 doesn't seem to be a well built front page.... (well, maybe turning off
your Java capabilities might help...) but I'd rather spend my time
reading a game magazine... the game show is comming soon...

 it says there will be a Sakura Taisen in English. (only Sakura Taisen
1).. it might include the Colums game as well... (nothing big of a
deal... I didn't see any info. about Sakura Taisen 2... which is a
bigger deal ^_^; (my computer crashed before I loaded up the front page,
so couldn't see much of the site...)
 I thought Sakura Taisen was a dead game already... (Sakura Taisen 2
will bring it back, maybe...)..... maybe, they might have the re-do pack
thing... (the "Sata Colle" (Saturn Collection)...

 Ah, I see.... (well, if you can read Japanese, you can play Sakura
Taisen 2 as soon as it comes out this Spring ^_-
 Hopefully, I can get a nice seat again at the Sega booth, if they have
a Sakura Taisen event.... (wonder which guest will be there this
time.... I know Hitoshi and Joe won't be there, if there'a SG event at
the same time ^_-)....I should write a report about this soon...
maybe...
