his voice is really cool.

They're selling leftover Budokan merchandise on Rakuten! http://item.rakuten.co.jp/stylejam/c/0000000119/ You can use a proxy service VVV That sucks; I haven't bought anything from Rakuten in a year so I didn't know.

I dig his voice and think he makes a great job of it. For something that was originally done to save on the budget, he really makes it work. It's especially great when he has some back-and-forth with Arino like in the live specials.

I buy Japanese stuff for foreigners all the time, so if you have a request, hit me up via PM or AIM or something. As long as you have Paypal, we can work something out. One thing I thought was hilarious that I never mentioned during the show was how they had all the rock-star-type settings on stage, like jets of flame and bursts of smoke. They probably told Arino about them so he wouldn't get too close, but they never told him WHEN they would activate so every time they did, he nearly jumped out of his skin.

I don't understand what's being said the majority of the time when watching the live specials, but when Arino laughs at something Kan says, it's probably funny enough that I'll laugh anyway.

Got an e-mail from Kan (I never said I sent the flowers, but I guess my name on a delivery slip or something): "Thank you for the flowers! The staff was touched to see flowers from such an incredibly international team. Thank you for organizing it! I'll let the Chief know. Next is Las Vegas! (laughs)"

A much more detailed summary of the GCCX movie was just released to the press: "The year is 1986. Daisuke is a young boy who loves Famicom and Shonen Jump Magazine. While talking about the Famicom game 'Mighty Bomb Jack' with his crush Kumiko, he promises to lend her his copy of the game. Daisuke is ecstatic -- how glad he is to be a Famicom gamer! However, his 'Mighty Bomb Jack' is swiped by his rebellious yankii childhood friend Katou. Even worse, the game then falls into the hands of the legendary yankii-rebel Abe, an older kid. Daisuke's 'Mighty Bomb Jack' is in danger of being perma-borrowed. Is his chance at love with Kumiko over? Determined, Daisuke heads for Abe's room... Fast forward to the year 2006, at Tokyo's Hitotsubashi Hall. 800 'Game Center CX' fans fill the venue and watch Chief Arino struggle with the brutally hard 'Mighty Bomb Jack,' a game he's twice tackled and twice lost. As the fans cheer him on, he pulls a few miracle moves, but the challenge's time limit ticks closer... Warp or save? Linked together by the same game, the two have a miraculous encounter. What of Daisuke and Kumiko's love?! And can Chief Arino successfully clear "Mighty Bomb Jack"?!"

From Kan's Twitter: @topazmym - These flowers were sent to the Budokan yesterday. Seems Game Center CX is really popular overseas too. @kankanp - Nina got a lot of overseas fans together and had them sent. We're very grateful! https://twitter.com/kankanp/status/398017305247883264 I also overheard some people taking pictures that the art was "super good". If anyone is interested, here's an Imgur album of pictures I took. Most are pretty poor quality (some because of the dark, some because of always moving, etc), but here you go. http://imgur.com/a/e9x1G The 26th picture is of the ribbons that were scattered at the end. I think it was Leather Fedora who mentioned them, but they say "We'll be waiting for you at Tokyo Dome for our 20th (year) event. Thank you for all the memories. GCCX Chief Arino". Also, there are some left-over Budokan goods on sale here, in limited quantities. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/stylejam/c/0000000119/ Kakaricho fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Nov 7, 2013 |
