The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #46

Hey, another week has passed by, you know what that means...!!

My dear imouto Nan-chan's single review is next week!! *giggles* Ah hey, no one said the news around the world and/or my life is any important. BUT!! *laughs* Also Elon doesn't like me so I may think of moving Klassic Note to Instagram; They have support for sharing in Apple Music too.

*silence*

On the good news side though, after much dedication (for the week haha) of doing some exercise for the week ie. like every other day for an hour max... hey guess what, I feel better now, what a surprise. Turns out I just have to be normal and watch more Anime and listen to more Japanese music!!! *dabs* Okay let's get to it though I saw enough spoilers for BLEACH on the Japanese bulletin boards haha yes I read that also apparently they review episodes by putting screencaps with Twitter tweets and people commenting on those is actually ironically funny if you can understand OR have Google Translate handy lol

アニメ Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen

"(Ichigo's) Bankai can't be stolen by Quincies!" Well, ironically it's not that it can't be, but also, he's main guy so of course not haha

I appreciate Zaraki's enthusiasm for Ichigo's arrival to Soul Society haha but bro, not this soon I'm afraid. *giggles* For what happened in this new episode (#BLEACHTYBW05) wouldn't make the Kenpachi himself too happy just yet, because damn, is Ichigo stuck in the world of Garganta. Alone. In a spiritual energy jail from the enemy. Hmm... now what? *laughs* So yes, guys, this is the beat'em up arc and I mean the shinigami because damn did the enemy put themselves at such an advantage I would say they are cheating, and they did steal their powers away from them so yeah, totally. *laughs* Man, do we still have so much to talk about, just like Zaraki's overflowing desire for fight. So let's ignore Ichigo stuck in that jail and discuss about the fights of the shinigami. Firstly, Byakuya not doing too well though, as so is Renji. After losing his Bankai, the captain really can't do much as to even fight against the enemy considering also yes, they can use their Bankai against them. As As Nodt (lol) noted (not grammar mistake btw) with his deep voice and boy I've never heard harem master voice actor Matsuoka sound so boring before lmao but I guess it's adequate haha we have been here from that Lycoris Anime, there's no way one can fight against their Bankai with just even their Shikai, and even then you still gotta find out your own sword's weakness in order to retaliate, so that's not fun. (In his defence mine's a Kido-based sword and I excel at Kido so f**k me too if mine gets stolen haha maybe I can do punches like Yamamoto to Wonderweiss? lol) (My bro is right just modify to prevent it from killing thyself like Mayuri) So yeah, no surprise, they all got beat up real bad, and maybe we are hoping that Ichigo will come and save all of them at some point. Not now though, they are on their own, Rukia included. Next up, we can stop Ichigo from fighting in Soul Society but we can't stop Kenpachi from killing three Sternritters at once. *laughs* Well, technically he didn't and we will eventually talk about why he only killed two of them hehe, but yeah, he strong. Not strong enough though considering he wants to fight against God's son so uh, maybe set the bar lower a bit, Zaraki. *giggles* Also his eyepatch isn't- Oh it's undone already. Oops. *laughs* Last but not least, and this is why I've been so hyped about this final arc, we have our first new Bankai reveal. Hisagi was fighting the one Sternritter who held now deceased (RIP) Sasakibe's powers and interestingly the powers live on as they die, we shall not talk about why Hisagi wouldn't use his Bankai considering his enemy can't hold two but then again what if another one drops in and goes into a suicide pact with him *wink* (Uh, that's... a light novel side story reveal haha), but regardless, old man geezer arrived to save his life but probably also, he might have realized a familiar attack that got his right-hand man in the grave. Spiritual grave, we call it. *giggles* Anyways, the same fate happened to Yamamoto as with Byakuya ie. the Bankai was used on him just not his which is a relief, because that fire can't be contained as he swiftly removed this overkill of an idiot. *laughs* Kenpachi, but better. *laughs* What IS the highlight of this episode though is the flashback, as we mentioned about how loyalty works here, Sasakibe is THE definition of loyalty in this story probably more than me for my work lol I need to change jobs haha, as he stays by old man all the time even going to the lengths of learning his Bankai to try to compensate for the old man's weaknesses which frankly is none lol, but still. To put a dent on him would make taking this kid more seriously, and also, know what it means to have to fight with someone who knows his sword, not like stupid Sternritter who thinks this Bankai is a toy. Pft, how disgusting. *laughs* All in all, I'm not going to talk about who killed Kirge but he's super dead now not even Ransotengai can save him lol, Ichigo will be stuck in there for a bit the Scrift's power is kinda absolute and that's the point, and next up, old man gonna fight Quincy God, so that'll be exciting. Not going to spoil the outcome but remember what I mentioned about a beat'em up? Sshh quiet me we gotta witness another Bankai release first. *wink* Haha see you all then.

[TL:DR; "The heart burns, even if the rain falls." Wow didn't realize Yamamoto geezer can give me such motivation in life I can't even]

Scenes where Tsukishima the Fullbringer would've inserted himself into:
Really, just replace As Nodt with him lol

Scenes where Tsukishima the Fullbringer would've inserted himself into:
Well, not like we can put the original user back in lmao

Scenes where Tsukishima the Fullbringer would've inserted himself into:
Tsukishima didn't lose a hand did he?
We can make that happen though haha

P.S. "Ichigo will come... I'm sure he will!" Eh, not yet, Rukia, not now haha these guys are too dependent on the main guy lol

P.P.S. "But you are enduring (the fear) so far by sheer force of will" Hey no shit dude hey As Nodt you may be the embodiment of fear but I've got the power of God and Anime on my side- Wait. *laughs* (Seriously though, one wouldn't fear anything after watching the nightmare that is "Babylon" lmao)

[In this week's famous quote we have Bambietta saying "What's going on here" lmao Ayachi you sure you forgot what happened? You just gave birth to a baby lmao *dabs* Also Ueda Reina is in this can you guess who she was for three seconds? *laughs* I live for the reveals of voice actors for the stuff NOT revealed in the game because they are too minor to be playable lmao also Suzuki Ryouta for younger Sasakibe LET'S GO]

I'VE WAITED ACTUAL YEARS FOR THIS but now that I saw it I'm not too impressed lol
(It's still great though, new Bankai reveals)

Let's get #GettingSlicedInHalf Trending on Twitter:
Poor Sternritter we don't even know his name haha

Let's get #GettingSlicedInHalf Trending on Twitter:
RIP Kirge you will not be missed lol

Let's get #GettingSlicedInHalf Trending on Twitter:
Sliced in half, but in many places

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

"What does a middle schooler know about college worries?" Hey what if Yanagi here is dating someone, eh? *laughs* Damn that'll be a good joke

Wow Yanagi-san you got your sister good alright, saying her's is middle schooler romance. *laughs* In this new episode where all the girls in Sakurai's class are doing a Uzaki Hana keeping him company haha (#UzakiChanS207), so yeah, we all think guys are lonely need to be accompanied, right? RIGHT?? *laughs* *looks at self* Oh well, I can be alone, don't mind me I don't have good grades. *laughs* While that might not seem to be a problem with Uzaki-chan here, even with Sakaki just breathing down her neck to make her wake up, it still really did not work on her somehow as she thought time in college was the factor stopping her relationship with her senpai but the reality is Sakurai just needs a gamer girl to talk to and her life would have been over. *laughs* Cue Uzaki Yanagi haha, Hana-chan (as I will refer to from here on) has a younger sister surprise surprise lol, plays games a lot too so don't ask how I would fare against her in a console FPS haha she probably knows the strats, and is SUPER interested in this whatever relationship her onee-san is having with this guy at school. Middle school level romance, but better. Haha give me a moment while I fetch some rice ie. order lunch. *dabs* Okay I'm back lmao then again, can't blame anyone else in the family (other than the mom lol she has problems) to be concerned about this Hana and her relationship with Sakurai, decides to poke real hard into her so often it makes the sister uncomfortable. *giggles* From seeing her suddenly wanting to make some bento for... the whole family haha why has it come down to this it was only for the one guy, to thinking of getting up early to go outdoors which is unlikely for a gamer like her and I also mean Sakurai haha TO VISIT THE SISTER AT THE WORKPLACE?? Dude, you smart. *laughs* Then again, remember when we talked about Hana-chan being middle schooler? *laughs* So yeah, instant paralysis for the sister working on a Sunday and boy did I laugh out hard on that, as Yanagi tries to get the attention of Sakurai just to know more about him, I must say maybe it's just on her character but great choice on doing all of this after the morning peak crowd lol that's me on weekends too I eat breakfast past nine *dabs*, really got into conversation with this maybe future brother-in-law (just maybe) by talking about the stuff they like the most: video games. Yep, and that's why there's a resident gamer in the Uzaki family, and it's not the brother. *laughs* All in all... I hope that's enough to be honest. *laughs* Yeah Hana-chan here is feeling the pain we should stop bullying her. *laughs* But damn, really didn't expect much of this development until it happens though. Hey, maybe the guys in the Uzaki family are this impression until we get into the stories of MILF and gamers, amirite fellas?? *dabs* Don't ask me why these genres but it works on Sakurai, so he wins. *laughs* Uzaki Hana, what did you say about timeline? *giggles* I gotta go to cook more rice, I gotta haha I really wonder what can be up next maybe get the brother involved from what was in the next episode title

Only in Anime can you have boomerang stuck into someone's huge rack-
(Haha or a round trip on Instagram and you'll find one)

I saw this and I already know this gonna be good episode hehe

P.S. "Sakaki, one shouldn't assume (girls are chasing Sakurai)" "Look who's talking" HAHA hey I don't know who got bombed, but someone did. *laughs*

P.P.S. "In one year, I'll make senpai confess his love for me!" Hey Shinomiya Kaguya, I found you a friend lol then again she has moved on so Uzaki-chan you should too *wink* "What's a good way for senpai to confess to me?" Man f**k off haha "Sakaki's become more outspoken too" Yeah old man he's just sick of this SH*T-

[Just a note as I've mentioned on my Twitter profile, the physical single which was slated for end of this month including both theme songs has been cancelled, by the way, so listen to them digital as they come out, yes? Haha this is a first for this news even for me]

Me thinking of my future as I reach 30 lol

My mom when she thinks I have a girlfriend lol

And that's why I never want to change things in life lmao
(All them bossypants staring at me haha my sis isn't though but my parents)

アニメ Koukyuu no Karasu

"Correct. I'm glad you realized (it was me, Bingyue)" No shit bro who else uses sorcery to possess women? *laughs*

I mean, not even in *ahem* do we have such a jebait, people. We had to call in fifth wave feminism to have a winter king just because a God said so. *laughs* Anyways, in this new episode where maybe liberating my soul could be done by the one and only Jusetsu haha ah hey (#KoukyuuNoKarasu07), hey we finally got to see for ourselves Bingyue Jusetsu's true form. *giggles* No really, who gives a shit about that weak f**k we have what technically is God's messenger here, bro. So, what I thought was revenge of the previous dynasty turned out to be not the case. I also assumed that Bingyue is some sorcerer who can live past his time and still do magic, but sadly, he's already dead and is possessing human bodies all this time around which will explain why Jiu-Jiu was holding something sharp to her neck. *silence* Hey, it got Jusetsu mad alright. Remember what your predecessor mentioned about not forming relationships? This is attachment, I tell ya. *giggles* Ignoring that, she did a great job despite knowing this guy is already dead, and would still listen to his request even if she wasn't blackmailed, still ended up helping him just because she respects her own job of... moderating souls in this world? Yeah, I think. Anyways, it has got to to with Bingyue's partner probably fiancé at this point, but hey, we know where she is right now, up on a willow tree as a ghost. *silence* *ahem* Did I mention this story was dark? Yeah, take note on that. As their engagement was in order, so was a change of dynasty. All of them were dead with reasons I don't want to explain, but the partner chose to hang herself to prevent ridicule, and also chose to keep the marriage gift ie. a comb, a secret so to not let this treasure be taken away by people of the new era. So, she buried it. Thank goodness. So that's a story done haha yeah this is it by the way I was expecting some backstabbing but turns out the only thing we stabbed this episode was a cursed beast haunting the emperor's bed. Yeah. About that, and that's why the golden chicken technically didn't stop Jusetsu and why she has to act on this alone, is because she found a familiar smell of a beast by the bed and couldn't help but notice also why the aide talked about souls of the emperor's loved ones coming in to protect said entity. It was a curse, set by you guessed it, that damn Dowager before she was beheaded to make sure the emperor was cursed beyond his life and forever even after she is gone. Damn. Women, amirite?? *laughs* Well, just this woman, because not only did Jusetsu help to send that cursed beast away, she also helped the emperor's best buddy and his mother depart into the afterlife. Hey, what other benefactor will save you in this way, and is cute? *wink* Last but not least, the new laws of the dynasty. I would expect the emperor had to explain the reasons behind these changes to his officials, but as the Consorts were busy having tea and their faces stuffed with buns lmao I was referring to just Jusetsu hehe kawaii, he came in to deliver the good news at her place, mostly about how he changed laws to stop the policy of killing the previous dynasty Luan race, set up rules to do king level respect between the two kings and so that's why the emperor kneeled in front of her, and how he wants to be friends with her. Well the last one is just personal to be honest haha but damn if every generation was like this such that the previous two things will work in the empire's favour, that'll be nice. But we know that's not true, so we shall see how it goes then. Also, Jiu-Jiu was not a friend by the way, status not high enough. *laughs* *ahem* Man, I really hope this is still the honeymoon period because apart from the kings not being able to date each other lmao, I would like to not think that this is a prelude to something bad to end the series. Hey, I don't know *ahem* something bad can still happen. *laughs* But damn, this is quite a story so far, ladies and gentlemen. If it hasn't satisfied your drama-filled mind yet, it has for me. Maybe viewing everything bad from the start might not be great, but what do I know. There is still chance for a rebellion... right? Yeah, just not between the kings, but everything can change I guess. Haha let's see how bad this gets moving on.

[TL:DR; The summer king is to protect the other from the adversities of physical rule, while the winter king is to protect the other from spiritual elements. Man, this is such a tale of balance I actually like it tbh]

This is as ironic as it's funny I can't even
(*Not Hungry Ghost Festival by the way)

What I envision retirement is like for me
(Haha)

Okay this is real cool to be honest
(Also when my girl wants ice cream at 3am lol)

P.S. "If you aren't able to get over to Heaven, let me send you there" Wow Jusetsu I didn't realize how cool that is and how much I want to go to Heaven right now lol *dabs*
P.P.S. "Why would (Bingyue) bother to give up the Luan family name?" Because white hair is not the trend now? Haha I don't know man so isn't long hair for males now so

[Damn is Jusetsu uber cute this episode so let's put in more thumbnails as we speak, yes? *giggles*]

Poor golden chicken lmao yes Jusetsu please look down on me haha
(Also Xing-Xing MVP by the way)

May I ask why is she ALWAYS amazed at food?
Haha either she's a foodie or they have not been treating their consorts the winter king well- *ahem*

Shy Anime girl in period drama? Haha *chef's kiss*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Wow this week is filled with such great songs, this might be the best week for the month. Well, considering next week is a blank it's no wonder. *laughs* Natsukawa Shiina's new single is the best I've heard so far this year because they combined the best of what was her 3rd single with an emotional tune for the topic song and something quirky and cute for the B-side the composer praised her for her lyrics composition, it's hard for me to not give it. Not... give it beforehand haha yes I've heard them in full long before through her Monday late night radio show (of course I watched an archive courtesy of China lol) so I already pre-ordered it. But because I live in not Japan and I want to save a buck or two in international shipping because it won't appear by today anyways which the paper form with a registration code (to get a chance to get a potted plant decorated by her) due by today is INSIDE of the physical release... we'll talk about more next week. *giggles* Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new single was close for me to put it in this order too to be honest but it didn't but damn are we already at that stage where I can deal with the comforts of listening to this band's songs and not worry if they are bad. Well, for this year, to say the least. We shall see moving on I'm only getting more critical of giving melodies by the year so don't mind me. *giggles* I also listened to wacci's new album because I've listened to their songs even this year, and picked up a couple of emotional tunes that caught my ears. I don't think they are great so my expectations aren't high, but even then it's not like they took a sweep for the week; Nan-chan did it better lol.

In news on Twitter which help liberate political topics from Trending because Elon Musk is a genius and predicted that the list was controlled by politicians in Japan haha what, Natsukawa Shiina did a live premiere on YouTube yesterday which is a first for secluded money-driven (lol) talent company and music label MusicRay'n because not did they add in a live audio commentary through Twitter Spaces (in where she bumped the mic lmao) so mobile users had to sign up for YouTube Premium to listen to both at the same time haha and even if you did watch live you'll just listening to the Twitter monologue ALSO they kept all in archive for at least a week if I didn't hear wrongly just because so thanks and good luck trying to sync those together not live, Toyota Moe's solo album has been successfully funded well past its goal which will now include three new cover songs and a 32-page photobook without bikini lmao go see her past, Natsukawa Shiina's upcoming live release will also be on music streaming and has revealed four songs ahead of its official release end of the month wtf is this generosity haha, RYTHEM member Neat's Niitsu Yui's new album finished recording which sounds like we are going to have a great 2023 with her buddy yucat releasing a solo album too, this week's nostalgia on RYTHEM is their final single back in 2010 about goodbyes and I'm glad I didn't understand the lyrics to give the melody, Takahashi Rie's 2nd EP will be released early next year which includes that song and music video which brought me to my knees with that cuteness lmao okay me relax, and this one is the saddest one yet because Anime "Uzaki-chan" split single with Kano and MKLNtic CD release has been cancelled (yes, not postponed) which also means the only way to hear them is through music streaming with the latter artist's releasing end of the month instead. Man, first time I've heard of this even in my 15 years of Klassic Note, by the way. I don't want to guess what happened but I did so...

So next week we have an empty week on our hands until we have to deal with more Anime theme songs of obligation haha, but maybe by then we will have Humbreader's new album appear on streaming sites, maybe something from Natsukawa Shiina after listening to her live yesterday which I barely did lol see previous paragraph, from the other live festival I've seen too one of DYGL's new songs for the year got me in the relaxed feels department so that or maybe I'll listen to Electrico's new EP from last year just because I recalled this Singapore rock band was a thing and they came back to dump their music library on streaming AND released new songs, and I might just tune in to some more Hitsujibungaku if I have the time. Not going to check all the boxes until then though, no promises as always I haven't started on the latter yet. I also finally finished updating the Klassic Note official website utilizing the new stuff on the web hosting service I'm using lol, so be sure to check it out!




Hey, I hope you guys had a great Sunday because I did despite leaving the house TWICE today against my will. *laughs* Oh well, can't always stay at home gotta expose myself to the outside world once in a while. *giggles* Anyways, see you guys next time then, I hope something here caught your interest even if that means no one ever walks into here, and until next time... I'm learning more about web UI/UX... at work hehe they won't know. Haha I just need the time to make changes to my GitHub Page though... *laughs*

P.S. I still CANNOT believe that off all places "BLEACH" at least this final arc is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. And coincidentally yes, I have a subscription but not for this purpose it was for a Twitch Prime sub, but damn, now I can watch this anytime on the go... if I install the app haha bandwidth doesn't matter I have a cheap data plan hehe *dabs*
