Frog Port is a new japanese retrogames online shop that has opened today! It's the first reasonable priced shop of this kind (almost if compared to some crazy Ebay bids) and there are a lot of masterpieces to discover (but of course not everything comes cheap especially for products imported to Japan from USA)!  Even if you are not an online shopper browsing trought Frog Port pages will introduce to many obscure retrogame treasures...

Today we found some links to japanese media coverage of Ai Chan first DVD Release:

Ascii.jp: “逆輸入アイドル”天野あいは、ちょっぴりMな電脳系!?

Sponichi: 天野あい　逆輸入アイドルが初ＤＶＤ

Akiba Keizai Shinbun: 「オタクアイドル」天野あいさん、秋葉原でDVD発売記念イベント


Exciter Magazine featured one page deciated to Amano Ai DVD and Julie art photos.
There are other magazines and newspaper who coeverd the event but I can't find out all the names... damn, I should study more kanji!
Anyway I'm pretty impressed by Ai Chan because she is getting a lot of coverage without the support of a big media company. I think her really cool artworks  are helping being noticed by magazine editors and journalists.

The japanese retrogamer Gyusyuabu has recently updated his net radio dedicated to
retro japanese PCs like the X68000, MSX or PC98. He got a superb selection of old computer games tunes and created a really cool interface for his net radio (he even implemented a "request"
  function so that any user can put his favourite songs in the request queque). For the copyrights paranoids ot there: Gyusyubu's radio playlist doesn't contain any JASRAC song and he ripped the music straight from the games (not from CDs) so this radio is should be 100% legal (almost in Japan).
