i'm only logging this now because i can't believe i haven't said SOMETHING about it before. there is a very good reason this game has dominated japanese app stores for the past 9 years, and once you start to get just a little bit good at it you start to understand that too. i love it so much i bought 2 games in japan that i cannot translate for my 3ds because i wanted more. its fucking awesome (<- he who loves this game too much to form coherent thoughts)
