No you are not seeing things, this is the (count them) SECOND Toryumon show being posted on this SUPER TORYUMON TUESDAY. What’s so super about it, I hear you ask? Well, it is the last Toryumon TV episode before the long awaited debut of VAMONOS AMIGOS!

A little something different for you today. RandyNoKachi was kind enough to provide Dragon Gate’s Open the Music Gate 2012 for you all. You can listen to it above or if you prefer you can go directly to the playlist on Grooveshark. I’m afraid I won’t be offering the actual MP3s for you to download, but if you really want copies I highly recommend trying to buy a copy from the official Dragon Gate site or, if you can’t read Japanese, Yes-Asia also have it for sale.
