Tamagotchi Round the World


This post will be a review for " Tamagotchi 'Round the World" for the iPhone and iPod Touch:

Tamagotchi fans who have an iPod Touch or iPhone might be interested to check out this application. It is important to point out that this is not exactly a virtual pet, i.e. you don't take care of a single character. however you are required to take care of an entire planet along with all its living creatures. These creatures are known as Gaiatchi (plants, geysers, clouds and trees).


You control a Tamagotchi character and you need to take note of what the Gaiatchi require. In the above screen, for example, you can see the plant asking for poop...so you need to tell Mametchi to fertilize the area ;) . Other actions include: dancing for rain, playing rock-paper-scissors and tickling the tamagotchi character.


Tapping on a Gaiatchi, or the Tamagotchi character, will show you a series of actions that you can do. the actions mainly require you to tap and slide items across the screen. It sounds simple enough but it gets really challenging when you are required to do lots actions at the same time or when there are two or more Gaiatchi calling for attention.

The game has lots of levels and the graphics and animations are really cute and cartoony. You don't have to be a Tamagotchi fan to become addicted to this game. Also, it's very cheap (I bought it for €1.59 from my country). There is also the free demo, I'd suggest you download that first and buy the full version if you like it :)

OM21: Tamagotchi Music Star Secret Character!

Funny enough, right after my last post, Kikitchi evolved into Mametchi!

Seeing that I've had him plenty of times before, I decided I might transform him. But first, I let his bandmates evolve into adults. Hinotamatchi became KuroMametchi, and Ringotchi became Makiko. Their performance for the judges went down great, and they became pros, starting at 9th Rank.

So then I went into my item invetory, and use the special item Boy's Destiny Star (thanks to Spudilike for helping me get it!). A star appeared between his toy and instrument, and it showered stars all around the screen, and suddenly, Mametchi was replaced with a Dreamitchi!

The pictures above aren't as great as my last ones, because they were taken when I was using the camera's video recording mode and took screencaps of certain poses. I'll be sure to get more pictures soon!

I'm not sure what sort of personality he has, because Bandai has yet to release a Music Star character guide (or a V5 Celebrity one, for that matter!), but so far, he's a really cool character. My only bug though, is that he seems to love his original Guitar over every other instrument, and I have ALL of the instruments! It's always his favorite, even when I give him the Wild Guitar. What's up with that?

But while he's lock in on his favorite instrument, his favorite music genre is constantly changing. So far, he picks between Asian, Rock-n-Roll, Classical, Pop, and R&B; he's won 1st ranking for all 5 of these. He has yet to even try the other three (Latin, Jazz, and Hip Hop) for some reason...I keep switching toy and instrument, but he's still stuck with those 5. I guess it's affected by his favorite instrument...

If you want an English version of the Tamagotchi + Color, you finally have the chance to tell Bandai about it. Just click here to fill a survey. By filling the survey you will be telling Bandai that you are interested in buying the TMGC+C if it was available from your country. Also, filling the survey will give you a chance to win a TMGC+C (the Japanese version). I would appreciate it if in the last page of the survey you write the url of my blog: www.familitchi.blogspot.com ....as seen in the screenshot below.

Tamagotchi music city log-in code

Many visitors of this blog have been asking for a login code to use on the new Tamagotchi Music City (Tamatown for the Tamagotchi Music Star).

1. Go to www.tamatown.com
2. Click the big guitar in the middle of the page to go to Music City
3. If you haven't done so already, create a free account and log into Music City with your User ID and User Password.
4. Once you login, click on the login button on the right of the screen and use the following username and login password:

OM21: Music Star Generation 7

So Otokitchi left, and I began my seventh generation of my Music Star! I named him after myself, "OsuMesu", something I've never done before.


He evolved into a Kuchitamatchi. I haven't had him in a while, so it was nice to see him again. :) I gave him the instrument Guitar, and the toy Bandai logo.

He evolved into Kikitchi, and formed a band with a Hinotamatchi named Toby and a Ringotchi named Thu. Their band is called "Clover!", and right now, they're into Rock-n-Roll. 

Hopefully he'll be evolving into an adult tomorrow. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of him as a child and teen:


Seems he really loves those Easter eggs. :P

He did the animation today too, even though it's now May. Wait... just checked, he thinks it's April 26th. Oh boy. 9_9 I'll fix that later.

Hey, it's OsuMesu21

Hello everybody! Welcome to Familitchi! :)

You might know me as OsuMesu21, from Tama-Zone. If you don't, let me tell you about myself: I'm a Tamagotchi lover from way back in 1997. I've got a growing collection of Tamagotchi pets, new and old, English and Japanese. I heard this blog was looking for another writer, and how could I pass up the opportunity? ^_^

I'm also the creator of the "Clover Edition Tamagotchi", a Tamagotchi concept I created several years ago. It's basically an idea of how to make a Tamagotchi that's not only technologically advanced, but also appeal to Tamagotchi's very broad audience. Yes, more people than just girls love and collect these things. :P

Just to start off, here's a picture I took of my Music Star today. I'm raising an Otokitchi named Yuki, her husband Dorotchi, and a baby boy. After 6 generations, the baby will be my second boy...I've had way too many girls on this version. xD


I wonder why Otokitchi looks nervous? It's just a bunny and its eggs.

Help needed.

Hello everyone. It's been such a long time since I last made a post on this blog. I apologize for that. As I've said in an earlier post I have been extremely busy lately and that explains my lack of blogging.
I have some important news: I've decided to outsource some help from you guys. I need ONE person who has a blogspot account and who is interested in Tamagotchis. He/she needs to be able to write interesting posts about anything that concerns Tamagotchis: news, updates and engaging Tamagotchi logs with lots of clear photos. If you are interested then please send me an email on jesmmifs@mail.com
This blog gets about 400 unique visitors every day so I am searching for someone who shows a dedication towards the main subject (Tamagotchis) , someone who can write interesting posts for my audience. Also, I'll be PAYING the person who is chosen to join this blog. Please don't expect payment to be very high...I hope that the people who contact me will do so because they like Tamagotchis, and not because they want to earn money. Still, payment is always an extra motivational tool ;) So, don't forget to send me an email to jesmmifs@mail.com if you're interested.

UPDATE: The above offer has now ended. We now have a new collaborator on this blog. Please welcome: OsuMesu21. Some of you might know OsuMesu from Tama-Zone. I am so happy to hear that we'll be reading posts from such a big Tamagotchi fan.
