Site announcement: New graphics!

Okay so it's not major stuff like last year, but I have made some new pictures, once again to make the site more attractive to use. I hope everyone likes them!

First off, remember the change I made to the sidebar, for the Song of the Week and the Feature Articles? I mentioned making header images for those and other elements of the sidebar, so here they are.


Six Four of them (deleted two unnecessary ones) to place in the side, replacing the small header text! They look a bit too similar to the normal buttons on top though, so if you have any color suggestions, you can comment below.

The other set of pictures are for genres, like the ones mentioned in the Song of the Week list and the Song Series pages.


One for each genre! New arcade model Don-chan is on the left. They'll definitely see some use around the site.

Okay, now that that's over with....I have some announcements to be made.

The anime song series have been defunct since that copyright notice we got for the Naruto series, and as much as we would like to get those back up and running, we cannot risk getting another one of those notices, whether we are in the wrong or not. There are four ways we can go about it:

1. Delete them entirely.
2. Slowly integrate them into Song of the Week.
3. Convert them into just lists with no description.
4. Bite the bullet and republish them.

Again, we would like your feedback on what can be done with them. Any help would be appreciated!

P.S. One more big site change is coming over the next two weeks, and this will also include the small request we received from tetsutaro two days ago; an archive specially for the Feature section (and another reworking to the Song of the Week pages and SongID pages, both of which have become long and bloated). Look forward to it!

P.S.S. Expect the Taiko Time quiz to show up sometime next week too! Don't worry, it won't be a very long one this time!
