“Osu! Giant Robot” shirt by Meat Bun (click for a larger version). All profits from this brilliant Ouendan tribute shirt will go toward supporting Asian American pop culture magazine Giant Robot.
If you’re a fan of Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents — and I’m not sure how you can be reading this site and not be — grab this $24 tee! It’s not like there are many opportunities to buy Ouendan merchandise in the States.

I almost ignored this game based on its title when I spotted it in Natsume’s list of E3 highlights, but JC, who has a higher tolerance for this stuff, fortunately pointed out that it’s worthy of our attention.
Quick description for Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove:
“Gabrielle’s having a bad day. She sneezed her soul right out of her body! She’ll have to travel to Monster Town, the home of all things that go bump in the night, to get help.
Only by busting out the ghostliest dance moves and thrilling and chilling people will she be able to scare up the power she needs to get herself back into her body!”
There was a really dumb rumor going around weeks ago that this is a localization for Audio Inc’s Sakura Note. I’ve no idea how anyone could come to that conclusion.

This is actually a new game, previously unreleased in other territories, co-developed by Natsume and Santa Entertainment (Cheer We Go). The Japanese and U.S. editions are expected to ship around the same time.

If I had known this was essentially an Ouendan clone, I would so have given it the same kind of occasional attention I’ve given Natsume’s other March release, Squishy Tank.

Ouendan 2 bento by bento master Anna the Red. This delicious-looking lunch is inspired by the “Monkey Magic” level of Moeru! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii! Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2, in which a stuffed monkey and a toy soldier voyage home after escaping from a dump truck, set to a cover of the theme song to the Saiyuki anime.
I’m always a fan of Anna the Red’s bentos, but I’m especially glad I live in the same world with someone who will spend hours crafting food into the shape of characters from Ouendan 2.

It’s cute, yes, but not nearly as impressive as this video of my own cat, Hemingway, blazing through Ouendan 2:
He’s a beast! Literally, hur hur hur. Notice how far Hemingway was able to get in the game despite me distracting him and pulling his arm, halfway through.
