JKKDARK, were you the one saying that Sony could keep PS2 alive in North America/Europe if they re-released some Japanese PS2 games?

If so, nice job threatening Japanese game companies xD!

Because in Japanese culture, these same characters are known as "lolis" and I'm not exactly into that? I'll still buy it for the comedic value, but it's that type of game that I'd feel uncomfortable about playing in the living room.
