    Maybe they were playing Idolmaster :congratulatory:

    Anyway, the documentary looks cool, thinking of donating the $15 for the download.

    100 yen? I go to a much better indie arcade where classics from the 80's and 90's are 30 yen to 50 yen a game. And once you've finished on them you can play some of the latest games out there plus all those lovely 2D shooters.

    Yeah, well -- someone of us live where the arcade's rent is more than 5000 yen a month. ;)

    For those on the fence, these guys did their homework. Quite a lo of interviews.

    I only hope the arcades still exist by the time I get to visit Japan! Looks like a great show.

    Whoa, 5000 yen? That's almost like 60 bucks a month. You sure you didn't mean to add a few zeros to that total? Because for rent like that, I'd totally open up an arcade.

    I was being sarcastic. But land/rent prices in Tokyo compared to the rest of the country are ridiculous, nonetheless.
