Tokyo Game Show:
A big thanks to all the fans who came to the stage for Rune Factory Frontier!
I got a turnip！！！o(*≧□≦)o″
An actual, edible turnip… yep.
At the stage, there was a gaming tournament, and the grand prize was a turnip!
I think I want to make some miso soup with this turnip～☆ミ
If I make some, I wonder if I should upload some pics…

At the Square Enix booth☆
I met all the staff members from Final Fantasy XI.
From left to right: Hiromichi Tanaka, me, Takashi Hasegawa, Rieko Katayama, Arata Hanyuda
Right now I want to play the trial version of FFXI again.
I haven’t done it yet, but I definitely won’t miss this chance☆ミ
I’m going to try my hand at being a Red Mage!
I wonder when I’ll hit level 75…
With a loud “kiai!”, I’m gonna go for it!!
It’s quite the level sink!* Naturally （*＾∇＾*） .

*I THINK level sink is the equivalent of what we English speakers call a level grind. i.e. You have to do a lot of tedious monster fighting and repetitive battles to really level up. It’s kind of expected for MMORPGs x_x.
