I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jessica Nigri for promoting Lollipop Chainsaw. Not only in North America, but in Japan as well, she did her best to promote the game. But that's not all. She is also an amazing cosplayer who helped promote "Killer is Dead". 僕がロリポップチェーンソーの宣伝で心よりお礼を言いたいのがジェシカ・ニグリさんです! 彼女は北米だけでなく日本での宣伝に誠心誠意貢献してくれた。でも…それだけじゃない。彼女は"Killer is Dead"の宣伝も助けてくれた本当に素晴らしいコスプレイヤーだ😀 #KillerisDead #キラーイズデッド

『Mastercardのグローバリズムに屈する日本』 ―海外カードブランドが国内の表現流通を上書きする問題― 日本国内で合法に制作・販売されているコンテンツが、海外カードブランドの私的規約によって、事実上流通できなくなる。 これは単なる決済会社の判断では済まされない。 現代のオンライン取引において、クレジットカード決済は社会インフラに近い。 VisaやMastercardに拒否されれば、合法な作品であっても販売は極めて困難になる。 もちろん、違法コンテンツを排除することに異論はない。 盗撮、リベンジポルノ、実在人物の無断性的ディープフェイク、児童性的虐待物、詐欺、マネーロンダリング、違法取引、未成年への成人向け販売は厳格に排除されるべきである。 しかし、問題はそこから先だ。 成人した利用者が、成人向けとして区分された完全フィクションを購入することまで、海外カードブランドが「ブランド毀損」「成人向けリスク」「国際基準」といった曖昧な理由で妨げるなら、それは私企業による実質的な表現規制である。 現実の被害者がいる違法コンテンツと、現実の被害者がいないフィクションは明確に分けなければならない。 表現の可否は、日本の法律、裁判所、レーティング、年齢確認によって判断されるべきであり、海外カードブランドの私的規約が日本法を上書きしてはならない。 この問題の本質は、アダルトコンテンツの是非ではない。 一度、決済会社が合法な表現の内容に踏み込むことを認めれば、その対象は性的表現に限られない。 政治的表現、宗教表現、暴力表現、風刺、歴史認識、差別表現とされるものにも広がり得る。 外部団体が圧力をかけ、決済会社が評判リスクを恐れ、プラットフォームが過剰に削除する。 そんな構造が定着すれば、表現市場は法律ではなく、決済インフラの私的規約に支配される。 日本は、漫画、アニメ、ゲーム、同人文化を世界に誇るコンテンツ国家である。 その国が、自国の法律で合法とされる表現の流通を、海外カードブランドの判断に委ねるなら、それは文化主権の放棄に等しい。 政府はただちに、決済拒否の理由開示、異議申し立て制度、国内法優先の原則、決済インフラの中立性を法整備すべきである。 合法な表現の流通を守れない国は、コンテンツ国家とは言えない。 👇日本の法律を無視する決済会社

［ポリコレと真っ向勝負！iPhone事実上のエロゲー解禁］ DMMやpixiv、Fantia等一部R18コンテンツを提供する日本のプラットフォームがポリコレと結託した外資のクレジットカード会社から嫌がらせを受けてきた。 日本の法律を遵守しているにも関わらず、一部のアダルト表現が気に入らないので、クレジット決済を使わせないというものだ。 それに対抗するかのように日本のスマホソフトウェア競争促進法が昨年12月に施行された。 これによりiPhoneのゲーム等のアプリに関し、Appleの独占が崩壊する。 iPhoneユーザーは、Apple Storeだけでなく DMM Storeからもアプリをダウンロードできるようになる。 今後様々なStoreが立ち上がっていくことが期待される。 左翼は表現の自由を無視し、大人にも規制をかけようとする。 日本はポリコレに屈するべきではない。 4gamer.net/games/999/G999904…

🎌 The election is tomorrow. We're going to save Japan!

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 12:42 PM EST 02.05.26 The Great Country of Japan is having a very important Legislative Election on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The results of this Election are very important to the future of Japan. The Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, has already proven to be a strong, powerful, and wise Leader, and one that truly loves her Country. I look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Takaichi to the White House on March 19th. In my visit to Japan I, and all of my Representatives, were extremely impressed with her. In addition to National Security, the United States and Japan have worked closely together on making a very substantial Trade Deal, one that strongly benefits both Countries. Prime Minister Takaichi is someone who deserves powerful recognition for the job she and her Coalition are doing and, therefore, as President of the United States of America, it is my Honor to give a Complete and Total Endorsement of her, and what her highly respected Coalition is representing. SHE WILL NOT LET THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN DOWN! Good luck on your very important Sunday Vote. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

🇯🇵 Japanese PM Takaichi's campaign is bringing out massive crowds everywhere she goes. Many young people are showing up at these events and plan to vote for the ruling party in the upcoming election.

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi is gifting President Trump and America 250 CHERRY TREES for our country’s 250th birthday in DC, the embassy says She is an AMAZING ally! 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 “I extend a gift of 250 cherry trees to Washington DC...I also understand Japanese fireworks will be shown in DC on July 4th next year!" the PM told Trump late last year Her approval rating is 70%! 🔥

When asked at Davos if Japan needs more foreign workers, Minister Katayama answered: “Japan will not follow Europe and become an immigrant society.”

James Gunn says “I don’t care about prestige.” “I mean, sure, would it be cool to be nominated for Best Director or something? Yeah, would I rather have that than not? But it’s not really my concern. Occasionally I have ideas that are more independent movies, but I like making the kind of movies that I make, and I like making pop cinema, for lack of a better term. If I can have those things also be something that are emotionally resonant to people, or affect people in a deeper, more spiritual way, like a lot of people have told me that ‘Superman’ did, a lot of people have told me that ‘Guardians 3’ did, then that’s fantastic. That’s what I would love to be able to do. But I like making the big movies too. There’s an artistry to it, the creative flow. But then I also like the part of it that’s putting the big puzzle together and creating this machine that works for an audience to elicit a reaction from them, whether it’s emotional, whether it’s laughter, whether it’s screaming, whether it’s whatever it is. That’s the fun part of it.” (variety.com/2026/film/awards…)

Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.

A Statement from GameStop

CNN is referring to the new PM of Japan as a “hardliner conservative” — this is a signaling phrase to its lefty readers that she is “icky.” In my book, CNN‘s opprobrium means she must be pretty good. Good luck to PM Takaichi!

Recently, it feels like there’s been a renewed awareness of the role of physical editions. I’ve also learned from many RePOP players just how important it is to own a physical edition. Since most games today go through two to three years of updates after release, I think it would be great if a new ecosystem emerged where definitive physical editions, including all updates and DLC, could be released smoothly and made easy to purchase.
