The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #22

Ah, another productive weekend without any of my work commitments up my-

Hey, I better treasure this for now because for the whole of next month I think my weekends are gone, literally. Well, what happens when you do in the line of service and maintenance and you can only do stuff when them services are closed. I know, there's a pandemic out there, but that doesn't mean essential services aren't open. Yeah, that's how I still have my job now haha I'm just grateful now

On other news, man that package full of... stuff hasn't arrived yet, but since delivery dates would be slower, I'm not going to blame anyone just that it might just appear tomorrow. Or anytime next week. Or even worse, next weekend. That'll be my biggest worry haha I'll move the laser printer/scanner into my room by then I guess haha

Anime has never stopped impressing me this week, so let's talk about them! Next season Anime is going to be so sh*t I can't even- Haha well it won't be so far it's that "SUGOI DEKAI" girl and rental girlfriend if you know any of them hehe will talk about them end of next month btw

SASSOKU!! lol

アニメ Kakushigoto

"I have a secret. It's the fact that... that there is no party" Haha so he's going to make them to work just to tell them they got no party? Oh well if I'm boss I'll do that too lol

Yeah okay Rasuna-chan you're going with me to the party haha oh I'm not a manga author? *laughs* So yeah, no party guys, corona's out there haha. Well, not in the Anime world to say the least, they get to go to a bar! I'll take that. Really, fancy parties aren't my thing at all. I mean, I'll be darned if I ever get paid for my work, I tell you. Gotta love that pay raise!! Haha okay, story. In this new episode (#Kakushigoto09) where hopefully Hime-chan gets to celebrate Christmas with the father and not get slaved by the editor (looking at you, Tomaruin), so actually the title is even more referencing the Anime we mentioned from last week because that was read similar to "April" instead of "December". Well, I hope you guys love the word puns because we're not done yet! So, it's about the party. I mean, I work for a small company so I won't ask for a party, but you know, as a manga author who has worked his a** for all year in a popular magazine, he/she deserves something in return isn't it? So yeah, not happening. *laughs* According to Tomaruin, the company is cutting costs so is not holding any sort of grand party in a hotel, which is a bummer, but what makes it more of a bummer is the people around the guy who doesn't even care about going. Firstly, the assistants. You know, those future manga authors who might never get this chance of going to a place where they can expose themselves to... good food and drinks in their pathetic lives, haha, but yeah. Not gonna happen, guys. They got too hyped though, so Kakushi decided it be best to keep it a secret from them to keep the motivation going in the workplace, but you know, Tomaruin be the guy who always ruins things somehow, like the actual company party that no one wants to go haha. Then, there's Hime-chan. Since she has never seen a chandelier before but the father did say she did when she was younger (hopefully with the mother around) and thinks that the disco ball is one, Kakushi decide to prove his point this time around, along with bringing up motivation in the workplace, then plans to go with all of them to the party of his previous magazine company, since he was given an invitation too. Same day too. Life sucks too, so why go to the sh*ttier location when you can go in a suit? Haha and so they did, with Hime-chan, almost blew the disguise again because of course, Toma-ruin stuff, get it? *laughs* (I'm sorry this was not a set up I knew when I saw his name that it'll make of a good word pun someday figured out it's today haha) But Hime-chan did get to see the Cinderella as she would have referred to (Cinderella is a woman, dear), the assistants did enjoy the good food, but now Tomaruin is here. Again here to Toma-ruin things. *laughs* He tried to find somebody to scout talent as a member of another rival company and ended up giving his business card to Hime-chan you can guess what happened lol, dropped his cards such that the guys in this company of a party think he was spying on them now haha, and... Kakushi was the scapegoat. F**k you Tomaruin, if you weren't his (only) editor I would have fed you to the dogs by now lmao. So yeah, things kind of settled down with Tomaruin's escape as a "manga artist" lol, and the chief noticing who was getting beaten up haha. But yeah they hanged out too long to be noticed by someone who will give his identity away, so Kakushi drags Hime-chan home despite the short party session. She enjoyed it though. To end the episode, we got another clue of the current state of Gotoh Kakushi. He's not missing. Phew, that's a relief. Thought he was dead or something. But for the assistant who ended up being a bookstore owner in a corner of the town, you would wonder if something happened along the way. I mean, remember Rasuna-chan and the ruin-er (lol) in a fancy apartment? Yeah, Kakushi is definitely alive, but how Hime-chan gets to know the truth... I guess the father broke it silently to her at some point, yes? That, or remember the boxes? Someone may have left a message for her daughter. We shall see more next week this show's comedy level is amazing Rasuna-chan MVP haha

"Chocolate fountain but of tears" lmao this is impressive

Wow the girls do look real good why do I eventually like all the girls in this kind of Anime lol

P.S. "It's those dirty ones that are manga artists" Wow Tomaruin I can beat you into the 90s I tell you haha
P.P.S. "I'm not as cute as Senda-chan" Eh Hime-chan? You know most of us are here because of you right? #PedoAlert haha

アニメ Yesterday wo Utatte

"You really don't remember?" I'm pretty sure if any woman asked that twice you are screwed as a man haha I'm so screwed with my short term memory

But seriously, this scene of Shinako cooking in the kitchen is probably the most she can give you, so give it up, bro. *laughs* Okay maybe the Christmas gift exchange but THAT IS IT lol. So, in this holiday season of a new episode (#YesterdayWoUtatte09) we... are getting busy. Well, they are. Rikuo's working full time for probably all those photo shoots that have to happen before the year ends (ask "Kakushigoto" they know how it feels lol), Haru-chan is busy working every day at the cafe to even be able to walk by his workplace like she did with the convenience store back then, and Shinako... Shinako needs some love haha. Not that, but you know, she has to settle things with Rou-kun first. Well, nothing much to settle to be honest, the kid apologised for his rash actions (on the other hand you should've known Shinako has a weak heart, as in mentally), and Shinako really wants them to be family near into the future, but just not as husband and wife haha. No seriously, stop ruin things bro. *laughs* And then, we get to see the one thing about Haru-chan. Remember last week we said that she'll be the victim of this series? We might already be feeling it right now. Yeah, since she's busy with work and Rikuo's working so far away from his previous workplace, it really becomes hard to you know, talk to the guy you like on a daily basis. Hey, I feel you girl. But instead of giving up like me (lmao I got me), Haru-chan still wants to see him. So once in a while, Rikuo would go visit her in the cafe Haru goes to his place and waits for him for a while to see if he's in, but hey, that guy gotta send his Shinako back to her place after she delivers him food. *laughs* Yeah did I say this is going to suck for Haru-chan? Man, I would hate to see her break down, really. Remember what she was like in Episode 1? I miss that Haru-chan haha. Moving on, everybody's live for Christmas Eve, you know, the day couples enjoy time together. But since Shinako promised his not younger brother childhood friend to play a game of gift exchange like they used to... she said no to the college friends. Yes, even Rikuo. *laughs* But you know, thanks to Rou-kun making it weird before everything was going real well including the gifts or even drawing a portrait of the woman (Fun fact: It takes a professional artist around 10mins to sketch a portrait of someone), he had to tell her to show more skin?? Who do you think Shinako is, Hanazawa Kana? *laughs* (Ugh this is only a joke I know but man, remember when she was topless with a shirt on top her own radio show? I remember) So yeah Shinako just left also in fear of them being alone together what might happen haha yeah I believe you too girl I think the guy is up to no good he probably wants to s*x you the moment he can lmao o~kay. And so, with the night being early... Shinako decided to (not rent a movie but) (man, what year is this?) go see her college friends instead. Good choice, girl. Good choice. So next week, since Christmas (Eve) is not over yet so let's see if there will be sparks happening, if any. Hey, I can be hopeful about this Anime? So don't disappoint me man; "Kaguya-sama" is a real tough show to beat this season haha

Okay gotta admit "you-forgot-our-past-together" face Shinako is cute hehe

Kya~ Chooo kawaiiiiii haha sorry Shinako

P.S. "What does Shinako-sensei think of Rikuo?" Oh girl SHE'S IN IT haha well not like Haru-chan knows
P.P.S. "People are so nice when it's the exam season" Haha yeah Rou that's probably why Shinako's at your place and making you bento lol

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?

"This new student council... has the most toxic environment" Haha narrator you have never been more right

"Please learn from Fujiwara" I'm like when is she a model example of anything in this series? *laughs* Man, is this going to be a real war haha I was here for "love war" man not "school ethics war" lol. In this new episode (#KaguyaSama08) of this still fabulous series, I promise you Miko-chan if anyone blasts music or plays video games out loud in front of my face I'll beat him up before you even get angry haha. But seriously, is this what the guys do in the room? Play MarineKart?? *laughs* Ah, the life haha. So, man, is this episode winning like, all the Anime I've watched in a decade lol. Let's talk about why. Firstly, Miko-chan breaking the rules. Hey, normally it'll happen if some guy in a shoujo manga comes to tell the strictest of girls to break the rules every once in a while, but too bad this isn't that so we're not getting it, but it's close enough. Fujiwara suggested, as a consequence of many things beforehand (lmao Ishigami I might say he could at least just keep up appearances a bit- Am I doing a Miko-chan now? OMG haha), the senpai of hers suggested to break the rules every once in a while to understand the reasons behind why doing that feels great, as also suggested by Ishigami himself lol. So, upon her idolised senpai, she decided to keep her mouth shut for an hour and see how bad just the Student Council room can get. Well, you can watch it yourself, but suffice it to say I kind of like sadist Miko-chan lol, and yeah I'll probably give Ishigami detention right about now haha. Turns out, this serves as a way for Kaguya to learn about something new of social media which she would have never learn at home or elsewhere (looking at you, Twitter in the show from last season lol), and also giving Fujiawara a blackmail chance on her kouhai so now she can sh*t on them or else her super cute selfies will go online. Hey, Miko-chan, if you want them online please do tell haha. Next up, why I said what I said in the front of this long paragraph. They did give a solid intro to the scene though, but man, yeah it's your typical stuck-in-the-sports-equipment-room thing again. Hey, if it works for stories 20 years ago it'll still work today amirite?? *laughs* So yeah, the joke here is that, since it's "Love War" if you can remember the alternative title, the two believe that both have set up for the door to be stuck on each other so they can you know, get on top of each other? HELL YEAH haha ah not yet? Oh yeah. But yeah, just as the narrator described, that they now believe they are trying to put upon an aggressive attack on each other so that they can get the other to fall in love with them. So yeah, just like the narrator described. You guys want to do it already? At least we'll get something out of tonight lmao. Wait, I meant call for help; what do you think I was thinking about? *laughs* Despite their wonderful acting, inside them are probably bursting with excitement which is great but it's not showing on their faces which is kind of a problem, and thanks to Miko-chan who came to save them Kaguya because Shirogane is a perv lol, I think the kouhai should just quit the Student Council haha this place really is too corrupted and I don't mean like monetary corruption or politics. Last but not least, the doctor. Yeah, I saw the preview screens too about Kaguya collapsing on the ground, and with the introduction of the famous doctor- Excuse me, one of the top 10 doctors in Japan, I really thought we're going to get like a "Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai" type of ending but.... nope. *laughs* You can look at the postscripts to see how desperate I got haha, but suffice it to say... Kaguya-sama was healthy with a healthy heart without any holes whatsoever lmao unlike her mother but you know, as tsundere as the girl is, she refuses to believe that. So yeah, now the whole hospital knows the rich man's girl is an idiot. *laughs* Yeah, or "lovesickness", as we call it. *laughs* But seriously man, if this is going to get her more trips to the hospital, whether she is going out with the guy or not, the father's going to take notice at some point so... play around with love in moderation, yes? Haha ah I love this series too bad it's only going to get worse. Kaguya's lovesickness, I mean haha. Although I would argue that unless (1) Shirogane tries to be more aggressive at some point considering Kaguya knows little to nothing about love and (2) Kaguya starts to take into light the fact that she cannot control her emotions with regards to love... we might never get an ending out of this. There, I said it. Kaguya-sama, if you have comments please PM me directly on Twitter I'll be glad to explain to you what is happening to you all night lol Shirogane might kill me for this BUT I DON'T CARE lol let's see what they can cook up next week

Seriously, I wonder why they can't put her as anything else in Student Council other than "financial auditor" lol they don't trust Ishigami at all? lol

MFW people don't think this Anime is good lol

P.S. "Get a hold of yourself!" *slaps table* Wow didn't know yakuza Miko-chan can be this good lmao is she slightly sadist by any chance? haha
P.P.S. "...choose a more appropriate time and place to display it (your love towards each other)!!" Aw man, Miko-chan, the problem is that THIS is the only place where they can ichaicha haha Kaguya please don't kill me "I believe you are suffering from lovesickness" HAHA EVEN THE DOCTOR KNOWS lmao "She's kind of contradicting herself" "Doctor, I believe that's what they call 'tsundere' these days" roflmfao even the nurse knows Kaguya how dumb can you get Hayasaka is already quivering over at the corner here
[Okay NOW I gotta find out what that soundtrack was in the "I'm on top of you" scene haha never gotten this hyped over Anime soundtrack since I removed it from Song Awards lol]

Hayasaka when I tickle her c-

Final year in college/uni be like (haha)
...wait wait let me try again. *ahem*
Second year Three months in full-time job be like (lmao)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm, this must be in weeks of not hearing artists we are familiar of, and we're continuing the trend from last week too to be honest. I got bored at work (lol) so I went to give a listen to some music videos during lunch (yes) (even when I stay at home there are... self-determined lunch breaks), and two managed to leave an impression. Thanks to Skream.jp once again, I've also in consequence reviewed two albums which definitely made this week way more entertaining than usual. Eve's latest album from this year is... as I said on Twitter, ORESAMA in style but you switch the vocalist to the one in Cider Girl haha. No really, go give the whole album a listen. I only gave the one music video though since it's different in melody from the others, obviously. uminecosounds' new album is their newest from 6 years ago apparently, and coincidentally I caught on to their album release which is also this week ie. Wednesday, which is great, I didn't have to wait long haha. Overall... reminds me of Yogee New Waves more than anything else, but a little more mellow since this album is mostly more relaxed than what Yogee New Waves can come out with, and for me today it's not great haha I like livelier songs more to be honest. Nonetheless, I gave more than one song compared to Eve, so I guess it's better? Haha and last but not least, Anime "Kakushigoto" Image Album featuring the ending theme song which I reviewed instead of Ootaki Eiichi's best album (don't you dare try a Suzuki Masayuki on me, you two), I ended up listening to more variations of the song than I could ever- the original is the best haha. No seriously, the cute and fast-paced versions aren't any better considering the pitch changes for all female alternate versions in this case. All release this week I have no interest for a follow-up haha

On news concerning the universe and above that isn't something racist (sigh), yay LuckLife's music library is on subscription services now including Spotify and Apple Music (Japan) because thanks Lantis, I hope you have watched the KING SUPER ONLINE LIVE 2020 yesterday which is just a live compilation of the artist under the label for the past couple of years which feature Uesaka Sumire, Horie Yui and Minase Inori amongst those who are still around lol, and I love Sangatsu no Phantasia's new music video and song. And it's not because yuiko was writing the lyrics hehe no really when is next album Mia-san

So next week, so far it's only tacica's new single (pronounced "ta-shi-ka" haha) which is slated for release which I have listened quite a lot over the past... well this month since it's about to end haha, but hopefully next month will be more than this single to be honest. Not that tacica is not good; I just need to find more songs to listen I guess haha it's going to be Akarin's new album from the week after in circulation all June lol not really




Yeah I'll promise to share more on Twitter, really. Maybe not in Japanese because it's normally harder, but I'll see which way is easier because sometimes it is easier to just type "kawaii" then have to explain how good this song is or whatever lol. On Animal Crossing news, stamp collecting in the museum is boring as heck, I finally got rid of my 3rd villager Huck because I need to reduce the number of shorties in my island and only Flurry is cute haha, and... I don't know there isn't much to the game now tbh I wish I can host some activities to play with the villagers like a not single person hide-and-seek game? *laughs* Next month is already exciting with that one big box coming in very soon to start the month haha hopefully it'll make me happy with all the workload in the following weeks. Cya guys next time then, and until then... somehow my weekend "entertainment" is, besides watching live or not live gameplay, is doing up my GitHub Pages site, so be sure to drop in once in a while to see what I'm playing with. No third-party JavaScript libraries unless otherwise necessary so to train my thinking and programming skills while I'm at it. Yeah, I guess I like working as a programmer haha bye then

P.S. Still thinking of how to sort out my YouTube playlist by (1) checking if they are still valid to watch at least from my region ie. not Japan and USA and (2) arranging the list such that the top is always latest I've listened to the bottom is all the archived ones which may or may not be old because artists be releasing all their music video content on YouTube now. All this while still be able to keep all of them on the list? I need something more than a Python script that I designed years ago man...

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #21

Okay now I'm kinda worried the items on the warehouse is going to expire soon and the last package hasn't arrived yet someone please tell me how

Oh, I'm referring to the next big surprise I have for myself but it's more like a bomb at this point I'm spending so much money I don't even care. We'll talk about that soon maybe next month, but for now you can read the previous one which I talked about tour pamphlets ie. the most profitable thing they have done to ensure idolism is in order haha. No really, you can buy an album worth of songs for that price. Well I guess those guys who do go to the live tours are dumb so whatever haha

Talking about dumb, we have a lot to laugh to this week. Mainly me because I'm laughing like an idiot haha great shows this season man what can I say

アニメ Kakushigoto

"She has saved her life" Oh come on, I'm pretty sure with this adaptation Hime-chan has saved many more lives than she would have expected haha

Well even the dog's name was a word pun haha gotta "gotouroku" that in haha. In the new episode of Anime that Kakushi gets to stab himself in the chest again (#Kakushigoto08) (lol with the "don't hide thing from me" thing to the daughter when he's the joke), Hime-chan starts to worry if the family needs a stepmother. Uh oh. *laughs* Firstly, we talk about the dog. The point that I used "the dog" to refer to the new pet in the house which came in through suspicious reasons (ahem) means that they didn't give it a name yet. And yeah, that's kinda bad. To be attached to the pet means giving it a name, and even though it only lasts a decade, this is still rather necessary. And... Hime-chan didn't think of one somehow, oh well. *laughs* (start reading from this paragraph again lol) But you know, it works, calling a dog a rock haha. Next, a new member joins the detective squad Hime-chan made a new friend. *laughs* Kayo-san I would saw you be careful to let your own curiosity get over you, but suffice it to say thanks to Hime-chan she won't be a lonely transfer student after all. You know, they hang out together now. Isn't what friends were for like this? I mean, I don't even remember my days as a student where I hang out at other people's places... no seriously. *laughs* *gets flashbacks* Anyways, with the discussion and all in the office, we now know that Tomaruin only gives sh*t to the magazine's anniversary because he's an editor, Rasuna-chan drew a flash mob in Chapter 100 of the series for Kakushi lol, and... Hime-chan was hiding something from him. Haha okay it isn't much definitely not a confession that she has to reject lol, but suffice it to say Hime-chan knows what it feels to have to celebrate stuff every year. I mean, tell those otakus who are celebrating their favourite Anime characters with like a ritual in their homes posted on Twitter and tell me Hime-chan if your birthday is worth celebrating. *laughs* So yeah, the dad will do anything to make the daughter happier, so he promises to get her friends over to celebrate next time. Will he break the promise though? Well this isn't Kaguya-sama and the father so probably not. *laughs* So Kakushi had to improve his cooking, because karaage is so important in birthdays he gotta invite a female chef to teach him at his place. Oh no Hime-chan it's not like this she's just here to teach him; He pays her for her services! Ah- *laughs* And as with previous episode, we end with the reality check, with Tomaruin still around with Rasuna for some damn reason (F**K OFF TOMARUIN haha), Hime-chan realises how similar her old house is to her current one. Or is it the current one? It's for sale already though. They may have moved again. But one thing is for sure: we know the dad raised her real well. *laughs* Okay a bit obvious, but seeing as the others were relaxing in an abode and he's not here "at work", we know what happened to him HE GOT FAMOUS!! Congrats Kakushi, this is TOTALLY worth celebrating- Ah, it's not? We gotta wait for the 1000th chapter? Come on. *laughs* But yep, as we can see so far, the lore is going to hit us real soon. My guess for now, is that it's about how fathers are overprotective of their daughters, from Kakushi to his daughter, to his father-in-law to his daughter, who passed away ie. the mother. I guess we'll find out soon enough. I think my assumption that the dad's still alive might be getting myself into trouble hehe

That box is going to hit me real quick, I tell you
(Writes "The 30s")

No one is going to make this joke so I will do it.
(Ahem) Me-Kakushi. Get it? Covered eyes? The guy's name is...
I'll see myself out haha

P.S. "In order to surpass my ink work from my draft, I just have to lower my level of drafts" Okay, genius, slow down. *laughs*
P.P.S. "I think celebrating every fifth or tenth anniversary is enough" Hey what do you know, Klassic Note is on its way to success- Okay it's just me haha
[I look at the next episode title and the last quote that was said and I can't even (FYI title is a reference to "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" and the last quote talks about how manga artists are all lolicons... well if you're one in Kirara Fantasia magazine I'm pretty sure you are haha)]

アニメ Yesterday wo Utatte

"An opportunity that will never happen twice..." I know right? Well Rikuo you are just out of luck bro haha "Unbelievable" OH COME ON haha

And then they start canoodling outside of the apartment such that the whole floor knows about it- Haha not going to happen you be glad she's even inviting you inside the house, bro. *laughs* In this new exciting episode (#YesterdayWoUtatte08) WE. ARE. GETTING. LAID!!! Haha probably not, but it's a good start, I'll tell you that. But yeah, it left as soon as it arrived, this hype train. *laughs* Let's talk about drama, shall we? I know, and I don't even give two sh*ts about TV drama haha. So, the story so far. Story goes that Rikuo still doesn't know how Kana-chan Shinako's room looks like anyways, because you know, she still didn't have the courage to do so. I know right shoutout to the shitting on the two of them from their friends haha. So, let's talk about what happened to them then. Firstly, about Rikuo himself. His career in photography just took off, where he gets to do this job at the photo studio full-time which made him have to quite his part-time job at the convenience store. Good for him, yes? His life is finally taking flight. But his mistake here is obviously, he didn't break the news to the people around him, specifically Shinako and Haru-chan, of course.  Shinako probably doesn't mind but we'll get to that later, but Haru-chan man, she's very close to punching the person she likes haha. So, about Haru-chan. She gets lonely not being able to spend her everyday with him at the convenience store even if it's just to see him for a while, so now she's just getting desperate. It's not pushy, but we can see she's lonely. That's something to remember because since we may be heading in a different direction and that doesn't involve Haru, this is starting to feel a lot like "Toradora!" since she's going to be the likely victim of the next blooming relationship, I would think. So now, about Shinako. She... I mean, the point that she is always relieved about status quo, I would say, just like Rikuo, she doesn't like progress in relationships to any extent. Because aren't friends great? Looking after each other, hanging out and stuff, without the burden of being attached... I get you, girl. But as we have seen from last week, there seems to be more than what she wants out of her trying to maintain such a balance while still satisfying her own inner peace, I would argue. I know that sounds harsh, and something is going to hit her hard soon enough, but hey, that's why this show is good at cooking that drama. We just watch it happen. *laughs* Which is why just watching this episode alone I genuinely think that Shinako is really just scared of hurting the people around her. Man, girl, love is selfish, you can't do what you want and not hurt others. That's what love is. Also, if Rikuo's not popular why would you even want him? Like, look at me. *silence* *bangs head on wall* Moving on!! *laughs* So, to her own answer of wanting to see Rou-kun again after that one hug on the streets which I swear no one saw it haha not even the father, they meet again. Well, Shinako went to his place like the usual so... I guess it's fine? Haha we shall see about that. And Rou-kun, please don't scare your dear senpai away. Please, I beg you. But in case he doesn't, Shinako? Prepare to run while you still can this guy may not be convinced at you maintaining status quo and may be aggressive about this so run when you need to okay? I can only but watch from the mirror of your lives over here haha. To end this off, serious talk, do you think Hanazawa Kana is such a person in real life? Did this character hit her so hard she's going to re-live her 20s?? *laughs* Okay cya next week

Me when I get those Kana-chan bromides next month haha SO HYPE

MFW I actually still like Kana-chan after all these years lol

P.S. "You talked about your problems with him because you trust him, right?" Yeah when they become a listening ear long enough you guys can be together haha. That is... uh... not how my life panned out haha I feel like I've been used- Wow this sensei friends knows a lot she definitely gets f**ked by guys a lot lmao
P.P.S. "I was about to say that was what Nonaka (Haru) said but" But you want him right?? Then JUST DO IT man you don't have to hold back hehe
[Okay Haru-chan was so good this episode I think she deserves some screens don't you agree?]

This is the "see he's working so hard" face hehe
(Seriously wondering if anyone looked at me like this before haha I doubt so)

That's the "why you ignoring me" face haha
(Seriously I want to GIF this part but it's too small to see so I didn't)

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?

"UNDERWEAR!!" Thank goodness I wasn't drinking something haha wtf

"You're a briefs man" Okay just as a secret between us and/or to myself? Now I'm TOTALLY doing to buy those new boxer briefs so I can have my balls not be strangled everyday haha ok TMI Chika-chan be aroused already lol. In this new episode of (#KaguyaSamaS207) whatever this joke show is about, I think I'm not buying those new underwear haha. Thanks, Ishigami. *laughs* And... I think we have to ban this episode from airing haha. Why though? Let's talk about it. I think, we should try talking about this episode from Miko-chan's perspective haha. I don't know, why she has to walk in on all this whatever situations? I thought the Student Council was a clean place that offered s*itty love advice and cheats in elections? *laughs* Let's see... that is four times Miko-chan failed to walk in to talk about serious stuff. First one was when Kaguya learnt that that boxer briefs are worn by... uh, I mean, I think I'm the weird one too already wearing briefs so I won't say too much (sorry dad) (haha), so whatever the standpoint is, Kaguya wants to see it. That guy's undercarriage. *laughs* Okay maybe just the cloth but still. She asked him directly too. But seriously Shirogane, your first reply is "you mean for men or for women", bro. Can't even answer such a simple question. *laughs* And so, since his assumption is about female underwear... I mean, we know his firs impression has already gone to the drains down to the sewers and beyond, and he did shout it out when Miko-chan was walking in so... I wonder what type she wears? Haha no please I'm not a paedophile I meant it as a joke. The next time Miko-chan composed herself to walk into the Student Council room, the two Presidents were on top of each other. I mean, I will run until I'm out of the school premises even if it means getting punished, I tell you. *laughs* How did that happen? I mean, wouldn't been great if Kaguya enjoyed it more but Shirogane technically is suffering from whatever bull force this girl has lol, and I thought Kaguya isn't into se- MOVING ON!! *laughs* The third time (yes 3rd time now) Miko-chan tried to walk into the Student Council room again after being totally scarred at the morals of the Student Council and she's still the Morals Commitee President mind you, the guys were reading a shoujo manga that is popular and probably started with Shirogane's sister Kei. I mean, if it's a real tearjerker why isn't it selling like hotcakes in real life? *dabs* Ok besides getting them with this joke, the guys were trying to convince the last member of the Student Council who hasn't read it yet: Miko-chan Kaguya-sama. And so, of course, normally in order to make a convincing argument especially to someone who doesn't even like manga, they had to spoil it. Haha and that's where things took a real turn lol. They had to shut her mouth up, Chika-chan, so... Miko-chan saw it and took it upon herself to save her? I don't know. I would just run and try again tomorrow haha. So, the fourth time is when she came back with a stick (refer to Anime "Kakushigoto" on uses for that thing lol) to stop those two guys and... I guess they also spoiled it so we're good now. *laughs* Hey if you aren't in tears right now not from reading the shoujo manga which will never publish but tearing from all these jokes you are not human haha. And to end this episode... goddamn did they adapt a shoujo manga real quick even with the voices wtf narrator not you too!?? *laughs* Okay I'm done haha cya guys next week it is not fake though they just shoujo manga-fied it lol I knew the two guys would end up going to the aquarium together

I didn't expect to see this in this series so... haha

I didn't expect to see this in this series too so... haha

P.S. "This episode is sponsored by Apple Siri: Where you tell it facts so that it will work." Haha okay just a joke seriously Tim Cook don't come sue me now
P.P.S. "I have to look at President's (Shirogane) underwear!" O~kay I'm calling the cops haha "I'm just a pervert!" Haha you don't say
[TL:DR; I think Miko-chan's pure heart has been scarred and is now re-considering joining the Student Council lmao "too pure pure girl" haha]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week on Klassic Note... well I've been apprehensive probably burnt out at work, so I've not been trying to give new songs, but I did though. Like, uh, today? *laughs* flumpool's new album is uh, okay? I won't say that, but as I listen to the album I want to give them chance since they have many songs with good choruses in this very large album to be honest, but failed on many due to reasons I think I've mentioned in Klassic Note Review until I don't even want to say haha. I'll give a couple more songs from the Anime theme song that led me here, that's for sure. Sayuri's new song for Anime "Yesterday wo Utatte" was... whole songs was okay to be frank, but really not much compared to the first theme song, I guess. Try harder, Sayuri, haha. On the other hand, she is releasing an acoustic compilation next month so if you are listening to her music unlike me be sure to go listen to her as if she sings on the streets. Yeah, she's YUI in the 2010s haha

On news this week, Taketatsu Ayana surprised us with a new song when she also suddenly started her first ever Instagram live (yes I'm in that damn place now please stop following me), Ryokuoushoku Shakai released the second half of their live from last year which I still didn't watch the first half because I forgot lol, and GLIM SPANKY is releasing more live footage that I haven't watched so I did catch up on that one. Eh, again, burnt out, and totally ruined by other YouTube videos which are better played in the background so.... oh and Sayuri's music videos are mostly online now so if you still can't afford a Spotify or Apple Music subscription... haha

So for next week, I'll likely be giving the special single from Anime "Kakushigoto" for ending theme sung by Ootaki Eiichi which I said I'll be giving this instead of actually giving his anniversary album since there's this option haha, so there's that. Otherwise... I think I need to spend some time going on a trip. MOSHIMO did me well a couple of weeks ago, figured I should go find more next week. It's a public holiday tomorrow here, so I guess I should.




So hopefully I can catch up to whatever I want to do next week mainly tomorrow since it's a public holiday, so most of the time will still be trying to get that database going such that data storage and analysis can happen more easily (SQL FTW), and also trying to arrange more stuff around the PC considering I upgraded the OS early this year. Surprisingly my folder arrangement is still good enough it doesn't require much change, but you know, move the folders around a bit wouldn't hurt haha. Cya guys next time then, and until then... I'm glad Anime is part of my life now. Even if I don't have the time to listen to soundtracks like what I do a decade ago, or go dig footage of live events or whatsoever, I still have the time every week to watch the latest episodes. That, I'm still grateful I can still watch more than 1 show per season, I tell you. So yeah, like your Anime while you're still into them, that's the advice haha bye

The Eleventh Book Worth of Photos(?): Not Photobook Edition Plus! Zeroth Book Worth of Photos

Yes, we are not near the end, it seems.

This time around, of course, I did say we're done with photobooks, and that still holds true today, but we're not going to review photobooks we're going to review live tour pamphlets!!! Haha I got you, didn't I? *laughs* Anyways, I thought I'd also take you guys on a short journey back in time, to when I also, got a taste of this about 4 years ago that is not Asakura Momo, but of Komatsu Mikako. Let's talk about them, shall we?

Like, seriously I got the package right after lunch this has been sitting on my room for an afternoon you know how hard it is to focus when you work from home?? Haha just joking I don't care there's no cleavage too lmao




THE "REVIEWS"

Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus"

Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"

Origin: I'll talk about Mocho here first, I guess. Asakura Momo, as you would have known her by now which I assume you saw her photobook which I reviewed, is more than just defying the definitions of ero-kawaii haha. She's cute, she's clumsy, and has rack. You couldn't ask for a more stereotypical Anime character than her- Oh we're talking about real life? Haha I thought she wasn't a voice actress and totally gravure level standards by now. Still, it's not just that which will make any of us like her, I assure, but whatever you are going to see if still as of now, her greatest asset.

As to why I managed to be able to get this considering normally you have to be AT the location of the lives to be able to even buy them (while stocks last), her talent company MusicRay'n outsources their tour goods sale to online platform HMV Japan (sounds familiar?) which is in collaboration with Lawson, quite a large company in Japan itself famous for its chain of convenience stores. So, typically, these things will be sold off like hotcakes, meaning I will have ZERO CHANCE to get anything anyways so I just don't, but this time around, as you have seen, outside is in quite a disaster, so live performances in this case have to be cancelled or delayed. So what will happen to the goods which are already made? They opened up an online store to sell them, and here we are. I assumed I just got lucky to pounce on it first (pounce on her, more like), so I think I just got a second chance to get what I like, to be honest.

However, this is not with what I did years ago, when Komatsu Mikako got her turn for a live tour due to the release of a new album after change of music label (in which she is in now) TOY'S FACTORY, and opening her own online store (yes just for herself, Mocho is part of TrySail's store) back in 2016 she sold stuff that will make me want to burn all my money away. I think I did not show much of it here because I don't think the pamphlet is great? Let's take a trip down then, 4 years after it has stayed at my room.


But before all this, UNBOXING- I'm just kidding, we'll skip through that stuff and talk about them separately.

Ah, this cuteness...

Yes, this. Since I was intending to buy some bromide photos which they don't have, I decided to play along with their tour goods gacha, a common thing to see in such live events where you play to have a chance to win whatever is listed on the machine itself. Here's what the potential prizes were:

I wanted those badges since I don't think I would want anything practical (I mean, what am I to do with the tape?? lol), and I got it, so I'm glad I got what I wanted. Yes, and that is two badges in one, by the way. Already worth the purchase. I thought of getting another just in case my luck isn't great like the last time I bought something from Mikakoshi's shop (I... only bought one and it's literally one. One Polaroid photo. Of half her face haha wtf), but I guess I don't have to with Mocho on the line. You're the best hehe

[Also, will be doing this differently and skipping all interviews/Q&As just to show you nothing but beauty haha I'm tired from work to do the translations]

パンフレット Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus"

You see where I put that finger? Hehe

Well, so much for listing all the dates inside this book which they cannot remove lol

You don't know how much I want to start a romantic day with her so bad haha

The many faces of Mocho

Okay this is a lot more than 4 haha tell me what you like most mine is middle right

Not going to translate this but if you can read it go ahead

When they don't have enough budget to get pants for the photo shoot
(You know, just don't wear anything) (lol)

I want to be the teddy bear haha

Hmm, nice mood, I like

This is it, her and selfies are just perfect, I tell you

I'm not good at photography Mocho so I'm not doing it

That protrusion, really...

Really, that slight bump out is where my fantasies are at haha

Many questions in that interview but when I see Mocho lying on it...

Offshots!! Again, I want to be the teddy bear haha second is the camera lol

Perfection.

So all in all, not many pages compared to a photobook, and yes they charge a lot for these things. But as I read through the interview of her being hyped and all, too bad all this isn't happening to say the least (I mean, look outside), but I'm still glad I got to see some shots. Boob shots, that is. Haha again she doesn't have much of a rack have you seen Uesaka Sumire? *laughs*

PLUS!!!

Since I think I shared the calendar which is part of the set, let's show a little of the other thing that is in the set which just... brushed through my mind lol sorry Mikakoshi! Happy marriage btw this is for you haha

パンフレット Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"

Very small portrait compared to the Mocho one, I tell you
(FYI Inorin's upcoming one doesn't even have her as the cover lol why)

Yes, the HAPIKOSHI event is actually held at her birthday, on 11th November

All the budget went into the balloons haha

I want to be the balloon hehe

In case you want to read the Q&A here you go

In case you didn't realise the chair's correctly upright and she's lying down

THIS.

In case you didn't know, music producers group Q-MHz was behind her music career revival back in 2016.

I feel so aroused and I don't know why haha

That's her playing with the balloons because they have a lot more left lol

And in case you wonder why I say this book isn't great see how much white space there is in this one page

I want to be the balloon- we did that joke haha

You can read this if you want haha I'm just lazy now

Ah, good time to talk about what was sold back then. I, uh, as mentioned above for Mocho, went for the photos to the left and the calendar... and pamphlet set because I can't just get the calendar, that's why I have this. Now you know.

So yeah, balloons. I mean, I've got a boner already so they win haha okay just joking Mikakoshi is just a beauty in herself, don't you agree? But as you can see, it's not much. Which is also half the reason why I didn't talk about it. Then again, Mocho's is also similar considering there's only two outfits and the theme of the shoot is pretty much the same for both. Yeah, seeing a pattern here?




So there you have it. I think you already know this is a huge waste of money just for them to earn the heck out of idolism good as possible from us, which is great considering that this is nothing compared to what I'm going to get in the next couple of months. Upcoming packages include (1) my break of promise on buying photos off online sites since the last time I visited an auction site and (2) probably part 2 of this but this time around without any pamphlets so just photos, starring Waki Azumi and Minase Inori. Yes. idolism part 2, baby! I mean, when isn't it? Look at this tag and tell me when is "Everyday Life" not about any of these? *laughs* Cya guys next time then, and I hope this is some fuel for me to go through the rest of the week THANK GOODNESS for that Public Holiday in lieu next Monday amirite??? Haha bye
