Didja know...
...Shibuya is a real place in Japan? I saw it listed in a train station when I lived there. Never went there, though.
...The voices were changed for the American version? You probably did.
...That the Japanese version didn't have Grind city? It was only in the American version. The American version was later released in Japan as JSR Deluxe.
...Slate was originally supposed to be one of the first GGs? In the demo, he was third to join instead of Tab. The reason for the change is unknown.
...There's a secret cutscene? THERE IS, DAMMIT!! I'm not (choose one) lying/crazy!

Shibuya is a real district in Tokyo (I saw it on the Japan TV channel), looked like it had a lot of little shops and restaurants, but they didn't show any major "bus terminal".
Also, Shibuya is the name of a new Japanese restaurant at the MGM, here in Vegas. . . .my friends got a pretty good laugh, because they didn't realize that it was a "real" place!

Did you know that Yo-yo is the youngest GG? He's at age 14. I always though Mew was...

 ^^^Shibuya The Picture's my background, man! I'm so going there when I take that year off after college or whatever. It looks so cool. Slate was gonna be the third GG? Would that make Tab the last? hahah. They probbably thought he was too special to start out with... I mean in the first few levels what are you gonna do with 40 spray cans? I know I'd like it... but I don't think the first Shibuya level has that many spray areas is my point (correct me if I'm wrong). Ooh OOH! I've seen the cutscene!! Your not crazy/lying!! At first I thought it was just showing me doing another good trick and then I remebered I hadn't done anything... man that thing was cool. I loaded in my Jet Set Radio Japaneese version yesterday.... HAHAHAHAAH!! Tab sounds like he's four, and Gum sounds like she's 8, but WHY does beat sound like he's 30? It's all messed up... haha I can't wait to get to Mew... I also may have noticed another fun fact... I dunno if I saw this in the american version but waaaaaaay in the beginning, when they're talking about "There's a city called Tokyo-to..." I don't think, in the american version, they show the big Golden Rhino building. I saw it in the Japaneese version. I think my mind is on the fritz though. Anyway... I had another fun fact but I forgot it. |

none of you mentioned that cube has a completely different outfit in the japanese version the most perplexing(is that a real word??  ) thing is the bugs in the game ..wow when you battle the gangs they just run into the nearest wall n chill there for a bit then run into somethin n fall then bak into a wall..... seems like they tryed to develop some kind of AI system for the gangs when you battle em but it didnt like...work out at all i do admit its pretty freekin funny tho also being such a jgr obsessive freak i noticed that poison jam has different moves in the jap version jap version:beats moves american version:front:720,backflip backwards: abstract, judo backflip(y do i nkow that off the top of my head?!) another hilarious thing is when you challenge mew in the jap version mew is a ditzy joke n u challenge her in kogane everytime she trys to do a grind or whatever that you have to copy she falls or messes up n winds up flat on her face... so you gotta finish it without knowing what she was trying to do (perplexing or what  ) |

Also in the japaneese version you start out with a diffrent medium tag then you do in the Us game  Man... i gotta play more Jet set radio... i'm too hooked on jet grind radio to do a thing with that version... mostly cause I have to switch out my VMUs. Miz -- The tall guys that the char. grinds under are so lame... I noticed that the char. does a slow grind too... and what are they doing? Their little kung-foo poses  |

ya a bunch of graffitis are replaced with other ones mainy because a ton of ppls names are different and also because they are cooler looking than the US versions tags and whats the point in giving us the cooler tags....

Do the 'roids do that to people? Or maybe the middle one was going to sit on the character, but forgot. What's even dumber is that the big guys didn't even move to avoid the barrage of cars! |
