GPM studio is starting their alpha test for D.A.T.E online which is an adult online love simulation game. The game appears to play as an ADV game and largely focuses on the online dating aspects, with women playing female characters and guys playing male characters and having 1:1 chats.

The game apparently has a scenario with events that the players will follow which may lead to H scenes and finally an ending.

Korean online gaming news site thisisgame had a feature on the game with screenshots from the game and an interview with the developers.

I’m not sure if I can see any chance of success in this game.

ITmedia reports that popular niconico performers Shachou, nayuta, Sandai guitar damashii, and Tissue hime will be performing on a TV commercial for the book version of the cellphone novel Kimi no sei.

Macross Frontier movie was announced to be in the making in the final episode of Macross Frontier.

Famitsu reports that it was announced during the Gyakuten Saiban autumn orchestra concert that the all-female musical theater Takarazuka Revue will be performing a musical play adaptation based on Gyakuten Saiban. Where all-female means Naruhodo will be played by a female actresses.

The main character of this play will be Naruhodo, but they’ll be using the name from the US version “Phoenix Wright” instead so that it fits more to the style that the Takarazuka Revue is known for.

They also plan to have all major characters (such as Mitsurugi) from the game to appear, and there are plans to introduce some romance into the story.

The musical will be performed between 5th February 2009 to 15th February 2009 in the Takarazuka Bow Hall and from 24th February 2009 to 2nd March 2009 in Tokyo.

For lack of anything interesting to post about, ai sp@ce closed beta started yesterday for people who bought from their booth at Comiket and players have shown screenshots from the game.

It’s not real panties so it’s not embarrassing

One of the animators working on Minamike season 3 apparently leaked the info on his blog that the anime will be done by Aslead, the guys who did everybody’s favorite Minamike okawari! The character designer is still the same guy that did okawari as well. I bet everybody’s really excited over this now!

Miman renai is a manga by Takashima Hiromi running in Comic High! about a 29 year old guy who’s working as a programmer in a eroge company who falls in love with a real middle school girl.

Sales data from Techgian and PUSH!! magazine are out and Little Busters EX has apparently had lower sales than the original Little Busters. So either Key fans aren’t too interested in ero scenes or Itaru’s scary art of Kurugaya’s detachable boobs sent everybody running for cover.

Techgian and PUSH!! counts sales by points, so actual sales numbers are not available.

I guess that makes Little Busters EX the 3rd best selling eroge for the year, with Fortune Arterial and ToHeart2 AD in the top 2 winning by a big margin.
