The Entertainment News 2021 Edition Issue #39

Man, maybe I should take a break from Anime watching for a season.

Haha, of course I'm saying this as a joke because otherwise you'll not get this weekly post anymore I'll just be talking about music, and even then it's kinda dependent on Anime too, so yeah, it has its own implications. So unless I start reviewing packages on a weekly basis and/or ditch blogging as a side hobby, I'll have to watch Anime for as long as I don't watch drama and movies on a weekly basis lol

So, without further ado, this week's a short one since most shows are either done or not yet premiered, and I have a wedding to attend on Sunday too, so... we'll see how I'll publish this after eating like, a ten-course meal because that's how Chinese wedding dinners work lol

アニメ Autumn 2021 Anime Preview

[Powered by Random Curiosity]

It's that time of the season again, as we will talk about new shows that will come in to find themselves a seat in my history of watching Anime haha. Well, I've been watching for a while so yeah. But it doesn't stop me from talking about then new shows so here they are:

(*Square brackets indicate first airing date synchronizing with licensing services worldwide, also my prospective shows to watch)

• I like how there's a Star Wars animation listed here "that's not mainstream Anime" lol so is Digimon so whatever
• Trust me, I want to make a joke about "Blue Period" but I think maybe I should not haha *dabs*
• "Mieruko-chan" [Premiers October 3rd 2021] got me earlier with their pre-release livestream which featured a stellar cast I don't think I need to mention who, but suffice it to say that this might be horror, but good chances not even us the audience will be spooked since the main girl doesn't even care, so think along the lines of "Hanako-kun" but there aren't any jump scares and I'm bored lol. Of course, that would be boring if there isn't contrast and that's why there's everyone else who can't see ghosts in the series lol. So yeah, I'll watch a couple of episodes just because of Amamiya Sora (ah-) (haha) and Hondo Kaede (hehe) to see if I will get spooked or bored of this, whichever comes first. I'll definitely not get bored of Ten-chan getting spooked IRL though it's the irony that creates that gap moe we all love MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
• "Tesla Note" [Premiers October 3rd 2021] will be on my list for another action series only if me giving chance to Kohara Konomi aka Koko-chan as main girl will be compensated by an actual good storytelling which either I missed watching or I'm just picky about since this one looks like it's about portals, and this is kind of sci-fi so if I see mechs then I'll stop. I'll try for an episode though; I've seen the original manga work and I think I can give it a chance- IS THAT 3DCG?? Haha I'll really need to think twice now
• "Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu" sounds like me in real life being dead and alive but I don't have to be a vampire lmao
• "Shin no Nakama" has such a long title, I rather not mention about it but I did because that's the only thing that will get you unless you're into isekai bullsh*t just like half of the shows in this list lol [Well technically everything is in an alternate world from real life but they had to put on another layer which is the worst]
• At this point I'm giving "Komi-san wa, Komyushou Desu." [Premiers October 6th 2021] literally because main girl is none other than star of "Kaguya-sama" and my new favourite (lol) Koga Aoi, but also because this is the most perfect Anime romance scenario I wish I had: helping a girl make friends while being her best friend yourself. *giggles* It's not really that, I swear this will have plenty of life lessons I'll have to relate to eventually (ugh my head hurts), so we shall see how much I can stand myself appearing in an Anime as a female haha
• Thanks to Anzai Chika promoting this series which is how I heard of "Taishou Otome Otogibanashi" [Premiers October 8th 2021], and I must say it's pretty intriguing to see another love story spawn out of being a rich descendant and lonely again, but with some historical era context and a cute fiancé from the start, I don't know how else to not give this a chance. I mean, find me a problem about this Anime- Chika-chan is the love rival!! Okay let's watch this lmao
• I am so sorry to say but I literally got jebaited into watching "Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi" [Premiers October 9th 2021] not because of the cast or the ending theme song by Horie Yui but because I've watched so many series in this age range and context of workplace... it's hard to look away from this one. It might just feel like a character focus series eg. "Uzaki-chan", but it's the slice-of-life on a more mature context instead of a school, which will appeal to me anyways. I'll definitely watch a couple of episodes to see if I can even live with the senpai because boy do I never want such a senior where I work haha- IS THAT SIDE CHARACTER ROMANCE WITH HAYAMI SAORI?? YES lol
• Man, this is like, 20 more sci-fi series than I expect in an Anime season please tone it down guys haha

As we can see above, looks like next season is- GODDAMMIT the first two I mentioned are Sunday shows so I hope you love that I talk about Anime on Mondays lol, and I think we have more comedy series ahead of us instead of just romance even though isn't romance comedy a thing anyways lol so yeah, let's see how they go. Chances I don't watch all of them aren't very high because we seriously shouldn't go for more than 4 shows which is this season my Sundays are rough, so we shall see. Is this going to be the first time I'm going to review Anime twice a week regularly? I hope not lol

Also, I like how I'm totally influenced by cast now I didn't even bother looking at the others even if they are not sci-fi or fantasy lol (Not great, me, not great)

アニメ Sonny Boy

"Death in This World is a little complicated" Wow you don't say?

Man, what is with that summer camp feel in the island with the Nagara gang? *laughs* Hey, they gotta squeeze in that soundtrack somewhere haha. In this new episode though (#SonnyBoy11) let us not forget about the passing of Nozomi. No really, she's gone now, as much as we have loved her presence and no matter how much Asakaze loved her... even he didn't appear at her funeral service so f**k you bro and your boob desires lol. Anyways, RIP Nozomi and also why are we then talking about death? Yeah, this is kind of ambiguous already if you think about it. So, story. It has been 2000 years it seems in this world they were stuck in, and I'm not going to cringe on a funeral so let's move on, Rajdhani is back from his vacation lol. He was back for a reason though, for a project that can get them out of this world and he's staying for some reason: Project Robinson. If you find that name familiar I don't lol, but suffice it to say they are going to cause environmental destruction so bad conservationists will scream through their screens lol not that, but thanks to Nozomi's powers being left over... I have no more guts to say this anymore, but yes, that's how they all got to know how to leave this world, I guess. The result is just a space shuttle reaching to the stars, which is ironically what Nozomi probably saw all the time, the exit to this hell scape. Before we take off though, I'll touch on a couple of stories Bill Nye talked about his journeys where if you recall, started with a boat. Firstly, the love story about nostalgia. It says a lot about the world adrift they were in, with the guy stuck on the past because you know, why go back when you can just recreate the world you lived in...? Sure man, that's how you get girls to leave you haha. (Jokes on me I don't even get to do this and girls never stayed with me BOOM haha) But this one had an easy conclusion: The idea of being together is to create a future together, not live in the past. The other story though, was a little more shady, but I think, it's necessary to talk about. In his story to Nagara about death, he saw someone in one world do all sorts of evil stuff in the face of how this universe works, attempting to create "Death" which we technically just witnessed with Nozomi last week so I don't know why he didn't consider jumping off a cliff an option lol, but yeah, I won't describe it but if electrocution is anything to come by as liberation (ugh), it's probably just a good tool to remove all meaning in one's soul and thus effectively create death, meaningless in life that will even piss of the God in this world. Weird, Bill Nye didn't try out the chair himself thank goodness, but it's sort of necessary to talk about in the darkest times of this world, ironically where no one wants to leave now and one can die in this world? Man, this is making me puke let's move on haha. Lastly, I assume with Mizuho's powers they can order a NASA into the world lol, and along with the cats and Bill Nye's handy tools which we'll never get in this world for another century maybe longer, they managed to do what SpaceX will take billions of dollars and years of man effort to do. Hey, I'm not into real space shuttle launches but I'm digging this for some reason, don't mind me. And yeah blah blah Nozomi asking for a promise to be friends with Nagara again once they go back to the real world. *sob* All in all, very perspective of what will be concluding of this series which is a big question mark in itself, and as we see Nagara and Mizuho reach for the compass and Voice's smirk in his seat... I doubt this will go along as smooth as we think. Remember the last time they tried to go back to their real world through cutting of life footage or something? Can't wait to be busted by "War" this time around though, though can we even consider him to be alive now? I don't know. I don't know everything and I don't even bother reading the powers explained in their official Twitter account so I REALLY don't know haha. Let's see if the final episode can make me think twice about regretting to give this in the first place. See you then.

Global environmental conservationism is...

Global environment conservationism is...
(lol)

P.S. "... don't you feel homesick? You've been alone for almost 2000 years, right?" Haha Mizuho, that is a question I ask myself every day and I'm not even away from home lol

P.P.S. "The actual girl was not nearly as pretty as her image" lol says a lot about social media in general haha got all of them "But the girl really loved him" And that's all it matters people just need to look good ONCE lmao

[Mizuho is adorable and we don't have Nozomi anymore so more of Mizuho lol RIP Nozomi you were great]

Literally us as kids putting our hand out of the window and getting scolded by our parents lol
(Well in this world you do whatever)

Could've been better with a "nya" but I guess not
(Hehe)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week is quite a week of new songs, so let's talk about them! Yuzuki Choco's first song is not on my list, I must not be biased even if I like her voice, because I mean, hear the other five songs sung by VTubers I've given earlier this month. *laughs* PURPLE HUMPTY's latest single did take some getting used to since they are not high in production, and you know, they like to shit on me (lol "live a long life" but I don't wanna) but I still gave them a couple of songs. Whether I'll listen to the ones from this year... maybe not haha or next year probably. Anime "Sonny Boy" soundtrack offers wonders because clearly some producer spent a lot of money on the soundtrack, and interestingly I'm giving songs I have not initially wanted to give so... they got me haha. Porno Graffitti's new single in years isn't exactly ground-breaking considering I did miss a couple of years giving them songs because giving songs in Klassic Note be like a fighting game combo lol, so yeah, I gave the one song as promised when I heard it at the start of the year. Last but not least, Earphones' new EP might have taken the spotlight because despite being a concept release and appealing to an international audience with that one song (instead of releasing new languages of it, Akarin and Kana-chan) (haha), it also has great melodies apart from that one opening song from Anime "Sore ga Seiyuu" because I swear the one remake song from Goose house is an improvement of the original. This one is not. *laughs* I feel like I should say this because they are all in digital streaming platforms so help yourself to some new tunes, yes?

On news concerning music and it's on Twitter and sorry if I missed any I'll cover them next week, don't ask me why they had the budget to make Sangatsu no Phantasia's new music video featuring real life Mia-san lol, SHE'S new music video is a cool concept with the girl in love with inner selves but I didn't like the song so no thanks for the album next month, cinema staff will be releasing a new album and I like how they reminded us it's four years ago considering there was a period of also four years they were releasing - mind you - one album every year, one of my favourite songs from RYTHEM is covered by themselves on their YouTube channel in case you don't know they are back, LuckLife's new album will be releasing in December this year so yay those digital singles are paying off (you're not reading things they posted it twice lol), PHONO TONES released a new song and I'm not that keen but the music video is cute I guess (it's got doggos!) and yanaginagi is releasing a new single in November for Anime of course but for me it's her compositions that sell anyways. ORESAMA's new song is fine but I think I'll wait until their new album release end of October to really get into their dance pop hype. Aimer has officially moved to her own independent label because apparently this is trending with artists now lol ironically though it won't affect their compositions but no guarantee for credits though so goodbye Anime series with theme songs which she was famous for. (Oh maybe because she's singing for the "Kimetsu no Yaiba" movie theme song? Oooooooo) Also also, her new single which is releasing next year will be coupled with a B-side compilation which in case you don't know what that is just take it as a best album to bait those who have heard of the single and don't know who she is. Haha we got another one! To add on, we have Minase Inori singing for the same Anime she did for her previous single which I didn't give so I hope this is not a trend tbh, SHE'S released a live video of one of my favourite songs of them again, and nano.RIPE finally announced a new mini-album from their acoustic livestream which I missed and due in November, but interestingly it's only digital so... I guess it doesn't matter? Haha I just need to get back to them again man...

So for next week, and yes this is the most anticipated week of the year also because it's ending lmao, we have Hanazawa Kana's new single since her... marriage announcement two years ago lol, but it's probably not affecting me giving songs since her buddy composer Kitagawa (which I assume they had to get him again after moving music labels) (FYI to the one Taketatsu Ayana is in) is writing the topic songs and they got Chinese people to write Chinese versions of the three... new... songs- Yep. *laughs* No comment, by the way. Hoshimachi Suisei's 1st album will be the first time I'll be giving an album release from a virtual YouTube in case you have no idea who those are she just has a great voice just like all the others (if you don't count non-Japanese lol), and sadly she will be competing against Yogee New Waves' new album in two years and goddamn if this isn't a long time waiting. The topic song is great so let's hope the rest of the release is also good. (Edit: Wrong date; I have a feeling I shared this before already haha Sui-chan you're good lol)




Wow, if you didn't know about this I won't blame you, but for about 2 days iTunes for Windows (Desktop and Microsoft Store version, I use the latter since easier to install) was down due to a start-up error after an update which will not be solved if you change the language lol thanks Internet, really made me think about my music subscription for a while. Apart from spending two days without a low-memory consumption music player, I also didn't get to access my library which I use it to update my now music database to know of availability. So yeah, can I sue Apple? *laughs* Cya guys next time then, and until next time... turns out the hardest thing is to buy that Taketatsu Ayana single from 2013 because of her recent "concept" album and maybe her popularity was that good. I'll try Suruga-ya but they won't let me bundle with bromides. *laughs* I'll try for Amazon Japan haha bye

P.S. Well it wasn't too long so you wouldn't notice a difference in post time but man is hosting a wedding dinner a little damp in such tried times. But boy, was the food good. Never in my life have I wanted to ask for rice to pair with the dishes that came out lol I was just too full halfway through though lol
