eh really ?

@@rizkysumahadi yes🥲

Pangya has been running the server in Korea since 2004, but the Korean server shut down in 2016. I've been playing for 11 years from 2005 to 2016, but I feel so sorry about the end of the server operation. However, I feel fortunate that Pangya is possible on an overseas server.

Me. Cuz I’m og here

Same on the flip side

One of my favourite parts of the track, everytime this kicks in, I panic lol

Part 2 is currently work in progress, and it will take a bit of time to work the solution, as the figure exhibition did not allow to take vids but only photos. I tend to show a few photos but I have trouble of which I should select.

2024 still listening...

But MASTER & Re:MASTER are really tough to handle

@@mcpy2000 I have never played such a game as this, though I watched many people playing while I was in Japan. I have heard that many arcades are closing in Japan, including SEGA arcades in Tokyo! Such is coronavirus. You're amazing!

The main issue is, as you have mentioned, Japan has not fully opened its borders to foreigners. It is, however, true that Japan has begun to accept tour groups as a part of revitalization of tourism, I still need to be quarantined by a week on the return trip, given that I joined any of the tour groups. In addition, the lottery for foreigners is only limited to S-tier seats this year, which I do not usually go with. SS-tier seats grant my friends & I better view of the stage. Finally, the air fare is explosively expensive now, I guess I will wait for another year to see how my country deals with COVID-19 & so does Japan, as well as looking forward to seeing a price drop in air fares (expect to be $300-$400 for a round trip) It is nice to talk to you Steven, I hope we can meet again in Magical Mirai.

​@@mcpy2000 Good evening in Asia, mcpy. It is always good to "bump" into you - even virtually. Yes, you've identified correctly the issues and hurdles that gaijin are facing if we attempt to attend MM 2022 this year. Recently, the Japanese Govt even added a VISA requirement for US citizens! The VISA application is onerous, lengthy, and very difficult to interpret. And, as you mentioned, only organized "tour groups" (with CCP-style oversight at all times) at this time. These tour groups are small, and very very restrictive. "No Thank You" says Steven-san. I was laughing yesterday when I read on Japan Times newspaper that only 1,600 applications have been submitted by gaijin to join a "tour group" over the next TWO MONTHS! That's 800 people in these groups PER MONTH! I think the "system" is not working for Japan. Meanwhile, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia are all happy to be accepting American tourists en-masse right now. In the same article, they indicated that 400,000 foreigners were being admitted into Thailand THIS MONTH alone. And you are so correct on the airfares!!! From my State in America, airfare (not even direct flights!) are currently $2,100 USD RT! In 2017, I paid $600 USD RT, and by 2019, the cost was up to $800 USD. But now, the airfare is outrageous! "Explosively expensive" indeed. According to my credit card statement, it looks like I did, indeed, receive 3 @ S-tier tickets for Tokyo MM. I cannot even give them to anyone if I cannot attend; This round there will be no "will call" booth at MM; All tickets must be verified and printed at a konbini in Japan. With proof of ID. Gaaah. Finally, on the plus side, I will say that the yen-USD exchange rate is at a 20 year low/high. Wow. IF we could actually travel to Japan, everything is about 20% less expensive than it was 6 months ago.......................... Sorry for the long message. I'm happy to hear from you as always! Please stay safe from corona always. I just had my 4th vaccine (2nd booster) of Moderna vaccine yesterday morning. But, as you know, I'm old! So far, I have not had corona yet. Take care!
