In my first contributing post, I discussed my favorite game franchise so far in the 2020s: Like A Dragon, also known as Yakuza from Sega—home of everyone’s favorite blue speedster, Sonic The Hedgehog.

In this edition of Music Spotlight, we talk about the J-Pop-inspired “live idol” girl group from South Korea, Kizuna Simulation, and their debut single “Touch to Start”.
Music Spotlight: Kizuna Simulation’s Touch To Start
Kizuna Simulation sounds like a J-Pop idol group. On the contrary, they were a J-Pop-inspired “live idol” group from South Korea. They were a 4-member girl group with a concept that is very similar to a modern J-Pop idol group in the vein of AKB48—but with what appears to be some sprinkle of K-Pop inspiration from Crayon Pop.

Noroi Kago is my first ever stream of a survival horror co-op game. Fortunately, I got to play with a friend, Rava_Zed, so it wasn't so bad... Until you see that Yokai in the shadows. 😱

Blurb of the Day: NHK World Discusses South Korea’s Embrace of Japanese Culture
NHK World Japan uploaded a video on their official YouTube channel discussing how South Korean youth are embracing media from Japan. This comes after years of conflict due to the Japanese occupation of Korea in the early 1900s, which resulted in harsh treatment of Koreans until Japan’s surrender in World War II.
