■『I'm going to tell you a little bit about the location test.

「And I'm going to put this game together because it says something about the AW card, and the lottery card is the same as the lottery card used on the Gillies.。

「And the Internet Select is a "salaryman" so I can't use it on Giltie.。

The AW cards that are currently on sale for the Girtys are not available on this rocket.。

The back of the card has a 20-times limit, but this time, you can use up to 200 times.。

It's impossible to transfer the cards.。

It cannot be used after the location shoot ends.

Some of the results for those with excellent performance will be reflected when this product goes into operation. Information regarding this matter will be announced on the official website soon.

The card used in Salaryman Kintaro's Location is the same card that was previously used in Guilty's Location.

■About “Arcadia May Issue”

I bought the “Arcadia May issue” released on the 30th. "Pop'n 11" is a music game that explains the strategy for "Tank! Hyper". “Pop'n Relationship” features an interview with “Seiya Murai.”

"Guitar 11th/Drums 10th" has photos of 4 types of entry cards. The guitar is a clip image of "DragnBlade" and an illustration drawn by "Yen Kinoshita", but it is a drawing that I have never seen during the location test.
The drums are an illustration of "that old man" who is also the image character of this work, and an illustration of "Riyu & Noria". Maybe it's a clip from "☆shinging☆"?

*Thank you very much to "Nyamidori.net" for your hard work over the past four and a half years. I'm looking forward to "Nekosta".

Friday, March 26th

*Starting tomorrow, I will go to Osaka for 1 night and 2 days. Although we are on a road trip to see “One Thousand Dreams”, we also plan to stop by an arcade. I'm planning to compile a short expedition report.

■Haru Urara loses by Booby in the 106th race (Radio Tanpa horse racing commentary homepage)

I finished 10th out of 11 horses. The sales for Kochi horse racing on this day were 860 million yen. The race Haru Urara entered was worth 510 million yen. The main race, Kurofune Sho (unified GIII), had sales of 220 million yen.
The main race and final race have been sold at local racecourses and off-track sales venues across the country (with some exceptions), but should we be happy that they are outselling the main race? (Originally, the Kurofune Sho, a national exchange event between the JRA and local horse racing, and the All Japan Rookie of the Year Championship, which was held in eight races, should have attracted attention.)

■Pop'n Music Festival 2004 Report

I went to the "Pop'n Music Festival" held at Harajuku Astro Hall. Let me summarize what happened at that time.

Numbered tickets were handed out at 11am, but by the time I got in line, over 100 people had already arrived. Perhaps because School's live performance is scheduled, more than half of them are women.

The venue opened at 1:00 pm, and we were able to play on the demo board for a while. What was left was

Pop'n Music 9 → 6 units

Pop'n Music Puzzle Ball → 2 units

Pop'n Music → 1 unit

Pop'n Music 2 → 1 unit

There were also nostalgic numbers "1" and "2". By the way, all hidden songs on "9" were unlocked. Until the event started, a promotional video for the PS2 version of "Pop'n Music 7" was being played on the stage monitor. It's the same as the one that was played at the event before.

The event starts at 13:30. First up is the "Pop'n 9 Game Tournament." The emcee's sister and KMJ Taro appeared. The event was carried out by these two people. The rules are Battle Mode, where the moderator reads out the number on the "guest pass" you receive when entering the venue, and the person who wins the number participates as a player. The person who wins the rock-paper-scissors game will be given the right to select the song. The winning products are “T-shirt, special CD (I think it was the CD you got when you bought it at the store), poster (PS2 version 9 poster), and game software (Pop'n 9).” The participation prize is a special CD. A total of 10 rounds were played. For reference, the songs chosen are as follows.

Round 1 Takkyu Boogie

Round 2 Darkness 2

3rd round Mass

Round 4 Tweet

Round 5 Rock Guitar

Round 6 Depafunk

Round 7 Energy Lock

Round 8 Anime Hero R

Round 9 Cowgirl Song

Round 10 Beat Rock (with live singing by KMJ Taro himself!)

By the way, the first person to arrive was there at 5:30. It is said that 202 people came to the venue (number 202 was the last serial number read at the game tournament).

The game tournament ended at 2:30 p.m. Then take a 30 minute break. The School live & talk show will finally start from 3pm. The songs that were performed this time were:

1st song Ping Pong Boogie

2nd song: Story of the basement of the department store

3rd song School Life

4th song Sabrina

It is. Here is a summary of the live and talk show:

●At the entrance, Ms. Suwa suddenly said, “Thank you for the encore.” He was holding a table tennis racket in his hand and wearing a headband with the words “Dangerous Person” written on it.

●Throwing a table tennis ball into the audience while singing "Ping Pong Boogie." I was hitting it with a racket properly. Of course, I was hitting it lightly.

●The other day, I played table tennis with the editor-in-chief of a certain magazine. Although he achieved a stunning victory, he lost to the helpers he had prepared. When he was in high school, that helper was said to be the 8th most talented person in the country. It will be published in a magazine released on the 12th. “Weekly The PlayStation 2”? , or maybe another magazine?

●It seems that Suwa-san's sister's child (2 years old) was watching "Bomberman Jetters," so perhaps that's why she calls Suwa-san Bomberman?

●For this live show, Suwa-san and Furukawa-san each had microphones, but there was one in the middle. After the second song was over, a manzai performance started using that microphone! The first story is set in a “department store underground”. Suwa plays the role of the store clerk. Mr. Furukawa played the role of a guest in a skit. The second one was after the third song. This time it's about "school". Suwa plays the role of teacher. Mr. Furukawa plays the role of a student in a skit. By the way, during the rehearsal, the hostess said that the two of them were like “unpopular comedians.”

●It was discovered that Mr. Furukawa likes perfume. Her favorite is Bvlgari.

●Gift corner after the live show. Mr. Suwa gave me goggles that I used to prevent hay fever and a T-shirt with the word "love" (signed) that I used for Christmas events and recordings. Mr. Furukawa gave us a hat and sunglasses. They were giving presents to the four people who remained until the end in a game of rock, paper, scissors. In addition, Konami presented a three-piece set of “CD player, special CD, and goods” to those who survived the same rock-paper-scissors competition.

This is the "guest pass" you received when you entered.
Since it wasn't specifically collected, I was able to take it home with me.
