The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #25

Okay I have an exam paper tomorrow for many reasons than other that I will not bore you with (go back like, 7 issues and you'll know) so let's finish this quick because I need to revise. I can barely remember anything after a month and a half of not studying and playing games lol let's start

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan

"I know Majima-san from an angle you've never seen" lmao as if you know

The guy in this episode needs to fix a mirror on his shoe in order to have the ultimate experience lol. The new episode (#FumikiriJikan11) continues on the fantasising journey of Tanishi, that bald kid who can't even stand against (height pun intended) the beautiful female classmate. Well, as much as his thoughts were lengthy, they were progressive. From boyfriend conversations to whatever you think is beneath that skirt lol, this guy's thoughts has everything. Funny how this can constitute a 3-minute video considering (warning sexual content) I go from arousal to jerking off faster than that haha this guy is literally me 10-year-old me oops. Anyways, nice episode, and we are nearing the end, so... no conclusion perhaps? Oh well. It's still a great show to watch though. Some of the stories (like this) are interesting for me who likes slice-of-life shows.

My safety distance when I am not conversing with a girl but thinking of her naked lol

OUT!
(Like, seriously bro, you're out)

P.S. #TheSin when you saw just briefly a lady's tookus... This boy is too pure haha
P.P.S. In case you wondered and cannot remember the names as you pass by the opening theme, the girl is voiced by Komagata Yuri who also sang the opening theme song. I mean, she's technically less than just a newbie for only saying a couple of lines in this show, and the song wasn't that great, so... nah she's not my type haha

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

Damn, is she sniffing on my fiance's clothing?? *laughs* #PlotTwist (No, she just likes the smell of that man that perfume brand it's got quite an exquisite aroma lol)

I think we should rename this episode (#TadaKun12) to (spoiler alert) "Tada-kun wa Naite wa Shinai" (Trans.: Tada-kun Never Cries) instead let's get that petition going, guys. *laughs* Okay, the episode. I must say it was lackluster for what needs to be conveyed, you know, like the breakdown, but nope, there wasn't much as in the process but in the result. Tada-kun reached Larsenburg (the only time I'll spell this, and correctly) in search of... well let's just say he's being a messenger for his grandfather, and (I wouldn't say he found it, so) chanced upon Rachel, who apparently lives in a different (but heavily guarded) abode than the palace, I assume. She did not reveal the situation that Teresa and Alec (and Charles) are in though, but passes the baton to the palace, where the couple met again after what seems like forever. They sat down, and of course, the truth be told. So yes, Teresa was actually just a royalty who has to go overseas for experience, and more specifically, to do so as part of growing up, before taking over the nation. So yeah, I was half right. This and all, the people in Japan don't know. So yeah, it was kind of bad. Teresa mentions it was decided from the beginning, the marriage part, and Tada-kun... let's just say he also cried. No doubt Ijuin will be there to support him and maybe motivate him to take some action towards his love or whatever I don't know now. What is important is that this must be settled in some way, and I anticipate an ending. How epic will it be? This episode didn't really deliver that impact, so I hope the last episode will. My fingers are crossed. On other things, Alec likes Charles? Well, that doesn't make any of them royalty I'm afraid, and yeah they can't really find a replacement unless you tell me Teresa and Mitsuyoshi are related by blood (that's even worse) so this can't go anywhere that far I'm afraid. I feel sad for Alec though, through her serious face hides her innocent behaviour even I feel for. Oh well. At least you're not having it as hard as Teresa-chan, who might have to make that decision eventually should Tada-kun ever take action to prevent the supposed reality from happening. I'll be looking forward to that.

When you thought you could see more from a gravure by tilting the book lol
(And the one woman beside you is better lmao)

P.S. Once again, Ijuin MVP this episode. For his weird sneezing, stupid English introductions, and how terribly he screwed up the tailing of his best friend lol
P.P.S. I knew what was under Teresa's desk already. That's everyone else if they has secrets haha. Seriously though, you can NOT not forget those wonderful times.

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

Okay maybe I was dumb but if you figured out what happened with the three hints you're a good boyfriend/girlfriend haha. "Love is Hard for Otakus", I guess. *laughs* The new and final episode (#WotaKoi11) of the series is as adequate of a good ending as you would expect it to end, but it's not without a bunch of stories to tell again. I know the recipe for storytelling here is getting dry, but I still like it for the jokes, the stuff they talk about, the love within, and everything else in between. That's still what makes this show special. From Hirotaka playing games end to end for days (I mean, what is he playing?), Narumi cooking for her boyfriend (where can I put a request on that order lol),  Koyanagi desperately wanting some love, Kabakura concealing his emotions for anything he doesn't like... these four sure have something to talk about. All in all, the series proves to show much of what is love between otakus without boring us with the technical stuff (okay the last part about first love is... I couldn't even bother to research on who they are) and still maintains quite a high standard for those jokes and plot lines, so I congratulate the show for this. I enjoyed it personally, the pace may be kinda slow, it's a bit true to reality lest I experience it first lol, but hey, if you wonder what is it like dating someone who just likes comics and animation, this is as close as it gets. Then again now that I got to know about it maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all, finding someone with the same interests as me. I mean, I'm only a little into Anime and Manga titles. Would be at a different level if I were Japanese lol. Finally, as a teaser to end this just like how they ended this series, my first love (in Anime when I was about 14) was... drum roll please... Remember "Toradora!"? I'm not into little girls so... Kushieda Minori!! (Love Hina doesn't count I have no feelings for Naru) But really, why? Hmm... I liked lively girls back in 2008 (not so because they can drag me out of the house lol) (and also because spoiler alert - she is not that bubbly in personality anyway), and she's cute. And voiced by the lovely Hocchan. Can't say anything more. It quickly changed to the K-ON! girls the following year though for some reason haha

Me when I notice they are "having a good time" lol

Me when they notice I was "having a good time" lol

P.S. #RealityCheck when you know you're not going to get greeted on a surprise visit the same you would encounter in a shoujo manga lol Narumi
P.P.S. TIL Kabakura likes Cardcaptor Sakura haha don't worry bro everyone does

漫画 MANGA

I'm skipping this for this week too I've got manga to catch up after tomorrow

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

It has been quite a week in Klassic Note, so let's talk about it. Suchmos's new album is not impressive by any means, and it's mostly just me giving it a listen because I heard of the topic song which was already released like, 4 months ago but I didn't like it until now? Yeah, so I'll give that a pass. Gotch seems to like the second song in the list like many others online though, so if you like them go give a listen. Chatmonchy's last album is finally out after half a year of crying on their announcement of disbandment, and... I'll give it. In this case, I'll hold on to the true Klassic Note fashion but I have to say I cannot take their music style. They have come a long way, but if you don't miss their classic rock music style, I do. So yeah, not quite a happy ending in this case, but otherwise... yeah I did like the song with the lyrics written by former member Kumiko (that is track 6 in case you wonder) so there's that. LILI LIMIT also came back on the microscope after much resistance of not giving anything from their latest formal release in February this year and that one single track in April. So yeah, giving two in this case, to compensate in protest of the song style I'd rather prefer (I'm not into their electronic music tbh) and also anticipate for better songs as I continue to like their melodies and expression. Still, quite an exception in the industry and in Klassic Note in recent years. Last but not least, Komagata Yuri's debut single for Anime "Fumikiri Jikan" is finally out, I WILL be giving another song in the single a chance unlike many other singles which slipped off my hands from the start of the year, and the song itself... I mean, the preview in the Anime is only the chorus; I don't have much to work with here so it could be anything. Well, except it wasn't terrible. Sorry halca-san; you gotta swallow the fact that despite the last episode of the series you're not getting your ending theme song single vetted by me. No, damn, way. It's time to be real critical in Klassic Note. Unless it rings in my mind again (I just listened to it in full again) then maybe. Otherwise, we're done. Komagata-san, you still got chance. We can talk Anime roles and bodies. *laughs* (Refer to the Anime review above for more)

I also spent some time to go on a journey for some indie artist music again. I know it's not prime time to do this because typically an early May season would be wise, but hey, I do when I can. I highlighted a couple of artists on my Twitter feed from SWANKY DANK to LuckLife ripoffs (well both of them aren't that famous yet anyway) so be sure to check them out if you can, and yes I'm being gender biased to male vocals because there's too many female vocals on my song list I'm trying to even it out here okay? Too much idol sh*t songs already and I can't take in more at this rate...

Next week brings us... nothing. So I might just go explore more indie artists then. I missed the times I was giving SpecialThanks back in 2015 along with a couple more artists and am happy to see where they are today to be honest. You know, these solo journeys are my pilgrimage, and I feel a lot the same.




Okay I'm done. Wow, 3 hours left before bed so I won't knock myself out in the morning paper. Cya guys next week then, and until then... I'm trying real hard to think of how to do #KN10YEARS stuff, continue APoL Chapter 17 and watch all those live performances AT THE SAME TIME??? Man, time is short when you keep playing those stupid online free-to-play games lol okay bye bye

Things that happen quick may not be painless, but things that happen slowly will already be painful.

Thinking about the entertainment I'm enjoying today without paying a cent. Or even those that I do pay. The Internet is such a wonderful place to criticize anything and everything until we realize this can all go away once we do not support them. Okay I'm done it's making me poisonous already.

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #24

Hey, guys.

Yes, I know, my plans for #KN20 #KN10YEARS have yet to start, but yeah, I'm still working on it. Turns out if too much happened in a year I have to spend more time writing about everything. Should've thought of spacing all the events out to make the storytelling in the future more consistent haha I'm going to run out of content to talk about for Klassic Note last year lol okay let's do this first

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan

The new episode (#FumikiriJikan10) brings us the epic conclusion (hopefully the guy didn't f*** a schoolgirl lmao) of whatever cliffhanger we're left last week, which is that guy seeing his student self crush but him as an old man. Spoilers are ahead but yep, it's the daughter. Don't worry, nothing happened after the truth was let out of the bag, and man was the daughter dressed exactly like the mother. Just through literary? This kid is real smart, and fearless apparently, to appear dressed in the same way. Well then again we're dealing with one guy who will recognise her so... I guess it's okay? Man, is this the kind of love story I'll see years from now when I'm an old man and my secondary school (middle school for you folks out there) crush appear in the streets? Haha not gonna happen I swear I don't even have a crush on anyone. *wink*

On the other hand, I'm surprised she's surprised at the... confession?
Gotta inspire the girl to be a writer hehe

P.S. Yeah I saw the cast in the opening theme. Remember last week's episode didn't feature the girl talking? Thanks Tamura Yukari-chan you make a wonderful schoolgirl voice lmao the last time I heard of her is when I was doing her on the bed (Audience: HEY HEY HEY PG BRO) haha oops

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

"I'm sure they have a good reason" YEAH YOU BET THEY DO haha #foreshadowing

Seriously at this point I want to be an Anime character, enter Tada-kun's cafe and do that Rainbow Shogun action until Mitsuyoshi decides to go find the girl haha. Okay, not going to happen just yet, but the new episode (#TadaKun11) sure got a lot of people sad. IT'S BEEN ONE MONTH ALREADY?? Wait, THREE MONTHS?? I mean, if you got regrets you better do something about it now. And so he does. Among all the sadness is realisation, that their sudden departure is of course, with reason. And of course, still possible to find out the truth. I mean, unlike the last time Tada-kun your dear crush is not dead yet. And I must say the setup to this part is real good; that I give the production credit for. From Tada-kun being angry at them two leaving abruptly without a word, so seeing things around town and reminiscing the good times, to cleaning up the past and finding them out again (I mean, they could've just formatted that memory card haha) and even in all these there are remnants of not only the two, but of regret. Of wanting an answer to conclude the end of the good times. Hey, we all expected at least a year of good times. This motherf**ker just left in six months!! *laughs* Okay jokes aside, if watching the video footage in the school computer didn't make you tear up, you're heartless. If you're not touched when your dear grandpa tells you to go pursue what is needed and giving you back your regret, you're emotionless. All in all, I must say this is a real good plot twist aftermath for an Anime original, and I can't wait to see how this pans out. With Tada-kun conquering his fear of airplanes (Teresa-chan be like "he's not going to come for us he hates planes" lol) for the one he likes, things are going to get real awkward when he notices that he can't speak a word of European in that small country lol okay yes chances are Teresa-chan could be married but still YOU WANT HER TO COME FIND YOU WHEN SHE'S CARRYING TWO KIDS WITH HER OR WHAT? *laughs*

Spoiler-free reaction images to this episode lol

Spoiler-free reaction images to this episode lol

P.S."Alec-san took the Volume 7 of my beloved mystery novel and didn't return? We're doing to Larsenburg!" Is what I hoped Yui-chan would say, but hey, this is not her show. *laughs*
P.P.S. Ijiun-kun MVP this episode because he's the only one who can still keep the mood up (for himself mostly) despite the circumstances. Also Miyano Mamoru MVS (most valued seiyuu) in case you don't know how active he is in person compared to his Anime counterparts. Yes, this isn't his first role with an active personality. Also MVC (most valued couple) (lol) are the two regulars in the cafe because I want to say my love to someone someday #RelationshipGoals

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

"He's the type of person who's fine being alone" NAO TRIGGERED lol

Oh wait, Nao-kun is HITTING ON A GIRL??? Oops. The new episode (#WotaKoi10) is another one of those "And that is how I met your mom" stories? No? *laughs* Okay, the story. Nao-kun manages to find himself a plaything friend to play games with but unfortunately he, or should I say, she, is a pro gamer like the brother. But before that, let's talk about the glasses. A day with Hirotaka but without his glasses must be my favourite part of this series now because I mean, it hits all the jokes at the right spot. He indirectly gets laid by all the girls in the office, he is mistaken by doing BL with his boss lmao (the hardest I've laughed here so far), and... the girlfriend is jealous. Okay, maybe not the BL part she's enjoying it but yeah, it was fun to watch. Now, Nao. Word pun not intended because it's a lot more interesting in perspective for the title of the show I keep forgetting because I keep thinking it's about those four. So yeah, the little brother thinks his elder brother is just a heartless pro gamer who doesn't give two bird poop about others, but hey, at least Kou-kun (as Nao-kun has referred to so it's burned into my brain now) was kind enough to play with this total noob, and so assist him whenever possible. That's how you make friends, people. Lucky you Kou-kun; you'll not be that lucky again considering how closed and alone your personality is. I'm a living example of such bad luck haha. On the other hand, it was interesting to watch mainly because it's not about the main four anymore, and with some hope we might just get to see some sparks going once that poor part-timer notices he was hitting on a girl hehe I'll be looking forward to that but going from the episode count... Please Anime give me that last part as conclusion you won't give us the main conclusion anyway haha

The two parts I laughed the most to haha
(That's me irl btw it's funnier too that he's working instead of just staring at some monitor)

The two parts I laughed the most to haha
(I laughed harder at Koyanagi's expected reaction lmao BL is great content for jokes)

P.S. *Watched last part after ending theme* Oh. *laughs*
P.P.S. And... drum roll please... Kou-kun is voiced by... Aoi-chan??? Damn, she's good at male vocals almost thought she was a homo haha

漫画 MANGA

Finally! A break! MUAHAHAHA (It'll be back next week.)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was quite important as it concluded on the many songs I've yet to give over the past few weeks for some reason, and also new releases. THE ORAL CIGARETTES new album was much anticipated although rather disappointing but I haven't given up yet so yeah I'll probably a couple more after the topic song. The one split single from cinema staff was a real bummer as I can't even so yeah I'm skipping that too (man, I've been doing this quite a lot this year I wonder why) because it's just too hard to even give anyone here. I also gave a listen to H ZETTRIO after quite some time giving them a couple of music pieces from last year, and I won't say I will give a lot here so I don't have to say I never give anything next week haha

Talking about next week, we're finally welcoming the end of Chatmonchy and their final album along with the sensation I went up on Twitter to make after getting hooked to Suchmos and their new album which apparently the topic song I didn't get hooked back four months ago and this is after their departure to major (though independent) label earlier this year. So yeah, these two, are the plans.

On other news from the Internet for Klassic Note, fumika is finally back on Apple Music Japan (since her departure from major label) so yeah you should've noticed that playlist link, miwa's best album tracklist isn't that impressive considering I missed two of her recent singles already, as I said I got crazy on Suchmos instead of being crazy over #KN10YEARS plans... oh that didn't go up on Twitter haha I don't have the guts to announce something in progress

Okay I'm tired from making some stupid program in Python to help me fetch Songs of the day from my own Twitter account it's overflowing in user traffic for some reason lol. I could've just done this manually and it wouldn't have burnt an afternoon but nope. *laughs* Cya guys next week then, and by then... I better remember to go for that supplementary exam so I can graduate next year?? Uh oh the school may have still made me miss convocation oh well whatever haha such is life lol bye

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #23

Well, salvation does exist, so I'm given a second chance. I thought I gotta let this out first before I talk about everything else in this week because... I finally get to graduate this year. Thanks to whoever involved in making that decision which is otherwise never possible for those pu**ies at the school's administrative office. *laughs*

Okay, not pondering about that liao; it's ending in two weeks. Let's talk about entertainment, yes?

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan

What? This is a two-parter? See you next week lol. Anyways, the new episode (#FumikiriJikan09) is simple in presentation yet leaves us with more questions than we came in with, which is none. Okay so there's this man who's waiting by the railroad crossing reminiscing (I used this word specifically to describe his age) about his school days, seeing the girl across the crossing on the nearby train station, but yeah, he didn't take any action. Well, that day did come, and so he wrote a letter and passed it to her. Problem is, wait, what? It's the exact same girl holding his letter? Time paradox? Or it's the daughter? So many questions, yet we'll only know next week. Damn, this show. *laughs*

Not going to spoil what happened but you can guess what is below her haha

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

"ALWAYS MAKE YOUR HEART RAINBOW!" *laughs*

The wait is over, dear Rainbow Shogun fans. It's the focus episode!! *cheers irrationally* The new episode (#TadaKun10) focuses surprisingly heavily on the show and also, on the main two. And man, what an ending. But hey, let's talk about what happened. Firstly, Teresa-chan. She went with Tada-kun to the Rainbow Shogun Show, and you bet that was fun to watch. More importantly, the symbolism of them being together seems to foretell something that will happen, which is... (spoiler alert) it's her last day. And even Alec-san turned kind and happy for once. Hey, if this only gave Ijuin-kun the creeps we're not normal haha. Secondly, the family story. We're finally dropped big hints on who Rachel is this episode, and yes if you need guessing it's probably an old lover. Of the old Tada-kun. Okay at this point let's assume old friend, yes? Even so, that will make the relationship between Teresa-chan and Tada-kun somewhat close already, considering we know about the North Star story back in a couple of episodes ago. Still, what that means? We have no idea. Suffice it to say that this will be the only opportunity when revealed, to do something about the ending we didn't expect to happen at the end of this episode, I would guess. And lastly, what has happened. So yeah, why the sudden return to their hometown? I mean, the parents' dead already right? So... Rachel's in trouble? Or Alec was worried this might get any worse "so let's get back and finish the marriage" instead? Maybe, but we don't know. Problem is over her, will anyone here do anything about it? Will Tada-kun even bother to ask the questions? Remember the Anime title? Yeah, that's going to play into this next week I suppose. Anyways, many questions, and we can only but wait to find out. Hey, at least there's the cliffhanger. Seriously didn't expect that until Ijuin noticed Teresa walking away from the hotel. Yeah, it's that late for me. How about you all? I hope I was the only blockhead haha. All in all, I can foresee the impending disaster that is about to happen to Teresa after making such a sudden decision of leaving without saying proper goodbyes... I mean I'm prepared for those floodgates to open so we can finally see someone break down for love in this story hehe I'm waiting Anime production

When everyone is interested in something you don't lol

I was seriously as shocked as Ijuin and I totally expected a date of some form but... nothing.
Alec-san you disappoint me.

P.S. "I don't think it's your fault that your parents got into an accident" WELL NO SHIT *looks at Tada-kun* haha #mindblown for him to say the least. Drama~
P.P.S. All I want in life now, is that Teresa-chan would say those emotional words right beside me using that 3D sound head dummy thing?? Wow, that would be a dream come true...
[OMAKE GIF!!!]

I thought this wasn't an actions-only romance show like that other Anime

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

"The people who are still playing now are definitely otaku" I better remind my friends about this haha <= talking about Pokemon GO

Hmm the new episode (#WotaKoi09) sure was fun, don't get me wrong, but it may shed some light (as little as it is) about Hirotaka himself. So yeah, the main couple decide they've done too much otaku, so Narumi suggested to go on a theme park or something, but Hirotaka posed a dumb penalty (well it wasn't that dumb) on mentioning anything otaku, which basically means their lives right now so I don't think this is a good idea. On the other hand, they did in the end have something to talk about, though Kabakura and Koyanagi had to chip in to their discussion. To a further extent, it gave time for Hirotaka to think about how much he and she has changed along the years, and it doesn't matter anyway because we move at our own pace. Well that is until someone thinks your pace is too slow and decides to pace you like that stupid sergeant who thinks you cannot pass your fitness test lol okay back to Anime. So yeah, the usual laughs, the piggybank was heavy enough to (as I expected) go buy souvenirs, and I must say if we're going on a date where we can't talk about the stuff that brought us together, that's gonna be a bummer. But I like that idea I just don't have anyone else to use it on- *cries* I don't really know how this will make for the direction of the show, but as of now I don't think it's much. Hey, that's the problem with adapted productions, people. You may not get an ending. Well, at least make it good one, yes? We're close to the end already.

I like the reverse drawing style here where the main characters are sketchy and the background is detailed lol

I like this super complicated character chart (or whatever you call it) of them two haha

P.S. The new ending theme was terrible anyway. Thanks, halca-san. Also, your new single isn't great, just so you know. I gave sumika already so I'm done with you, girl. *laughs*

漫画 Mikako-san

"It's not a lie; It's just vanity." Gotta remind myself of that haha *stares at wallpapers*

Since this series is kind of short (well, 7 volumes isn't short but the chapters were) I decided to finish it in one go. Meaning I've been reading this for like 6 hours straight haha. (Could've been shorter had it not been sh*tty streaming sites) Anyways, I chanced upon this on pure coincidence because Komatsu Mikako (hint starts here) was Tweeting about her life-sized paper figures on the shops promoting her upcoming album with a hashtag, and instead of seeing more images of that figure I instead saw this manga which was still celebrated like, 4 years after final release of the manga in 2014, so I decided to take a look. So, this manga which started as a weekly serialisation in 2009 by author Kyou Machiko, is about a short story in a familiar setting: the final year in high school. Typical, right? Yes it is, but what caught my attention after reading a chapter of it (in Japanese) and probably would catch your attention too is the art style. It's really sketchy, for starters. Coupled with the minimal expression that is in the work, it brings of little meaning but heavy understanding and interpretation for every chapter. For such a work to lie on the literary side of expression (but not in words because I wouldn't get it), you can't help but think this can go in the right direction. Hey, this may not be an award-winning piece (okay it was, just not big enough for us to know) for all to know, but it has its quirks.

Didn't know you could do this to a penknife tbh

The story goes off describing a girl's life (name inferred) Mikako who is still as aimless as she is after all these school years, and things are about to change for her in her senior year. She got to be friends with a guy who likes the same band as she does, she managed to get herself a boyfriend which is not the friend (we'll get to that soon), she has a best friend (I assume) who also has her relationship woes... all the stuff you can expect in school. That, and the future which lie before them. And this is where the inferential stuff happens. Every chapter is either something with relation to the story the author wants to point out (eg. "It was at this time, I think I fell in love with him") or a short description about a detail in everyday life (eg. the whole family doing everything near the same sink, from laundry to snatching your spot to brush teeth so they can sleep early) and that is interesting in itself, though most would think it's boring. The overall plot progression isn't that exciting too, so if you're expecting "Toradora!" level romance antics and cliffhangers you're not going to get any. What might be more disappointing is the ending which obviously we can assume is that the main two will eventually get together, probably more than friends. But the last few chapters were totally based on your own inference because it was half-assed, I would say. Still, this story is interesting in its own field, I would admit, but maybe it's a little too dull, and maybe a little too true to life. As the author mentioned she wanted to convey teen life as well as being normal in life yet living out our own stories.

Man, you wished all manga was this true to life. And it says so well to me too. I was going to bore all your lives with a longer paragraph than this, talking about my life as a student now (almost about to be) living another semester because of an accident I did similar to Mikako-san (I didn't break my arm walking down the stairs though), but yeah, makes you think about how life should go from here on. Sadly, I wasn't blessed with people who will like me, or even walk up to say they do, which kind of makes me glad to have this manga as awakening. Also, inspiration for how I should write my lifework APoL too, that's for sure. All in all, I liked the story, the sketchy art, and everything in between, from a loving heart to not feeling anything at all to... to being alone and lost, just like myself.

Okay let's move on with life I'm sick of these kinds of depressing stories haha

漫画 A Channel

The special chapter in Volume 8 titled "Sweet Operation" talks about Yuuko's struggle to... be friends with Tooru. Well I suppose this is an early story thing since... haha okay maybe not, but yeah it's a nice story to find out. Yuuko just wants some love from the incredibly adorable shorty (haha), but she doesn't care. Time probably won't solve this stalemate according to Run-chan and Nagi-chan was probably more right since it's easier to find something in common. Hey, did someone mention sweets? Yep, baited her good, this cooking talent of hers. And that's probably how it all began. Funny huh, that Nagi-chan can talk well with Tooru. Well, I pity Yuuko most of the time in these situations, so now you know why. *laughs*

Same here too, Yuuko. Same here.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was quite a disappointing week in Klassic No- Wait did I say the same thing last week? Haha then this week isn't better I guess. Eh before this week's releases I would like to say sorry to- Oh I did mention him two weeks before? Oops I didn't add him to the list haha I'm sorry to myself tbh. Okay, this week. In a nutshell, TrySail's new single was just an EDM phenomenon which is totally a turn off for me (sorry Nan-chan so are you and your love for EDM) (to save you the trouble she said it in her blog) (okay no no you're still cute can we play games someday? lol) and Numakura Manami's new single wasn't that interesting considering how wonderful Ten-chan's single was last month (and I didn't give the B-side) and if it wasn't for SECONDWALL's first full album 5 years since their debut I would have swore I need to throw all of these away and find new artists haha. A little more about SECONDWALL, though I made it sound like they were the salvation this week, the melodies are still rather weak compared to the great rock music they have behind it. I finally also got my hands (thanks Apple Music) on DENIM's first full album after recommendation of a audio preview from Gotch like, half a year ago (yeah I remember these guys since I've heard of them before this too, that's why I know) but then... this one was also a no-go. Probably will be giving the one song that brought me in though; that one is as relaxing as its song title.

I also took some time to give GLIM SPANKY another song for the money because I like them hard rock music after listening to a live performance released on YouTube which I can't believe I've been missing out since it was uploaded in February this year. I've proven my dad over the weekend through Apple Music Japan (even so) that he can enjoy his dialect songs from Taiwan by taking in one of our accounts (which is not possible haha) or just paying 10 bucks a month (he can sign the local region one Taiwan is not  Japan) to support his favourite artists... which he didn't reply. Oh well, can't believe the discount is THAT much already and he still won't consider. It's fine. I took a couple of years to come to this decision as well. (Oh wait I called both posts "part 2"?? lol)

On other news looking at my Twitter account, Anime Manga "K-ON!" will receive its sequel with a different cast and a drummer as main girl (I thought you'd like to know this xD), nano.RIPE is releasing their new album in August ever since their hiatus and return from last year. That vocalist from SECONDWALL noticed my tweet lol, and... that's it. *laughs* Okay I gotta complete the sentences I wrote spoke wrote out at first, can? Remember; this was written as a narrative. *laughs*




That'll be it, people. I know I mentioned a lot about #KN10YEARS but I've not been making progress, mainly because it's harder to write a complete story for the next five years (ie. KN2013-2017) compared to the first five because I don't have any reference and I noticed I was supposed to write a summary and make a full one 5 years ago but I didn't and now I'm doing the reverse I guess? I don't know. I'll confirm once I'm ready. And since we have that piece of good news which I started the post with which means my time is limited on this too so I better hurry up. Sorry if the story isn't told in more detail but I guess only I will care so whatever haha. Cya guys next time then, and until then... I wish someone will give me some feedback on my GitHub page...

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #22

Sorry for the last post but if I'm bored on a Sunday and instead of doing everything else in this world I could I chose to play some stupid freemium (or free-to-play) game on the Microsoft Store (instead of the Google Play Store/App Store) IT'S MY PROBLEM. Well, and yours. But yours is less because no one reads this weekly post BOOM GOT ME lol

Ugh my head hurts argh let's finish this quick

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga- <insert copyrighted Anime title in full here>

Okay I'm inclined to feel like that, but hey, did you like brocon? This one's back for part two in the new episode (#FumikiriJikan08) and I must say besides getting used to the less than active conversation which involves using phones and messaging stickers (lol I want them to sell it sooo bad) we've probably also seen a different light in how Takeshi (since we've only heard his name) and his sister get along... outside the house. I mean, what happens INSIDE the house? Your guess is as good as mine lol. Anyways, it sure is awkward in this manner, but this is the type of drama (probably) I can get to, and I can't get enough with. Problem is now that this is pretty much concluded I don't see anything else in front of these two already tbh

Besides the use of conveying jokes, these stickers will be very "ukeru*" if sold tbh

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

Come on, who's cuter: little Teresa-chan or little Alec? You only get to choose one, and the reference is when they say the Rainbow Shogun quote haha

Really makes you wonder how the Larsenburg kingdom manage to get a woman with such a keen eye such as Alec when she was like three(?) to assist in the life of the new Queen. Woman, man. Very sophisticated lol anyways. The new episode (#TadaKun09) talks about the... incoming attack from probably the only antagonist of the show Alec. (I'm trying to make this happy, okay??) But in comes more memories to be sad about in a world of reality Teresa-chan has to face which is just as important in responsibility as the fallacy she intends to immerse into because she gets to go on an overseas study in Japan. I mean, not like I've fallen in love studying abroad gone overseas long enough to fall in love lol, but even when you do and you (probably) clearly know it's not mutual... I guess it's good to give up? But yeah, like many others before her (Yui-chan, Nyanko Big) it's hard to explain. And that, maybe Alec could cut some slack on her. I mean, what's wrong with being in an entirely different world and falling in love with it? Hey, it may not even be close enough than a kiss (No seriously, how close was that? lol), but whatever we get to experience especially if it's great it needs a memory to live by. Whether it's personal or if it can deviate from your life, I believe it should be fulfilled. This, the books don't teach you, girls. *laughs* Anyways, we might still have a bigger question to answer which is... why is Tada-kun so kind? Okay, not that haha. The question is: Why then would Tada-kun not fall in love in return? I mean, I'm not deliberately counting the episodes just because it's an original Anime production, but it's gotta happen some time soon already, yes? As of now we're not even close to that climatic finish this type of story should end in. *Ijuin wink* I'm waiting.

Tada-kun is as hard as a... donut?? lol

At this point I expected the cat to speak again like in Episode 3 tbh

P.S. I mean Teresa, that Rachel probably don't know about love I mean come on she's old and probably a virgin not even married never fell in love with anyone lol
P.P.S. But seriously, Tada-kun WAS awake when Teresa-chan was doing her realisation in the attic, right? He was, right? RIGHT?? RIGHT??? *giggles* I'll be looking forward to that plot twist which we'll likely need

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

"What's a date, anyway?" lmao Narumi-chan

But seriously, ask yourself if it looks cool before doing it because getting piercings is NOT cool I'll tell you that who thinks gothic is cool anyways?? lol FINALLY THE EPISODE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR haha not really but we're an episode close so I'll take it. Of course I'm talking about the new episode (#WotaKoi08) where in the end (spoiler alert) the main couple finally decide to go on a date that is not of their interests. You know, generic dating, they call it. I guess this episode we also got some insight into Hirotaka's past again, as he (and probably Narumi) expresses a fear in thunder unlike many other guys wouldn't have. Well, I mean, I kind of have that as a kid but it's all well thanks to the realisation of lightning rods lol. But no, his story isn't like this. But hey, can't say he doesn't have an episode of his own, along with Narumi-chan for some reason, naturally. Moving on, the main couple, unlike the other, doesn't really express their feeling to each other that well, and that may be spot-on for many out there who watch this show now (don't ask me I have zero experience in this) and because of that, may not be going steady as many would expect a couple to, I guess. I mean, what do I know about dating lol. Anyways, whatever happens between Kabakura and Koyanagi probably gave some thought for Hirotaka and his relationship with Narumi, and for once, FOR ONCE!! We'll see them go on a proper date which is not the house, Animate, or any Anime event lol. We can but hope. I mean, if it's to see an Anime movie then I'd rather stay home <= not Hirotaka

I must say it's "pretty creepy" (get it?) looking at this as still image not to say animated

Gotta flirt that cute girl lol I mean Kabakura chill out man

P.S. Gotta love that Koyanagi flirting with Narumi-chan I mean we normally don't get to do anything about the cutest girl in the show so thanks Koyanagi as usual hehe
P.P.S. Once again since I probably did this before, but I'm really impressed with Narumi-chan's voice actress <name here> (what she pissed off fans at a male idol event??) for making her such a lovable role. And no, I'm not talking about kid Narumi that one is just fanservice haha
(Eh just found out MAL may be down for now so if you can't access it there's still the name- Oops) (Well there's the article anyway)

漫画 A Channel

Tooru is like "I don't have that many friends" and I'm like "How many friends do you need to count as many? 20 tables worth?" *looks at cousin's wedding dinner*

The new chapter (105) talks about the girls going on a hot springs trip. Yes, those without any clothes on. I mean, it's Anime right? (Well, not really, but the world is not the production) Tooru got free tickers for a day up at the hills, so the girls decide to have a good time. The teachers aren't going to be in the bath though, so yeah it's as sinful as watching little girls be with...a  bunch of monkeys??? Oops sorry for the spoilers the other jokes were funnier btw

MVP this chapter - the girl circled in red who I swear is not one of the girls

P.S. The real MVP are the monkeys imo even though I would most not want to meet one in the wild, especially in an outdoor bath

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week is quite a week of song rejections in Klassic Note as I say no to everything from Anime to mainstream artists I intend to give new songs on. Hey, it's 2018 at Klassic Note and I intend to make change of my bad habits of giving songs closing both eyes lol. KANA-BOON's new mini-album wasn't that interesting per se, but I did give the topic song in hopes for more since it's their 5th year anniversary this year and... maybe there's going to be another release? We can but hope. halca's debut single for Anime "Wotakoi" wasn't great, and considering where the production is from (MusicRay'n) you'd expect better but no, they didn't give due attention to this solo artist at all I guess. So yeah, I'll be holding that for a while until I can think of a reason to give a song I've given umpteen times before when I had a reason to give at least one theme songs for any Anime I watch. (I've given sumika for the opening theme so this ending theme is optional) Lastly, Coalamode's new album is... man, really hard to give. I expected that after listening to their previous two singles and knowing that the first major debut album is full of their songs with them as an indie artist... you'd figure they would do better, but not unexpectedly they probably won't. This is the part where "they will show their true colours" so I've already judged that. So yeah, maybe zero if I'm as critical as I am with the previous release mentioned here.

Next week brings us TrySail's new single which... I think I've expressed my opinion heavily over here at some point, but I'll still give a listen because... I do that for all my Collection Artists because they've earned a right to waste some of my time lol. (I seriously need to do this all the way some of them I just skip now) Which leaves me for some time that I can... maybe find new songs or clear some of the live videos I've missed over the past few months thanks to school? We shall see.

Twitter has moved on with new stuff over the past week, as denoted by the tweets I shared. Niitsu Yui has decided to go on a YouTube series to share the new songs from her upcoming 2nd solo debut album (yeah it's complicated), Chatmonchy's new music video for their last album feels like I'm hyped up on drugs lol, and miwa released another new single song online. Man, the best album is coming soon, people. Have a little patience, yes? *looks at my Apple Music subscription*

In the world of Klassic Note, I'm primed to run a series of posts I'll add to this weekly post on the stuff I intend to discuss since it's an occasion which is important to be personally as a listener. So yeah, we'll start with "The Spirit of Klassic Note", a storytelling and summary of the stuff I experienced and trends seen in my tastes as I embark on the journey to like more Japanese songs haha. Then, maybe more focused posts and hopefully by the end of the year which will be earlier than the one 5 years ago I'll talk about new compilations I've arranged for your listening pleasure. I mean, only I will enjoy my music so... sorry in advance.




To conclude, I would like to share (not that stupid city-building game I was playing, but) the list of DOAXVV girls I've unlocked over the past month and what I would want first. Firstly, what I have now.

Seriously thought I was dumb for not choosing Misaki first considering she's the first character here who doesn't have a fighting background lol, but Kokoro-chan is some level of cute. "Owner-han" hehe. I must say besides... Runa and Honoka I'm not interested in the rest lol. (Okay, maybe Ayane if she lets her hair down) And then, what I want from the other four I haven't gotten my hands on yet.

Tamaki is literally the reason why I clicked on that ad and played this (you should've looked at who voiced it), but hmm problem is she's a paid-only character which is infuriating to say the least but there are free ways to get enough for a spin for cya in 10 years Tamaki-neechan *sob* On the other hand, haven't gotten my hands on Misaki yet. Dammit fu**ing-


Cya guys next week. Or the secondary post for the week, whichever comes first. Those two CDs I was supposed to review too from last month, still in Japan for some reason. I may have to take action soon. Bye.

[P.S. MAL is still down in some portions so I don't bother posting links to reference Anime or voice actors for now]
