Chanel Reaches for the Stars With Its High Jewelry Event in Kyoto
As with all Chanel High Jewelry collections, the basis for Reach For The Stars stems from the life of Chanel herself. This time her quote: 'If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing,' provided the impetus for the collection. The pieces are statement-making and intended for red carpet moments—an extension of Chanel's first and only high jewelry collection in 1932. 'Maybe it's a more classic theme in a way, but at the same time it's a very bold and sophisticated approach to the glamorous style of Chanel,' said Dorothée Saintville, the brand's International Product Marketing Director of Watches and Fine Jewelry.

Saintville stepped in to join President of Watches and Fine Jewelry Frederic Grangié to shepherd this collection to fruition and continue to drive the creative vision and expansion of Chanel High Jewelry. The stone's intense, warm pink tone with hints of orange and yellow embodies Leguéreau's intention to capture the sensation of golden hour, explained Saintville.

'When Patrice thought about this collection he said: 'I imagine pieces kissed by the light of the sun at sunrise or sunset.' ' Imagination, romance, and modernism mark this new collection and the inclusion of wings expands its lexicon. 'There is no rule [of the introduction of new symbols],' added Saintville, 'it's part of the endless reinterpretation of our DNA.'

Nintendo Switch 2 launches in Tokyo drawing hours-long lines
Eager customers lined up outside electronics stores in Tokyo hours in advance to collect their preordered Nintendo Switch 2 video game consoles. The much anticipated Switch 2, being released around the world Thursday, is an upgrade to its eight-year-old predecessor with new social features meant to draw players into online gaming. Nintendo is counting on the Switch 2 to boost sagging sales. In the U.S., a chaotic preorder process in April left some fans frustrated after the consoles quickly sold out. In Japan, the new consoles were sold through a competitive lottery system that Nintendo said got about 2.2 million applications. Outside the official draw, some retailers offered their own lotteries to preorder the devices. Koji Takahashi was among those who missed out on the official draw but he was selected in the second round of a lottery held by a major electronics retailer in Japan. He was first in line waiting outside the store, arriving four hours ahead of its opening. He hoped to secure a limited supply of Nintendo accessories to buy along with his preordered Switch 2. 'I feel very sorry for those who weren't successful in the lottery. But I also had tough time getting this far, so I hope they forgive me!' Takahashi said. The new console comes with a larger and higher resolution screen than its predecessor, with improved processing power, offering smoother and more vivid graphics. Nintendo has said it expects to sell 15 million Switch 2 consoles for the fiscal year through March 2026. The company has promised to roll out attractive software for the Switch 2 later this year, including 'The Legend of Zelda' games, a Pokemon title and a Kirby game, as well as offerings from outside software companies. Nintendo is capitalizing on the launch with the opening of a store in San Francisco and the Super Nintendo World amusement facility in Orlando, Florida, both set for this month. The Switch 2's rollout arrives at an uncertain time for much of the gaming industry due to new tariffs implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump. In the U.S., the Switch 2's baseline launch price is $449.99—significantly higher than the original Switch's $299 price tag. U.S. preorders for the Switch 2 were delayed for several weeks so the company could assess the potential impact of tariffs.

Ryukishi07, known for his Higurashi When They Cry visual novel, described the concept of Silent Hill as a setting, one that has seen 'many memories, stories and much pain with a dark history.' He also said that Silent Hill is also about portraying a characters' struggles with the evil within themselves.

It reads: "If you feel uncomfortable at any point while playing, please take a break from playing or speak to someone you trust." I lov e that!
