i guess thats what you call a harsh reality check; anyways he was alittle psycho at the end there, but kind of understandable, if they explained fully it might not have come to this
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

I understand where she's coming from, but I think his wife was overreacting a bit.

they should have lied and said that they loved his music, but I suppose the cultural gap was too great to understand that they were breaking their "ultimate weapon".

Music should always be about the soul. Always.

But dude, on a side note, that's a very fragile guitar. A normal guitar would only chip paint. That thing has to be made of glass and paper or something.

A matchmaking wedding. Now I understand why she doesn't get him.
Anyway, hang in there Oji, don't let it get to you man. I'm rooting for you.

Aww man the guitar hero is dead! Suck it up, Oji. Ultimate weapon my ass! We need spiral power now, the drill that will pierce the heavens!!! LOL
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

So it was an arranged marriage of a sort? No wonder they don't get each other, but I'm on Oji's side when it comes to the wife. She spends all her time worrying about what others think more than her husband, and and spends all her time bitching about everything he does good or bad. Ugh...

And then he gets the reality check about what is really going on in space, and he loses his all meaning in his playing...which I completely understand too.

Man so in other words I was feeling sorry for him the entire time.

Oji having trouble with the wife at home, his old friends don't get him either and lastly, those Aliens guys are really Aliens.

No wonder why his mind is a little broken in the end of the episode.

Arranged wedding. It all makes sense now.

His sensitive musical soul has been shattered by the revelation of what's going on.

being an older ex music band member and guitar player, i can understand exactly whats going on. Musicians want to hear how much you love their music. After years of living an empty life, he finds some reason to live again. Playing guitar ignited a passion he hasn't felt in years. But that fire, only recently reignited, is easy to put out. When he found out his playing wasn't actually impressing them, it crushed him. Just like the new song, it wasnt for him so it was without heart. When he tried playing the old music, it didnt work anymore because he lost his passion to play.

If someone ever makes you listen to their song, just tell them you like it. No real opinion or suggestions, trust me ;)

Yo'ko is less of a load than some people seem to think she is; Japanese society is very conformist and Oji is firstly opening her up to ridicule from the other housewives and secondly and more importantly, endangering his chances at promotion in the company; they live in a company dorm and gossip about him being weird will spread from wives to husbands and among the husbands at work. If he doesn't get promoted and make more money, how can they move from a tiny apartment to a house where their family will have more room? It's OK for now since Gen is so small he needs to be watched constantly but that's going to change in just a few years. Information from multiple episodes is coming together.

So it was an arranged marriage, that explains a lot lol. And Yokko's complains are definitely justified.

Also damn, that was a brutal reality check for Ouji.
