The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #43

Yeah, doing this quick because there's... work on Sunday. *sigh* Haha oh well, all in a day's work I guess

And yeah, I'm on impulse... buy... mode now I wouldn't say that, but I'm just doing stuff I could have done before the virus ruled the world outdoors from upgrading into a newer PC for the whole family ie. me and my dad because it has been 6 years lol (not sponsored by Aftershock) (yet), to that package that'll be coming soon to... a calendar I probably can't hang on my wall. Haha that we'll see how it goes I'll just put my hand over the rated bits. *laughs* Oh also, that failed delivery of a desk yes talking about you IKEA the next time I do this you better reach here lol

Well, let's get to it then! Plenty of things to talk about that isn't work (thankfully) I must say, and yeah, my mind is kind of future-worrying as we speak but... we'll think about it when we get there as the Chinese saying goes "the boat will naturally straighten as it reaches the bridge" or is it the other way around I don't remember...




アニメ GREAT PRETENDER
"You can drop out now. But didn't you feel anything when you saw those kids being trafficked?" Uh... no comment.
Looks like we're saving kids this time around. Will make of a good change compared to the last time these guys did anything good lol well there's the small story of Cynthia giving all the money she got from the manager from gambling to the employee who had a kid and got fired. Remember that? Because I do. In this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER16) where we think Vietnamese can listen to English (especially kids who haven't went through any education) and you thought the Japanese who voiced Cynthia got replaced by... whatever that is lmao, we see Makoto undress Abbie. Yeah, I summarised this episode for you already, you can go now. *laughs* So, about the plan to dope the Japan mafia. Hey, they did go for it, and Makoto is somehow their best alibi and translator for the company here, so... okay there's the fat woman too but we'll get to that in a moment. So, story. Cynthia and Shi'on (because she's technically Korean and it's different from Shion) flew to Japan to negotiate with that trading company which is under the mafia (we'll refer to the woman as Akemi from here on) to you know, get some money from Akemi here since she should be rich, and could use a boost in sales, if you know what I mean. So, the plan was to pretend to nab a Middle East princess and then let them deal with the cr*p later before realising that all this isn't even real (thanks Clarke for the assist haha) (you think Sam will rat them out? lol), and get 100 million out of this. Excuse me, 1 billion out of this. Yen, of course, but it's still quite a lot. Akemi got to see the evidence for herself (mostly rigged) (I mean, the manager isn't that smart haha), and with a threat of selling this prized good to Shanghai (I suppose, mafia based there that isn't them), they got good money off the bat. Now, to save Abbie. Sorry, "Abigail Ibrahim" is the 14th princess of the- Are we really going to get away with this shtick? *laughs* Anyways, the plan is to save her, so Makoto had to treat the manager to a couple of drinks so to replicate the key on his parson as I guess she is important property and they can't escape through the window lol, but then Makoto can just take over the shift from the other guys at night and THEN get her out? That doesn't seem like a necessary plan. Well, it's stealth, I'm sure. And of course, in typical Makoto fashion, instead of leaving with the lie in place ie. with Abbie and Laurent, he decides to save the kids. Well on the other hand Laurent and the others have a plan to save those kids, so that's the least of our problems. *looks at Laurent* Maybe not. Wait, you no prepare another car? I like how he's scared of the traffic law at this time of night lol. Anyways, Makoto goes back for them, and... they didn't want to leave. Even with the door open. I would argue that since they will be sold out to rich people they may have more fulfilling lives in the near future even though it's probably just servant level so whatever people say they have to follow, but hey, at least it's not their parents. BOOM got them haha sorry for bombing trafficked kids too I gotta. And hey, I wished the drop on those kids were "Have you heard of freedom?" Haha oh well they probably haven't went that far yet huh. You know, live your life thing and then realise you have something to live for such that if you get kidnapped or sold you'll want to escape so that you can get back your life? No? You guys don't too? Hey, what a coincidence haha cya guys next week although I would argue Makoto will still save them though they can join Laurent's group lmao 
Me when I see a good porno- Ah.
Woah Abbie plays video games? Haha I wonder what she's playing wrong answers only
P.S. Ah, Makoto saying "she's good" and covering his mouth is literally my impression of this arc so far, seeing in awe lol and he just gets to watch and be a translator
P.P.S. "Incidentally, (Clarke) wearing that outfit really looks like Sam" Yeah no shit Laurent they don't call them gay brothers for nothing

アニメ Majou no Tabitabi
"This is a story about love" This is a story about how I fell in love with Hondo Kaede haha okay me
Why would you call it "fall in love"? Because it's a trap you fall into and can never get out of it again- Oh that's marriage? Ah, I see. *laughs* And yeah, not like you'll know Elaina you're only... 18? Haha hey that's pretty young man I miss those days. *laughs* Also, that was quite an intro, her stumbling into a... country practically burnt to the ground in a mass of snow. In this new episode (#MajoTabi04) where if you are bad with people (communication wise) you'll be glad to know you don't have to interact with anyone in the place Elaina is going to because... there isn't anybody. RIP, everyone. And to get this out of the way, this week's special guest to the Elaina podcast series (lol I meant the Anime not the radio show) is Lynn-san, and man she sounds great in this one. Hard to see her in Anime these days, and Instagram if you want more of her haha. So, story. This is a story about everything going according to plan. We'll talk about why later, because as Elaina recalls of a certain story (I guess, to make this easier to understand), she reaches the city... burnt to the ground. Well, I guess we're done here, huh. Cya guys next episode- Okay she found someone. Elaina went to the castle which is surprisingly the only building standing, and found the princess of the nation. She... besides living a great life in the castle in case you haven't noticed, surrounded by a magic barrier as Elaina passed through it, saw a letter by her bed to remind her of where she is. Yeah, she somehow lost her memories of what happened. This letter, in summary, talks about the current situation where a dragon rules the city when in night, which is probably also what happened, and is instructed to kill it. Oh also, the princess here is also a witch. Then how does she not know- YEAH NO SHIT she lost her memory she also probably forgot how to magic. Man, this story is getting dumber the further you read down the letter lol. And I guess, that's why Elaina is here. "I'll be watching you from a safe distance" Haha hey no one said she's gonna help lmao hey dear author you wanna rewrite this script?? *laughs* Anyways, not that her asking Elaina for help will be required anyways, because as you see her slowly regain her memories and devise a plan to defeat the beast, Elaina practically was just there to watch the show. Hey, just like us. We're here to watch her though lmao okay me. And as much as they have prepared for the battle the next night coming, Elaina still can't help but just stay away from the action lest this plan fails badly and she is killed by the dragon because considering how far this series goes it never ends well so *laughs* So, in the night of battle, everything went according to plan as Elaina watch the princess unleash her magic on the dragon as she leads it into a magic covered hole deep enough that it can't climb out of it, to say the least. Hey, all thanks to Elaina's magic I guess. Though I would argue the princess can do it herself but you know, she did treat her to breakfast and a good night's sleep. (Man, the irony when they sleep in peace while the dragon wrecks havoc in the background) (Still better than me sleeping with the park nearby being noisy as heck at midnight lol) And as the memories resurface back in her mind, the princess then recalls - as explained by Elaina later - how her love fell out when her father (coincidentally also king of this very nation) rejected her love for the cook in the castle (I mean, "dad, you know he can give me happiness if he can feed me for the rest of my life) (haha) which in the end I assume the father forgot she was a witch, cursed her father into a dragon that ruined the city (why though, she can just kill him normally), and placed a backup plan for herself such that she can recover after the curse by sacrificing her memories. This hardly will make any sense anyways, but considering her evil laugh and how she eats breakfast normally (without Elaina), it's that "minikui" situation again, ladies and gentlemen. Story aside, I must say this is the best magic action we've seen this far, though I'll hardly call this a fight it's just a witch owning the heck out of a dragon lol. I want to see Elaina do magic though and not like, for digging up a hole haha. Cya guys next week for more depressing stories I guess. Alternatively, dear princess, you could've just faked a poisoning of your dad or something, or curse him to become a clown or something. At least your mom can take over the nation lol bye
[TL:DR; So yeah in this world ALL women should be witches haha feminism whatever wave baby]
This is the content I was in for lol
Not what I expected to GIF out of but this is cute hehe
P.S. Being a travelling witch in this world is basically in this episode, Elaina walks to the entrance of an abandoned castle, knocks on the door where no one answers, takes a step back and burns the door down lol you see this is power haha
P.P.S. "I'm Mila-Rose" *gets DOAX flashbacks* Ugh, uh, hi. *laughs*
[I like the logic of the princess doesn't know anything of what happened but can remember her name and Elaina asks why HEY BITCH you know you just saw a portrait of her down the hallway right?? Ya think?? *laughs* Oh and there's the letter too so]
Hey didn't expect to see worse things than freaking TOY ANIMAL SLAVERY??? YOU MONSTERS lol
This is real cool tbh the 3D effects blended in real well

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii
"... When will I have a warm home to return to?" Well Tsukasa, you can look no further haha man even her outside the mansion is good life
Ah, so in case you didn't understand the introduction to this week's... that's right before she saw Nasa-kun... get railed by a truck haha. So in this new episode (#ToniKawa04) finally, we get to know of Tsukasa's story. And yeah, Tsukasa, you "may not have anything to show off at this rate". *laughs* I think we learnt real well that it's about time Tsukasa had her own phone, huh. Oh well haha. Anyways, story first, because man, is this quite an episode. I'm sorry if you jumped out of this ship last week because are we kicking things off right now with an origin story... sort of haha. We're introduced to Tsukasa's past, specifically about her past living in a mansion with another girl Chitose and her.... great great grandmother if I didn't remember this wrongly (how old is she?) (well this is Japan so technically such people exist, of that age) and probably left the house because of... well, something. Yeah, so I gues that makes sense now for her to leave the family and ask the next guy who confesses to her to marry her so she can get out of that lifestyle... Hey isn't this the most Hayate story level ever?? Haha dear author I gotta give it to you here and kudos to the production for making sure the selling point is not the backstory lol. So, story. Last week, if you can recall, Nasa left the wife alone back home and her thinking in her own monologue is probably a bad idea (a certain someone said the same thing too, that younger sister), because besides being alone and thinking weird stuff (lol) she's also confronted by the new girl, who surprisingly is trying to get her back home. You know, where she initially belongs, I guess. And so, she told her to leave her alone, she's fine, and can live outside the house on her own. Oh also, she gotta tell her imouto that she's married. Heck, why is everyone so shocked about the marriage? *laughs* Yeah, I know right? Like it's some crazy thing too. *laughs* We'll get back as to why later (it's dumb too because comedy), but yeah, as she cries down the steps on the apartment being rejected by the elder sister... And then she saw Nasa-kun. Okay, hey bro, maybe you CAN help her *sees marriage papers* I don't think you can. *laughs* Yeah, besides ignoring the fact that they're kind of married now and they sort of have to live together (I would argue that Nasa-kun can go into the mansion but I guess not) (lol), and yeah, the legal process is indeed in order. I'm getting serious Alice to Zouroku flashbacks right now so we better be quick talking about the story lol. And then Nasa-kun got kidnapped. *laughs* Well, I guess Chitose is trying to knock some sense into Tsukasa, but not without using the most elaborate comedy approach ever to defile a marriage: journalism. *laughs* Man, can we not have so many jokes in one episode I was here for the wholesomeness not the... two... maids. *laughs* I'll leave the jokes in the episode for most of it, but suffice it to say, that eventually they did escape. You know, because the door was unlocked and Tsukasa can just waltz through the front door- Probably not the case but still. Anyways, even if the tabloid was made, the wife won't get angry anyway because besides realising what a smart and awesome guy she got married to (hey, I agree) (haha) and can fix her... moonstone problems lol (I'm not talking about her period, please) (lol), and come on, they are outside of home so it'll be wise to escape when they can, and so they did. Lol how dumb can these people get. Hey, turns out, Nasa-kun might be the smartest guy in this series haha. And escaping through a secret passage because all mansions have one at least (two if it's built during wartime lol), they surfaced in a church. Hey, how about her for the wedding, Nasa-kun? She likes it too and...that's how you save on the wedding!!!! *laughs* Sorry but I gotta haha. Yeah, kiss scene, everyone. This wholesomeness made up for the nonsense we got for 20 minutes. We're done. Thanks for watching I didn't know this was the last episode I thought it was Episode 1 okay I'm done I'll leave more of the jokes on the thumbnails lol
[TL:DR; I think I recorded Koko-chan saying "Listen to me when I talk!" when Chitose got burned by Nasa-kun haha if you want it just PM me on Twitter lol]
This is what Hata-san from "Seitokai Yakuindomo" calls a "big scoop" lol
Don't ask me who Lum-chan is but I know this reference on the bottom right that's "Sore ga Seiyuu" mascot right?
P.S. "Well, it isn't bad to also wait at home for your beloved too" Haha yeah man, not like I have that lol okay I have my parents maybe
P.P.S. "It's one thing to have a handphone, but I don't" Okay I guess we'll get to this at some point, huh, Nasa-kun? The wedding can wait bro lmao
[I like how Chitose's way of ruining people's marriage is through journalism haha this Anime is awesome MORE CHITOSE-CHAN! !lol]
Don't call me loli out here but tbh real me will just leave her alone
(I'm such a jerk lol but at least I'm not a loli...?)
Man you do NOT want to f**k around with Kitou Akari Tsukasa-chan haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week we did get through a lot of stuff, so I suppose I should talk about it here. Besides continuing on giving Pyxis' 1st album released back in 2016, I did focus on giving... newer... songs so for ClariS 10th anniversary albums though I did listen to it casually at work I also did not feel like giving any of the two new songs even though they just recently showed their faces. (You don't know? It's literally them 2nd on Trending on Tuesday during their online live) (Japan trending, yes) So yeah, pretty easily justified not giving the other oldies already for those who haven't got in, so I'll leave them as that. (Seriously, stop reminding me of Alice haha) So, for this week's new new songs (lol), Ueda Reina's new single unexpectedly will be on my shelf some time soon following ORESAMA's entry into Klassic Note Review (Why? I mean, you should've read my Tweets), a flood of circle's new album which I wished they didn't slap this year as the album title (just like Porno Graffitti's song back then, aptly titled "2012Spark" lol) was fine, but yeah their style like GLIM SPANKY is those standard types which will get me bored easily, but even giving by melody barely any can stay besides those which had a video on YouTube which is just those two, and finally, don't ask me why I gave THE BAWDIES' single from 2009 just because I watched what now is Japan's rock festival but only aired on TV (*ahem*), and I could use some '60s Rock, I guess. *laughs* Oh well, at least the song title will make of a good joke haha

On news this week on Twitter and hopefully related to music and sometimes Anime, you should have seen ClariS face reveal on their recent 10th anniversary online livestream even though it's just like two photos but man is Clara-san totally my type (lol reminds me of ChouCho which I also like tbh), congrats on Anime "Kaguya-sama" getting an OVA and a new season their 3rd season coming, Ajikan's vocalist Gotch's new music video is... I mean, I rather listen to THE ORAL CIGARETTES lol the setting is also a church somehow, and Minase Inori is releasing a new single due December to commemorate her 5th year singing songs I don't think I've mentioned this because you can also her her new song preview (quite a long one) on her radio show which is also uploaded to YouTube. The song though.. makes me miss "Wonder Caravan!" haha no seriously that song is great (for this one apparently is composed by the one in  her previous single topic song)

So for next week, we have a couple more releases to end the month of October, including Kitou Akari's 3rd single which I think I made my point so let's see if that'll even change by Wednesday, and ChouCho's new single which is a Klassic Note listen in what, 6 years? Yeah, for Anime "MajoTabi" ending theme, of course. Or else why would I listen to the subpar melodies- Hey, it depends on the composer, okay? She's writing the lyrics though so maybe that'll change something? I mean, the beats are weird I don't study music that much so I don't know what's with the 3/2 beats in this tbh




Wow I woke up this morning actually wanting to just watch Sangatsu no Phantasia's recent online live performance so bad, I went to check if I could buy the tickets to watch again and then remembered... yesterday's re-watch with Mia-san tweeting was the last day.  Oh well, some other time then, Mia-san. You looked real cool with the shadowed photos though, not gonna lie here. Cya guys next week then, and until next time I would say I'm keeping this short so we'll talk about if we would have a chance to ship THREE singles to the next package that'll hopefully reach me next month lol. We'll see about that I have to go back to work now bye

P.S. That "MajoTabi" Halloween event is tops but thanks to work I missed 20 minutes of... the least important parts haha I'm just there to hear Ede-chan and Kana-chan scream when running the blender for making their own smoothies lol the comments already know it's not well blended because of chunks when poured out

P.P.S. The above and Anzai Chika's... "chill stream" playing and freaking out of a sheep raising game I'm sure you have seen before is fuel for my screwed up work schedule this night I thank you all for making this suck less
