Dodo Kuranosuke

Dodo Kuranosuke (百々内蔵助, died 1560) was a Japanese samurai, and was a retainer of the Rokkaku clan until 1558, when he launched a rebellion.

The retainer betrayed Rokkaku Yoshikata, and then fled to the safety of Sawayama Castle in present-day Shiga Prefecture, Honshu. Kuranosuke was besieged there, but held off every enemy attack until a force of ninja under Tateoka Doshun infiltrated and burnt the castle.

In 1560 his forces aided the Azai clan at the Battle of Norada against the Rokkaku. He fought his archenemy until the end, when he died in battle with them.

Fortune (Chris Brown album)

Fortune is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Chris Brown, released on June 29, 2012. The album is Brown's first release through RCA Records, following the disbandment of Jive Records in October 2011. As the executive producer of the album, Brown collaborated with several record producers, including The Underdogs, Polow da Don, Brian Kennedy, The Runners, The Messengers, Danja and Fuego, among others. The album also features several guest appearances, including Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Nas, Kevin McCall, Sevyn and Sabrina Antoinette. Originally scheduled for release six months after the release of his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. (2011), Fortune received several push backs.

Upon its release, Fortune received generally negative reviews from music critics, who panned its songwriting and music. In the United States, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 135,000 copies in its first week making it Brown's second number one album in the U.S. The album also debuted at number one in the Netherlands, New Zealand and United Kingdom, and reached the top ten in Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Japan and Switzerland.

Touch Me (arcade game)

Touch Me is an arcade game first released by Atari Inc. in 1974, and later as a handheld game in 1978. It can be described as a Simon-like game that involves touching a series of buttons that light up and produce sounds. The player must observe a sequence of blinking lights and repeat the sequence back in the same order that it occurred. Each time this is completed, the game will produce another sequence with an additional button added. This process is repeated and a digital score window displays the total number of sound sequences a player correctly repeats. The game continues until the maximum sequence of buttons is reached, or the user makes an error.

History

Touch Me was first released as an arcade game in 1974 by Atari. The arcade version was housed in a short arcade cabinet and had four large circular buttons of the same color. The player was allowed to make three mistakes before the game ended. The arcade game found itself competing for attention in arcades with the latest pinball machines and video games of the day and was not very successful.

Touch Me (Rui da Silva song)

"Touch Me" is a song by Portuguese house producer Rui da Silva and British singer-songwriter Cassandra Fox. The single is arguably Rui da Silva's most popular song, spending one week at the number-one spot on the UK Singles Chart, the first song by a Portuguese act to do so, lasting a total of 14 weeks on the chart alone and selling over 300,000 copies. The soulful vocal, trance chords, and deep house groove of "Touch Me" earned Rui an award for Best Single in the Muzik Magazine Dance Awards 2001, as well as a nomination for Best Breakthrough Artist at the Dance Star Awards.

Background and writing

Vocalist Cassandra Fox wrote the song and co-produced the hit single with Rui (Cass writing the lyrics, Fox/Silva writing the backing track) hanging out at Silva's studio after the two met when he and a friend saw her performing in the West End.

Content

Da Silva told Billboard that the song originally contained a guitar part which was inspired by Spandau Ballet's "Chant No. 1". This part was removed after difficulties in getting clearance on the publishing. The removal of this part resulted in the record's release being delayed from Christmas 2000 until the beginning of 2001.
