The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #39

Yeah, I'm going to spoil here real quick, Anime "KanoKari" and "Uzaki-chan" both have sequels in place after their final episodes aired on Friday. Yeah. So yay, congrats, I guess. Now I'm going to join all those weebs in watching stuff that they never get bored with and never giving new series a chance lol just joking look at the next season preview I'm giving new stuff.

Anyways, that package is coming soon, I only realised I'm due to ship already a day after all of the individual packages arrived, so you know, won't do much of a difference because this forwarding service international shipping fees is kind of a ripoff (I miss Suruga-ya already haha), and even then it'll take weeks to arrive. So... I opted for the slightly cheaper rate since I'm going to miss that single review for the month already haha Nan-chan~

So, Anime, I guess. And considering how things go for next season ie. most of them will start from next week, there will be no break then. To, you know, catch up on manga or movies or whatever because I'm lazy and I want to continue making that profile list page on GitHub haha okay let's watch Anime

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"We have people looking at us..." And then Cynthia's colleague be like OMG haha why she can't have someone to like her? Geez...

Wow, right up into pace, the team is already working rounds in London. As expected of the team with Laurent in it haha Makoto you still sour about this? *laughs* In this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER12) of James Coleman which is definitely not that skinny guy you see in the intro because it's fat af haha, he's sleeping with an old woman. *laughs* Okay, who knows what about James' marriage life so I wouldn't ask, but hey, he's living the life right now. But man, is this so far the best episode of the series because CYNTHIA!!! Haha man, her in love is too good how did they make the best woman in an- oh this is original Anime. *laughs* So, story. Firstly, about Coleman. He's an art appraiser. He's an auctioneer. He does this thing every so once in a while, and somehow certain paintings are always bought by this rich woman Fara. But it's not just that, because besides having a secret art gallery which Makoto and Kudo managed to enter to see the sights (as well as plant a listening device), it's also the place where she keeps her... lover's most prized possessions. Yes, coincidentally, it's James here. I know. Unbelievable, right? But hey, you gotta lie you gotta lie. *laughs* So as you can see, and as Laurent pointed out, James likes the paintings he likes being kept in good hands which is not him because he can't afford it anyways, and Fara is after... whatever his charm is I don't know. He's a good liar? *laughs* Anyways, as we have found out soon enough, things are starting to pick up from the team's side to sort of, have a hold of his life and situation. To, you know, do whatever drunk Cynthia wants out of this heist haha. I guess it's selling the painting again at a high price, right? So yeah, Laurent went into the auction, crashed it by buying out the Snow of London at 30 million pounds (that is a a lot of money FYI) literally robbing it away from Fara who then got a scolding from her... "art advisor" lol (really the husband believed it?) (yes apparently she's not single?), but also, is the start of their plan. Mainly (1) to sell it to Fara while earning money from it ie. make a fake painting so effectively they got it back for free and (2) make James furious such that Abbie can get a job under him? Haha, spying or whatever, it worked for the latter, which of course, we will see that be of use at some point. For now, it's not enough to ruin James' career, but we will soon, I'll promise you that. Then, the flashbacks, for Cynthia. First arc we had Makoto. Second arc, we had Abbie. Now, it's her turn. And like her, we don't know many of her story. Story goes that there is this painter, who sells replicas for survival, saw this beautiful woman at the local cafe. I mean, I agree Thomas, that if I were a painter in London and saw such a beauty? I'll ask her to model for my artwork. *thumbs up* So yeah, as you can see, as time passes, they sort of got involved in each other's lives, making and selling artwork, trying to live by. I legit thought the ring was for them, but nope, or else this would be even more exciting consdering how Cynthia is effectively single right now. *laughs* Anyways, they aren't living the life just yet, especially Thomas, and it was not until James Coleman appearing in their lives that made a difference. So finally, how this ties all together. Sadly, what is between Thomas and Cynthia is not an affair or whatever thing yet unlike with James. Well, not yet anyways haha. But, the two kind of tied together mainly because, instead of Thomas' work of drawing Cynthia selling for money (which man, I'll buy them, AND her haha), James saw excellent potential in Thomas... making counterfeit artwork. Uh oh. We got an evil villain on our hands. Because so far, we know of his reputation as a man of art, so whatever he approves will literally be the actual work, or - hear me out - an actual facsimile. Yes, this guy's playing dirty now. Surprisingly though, he may not be able to tell the difference. Because since he said he can be deceived by Thomas' replication of artwork, Cynthia (today) probably thinks she can deceive him again. So yeah, I guess we're going in that direction now. What happens next? Man, I just want more wholesome love stories of Cynthia. But yeah, I better brace myself for the breakup and/or her relationship with James just in case haha thank goodness this isn't like Sam from the previous arc who is NOT straight haha bye

James Coleman might not appreciate this but I think this is a work of art on a work of art
(I got no money to buy this though haha)

lol

P.S. "You wouldn't understand, Abbie." Haha man this context and Makoto you're asking for a beating

P.P.S. "You're a virgin after all, aren't you??" Well Cynthia if you meant in painting works of art, yes. Otherwise... *laughs*

[Cynthia fever I guess I genuinely think she's a great Anime woman haha]

To be frank Cynthia went from this...

...to this real quick haha I like

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

"Did you just say you (Sakurai) would do anything?" Uh oh. *laughs*

And then you realise Uzaki-chan is always finding you, Sakurai, because.. you're the only one she knows. Well, knows well. Her other friends do not count if they don't appear in this animation lmao. In this final episode of the season (#UzakiChan12) because I believe you've read the first paragraph of this post lol, last week's ending was a farce. *laughs* Oh well, really thought she was pregnant or something haha you know she can't sit on the floor anymore or something because it'll be hard to get up. *giggles* Anyways, I'm those guys who cheer when Uzaki big chests appear in the swimming club as managers lol this is going to turn into a porno in a minute haha. So, story, I guess? I mean, it is the final episode (for now), so I wonder what's going on. Turns out, they gotta spice it up, right? *prepares rice cooker* So let's talk about it. *laughs* So, I assume, in this Anime filler of a final episode, we talk about the past, and get drunk. Man, isn't this life though? Firstly, more flashbacks. Well, thanks to Ami-chan asking about Uzaki's past, we now know more about her first encounter with the senpai. For starters, she wasn't initially swimming in the club. She's supposedly just in as a manager along with her (then) friend (lol) who dragged her into helping out the swimming club because you know, the girl wants her senpai. Hey, guess who also got her senpai down the line. *laughs* Yeah, friend I hope you got laid because Hana-chan did- Ah. *laughs* And yes, it really sounds like she has been changing her tone and kind of, you know, losing her own tone in conversation nowadays and sounding like Sakurai, at least, from an outsider's perspective. I guess you get influenced by peoples' tones once you hang out long enough with them anyways. I only get my influences from YouTube videos lmao. Then, Sakaki recalls Sakurai being drunk. Well, he doesn't really now because he knows it sucks (the toilet trip, I assume), so as matured as he is in responsible drinking, he controls himself. So yeah, since Uzaki wants to break him (haha), the friend rats on him and teaches him a way to break down his defences. So drink at home, don't give him water to dilute his drinking, and since Uzaki gets drunk easily, pretend to drink along. Haha NOW we can get him drunk lmao. *gets a bowl of rice and sits down* Now for the fun part. *laughs* So yeah, nothing much happens as Sakaki described, since drunk Sakurai is just sloppy, he talks little and is very tired. So yeah, not very entertaining compared to Uzaki-chan, of course. On top of that, his words make of a very embarrassed Uzaki, so she might as well be drunk anyways, is what I assume she was doing after hearing about whatever "love" thing that is going on in Sakurai's mind haha. Sakaki drops by to see what happened unlike Ami-chan (lol hey don't say you weren't invited haha), and puts them to sleep for the night because you know, it's kinda late. And in case you didn't see the official Twitter spoiler screenshots until you watched it yourself notice why the camera angles for both of them are so close up, it's because they can't reveal until the next morning that they... remember Sakurai only had one bed at his place? Yeah, it's big enough to fit two people now. *laughs* *gets another bowl of rice and chopsticks* So yeah, that was quite a night. And as Uzaki thought she can do this experiment again (without thinking that how bad this will hurt anyone's liver), Sakurai reminds her that summer vacation's over, bitch. *laughs* And that's it, actually. I know there's the last part where *empties bowl and refills* but you get the idea. This Anime's so good with plain rice lmao okay that's not the point. The point is that this series, apart from the joke that is Uzaki x Sakurai, is probably just the interactions between the characters, the mood, and overall, what this slice-of-life wants to represent: going outdoors. I know this is real irrelevant at this time of year or even this year to be honest, but I'm sure we'll remember this to come back to watch this again because... there's season two!! That's right, more laughter, more awkward situations as much as the author can conjure lol, and because we have an interesting ending of back to school featuring new character Kiri which is Hana's younger brother AND two other new characters waiting to come in to this Anime series (see tweet from the author, here), I can't wait to see what more episodes we'll get from whoever wants to join in the feast of rice haha no really we need more bowls, chopsticks and rice cookin' because IT IS TAMARANAI haha (as in irresistible) hey this Anime is great slice-of-life what can I say

How is this cute I don't even know

Yet another display of back pain through animation haha

P.S. "Why do college students get summer holiday homework anyway?" Wow Japan universities suck haha

P.P.S. "I should've joined them even if I had to force my way in!!!" Well Ami-chan they kept the door unlocked so you can just go in actually lol

[Since it's final episode first season let's talk about what I will miss before second season drops by]

I'll miss not specifically her crying but Ami-chan, yes. *laughs*

I want to make this a GIF even though it's rather impossible but I need a break haha

アニメ Kanojo, Okarishimasu

"...Because I want you to fall in love with me for real." But I already am, Ruka-chan. *laughs* Oh you meant Kazuya

Okay FINALLY Kazuya has woken up to see the reality in front of him and appreciating Ruka-chan has his girl. You f**king idiot so stop thinking about Chizuru already...? Haha you think this will end right if it's like this? Haha, naïve are we, huh. In this final episode for the season (#KanoKari12) we have a lovely scene where Kazuya is literally confessing to Ruka-chan which is seriously OUT OF THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW lol but I mean seriously and- Oh wait. Last week, huh. Yeah, totally forgot about it I thought Kazuya was hallucinating Chizuru and Mami-chan while confessing to this girl in front of him lmao. So, story...? Firstly, about the two girls in a karaoke room first, I guess, then we'll talk about Kazuya. So, if it's not obvious enough because even Kazuya figured it out, Mami-chan is renting Chizuru out. Very awkwardly, because why would you do that, knowing that you're that ex, and somehow you should be like everyone else not knowing about this... relationship between Kazuya and this rental girl... hey again, it's complicated. Well, to Mami-chan, it's not that complicated. Just... stop it. By doing all this of course, I suppose she has this message sent across those two (yes Kazuya is hearing at the door because it's his workplace lol), and throughout this date sort of, I think even with the interactions on the bridge, it's still really obvious that both of their real emotions are... nowhere to be found lmao. Like really, think about it. Mami-chan is totally jealous about this relationship and totally wants to ruin it like the evil villain she wants to not be somehow, Chizuru really wonders about her relationship with Kazuya at this point outside of money which I might say is not even important anymore, and Kazuya is a crybaby haha. But thankfully, he didn't interfere so this will play out properly, but honestly, if this is not Anime filler than I would argue that it's not enough. I know this would not make of a great romcom (lol), but hey, author, you wrote in a b*tch make her behave like one. You know, go out to ruin other peoples' lives because so far you've not been doing much to fan the flames. Hey, maybe it's me who saw all those dramas as a kid lol that was such bad influence, but yeah, that subtlety is too weak to make a case. But yeah, maybe Chizuru pleading to Mami-chan's feelings about Kazuya did hit it, I guess. Like the "it's our problem" shtick- hey Mami-chan you'll make of a good actress. *laughs* Then, the situation at hand. Which is why I say this might sound like a filler episode to end the series season because it's just another summary of Kazuya's fake relationship with Chizuru to the whole world at this point right now, but also, I guess, another doki moment where Kazuya accidentally spouts out that he wants her body haha. What, Kazuya, that's all you want, you pervert. *laughs* All in all, as I'm hearing the new insert song not by halca but by Amamiya Sora herself, I must say this Anime still leaves me with mixed emotions, and me nowhere near satisfied because clearly, Kazuya is in no position to talk about his love life as pretty much everything is in a mess right now, which would tide over this past year (in Anime time) (it has been this long?) of his life, so yeah... I hope there is some conclusion at some point even in the manga. But for now, because I know from the official Twitter already and yes the very last part of the episode was kind of cryptic but SEASON TWO!! WOOOO!!! Haha okay I wasn't this excited about Uzaki-chan so stop faking it. *laughs* But yay maybe, because I didn't expect to hang out this long, but clearly, this Anime is making bucks. *laughs* So yeah, more of this drama I guess. I might add that if you are going to miss majime Chizuru 'cos this is her new surname now lol, not b*tchy enough Mami-chan who is not bad enough to piss me off but can't stop being jealous until we know of her true feelings which is never, Ruka-chan which is MVP every week since she appeared until Sumi-chan who became MVP for like an episode because this week doesn't feature her lmao. Man, can't wait for more clarifications next season imagine of the Anime stopped here I would say this ended way worse than I has expected, to be honest. I mean, what kind of ending is this? I'm just not convinced. The laughs are great, the romance is mostly fake, and I can only idolise on the girls in this series. Seriously, I'm as bored as Mami-chan haha just joking not that farfetched but still. Anyways, to end this... KAZUYA YOU FUCKING WUSS!!! YOU MAN, TILL THE END!! UGH I'm quitting this series haha cya guys next season

[This is the most screencaps I've taken of Kazuya so far this series of him because he's snooping on them in the karaoke room so here you go]

When people ask find out I like a certain someone in class lol

This is just pathetic, both in person and in image quality lmao

P.S. "...I would probably go for the peggies or halca" Yeah, theme song artist references again remember that ranking from last week? "Sing for me" No I can't it's copyrighted music lol "Sing. For. Me." Alright haha I'm not masochist

P.P.S. "Why are Mami-chan and Chizuru together??" Well because Mami-chan is lesbian? Haha Kazuya I can't believe you dated someone who doesn't like dudes lol (yes I'm Mami-chan mode right now haha)
[Sorry for the Kazuya screencaps so here are some girls to compensate for that haha]

A large image to end the season amirite?? Hehe

I almost chose another Ruka-chan image so here's deredere Chizuru haha

アニメ Fall 2020 Anime Preview!

[Sponsored by Random Curiosity]

Yeah, just... come back after you've read it, yes?

So, for a not-so-elaborate opinions of shows next season which I may or may not watch:

• I know "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" is a good horror series, but... nah haha I'm scared of work already lol
• I hate how "Majou no Tabitabi" [premiers October 2nd 2020] has practically no objective as mentioned in the synopsis, but hey, as long as I can accept the magic, and somehow the Anime production can give us an ending... why not? It's been some time since I give Ede-chan (Hondo Kaede) any magic related Anime a chance remember Tejina Senpai? Wait. *laughs*
  
• If I don't give Kito Akari as waifu wife Anime "Tonikaku Kawaii" [premiers October 2nd 2020] I must be crazy. I kind of know the author's background with "Hayate no Gotoku" series because I kind of watched my sis watch it lol, so I can guess the level of humour and story we're going on with over here. Other than that, naming this the Akarin waife Anime is not an exaggeration this is how you marry her lol the photobook doesn't count
• I know "Munou na Nana" is a once in a blue moon Ookubo Rumi as main series, but man, am I not any bit interested in the story haha like seriously
• "Project Rescue Our Princess" lmao that's not the Anime title for "Maou-jou de Oyasumi" though it's just a cute princess Anime with Minase Inori as main girl. Who could resist? I can haha. Unless I'm interested in like, the Zelda/Peach's perspective waiting for the hero to rescue her, I might give this a try. And she sleeps all day?? I'm out lmao
• So "Ikebukuro West Gate Park" is like the Yazkuza series? I'm good I've watched till Kiwami 2 from someone's livestreams I could use a break haha
• "Adachi to Shimamura" is like my relationship with my best friend: Not because one of us is gay but he likes Mikuu and I like Akarin. I guess you can't call us gay haha they are not lesbian either (More along the lines of shoujo-ai, as clarified by the site)
• "Yuukoku no Moriarty" sounds like a different interpretation of Sherlock Holmes series but seriously, no girls?? I'm out haha
• "Ochikobore Fruit Tart" is a comeback story but in case you didn't notice, it's filled with newbie female voice actresses. Yes. It's an actual idol Anime series *wink* Idolmaster *wink* but worse. Is Hikasa Youko the only cast I know of? Haha this Anime sucks lol
• And in case you wonder why "Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season" [premiers December 7th 2020] is at the end of this season because, as you should have seen by the premier date, it's... probably a season and a little more long. Yeah, we'll see how this goes I'll still watch it till the end though I want to see the... I forgot what species they are already haha

In short, if I will watch any of them they are denoted by [premier air dates] which range from "I'll give Episode 1 a try" to "I'm watching this till the end and beyond because of Akarin" lol I'm going to hate Mondays in December because of Attack on Titan again

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Well, this week was kind of week in Klassic Note, though I would say I really am not in the mood to give new songs and am trying to be stricter these days because man, are there real good songs this year to compete with. So, clearing up Cocoro Auction's new mini-album and rejecting DENIMS' new mini-album (haha yes they only deserve this much), this week there's nano.RIPE's best album which... I guess I can give more than a few. Distracting me at work with rather mundane tunes since they have already done this for so long, but then again I realised this is what got me into them, so yeah? I'll try to give more if I can like some more of their melodies if I feel like it. Good chances, this will not go well. And as with Anime "KanoKari" end of the (first) season Amamiya Sora's new song for the Anime is... kinda okay, but clearly given to the Anime which we hope, will be in a future release at some point considering why not just put it in her recent album. That element of surprise might not be necessary imo. I guess they can't talk about it which will suck if they have to wait till this week, I guess.

In news on Twitter and beyond whatever because I can't remember this paragraph's intro every time, KANA-BOON's new single will be that firefighting Anime's new opening theme song with single out due November, I may actually give more than one song now that Waki Azumi's new music video is sounding more prospective than ever if I haven't got bored of giving Anime songs, we talked about Amamiya Sora's new song already it's kind of obvious effort for the Anime itself with overflowing budget lol, I didn't know YuNi's new song actually had a single coming literally next week, and I promise you I'm trying to search the Internet for that Ryokuoushoku Shakai x Ikimonogakari's Yoshioka Kiyoe (the vocalist) collaboration on TV which I don't own cable of. The last one might be impossible to find haha I just want to see artists of generations interact man it's all I've wanted haha

So for next week, besides the one I mentioned above which is YuNi's new single because I think they realised the ending song for Anime "Uzaki-chan" is selling so they can afford to write another song and release it in a CD which I may be able to review and buy who knows, and man this was some time coming, Sangatsu no Phantasia's new album. The latter though, it was announced two months ago, and the last time I've given her anything is two years ago, and I know I've already given the one song because of lyricist yuiko, but hey, let's keep a clean slate so I can review this properly when the time comes. I'll look forward to this one but yeah I'll remember YuNi-san too I promise.




And introducing Friend Mode in... you know, that GitHub Profile Page I'm maintaining and I swear those online games I'm playing inspired me to do this because, you know, 2 is better than 1. Especially girls I like, I can always use more of them. For now, it's just really troublesome to actually input data into both profiles, so that's kind of a pain. Sadly though, since I'm using a single source, this is kind of unavoidable let's see if I can improve this next week then. Cya guys next time, and until next week... Hmm I don't know. I would ask you to wait for the package with me but if you're not into Nan-chan, Akarin, Moeshi and/or Futon-chan then I'm sorry haha let's hope it arrives sooner or later

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #38

Hey, Anime on Saturday because I... am going to hate Sundays from this week onwards. I already am though haha

Long story short (as short as I can make it), because this Chinese physician is only available on weekends on Sunday (unless you want me to take work leave to see the doctor on weekdays but we'll get to that in a bit), and there is a real queue to an extent that you have to wake up as early as 7am to queue for a number which may not be applicable for the morning consultation session so you come back in the afternoon, but I'm starting to feel the effects. I may not go this long because other than the disruption it causes to me on Sundays specifically, it's also going to take a toll on my mom who is so willing to queue early morning so I can sleep a little more (thanks mom), and also, spend hours on end cooking the medicine (yes, they just give you the not processed ingredients) just so I can drink this once a day. Imagine if it's twice a day. I tell you, if it doesn't work on me which also means now I have to effectively control what I eat every day ie. saying goodbye to my colleagues on Friday which I did (*sigh*), I might as well just stop this torture and go to another sinseh who will probably get the same meds but without having to let my mom suffer. Like really, it's not going to be worth it we have been doing this ever since I have the money to pay for this from working.

*sigh*

Let's just hope this pays off because I'm paying something now and it's not just using money and I'm not happy about it. Okay, Anime time!! Let's knock that sadness into the abyss!! And yes, KanoKari first because Sumi-chan is finally here, like, for the last two episodes of the series you sure this is not two cour? Haha

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"To an European, Asia is Asia. They might not appreciate Eastern cultures that much" Laurent is not wrong btw I'm here appreciating Western cultures as an Easterner lol

Okay who dubbed the Chinese and French this week? Hetakuso da haha okay I'm not going to show off my Japanese here I only know Chinese please spare me the agony. Also, it's not that it's bad but it doesn't blend in with those Japanese haha trust me on that. So, in this new arc of a new episode (#GREATPRETENDER11) where everyone doesn't blend in especially Makoto lol, this might be their biggest episode budget in hiring foreign talent to do the dubs haha it paid off though because there's that language gap. So firstly, the situation now. It's winter now, in France, and don't expect snow in Singapore by the way lol. Laurent is hanging out in France drawing Cynthia, who hate people who draw, and we'll get to that later because Makoto is crapping out in a sushi shop that can't even sushi haha, you know, trying to live an honest life, as he always wanted. Obviously, not really going his way, but as you can see, he's living it through. Working at a place who doesn't recognise him for his efforts (I mean, China people in a Japanese restaurant in France?? lol), living in a boarding house sipping off coffee... that's kind of a life, I guess. Hey, trust me, things could be worse. But as some dude walked in to insult his boss on his food, forcing him to close shop, and the France owner of the boarding house he lives in sudden debt and having to close the place so effectively Makoto has no place to work AND stay now... this is going to be quite the pinch. So, he devises a plan, surprisingly, without Laurent, to save the owner from selling the place, and to teach that dude a lesson. So, pros and cons with a heist without Laurent 101. *laughs*

Pros: (1) Things get done quicker. Makoto's plan is just to sell the painting on the boarding house's wall for 20k euros so the house family can pay the debt, so he asks Cynthia for help, without Laurent, to complete the task and you know, get the dude to pay for it. Easy. Quick. It's not that tough as Makoto gets what he wants real easy. (2) No Laurent. You don't know how advantageous it is without seeing his face around lol, but hey, it's just a small heist of duping a dude into buying a painting which he intends to gift someone else, so why not? And now we can talk about why Laurent is important to the series haha. Cons: (1) Intelligence checks. As Cynthia would have hinted already as they pretend to be the masters of a random art gallery and put up that painting, that dude is famous art appraise and auctioneer James Coleman, and with her face like this we'll talk about what it has to do with her for later. But yes, that means Laurent would have researched on the guy to ensure they get up to 20 million euros of that cut, even if it will take some time for the painting to be authenticated. Even if not, Laurent will find a way to sell it at that price anyways lol so yeah Makoto you already lost. (2) It's Laurent. *laughs* Okay, jokes aside, let's get back to story, and how this will lead us to the current arc's fate. So in case you haven't noticed till this far, Cynthia has something with this James guy. Besides seeing him in a flashback of hers, obviously we know that she knows of the dude's real identity, so yeah she decides to run away in fear of the painting not being able to deceive an art appraiser such as him, but thank goodness that was a real painting hidden in the shadows, so I guess all of them got the run for it. Sadly, at... let me check 20 million divided by 20 thousand... 1/1000th the price of its appraised value haha, but oh well, at least someone is safe from debt and Kudo-san did get the biggest cut out of this lmao. Then, it's Cynthia's drunk talk about the dude. So yes, it's a previous lover or something or else why would she hate people who like art like Laurent (although I would argue that they might be a couple of some level I don't know, these two), and then she talks things like stealing the painting back so it can be sold at its actual value?? Haha if this is going to be all of it and they are moving to England for this this will be exciting to watch, for starters. And please spare me the foreign language stuff I can just listen to toutoi Japanese voice acting thanks. *laughs* Let's hope this swindler of a James Coleman can live up to his name so we can really see him freak out when Cynthia kicks him in the butt with her heel haha cya guys next week

[TL:DR; GREAT PRETENDER in a nutshell (pun not intended but) is basically the two buying chestnuts and not understanding anything, sit down in such a heart-warming scene eating together and Makoto says his ass is cold lmao]

Cynthis's the kind of woman you want to date if you feel as worthy as James Coleman- Ah.
(lol)

Dammit their airport's a freaking tiramisu too I want one so bad right now haha

P.S. "I'm hitting on you" "Oh, so you're bored" Wow this rapport I can't even

P.P.S. "You (Makoto) should go back to Korea" lmao yeah I'm literally puking my drink just like what Makoto did lol

[So they hired THREE dudes to voice in French and English but ONE dude for Chinese ie. the owner and staff are the same person?? Haha Anime you never fail to surprise me (also implicit racist reference here to assume all China guys sound the same- this Anime is racist not me)]

MFW I realised that idiot Makoto sold a painting cheap when it's 20 million euros lol

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

"My butt hurts? Are you (Sakurai) fine with that?" If it's not directly cause by him I suppose it's okay haha (not BDSM reference btw)

I swear I never thought I'll like a scene with Hayamin and Naomi-chan panting in 2020 but here we are. *laughs* In this new episode (#UzakiChan11) where Uzaki Hana is trying to pimp out her mom to his... boyfriend?? *laughs* Okay you guys give me a while while I get the rice cooker going. *laughs* So, not that I have a lot of... whatever to accompany with the rice I'm cooking now lol, but yeah, this is quite an episode, and for once, a lot about Sakurai being outdoors. You know, because if by now you still don't think he is a gamer and stays indoors and can't go for solo karaoke- Okay I'm not the one sh*tting on him okay? *laughs* So, about the story. Firstly, about Uzaki-chan taking Sakurai's place like a museum of sorts. You know, taking whatever she found (and then bought?) on the streets and showing him AND THEN not needing it anymore because she showed her senpai?? Are you that rich, girl? Or are those things so cheap you can spare that instead of just like, taking photos of them and sharing it with the guy. I can understand with the frog cushion or beanbag but man, did everything else go into the trash real quick. Well, at least his room's cleaner now. Just... don't throw away the stuff she leaves at the fridge Sakurai that's to feed you. *laughs* Talking about cooking, the cafe owner thought it would be nice to ask Sakurai to help out in the back ie. cooking, but turns out... he can't cook. You know, it's that bad Uzaki can laugh until she got a stroke. *laughs* So, he asks the mother for help. Since the cafe owner's wife is... we don't know who she is anyways, Uzaki's mother decide to teach this guy, just, you know, don't look him in the face then all is well. But you know, these two gotta tell her about petting the cats someday haha she keeps getting the wrong idea that it's not her. *laughs* Next up, rock climbing. Sounds a little sudden, but hey, it's kind of thanking Uzaki for helping him learn to cook from her mom, just that this one is going to be a showdown Uzaki is meant to lose too, considering Sakurai's well-trained physique he can climb the walls so many times, Uzaki can only look at him show off. And then, probably the highlight of the episode especially when they are drunk we'll get to that later, is Sakurai in karaoke. Dammit we were so close to hearing him sing the opening theme so too bad this would not be on the soundtrack (Remember Anime "Kannagi" where all the songs they sang were in the soundtrack in the karaoke episode?? Those were the days haha thanks Aniplex) (Also Aniplex thanks for Anime "Kaguya-sama" character songs you guys just write new songs for a radio show segment that's impressive), but guess who wil be on the soundtrack. Nobody. *laughs* Because besides singing, Uzaki and Ami-chan found him singing alone which it's regarded as a societal sin doing that alone (even for rehearsal purposes you should be shaming yourself at the first outing to the karaoke with your friends dude), but yeah, it's a literal party crashing, if you equate it to watching movies alone and suddenly you're not alone. Life sucks, isn't it? Not if you order a couple of beers and they decide to dress up in cosplay though!! Yes, my heart is with Ami-chan Sakura might be aroused by bunny girl but I'll take that bullet (twice) from the cop anytime. *laughs* (Premium rubber bullets haha) (That is a Yakuza 4 reference lol) Also, does it really pay off to be ripped? I gotta start training. *laughs* And, to end the episode and as a prelude to the end of the series, Uzaki suddenly showed up at her senpai's place all drenched and said with tears down her face that she cannot play with him anymore. She must be pregnant haha okay we'll see how this ends next week

[TL:DR; You think the husband knows about Ayachi touching up on ripped dudes? lol]

I'm pretty sure you're an idiot if you can smile like that plushie haha

lol

P.S. "I'm sorry. Go ahead and laugh if you want" And yep as expected Uzaki-chan's the one laughing haha okay count me in too lmao

P.P.S. "...I'll leave the rest to you two *giggles*" Now THAT is what I call an Anime mother haha

She's wet- O~kay. *laughs*

アニメ Kanojo, Okarishimasu

"My mornings start at 4AM" Wow girl could you please wake me up if you're my girlfriend? lol not to do calligraphy though but I'll walk the dog

Yeah, Rieri must use her cute voice for this role again, huh. Kind of guessed it from her but still, I'd like her to use this voice less but oh well I got my fair share in JoshiMuda already because IN THIS NEW EPISODE OF SUMI-CHAN (#KanoKari11) lol which no one should leave her out just because it took 10 episodes for her to even be mentioned in the Anime, like really, we can have another series where it only stars Sumi-chan and get those other b*tches out of the way lol no really the author wrote a novel based on her instead, first volume out this month. Anyways, let's talk about Anime. Well, after watching this week's episode I must say, I miss Ruka-chan A LOT haha okay I have my fair share of high pitched girls anyways so back at you, me. So, story. Story starts strong with the Sumi-chan date so far, so that's good, straight to the point. Just that, you know, the ex is watching. *laughs* Okay not about her first, let's talk about the new girl. The episode starts with a description about the life of this introvert and has some level of komyusho, studying hard at college and waking up early like her grandparents used to teach her (probably but I'm just guessing or else who would do this) (I meant waking up early you should study hard in college haha), but more importantly, she is a... woman? She is a woman with little words. Like seriously, in her call with Chizuru they gotta cut her talking about- You can be a light novel-based video game main character haha they also don't talk. Anyways, Kazuya has to think of ideas for the date since you know, she doesn't plan all the stuff unlike the #1 Rookie in the company lol, so yeah, getting rental girlfriends such as her would be rough. So yeah, I hope you have a plan when renting this one at random haha. Anyways, they go bowling, and there's where you see Mami-chan the title card from the Anime on their official site (Mami-chan not yet, please), but since she hardly ever leaves the house unless it's for school, Sumi-chan... can't play many things even at this location. From bowling to baseball to ice skating... she always finds a chance to show off her panties lack of skills as a rental girlfriend. Well, not that you must have those skills; I'll take a girlfriend who knows nothing so I can psycho her into believing my lies lmao. But yeah, Kazuya did to some extent, do his job as a boyfriend, and guide her along this "date", but yeah as he said, this is going to be rough. Sumi-chan is already hitting the ground running and she can barely catch up with the competition. Well, if the competition means Chizuru of course haha. Anyways, they bumped into Mami-chan which is of course bad news since as much as Sumi-chan doesn't know of what is happening right now for this dude, (Oh and this is the time where Sumi-chan braves up to say she's his girlfriend?? Haha man, I know this date is technically confidence training but this is not a great time lmao) but also, it'll be hard to explain to Mami-chan on anything about this "date" unlike how he dealt with those dudes who want to pick up on Sumi-chan earlier. But yeah Mami-chan, as much as I would like to believe that you'll (not) keep a secret, even if you tell on Chizuru, Kazuya also won't have to worry because there's nothing going on between all of them. Like, nothing as in no relationship at all they are all just client and employee relationships haha. So now that we are here, about Mami-chan. We know she's a virgin. *laughs* I mean, look at her. *laughs* She can't even teach her ex a lesson, for goodness sake haha only lashing it on social media haha. Ignoring that, she seems kind of jealous with all these girls around his life right now (Spoiler alert, but they are all not his girlfriend lol), and as much as his (younger) brother is itching on her lol hey bro, she... might really want him back for all we know. But now, especially from the end of the episode, I think she wants to break havoc. So, let's see how far this takes her. All in all, in a production standpoint, I can't understand why they bring in Sumi-chan (even though she's cute I'll give you that) just so they can end this with Chizuru saying she's going to stop the rental girlfriend business. And of course, whatever you saw at the end of this episode. Sorry for comparing this to "Toradora!", but this confrontation thing should've happened in like, last week's episode haha I guess there's Ruka-chan too then. Hmm, I don't know. It sure is great with many episodes of Chizuru though, but I have a feeling that may be too well to talk about just so we can put in these other characters to talk about in case this series isn't hyped enough with just Ten-chan or something haha. But hey, the initial story is literally getting a rental because the ex fell through with the guy, so yeah, hopefully this is the end to everything. Well, for this adaptation anyway. With 17 volumes and counting, the author is sure to make this exciting with new characters (AFAIK there is one new one looking from the covers) just so you don't get bored of Chizuru- I won't though, author, trust me haha cya guys next week

[TL:DR; As Kazuya has mentioned in this episode "Damn I want a girlfriend so bad!!!" haha]

Girls in thought look the best imo just look at Ten-chan or Akarin
(For the latter search "Kito Akari looking top right compilation")

I'd normally be excited for Mami-chan's situation now but she's innately evil so
(haha)

P.S. "...I wake up 5 minutes before the alarm rings" Hey it's totally true because that's what they call your biological clock, where you will wake up before the alarm goes off because you are used to wake up at that time period already. That's literally me every weekday haha which also happens on weekends too actually but I just go back to sleep haha FREEDOM!! lol

P.P.S. "I'm used to walking around with super pretty girls" Okay Kazuya that's not something you put on your resume lol

[More Sumi-chan because since she doesn't speak her image is her best point so why not (and then you realised she spoke the most in the intro and that's not even socialising lol)]

Literally me in photos I take with anyone haha
(I've learnt to show my yellow teeth so I'm actually smiling though lol)

If it was Yokoshima-sensei from "Seitokai Yakuindomo" this would have a different result lol kawaii though

Thanks for the offer Sumi-chan but my doctor advised me on a plain diet haha yeah right screw you doctor

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week... well there aren't any new songs, so it's literally me trying to find releases if I have the time. Clearly, I didn't have the time so whatever haha I should really browse through Apple Music Japan's new releases more often so find more to listen. So that, we'll touch on next week since it's also pretty much empty too oh yeah that nano.RIPE album. So this week, since a Scenarioart song from their latest album appeared in my head somehow I can't get rid of it (unlike a headache) so I think it's here to stay. Must be the recent live I watched some time ago but man did it outstay its welcome. Other than that, I listened to Mishima Souhei's debut mini-album which - if cinema staff's vocalist is more adequate of an introduction to this now also solo artist - really made weird shit in that album, I must say, so it's real hard to give anything I must say. So yeah, I'm kinda weird too so, maybe one song. Maybe.

On news concerning music on Twitter and hardly beyond because I'm not that bothered to go that far normally (I probably should though), VELTPUNCH's live livestream yesterday slaps a** so much I gotta tell them after the livestream on Twitter (instead of donating on the spot because I only have money for women lmao) (Audience: Aiko-chan the bassist is woman) (ah about that) so yay me (translations included in case you can't Japanese like me *dabs*), marble might be back (it's a band name not a noun) for more new songs after what, at least 10 years under cover? Well, at least they are active again, for remember that streaming thing for Lantis called MixBos? Yeah, that. But also more will be revealed on their upcoming livestream I assume, so I'm seeing how that goes I think next weekend. Natsukawa Shiina's new topic song got another music video but it's animated so no her but it's probably a good time to intro more indie composers and animators behind it I guess (I don't care I count that as an official music video lol), Happy Birthday Kotobuki Minako I enjoyed my playlist of your songs at work that day so much, and whatever whatever Earphones' latest music video now has English subtitles if you can stand the... music?? lol I can't even it's rather cool though once you reach the chorus. "If" you can reach to the chorus haha

So, for next week, it's nano.RIPE's best album time, but from the looks of two topic songs and music video collaborations with other Anime solo artist ie. female voice actors (lol), it is not looking great so let's see if I can give some oldies if I'm into it or not. Since I said I saw some stuff on Apple Music on their new releases (which is never new because there's that one week lag), I'll be listening to DENIMS' new mini-album and Cocoro Auction's new album, both released this month. And also because releasing a full album isn't very profitable now lol. And yeah, from zero impression, why not. I just had to check if they are legitimate new releases or just some re-upload of their old library lol




The stars have aligned, my friends. Yes, the "September Otaku Package" which will be no doubt, quickly renamed to "October Otaku Package" mainly because when the last of them appear in that warehouse next week and shipping gets delayed again... I could use another package haha I'm energised again for next month haha so yeah, maybe let it come next month, I guess. Cya guya next time then, and until then... the physician suggested that I sleep early so good night haha I'll make a half-hour extension for that Yasobi show on Wednesdays of course who can resist Mikakoshi and Sumipe hehe bye

P.S.  Every year, at this day, I remember her birthday. It has been so long, I don't even know how to face her after seeing all the comments and wishes for her on her day, I feel sad and lonely to ever approach her again, since we are so far away, and my... advances on her have never worked because I hardly try. Horie Yui, Happy Birthday, my girl. *laughs* (Audience: I'm pretty sure you're talking about someone you had a crush on at middle school-) (SHUT UP haha)

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #37

Well someone in Twitter mentioned that Sumi-chan is on this week so... I know right Rieri needs a priority queue in my list she may not be the most beautiful or cute out there but she is adorable af

Hey, welcome back. No packages this week, don't worry. *laughs* But it is happening. Where all stars of various galaxies gather together, coralled by the local black hole and gets sucked all in- That's when the package consolutation happens haha, and you know, gets shipped to here. I mean, I'm burning a lot of money every month already so why not continue the trend amirite?

Happy birthday, Kayano Ai. Yes, right smack on today. She did say she doesn't want to talk about her age on her now new Instagram account (it's labelled with her 10th anniversary announcement so I doubt it'll last long but maybe 6 months at least?) (also, go Wanted List if you want to know how old she is she's only a decade behind Hocchan hahahahahaha), so yeah, new announcements it seems, which might surprisingly be able to check off two items off that "Turning Point" checklist, considering it's a mini-album of original songs (from Aniplex so I'm hopeful) which man did it take 10 years to happen for her solo artist debut haha, and a photobook (not sold separately, sadly) which man, if you see that anniversary homepage makes me hopeful we'll see a swimsuit shot at some point. Before you know, she gets any older and really cannot Photoshop it out anymore lmao hey Kayanon just anything; Even if it's below a shirt I'll count it haha

Let's Anime, shall we? Then again, how many Kayanon Anime have we watched? Last time it was Sangatsu no Lion? Yeah, ane-san role. That was actually good enough it's not fanservice but still

(And then I realised Sumi-chan is next week DAMMIT I GOT JEBAITED haha)

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"No one would get hurt if it's scripted for entertainment" Okay Makoto we can make blood happen if you want just ask animation producers lol (I meant that as a comparison to real life not like animation in animation haha)

And... Abbie you shouldn't be killing people because apart from the fact that we still need you to pull off this stunt (get it, air race pilot stunts?) and no one cares about your goddamn life it's also war- Okay Edamame "The Saint" Makoto's here. *laughs* And I think I know where this is getting from especially mentioning from Isabelle because Lewis dying won't do anything great for anyone especially when Sam is going to be so happy about this if this jerk dies off and leaves this liar without anything to worry about. That, is letting Sam off too easily, I would argue. In this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER10) where we're still in Singapore so yay for our country's publicity stunt because amidst of crisis and with out economy relying on global trade this is great news, so yeah, more backstories, I guess. Of course, we're on the way to the finals, so let's see who has the final upper hand. Firstly, about Lewis and Abbie. Well spoiler alert from above, but yeah Makoto did come in to stop Abbie from committing a real crime and then be jailed for whatever she's trying to do here. Still glad they didn't coin this under like wartime crimes or stuff like that because they are mostly people of action, and that is probably the point and especially after Isabelle - the wife of Lewis - also talked to Makoto about Lewis' side of the story. Again, assuming that everyone isn't a jerk like that Aizen dude (lol sorry for BLEACH reference again), we would normally know that people struggle to live with war crimes even after the incident, as mentioned by Isabelle of his husband, and hey Abbie, you think people don't feel bad to drop two atomic bombs on two Prefectures in Japan in 1945? Think again. So, story goes on to suggest a conclusion to such a conflict, and as much as they might know each other's case as of this point, it is as hard as to allow Lewis to be himself again, flying in the sky and having a good time instead. So, Makoto suggests a bet. And yes, did they bait us on this though, because at the same time, advances on Sam's betting scheme ever since he lost last episode is also on, where Makoto suggests not rigging the race and having the confidence to bet on his brother and you know, win the race for real and earn the trust of the "underground casino". Meaning they are going to let Sam not decide the fate of the final race and then Laurent's guys will be able to make the decision FOR him haha I see the lies upon lies already well done scriptwriters you guys have thought this through lol. Of course, this is going all according to plan, which is why Laurent prepared the champagne the colourised films and fake video footage of the final race lmao. Yeah, and here I thought they would actually rely on these two idiots here for the plan to succeed, to switch between Abbie and Lewis and letting this dork decide the fate of the event considering he hasn't been racing since the incident haha. So yeah, it was a real race, and of course due to lack of training Clarke won but Sam still got duped (lmao), and the others got away with it probably after Sam found out who really won and left the underground casino angry. Which lies the underlying question: where is the truth? Turns out, another flashback suggests something else, as with Makoto's talk with Clarke days before the race. (Yes I'm trying to tie back to something else I want to mention) Because someone egged Lewis to play an actual race with him, and thus Lewis told Sam out to let them race proper (which he didn't) and so Clarke feels bad about it. Hey, everyone feels bad about it, from Lewis to Abigail not Sam though lol. "And as Makoto looks at the pill as the guy walks about of his garage leaving his plane behind for his mechanic..." I mean, bro, you gotta prove your guilt, man. *laughs* God, guess who will have the last laugh here. Probably not Abigail, because now everything is in her hands. Excuse me, "Abigail", because now you can just black tint your place for an air race and not win anyways. We got that signature middle finger though, I'll give you that. All in all, it's quite a mess, definitely quite a cliffhanger and got me duped until I'm Episode 1 Makoto level now because now that he's smarter than me... haha hey, I gotta praise this series for a while. So yeah, that was quite a good conclusion to this arc. We got to know a little more about Abbie, someone got cranked out of his money lol, and everyone still got paid amirite?? Haha cya guys next week for another wonderful arc I hope this series has good hopes of being a great original series imo

I can't believe I said that as I watched this but, Abigail is cute, isn't she?

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT haha F**K YOU SAM from Lewis

P.S. "Your accent is so bad that I don't even understand you" Hey, we may not have the middle finger screen from you this episode Abbie but this will do haha

P.P.S. Again, I must applaud the Anime production for making sure to not touch on those subjects of war where I did for the review above because it'll put much controversy in the story here and probably score bad for reviews for this series considering everything else is stellar hey if you haven't watched it now is good time

[On the final segment of introducing Singapore to people other than myself although it's just me...!!]

That is... Fort Canning Park?? Well, the last time I went there is 20 years ago so...

I couldn't recognise it from above but it's in Chinatown
(It's more obvious when on ground level, trust me)

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

"No Starbucks, but there's sandboxes! There's crab, but no money!" Here are the links to help you understand Japanese word puns haha also is this the real slogan for Tottori? lol

I can't fit the third one in to here's 7-Eleven (pronounced "sebun") when you have a good mood. *laughs* Hey, don't throw me too much word puns I'm not a fan of those in Anime anyways lmao. Besides me helping my audience to understand Japanese phrases which is literally only me lol, this new episode (#UzakiChan10) is sponsored by Tottori Tourism Board- Oh it's not? *laughs* Legit, I thought those two were going to get kidnapped by... Sakaki and Ami-chan?? lol okay I'll take this as a double date I'll take Ayachi any time of the day by the way. *silence* Okay, about the trip (haha I know Ayachi's married, please) where we know the other two were lying about why they were here in the first place (I mean, the animation's effort to make them look like shadows is something else haha), we have a real trip around the place. You know, the place known for couples to visit. Yeah, now you wonder why it's a TWO NIGHT ONE DAY TRIP for TWO isn't it?? *laughs* So yeah, I ate so much more than Ami-chan I've never felt so full lol. So, story. I can't remember the sequence because I am so full not I forgot, so forgive me if I have to reference the episode itself. Firstly, sand dunes. Not like I've played those before, but those sound like fun for a regional attraction considering you don't want to go to the Arabic states just to do this, but hey, it looks kinda fun for a way to eat up sand without you noticing you know how easy it is to choke on that just on the sand block when I was a kid? Haha moving on, and then Uzaki challenged her senpai to a race to the ocean. Obviously, as you would have noticed a trend throughout the episode, that Uzaki just cheats in everything, so she brought a sand board to sail downhill. Too bad she still has to do the final run herself, so that part she lost the bet to Sakurai anyways. Then, it's the museum. I mean, it has to be relevant, so yeah, they made sure these two were touring an Anime-based museum haha. Uh, don't buy too much of those figurines because it'll be hell to bring them back personally but hey, hopefully they have nationwide delivery. And then, they eat rabbit cakes. I mean, remember the other two giving hints about the secret of Tottori? Yeah, about this point you should've guessed, it is a place for jerks for couples even though it's literally Uzaki playing around with Sakurai without thinking about the impact on her which might end up like stuff involving indirect couple actions that... they probably won't mind since they did it first without thinking anyways, so good on them. *laughs* *fills bowl of rice and sits down* Haha so moving on, they go to the shrines. Hey, typical to get some fortunes as we know in Japan (I mean, I guess we do it here too with Chinese temples, but not as conventional as Japan to be honest), but this one... as you have guessed it and those other two have revealed, it's for love. Totally spot-on though, I might add. So yeah, if you have listened to the story behind all this tradition because I didn't haha, Sakurai and Uzaki have been enjoying themselves... as a supposed couple. Well, at least, when viewed by the public and not including us who know of this and are just *fills another bowl of rice and sits down* enjoying this whole episode anyways by just waiting for things to happen in their lovely trip. *laughs* (Man, it's easier to get another bowl of rice with drawings than with text, haha) Then, the two get to sit on (not a couples') chain lift to the mountains to see fascinating scenery which my mom wouldn't care otherwise... (really, she's into shopping, my sis and dad are into scenery, and I just don't care) (haha I need help) So yeah, it's hard to try to have a good time without thinking that everything you do is couple-like. Even living in that hotel that has onsen water that can cure you of ailments in three days (ie. you can f**k for two nights straight at least and be cured going back home lmao) (that's not how it works? lol) (also, special appearance by the mother?), and the other two insisting those two sleep in the same room... which they didn't haha, and they end with the talk of youkai and how 177 of them exist just along the route to the train station- I swear I didn't see that one alive and walking around. *silence* Haha I mean someone please ask for help. In terms of production though, I have a harsh feeling that the tour guide is also voiced by Ami-chan if they recycled their voice cast lol (Edit: It's Ede-chan haha yeah they have similar voices, and as expected of production they didn't do that) (they did recycle the voice for the bystander couple's guy and the 7-Eleven dude probably newbie), and rabbit cakes have never sounded this cute haha (Yeah, those rabbit cakes dubbing is Oozora Naomi's voice in action, ladies and gentlemen), and they gotta slot in more shots (from the manga probably) for the ending theme animation because why not. All in all, great episode, I've had my fill which probably not much compared to Ami-chan's in the episode itself (I eat in bigger bowls than hers tbh) (around the size of Uzaki's cup, I would argue-), and I would say this cannot get any better. I guess that's why the focus is on this literally, since like, just the going out thing isn't that interesting anymore and that they need a conclusion for this series anyways which is ending in a couple of weeks. Couple, get it? *laughs* I'm tired I need to sleep even though I drank coffee just now lol yes with buckets of rice ohohohohoho

[TL:DR; You're not a man if you didn't pause at the right frame to see if Uzaki suddenly standing up in the bath that you can see anything or not lmao]

This can become an Anime haha
"Target demographic: Not Me" lol

This is going to be my substitute GIF for photo emoticon lol those gay dudes

P.S. "That personality, though" Haha Uzaki you don't have to mention that twice WE KNOW lmao

P.P.S. "We've been watching over them thus far. We have a duty to see it to the end?" Hello, when is the end, Sakaki? Until they have sex- "They don't know the real Tottori!" Hey someone said that about Gunma too so... haha sorry

["Towels were specially used for the occasion of filming" yes that was a nude bath by the way haha what (lol then they showed the actual one anyways)]

You don't know how tempted I am to make GIFs every time Ami-chan "eats" in this episode- Here you go haha

You don't know how tempted I am to make GIFs every time Ami-chan "eats" in this episode- Here you go haha

アニメ Kanojo, Okarishimasu

"Ouch! It's domestic violence!" Kinoshita-san I'm calling the cops haha

I mean, Kazuya, your fortune from last episode is pretty bad for your case so yeah, suck it up dude haha. In the new episode (#KanoKari10) where even his friends look down on him even without him revealing that he spent so much money on rental girlfriends (other than Kuri, he's not in the gang anymore haha), he now spends money on other people. Not like, on girls, no. More like, you know, Kazuya's going to show his long time buddy Kuri a good time. *laughs* Okay, I'm that close to the story already so why not. Wow half this episode is Kuribayashi- he might be getting too much appearances for being just a side character lol. Anyways, story. Story goes that Kazuya has to work. Well, we talked about that last episode but guess who's the newbie in the workplace. So yeah, Ruka-chan took it upon herself to get close to the guy she likes (man I can't even), and sadly Kazuya can't do much but go along with her or else he gets no pay (yep she bribed the manager too lol) and also go along with the insults from his buddies just because. Hey, that's what happens when you rent a girlfriend because you broke up with a girl. *laughs* Okay, if without this decision there wouldn't be KanoKari anyways so don't think too much into this haha. But yeah, this is where Kibe-san mentions their buddy Kuribayashi, and somehow, since that one incident we are all familiar about but Kibe doesn't, is only going to school and home- Hey that's me in college. *laughs* (And I didn't even go through what Kuri has lol) Anyways, we gotta you know, confront him somehow, so Kazuya decides to use his first paycheck to make his friend happy again. Interestingly, not from himself, but it's more like, he's purchasing a date for his buddy here who will be happier to get back into boy-girl relationships because he has been through tough times being found out of one. But hey, what better person to ask for, then Chizuru? So yeah, and as I mentioned earlier, it's just half the episode of them enjoying themselves in the amusement park so lucky you Kuri haha (I like how Chizuru keeps saying Shun-kun and it reminds me of another manga), but yeah, he did have a good time. He also probably figured out, as matured of thinking as he is, about the situation as of now other than the fact that he may still think that Kazuya is still going out with Chizuru for real outside of this business thing lol. Above that, Kazuya did pop by at some point to apologise, and yes that's the bro moment we've all been waiting for and that's why one shouldn't lie for too long or the sh*tting on you will be longer the further this gets Kazuya (haha) (okay legs vs boobs vs lolicon which one is your type? lol), but yeah, I guess they made it up. Kazuya did slap it on Chizuru to try to date him for real, but yeah I guess the girl wouldn't be doing it anyways, so as a professional actress she is going to be, she gives that suggestion so to you know, give Kuri hope so he wouldn't be working along in the father's orchard for the next half a century lmao. Hey, Chizuru, if this actually works can I also rent you for a day? *laughs* (Note: Finding one here is near impossible after you graduate especially locals) ("That was a lie" Dammit Kaguya-sama narrator!! lol) So yeah, all is well, the lie is still there for everyone besides Kuri who hopefully will keep a secret for now I hope, and we move on to the next best thing Kazuya can hope for since his hopes with Chizuru is probably not close to nothing even though he keeps dreaming on it: a balcony date. Like seriously, dude, it's not like she's going to climb over the parapet to come to your place to have sex or anything HE IS LITERALLY IMAGINING IT!! *laughs* So yeah, we now finally move on to Sumi-chan. Chizuru decided to ask Kazuya to "help her out" since she's kinda shy and is getting complaints as a fellow colleague she is helping her out. By sending out her best guy (haha) to teach her the ways maybe. Whatever it is, we know next episode is going to be great I'm looking forward to having some Rieri time having Chizuru every episode is BORING lol also that next episode preview the trio starting from Kibe they were talking about porno actresses lmao bye

Okay Kazuya as a fellow perv I can understand why you want Chizuru so much lol
(FYI only happens in a porno haha)

Okay Kazuya as a fellow perv I can understand why you want Chizuru so much lol
(Look at those pantyhose GIFs of voice actresses and tell me if it's impossible)

P.S. "The way they have been behaving is nothing like a rental relationship!" I know right Kuri this is how deep they have gotten themselves into already "... and have sex until you're sick of it" OOOOOKAY BRO they haven't gotten that far. Well, at least, he hasn't. *laughs*

P.P.S. "I'm pretty sure Kazuya still likes her (Chizuru) for real" Wow Kuri how do you know? You know your bro better than all of us man! Haha Kazuya I'll see how you get out of this one

[Good to have a change of male lead like Kuri but he's not that handsome so here's more Chizuru haha no wait]

It only slightly pisses me off that the Top 2 in this ranking are the opening and ending themes respectively with that Ruka-chan special ending song in SEVENTH?? COME ON haha
(Even in Anime insert songs Ruka-chan is not loved lol)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Wow this week is quite a week, it seems, because I mostly ignored mainstream because you know. *laughs* So, Natsukawa Shiina's new single is.. arriving on my shelf as we speak haha I'll try to be as unbiased as possible (see if I'm biased when I review Aki-chan because this is going to be similar lol), Ikimonogakari's new single is... just the one song I guess, Sambomaster's new single in a while is... fine? I only dropped in to give the one topic song because I heard it last week and thought it was good so... man guys, remember you guys wrote better songs in the past few years? I want that. *laughs* Moving on, and I don't know how I ended up giving LILI LIMIT's album from indie days because I wanted more of them and I can't (FYI they disbanded last year) so I just ended up giving the one song which I swear I rejected 4 years ago but you know, I'm more in the mood for that. Which will explain why I haven't given any judgement on miwa's new single which even ignoring the topic song not much has stuck onto me, and Aimer's new single because you know, only people who like her will get the hype I don't now. My hype is only when my imouto releases a swimsuit photobook or something. *laughs* (Okay that was a lie that's when it's Mocho HAHAHA) So yeah, Aimer and miwa will wait till next week when hopefully I have the mood to give them somehow- Again, the songs aren't bad besides the "social distancing" bullsh*t please miwa-san I don't want to remember this year ever again haha (Audience: What about the song awards this year though?) Ah about that... haha it's still happening don't worry

On news concerning Klassic Note and is on Twitter, I can say this now because Asakura Momo has her own music YouTube channel now which no doubt will feature more of her announcement videos like this one of her eating cup noodles and then telling us that she is releasing a new single in November lmao, to celebrate her 10th anniversary as voice actress (has it only been this short?) Kayano Ai is releasing a solo mini-album next year in March (yeah) under Aniplex (hell yeah) which I have been begging ever since I heard her sing those Anime "Kyouka" ending theme songs I swear, and Natsukawa Shiina just did a (recorded) release event on YouTube so... that's how I got a sneak peek of the B-side two days before release date which probably cemented the impression for me haha Nan-chan you got me. Oh, it's been not mainstream so far, so let's talk about those too. *laughs* vivid undress' upcoming livestream is happening in October in response to cancelling their physical live tour and probably, similar to cinema staff, doing donation-based lives to try to recuperate for losses. Again, I think that's more practical instead of not doing anything or putting a pay gate (like what idolism will do to you), so that's good. I think I missed Scenarioart's limited audience and live streaming (as in physical audience) is probably something I missed because of work (they started in early evening and that's Japan time so an hour earlier), and I think I then noticed this week that ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is releasing a new single in October. I seriously need to be involved more in mainstream remember when I asked for more a decade ago when none of this exists?? Hey, I wish I was born a decade later haha even ClariS is 10 years already remember those glorious times where Alice is still around?? *silence*

*sob*

So, as mentioned earlier, since there aren't many releases next week anyways, I'm going through miwa's new single and Aimer's new single to see if I can give anything (so far it's one each, and the former is not from the topic song), and also I'll listen to H ZETTRIO's new album too because I miss them and I hear they have been releasing songs bimonthly for a year to make this recent album so why not? Music videos galore, literally, where every single song is one music video- And then you remember Sangatsu no Phantasia is technically making animation lyric videos of their upcoming album songs well this one is actual music videos haha. Okay, maybe add in Mishima Souhei's solo mini-album (vocalist and composer for cinema staff) too since I probably can give him some songs even if I haven't heard anything yet. (Edit: What did I just hear from the trailer haha)




So, I guess I'm done for now. I lazed out earlier catching up on... I wouldn't say video games so mobile games and I'm tired so I'll carry on with my music library later, so if you would excuse me I'd like to stop here for now. As you can see, I'm trying my best to listen to everything while still working... not from home haha because who does that now lol, but you know, still trying to make this year not suck. And that's why there's those packages; Trust me, they are going to be good. It's going to improve my mood more than this upcoming Wednesday where my mom told me to take the day off so I can go see a Chinese physician who... can only take new patients in the middle of the week, and only works four days a week. Weirdo, isn't it? Also, he/she doesn't even talk and just checks your pulse. This doctor is perfect haha we'll see if I can still enjoy coffee by then I'm super into drinking ready made Starbucks every morning now considering I can't wait for it to open to go to work lol bye take care

P.S. Kayano Ai with original songs. You know how many actual years I waited for that?

P.P.S. I now also learnt that besides Ishigami from Anime "Kaguya-sama" who got a very short character song on their radio show and promised the guest when it first aired who was Hayasaka (ie. Hanamori Yumiri-chan) to give her one chorus too, and it happened. Aniplex you sunofabitch how did you just make that happen. Miracles do happen, kids. *laughs*
