JAST USA Press Release: JAST Densetsu Releases Adult PC Game "My Girlfriend is the President"

JAST USA, the leading publisher of adult Japanese games in English, is announcing that My Girlfriend is the President, the latest “bishoujo game” collaboration between JAST USA brand JAST Densetsu and Japanese game developer Alcot, has finished printing and will ship to customers this week.


My Girlfriend is the President is a multi-scenario love simulation game full of cute girls, hilarious parody, and touching romance. Players step into the shoes of Junichiro Honda, who wakes up one day to find that the world has been transformed by aliens into a bishoujo paradise where cuteness is the ultimate authority. His childhood friend Yukino Ohama has become President of the United States of Nippon, and whatever she says goes! Junichiro has to find a way to set the world right before the madness goes too far.

Joining US President Ohama are Russian President Irina Putina, Chief of Staff Ran Miyoshi, and a mysterious girl called Ell who just happens to be an alien starship in human form. Through their choices, players will be able to decide which of these cute and quirky heroines Junichiro ends up with.


JAST USA president Peter Payne said, "From the moment we saw the YouTube trailer for the game, with the corny English dubbed overlay, we knew that this was a game our customers had to play. It's a game that parodies just about everything imaginable, from world politics to its own 'moe' sub-genres. And who wouldn't want to romance cute female versions of the world's most powerful leaders?"

The official President site, located at http://www.jastusa.com/president, contains character profiles, sample images, and more.

My Girlfriend is the President is suitable for adults 18 years and older, and is available for purchase now at the JAST USA website as well as other fine anime retailers.

About JAST USA

Ever since the first computers with color displays, Japan has had a strong culture of "love simulation" computer games, which simulate emotional interaction between the player and various game characters when the player "wins" the love of a given character. PC love-sim games are also called visual novels, eroge, and sometimes "hentai" games by U.S. fans. JAST USA has been involved in licensing and translating Japanese dating-sim games since 1998, and is the leading producer and distributor of translated adult Japanese games in any form.

Game titles are available to retail customers via http://www.jastusa.com or for wholesale customers at http://www.pcrdist.com/.

Where have I been?

Holy crap, it has been weeks that I've had the chance to write an actual blog post that it not involving the new figure preorders, picture galleries, and O-Talk. I have been working so damn hard as a photographer in the last month that blogging and other things have taken the backseat.


For the past few months, I have been working on a post documenting my personal experience as a professional photographer. Every single time that I complete it, something new happens and I have to start from scratch. I hope to complete that post soon because I would like to share it with all my readers.

I know it has been a month with no new O-Talk and that's because of two reasons, we wanted a short break and the new site that is hosting O-Talk. Everyone that is on O-Talk has their own life and is not able to be participating in almost every episode. Just so we wont burn out, we took a short break. During that break, O-Talk has changed new podcast hosts. We originally hosted the show on Blip TV but they decided to drop their audio format, so I had to look somewhere else. I found liberated syndication and started to use them as the new host. Personally, I enjoy their services but it sucks that I have to pay a month fee. One more thing, I have been thinking of dedicating a website to O-Talk.


For a long time, I have been slowly saving for a new DSLR and that has not been a success. It is normally due to bills and nice expensive things that cost quite a bit. I have been putting it off to get it later but my current camera has been failing lately. I pretty much have no choice but to buy one as soon as possible as an investment. I also would like to start working on a few personally photography projects that I have thought about many years ago.

Hopefully, my daily schedule goes back to normal soon so I can get back to blogging on a regular basis.
