STOP THIEF! That guy's stylishly roller-skating away with an expensive cheese and tomato pizza!

Newly appointed Famicrew regular Daan Koopman join JC and Danny again as they talk all things Japan!
It's a very rhythmic episode this week, which starts off with some serious talk about Japanese gaming journalism, before Daan movies onto his latest import, Kiki Trick on Wii, a game that might be worth learning Japanese and finding a Japanese friend to play with! Danny then talks about his latest non-eShop purchase, Rhythm Thief R. Is it an accurate portrayal of Parisian life or a crazy anime / Ouendan inspired game that everyone should play? Give it a listen and find out! JC then finds a few things to bitch about with his Annual Gift Man present, Mario Kart 7. Not to knock the big guy with his choice, he just wishes the game was a little more... complete.
Final Fantasy Theatrhythm DLC crops up in news, which gives Daan and Danny the chance to talk about how much they love rhythm games. Let's just say Square-Enix's pockets will be pretty full in the next few months thanks to those guys!
The show wraps up with some forum questions being answered, topics include the PS Vita reaction, differences in gibberish and over-priced Japanese pizza! Stop by the Japan thread if you want to ask some questions of your own, or e-mail famicast@nintendoworldreport.com
So strap yourself in, grab your copy of Nintendo Dream - it's Famicast a go-go baby!

I never break promises.
Hehe, who knew pizza-talk would turn out to be so entertaining for everyone?Not really. You get a demo CD or video every once in a while. Though the whole Free Gift thing has gone down since the Internet became popular. Its hard to find a Free Toy in Cereal anymore. Now its multiple UPCs and Shipping. Where's my annual Frosted Flake Plastic Sardine thing?
Turns out Domino's Japan have stopped doing the quiz, I checked today.
Maybe too many people *cough* abusing the system...
Do American mags not have that many free gifts?
I remember getting some cool stuff from NMS (UK mag) back in the day e.g game holders, videos, stickers, CD's etc.
Another great episode. I just love the Famicast. Thanks.I had a bit of a face-palm moment with that one, after the episode went to air...
Re: "secret-knock"; I suppose that is an American term in origin but I am surprised it has not apparently gained more general use elsewhere. It derives from the prohibition era in America when those "in the know" could only get into back-alley speak-easys (illegal gin-joints) if they knew the "secret knock". If you knocked on the unmarked door of the speak-easy in a certain code or pattern, they would let you in. The more you know!
Glad you are committing to monthly episodes. For February, I want to hear about what, if anything, Japan does with Valentines Day. The Christmas discussion yielded the startling and hilarious news about the KFC connection in Japan. I now want to know what other weird derivations occur during other "western" holidays.
Thanks guys.
