Toooooooo long time no see...sorry(anytime) I went to Artnia, that is an official shop of Square-Enix at Tokyo, on May 10 to see the original drawings exhibition of Vagrant Story . (ARTNIA official site http://www.jp.square-enix.com/artnia/index.html) ARTNIA started doing old game illustorations exhibitions once a month from this April. The first exihibition was of FF8(last month). The second exibition is opened from May 10 to 22 (only 13 days). 17 original drawings by Mr. Akihiko Yoshida can be seen. Many of those pics are from ending title that have never been published in any form except the game ending itself. Some pics debut here

Sorry for being in a long absent mode(though this is my ordinary state...). Thanks soooo much for the birthday greetings, especially the present, that is, 3 month premium membership! It's getting cold day by day in Japan. (On the other hand it's soooo hot in summer as if one is in the subtropical zone. The air temperature has surpassed the body temperature until 3 month ago.) I don't like winter very much because it has only a short daytime that seems to bustle me! If only it were always spring or autumn!

So long time no see...(again & always). Thanks the one who gave me a premium membership & thank you for giving me many Lhama badges! My Lhama seems to have been upgraded to an Albino Lhama. (Although I understand little about the meaning of Lhama badges...are they a kind of cheering?) I've beaten FF7 at last. It took nearly a year with a long, long break. I skipped almost all mini games(casino, chocobo and so on) but it took about 50 hours. What a long journey!
