Shoko Nakgawa Now Owns A PS3
Very important update! Last we heard, Xbox 360 owner, popstar and nerd hero Shoko Nakagawa was thinking about buying a PS3. She didn’t.
But her buddies did! Hipster musician Meg Rock and transgender fashion model Ayana Tsubaki bought a surprised Shokotan a “Cloud Black” PS3 bundle.
Those two surprised me!! …They secretly got me a present… Waaaaaaaahaaahaaaaa It’s so expensive, I shrieked!! …Those two are really busy, but they were able to find time to decide to get me… a surprise present!!
Shoko Nakagawa turned 24 on May 5. Her getting the Cloud Black PS3 makes sense as she’s a huge FFVII fan. When asked previously who she wanted to marry, her reply was “Sephiroth”.
As of February 2008, Japanese daily newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported that her blog, which opened in 2004, had been accessed one billion times. The blog queen holds the record for single-day-updates on a celebrity blog with 70 updates alone on January 28, 2006. A book version of her blog called Shokotan * Blog was released in 2005. Lesson learned: Blog about things you want so your famous friends can buy them for you.
We’re thinking about getting a pony. Our birthday is coming up, but maybe we can save up enough money to buy a pony by then. Ponies are so expensive.
Too subtle? Now all we need are famous friends.

That's one hell of a birthday gift. My birthday is less than a month away and I'd be satisfied if I could just get one of my not famous friends to buy my broke ass a cup of coffee...

what's up with this cat girl?
@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...:
lol this had me wondering too
Desu desu desu desu desu
"transgender fashion model Ayana Tsubaki"
Japan, confusing male hormones since the Samurai era...
sephiroth?? she wanted to marry sephiroth??? wat a b****.
aren't I good enough? I can kill sephiroth as simple as switching off PS1 :P
squall3031
@LllusionX now has Valkyria Chronicles, bringing sales count...: No he wouldn't. She's not pure enough. She'd probably just die in a fire.
@-MasterDex-:
As proven by those marrying serial rapists/killers in jail and do go for Conjugal visits ;).

@latiosking: can't decide 360 or PS3: I like how you clarified. It's as if you thought someone might mistake the "2 systems" for various cat rectums.
spannu
@Superlocke: Oooooooooooh yes he is!
@-MasterDex-: There's a lot more hentai, I can assure you of that.
@FarmboyinJapan: ... and she still didn't have enough, apparently.
btw, THIS.
@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: lol, that name sounds not asian, but australian.
@alecpyron: Essentially. It's like if Oprah started playing PS3(more), but one a smaller scale.
@-MasterDex-: Ever wonder where Guro came from?
Lol, sephiroth would impale her through her back from a height.
@ithyphallus: As far as I'm aware, 2chan isn't half a newspaper.
spannu
@Pious_Augustus:
Weirdo.
@SsLordMagus: You know how women are: always going for the bad boys.
-MasterDex-
@latiosking: can't decide 360 or PS3:
I was in exactly the same position a year ago, and finally came down on the side of the PS3. Ludicrous as it sounds, it was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made! They're both superb bits of kit.
Know this: whichever HD console you go for, you're going to have a hell of a lot of fun with it :)

So she wanted to marry Sephiroth? I dont know...I don't trust that guy, i would be too afraid to get stab in the back if...

@-MasterDex-:
I'm very very close to after looking over the 2 systems
(360 and PS3)
latiosking: can't decide 360 or PS3
@chaseus: As far as I'm aware, 2chan isn't half as bad as it's western counterpart.

I'm sorry...I recently discovered LFG this weekend and am now caught up to the current issue...and the first thing that came to mind at the end of this article was:
FOR PONY!
@Brian Ashcraft:
My man, I'm flattered that you took me into consideration
FarmboyinJapan
So how did you learn about this development, Mr. Ashcraft? You're reading her blog everyday aren't you? That must be hard to explain to the Mrs with pictures like THAT on your screen.
*quietly adds Shoko-tan's blog to Google Reader*
@TaylorEatWorld: Ouch. Farewell, buddy.
@-MasterDex-: Oh God, thanks for reminding me. Now I am stuck with it too.
Btw, do it
@DAS: kawaiikawaiinekochandesu
@Pious_Augustus: Where did you get the homosexuals?
@Andsy: ....for?
@Alex_Mexico: Pretty much.
Enlighten me. What does the PS3 Cloud Black consists of?
160GB PS3
FFVII ACC on Blu Ray
and FFXIII demo.
Correct?
@-MasterDex-: lol, I was wondering if that was the same girl...
"C'mon guys! Let's go Eat Out Cat, later!"
@FarmboyinJapan: This post is for you, Farmboy!
@-MasterDex-:
She did WHAT?
PS3 officially won Japan now!
@Pious_Augustus: Not that it really matters at this point.... but... Obama is not some sort of keeper of souls.
Superlocke
You sure know how to draw one's attention, Bash.
Haha, this kind of sexy pictures can ONLY come from Japan.
And I love every pixel of it.
@ithyphallus:
agh! If the internet had to have a sewer it probably be 4chan.
Hey She's a Year Younger than me.... .... Not sure how that makes me feel exactly...
PaxtonAstypalaea
Oh Thank GOD!!!
I was on the edge of my seat as to whether or not a celebrity who appears in film / is on TV / regularly releases CDs / appears in countless advertisements / does bikini modeling could scrape together enough money to buy a PS3....

RAWR *scratch scratch*

She's quite a strange girl. I still haven't been able to erase that pic of her eating out her cat's ass from my mind. I'm scarred for life and I blame you Kotaku!
On another note, I'm planning on getting a PS3 myself this year.
-MasterDex-
Quite the bit of fur down there...
@Pious_Augustus: WTF?!
-MasterDex-
what's her psn id :P?
DAS
@ithyphallus: Fortunatelly, yes.
How is this not the most important news story of the day? Anything she does and ever will do is simply awesome.
Don't listen to them, Shoko, they are just blinded by your genius.

@Pious_Augustus: 0/10
PATSCRU
@Pious_Augustus: o_o
You're scaring me ;_;
@TaylorEatWorld:
OMFG BANED!
She's dressed like a cat, which you can pronounce "kat", and she's an Otaku, so she's a Kat Otaku, or Kotaku.
Geddit? There's nothing wrong with the writers!
REPENT YOUR SINS!
this acutally makes japanese newspapers like 2chan?
ithyphallus
@TaylorEatWorld:
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ILL OF THE GAY! A THOUSAND QUEER NERDS DECEND ON YOU! Even though you state like how you feel, you cannot judge or second guess someone of color or gay meaning we must look up all information about you and ruin your life like Miss Califronia! May the God-President Barrack Obama watch over your soul!
Pious_Augustus
@TaylorEatWorld: *sigh*
Kotaky, that'll get me banned right there :[
I know this is grounds for banhammer, but I sincerely mean this without offense to any of the great Kotaky writers, but...
SO!?
Yay!!! I'm so excited!!!!111
@Superlocke:
Yes HE IS, he is not just the prezz he is God-President...
Chosen by the moon god all mighty to rule us all wherever we are on this planet...

Never a fan of Shoko-tan, but she brings the page views and gawker media is all about the page views. I just wish I never saw those cat pictures.
Ryfael
It has to be said, who cares about someone practicaly nobody on this site knows owning a PS3? Not to mention this girl is quite average. Like these flash-in-the-pan Japanese celebrities aren't a dime a dozen. They're almost shorter-lived than some of the nobody stars in Hollywood. Might as well be posting about Becky down the street buying a PS3.
Is Kotaku really lacking in content or are people simply pandering to Ashcraft's fetishes. That's a story I'd like to see posted.

Hey, I agree with you~
@LllusionX now has Valkyria Chronicles, bringing sales count...: ¬_¬
EEEEEEEEEEEW COSPLAY!
Well... at least there's Ueda Kana "Rin" and her Halo 3 loving we can go back to.
Tye-The-Czar
WTF is that picture....
@undefined: ahahahah! gimme more of that kind of articles! comments are great too! :D

@PaxtonAstypalaea: You too could be devouring cats, right now!

damnit she is so beautiful, why was I born in the US WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

360 is officially dead now in japan. The japanese goddess has moved on.

I'll get a PS3 in like 2025 when the Final Fantasy VII remake comes out. Until then I have you Shoko -_-
@Alex_Mexico: And a laser etching
@ShadowOdin finally got a copy of Suikoden III. Is upset wit...: I've never read her blog, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common comment on it.
@Clave: And thus Clave was never seen again, for on entering Japan he was mistaken for a Cat and promptly devoured.
PaxtonAstypalaea
@PaxtonAstypalaea: Hey, she's a year and 6 days younger than me..... i'm pretty sure how that makes me feel. Need to travel to Japan ASAP!!!!
@-MasterDex-:
I caved and ended up getting one too. Now I have a Wii, X360 and PS3. I'm semi tempted to get a PSP.
I kinda wish the PS3 had a PSP emulator, would be awesome. ( I actually would pay money for that too.)
I have an urge to gift a pony to someone...
@LllusionX now has Valkyria Chronicles, bringing sales count...:
If Oprah ever took a picture like that I would shoot both of my eyes out...
Reavyn29
@SG79: If she was 8 it would have been creepy. She's in her early 20s and it's still creepy.

@MaWeiTao: Hey man, Becky's hot. Don't knock Becky.
dd528
@ihaveabu:
It would appear to be a young woman with elaborately manicured nails, half dressed as a multicolour cat, half not dressed at all, bound to herself with plastic chains, crouching on a counter, next to significant quantities of hard liquor, drinking milk straight from a glass bottle.
I think you just have to accept that this is what humanity has come to and move on with your life.
dd528
When asked previously who she wanted to marry, her reply was "Sephiroth".
If she was 8, it would've been cute but since she's in her early 20's, it's beyond stupid.
Kitty needs her diaper changed..
Dude...she is part of a mind boggling microcosm of crazy. Looking into each of her "friends" makes my head hurt. It's not that I don't recognize there are nut jobs out there...
it's just for them to get together OUTSIDE of designated centers for correction of disorders makes me feel mirror universes have opened up.
I'm gonna go watch Garbage Pail Kids for some insight.

@BritBloke916:
When you wrote "I was in exactly the same position" I was about to ask "What? With a cat's ass in your mouth?"
But then I read the rest...
Bokusatsu_Tenshi
Waitin for a picture of her gnawing on a PS3.
@LllusionX now has Valkyria Chronicles, bringing sales count...: Which definitely makes it better than a newspaper.
I believe that Shoko will one day lead an otaku suicide cult that will be both tragic and, strangely enough, hilarious to watch.
Bouchart
I agree with the first comment. No offense Kotaku, but when did u come down with a case of "who gives a fuc&"?
I guess i just dont get it.
this is too furry for my liking
OMFGLOL
she is so cute! XD
@Pious_Augustus: just wait bro, things are going to get a lot worse. people are confused when they hear the term "liberal". they think it means more freedom when in turn, it does not.
liberals want you to be dependent on the government so that they can remain in power. at the same time, say goodbye to freedom of speech and some of your other "rights"
you cant make fun or negative comments about anyone anymore. what a sad world we live in.
i'd take another george bush as president over nancy pelosi's liberal agenda puppet (obama) any day.
i stared so long at the reflection in the bar that i registered on this site to tell u guys im seeing horrible things.
