Welcome

    Media Junky is an online Trading Card Game based on Japanese rock bands. The main focus of this TCG is on Japanese rock bands from the '80s to present groups. There may be bands from the '70s to be added at a later date if I can find good quality images.

Forum & Site-related Update

Sorry for not updating yesterday. I was working on Rockaria so I can have it open by the end of the week and a screencap site. I'm currently replying to the forums and emails. If I don't get to everything on the forums, I'll get to it after my accounting class. I have replied to everything in my inbox and on the forums. If I have not messaged you back, especially if you donated something via email, please email me. I sometimes think I sent the email out when I haven't. Deck Suggestions I'm just going to answer some questions I have received. Can I request so-and-so? I don't know if they fit the TCG's theme. I'm not going to be real picky on what artists will be added to TCG as long as it makes somewhat sense. Like it wouldn't make any sense to make a Ayumi Hamasaki or KAT-TUN deck since, well, they are the text book examples of idol pop/Jpop. However, I will allow idol rock groups since they do have rock elements in their music. If I'm not familiar with an artist, I will check out them out and determine whether or not if they are "rock" enough. I usually allow most artists through. Also, I will only take artist suggestions that are from Japan to the TCG. The only band that would be allow to the TCG that isn't from Japan would be Cats in Boots, since half of the band was from Japan and one of the members was in Seikima II. Can I request [insert indie visual kei band here]? They're really popular and been around for a while. I am going to assume this refers to the "The band must be around for a year or more. If the band is disbanded, they have to have been together for at least two years." rule I have in the donation section. Like I have said in the donation information thread, this is to prevent of having tons of decks featuring visual kei bands that only been together for a year, somehow gets really popular, and then disband. The only way to get around this rule is if the band featured well-known musicians. Oh, I noticed that the hard rock band, Vow Wow, was requested for a future deck. If I cannot find enough pictures (aka me bugging one of my friends to scans some) of Vow Wow, I'm going to merge the Vow Wow deck with the Bow Wow deck. That due to Vow Wow being the same, but yet different, band as Bow Wow. (It's one of those confusing things that the Japanese HR/HM scene have going for it.)

Idol Rock and more

New Affiliates: Mastery: Nanarokku mastered 12012. New Badge Sets: Alice Nine set by Momo, Kiyoharu set by Jennifer New Decks: Yes, I added two more Idol Rock decks. (If you aren't familiar with the Idol Rock genre, the two decks are the ones for Otokogumi and Tokio.) I also made a Voodoo Hawaiians deck, which is a post-Princess Princess band. (Princess Princess was the biggest female idol rock group.) Everything else is just the usual -a few old acts, some visual bands, and some mainstream groups. I'm starting to get low on suggested artists. I only have five artists remaining on the list (Fanatic Crisis, Sincrea, Vistlip, Figure, and Deadman). So start suggesting more artists, please. (You can also suggest musicians that aren't solo artists, too...) Freebies: Take five cards, limit one card per deck. Jennifer may take an extra card from the Sophia and Kiyoharu decks. Set B and Weekly games have been updated. [Edit] If you have any of the following cards: loudness01, loudness02, loudness03, or loudness04; please replace them with the new versions below. The deck was revamp due to a new photoshoot was released with the new drummer, Masayuki Suzuki. I might revamp a few more cards of the deck if I can find a good photo of the Mike Vescera-era or the Masaki Yamada-Hirotsugu Homma-Naoto Shibata line-up.
