Hey, it's the last day of the month! Yeah, school's gonna start soon too. Well, to be exact, next week is my last week in this long journey. Haha I bet I'm the only one jealous of me taking such a long break...

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Yeah, this art club sure has a problem. And now they have a bigger one. Because this episode (4) they just changed club advisers from the don't-even-have-eyes Koyama-sensei (goodbye linchpin-up-till-now) to the... Tachibana-sensei, because I don't even know how to describe this woman. She's shy, she's worried, I think she's from the military or scouts of some sort with the salute (cheeky stuff in slice-of-life shows go a long way), and she overthinks too much. Hey, pretty much like me, besides the saluting lol. The students (those who are active, and I count Colette-san as inactive) drew portraits of her (Uchimaki-kun animated it of course) while she was sitting there like a rock, watching after them. I mean, I may have the curiosity to know what they were drawing, but now I have a feeling the teacher's good at following orders haha. Also, a lot of romance in Usami-san that Uchimaki has no idea of. But then hey, good reminder to those good times you don't have your homework and a friend has to deliver it to your house. I've tried that before. Being the recipient lol
P.S. Not that I'm MILF or anything, but I miss you, Moeka's mother. *laughs* Also, didn't know your father(or in-law) was (implied) Koyama-sensei. Hey, it all comes around!

That ass shot... must they do that, even for a moment? Geez...

Time Travel Shoujo: I must say, this show has a lot than it looks. If you missed this show don't say I didn't warn you about it.
This episode (4), about Volta, that guy who created the first battery ever. But then, I didn't Mari to be meeting her dad this early. Problem is, that's his dad from the past, and quite a few years ago. Bigger problem is, this time it's fast-moving. They were in the 1800s, a time of war, and the father seems to have taught the guys how to use that compass and the stuff in the lab. Unfortunately, it's also good time to know that the bad guys are trying to corner them up, and this will be a problem. Hey, little do we know this show actually has plot than just some history lesson going on with all the time travel thing going on. I'm looking forward to next week. And yeah, travelling to the past with a taser and a bulletproof vest makes you badass, I'm sure.

BLEACH: Well I guess this is about it lol
Anyways, the chapter. Wow I'm getting bored of saying it like this already haha. Well Ishida finally appeared, and for once we may have a chance to get rid of this future-reading God-like Quincy. Yes. He's still a Quincy after all. And if Zangetsu has to be the one to stop whilst Ishida gives that opportunity, then yes this might just be it. As I mentioned like, two months ago, we're near the end, so this is going to be the case if it ends here. Just enough time to wrap things up anyway.

No I'm not feeling sad


MOVIE
I've been watching some movies recently, and I should have done it last week (watched two last week), but yeah, I'll do it now. Never too late to revive this segment back lol
Minions (2015): Yeah, this one. I mean, I watched the Despicable Me series before, so this is more than funny but also just entertaining. The ideas of the show are great though, and who doesn't like these little creatures who just want to follow someone evil?
Peanuts Movie (2015): From the production which is going to bring us Mutts in a movie (hey, I'm looking forward to it though) comes one of the most popular comics turned into animation and packaged in a movie. Yes, if you remember Snoopy you're in this with me lol. The movie is overall touching (I guess it's the chasing of a girl lol), and has many elements of art in it, basically flowing through the movie creativity from imagination (Snoopy flying on his kennel) to the whole thing of comic draws within 2D-like 3D animation... man the movie just looks great.
Cinderella Movie (2015): Some YouTube video brought me here, and it's not the trailer. But then this is a beautiful recreation of the fairy tale we're all familiar with (really, if you don't know the real story it's fine, you can live with this one), and hell yeah it's awesome. With the powers of CG, the fairy godmother becomes the MVP of this movie, and surprisingly the overall mood of the show is not harsh. Like, mocking harsh. They may be bad to Cinderella, but there isn't any full-on verbal abuser, which may be my impression of the story, apparently. Other than that, the show is more formal than I thought, which is good because they focus a lot on the plot and most importantly, romance. And it's good, I must say, watching this over this weekend.

I know, right? Chasing after last year's movies. That or I have no mood to go to a cinema for them haha

This Week on Klassic Note

Eh... SCANDAL's new single isn't very impressive by all means, but then if this is for 10 years I wonder what is up next. ClariS new single is rather disappointing, and I decided to just leave it out for now. And I blame myself because I'm thinking of the past year songs of them that are good. Yeah, maybe it's just me. Gotch's 2nd album finally got to a conclusion in Klassic Note, and I decided to give one song that is none of the topic songs, because I don't like its general style and I gave the last track because I missed the year 2011, specifically that compilation they have stopped doing.

Next week brings a couple of releases, if I didn't remember wrongly should be nano.RIPE's new single (which I have not heard much of) and more crucially because there's that Anime, Uesaka Sumire's new single, which is probably my first review of her releases, so I hope it'll be good. Otherwise I may have to spend next week browsing indie artists again. It's about time BTW


This is it then. Cya guys next week, and yeah, I'm feeling sad. Feeling sad I cannot write out APoL. But then again I think I missed something important before I can continue writing, so this may be on hold until I get myself thinking. Until next time... the time has to come, so treasure it while it is ongoing.

[P.S.: Which brings us to this segment, and yes, it'll be removed starting from the next issue. *sob*

This last week it's Kana-chan galore! You may miss her, but I won't. There's more of her next week haha]

To the extent we have to rely on non-natural means of intriguing our image, we have already reached the epitome of beauty.

Yeah, humans are disgusting. It's just how much only. Man, I'm full of it today. Disgust, I mean.

I would like to live through hell, because I don't know what it is like to live in heaven.

Yes, we are living in heaven. That is why the term "living hell" exists, that or I've not been in it yet. Someday. Someday.

Now that I think about it: Muslim on terrorism is like North Korea on political rule.

I may be wrong here, so don't beat me up or whatsoever. But then again it's very biased, this statement, so take terrorism as you take Communism, yes? And I do mean Muslim being targeted as a symbol of terrorism, as compared to North Korea targeting others about their rule.

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #30

Bad news, everyone. If you've been enjoying whatever is at the bottom of these posts every week, I'm sad to say that I've found out the reason, and yes, Facebook URLs to images will expire, and supposedly request another URL every time, which also means keeping it alive will be tough. Concisdering I don't want to store it in this blog too, this means I'm abolishing this for good.

The good news? I'll only stop by the end of the month, which coincidentally means you get to see girls from my phone for two more weeks, including this week. *laughs*

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: To more problems this Art Club can handle, with three members we are introduced its fourth, and it's Colette-chan, as we've seen her quite a couple of times if your eyes are good. Known to be hiding in corners (closet, behind the sofa) she's also younger than all of them, having a background story that is different from many because she's a foreigner, and surprisingly high-pitched. Well, I say Uesaka Sumire, you've outdone yourself on this episode (3). We end up a round trip thanks to Colette not checking her pockets (I mean, she has to wash them someday, right?), Usami helping Uchimaki thinking of ideas for a new hair for that 2D wife he wants to draw (describing might be tough, but giving examples is worse), and I love friends who want to help you and your crush get together. Hey, you can't stop a maiden falling in love with a blockhead, but then again they kind of kissed thanks to a bunch of less-than-smart friends, and even got them on the school newspaper lol. I'm enjoying this show, honestly. Next episode we welcome a new advisor it seems, and to a further extent than Usami, shyness seems to cover all over this female teacher.
Time Travel Shoujo: Hey! This episode (3) comes faster than a lightning strike, so you should definitely know we're talking about that guy who learnt of the truth of that natural electrical source from the clouds, dear Mr. Benjamin Franklin. Honestly saying, ignoring the facts about the times in the 18th century which people in the past are surprisingly understanding of Mari's situation, this show teaches us a lot of other stuff. For example, slavery in the past, people's lack of education and their supposed gratitude to be able to, heavy religion problems as usual about God vs Science, and many more. But I must say, I actually can enjoy this show. This may be little short in animation, but it compensates in knowledge, content, and everything in between. So sure, for Aki-chan and Mina-chan this episode, I'll watch it, whatever. (Audience: So in the end it's still them?) Haha I guess so. The theme songs are going to be a problem to give though. *sigh*

漫画
MANGA

Kuroshitsuji: Well, guess what? Ciel was right! The way to deal with a prospering business, is another business!
The chapter elaborates well and leads up to what might cause Elizabeth to leave, but then again if it's only due to the charm of the music hall Bravat was hosting then I guess this may be over soon. However, the guys emphasised on her fortune-telling beliefs, so that may be a problem. On the other hand, the prince has given Ciel an idea, and that as a Phantomhive running a line of business, that the best way to deal with something popular is just to make it better and send it back at them. Nice one, Yana-chan-sensei, nicely played.
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Yes, the Anime's manga. I only read it's first release of three chapters (because it said so), and yes it follows close to the show. Well, close enough. Some jokes are covered (the introduction of the President is totally different, and he actually wants to draw!!) and others are expanded (when Usami falls there is not fortune-telling flashback which, in my opinion, that asking-for-a-kiss scene is straight hilarious), typical of Anime production. That's why I only watch one first before giving the other medium a chance. But then both made me laugh, so that's good news for this show. To avoid spoiling myself off content I'll hold off until the Anime ends, but I believe I'll get to see most of the jokes in the show too.
Saito-kun wa Chounouryokusha (Esper) Rashii: Hmm... that Art Club Anime lead me to the Manga and led me to the author's other work, which is this. Major differences between this and that are... everything is different. A snob for the main guy who can(not) bend spoons, esper-powered girls, high school setting, ecchi elements all around (like, they don't cover panties and more), but the jokes are also heavier. I laughed hard at a couple of chapters, but then this story fell short. Not like, four floors down a school building short (spoiler), but more like, 4 volumes short. Yes, it has already ended before I knew it. But then it was a great hour and a half as I'm reading it, and I sure missed SCANDAL's live stream. Oh well, nonetheless quite a read, and it belongs to one of those underrated indie works that should  be praised. Well, thanks to a certain Anime adaptation... this guy had outdone himself, this author.
BLEACH: I mean, the last time they did this successful the bad guy came back alive again, so... don't put your bets on this conclusion yet, yes? Besides, the usual way is what's after it, and that might be something simple. Recall Aizen's defeat is not by Ichigo's final blow, but his inability to take control again of the Hogyoku's powers. (Those were the days haha) But then again, this time it has a lot to do with predicting the future, so as long as he can still change it (even without his own bare hands), I see no reason to rejoice. Yet. Fingers crossed, guys. Kubo's promised us the end and he needs time to wrap things up, so... we're not far away.

This Week on Klassic Note

Okay, quite a bunch this week, so let's talk about it. TWEEDEES' new album came in fast, and I'm quite happy about it, despite being less than impressed on first hearing. But then again Okii Reiji has only such a style, so I shouldn't complain. Surprising "ikkubaru" came within the list of songs as a feature, but then again I didn't give that song now and back then anyway, so meh, just for knowledge for this one. VELTPUNCH's long awaited re-debut album came in too, and I must say I am impressed by it. The topic song music video should have been the first song though, and yes, if you have participated on the song creation voting you'd remember a familiar tune within the release.

I knew I had a hunch, and I almost rejected it yesterday.

That new song VELTPUNCH let us participate? It was the album's second last song.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) July 23, 2016

Primary's new album also got in my magnifying glass over the weekend, and I must say this is her most palatable release yet. Damn, it's too easy to give songs recently. And that is good, actually.

I guess with this, yuikonu, I've officially caught up to your songs.

Your songs are hard to reject BTW pic.twitter.com/ZSPCdsoye2

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) July 24, 2016

In other news, I'm most likely rejecting Gotch's 2nd album because I find nothing in association with him and the band Ajikan's new single for for some reason, and I'm still questioning myself about it. SCANDAL's new single appears next week, and hearing the music video... if you haven't heard it yet, it's different. Very different. Not in style, just in general. And if that karate girl doesn't remind you of Kuso Iinkai I don't know what will. Ayachi has announced her new 3rd album is coming by the end of the year, so that's good news. Quite a couple of stuff coming out next week, but not like I can remember them though lol


This is it, then. My nose is acting up with the erratic weather once again, so I've not gotten into APoL much. The next school semester is drawing near, so I better get to it sooner or later, as I remind myself every day, I assure you. Until then, stay happy (because I'm not so much now), and stay healthy. My teeth are not very good the last time I saw it at the mirror...

[P.S.: Here you go, Tomacchan goodness. As close as you can get her. Mina-chan too. That one is also scanned by yours truly.

Next week is Kana-chan I suppose, provided it looks good (I refer to the image quality) on my phone of course.]

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Week #29

Hey, everyone. Phew, that was a week. My end may be nearer than I thought, I desire more alone free time, and I'm not ready for the next 12 months yet. I'm screwed. Wish me luck. Wish Klassic Note luck too; I'm worried I may not keep up with it after ten years. Talking about ten years...

Taboo Tattoo: Okay, now to continue the long paragraphs last week.
You see, this show has its flaws. And they are standing out. Firstly, the weird jokes. Some of them are just not funny. I can't laugh at it, even if it's an action show. Seriously, throwing the guy down who was recently given a note in his shirt pocket down like, four floors and climbing up like within 30 seconds doesn't make any sense. Anyways, and we are now also introduced the antagonist, which is like some independent trying to take over the world. Hey, I can take world domination, but this is something else. Then, there is the irregular sense that is in this show. They, at this point, are not forming new questions that I want to find out down the road. Also, the main guy is a bloodthirsty freak. And now, he has to (maybe) kill his childhood friend because she is possessed by another tattoo user. This is real stupid, seriously. Sorry Mikakoshi, the show wasn't good. Maybe next time.
P.S. The only thing that I remembered of the show is that cute note from Izzy lol
Kono Bijitsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Hmm, I'm liking this show. A good example would be the first part of this episode (2) I guess. Easily, the President would just fake a death, Uchimaki would just play along wrongly, and once again they talk about panties. Hey, at least they didn't show it. On the other hand, there are a lot more jokes I can understand compared to other shows (*wink*), and it looks like the confession to Uchimaki is going to pose a threat to Usami, who apparently cannot cover her feelings about this junior. Then again, the girl who confessed looks like she's part of the cast? This could get interesting. (I don't know; my eyes are bad at identifying similar characters lol) We're moving on to a new character next episode, and I don't even need three episodes to  say I'm watching it. Seriously. This show is it.
P.S. Mikakoshi, you had A KID?!! Lol I found that out in the ending credits. She was the mother. Also, Uchimaki can just say no to whether he likes anyone in the school, because it's 2D haha
Time Travel Shoujo: Man, I keep forgetting this show is educational haha
The episode (2). Mari managed to come back, but not without learning a lesson. (See what I mean?) Gilbert managed to get the facts right, but needed a way to prove to the masses. Cue Mari and her soccer ball cake in process, and gives him an inspiration to show that Earth is indeed a gigantic magnet. Oh well, that is awesome and all, and the bad guys doesn't seem to have taken action yet (because not even we know of where that big grandfather's clock-like thing is anyway), we received a long lesson on magnetism and people getting killed in the name of science in the face of religion, and many more. Hey, this show maybe educational, but I can't help think the animation is less than good and the science is a little too much. But hey, at least it's a viable story. I want to find out what happens to Mari-chan's father anyway. I'll decide by next week.
P.S. Now I want to be named Fuuta so I can have Aki-chan and Mina-chan make a soccer cake on my birthday haha

BLEACH: For a long while I have not known where that Quincy leader is coming from. After checking with the Bleach Wiki I found out he was in the Soul King Palace. Oh yeah, I really forgot. The battle, man...

Well firstly, Aizen. Thanks to also him (I was anxious) we know he was in Soul Society waiting for that guy to come, and Ichigo and Renji came soon after. Unfortunately, we know everything about their interests in engaging in fight (yes, also Renji), and Ichigo just broke his blade again. *sigh*

Also, we have news that BLEACH will officially end in the next four months, not even reaching 700 chapters. Oh well, not that that's the point, but I want to see a reasonable ending. And that Kubo, I think you can still do. You've done sh*t and all, but I want to see something good this time round. Aizen popping out of his chair is most impressive BTW

Tonari no Kashiwagi-san: Spoilers - Yuuto forgot about his presents LOL
Anyways, the chapter. He's worried about the Christmas meet, and I guess he wants to get a present for Kotone, and can't decide on it. Cue her sister and manager for where he has worked before, and instead of asking what his female friend would like, they talked about uneasiness springing out of advancing the relationship. Well, not a bad idea to talk about it, but then again it's part of the story. And I like. It's hard not to worry about these things, huh. But Yuuto x Kotone is a sure thing, so he really can go for it. And that itself will be interesting.

FYI again if I did some time before this manga is ending Chapter 85, according to the author's Tweet. That is about the next volume when it ends. This better be a good ending (Ge it? Because I read a manga of that title before) man; I liked this story. Unfortunately at its prime it's only getting a partial Anime. *sob*

This Week on Klassic Note

Well since it's that week, I didn't have much time to listen to new songs. I'll review Gotch's new album next week instead of this week, or I should have done it last week, but oh well. Because of a certain Anime, I'm giving Mizuki Nana's new single a listen, and yes, I have a feeling the single is mostly written by old men lol. Anyways, I've given a couple of familiar names a listen to, to my disappointment of course. SPYAIR's new song is so like their past songs with the lyrics being real irritating, YUKI's new single is quite good but not good enough I guess (hey, back in 2012 that one was great IMHO) and Kimura Kaela's new single(s)... I guess I wouldn't even want to finish listening to them. It's okay; I'll give songs next week.

Talking about next week, we have finally waited long enough for VELTPUNCH's new album, and many other things I don't remember after that. Hey, this one's pretty important.


This is it then. I'm renewing the Klassic Note websites if you didn't notice, and I'm thinking of other ways to simplify my processing during the tenth year which is next year, if no one knows of it yet. Also, I'll be continuing APoL Chapter 16 (man, how many times have I mentioned this already) before school opens, so be sure to watch out for that, I guess. Cya guys then, and until next time... I don't know. My mind is in a daze. I think I can write a novel because I have most of the stuff drafted already, I think. *laughs*

[P.S.: We're close to knowing the truth, but I may just stop putting images of Aki-chan here soon. I'm sorry.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Especially the last two, they are scanned by yours truly. Tomacchan next week. There's cleavage, for goodness sake. *salivating*]

[P.P.S.: Strikingly is a reliable web hosting service, and I'm not saying this for ad revenue. Because if you put in images sources from the Internet they will let you put in the link to the image and reupload it to show in your webpages. Blogger doesn't. *sob*]

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #28

Finally. Next week. I know, right? I keep mentioning about the future. But then the future is scary. Well, at least in my opinion. And I want my freedom back. That's all. Okay, let's start.

アニメ
ANIME

It looks like I have not mentioned about this new season of Anime, but then again I'm not that interested at all. So surprise! Here's the first three shows under my microscope. Is there any more? I may like them, but then I may not watch all of them next week too. So... I honestly don't know.

Taboo Tattoo: Well well, what do we have here in this episode (1): "An action show again after Bungou Stray Dogs?", I hear you say. Yes, and I guess it's kind of half-assed, but then again now that I watched it all, I don't know if I should continue watching it. For starters, it's superhuman power, more than any other action show would provide across genres like sci-fi (mechs, I hate mechs), fantasy (beasts too) and many more. Then, there's the usual plot. An average guy (well, not so, but still) meets a girl who has those powers and is hunted because of some initial event in this case regarding his help to an underworld trader who happens to own said tattoos. Now, the tattoos. Sounds complicated, and I expect the main guy to throw a question mark but he didn't, suffice it to say the imprints are triggered by an item which grants an associated (exceptions do apply) ability, from enhancements to self-created weapons to use in battle. Apparently the main guy's "trigger" is blood, so that's kind of bad since you don't see them anywhere until after a fight.

Okay, now, let's talk about the good and bad. Good #1: Opening theme song. I may just start finding May'n out after typing this lol. Good #2: Mikakoshi was Izzie, the main girl. Or woman. I mean, she's likely from America which the story is based on, and is a Lieutenant of the US military. Oh well, the best part is of course, if I choke on coffee watching her sip milk haha. Good #3: Some comedy. Unfortunately not that much, as I will elaborate later. BAD #1: Story background. I don't like something based on international relations (seriously, not the underworld and military) and I have a feeling I may have to end up watching some military involvement which brings me to the next point... BAD #2: Guns. And more elaborate than that, every weapon in this world. Because it's underworld and military, you kind of have access to everything in this world, and I have a bad feeling about this. The opening video will give you a good idea of how varied their weapons are. BAD #3: Disturbing scenes, specifically with respect to the animation. That chick with big boobs aside (real disturbing, and not even sexually attractive), the drawing team here doesn't seem to speak with the animation team, making this rather plain in terms of completeness. For example, same road I've seen three times this episode. Another is the dojo, where they don't even have the budget to draw the walls. If the dojo THAT big? I don't know. I blame a lot on the author, most likely, but this is quite ridiculous. I want to remember certain scenes, and without much background it may be quite irritating.

For now, I'll sit down and watch. As usual, I'll implement the three-episode rule. But then, maybe I'll hate it next episode. We shall see. Because if I'm only here to listen to some Mikakoshi voice fanservice, then I'd rather take a bunch of her selfies and be happy with it.

P.S. May I guess the main guy's father is part of a tattoo kill? Or that he is part American and possess one? Oh well, I'll know, and that is IF I continue watching lol

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Hmm, slice of life. I don't need to analyse so much above, so I'll say it here. I'll watch it, most likely. Why? Firstly, theme songs. Typically will attract me to watch shows, and a slice of life one is always easy, unless you sing Anime themes. That doesn't mean Sumipe will be on my list anytime soon, but still. Then, there's animation. Too good, you think they pasted past shows they did onto the canvas drawn by the main guy who just wants an Anime wife. Then lastly, the show. The weirdness, the jokes, and romance in between. I can guess this will only go weirder, but then I think I can get it. Too many panties, but I have a feeling we won't be seeing that after this episode (1). But then again content-wise it's little, but development-wise is like the many shows I like to watch. So yeah, I might just watch this. Yes, Mizuki Nana, I have to give your new single next week now. Argh, the irony. But then again, I get the jokes, and that's what will make me want to watch such a show. That's good, in my opinion.

Time Travel Shoujo: Wow. I think I like this show. Anyone knows why a compass points north? Man, I want to beat this girl up lol
Anyways, I think this might be watchable after all, this... educational Anime. Yeah, it's branded like this, and will be. First, it airs in the mornings of Japan, which of course means it's for kids and is less than inappropriate for all. The thing is, that this show has plot (you know, romance, villains and more) which is very surprising considering that they could just make a lecture out of this (lol). Then, there's Aki-chan. Yes, if you haven't noticed, the main girl is her, and that Waka-chan is Mina-chan's voice. Hey, do I even need to spell out that Aki-chan's blog post got me to here? Then again, the show behaves a lot like a...an educational show, where subtle hints are given and there are obvious changes in terms of usage of words. If you didn't notice the difference of the main girl calling her parents with any other Anime involving middle schoolers, then you haven't watched enough Anime. And most of all, this show has mysteries. In a summary for this first episode (1), we're met with a girl who is bad at science who time travelled into the past, knows nothing of culture, and needs some help. So the book will send her back to also find her missing father, probably along with Waka-chan (because she's cute, and I want to be her childhood friend lol) who is like an encyclopedia to the main girl (sorry still don't recall her name) and will probably make this time conundrum even more complicated. Add in a couple of antagonists who want to know of the father's missing, and we have a series! I have a little of a problem here, that is this show may have an element of action - which is evident from the opening animation - which honestly saying is not desired in my opinion. But I feel the hype, unlike Taboo Tattoo, because the author just sent an idiot into the past! Oh well, I bet the father scientist is not in good condition considering people in 1600 England do not know the facts yet, so for that plot I might just watch it. We shall see.

This is it, actually, for this season. I may end up watching one only. I don't know. I'm not in that much of a mood to watch all of them anyway. The following episodes will tell.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Summary - "I got my sword back!!" -Ichigo. LOL
Anyways, the chapter. Not much, but yep Rukia you're right, not a good time to force yourself into the future right now, especially when it's easily manipulated by some... I don't know how to describe that being. Then again, there's the Fullbringers here for some reason (where the heck have they been till now again?), and Ichigo's sword is back. Seriously, even within the chapter Kubo-sensei you're lazy to cover up the plot enough. Oh well, let's go to Hueco Mundo then!
P.S. Seriously, I'm getting retarded. So is this story. *sigh*

This Week on Klassic Note

Well this week has quite a lot to listen to, even if they aren't released this week. For this week though, we finally have UNLIMIT's new album and if you have heard it, has quite a lot of promise. I've given the topic song by the time you read this already, and their other songs are making me feel generous. Goose house's members solo album is also released, which is just all seven members writing a song each. Honestly saying? I've heard before like, 4 of them, and only 2 of them did not disappoint. Otherwise, you'd be pleased to know I've taken notice to the females mainly (lol), and for now... I don't know how to give them. Because their melodies are downright abnormal and the lyrics somehow had to consist of the title (very irritating, even if I don't know much Japanese I've heard those words many times), so... this will probably take more time. I mean, compared to the many concept songs from this year (Q-MHz, ClariS etc.) I don't see them going to be any better than them. On the other hand, their new group single is coming out next month in August, so that's another chance for me to... you know. Give them a chance?

On to a new list of music video previews. Ajikan is just real unsatisfying (I don't know. 20th anniversary block?) even as a Naruto theme song, KOTOKO and ALTIMA don't make such a good combination after a long time the credited Anime got its movie sequel, Scenarioart's new song didn't sound very normal anyway, TWEEDEES is releasing a new album in two weeks so I'll be looking forward to that somehow, and I'm close to giving Mizuki Nana's new song. Close, and I mean because of the Anime. Chances I may just give that show, so yeah, this season of Anime is going to be me giving underrated songs in Klassic Note. But then again I do this every year, so I've gotten used to it haha


This is it then, a good projection into the future of music and Anime mainly. Otherwise you'd be pleased to know that I'm somewhat prepared of the week ahead now I know of the schedule, and hopefully things will go well. Fingers crossed. Until next week, I hope I come out in one piece, a happy man, and prepared for the next few weeks in which I will keep my own promise to finish APoL Chapter 16. Yes, I said it. I will finish it. *confidence* Cya guys soon.

[P.S.: Are we still doing this? I mean, putting girls on my phone homescreen? Hell yeah! We've got TrySail, why not?

In case you do not know them, visit the new Klassic Note Review page and find their debut single in which there are short introductions of the girls. Next week is Aki-chan though, so that's good hehe]

[P.P.S.: If you have noticed even if you're on the mobile site there have been subtle changes to the blog. I wanted to do a new one but Blogger is being difficult with me. And I still want to make this look better. How is removing the background and changing the font colour helping out? Black does well with AMOLED screens, I suppose...]

The Klassic Note Review 2016.07 Issue 2

I was thinking of a proper intro before I started... how about a Tweet?

What do these three singles have in common? Here's a hint: Ayahi-chan is missing.

Top left single review soon. pic.twitter.com/6rFcZWz2rQ

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) July 7, 2016

Sorry, Ayahi-chan. Your single isn't in it. It may happen someday. Or never. Whatever. I'm sorry.

I'd like you guys to keep your emotions together, because this one is quite an emotional one. Still wondering why it isn't on my shelf for this long. Read on to find out more.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Tomatsu Haruka - Baby Baby Love [Single]

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(Hey, it's all her acting cute. What can I say? Too cute, it's scaring me away? As usual, Regular Edition's better haha)

Origin: Well, if you ever remember a time, where in order to promote the sphere girls (Tomacchan was one of them BTW) they managed to set them each a single to release on a certain November in 2010, and I was persuaded to take two of them. It probably took longer if not for her recent best albums, but then it finally came back. This belongs to one of those releases I have no idea why it didn't come in earlier, but now that it is here it's closer to completion, I guess.

(1) Baby Baby Love
If anyone remembers this ending theme song from the Anime "To Love-Ru" series, this didn't come off back then as an impressive song. The tempo feels slow, but as a love song it definitely delivered. Coupled with the lyrics somewhat complimenting Tomacchan's quirky personality this is one of those songs she rarely sings but turns out to be good. It may be a tad bit long, and the music video may be too much fanservice yet again, but then who will complain? Overall a good song to compliment an Anime, so I won't say much since I don't remember much about it that is bad.
Rating (in 2010): 4 stars (Average)

(2) Yasashiki Hibi [Gentle Days]
Of course, it had to be the B-side. Coming in from the best album, I have been thinking a lot too when I am reviewing this now why didn't I give this song. It is generally well done, the music style is good, and the lyrics have quite a lot of meaning, if you understand even just some of it. Considering many more factors like time period and my bias in the past, I have determined the (un)likely thing that's stopping me from giving this maybe the slightly off melodic tunes of the verses of this otherwise good song. If you need a gentle song from Tomacchan, this one is it back then, so why wouldn't I give it six years ago? I don't know. This probably can also explain, but it might be due to listening many more of such a soft pop music style over the years, and this being one of them which is played quite often. Being on the best compilation, it may have moved me a little closer to what's actually good about her singing. At least, that's what I think.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

Conclusion: Overall a nice single to have, even if there's no lively tunes to dance to or whatever. Tomacchan's exhibition of love is clearly shown in these two songs, and has definitely come a long way to being part of her image today. Six years back, I may not have liked it, but now I do. If you need some love you should definitely try her out. I mean, the music. It comes along as one of her many attempts to communicate love with us fans, but it's also a good release. Please be sure to give it a listen, and not be like me six years after release. It's never too late to give this wonderful single.

-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note


THA THE PACKAGE
(I thought it'll look cool but then... Yah it's a typo okay??)
Not much here, as you can see with respect to the other single I reviewed a couple of days ago. But then again as I've reiterated many times above, it's good to be back. It's like it's been missing. Or that I liked the B-side so much I mention it a lot on Twitter. Hey, what to do?

Reunion photos include the one at the very start of the post which still till today excludes Ayahi-chan, and the one below which should've been what came in and reviewed in the previous post. I know. I waste a lot of money. If only I remembered to add it in like, 12 hours before I realised it, I could've saved a bunch. Of time. If I sound like I don't have a mood now, you should've seen a livelier me two days ago. Man, still didn't believe she released two singles this close back then. Nowadays the pace has become slower without Anime credits already.

This is all. I'm thinking about next week, and after watching Tomacchan's new music videos in glorious full HD, I'm starting to want her already. (Audience: As in?) I don't know. She always presents that image, and I feel for her. Man, if she needs some love, I don't mind contributing. How unfortunately financially I have to do it. Oh well. Cya guys then.

P.S. I didn't open that SCANDAL album I got for like, 24 hours. I mean, it's not mine. I got back money for letting my cousin pay me. But clearly, he doesn't know how to take care of the CD. Oh well, so long as he can take care of his gf... Not like I care, it's not my property now. *laughs*

By succumbing to foreign cultures, we lose our own culture. But then again, what culture?

My opinion of the youth (including me) of what we have left derived from modern society and education. Oh well it pays to be a global citizen.

The Klassic Note Review 2016.07 Issue 1

Hey, guys. As promised, I'm here with one of two (later this week) reviews of Tomacchan's past singles, and it's not because I'm going to do reviews for all the releases that I have on my shelf from before 2013 and such, but it's from her best albums which are released like, two week ago. Be sure to check that out to find out how I even got to this in the first place. Okay, let's move on.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Tomatsu Haruka - Nagisa no SHOOTING STAR [Single]

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(I mean, Tomacchan in a pool is great and all, but there's no water and I prefer close-ups. She didn't button her pants too hehe)

Origin: Well, should I introduce her? I mean, if you know Anime you definitely have heard her somewhere. This voice actress is a talent in herself as she casts and especially sings in many Anime including the likes of Sword Art Online and many other cheesy romance Anime you guys probably won't watch haha. Nonetheless, this is back then her third year in the making of her solo singing career, and as one of her company's pioneers (you can go check; she started before the other sphere girls) the idea of a summer song definitely came into mind. And thus this single. Too much summer, you think she didn't show enough skin. Ignoring the fact that this review is done nearly six years since its release, this is still quite a release considering how purely summer lively she was in this release.

**Note: The title translations below take into consideration Japanese-English grammar structure, and thus are represented in brackets. Go read more about translation with a Google search to know more.

(1) Nagisa no SHOOTING STAR [Shooting Star Of (The) Beach]
Wow, this song. As mentioned above, so summer, considerably the start of many other summer songs within Klassic Note. I mean, there's YUI and all (still the best BTW), but Tomacchan's sunny image is perfect, don't you think? The song is simple enough without typical faults (bridge, verses etc.), and apparently has a separate person who (probably) thought of the chorus (first) for this song to sound this great. It definitely did spur some thought about being able to be credited just by contributing a tune of a song chorus. Hey, that's creativity right there. Kudos to the guy who wrote the rest of the song lol, but then the lyrics also compliment a summer song very well. Furthermore, the music video strengthens the image of the song and the summer season, and yes those quirks and that chorus dance I have not forgotten. I just... don't know how to dance that's all. And because I can back in 2010, it deserved some recognition as one of the best summer songs in my list of all time.

This was still in my archives. I wish(ed) I was one of the dancers haha

Rating (from 2010): 5 stars (Summer Awesome)

(2) Hoshi no Stage [Star Of (The) Stage]
Hmm, let's talk about how this song became a stopping point for this long before it got on the list just last week. Whilst reviewing this single I have thought of a lot about why I didn't give this song six years back. Honestly saying, the first thing I can think of that deters me away from this is probably the horns (which are credited in the booklet, that's why I know) and that it sounds too broadway. And that's probably diminished through the years as I got to hear more of such tunes, and considering that the melody of the song isn't bad and with the previous song it didn't sound weird as a whole, I actually decided to give this time around. Ranking within one of the two best albums, this song actually brought of much recognition amongst the fans too. It's as if the fans want me to give chance to this song, and sure I did. The melody wasn't much of an obstacle, but then Tomacchan singing in a higher octave sure sounds abnormal, and yes, we now know how she sounds like on stage. Like, if given the stage within a song. Hey, there's part "getting the boys in" in the lyrics, so don't blame me here, okay?
Rating: 4 stars (Slightly Above Average)

Overall: Well I must say this belongs to one of the releases that I definitely missed, and I'm here to make it up to Tomacchan, especially. If this summer you have no music on your head, how about stuff your dirty minds of a lot of Tomacchan and dance along with her? With songs written for her this well, there's no way you can stay away from it. Give it a try, and said I sent you.

-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note


THE PACKAGE
Firstly, the ranting. Because I don't want to do it next issue. This was supposed to come with the other single I had planned to give just the next day I want to order this, and yes I totally forgot I could make it happen and it was all too late. What I got is a whole lot of waste of money and a lot of waiting because now I have to do them separately. Combined with the fact that my cousin wants to batch order with me, I could've helped him save some more money too. Haiz, still very regretful till today. It's been a week already. Well, the me last week was pretty dumb. Hope I have awakened. This month is going to be hell if I don't.

The CD is a lemon~

Anyways, back to the CD. It isn't much considering I have not gotten any special photo because I have never pre-ordered it, and that getting through the auction website is not an option anymore, but still, a lot of belly shots (not as much as Limited Edition I guess), and that back in 2010 should be enough for satisfy our tastes. Hey Tomacchan, didn't know you'd get to what you are today...?

Personally, the inside shot was the best. (Audience: ?!!) No, I mean the booklet, okay? The image inside the booklet!! Damn, you sickos... You don't get to see them, as a punishment.


This is it then, and until next time which is probably about Friday (estimated)... why not give a listen to Tomacchan's best albums? Yes, both of them. I want to buy them but I have no money. Besides, Klassic Note dictates I shouldn't do so too. But damn, I want to see those new music videos...

P.S. My cousin likes SCANDAL (and so am I, and so should you) and he - like many others who value their money - only buy albums, so yes. Well he asked it like, three months ago not long after their latest album release, so this took some time haha. Sorry bro, I even forgot to help you save more money by bringing in two singles because I can and I didn't. I'm sorry!

P.P.S. Maybe I'll take some shots with my phone on the SCANDAL album?? Haha we shall see.

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #27

*sigh*

Seriously reflecting about life, and the fact that I've not been preparing for what's coming up within the next month. Physically. Either the end is near, or I'll have to threaten myself to exercise starting tomorrow. The latter is not working out yet though. That's why it's worrying. My brain is getting ahead of myself, if you know what I mean.

アニメ
ANIME

Assassination Classroom S2: This is as much as it can go, I guess.
As quite expected but against my thoughts, this last episode is a touching one. We see graduation, development, and time pass as expected, all apparently according to that one octopus and that big book that everyone in the class got. The money too, but that is another thing. The biggest draw, is that after seven years... besides the moon looking more normal (lol), is that Nagisa became a teacher. And yes, killing is an option within the class. Hey, no one said there couldn't be another season of this lol, but anyways it's a respectable end. I mean, bringing back the octopus may be more fun, but it beats creating a chemical that can replace any blood type in transfusion. So I'm fine with this kind of ending. I cried last week already, so this is good. The story panned out as expected too, so this is good as well. Overall, a show to watch is you want a little more out of your education. I mean, unless the intention is killing, it will never get better haha

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Well, I guess this latest chapter is just to fill in the blanks. Apparently all the remaining Sternritters are pretty much dead, and has been "redistributed" to the leader himself after taking all of Ichigo's (spiritual) powers. Surprising why he isn't suffocating in a spiritual world yet lol. Anyways, the main antagonist chose to leave for Hueco Mundo it seems (it's like Aizen, but with a little less motivation haha), and with supposedly superior power, once again evil has consolidated into a singularity, much like Aizen. Will Soul Society have a chance to revive? Will everyone else in this story still alive go ahead to take down the evil? Or will everyone have to live with another dictator in hand, waiting for the worlds to collapse? And can Kubo do this in under 20 chapters?? (Audience: Did he mention that?) Well, I suppose we aren't far away, hopefully, but that we are close. Just hope the evil can sleep well at night and not get ambushed in some way lol. Oh wait, he may not need sleep anymore. Oops.

This Week on Klassic Note

This week continues my last week of reviewing Tomacchan's best albums, and after much time I still didn't decide to give enough songs to get on my shelf. Sorry, Tomacchan. Instead, I will take the time to review two of your singles next week in honour of your seven years of solo singing. This is the most I can do for now.

ごめんなさい。

Anyways, moving on. I've finally come to terms of Sasaki Eri's band, and decided to give the debut song from Lattice. almost five years ago. It isn't the latest EP, but still. I've also finally got a time to listen to yucat's latest album from this year which features her very first song from back in 2012, and I gave more than that song apparently. I mean Yukari-chan if you want impressions two months into release I'll be glad to give my opinion. Honestly, the iconic style may stand out more than her compositions, to be honest, which explains why I only give topic songs like "Stop Me" and "Dr.Code" and so on.

Next week brings a couple of releases as far as I know, UNLIMITS' new album will be out then, and I think I can focus on it if nothing else comes out. I don't know, I cannot remember stuff now. Hey, the music video is online too; be sure to have a listen to it.


This is it then. Seriously taking some reflections now. The consequences are as different as a flip of a coin, so this will throw me off if I think hard enough. Meanwhile, I think I found the root to why I'm not continuing to write APoL, and I hope to resolve that soon. Until next time, take care, and if you don't exercise... hope there isn't any military regime forcing you to do so. Really, conscription is a b*tch. Oh well.

[P.S.: Hocchan week! Yes, her age is not a factor to how much I can like her. But then it's when she has makeup, for sure. *laughs*

Next week is a lot of TrySail, so that's going to be fun. Hey, they can all be prospective partners lol]

[P.P.S.: I know Ten-chan is quite a genius with a facade, Mocho is honestly serious despite being clumsy, and Nan-chan has thoughts - a lot of them - after reading so many of her blog posts. I guess not, huh.]

Afternote: I'm considering changing the post so I can get an image every post, specifically Entertainment News because I'm abolishing these images soon (you should've expected it) so long as I can confirm it expires after some time. Until then, I'm thinking of sharing a part of my social media posts because no one else cares. Well, not like anyone here cares too, but still.

The Dream Record #13

You know what's the best kind of feeling? When someone you know is in the same class with you. Sound familiar? Don't be surprised.

"I was in school registering my new semester subjects. Apparently we have to manually go to a place to put our own names on attendance lists in order for it to count. I went over to the last two specialisation courses (will explain this later) and when I reach the last course guess who's on the list. Besides some friends from the past that I know of a familiar name also surfaced: Komatsu Mikako."

Now if you think this is unlikely and how the heck it can even happen, yes new on my line of dreams is the dearest and loveliest Mikakoshi. Yes, finally.

"Not long after, we're all in class. The teacher briefed us about various things as I see her across the room, seemingly unaware of my presence. I felt somewhat too happy to be in it, and as active I seem to be in class she didn't seem to notice me."

Man, I've forgotten a good portion of this part of the dream. Moving on...

"I was at my cousin's house. It had several rooms all on the same level which apparently housed myself, my sis and mom, some of my cousins, and her. Again, within a smaller group, she still didn't seem to notice me at all. It was also afternoon, so the sun outside is shining bright. Running out of things to do many of us (not including my mom here) have decided to take afternoon naps. A voice echoed from the hallway to draw in the curtains so people could sleep in the room, in an rude manner too. Seeing that only my sis is on the mat on the floor dozing off and many others are not, I walked into another room with a karaoke set. My mom plugged it in and started to play familiar oldies of which I know of but I was singing half-assed and soon enough, I gave up singing those songs.

When I returned to that very room, I saw my sis missing as she appeared to stand beside me. We peeked in to notice her cuddling herself with the very translucent curtain that we used to shade out the sun. And with the room lights on and the sunlight seemingly disappearing, we decided to leave her alone. I went for another karaoke session with my mom again, but this time the reluctance came in quick I left the room just singing a phrase."

Wise choice, huh, leaving the room. Stupid me. Still, Mikakoshi wrapped in curtain.

"A while later, my sis and I returned and saw her missing. We then decided to lie on the only bed not on the floor for a quick snooze. My sis those to lie down perpendicular to the bed and me with a pillow is resting next to her lap. Before we can even sleep, someone walked in to the room, seemingly searching for something. After searching the whole room she then decided to search the bed. It was her. She apparently was playing some have with the others. I guess it's hide and seek with an item or not, who knows. She lightly touches around me on the bed to avoid waking me up as I was facing against her. She then starts mounting on me, finding crevices between me and the bed. Just when she was about to reach my sis, she took out the mystery item from behind my right ear and left the room. A quick glance shows that it was a keychain of a chicken. My sis was awake too, apparently, and I commented "I mean, if she can carry me out she would've said she found it too anyway" and we both laughed."

Several things to note here. (1) I'm in university which means you do things online, and people have printed out attendance lists so we can't fill in the names ourselves anyway, (2) the last part refers to be being called by one of my cousins as a chicken supposedly due to the zodiac animal of my year, and (3) I have thoughts to make this interesting by not stating her name first but due to lack of details like how she behaves a little boyish and quiet as such, I decided not to do so. Also, Mikakoshi wrapped in curtain is probably because of this:

xD

Okay, references. The university party should be easy to explain since I screwed up course registration a couple of days ago, the cousins meeting wasn't a thing but relatives meeting up is, and Mikakoshi-san? I guess it may be due to the recent purchase of that clear file, but otherwise, she's just to fulfil my earnest desire to touch her and be with her for the rest of my life. Seriously, can she be my waifu now??

P.S. Seriously next time idol events should not involve shaking hands only. They should have face licking or something. (Audience: What??) I guess the current dosage has weakened haha (Audience: What have you become, seriously...)

The Dream Fragment #17

"I guess I was in a drawing contest. I could not determine my age but I consider to be very young that we are doing it on the floor. I was in a team with a girl against another team of guys. We are seemingly drawing a city scene against each other. The other team was drawing fast, covering terrain and starting to draw a very look-alike railway along with a station, supposedly so long it reaches the ends of the large paper. I took a laugh to it and looked at ours. Our terrain was supposedly very tiled and consists of a big mountain of white and the rest ws just a patch of green. My other teammate is still touching up on the terrain and I told her I shall start on drawing some roads and buildings before we run out of time. I took up a pencil and started drawing roads and noticed I can never draw a straight line possibly due to the uneven surface we are drawing on. I continuously tried drawing a straight line, somehow drew a dotted line thanks to the movements on the surface, and then another line, but all not in parallel. I continued drawing until I had decided to give up. I then drew some buildings which are just rectangles from the top view and it somewhat looks terrible in my opinion."

Honestly? I'm trying to sound dumb so I look like a kid lol. Anyways, references include that news female news reporter who was my teammate, my "friends" back when I was 13 to be the opposing team, and the game Parkitect that I've been playing often recently to be the terrain of my team's map. Man, references I can do well but recalling the dream I cannot, huh.
