maybe some of you have seen this before, but i haven't, and i guess it goes here

it's a group of japanese people playing the first FMA opening, "Melissa" by Porno Graffitti, on the Nintendo DS. i can barely get my mp3 player to work, so i'm quite impressed. check it out.

and oops! it seems PK rockin' has already posted something like this under FMA games (the thread i never check, cause i don't have any sort of game system ;__; ). my apologies.

...That's just cool. They should do that with Asian Kung-Fu Generation's Rewrite and I'd be a happy (fan)girl. XD
(I'm sure you wouldn't ever see so many adult people in one place holding a Nintendo-handheld where I live. ^^; )
And... I think I'm really going to get a Nintendo DS once we get it here in Europe. I don't care if I don't have the money! I just want that thing! >__>

Wow, my parents may want to get one of those. They've always wanted to play a musical instrument but can't (resulting in the sending of me and my siblings to various music schools for years). Then again, they still don't have the eye-hand coordination needed when playing gameboy.

Amazing. Simply astonishing harmonic accuracy.

Except for the interlude, where the higher register seemed a little too loud.

*applauds* wow, japanese people really do have superpowers. that's uber impressive, i can't even play a video game on those things very well, and they can play porno graffitti on them?? *feels untalented*
i wonder if i can split the sound file and download that to my phone and use it as a ringtone...? that'd kick ass... heh heh...

THat's really amazing, but you have to be Japanese to even think of that

They must be good at remembering their own parts to play... it sounded really good.

Friend of mine imported it, and its an awesome game. 8 people can play off of 1 cartridge. It has both Melissa and Ready Steady Go, and both of them are pretty hard. But I love it. Cant wait till it comes out in the US, even though the songs will probably be different

as you said, spiffy in a nerdy way...kinda freaky, thinking of how many middle aged adults are gathered around playing a song on video game systems...they're even in business suits, which makes it scarier

I'm amazed that they could do that...I'm more amazed that a group of people who look like they would rather play classical music decided to grab GBA's and do that

Uhh, what are you talking about? You know that's a game right? It's called Band Brothers (I think the US name is Jam With The Band). And the DS is region free, so you can import it and it will work fine on a US DS. No US release date has been set, and it will almost definately include different songs, so the chance of Melissa and Ready Steady Go being on there are pretty low. I've played it, and its awesome. If anyone wants any details, just ask

Somehow I think Im gonna be repeating myself a few times. But oh well, no big. The game is called Band Brothers, and it will be called Jam With The Band when it comes out in the US. No US release date has been set, and the song list (including Melissa and Ready Steady Go) probably wont be the same. If you want more details on how the game works, just ask

Of course i know what I am talking about. I bought the Japanese version of the game and play Melissa literally every other day

Just that rumours did say most of the Japanese songs will be taken out, also, seeing that FMA dub does not play Melissa on TV (DVD version kept it tho) so I don't think US version of it will have Melissa.
Whatever, I got the Jpn version and I am all good ^-^
