The Entertainment News '23 Issue #18

I mean, I feel happy right now from basically many factors happening this week that have proven my point because (1) DOAXVV gacha SSR *dabs* I got one using event tickets which have the worst odds lower than gems and the free 10-roll I'm getting every day, (2) this YouTube video reminded me of indirectly pursuing happiness and specifically to alleviate stress is to take work leave and (3) in Sakura Ayane's Instagram live yesterday someone reminded me that even if you don't live in Japan you can get NINE DAYS BREAK from yesterday to next Sunday during the Golden Week break, where we will meet here again.

*dabs*

Now that my happy times are just starting lol, let's keep it going by watching Anime and listening to music! The latter I may want to take a break I don't know haha




アニメ Skip to Loafer
"It feels so nice when you can head to school early" Yeah, don't have to stress out about being late lol my anxiety please no
Okay, noted, Kanechika being the bad guy this episode. *laughs* Hey bro you can't blame on innocent girl and that's why they need to be protected in this new episode (#SkiLo04), boy is some guy is going to accidentally join the drama club for no reason. *giggles* Don't worry, not happening anytime soon, and as Mitsumi almost killed herself over just doing a quiz in school and spacing out while getting hit with a volleyball lol, it's pretty obvious even to the blind that someone is distracted about something, and she talks to Shima about what she heard of Kanechika-senpai's plans to rail him in. Of course, he still rejected on all grounds, now stating that when he was child acting and appeared on television, he was doing it all for his mother, and thus did not gain any further interest in pursuing the career. Same bro, literally same story, but mine was more of a standstill because it set me to the biggest challenge in acting of my kid life: love. *silence* Moving on haha, Kanechika got shot down real good, with Mitsumi refusing to tell him the reason, just like a good friend. I mean, Shima may not have any goals in life now but it's definitely not acting with you dressed up as a woman in that skit we saw before. *cringe* Though I gotta say? Mitsumi-chan has more life goals than we have. *silence* Spiritual fulfilment, you know. I guess this is part of it but *laughs* Anyways, second half is probably what took the spotlight this time around, where apparently lazy teacher told Mitsumi that a certain student council senpai is more capable than her (the teacher) (lol) in terms of discipline and so Mitsumi chose to follow Takamine-senpai for a day in her tightly scheduled life. Hey, Takamine-senpai? I can see your ego shining from another galaxy now. *laughs* Turns out, if you can believe it, Mitsumi ended up dragging her feet all the way into the sunset, from suggesting the idea of looking at someone's farm even though we are just going to their place to give handouts for the day, to missing the bus and letting the cat pass the time with them... yes I know these are very countryside things to do and or experience otherwise considering everyone has a house visit rule longer than the time Takamine would've set, and 15 minute intervals are uber fast in city bus schedules... once in a while it's just great to take a break out of that pace and you know, hand in an empty quiz answering sheet once in a while haha Mitsumi you think this will drop her grades? Even the sensei isn't worried in a bit she doesn't even care. *laughs* All in all... Takamine-senpai is cool, isn't she? *giggles* Hey, not going to be too biased on this, but hey between Shima taking his life as a joke now and people like Mitsumi and Takamine having goals and setting themselves straight all the time even at their teens... don't worry I am not even close to these guys. *laughs* Then again, as you can see, they are teaching each other stuff here and there, and that's what makes this slice-of-life drama good, isn't it? Yes, and so it is. *giggles* Also, definitely first time heard of so much Tsuda Minami that does NOT sound like her. Yes, you heard that right, Takamine is voiced by her. Seriously, this series blows my mind every episode, and I can't wait for more stories to cry to or be happy about.
[TL:DR; "What does having no regrets even mean?" Yes. *laughs* I mean, look at me. *dabs*]
This b*tch can do Office better than 90% of people in this world, prove me wrong
Haha BONK
(Shout out to that Tumblr page back then which posted just Anime characters getting hit by volleyballs lol)
P.S. "But since (Shima) didn't mention it (in class), maybe he doesn't want anyone to know" For once Mitsumi-chan is smart haha who says she has no EQ lol "But I can't tell you; A good friend wouldn't do that" OOOH GOT'EM haha nice Mitsumi you are a great friend
P.P.S. "You look like you made the most out of the Golden Week holidays" That's me in a week haha probably after a slew of blog posts and if that upcoming package will arrive on time hehe
MFW the Professor says the exam doesn't have calculations and it's just a math paper haha
Me when I realized I'm 30 this year lol

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii Season 2
"This is something I found while trying to find the sexiest images I could on Twitter..." Haha yeah same *laughs*
Okay ominous intro summary drop, what is going to happen from here on? Haha I doubt anything just yet, but in this new episode (#ToniKawaS204) it's all about kissing apparently. *laughs* Ah hey, I didn't come up with this storytelling, go ask the author and the scriptwriter for the Anime. Anyhow, let's talk about what happened. For starters, the couple are complimenting each other again. Nasa-kun was so capable of anything he helped fix the vacuum cleaner for Kaname, and even went out of his way to create high school study material for Aya-chan who of course, in her record of failing tests and procrastination skills, will likely not pass the exams yet again but that's not our concern lmao, is still able to do all this while working on this coding stuff which honestly is impressive- My ideal life will be Yuzaki Nasa, honestly. *giggles* On the other hand, we have the caring wife who is scared of doing anything in public lol not assassin or swordswoman lore drop, is kind enough to give a massage to the husband for working long hours in front of the computer which is known to cause a number of problems which is basically where I ache all over right now. *laughs* Nasa-kun is as usual thinking of all the pervy stuff, but not as pervy as Kaname-chan who seriously needs a partner so she can stop searching online for stuff about how to kiss and where to kiss. Or maybe we buy her a sex doll, I don't know. *laughs* Anyhow, she kindly listed all of them and gave it to the guy in hopes of him doing something about the wife? *laughs* Can this series not be less straightforward lol thanks Hayate for the example kissing literally everyone knew about the author of this series having to write the "Hayate no Gotoku" series in their past when we are all kids. Now that we are married lmao, I guess upping the game isn't too hard, the kissing haha, but I guess doing all this in public is still kinda embarrassing but not for the Yanagi-sensei couple so we will ignore that lol that kiss is so long they have time to hide in a bush, so they decide to just do it at home. Or when Kaname-chan also printed a copy of the list for Tsukasa lmao f**king why Kaname go get yourself a man or something. *laughs* Anyways, they kissed, many times, on the chest too but with clothes on and that's why this is not a porno haha Nasa-kun you don't think too far in, and that's probably what this is all about. Marriage. *laughs* All in all, entertaining episode as always, next time stop with the introduction summary if it's not about Tsukasa's lore drop haha seriously though, and boy Aya-chan is beyond hope just like me. *silence* It's simple how this series has been so far even with new characters, and I know this is still before the drop, and likely next week too looks like we are going to the hot springs even though we kind of live in one lol... but hey, not that I'm complaining, but the budget for this second season seems low. *laughs* If it can still deliver then I'll still see it till the end just like how I dealt with "Kyokou Suiri" last season that also wasn't as ground-breaking as any would have hoped. Mediocre, I guess. It's still funny and stuff as long as these two stay in the hot springs, so that's good enough married life story for me. *giggles*
Python programming language, by the way.
Hayate no Gotoku, by the way.
Tsukasa is 3 months pregnant, by the way.
(*laughs*)
P.S. "The fact that we only have to memorize them is thanks to the work of our predecessors. Wouldn't you feel bad if you get it wrong?" Wow I wish someone told me that in school lol Nasa-kun can you teach me also? *laughs*
P.P.S. "Her slender fingers are rubbing my body so forcefully. This is a lot more exciting than I expected!" Haha fetish discovered lol but seriously though how much for Akarin to massage my back? *giggles*
My room is slowly but surely looking like this now haha
#RelationshipGoals amirite?
(I mean, when would you even touch their hair? Hmm...)
Boys first time watching porno by like
(Haha)

アニメ Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia
"It felt oddly comfortable in (the observatory)" Isaki-chan be like SAME haha
Oh hey yeah now we have the Astronomy Club, things are heating up! Not at night though, we can't with just the two of them lol. In this new episode though (#KimiSomu03), we introduce another loner- Hey me, don't call people loner like I'm not one. *laughs* Anyways, because this "club" thing still needs to run like one in this school who touted themselves to have one of these clubs some time ago until it's revived by these two, the sensei and advisor Kurashiki told them that in order to fulfil the requirements for presentation in the upcoming September meeting club president Nakami will have to attend, they will have to come up with some event and/or some achievement to show that they have been using the observatory and not use it to camp indoors- What the- *laughs* Anyways, Kurashiki only knows of the "last" member of this club Shiromaru (who is voiced by an embarrassed Tomatsu Haruka I'M IN lol it has been 15 years dude, relax) who of course is an alumni working now in the countryside, so the two have to track long enough to find... it's a her apparently, working at basically an arcade. Hey, who doesn't desire this life, innit? She invited them in to her small abode which is basically a container haha what's the difference between this and living in an apartment nowadays, she whipped up dinner for them and told them a story about her sad high school life. Basically, it would have been more cool if these 3 were in the club at the same time, but sadly she is left alone after all the senpai graduated, leaving her really having all the rights to be in the observatory without having to do anything, unlike these two. *giggles* Then again, the times have changed I don't know for how long Shiromaru here doesn't look that young lol, but these kids really do not know anything about even taking photos of the stars (and the girl Isaki-chan hehe don't tell), so the senpai gave them a crash course and sent them on their way. Including her. *laughs* If you recall earlier in the episode also, she did come into school to find the observatory likely only to think that the Astronomy Club has been disbanded and the location being used as a warehouse... until now. So yeah, why not, everyone has memories of this location, and no one is actually willing to let it go not with this cute girl around lol I'm talking about Isaki-chan *dabs* so might as well make the best out of all of this, yes? Yeah basically thanks to Nakami's efforts Isaki will be able to get more comfort items in the observatory to aid their sleep together- Ahem, just pitch your tent in already, Nakami. *laughs* Nakami's plan for now, is to aim for an upcoming meteor shower coming into the Ishikawa Prefecture where they are at (yes, it's real), use the summer camp to find a good spot and also learn to take photos of the stars by then since there is a popular spot to do so maybe better than the one photo Shiromaru sent to them at night haha, and hopefully take good photos enough to submit to the nationwide photo-shooting contest later in the year. All in all, wow that is a lot of things to expect just within the school year alone. We solved our sleeping problem with Isaki-chan, we chanced upon the observatory (lol), and now we are actually doing photo-taking stuff in school at night. *laughs* Hey, can't be peeping in the day when you are indoors in the observatory and taking photos of sleepy main girl, amirite?? *giggles* Yeah Shiromaru, I would like you to not tell anyone about this? Haha she won't just take pictures of her and she will leave lol I'm liking this dynamic already to be honest.
Why am I not even surprised when they slapped one of these moments in an Anime haha ah
Haha I see this is still there from Episode 1
TFW people found out the person you like lol
(Shiromaru: I have your secret now *laughs*)
P.S. "...which means during the day you'll be looking at people in the schoolyard instead of stars" Haha is that Astronomy in a nutshell? "The universe is expanding" lmao
P.P.S. "You look like you don't have any friends" lol THE BURN haha then again she is also so what else is new
Reasons why this isn't the next "Yuru Camp":
Uh... They don't have portable electrical generators?
Reasons why this isn't the next "Yuru Camp":
This pancake is better lmao
Reasons why this isn't the next "Yuru Camp":
Camping indoors haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
There isn't much to end the week so let's talk about them quickly. Yes, I have officially ignored UNISON SQUARE GARDEN's new album we will not talk about it from here on I assure you. *laughs* Then again, it's probably because Fuchigami Mai's new single was that good as I gave BOTH SONGS in the single but thank goodness not have to pay for anything further out of my own pocket as I do not review Limited Edition only releases. *silence* I don't know why this idolism did not make a Regular Edition but who knows they don't want my money I suppose. The songs are actually great though, accented by Mai-chan's lyric-writing it only got better if you understand the words. Yes, dating simulator music video, thanks for the reminder. *giggles*

Now that I realized this segment is purely dedicated to music news on Twitter that I can relate to because I can only care about new releases and/or new online music content since I don't live in Japan and cannot enjoy the live they had over the weekend or something. *silence* I like how we are closer to RYTHEM's best album coming in a few weeks and all we have is just a cover art lol it's fine I'll listen to it when it comes anyways. Also did not realize LUCKLIFE is releasing a best album in July for their 15th anniversary so I have no idea what the tracklist is but it might have songs from their indie days that I do not know of so I'll listen to it when it comes. Natsukawa Shiina's new song is uh... not going to get me hyped but who knows what will happen when the single releases in a couple of weeks so don't take my words for it just yet. Homecomings' new music video for Anime "KimiSomu" takes a lot of references from the animation itself picturing a couple walking alone in the night streets, so not much and as I said I let the Anime bring the impression of this song to me anyways. SPECIAL OTHERS' new track is probably their best so far leading up to the new album in October but not enough for me to give a thumbs up. Hey, maybe they do have something prepped up at the back that is good, who knows. yanaginagi's new collaboration song is not as impressive as her new song for Anime and it's the Anime which got her major debut running but both aren't my thing to be frank. Didn't realize "With ensemble" is a thing until miwa sang her emotional song with an orchestra on that YouTube channel which is rather impressive to be honest not many have the budget to hire such instrumental backing. SHE'S new song is a meh but we are barely starting and as a reminder their new album is releasing end of next month, so I'll catch up. I don't feel like SCANDAL's new music video teaser will get me anywhere but regardless I'll give it chance again since two months ago. This is rather interesting as Tomatsu Haruka is releasing a new song after being dormant for so long and no prizes for guessing it's for a Sword Art Online slot game (get it?) so that's impressive in itself again, is releasing in a couple of weeks too. If you missed Kitou Akari's 2nd live tour broadcast on YouTube don't worry to pour salt to your wounds I saw a bit of it and bailed yesterday. *laughs* I've watched it before, so don't mind me. RYTHEM's new ASMR video is of a song I know too well, and if you have not seen them on the streets of Shibuya lol not that I have but I've watched them live on YouTube, SpecialThanks' new live video on the streets is a familiar song from a few years ago which easily can rock the paths out there even now. And to end this I feel like I want to talk about this, Sambomaster is 2nd on the entrance exams music artist rankings which is impressive considering artists like Mrs. GREEN APPLE (expected) and Arashi (*ugh*) are up there too. It's likely the one song if you do not know, by the way. 

For next week though, after probably giving a listen to Ikimonogakari's new song which damn I'm already so over with them lol, it has been 2 years since the last time I did this too so I may take this time to visit Hololive solo artist music again. Yes, not the group ones because I legit do not care. I'm already starting with Murasaki Shion's song from last year so let's see if I can find more gems. Honestly saying, why can't Shion-chan her sing in her normal voice which is actually cuter than her personality voice now by the way. Yeah, basically reverse of what 96neko did with that one song which blew my mind haha




Wow am I just rushing the above so much I barely have time to think of anything else mainly also because I spent too much time just this weekend or the weekdays also fixing my GitHub Pages site without much reward besides self-gratification? Yeah, that'll be enough. *giggles* See you guys next week then, we are going to start May real strong with a bunch of posts for #KN15YEARS which... I've not done much of and that's why I'll have to cram them tomorrow so I can start this off right haha so see you then for more random talk about my life of music, and until then... I think DMM Point Club gave me a reason to go clock walking steps now. 6000 steps for a chance to get 10 yen? I'M IN lol will report progress if any next week lmao don't expect too much though I probably will not go anywhere *dabs*

Sunday 23 April 2023

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #17

Hmm... maybe we not do an intro, spice things up. *laughs* Maybe you can catch up on the new package I talked about earlier this week because damn I thought they will appear next week onwards which will very align with my another set of work leave but *dabs* On sadder news though, I thought of getting the "Toshitai" mug after the end of the radio show series which ended last month and... it's sold out. Could've spawned up a series of items from other stores where I have to consolidate to pad this specific order with some Rikachimalu and MaiMai bromides but I guess not anymore! *laughs*

ANIME!!! Haha I'm just tired with life honestly I can't even sleep on it- Maybe I'm getting the insomnia too lol uh oh haha the MUSIC is holding my sanity though that's why I started on that journey 15 years ago hehe




アニメ Skip to Loafer
"There were only 26 students in the entire middle school" Haha CRINGE says a lot about Japan's dwindling education capacity in rural areas
Okay what is with that intro I thought we are showing what Mitsumi looks like when she's 80 or something. *laughs* She might as well be haha in this new episode (#SkiLo03) we ask if we can join the Student Council. Hey, just ask, right? Like the other clubs? *giggles* No? We just don't, I guess. Who would join that anyways? Oh, no slots? Even better, see ya- Oh dammit Mitsumi. *laughs* Besides writing the summary for the first part, let's talk about what happened with the new character that got introduced. Well, many characters if we were to include the President of the Student Council, eh? For Kurume-san though... she might have a lot of ideals. Like, "Bungou Stray Dogs" Kunikida level of ideals. *laughs* From dunking on most of the student population which started from her class, to still wanting to be involved with others somehow and not worry of being called a nerd just because she looks like one, Kurume-san has a lot to work on coming into this high school class where everyone is nice. Besides Egashira. *laughs* Anyways, nothing wrong for wanting to go into a club to find things out instead of them coming to you not every school has that resources and/or people to promote their clubs especially if you are the new member in order to hit the minimal club size count haha been there with Anime, so yeah, you can NOT be in the way of Mitsumi who is determined to join somehow even if this sounds like some satellite support group because what are the chances she will take over those two up there especially the one who planned her schedule to the minute. *laughs* I'm no future leader so I live my life carefree, dude. *giggles* And so should you, Kurume, hanging out with the main couple (lmao) and seeing Mitsumi screw up taking a wefie lol girl you can use the front camera by the way, should already realize faster than the country bumpkin haha I'm calling her names too it's for the write-up I promise, that you have a less hostile environment in this class now, so opening up really matters. And so she thought, as in the second part, she got Mitsumi to join her to watch movies, ones that were featured in their upcoming assignment too, no reason to not go, right? Just that you know, everyone else is somehow invited I guess. Boo, they don't know this was meant to be ladies night- NOT YOU EGASHIRA lmao we can get Yuzuki in I suppose. *giggles* But we all know this is just a date for the main couple to bond their relationships haha why does Mitsumi sound all cutesy like her outfit now? Haha you naughty girl, you trying to get ikemen? *giggles* Soon many little things start to happen as Shima said, that will change how people think about you and otherwise, and I would say Mitsumi is handling it way better than whatever is going on with telescope Yuzuki and kaleidoscope Kurume haha I think I'll call them that now, mainly because Kurume is awkward doesn't mean she doesn't want to hang out, and Yuzuki might have noticed that and dropped on it on her too soon. Hey, it's hard to explain this, but you know, it's difficult realizing stuff AND having to deal with it, okay? I mean, look at 3G-network Mitsumi figuring this out in the cinema way later and just pouring down the two flavours of popcorn down her throat. *laughs* All in all... screw you, Egashira. *laughs* But yeah apart from her being a real try hard which you really should relax a bit Shima-kun can see right through you as in you don't even matter *dabs*, everyone else has their own story to share in this slice-of-life series, and I like it. Drama maybe? But most definitely, stories to warm the heart. And I think that's what this whole series is going to be about. So yeah, "love"? Maybe we leave that aside for now, we got high school life to talk about. But yeah not going to read Shima's mind if he does fancy the country girl haha, but hey, that's for later, yes? We can play around for now and THEN maybe we see if this one counts as a date. *giggles*
[I can't stop looking at everything as a GIF because the reactions lol so here is more than a handful]
This is how I ask my sis to get afternoon tea now hehe
That's equivalent to the FeelsGreatMan emote on Twitch haha
Me alone and single after watching this Anime every week lol
P.S. "... I'll never be friends with girls flocking to the ikemen" Haha too real lol but also, that's why Kurume you aren't as successful as Mitsumi-chan here she's the everyone girl
P.P.S. See Kurume-san you f**ked up real big there to not high-five Yuzuki over there dude can't leave her hanging amirite?? Also slap a beautiful girl's hands? Some people DREAM of doing that lol maybe just slap my rear also if you don't mind lmao ah
EXPECTATION
REALITY
(Haha how did Yuzuki figure where this is anyways)
Yeah okay Starbucks how much did you pay for this to be relatable lol

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii Season 2
"I figured young lovers ought to have a good time, you know?" Yeah? Then why not give them a night at a love hotel-
Yeah alright the amusement park is better- That's why everyone's going in this very episode!! *laughs* In this new episode where m*ffy gets all the spotlight lmao (#ToniKawaS203), because of trademark reasons lest S*nrio sues this very blog post haha trust me they have done it before, we shall talk about this amusement park at length without talking about the name of the rabbit whatsoever. *giggles* So, let's! In case you have not realized from the previous episode trailer, everyone is in the park. As to why though, we have Ginga-kun to thank apparently. Bro thought it would be a great idea to give the couple some amusement park tickets to go play around with not each other *dabs*, so yeah at least Tsukasa is excited Nasa-kun is already done with it I guess also he probably knows how everything works inside the park so it's not that exciting anymore I guess. Hey Nasa-kun may not be interested in the rides because he has seen them, but he hasn't seen romcoms before so I guess we can be excited about his wife because SAME *laughs* Also not joining them is actually Yanagi-sensei and Taniguchi who invited her of course, and even though they bumped into each other, is probably trying to avoid this potential couple because you know, not to be a huge light bulb out there but uh... we gotta go we gotta go *laughs* Also joining in the light fest lmao I don't think anyone will get this joke this is a Chinese joke to associate light bulb with being between a couple's time with each other, we have Chitose and the gang. *laughs* Why is she even here though? I guess she is rich kid she can go to this anytime so why not, right? Just that for starters... it rained. Nice. Best park experience ever 0/10. *laughs* But as they say, can't control the weather not even for those who are here for wedding photos haha RIP that experience, still are doing better than Yanagi-sensei's run with this bloke who can't get himself to confess to... well, anything. And likely Yanagi will notice so... according to Tsukasa's professional analysis haha we better leave them to bloom alone if they will ever, yes? Moving on haha, and that's why Chitose is here, apart from having a great time which she did she is just more bothered about her sister going out with another dude though she is married lmao that's just normal man, is just laughing at Nasa-kun failing even though Tsukasa won't even mind if you served curry at the buffet in front of her. No really, it does not even matter but if you serve me vegetables means you love to see me suffer and I don't like that so *laughs* Hey, I am open for this I don't have to be the sadist in the relationship haha what *laughs* ANYWAYS lmao and yes the maids haha can you guys stop with all the wrong references please I have to censor if I have to talk about any of these, I think this is just good setup to whatever is at the celebrations at the end of the day, the parade and fireworks with Taniguchi probably being able to slap a line from earlier which I would start with something like "You remember you asked why I invited you?" and *wink* you get the idea, but turns out Yanagi realized something was amiss (lol) when she did come here to have a great time with a nice guy teacher she knew in school. Hmm... *laughs* All in all... to quote the not Charlotte aka Aurora-chan... must be tough being tsundere, huh. *laughs* From Chitose to Taniguchi, they all had a hard time realizing they should face relationships more directly instead of you know, beating around the bush like it owes you money, still is better off than any of my relationship advancements because why would I even buy tickets to an amusement park and THEN think of how to invite a girl to it? *laughs* So yeah Taniguchi and the maids from Chitose's place, you did a good job achieving your goals and letting the other party have a good time. *giggles* And Nasa-kun is just here for the ride haha remember this Anime series is about admiring the wife, ladies and gentlemen.
Man, this is just...
Same dude haha
P.S. Please, we all can think of going to sleep as fast as Tsukasa if tomorrow's an amusement park trip, you know? I wish everyday is an amusement park trip lol then I will be tired af to sleep every night lmao
P.P.S. "I bet he wants to hug her instead" "I bet he wants to do more than just hug" LMAO TRUE THOUGH haha where is the lie even "Stop being pervy at the park!" Haha Chitose you can't even
Babysitting the maids be like
(lol)
I can't even *laughs*

アニメ Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia
"I heard the school nurse Kurashiki-sensei calling it "freaking cat" the other day" Shout out to last week lmao
Ooo why are there two bento on the kitchen table, Nakami? *giggles* In this new episode where how is Nakami wide awake in the morning lol what happened to the insomnia (#KimiSomu02), you see, if this is a secret this means we can do all sorts of hints and stuff in class, right? Like a porno- And then one of them proceeds to sleep in class haha ah hey no one said all this is any fun with this problem in the way. Still, sleeping in class or in the library is as much cringe if not worse than sleeping at work- Yeah you tried that before? ALWAYS get laughed at, trust me, been there done that. Sleeping, not laughing. Only girls laugh at guys who doze off. *sob* Anyhow, let's talk about what happened this time around. Oh yeah, just a reminder that this is also an educational series right here, where we teach you many other ways to sleep soundly in bed every night. Please, all you know is that you need a good bed and silence. There's more to that. But we know the secret can't last for long, the hideout, but not like they are trying to keep it mum. Like, Isaki was totally going to talk to Nakami in class and not think that the girls will be thinking these two are a pair but hey not like the PA did anything better for them lol we will get to that later I guess, but more like, the guys are definitely trying to make the observatory their second, uh, third home. Second is the school, and then third is the red couch they stole before it was being abandoned. *laughs* Yeah, same as second is the cat which dropped by the building now that third is Nakami lol where is the male power in this even. *giggles* It probably got worse when they eventually got found out by the sensei in the nurse's office if you would recall last week she was chasing down that cat who kept taking a fancy to her sandwich lol this cat is too smart, then found the hideout Nakami and Isaki have been at mainly because Isaki let the cat in without fixing the door knob in which Nakami is trying to fix of course, and then the cat trying to run to a safe place lol ie. this observatory which then led the sensei to the truth. Hey, it's not the cat's fault. Totally not possible. *giggles* The kids got a real scolding out of the teacher, she will decide their fates the next day, and I guess this fun little secret is over then, things will go back to normal. Or so we think. Because damn if this is how it ends like how everything is in real life this wouldn't be Anime lol, my guess is likely Kurashiki-sensei here told the vice principal of all people, that there are people interested in joining the Astronomy Club that have been disbanded all these years, and in interest of the school's reputation they can actually revive this club, and in turn, the location for these two insomniacs will stay intact. At night too, so that's just overall convenient to be honest. By the way, all thanks to the rumour that, even with the scope of the secret narrowed, is still a thing only these two will keep to themselves from here on out. The hang out at night because can't sleep thing. All in all, I'm still impressed with this series just in general. We had the laughs, the other classmates and the teacher are still too real I can't even, but this relationship between Isaki and Nakami is even more real, the guy also won't believe it himself. Also, you thought twice about what Isaki mentioned at the end? Hmm... let's not think too deep into that, so let's look at the moon! It's just a reference of a woman who resides on the moon, don't think too much okay? *giggles*
[TL:DR; "Are you two making out in here?" HAHA YES THIS ANIME IS SELF AWARE lol why make a porno when you have THIS]
Reasons why this is a porno:
Dominatrix training, I see.
*laughs*
Reasons why this is a porno:
You into feet, punk?
This is definitely a first where I see the school's store tbh
(Not all schools have these btw)
P.S. You know the part where Isaki was playing along with the girls and popped up in front of Nakami and he blushes and walks away? SAME haha oh boy you lucky lad
P.P.S. "I thought I was number two!" "...so you can be number three instead" Oh his rank just dropped?? Haha gg Nakami this is what's gonna happen after the honeymoon period bro
[Hey I like how that I did not like the ending theme song even though it's from Homecomings but damn the animation is just about Isaki?? NICE]
I saw this and I'm like I NEED THIS TO BE A GIF and here we are
(Hehe kawaii)
 "Describe Isaki Magari without showing her face" lmao

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Yeah okay I'm just stuck at aiko's new song for Anime "KimiSomu" right now so let's move on from that I've already given. *laughs* This week though, we do have a lot of releases to listen to, but not surprising at this point this month didn't really bring us better songs, so I'm settling for songs I can like which is just back to not promising myself to give melodies I like anymore. *silence* Let's start with why this is the case with Anime "KimiSomu" ending theme and with Homecomings' new album because damn did I anticipate this too much and got real disappointed even if initially I gave chance to the newer songs in the release, I still ended up not giving them but give the topic songs that have appeared as digital singles over the past year. Ironic, isn't it? But yeah, moving on I may listen back to a couple of their indie releases which I was more keen somehow starting this year alone. Yeah, when they sang exclusively English. Man, they gotta have made a music video for the Anime theme song, right? Homecomings for their new ending theme song credit- Oh yeah there's the teaser, *laughs* I also listened to FictionJunction's new album which basically doesn't feature the current members at this point already since Kajiura-sensei did manage to get so many other singers most of them you may know I know Aimer and Yuuki Aira, and thus I ended up only giving just the songs from the artists I mentioned which then I also realized some of them are self covers? Well, does letting another artist sing one of your compositions in the album produced by you count as a self cover? So many questions lol greying the lines, but what is definite though is it sounded like Kalafina, but did not make me want to give the new songs. Not even the one with a music video, no. Ironically VELTPUNCH's latest single from last year is out on music streaming half a year after live event release so I gave the one song I definitely liked on first impression so the second track. And we don't talk about Minase Inori's new single. *laughs* 

Maybe we just go straight into it, huh, and not have to explain what this part is about, click the links and you'll know soon. Oh, and I'll skip stuff mentioned above. THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new live video is not of interest to me but if you like the vibes you should go listen lol. GLIM SPANKY gave us a teaser on their new song and hints on next month release so let's see if it's good I can't figure anything out just from a guitar strum to be honest. cinema staff's new song is uh... okay? But as with digital singles I won't really care unless it hits me more so impressions just had to go sky high to give chance from my standpoint, and I don't think this song flew that high. Thanks to YouTube recommendations, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN's new live video is a song I actually know of, so it's interesting to listen to them sing live it isn't a bad song I guess. As a surprise to no one, KANA-BOON will be releasing a concept album in June following earlier months of new songs and self covers and is likely their first full release since the incident. Minase Inori's new music video won't get me more into her new single, rest assured, since I really don't feel much from the song anyways. ORESKABAND dropped a new song this week and honestly saying? It's definitely fitting of the cover art, very Egyptian feels there I didn't even notice the brass instruments. So, uh... I don't know. *laughs* Oh this one I think it might matter to me where I live, LUCKLIFE will be doing a live in Singapore with STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION of all people and honestly I couldn't care about the latter artist but they put them together but also the former is likely only going to sing those songs that matter but not to me so... probably not? The tickets are probably also a bomb so no thanks. Try SPECIAL OTHERS, dude. *giggles* SHE'S new live digest is for the limited edition release for their new album coming in a month so be sure to give that a listen. Okay this is rather big news because yuiko's new releases for upcoming Comiket will include another compilation for Primary the doujin group she was doing with composer Meis Clauson AND a solo album under her name so that is just rad I can't even describe- THIS was what I expected last year to be honest. Oh, and did I mentioned about the first compilation for Primary will be on music subscription services too?? Yeah, someday we will get the full Primary collection online. *giggles* Aimer's new music video for her upcoming new single next month is as fast as it is a meh but I think I will definitely give more on this than her previous single since this has more feels to me, I suppose. RYTHEM gave us another ASMR video singing the topic song from their 2009 single I know too well because it's on my shelf so *dabs* Next up, Asakura Momo's new live video is currently her most popular song yet and I think we know why it was for Anime 2 years ago, still isn't great for her live performance skills since man you can notice how not great it is lol but this is also her first live tour with a live band so I'll close one ear on that. Last but not least, nano.RIPE will be singing for Anime next season so that's rad and I'm glad to see them back in the Anime scene. 

So for next week, we only have Fuchigami Mai's new single which I might give a little something here and there and we might just be reviewing it depending on how the impression goes I'm not too sure even after watching the music videos, and if that fails I will give a listen to UNISON SQUARE GARDEN's new album released a couple of weeks back. And if this fails also then I will go for more rock festivals, if you would recall previously I stopped at Huwie~! *laughs* And OAU, those guys, so maybe we can find something better than them after this week. *giggles*




Again, not true fan of Sakura Ayane as I missed her Instagram live yesterday for FIVE MINUTES lol I literally saw the notification to know I WAS THAT LATE *laughs* Also, just her talking again resting her chest on the table sometimes lol, showing the script for this live haha that, and people just sending in joke mail because you know, she's the boke role so she will laugh at it anyhow. Man, isn't life with Ayaneru every week just a joy? Haha what am I even saying now. See you guys next time then, another week of work before I can stop thinking about it again and think about what blog posts to do for the week after when I'm on another break HOPEFULLY not on the bed and on meds lmao please don't my body you can't keep doing this to me

P.S. I won't be doing this consistently but just an update on the ranking situation for this week after I got 2x SSR again in a 10-roll AND also burnt everything because I saw a Tweet on a collaboration event coming soon which I definitely will not put any gems into since (1) they will give us loads of free rolls and (2) I don't care about whatever Azure Lane is lol I know they have boobs too but I'm into the ones here *dabs*
Missed Monica in the new event gacha but she's on the ranks already, both Fiona and Momiji have 2x because I used all the gems lol, and I want Saya-chan to sleep with me *laughs*

Wednesday 19 April 2023

The Welfare Package April 2023 Part 2

Well, didn't expect ALL of this to happen in the one day my sis decided to get me to fetch a bulky free gift for upgrading our home network broadband this is probably the best summary I can give lol, to only let me find out of the sacrifice I've made to have to do this post late into the night in the middle of the week. In her defence though? She was stooling when the package arrived so she had to- *laughs*

So yeah, welcome back!! Really didn't think this will appear this soon and so in line with another item I was expecting to appear probably next month, and since all of this made no sense, this is what happens when you order something that is sent differently to the previous batch. Yes, this is yet another Zenmarket run!! So, without further ado, let's talk about what I got this time around... that also involved an Amazon order?? Don't you worry; Its relevance will be made clear, in the conclusion to this month's packages hehe *hand summoning crystal ball*




"Oozora Naomi no Mangaka e no Michi" Photo & Art Book
"Aizawa Saya no Ending wa Joukigen de ~Aizawa Saya no Tanjousai~" Goods Set
Polished Acrylic Stands?

But first, and you should have expected this coming though this is not much, let's unbox, yes?
I know it's supposed to be one package but trust me, I can consolidate both of them into one

Oh yes the thanks from forwarding service Zenmarket once again, you are welcome for filling in the gaps when I can't swipe my not Japan bank card haha

Hell yeah!
Hell yeah.
*giggles*

So Exhibit No.1:
Art Book? Photo Book? Definitely not pamphlet haha

Exhibit No.3:
Where's No.2?? *laughs*

Exhibit No.4:
The Aizawa Saya Worship Set 2021
*laughs*

So for starters, and this is the bulk of the order which I've been waiting for it to ship since the start of the year honestly I don't know whose fault is it for making it this late, it's Oozora Naomi Photo & Art Book!! Well, besides being obvious in the title of the book itself in English, this is also the continuation and likely conclusion of the original manga creation series she started a couple of years ago. If you can recall we have bought her goods before too I think last year ('O-o-o-ra" haha), and this book and final product of what this voice actress came up to draw, is likely more meaningful than what you would have done in live events (lol) would mean that I could not give this a miss. As expected, the quality is rather impressive and don't compare this to ex-illustrator genius Kitou Akari thanks haha, and it does have a story, a slew of characters and effects just like a proper comic! Let me take you on a journey... no literally this b*tch chose isekai as a theme I want to- *laughs*

Let's open these trading card... bromides first then!!
0 out of 0, by the way. *laughs*
1 out of 1, no duplicates, nice
2 out of 2!!
That's like, mage Naomi-chan with the spell book? Okay
3 out of 3!! Naomi swordswoman I suppose.
Yay- I only bought 3 huh, me. *laughs*
In my defence there were 8 of them so this keeps the dupes low
For comparison and I'm sorry for the bad lighting, the size of the cards to my palm.
Not saying I have huge palms but... damn is this is a bad comparison already lol

Naomi Oozora Photo & Art Book

Here's a side note:
Every single hand-drawn thing in this book, is by yours truly.

Okay photo collection is only 9 pages I want my money back haha *looks at Naobou*
(But as you can see, the bulk of this book is the comic book author journey)

In her thirties, by the way.
She has a certain appeal I can't describe hehe

You think she can read this in English?
Haha I hope so

Don't let this deceive you that she is not a literary lol

Oh this is even more adorable I like it, I like it! Hehe

Perfection.

Not that I see it she is on a great rack-
Oh the English on the right it's the same don't you worry she can only write that lmao

Off-shots because why not enjoy this before we get to the drawings lol

"Oozora Naomi Teleports to Another World!"
Innovative title, nice.
Too short though lmao *dabs*

Okay, to summarize the story below, voice actress Oozora Naomi (lol she did not bother to change the name, so as herself) was not doing well in her voice auditions for a mother role because damn when have you listened to that anyways haha, left the studio depressed only to find herself in another world! Yes that's your isekai reference you're welcome, and as she saves lives with her voice and overcoming obstacles which are monstrous hamsters? Haha yeah, she learnt to behave in and thus voice the motherly role from the village she saved in that very universe. That's it, simple story, don't expect 20 volumes or an Anime adaptation though that'll be impressive lol, but yeah, it's just an exhibition of her drawing skills as a whole. I recommend you understand the brief process of doing art in modern Japanese comics with Anime "Kakushigoto" also for the jokes hehe this one has some jokes too

Haha audition for mom role huh I don't think she did one before honestly

Okay I don't know if we should know this producer but I can reference Aoni Productions, her talent agency
(Yes it's "Aosan" she incremented the number lmao)

The elevator was the teleporter lol why not dude

It's a cat, by the way

So Naomi-chan did the "nya" and let the enemy think it's one of them
(Not the fanservice one, the real voice acting)

She's a hero now lmao now called "voice hero" with the same pronunciation "seiyuu"

She's doing the mom role now hehe I like

Technically NSFW, you have been warned haha

So there you go, titled "Oozora Naomi's Road to Manga Author"

This part of the timeline is where I ALMOST bought an acrylic stand of her hand-drawn character lol
(I did though, buy some bromides, if you would recall)

Not gonna translate the message but as you can see, she went from nothing in talent to actually drawing and vetting the comic herself

And to pad the order lmao yes this was done immediately I've confirmed the above was shipping in, and to prove my love for this girl, we have some Aizawa Saya Livestream Series Goods!! Turns out, that livestream series she has been doing for 2 years already long before I knew her through Anime within the past year to be frank, so I thought this will be a good time to catch up to her! Also like the above though, it was hard to purchase directly from the site and so we will talk about the newest goods another time *wink*, for this I was able to get my hands on which was released 2 years ago. I liked her since then so technically this counts. *giggles*

These are the largest badges I've gotten I think, not that I'm a fan but they are adorable *wink*

This bromide set contains 10 bromides but I'm not going to show you all, just look at the product page dude
(*giggles*)

And this is the clear folder that is in the pack, nice

I like this girl somehow.
I like this girl. *giggles*

So there you go, the whole set after removing all the plastic;
The true Saya-chan- Nope.
*laughs*

What type of bread do you want your sub to be?
Polished acrylic?
(Haha)

To end this and technically this is omake material I should have considered to put in the previous package post but since this is here, I've found a way to display those DOAXVV character acrylic stands with Amazon purchased set of polished acrylic display blocks!! Yes, and you bet I took WAAAY too much time to think about how to get this, from mentioning previously I was searching for some sort of display stand to show them off to finding "display risers" and/or accessory displays to fill this gap, and I finally found something that fits the bill. They are 5cm in diameter compared to 2cm for the acrylic stands, and there are 4 of them in different height, so as you can see below, it's rather impressive for... too much money I don't want to talk about lmao I'm satisfied with the purchase tbh (I'm Prime member so at least the shipping was free hehe *dabs*)

Okay I just hope these smears are removable... but this isn't glass so fingers crossed

So, simple representation of last week's rankings:
Tamaki, voiced by Oonishi Saori and are both the reasons I started DOAXVV
Monica, my current favourite, perfectly-sized figure, actually tall, got me to like Yukimura Eri
Nagisa, because I got 2x SSR on this in one 10-roll *dabs*
Loberia, because we all know she and Koga Aoi love me *dabs*
And don't worry, the photo frame takes priority so Rieri is still the best *giggles*




And that shall be it! If you want to know more things I missed besides the above haha, there is also Minase Inori's Instagram live earlier in the evening for her release of her new single and tour Blu-Ray. *silence* I mean, neither of them are great and she is kinda boring in person (lmao) and she sounded quiet on the noisy train and I can't crank up my not noise-cancelling earphones so... yeah, it's a sacrifice alright. *laughs* So let's not think too much and enjoy the rest of the week with this and WITHOUT Inorin's new songs as motivation haha I have FictionJunction and Homecomings I think I'm good
