    I wish I could feel anything as strongly as the amount Bandai Namco hates it when people play Taiko no Tatsujin. Especially the arcade machines, I feel like they’d lay down their lives rather than allow a Taiko machine to reach American soil.

      For all the talk the Japanese gov’t makes of using pop culture like anime, manga and video games to introduce people to other more traditional parts of Japanese culture (such as taiko), Japanese gaming companies sure aren’t buying into it. Oh no, someone’s eating an onigiri! Quick, make it a doughnut before it gets to the West!

      ikr? I have a Don Wada plush on pre-order since early October and the vendor had to delay it to this month. The hell is going on?
