Catalogue No. - 610-6732

I miss you is quite an unusual title. What we have here is a music magazine published by Compile that comes complete with a Sega Saturn game disc. Well, I say game disc but it's actually more of a promotion disc. When you pop the disc in to your Saturn you get a quick FMV intro followed by the title screen. From here you enter a 3D virtual studio which looks pretty decent I guess apart from the guy at the mixing desk.

There's not much you can do in the studio apart from click on a few items and watch the results such as clicking on the Puyo Puyo to see more Puyo Puyo's fly out of it. There are two games hidden within the studio, a bash the mole type game and a card matching game that uses sounds rather than pictures. Upon completing the games you are given a password which you could send off to Compile to win some goodies.

Now being a disc that comes with a music magazine you'd expect it to feature music, right? Well, it does feature a karaoke section, music video, song without the music video plus a remix but the problem is that they are all the same song ! Yes, the only song featured is the title track to the magazine, I miss you. It's not too bad to be honest but I would have liked a bit more variety.

The magazine isn't too bad. Pretty well written and quite informative but of course all in Japanese. There's even a nice section on 80s pop that features nothing but British groups such as Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Culture Club, The Human League and others. Quite a nice surprise to see such groups in a Japanese magazine.

Overall I miss you is probably not worth buying unless you're a collector or a big fan of Japanese music magazines. As far as I know this was the only issue ever published as well. Maybe sales weren't that good or it was just a one off project? You can see the disc in action by clicking the link near the top of this page.
