dmxratedFound out yesterday that Wonder Project J2 had been rereleased in Japan for mobile phones in April 2010.
Speaking of Japan-only N64 games, while the NP cover that I had Chelle put together is no longer immediately available on Google Images, I did find out that the image I gave her to use was actually part of the box's back cover. Well, I already had given it to Chelle, and at least it's better than nothing. Wouldn't be surprised if other viable images from the website appeared in the instructions manual.
On that note, while I did email Kristina right away after uploading the cover to Tumblr, it took her until this past Christmas Eve to get back to me:
Hi, sorry I didn't reply sooner, but it looks awesome. :) If only it was real and Getter Love!! really did get a US release.

Got my all-region DVD player out from one of my bins under my bed, and asked Brian if he wanted to watch an episode of Nichijou with me. Noticed a disk to this English show called Kingdom when I ejected the disk tray, but couldn't find the case for it. (Mom told me when I asked later that she had actually been looking for that for months. I commented that it's a good thing I ordered a Region 2 DVD of all things recently.)
Mom and Marie came home from somewhere right after I started it up, and I asked her to watch part of it as well, mainly about the music. After we were done watching, I brought up with her the fact that the music sound really old fashioned and hokey, even compared to purely instrumental stuff of today (and even though the music in this show isn't synchronized with what goes on).
Neither of us could place a finger on what it is, but for an analogy, try comparing the original 1933 version of King Kong to the 2005 remake. Or, among Disney films, try to compare Pinnochio (1940) to Aladdin (1992). I mean, even though the animation and lighting and stuff had obviously improved over time, the instruments are all the same, meaning that songs written for modern films could just have easily been written more than half a century ago.
My only guess here is that songwriting just kinda evolved, didn't it.
