Looking to add a few divas to your Tomodachi Life island? You've come to the right place...

Is it any surprise that my Tomodachi Life island is well-stocked with divas? I sure hope not.

Anyway, I can't imagine I'm the only gay (or otherwise) gamer playing this quirky 3DS life sim who likes his "pop stars," so I thought I'd share QR codes for a few of the ones that currently are traipsing around Rainbow Island. (Yes, that's the rather unimaginative name I came up with for my Tomodachi Life hub. What can I say? It wasn't my most creative moment.)

For starters, here's Bjork:

I can't take credit for her design, by the way, as I came up with it after finding an interesting looking one via Google and tweaking it a bit.

I also can't take credit for the amazing Cher design found below.

An Internet acquaintance, Adrian, came up with the following Grace Jones design, I believe:

I did create the design seen below, though, which is of Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada.

I also made this Madonna design:

Finally, here's a QR code for my own Mii design (yep, I'm a diva, too), should any of you want to add me to your isle.

Are you playing Tomodachi Life, too? If so, please feel free to share the QR code for your Mii in the comments section below.

I'm having way too much fun taking screenshots while playing Tomodachi Life

Would you believe me if I told you I've snapped more screenshots while playing Tomodachi Life than I have while playing any other 3DS title?

Well, it's true. Or at least I think it is.

As for why that is, the only worthwhile response is that this portable "life sim" throws players into so many weird, wacky and funny situations that you can't help but try to capture them in a snapshot.

Cases in point: the following photos of the babies that have been born to Rainbow Island's residents thus far.

The above portrait is of one of my Internet pals, Hayden Scott-Baron (aka docky), his wife, Cher, and their newborn girl, Chloe.

The shot above is of Nikki (of Swapnote fame), her husband, Bill Trinen, and their baby girl, the controversially named Genesis.

And here (above) we see Link keeping a watchful eye on his (and wife Zelda's) adorable baby boy.

Sadly, "adorable" isn't the first word I'd use to describe the first child--a girl, Claire--born to me and Ganondorf.

Both of us are hoping she'll eventually grow into her face. And learn to smile once in a while. Anyway, she's now traveling the world--or waiting to travel the world, at least.

Rainbow Island's kids aren't the only things worth capturing in photographs. Other photo-worthy sights include the tropical locale's many fights--with the one above being between former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi and Metroid's Samus Aran.

I'm a bad, bad Hikaru Utada fan

I know this isn't completely game-related, but most westerners know of Japanese singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada because of the tunes she contributed to Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II--"Simple and Clean" (aka "Hikari") and "Sanctuary" (aka "Passion"), respectively--so I also wouldn't say it's not at all game-related.

Anyway, the reason I'm a bad, bad Utada (as she's heretofore been known outside of Japan) fan is that I didn't realize until a few days ago that she released a new single, "Sakura Nagashi," which serves as the theme song for Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, in late November.



Unfortunately, only a snippet of the Naomi Kawase-directed video for "Sakura Nagashi" can be found on Utada's official YouTube channel (and above) at the moment, although the entire song can be downloaded from iTunes. (Also, its officially translated lyrics can be found here.)

Yet another reason to love Hikaru Utada

While perusing Twitter yesterday, I was surprised to come across the following tweet from Japanese singer/songwriter/producer Hikaru Utada:

"I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day :) I spent the whole day playing Furai No Shiren 5 on my Nintendo DSi."

So, not only is Hikki cute, smart and amazing talented (click for proof), but she likes to play roguelikes? Sigh.
