Track: More Than a Feeling (Live) | Artist: Boston | Album: Boston Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
This is Senri Kawaguchi. She’s 18 and has been called one of the best drummers in Japan, if not the world. Here, she’s showing her support for Japan’s national team by drumming in the new Samurai Blue uniform. If you’re not familiar with Kawaguchi’s drumming (you should be!), check out the clips below—some of which…
A Pokémon Gym is opening this month in Osaka. We’ve already gotten a peek inside, and it looked okay! Now, we’re going to get a better look, and it sure seems terrific.

Well, this is a thing, it seems. As IT Media points out, Italian musician Paolo Tuci has released a new Sailor Moon-themed song called “Sailor Moon e il Cristallo Del Cuore.” You can see the video below. The track is available on iTunes, and it looks like there’s even a physical CD release. Previous Tuci…
If you are strolling through Terminal 3, you might notice something. A giant rebel fighter. You can do more than just look at this replica.

Do you have a video game that needs promoting? Well, Conan O’Brien is your man. He’s quite good. The best, even. Conan’s late night talk show has a segment called “Clueless Gamer.” In it, he checks out new titles and cracks jokes. The segment is popular, racking up millions of views on YouTube and bringing…
Who cares if the result is even more embarrassing. Not this guy! Over on Japanese comedy site Omocoro, a fellow who goes by “Mansooon” said that he found selfie sticks embarrassing because when you use them, other people know you are using a selfie stick. Then, there’s the fact that some hate folks who use…
Of course! Even though the game came out three days ago, there’s already a nude mod for Fallout 4. Make that, nude mods. Plural. This shouldn’t be surprising. The current mod is only for women, likewise, not really a surprise, but perhaps somebody is working on floppy dick physics for the inevitable naked dude mod?…
Sometimes things don’t hit you until later. Much later. Former Nintendo President Satoru Iwata died this summer. Even as Kotaku reported the news and even as the video game community paid its respects, Iwata’s passing still felt rather abstract. We had known for a while that he was dealing with health issues, but it all…
Kotaku already showed you a rogues gallery of Fallout freaks. Now, let’s take a look at the best character creations of the famous and the infamous.

Not only do the bags say “Handsome Man” or “Cool Guy” chips, they also come with dreamboat trading cards. [Photo:oyatsujapan] Here’s another look at the bag. [Photo: oyatsu-daisuki] The chips. Yep, they look like potato chips. But this is not your regular bag of chips! [Photo: oyatsu-daisuki] Each comes with a trading card, featuring working…

All the smartphone games DeNA says it’s currently creating with Nintendo will be free to download, reports the Wall Street Journal. Know what that sounds like? Micro-transactions, that’s what it sounds like. Don’t expect all Nintendo smartphone games to be free downloads, however.

While the world should start bracing itself for a nasty Star Wars: The Force Awakens hangover, it isn’t. Korean pop fans, included. As tipster Sang points out, boy band Exo teamed up with Walt Disney Korea for this songvertisement “Lightsaber.” The video seems kind of low budget, and there’s a side-helping of cringe, but Exo…

The character creation system in Fallout 4 sure is robust. There are seemingly endless options. But there’s one thing it’s especially good at: making unsightly characters. No wonder some players are trying to make the most repugnant characters imaginable. So far, the rogues gallery is impressively hideous. Of course, you can make beautiful characters, too,…
