| My Wish List & Pre-orders!

| Overseas Otaku Buying Tips
Making online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been the best option for me (and many otakus who do not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list, preorders and purchases from these reputable online companies. Your purchase via these links supports this site :)

 • YesAsia (Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
 • J-list (many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
 • HobbySearch (Comprehensive inventory
     but no free shipping and no shipping cost
     provided upon placing an order )
 • HLJ (very good alternative to HobbySearch)
 • E2046 (many figures & rules in resin kit)
 • Play-Asia (My #1 online shop)

avatar Kojima Teaser Reveals RAIDEN and MASK

As shown on previous Famitsu reports, we now have the expected appearance of presumed character RAIDEN breaking the storm at Kojima's teaser site countdown. Joystick reported that RAIDEN began to appear some time in the 90 hour mark. Additionally, we get letter "C" and two more numbers flashing in the mix, "6" and "0" (or letter O). Initial speculation of the new numbers form "360" as in "XBOX 360". As of now we have 5 (S), @ (e), E, 3, P, R, C, 6 and 0 (O).

METAL GEAR SOLID 5, RAIDEN?
Above: RAIDEN flashes on Kojima's teaser site now!


At Kojima's teaser site, you will also notice significant changes to the weather as the wind blows very strong (but the grass aren't moving?) and lightning becomes more frequent.

Kojima's Teaser Site, Weather is Getting Worse

Surprisingly, a closer look at the bottom KOJIMA PRODUCTION icon sees alternating image of a mask which hyperlinks to an entirely different teaser site entitled "KOJIMA PRODUCTION MASK". For your first visit there, you shall be prompted to enter your birthday before the following mask is revealed.

Kojima Production "MASK"

I have input an age of 21+ birthdate but was in no luck to encounter the morphing mask as reported by Kotaku. It will morph and decay into an eerie "Silent Hill"-like mask (obviously with the intention to arouse fear) and eventually disappear. As this point, whether or not the "MASK" has any connection with Kojima's "NEXT" or is a seperate production is still unknown but I would say that the odds are leaning towards the latter.

Update 2009-06-01: Kojima's countdown site is now Sunny!

@ Jus a loser,
I'd say most likely a "yes" too. Xbox 360 is still very popular in the west but not in Kojima's territory though.
Yup, judging from RAIDEN's eye patch and his somewhat new exoskeleton, part of the story might be post MGS4. The new METAL GEAR SOLID might not be named MGS5 but rather a MGS4's "Subsistence".

Actually thats not raiden, thats grey fox. His eyes are red, only grey fox had red eyes, raiden had blue. Plus the exo-skeleton looks like it closes on his face like it does for grey fox. Finally big boss has the outer heaven logo on his beret.

This looks like an announcement for a ps3 remake of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, to me.

@ Metal Gear Hot,
Aah, thanks for the heads up. But it does seem weird that grey fox has the same damage on his lower jaw like Raiden?
One more day to go before the truth is revealed...
