Song of the Week! 7 November 2026
Those following us on our X/BlueSky socials (and of course, local arcade goers) are already aware of a nasty situation that is heavily impacting current Nijiiro going-ons: a global suspension of the ALL.Net networking services, leaving regular gameplay on active Nijiiro Version cabs unavailable, unless game center-operator setups (like service play/offline) are engaged.
Never a more apt moment for yet another console-exclusive pick, wouldn't you say?

Song of the Week! 31 October 2026
It's Halloween once more, modern pride and joy of dentists everywhere as well as a time of spooks and chills of all sorts in general. We've already had a couple of Saturday features falling on the fated day, exploring the theme of spooks between originally-composed frights and actual fears from yours truly, but for this third iteration, we're up to explore some other kind of music-game-related horrors (and a less-common one at that).
You'll see what I mean soon enough, after the jump...
