I love the anime blogs that take 800 shots of a figure and do a little review on them.
Alas, I cannot because my figures are pitiful, I just buy the anime media, not the props so much.

the question is, which games should be reviewed. stuff like idolmaster and vocaloid project diva are a given but aside from obvious games, which ones would people be interested in knowing more about.
its a must to review more on japanese gaming culture!

As I said, there is much scope for specialism. People will not perform well writing if they do not enjoy the business of doing so.You can already see that Quen tends towards figures and anime, and Raiken does a lot of Japan related writing. Of course, specialising is only possible with a rounded selection of contributors, as we are trying to provide something for everyone.
Having people with distinct areas of expertise and time to spend on them also opens up the possibility of longer and more detailed articles (for example game reviews).
Any specifics?
You say you want a game reviewer but do you have anything else in mind?
If you don't mind me saying, I haven't seen much by way of Quen and Raiken since a couple of weeks ago.
Vacation?

What do you mean? I suspect such a contributor would be most interested in other writing and so on too?

Do you think so? They both disappeared without a word and I haven't seen hide nor hair of them since. Or perhaps something is afoot?
Quen in IRC mentioned that he's sick... but it's been weeks ago, maybe he got more ill and is recovering by now...

I hope it's only that.
I would assume if Quen was sick and told the IRC channel, he would at least tell Artefact.
I saw him mention that on IRC, but didn't hear anything else... I certainly hope he's alright, but it would have to be quite an illness...
I'd be glad to moderate some of the comments (I've got a quick wit and a long fuse), but I don't really think I have anything too terribly exciting to contribute.
If you can handle sources in Japanese it's not too much of a problem. Otherwise, it does take some digging...
artfact> if you by any mean want someone to contribute but worry about the context which might not meet your requirement, i suggest you make a member post area just like danny choo did.
the fact we all here is because we interested in your post context.
telling them to post like you would be hard considering i could see how much time and effort you pour into this site.
Beside, they are here because majority can`t read japanese well. If by any means they can do that i think they already reading some japanese site itself dy.
a merely a suggestion...
you could either add a option to let people pm/mail you
1.about news they would like to share with you to post
2.suggest people put the news to forum so that you can decide either to post it or not.
3.they found some japanese site that have nice illustration/seems interesting but cannot read/navigate the site well, they can pm you the link so you can save time digging some interesting news to post.
Let's not model our site after his, please...
Posting new to the forums is working so far, and it generates discussion here as well.
This site (speaking of the news side of things) is about providing quality, reliable content. If just anyone could provide this, there would be a lot more popular sites of all types.
As usual, the Pareto principle applies to the provision of content - I cannot be alone in having noticed that the quality of "Member News", or indeed user generated content of all kinds (see YouTube), is in general very low, with a small minority providing 80% of the popular content.
For the more unregulated content, or tips, etc, there are these forums.

I totally agree, forums are a good place to share stuff and discuss, we don't need anything more.
Besides, it need as much as content as it can get right now.
