    I've also heard about Irem closing, really sad news since it was one of my favourite designers in Japan Home.

    Anyway, i havent heard about removing of spaces and items. But i just hope we can still use the items we already bought unless i'll turn mad (and i wont be alone).
    I bought soooo many of their items over one year, would be terrible if we cant keep them.

    These are translations of the links Faga4567 provided. Not the best translations, but they're usable. I tried to post the original Japanese texts, but the website software is turning them into mojibake.

    Hopefully we will still have the items. This is horrible news since they had some wonderful items in JP that never made it to the us or eu.

    While we're all sad about the soon closing of Irem, Granzella's growing up

    Just had a look on Granzella's facebook and found a link they've posted about future deployement in PS Home

    >>> have a look here seems a new public space dedicated to Edo Era is coming soon

    Interesting move... They also announced releasing a Pachipara game for the 3DS. What are they thinking?

    Hmmm, Locust Star says they will provide an update. Will that be before or after they say what happened to the EA poker room. I hope we get an explanation, but seeing how things have been done on the playstation forums, I HIGHLY doubt it.

    Wow, this is terrible news :(
    The irem spaces have been a highlight for me since I started using a JP account, so I'll be sad to see them leave.

    I'm sure content you have payed for will be fine. But it will be a shame to see the spaces go. In with DD on having a event before they go.

    This is crushing news. I can't believe I'm waking up to this. Just amazing. IREM is such a big part of Japan. You'd think that at the least the content already released would be staying. This for Japan with the many many spaces it has – we only have three – will be a very big blow.

    I don't even want to think about it. It's spoiled my day to say the least.

    Granzella will need to get some spaces out fast because Irem going will make a big hole in Japan Home when it comes to public spaces.

    -_____- that's a bummer, I really loved Irem think they made great home content and their spaces where beautiful and fun to be in.

    I'd love to do one final stroll through Irem before it goes

    Good morning, Joanna. *takes a sip of coffee*

    I'd like to point out that most of Irem's really popular spaces were developed by Kujo. Perhaps he and Irem can come to an understanding? We can always hope.
