The Entertainment News '23 Issue #05

Man, am I tired from sick of yesterday afternoon but considering I don't even give a damn about that [REDACTED] yesterday, I literally took the wrong bus TWICE haha... Is that what it feels for everyone? To not care about timeliness? I mean, I was on my way home and was distracted by ordering of dinner for the family but people do this on a daily basis? How the f-

Hey everyone. I really thought of taking work leave... the following week for abnormal reasons because (1) my regular Twitch streamer will be on holiday means no mornings burnt where I have to watch him play and yes it's a him which means I can actually spend more time doing my own stuff, and (2) that is when the new package will... supposedly arrive after I consolidate it... hopefully next week. *silence* Yeah there is a lot of uncertainty on that so maybe I would not do that to myself who knows I'm already taking leave the day after my birthday *dabs*

Let's Anime and music! I'm back from... let's just say prayers lol not Christian btw, and I want to buy organic tea leaves later so maybe I stop listening to VTuber Himemori Luna play the electone and move on, yes?

アニメ Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai

"15 centimetres... That's generally considered the ideal height difference for a couple" So yeah Shiraishi, start growing taller bro lol

Yeah, it actually doesn't matter the female can be taller than you. You'll just be laughed at- Wait, he won't. *laughs* Hey as if this isn't much of ridicule to the guy especially he can't be noticed by none other than this girl lol in this new episode where we are dealing with Master Teaser Kubo-san (#KuboSan03), hey, tell me if watching romance isn't the best thing to get warmed up at this time of the year. Well, if you live in the Southern hemisphere I'm sorry lol, but suffice it to say that we are enjoying the cold winds right now, and boy does the wholesomeness in this series help with the warming up. So, for starters, it's new character time so we are introduced to Hotaru-chan okay that's a HORRIBLE Anime joke I'm sorry, Seita-kun. Man, is "kun" even the right honorific? Seita-chan? Ew. *laughs* Okay, Seita is Shiraishi's younger brother but I don't remember this guy's given name I guess we will find out when Kubo-san has to say it hehe, but let's just say we also don't know much of now the cutest character in this series since Kubo Nagisa (lol) so maybe we give him and his... somewhat literate sense some love, shall we? *giggles* Because honestly saying, my first impression of Seita here is ironically as much as the brother himself, kinda playing alone but not so alone that he's actually alone and that strangers will ask if he's lost lmao man this is a problem, but you know, playing around in the snow alone is kinda sad, he should get some friends. Hey, maybe he has the same problem as the brother, okay? We don't judge. Luckily, Kubo-san DID see the brother because she probably noticed why the guy left school on time since he promised to bring his brother out to play in the snow... alone haha it runs in the family, and it would've been great to take some hot drinks in this cold weather, eh? *giggles* I mean, I wouldn't take that also to be honest so he's basically me in Anime- I don't have a younger brother though. I have an elder sister but not as cringe as Kubo-san's one who ironically is working at a bookstore Shiraishi decided to visit because he wanted to get the bonus that comes with buying his usual manga serialization  magazine- BRO YOU ARE LITERALLY ME WITH CDs haha no one will understand me though. *sob* But yeah, it took a while before the crowd was cleared (lol) and he can get his own copy haha there is no rush no one is into that book with a scantily clad lady on the cover lmao. Interestingly some jerk placed a rated magazine on the book he wanted to get and uh, I guess this is him growing up so I won't blame him... He decided to, you know, take a peek- Return the book to its place which he can't go to anyways the 18+ section is probably off limits for him, and he got caught by the bookstore staff. *wink* Nothing much happened there he did return the book and got what he wanted, but as you would've guessed, the bossypants of a bookstore staff named Kubo told her sister about it after picking up his student ID as he dropped it on the store. No, really, REALLY shouldn't have told Nagisa about Shiraishi liking rack. *laughs* Then again we have seen the bra it isn't too bad but as my bro would've said it's not big enough- You think Shiraishi knows he has been backstabbed by a stranger? *laughs* Yeah don't worry, Kubo-san didn't mind that at all. Not one bit. *laughs* So as punishment lol I guess not really, she asked the guy to hang out with her... on a specific day in the winter season where couples go out. Yes, it's Christmas day, girl still bought him a gift too but it's still not as good as Shiraishi coming up with one in a shorter time than she did, gave her a pair of gloves to warm her hands up. Aw... All in all though, wholesome content plus bossy sister in the making haha the latter is already there already, and I'm digging this story of coincidences, I really do. Can't wait to see more people involved in Shiraishi's not loner life lol I can only envy to any extent honestly

That is just way too many stars on those eyes, really

This is too cute not to clip haha

P.S. "On cold days, there's nothing better than reading some manga in my room" Same dude but it's watching Anime for me haha

P.P.S. "I want the bonus poster that's included with the latest release... which is why I'm at a store far away from my house" Shiraishi is LITERALLY ME if I live in Japan haha I will go that far to get a CD
[More Kubo family images because why not though Shiraishi loves BOOBA haha]

TFW you find out your boi is into boobs and you don't have them lol
(Why isn't there a radio show for this Anime where Kana-chan talks about her lack thereof-)

She looks really harmless until you notice the "Kubo" nametag haha

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs

"I am an angel of murder" Oh boy please stay away from me

Maybe putting that as the opening quote is a bad idea. *laughs* Yes, no doubt we are talking about Fyodor whose Ability scares the heck out of people even in the past lest say present time, so let's see if this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs41) which brings us back to the new arc will give us anything worse. Oh, not Fyodor? I'm listening. *giggles* So, we are back with another mystery in real life, literally starting off with Kunikida in prison. Damn. Now what? *laughs* But yeah ignoring everything else Kunikida has to go through lol even Ranpo-kun knows to not deal with that or else this will take another couple of episodes haha, we know that Kunikida's statement of... can I even say it? Some kid blowing up in front of him. *cringe* Anyways, yeah, that is true, well, since Kunikida won't lie. Well he hasn't so far so let's assume his track record. *laughs* Either way, Ranpo can't figure out a way to prove him innocent so he's in there for now. But at this point, he thought of dealing with Poe remember that idiot rival of an Ability user? Haha was supposed to be meeting someone else, suddenly got dragged into Ranpo's investigations... but turns out, was relevant to Ranpo's case actually, so he got interested in what Poe was reading at the time - a novel without an ending. Surprise, the author was killed before it could be published, the final volume, and let's just say it is a coincidence that all of these cases may be related somehow. Or else how would there be an envelope on the top of the building which was supposed to be the location of the suspected user as told by an informant? The informant wasn't lying though, but some things are clearly not obvious on first look even from Ranpo's standpoint. Firstly, literally a murder happened at the building they were in, body thrown right in front of them. Second, the cops arrived on time. Like, the only reason that would be possible is that someone called beforehand. No spoilers but guess who. *giggles* So you can figure it out, the perpetrator was quite dumb haha, but even so, Ranpo can figure this guy out. Yep, being the famous detective we have seen crack cases like peanuts lol great Chinese New Year snack by the way haha, could figure out why this guy was pushed off the building, why his face was faked until it hit the ground face first so he would be unrecognizable, why his shoes were changed before the fall... but he could NOT figure out where the bad guy is. If we can't find evidence to where the criminal is then we can't apprehend him, simple. That's the whole purpose of (introducing) Ability user Oguri Mushitaro and his Ability "Perfect Crime", which will be kind of a joke in a bit but let's just say this gives him the power to cover his tracks in crime. At this point it looks like it's his own tracks because guess what, he is the guilty party. So basically this guy can fake all the evidence he wants using his Ability. And because Ranpo's Ability isn't exactly an Ability, he would still be able to see the truth. And that's why it doesn't work on him. Dumbass. *laughs* Okay I wish I was right, but sadly for Ranpo, just because his is reality and the Ability isn't his thing... this guy will get away with it. Every. Single. Time. But not this time though, as Ranpo decides to snoop around to see if he can get a ride with the guy's limo lol, still did not realize Ranpo has already figured him out even without more of his Ability in place. All in all... WE F**KING GOT HIM, dude. *laughs* Hey, this is half the fun of this series, stop ruining it for us, Ranpo. So yeah, I figured that out soon enough than the end of the episode honestly, but if you need a hint of sorts... it all boils down to the fact that this evidence manipulation Ability is not automatic. Imagine, if that in a perfect situation, this guy will ALWAYS forge all the evidence he has around him. But he's a human. HE is the guy who decides when evidence has to be manipulated. And when he doesn't, is when he will be found out. That's it. See if I'm right next week haha I better be but then again I'm not famous detective I don't have to be right lol

Me when I stare at the mirror every morning lmao
(No gel, dude, no need for it)

When you have to explain Atsushi to someone lol he's a very good tiger I'll give you that-

P.S. "Part of an operation of the Rats (to frame us)" What else is new haha it's the organization Fyodor runs FYI

P.P.S. "He looks like he wouldn't have many friends" You guys trying to apprehend me? *laughs* "You're not one to talk" Haha TRUE THOUGH

[For context, and if you are one of those people like me who will research on the actual authors they are named by as with all the characters in this series, Oguri-sensei is famous for writing science-based detective mysteries, likely from a time where science is still new and just like magic, crimes can be puzzling just due to the fact that science is involved. Go find out and join the Google search stats if you are keen haha]

アニメ Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken

"Amane's neighbour was the angel all along!?" This series in a nutshell lol

Hey, I said the wife in making thing somewhere not in my reviews, but you know, what do we know of Amane's intentions. *laughs* Oh he doesn't? LIAR haha in this new episode where the angel doesn't know sh*t lol (#OtonariNoTenshiSama04), well turns out everyone knows the truth now so what else is new. I like how Amane thinks he can hide this secret in due time haha but I guess too late now should have just locked the balcony, but yeah, introductions all around as we introduce extrovert girlfriend Chitose to the best girl in this series... and the buddy I guess lol we had to do a round of this, huh. So that took longer than I thought who cares if the buddy was a tsundere lmao, and I guess there are more people who know of Amane as a kid now, apart from Mahiru-chan here because the mom is now her friend and showed her pictures of the guy when he was younger lol. We were also talking about how happy he looks when eating food (bruh have you even seen the girls eat in Anime "Koufuku Graffiti" haha now THAT is orgasm-), and I guess this is not even the actual day they agreed on yet because they had to do more cooking and eating AND play video games on the following day? Can I just have that as my life now? I'll trade my life right now for that. *giggles* Oh, and that's just cooking alone. Without love. Ah hey hey, if you knew of cooking and how they say cooking for the ones you love are better... you are not alone. *giggles* I guess these two don't know about that yet, or maybe, she doesn't. I'm pretty sure Amane is well aware of the fact that this girl is doing all the care for him and he's just... giving her gifts back in return? Man, tell me they aren't a couple. With that, they spent the day playing video games- Can we not show the Nintendo Switch console thing again? Gamers be cringe when they hear "video games" but NOT see a PS5 lol. Last but not least though, maybe working too hard is also a thing for our angel lmao, Shiina-san oh dammit, Mahiru-chan had a fever. Probably not from being with the guy for too long because who won't, he looks dashing anyways haha *dabs* As I said they literally dropped an ikemen in her sad life, but let's just say she needs to rest or else how we get the fever away. Oh, holding hands while lying on his bed, that's  the most important for recovery. That's what happens when you don't choose to recover at your own place haha also she is still protecting her rooms I guess this place is public domain so technically safer for everything. *silence* I can already imagine Chitose or the mother Shihoko scream at the sight of this but I won't say too much on the aggression of Mahiru-chan on the dude. I won't. I will refrain myself from doing so, just how I did the rest of the episode. All in all... I'm already chill but I feel like I need a bottle of them chill pills because yeah, it's not happening yet. The ultimate scene. So until then... this guy's just trying to pick her up, right? I'm not hallucinating? Somewhere down the line there's a grin from the dude? *laughs* Like, he's just showering his girl with gifts as if I didn't see it and comes up with excuses for each of them. BRUH. *laughs* I'm still waiting for a drop. And I don't even see it from where I am now. That's my problem with this series for now. It's just... I watch every episode and I think I need therapy. *laughs* Yeah, just give me the pills, the super drowsy ones. Because damn, I wish I don't have to be paralyzed by this romance that has yet to exist. *silence* We will watch on, we will persevere. Well, I will. If you feel like dying at least tell me if you are female and maaaybe I'll come watch you sleep and hold your hand or something. *laughs* More cringe next week I guess I don't know if I can finish watching this tbh even if it's on Amazon Prime Video haha yeah

Okay tell me this is not a Super Mario reference

Yup this is totally NOT Mario Kart haha Nintendo you can't sue us

Oops slipped on a banana peel haha
*dabs*

P.S. "...and Fujimiya-san appeared to be living an unhealthy lifestyle..." So yeah why didn't you appear in my life to fix my unhealthy lifestyle? Let me check my neighbours now haha

P.P.S. "If (Chitose) gets too intense, feel free to slap her" HELL YEAH in the rear, right? Not on the face? *laughs* I'm so screwed either way lol

I keep saying Mahiru-chan here is kawaii but I swear I don't dare to approach these creatures IRL haha

You wish all girls are like that lol
(Oh, official Twitter did it too)

This is called instinct, ladies and gentlemen.
*giggles*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Well, this week's kind of a disaster. *laughs* I say that because it's a party to end the month, really. Whether it's a good party and how many people get sloshed and puked all over the place is not the point. Well, mostly me puking because it's hard to give songs at the start of this year already. Really, last week with two albums I literally found out on the week itself was easier. *giggles* Anyways, coming back, I thought I can give SCREEN mode's new single and specifically its B-side but I guess we will skip that and just give the Anime theme song just because. LuckLife's new single though was split into two versions for each Anime for being a double A-side single, both had different track lists and of course I listened to the "Bungou Stray Dogs" version which featured a new B-side which got me in, and I did give the two A-sides so... no Review, by the way. *laughs* These are all Limited Edition releases and I don't review those so *phew* that was a narrow squeak. We gonna break first review records this early? Haha no even close, I think like, someone else took the crown. Fuchigami Mai's concept mini-album is kinda okay, I'm not that keen on vocaloid artist compositions anyways and I did hear the bulk of them from the music videos posted on YouTube... apart from the final track which then also had a music video on release date when I gave the song itself. So yeah, turns out once again, better not to listen beforehand, always spells bad news. Well, that's the Klassic Note theory apparently so your mileage may vary. Takahashi Rie's new EP also went down the same track, but I did listen to the preview on YouTube last Sunday and immediately picked out the song I'll be keen on, and surprisingly, I still went with that which doesn't have a music video. I then told myself not to give more if I don't want to, and I didn't. *giggles* RYTHEM's new song got dropped on Friday and I'll talk about that again which wasn't a hard give if not for the super long ending with dialogue. halca's new album which I listened over the weekend was really meh it made me sick of the pop rock styles represented in it. I had no idea which song was the insert for the Anime "Kaguya-sama" movie until I realized that was also the only song which got me despite its mellow mood. So, uh, yay? Maybe I'll try giving that for the sake of it I guess, it doesn't sound too bad. That or I'll just come back to this again sometime this year with the same result...? I know right just give it then lol her vocals won't sound better half a year later haha

Oh yeah this week's news on Twitter needs to include last Sunday's news! Haha ah hey, I remember that. SCANDAL's new song is for a new Gundam game and they did say the promotional video gave a hint about the melody itself but sadly it's region locked. *shrugs* Gotch's new song has a music video now and not like that'll change the impression of me on the song it's just Gotoh-san singing in darkness as usual lol. krage's new live video is her singing now her most popular song if I'm not wrong but it is a good song which doesn't deserve a Chinese version lol so give it a listen. Ikimonogakari's new song (yes another one) is for the PreCure Anime series as it hits 20th anniversary and I guess I'll wait for some formal release before I will take a listen to them. Hanazawa Kana's new song (and we aren't even done with her upcoming single) is for a drama series it seems so that's kinda cool we don't see those every day. RYTHEM revealed a new song and best album details in their recent livestream on Friday night which is rather cool especially the song it has real vibes from 10 years ago and I mentioned it above already so I'll look forward to maaaaybe another song by the album in May. Fingers crossed, this might just be the only new song, that's how capitalism works. I just saw Homecomings new music video on YouTube (thanks Google) which is for a new song they are releasing more towards their 2nd major album which sounds like it's time for me to get into them again but maybe not now this one is a pass. 

So next week to start the new month, we have Hanazawa Kana's new single only because everyone else is next week that's the hype week for music releases apparently for next month, so that. I also found out that yucat's new mini-album is now on music streaming services now which was released physically a month ago, so let's hope her buddy Niitsu Yui will do the same with her new album. *silence* We can but hope I'm coping with this real hard I tell ya

So yeah, that's all for this week the weekend came and went and I STILL haven't done anything. *sigh* I really need to do something about this really. Maybe I should take that work leave the week after next, we shall see. Hey cya guys next week then, and until next time... we shall see if I have an answer to that I guess, and my recent obsession is... how much I want to see Asakura Momo with more skin. *silence* I'll read back on the photobook review from 4 years ago haha damn is it that long ago already? Girl, we need a new photobook haha also Ten-chan can you too? Maybe all three of them so I have a reason to repeat history lol

P.S. Signed up for Taketatsu Ayana fanclub because I think she deserved it more than I do but also we will talk about why soon, but damn is is very worth it at 440yen a month. *giggles* Oh only backdated six months haha wow you gotta be in it for all time to see it hey just in time for 5th anniversary? *laughs* Not gonna ask whether we can see her bloated stomach but seriously where's the milk coming out of her-

P.P.S. Will sign up for Rika-sama fanclub soon but I doubt this will be as worth it considering she is being real quiet compared to a mother lmao

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #04 Extra

Ah hey, welcome back. Still on holiday though; Waking up from a long sleep after being up to watch a livestream till 2am with the rain still pouring outside is SAIKOU!!! *laughs* Should have just stayed in longer but there's this I promised myself so

Oh boy did I take my time to sub to Kanno Mai's radio program channel on Niconico because you get to watch in full the monthly video livestream apart from the regular audio program which I missed last week because they only showed like 10 minutes of it, ended up being the best thing out there mainly because not only did she follow chat and had cup noodles and THEN spilled it in her first ever livestream screw-up, THEN had to fake it again because they were making eyecatch (the stuff you may have seen in Anime midway) and chat learned to vote overwhelmingly (92%) on repeating history over another option. *laughs* This is the best stream I've seen this year so far and I'm incredibly impressed by the coincidence and/or 200 IQ plays on this. *giggles* Also the shame on Mai-chan doing flying kiss is just *chef's kiss* she took it back though, just so you know. The kiss. *laughs*

Okay enough of her we can talk about her again next month near Valentine's Day for her next livestream hehe so let's talk about Anime! I guess we're not adding "Anime" in front of the "Extra" now or else the page address will screw up I hate you Blogger so let's see if Shii- Mahiru-chan here can win a REAL idol-

アニメ Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken

"Guys don't need charm anyway" Okay Amane allow me to beat you up on behalf of all single men in this universe

Oh damn we introducing mom now?? Okay, I'm in. *laughs* Well then again I'm not interested in moms haha not until I see the credits. *dabs* In this new episode where Mahiru-chan is always MVP and I'm going to regret saying that (#OtonariNoTenshiSama03), maybe not because then I can stop calling her Shiina-san since you know, the mom is right Mahiru-chan is cuter to call. *giggles* Okay, so, about the mother. She cute. *laughs* Oi, stop triggering mom fetishes here please haha, then again that is a familiar voice so I'm not going to explain Kanemoto Hisako to those who don't know of her, but let's say that this mother is very bossy. Like, she wants the son to get a girlfriend earlier than her husband type of bossy. Not that hard to be honest, because you know, she just needs to think that this friendship is it would do. Then again, what else you gonna think when you see some girl hiding in the bedroom of your son living alone? Only one would find that in a surprise check in on your son. But seriously parents out there, stop freaking out your kids living alone, they need some personal space for magic to happen. *giggles* But then again Amane, stop chasing out your mom like this, have some respect. I legit though we are dealing with some stepmom problems or something. Also, your problems can't be worse than Mahiru whose parents don't even call her by her name- MOVING ON haha, and what else is new when Amane gifts the girl some cake to celebrate her 1st place in results in school haha (yeah brag about it) in order to let the girl feel bad about the gift and feed him instead?? I'm sure a certain teacher would've bled out by now seeing all this feeding and name calling but hey, keeping it secret I guess. *giggles* It's great that's all we need in this story anyways everything else is not necessary. Well, maybe the cooking haha it's what keeps this relationship going. Speaking of, you would think Amane thought it's a great idea to be cooking himself so you know, don't have to depend on angel neighbour cook that much but seriously who are we lying to, even if he is real good at cooking I would rather fake it so I get free good food done and you know, maintain that relationship so as a surprise to no one, he can't cook for sh*t haha so we're good, nothing much changed there. And it looks like we have something going on for Christmas in this story going on, but probably because we are assuming that Amane is still spending it alone did the buddy's girlfriend decided to have some party at his place. Reasonable, but only on Christmas Eve and with the neighbour being alone? One would think that will be an issue at this point, really. *laughs* And so it happened, Mahiru-chan easily rejected all the guys for Christmas because guess what it's better to play video games with Amane-kun here hehe, and yeah I then recalled that the buddy and his girlfriend don't really know this nice girl next door to Amane who has been cooking for him and receiving gifts from him. So now what? *laughs* Yeah, in case you wonder how she can be involved in their party... *laughs* All in all... these two are literally doing couple things and they say they are friends. *silence* Sure, dude. *laughs* I think I can live with that, it has enough fuel to keep me going so far but it might be getting stale. I just hope moving forward it's not another 9 episodes of talking about food and taking care of the guy because that'll also be boring on the long run. We are hinted of not that happening so that's good. As long as you don't give me a bed with cameras and them in it, I should be fine. *ugh* We're just enjoying some simple boy-girl relationship that will blossom at some point but we don't know when so I guess we can only be patient and keep giving gifts and say pick-up lines and stuff haha she has no idea how love works by the way

Basically me if I cook lol

If you don't know of this reference it's understandable haha
(Nintendo Switch, by the way)

P.S. "Oh? Dishes for two?" Haha mom is detecting some sort of SUS in the house lol it's as if someone is eating with my son

P.P.S. "A male high school student is going to have one or two embarrassing things in his bedroom!" I mean, true, but typically it's like gravure magazines not a whole woman- *went to his bedroom* OIIIIIIII WHY YOU SLEEPING RIGHT THERRRRRRE haha

Woah woah what is happening here
(Haha)

This patching is not perfect, but she is.
*wink*

アニメ Kyokou Suiri

"It doesn't matter what (the wife) wrote. I had no reason to kill her." I mean, your wife doesn't think so though so... man haha

Yeah, you think the investigators are like, super biased about this guy taking revenge on his ex-wife? Haha I don't but you know, can't defy logic here. *wink* In this new episode where we learnt about a murder without a potential alibi (#KyokouSuiri15), dude, this b*tch just wants you to die. No joke. Marrying her was a mistake. Well, being nice is also a mistake so yeah, should have just sued her. *laughs* Anyways, we come back to the murder incident of the ex-wife as I will refer to from here on, and based on the initial talk with the stupid police investigators or if they dare to call themselves detectives *pft* haha, pretty much everything is pointed to Muroi-san here being a murder. Due to his nature of being kind to others no matter how much he is taken advantage of even to the extent of betrayal, he would never otherwise seek revenge on for example, the people in his ex-company who fired him off his President position before he ended up retiring to the mountains, if you would recall. But yeah, life has not been nice to him. We have a friend who wanted to push him off the mountains to get the same girl he liked. We have an ex-wife who, and I shall quote Kotoko right here, thinks that she might be some replacement to the snow woman she doesn't know of, and thought that something will befall upon her despite the divorce. But seriously, this wife already deserves to die how did Muroi-san even marry such a B*TCH is beyond my comprehension. *laughs* So yeah, really feels like the ex-wife wanted to die real bad by putting down all those hints we will figure out why later, but you know, why not put the ex-husband as the scapegoat because it's easier and she can technically get her revenge done and done as if getting half his assets isn't enough. *silence* Man, it's hard to make jokes here let's not forget Kuro-san has to work night shifts un a tunnel, okay? Haha I feel much better now. Not for Kotoko though, who especially arrived to talk to the couple about this specific incident so see if this logical genius can help him out. Turns out, I like how in the start she is already sloshing on the dude for being evil and thinking up all of this just to show how much Kotoko herself can manipulate reality to her favour which of course, in the face of logic, be able to solve mysteries like this which will otherwise be at a disadvantage for whoever involved. I liked the fear on Muroi's face like he killed someone lol spoiler alert he didn't, and she is technically right about the snow woman believing in him too much she might just help the guy in seeking revenge to the people who turned against him... But yeah, it's just a display of the power of arguments for now. Also, Kotoko is right, they didn't bang, so unlikely the guy is doing anything to gain the trust of a spirit to do terrible things on his behalf. But who knows? It can all be made up after all. *wink* All in all... I'm as usual watching this series, interested to know what happens next in the mystery of an incident. It is after all, a set of lies to deal with common logic, isn't it? As long as it works. That's what this series is about, and we will be talking about this again next episode when we are at it, so we can figure out what Kotoko-chan here might be here for anyways. So yeah, I'll take this with a pinch of salt and see how it carries itself on. Dealing with the police though? Maybe the cops are that dumb to believe her, who knows. *laughs*

EXPECTATION
(Snow women gotta kill, right? It's in the folklore)

REALITY
(Find someone who will pet you to sleep lol)

P.S. "(The ex-wife) might have felt like she was being compared to someone else this whole time" Yeah, to a spirit, dude? Better being single amirite fellas!?? *silence*

P.P.S. "The nerve he has to prioritize construction of a tunnel at night over his cute girlfriend..." Wait, what was that last part? *laughs* Inagawa Kotoko, everybody. 

映画 Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san Movie

"Thanks to you, it was easy for me (Takagi) to adjust." This series in a nutshell haha

Man, we have no idea on the anxieties of dear Nishikata and whatever he is experiencing when he has to deal with this girl, I tell ya. We will never know because we're all busy being jealous of this lucky bastard. *laughs* So yeah, in the epic conclusion to this teasing master of a middle school romance series (#TakagiSanMovie), I guess we should send this off properly, shall we? Let's. We start with something simple, you know, just to remind us what this series is essentially about. Well for starters, the guy Nishikata is an idiot. I better mention that first we don't want more of them reading this. *dabs* Also, ever wondered why Takagi is the one coming up with all the rules, like how you can't effectively use scissors in a game of scissors paper stone? You idiot? *laughs* Oh yeah, also he is ripped, doing push-ups for losing to Takagi. *laughs* Yes, and rich, gotta mention his savings account also due to being teased. Man, we know so many things about the two of them already, so what else is new? What is new though, it's we're reaching the final year of summer. Yes, before we become extinct- Before we graduate from middle school, by the way, these guys already dating before high school and I'm still a loser a decade and a half later. *silence* Anyways, we have a lot of setup going, just not for Houjou-san because she chose summer school instead of his newly found boyfriend so RIP him haha at least he's better off than I am lol got me dude, but for everyone else... looks like there's always something sadder to talk about. The three girls who really made me think this movie is for them lol, might be split up soon seeing Sanae-chan talking to the teacher about her going into city to pursue her passion for running, Kimura might be a prospective photographer while Takao is fishing himself whatever that is, an eel? Haha yeah, and the main couple be going to see fireflies. Well kinda, but Nishikata promised to help that poor guy out so he can have one last shopping trip with his girl, instead let the buddy suffer the same fate since you know, now Takagi has to wait for him to do volunteer work by entertain kids so they won't be scared holding a torch and worrying that some spirit will come after them. *silence* I'm not into ghosts. *laughs* Hey, rather believe in superstition, they say. Either way, we are in good hands because Nishikata is friends with the supposed scary thing, and Takagi loves the dark so she can do teasing stuff in the dark. *silence* I will not elaborate on that haha

"It would be nice if we can meet without any reason"

And so the couple met each other more often than not, and even found a reason to be together for all of summer: a wild kitty alone on the shrine. It almost felt like a blessing from the gods or maybe it's really just lost or something worse like the mom is not even around *silence* haha maybe we not think about sad things just yet because we got a cat to take care of! We met up with a pet shop owner, gave the kitty some food, gave it a name worthy of the bed of Glehnia flowers near the shrine, and they thought trying to find an owner for it would be a good idea. Of course it's hard to find someone for the cute little kitty as I say that haha, but above all else, it's probably a bad idea leaving it alone in the cracks of the shrine for shelter and maaaybe showering it with food from time to time, so I guess in the end Takagi's father had to make a compromise of accepting a cat in his place lol. Of course, this is a movie, so there had to be a drop, which is a likely scenario to what will happen if the kitty were to be left alone. I expected like, it found the mother or something but I guess it could be worse, it got picked up by another family which placed itself in the role of family cat since their previous one passed away. Welp, I guess that isn't a bad idea it did end up in the hands of a family who will have the capacity to take care of them, but for Takagi and Nishikata, it's a different story.

"It'll be strange if things were still the same after 50 years"

Like, if this is not a series that will remind you of the end of things, all great things had to end. From the girls having to wave Sanae-chan goodbye after doing their last list of things for summer together, to the main couple having to say goodbye to Hana-chan after taking care of it all summer... we all have something we can't bear to lose or say farewell to. And boy is the latter of the drops much heavier than I thought, but yeah, Takagi isn't taking this too well. To that, I guess Nishikata did compensate it with a confession? Awkward to say the least because damn did the girl not react to anything he said even if it's straight off what we all wanted to hear these past years since the series started, but yeah, I guess that's how they got together. Yeah, claps all around, we did it people, all we needed was something in common and then losing it. *silence* Okay maybe not that sad I can't bear to see Sanae-chan leave the gang anyways- Oh, thank goodness she didn't leave for the city. Three more years left, I guess. All in all, as I listen to the ending cover song which sounds like I watched another Studio Ghibli masterpiece but I'm not... I don't know. I feel like this end is not enough to make me love this series. Or maybe it's as much as Nishikata loves Takagi: Just enough. And that might just be it, right? They have so much going on for them, this is just the beginning. Maybe this will grow on me eventually, as I recall what a beautiful train wreck this has been watching all three seasons of Anime and concluding with this. It's not the best thing out there, but it did make me feel, so I'll give that much of an end a thumbs up. Really, maybe experience it for yourself. It might be short just like how everything is in life *sob*, but it's good, I will say that much. I just think it might be underwhelming in this case to do a confession though; most romance series would've been more proper with their confessions. But what do I know I've never been in love-

EXPECTATION
(Haha hell yeah this is middle schooler life)

REALITY
(Imagine you sleeping with a girl... outdoors lmao)

P.S. "I won't let Takagi-san tease me for three years in middle school in a row" Oh dude you have no idea haha

P.P.S. "And you will be stomped by an elephant! And chased by a bear in the forest! And a tiger and lion too" Oi kusogaki don't go too far with the jokes lol

Me when I have to work tomorrow lol

Nishikata in a nutshell haha

I feel like I've been soft. *silence* Wait, let me explain. *laughs* You know, watching Anime with softer feels, lighter mood, even just more jovial ones. Let's hope the "Kaguya-sama" movie will be good after promoting it since Christmas last year, maybe we will see me talking about it half a year later? We can but hope. Boy, do I wish that not all romance series will end with a movie; I can't go to a cinema nor will I understand one if I go to one in Japan AND DO NOT GIVE ME THE INTERNATIONAL SCREENING BULLSHIT lol okay me. See you guys next time then, have to go back to work and deal with a bunch of new music releases for the year haha, so let's see if I will still give a damn about my 15-year dedication after all this talk about moving on and stuff lol looks like a me problem don't mind me lmao bye

P.S. As for the theme songs of "Takagi-san" movie... I've already given half a year ago with Ohara Yuiko's mini-album for this and the Anime's 3rd season, so I didn't fancy the opening, I'm glad I gave the insert song and I promise you this was very close to being nominated for an award in Klassic Note 2022 and that's why I say I want to watch this before the year ends, and the ending song is a proper close to such a long series. I most definitely am swimming in tears when I heard the insert song haha

P.P.S. Inorin was the cat in the "Takagi-san" movie lmao NOW I gotta hear it again haha oh and Tomacchan is the pet shop owner I guess maybe it has been a while I didn't detect that tbh

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #04

Well, tomorrow is the one and only Chinese/Lunar New Year depending on who you ask so I won't be at home to do Anime and music by then so we shall do it on a Saturday! Yeah yeah, I know, Sunday is where all the good stuff comes in, so maybe we will compensate this by doing a once in a while Anime Extra, the first this year! I have something prepared for that occasion though, so don't you worry.

The package is coming in quite well, and so are my plans for my upcoming birthday which I will tell you guys in a post of what I will do to continue my fandom for... well everything I have today. *silence* That isn't much to say about me but we shall live with it! It's my life after all I want to be happy-

Anyways, let's! Shiina-san will not be in this post though I did not drop the series yet she will be in the Extra- Dammit again! *laughs* Maybe we call her Mahiru-chan lmao

アニメ Kyokou Suiri

"You're far too mean to be the last illusion before I die" All of us seeing <insert favourite idol here> lol

Wow is that a betrayal up on the mountains? Damn. Also, I said I'm "going to" die but not now, girl, stop making me think I'm already in Heaven. *giggles* In this new episode of a new arc we are finally in (#KyokouSuiri14), I didn't realize we are in the cutest episode in the series EVER. Yeah, what is the craze about Kotoko-chan anyways? *laughs* So, introducing the... eh, not really unluckiest, but more like, and I thought I was the easiest man to take advantage of lol because Muroi-san, who fell down a mountain which I rather not explain why he got pushed down by his friend apparently, is saved by a snow woman, which of course, is voiced by Yuuki Aoi is a youkai but this spirit is around mainly because she rather not see someone die in the mountains as ironically, she doesn't want modern society to build like, safety infrastructure to destroy the nature around these areas which makes sense, then thought of saving the dude from the snow instead even though the guy is so doubtful because she also asked for money because she felt bad stealing from stores stuff she wants to eat? This b*tch knows modern capitalism. *laughs* Yeah, so offerings, right? I got it. *giggles* So yeah, blah blah a decade passed, and a lot has happened to Muroi-san's deceived life. He was a president of a company which got bought out because someone betrayed him yet again lol why, his wife left him for another man because why not he's not handsome enough I guess, and he's had enough so he basically decided to retire back in the village near the mountains where he met the snow woman in the first place. Didn't expect to see her again though, but looks like this spirit can't keep the snow cones to herself *dabs* so I guess this guy might as well return the favour. And probably more with whatever huge cold rack that spirit has lmao why must it even be cold anyways you should've read the novels, but wait wait isn't this just the cutest thing ever?? Like, how is THIS GUY living the life after all this and I'm not? *laughs* Also, that's a lot of build up just to link to this very series because remember this is about some spiritual medium solving mysteries and kissing the boyfriend of a monster? *giggles* As I watch I'm like, what has this got to do with everything we've seen so far in this series, and boy did that "Lady" word strike a bell. *laughs* So surprise, the snow woman is indeed working with caution with probably the most trustworthy guy in the planet because damn look at his betrayal resume *dabs*, still is betrayed by his wife upon her murder and are currently investigated by the police even though he has an alibi... which can only be proven by a spirit. So yep, that's kind of a problem, I really thought this spirit is a rival but turns out she's here to replace Kotoko-chan HAHAHAHA what are the chances she'll like the monster of a mermaid and kudan? No way, right? I hope not, we can't deal with love triangles rectangles in this mystery series. Yeah mystery, by the way. *laughs* All in all, nice setup to what might be the drop next week we are investigating a murder to technically save this guy for the I don't know how many times at this point, so let's see if Kotoko can reason her way through. I mean, we can't create a profile for this snow woman to appear in court... or can we? Haha I'm just guessing I have no idea watch the next episode to find out

EXPECTATION
(Happy Lunar New Year of the Rabbit lol)

REALITY
(Hell yeah haha ah)

And I guess this is a good in between hehe
*pero*

P.S. "I've always thought snow women are more beautiful" Wow damn get shit on haha she is kinda cute though what are you talking about

P.P.S. "Well you're young, and... you're pretty" Girls when they see ikemen lol DEFINITELY NOT ME haha
[Dude, even if I put the ending song on a K-Pop forum not in Japan or Korea no one would know this is J-Pop. So no thanks, Miyano Mamoru who also voiced Kuro-san; I'll try giving the opening instead lol]

アニメ Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai

"Since I have an air-like presence, I should be able to take a nap without anyone noticing" I like that idea to be honest hehe wished I had that power or maybe I have I never get caught sleeping tbh

"Lunch break is over, why am I still feeling sleepy" Oh dude, you'll feel it when you start work too lol in this new episode of a lovely series I will definitely be hooked on I am already to be honest (#KuboSan02), don't mind me saying cute from the start because if you aren't here for Shiraishi which I assume you aren't you won't notice him anyways *wink*, then yes, Kubo Nagisa is adorable. I'll say that. *giggles* We continue on the antics of talking about the depression that is Shiraishi, and how he can't be seen during runs. Man, that's gotta be rough dude, and that's assuming you running laps is with integrity because you know, people can cheat a lap or something, dude probably ended up running more at some point just because the count was off as he wasn't noticed a few times. Hey, gotta say, not much difference between him and me in the panting department, that's for sure. Just, panting until next year *laughs* Sadly, my salvation isn't some girl who likes me coming in to give me wet wipes to clean off my sweat- WHY IS HIS LIFE BETTER THAN MINE lol I know it's Anime. Also, find a girl who will *SUUUUUUN* you even when you sweat. (Haha I love that Anime reference) I don't know, maybe she really likes the dude, what do I know. Speaking of which, looks like the sister is more than interested in her imouto and her recent habits of waking up early and, uh, using her perfume? Haha dudes can't figure out cologne I know I don't. *laughs* Oh well, maybe Shiraishi will notice that. Also, just let your little sister leave to see her boi already BITCH CAN YOU NOT?? *laughs* But yeah, as you can see, Nagisa here has some tsundere things to her sister but then again the sis is rather persistent just like how she herself is to Shiraishi's interests in manga and she had to borrow from him instead of buy them because you know, we all hate it when Volume 1 is not in the bookstore. *wink* Hey, it's a good plan, even just going to his place to get them books. *giggles* Again, this girl might've planned it all, and not like Shiraishi will notice anyways. Haha I thought this was about not noticing the dude. *laughs* But yeah, in your usual case of "going to school" with the dude really reminds me of "Acchi Kocchi" I'm sorry for more references but the wholesomeness of romance is also similar somehow, so you know, all this going to school thing but without the pretext of saying anything. Yeah, subtle. But also, waiting for Kubo-san's friends, of course. Haha bro what are you thinking you think we doing naughty stuff early in the park- And it still wouldn't be as bad as going home without the keys. *silence* Dude, why is my life in this Anime. *laughs* Of course, different from my experience, someone walked him home which *cringe* I wish someone will do that too but my crush lives 2 seconds by the school and I had to take the bus lmao *shrugs* saw him not be able to go home after being drenched from what was a puddle run over by a car by the road TYPICAL haha, then thought of letting the guy to dry up at her place. Oh okay so we going to HER house now?? LET'S GOOOOO *laughs* Okay and if you wonder why this was better than the girl going to his place... *laughs* It's just a bathroom I didn't see a bra or nothing. *giggles* All in all, maybe see how many times I've laughed at just writing this review without trying to write too much of a narrative as I promised myself not to. What I could not promise myself though, is to not stop watching shows like this where the interactions are so to my tastes I can't put it down. So yeah, I'm in this already, don't mind me. We are sometimes hit with the depression that is Shiraishi lol, but otherwise, the situations are cute, the girl is cute, the girl's sister is cute... haha what's there not to like? We are also not introduced to her other sister(?) yet so I wonder where does she place into this equation which I don't know how to calculate. Well, what else is there to say? If you want bittersweet romance whether it's coming in from the guy or the girl's perspective, this will have you covered. I mean I know this is seinen genre but come on right? Everyone likes pure stories haha I mean at least I do

[TL:DR; "The way she closed the gap between us is bad for my heart" ALREADY better than Takagi-san series haha also this Anime is also bad for my heart I just realized lol]

Me when people ask why I would be interested in a wholesome romance slice-of-life
(Haha yes referring to this series)

That's cute lol that's me seeing my crush too

P.S. "Her attack powers are off the charts" BRUH haha oh you mean Kubo-san but yeah ponytails are saikou

P.P.S. "No one's home today, it's okay" Oh Kubo-san don't every say that it happened to me before my mom came home early and saw me with a woman *silence* Haha pretend I didn't say that

[Still hooked into aggressive romantic Kubo Nagisa so here's more of her haha I need to be careful of liking this JK]

This series in a nutshell hehe

We are so blessed with more full size Kubo Nagisa images I can't even
(Haha ah)

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs

"I don't think (Fukuzawa) has any interest in working with me, though." Yeah he wants you to work under him lol

Oh, so Ranpo-san knows everything all along, what else is new. *laughs* Hey, if you still have NO IDEA if the guy driving Ranpo is the culprit here in this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs40) I hope they have told you what you need to know last week. Like, really, of course, but to know how it worked, then yes we will need a very famous detective to explain all of this. Then again, do you think all of this matters if we can't even catch the mastermind? I mean, we don't even know- Hey, all that is important is that Ranpo knows. Wait, he also doesn't? Oops. *laughs* Anyways, story. So surprise surprise, the guy on the vehicle is working under the organization we shall abbreviate as "V" for now because we'll talk about why that isn't and/or that will be explained in future episodes when we go back to the present, but suffice it to say that a couple of things have happened long before the play has started. For starters, we know about the actor who faked his death. That one is probably just staged with the stage wright who is murdered as soon as the act started, mainly because they can cut off this part of the trail, I assume. They as in the "V" thing. Then, we know some other people not related to the play are involved. Of course, the obvious, Fukuzawa and Ranpo are there. Just that the latter chose to let things go on as they are also because for example, the stage wright was already killed before he can deduce the truth of the current case so that's already kinda impossible to save, but we can save the others, including the one who was supposedly knocked out and wrapped on a carpet and transported to the back of the stage. We will talk about who that is later haha if you haven't even realized who he is maybe look at the cane Fukuzawa was told to find by Ranpo and tell me you recall a certain cat in this series. *giggles* Other than that, Fukuzawa was at least smart enough to deduce Ranpo's hints without letting the police officer who took him away know, like leaving a note on the sign he knocked over lol that was elaborate, so technically knowing that Fukuzawa would know people or maybe that dude from the case of the flying documents (lol) or any other Ability users or activity who would help him in locating Ranpo. Ironically, Fukuzawa was on time before the guy could pull a fast one on the detective, and saved him on time. But Ranpo deserved that slap since Fukuzawa be right: He shouldn't just put your life at stake. Or else we won't know when you have to. You would be dead detective before anyone could get you famous, bro. And we're not talking about that book thing you can do to trap people until they can solve your mystery. So yeah, maybe not do that next time. With this incident though, we now know of several things about this "V" thing. Firstly, we know of the mastermind, because I recall he had a certain Ability which can see the present? Who was the guy in "DEAD APPLE"?? Oh, Fyodor. I almost forgot his name until I see him. *looks at Wiki* Okay, he can kill anything with touch, that's creepy. Probably on the stage wright- ANYWAYS, we know he's still alive, he is technically not in the main Anime series yet, so I guess we will see him introduce himself in due time and not from a shipping container lol. Next up, we know "V" is "Five" now. But for this I don't recall what was the thing to be honest? So let's just assume it's something with Ability users and stuff, but damn are we not even close to the main villains. We had Port Mafia which we learnt is in cahoots with the Detective Agency and the police (as a triage to protect fictional Yokohama), we know of the American Ability user group, and I guess now we will be properly introduced to the [REDACTED] Ability user group. Last but not least, the formation of the Detective Agency, basically the origin of this is the flashback arc. So, wink wink, Natsume Souseki is under observation and working with the government as an Ability user back in a time where they aren't regulated, and overseeing this duo he approved of them running a business to keep this protection job or mystery-solving more formal. He was probably also trying to get into this theatre incident to find out more what is with this threat. And then you know the rest from here on, with Port Mafia and how the triangle is formed. All in all, man what a setup to reach this point, Fukuzawa is right Ranpo doesn't know shit and we could be done with this series if you were a second late to stop the trigger, but hey, what is the fun in that? *laughs* Okay we got enough of this shit let us go back to the present where we have Elise-chan and Akutagawa and Fyodor- Okay not the last one lol

So cool, you didn't realize he didn't have any arms
(Haha he has, if you look closely)

That time when my mom was angry I played video games instead of do my homework lmao

P.S. "If you're killing as a ritual, it doesn't matter who you kill" Yeah, like, a scapegoat, got it. Is that how those people got fired in big tech companies due to management decisions to keep their own pay checks? lol

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm not much this week as I explained last week lol, but I did catch up on more new releases just within this year which is like three weeks? Hey, it's something to go off with. For example. Gotch's new song got into me despite the deep rap speech thing in its verses so I'm giving it anyways. I also got to listen to DENIMS' new album which is actually released this week and considering my bad rap with them previously after I gave such a wonderful release which was two albums ago... this new one is as weird as I thought it will be. *laughs* Also, normal. Maybe too normal just listening to the topic songs, so I went for something weirder, as mentioned on Twitter. *giggles* I also just stumbled upon (like, just now as I'm writing this) SunSet Swish's new album which also released this week so maybe I also give that a listen right now and give maybe one song or two. Thanks, Apple Music. *wink*

Well this will be rather a short one since we'll be missing Sunday, but next time around we will update them back. mol-74's new song since they announced going independent starting this year is a meh, so let's see if they can offer something else by the end of the year. Ikimonogakari's new song will be for a new drama theme song (and I thought they don't have new songs anymore) so let's see when that gets a physical release. If you need some cringe from this news column here's Ryokuoushoku Shakai featured in a live video for if I didn't remember wrongly European music channel Fender, because guess what SCANDAL was in it before too. I meant cringe because Haruko-san will be speaking in the video clip in English. *laughs* TrySail announced a new song on digital release during their recent live tour which you know, see you later for a new release of sorts then. Somehow it just takes a lot for me to give digital release off the bat, and not that I've not done so, but clearly not for the above. Ryokuoushoku Shakai also announced a new album due in May which is quite fast considering I just credited their previous album on my own rankings last year. Printing songs already, by the way. Reasons why mol-74 rather go from major label to independent, by the way. *giggles* Aimer's new single is slated for start of March and I think you guys know already it's for the new "NiER:Automata" Anime series so let's hope there's something better than the topic song that is not depression or whatever. Short, isn't it?

So for next week, though I'll be at work because I didn't bother to take work leave, I'll be listening to, on the go, a slew of releases hopefully in this particular order of importance, which will be *takes in deep breath* SCREEN mode's new single and LUCKLIFE's new single for Anime "Stray Dogs" which of course the latter was for another Anime too in their double A-side so be aware of that I'll likely be giving those instead of the former haha *dabs*, Fuchigami Mai's concept mini-album which I have mentioned is run by vocaloid composers so I hope they aren't literally Hatsune Miku lol, and Takahashi Rie's new EP hopefully finding some gems similar to her very first release last year. Then maybe I'll give a damn about halca's new album which either I care after I listen to her appearing in Natsukawa Shiina's late night show on Monday (which you will know by the next post, on Tuesday) and/or after I get to watch the Anime "Kaguya-sama" movie because she sang an insert song. Either way don't expect me to care more than I cared about her single for Anime last year. *laughs* And then there are a laundry list of them waiting for me to review which I didn't mention here so maaaaybe I'll listen to them if I'm reeeeeal bored lmao what is with this crowding of releases on this week anyways




So, the plan for the next Entertainment News. The first Anime Extra of the year will feature... "Tenshi-sama" haha I really want to keep those selfies of not Mahiru for next time to be honest, and yes, the recent "Takagi-san" movie which I told myself I should watch by the end of last year but didn't. Klassic Note Song Awards, it's all your fault (lol), and now I will watch it, and it will probably be done... after we're done with this tradition of a holiday so Tuesday if all things go well, which I will then also watch the latest episode of "Kyokou Suiri" as it comes out. Yes, more snow woman haha you think there will be a sex scene? After the wife got murdered? Maybe just f**king the rabbit I guess. With contraceptives. *laughs* See you guys next time then, and until next time... maybe listening to SunSet Swish in 2023 was a mistake lol I hardly know them anyways they sound like frederic somehow and the latter is better-

P.S. I still cannot believe I may have to follow on my next doujin series "Shinki no Ane" and I think I did mention before because now that they have an ASMR video of the main girl ie. elder sis of the story... voiced by Tachibana Rika-sama... Haha okay short Anime series like "Douki-chan" and I buy FOUR volumes. You have a promise from me. *giggles*
