I totally agree Chad, I noticed this as well, Aurora looks like will be arriving in other Home regions very soon.

For those who read my last post, here's the rewards I was talking about "Starfish Wall Art" "Sky Fishing Seat"
We all happened to see the free apartment notice weeks ago, but the question is: WHEN do we all get the free apartment, and WHEN does this mean will we have JP PSN Store opened up?
It seems to be just participation of any of the concert, but I'm not 100% on it until it can be confirmed. It does state that there is no reward for going to all of the events.
Don't take my word on this, but from reading the tweets from the former employee of Irem, it seems that Irem will not be putting strength in it's gaming division. A few days ago, there was a general annual meeting for stock holders for Nanao, the parent company of Irem, and he attended that session. (Nanao is a PC/TV/industrial display maker) He tweeted the basic details stating that they are going for efficiency and focusing more on it's displays (and probably the pachinko business). He also stated that due to the current condition of the gaming industry, it is understandable as a business to less focus on it, but can't satisfy on how the company is going, so they decided to make Granzella. On the other hand, Granzella is taking the spot where Irem left off. Most probably they won't be able to use the IPs from Irem, but they seem to be thinking alot of things for the coming future.
Thanks for the info Faga… Just another reason why I don't really expect to ever see any additional Irem updates in Home (or likely anywhere else)… What I personally hope for is very different from the current state of the gaming industry, not to mention Home.
Since Irem as a company will stay, I believe they will continue support for home, but without any new content since most of the team responsible probably moved to Granzella. Irem does seem to still have programmers for their Pachinko games (the real ones), so there is a chance that they could release another Pachipara, but I don't know.
Here u can see the webpages of granzella. Granzella Homepagethey stated there that they are prepping 2 new lounges for jp-home.
I have Spelunker: Black and wanted to get the rewards from there. Will I have any trouble getting those rewards? I heard from FF's post about the yellow fans being blocked in the Irem Square.
Yep, I would assume so because the Macross Frontier concert space still there and the floating heart icon is there to use for redeeming your episode stamp for the VF-25.
I'm very certain that Japan will be opening their stores on the PS3s sometime in July. Seems the way they announced Macross Frontier opening up their Live Concert and the upcoming Aurora space and apartment could be clues that they're almost ready. I'm also certain the 100 free items will be up soon too.
