live review, video clips, BORIS, anime

Hey, everyone.
What a great year for COTD FANs.
I will not be posting everything I see about the tour because that's very time-consuming...
Overall, it seems like everyone is having a great time with THE VISITORS TEAM.
Wish I was there!

Special thanks to Komdehagens for making a live review podcast (in English).
I've been requesting live reviews from many fans, but they have declined... So thank you Komdehagens for taking the time to make one!!!!!

Electronic Gaming Monthly September 1999

NARASAKI has a couple of photos promoting the Dreamcast in Electronic Gaming Monthly (September 1999)!
He was not credited.
Not exactly sure if the guy on the left is KANNO, but I don't think so...?

Special thanks to NarooN for letting us know about it.
