The Entertainment News '24 Issue #04

Damn, why am I still lingering on to my romance fantasies? *giggles*

I mean, I know there's the Ten-chan wallpaper fever enough for me to fall sick and take a break from work *dabs*, and there's the new Like A Dragon videogame with one of the main girls sounding totally like her for some reason (haha ayo ngl Chitose you sound great) (but no, I'm more into Ten because this one's same year), but heck, maybe I should just chat up that one girl I still liked back then. *silence* I know, it's as if she will care she feels like she will have the same enthusiasm towards me as my sis which is none, just like any other woman now in this world. Life was a better place 2 decades ago when I was a kid, you know. *laughs*

Alright me, THIS is the intro?? If you saw this in the outro that means I have changed my mind haha just like how I might after watching this season's Anime offerings! But seriously though, where's the simple slice-of-life Anime I can like which isn't straight off explicit content, is well animated, has cute Anime girls I can simp-




アニメ Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi
"But teasing Tsubasa is so much fun!" This series in a nutshell lol
I see we encountered the Komi-san problem where the girl doesn't want to talk. Oh well. Maybe she is not just shy and speaks in a super low volume, but who knows, she gotta speak first. But we do know in this new episode that (#DosaKoi03) we are introduced to a new girl! Well Akino-san, if you are smart enough as me now at your age, you would learn that there is no point to the skiing trip, and you might as well enjoy yourself with the people around you. That's uh... speaking from experience haha *sob* New episode new girl, and this one, she is just slightly harder to get along. Even Minami tried to talk to her but only gotten ghosted in her face, not to even say that Akino here straight off gives the vibes of "don't talk to me" as she wears earbuds when solo skiing even though she is bad at it. Basically a female version of me but without the looks lol (what are the chances female me will look attractive anyways?), Akino here is everything but, and we're NOT talking about her body proportions. *wink* You're right though Akino-san, Minami has everything you don't have: being loud, being outgoing, loves to hang out with others, a popular gal... *giggles* But heck, just as Minami would have said of you, you have everything else, specifically the good looks overall. Minami-san just looks fat. *dabs* (Haha gottem) And as we go along the episode and Tsubasa being a lucky pervert once again lmao this series dude, we then found out that Akino is more like, dislodged? Yeah, more than antisocial. Due to her excessive sweating and just like my mom maybe she should go see the doctor lol (or I can be the doctor I'll wipe you down-), she has been avoiding physical activities and indulging in the thing she loves to do best alone: playing video games. *silence* Not going to reference anything or anyone in particular I don't even play games nowadays lol it's all the free-to-play garbage I need to stop someday, but heck, teaching Tsubasa to play sure is awkward. I like the shame in Akino also her voice actress Hanamori Yumiri haha you have no idea the powers this woman has in Anime, and boy, do they put up all the embarrassing love...y? Love scenarios out in one episode, it's enough to make Minami over there jealous. *giggles* Throughout the episode though, Tsubasa has been such a gentleman, basically me trying to live in a new environment but if I'm in Anime this will likely last until the equivalent of where I did not tell the taxi driver to stop lmao gottem, and I have a harsh feeling this is what this main guy's appeal will be moving forward. Harem it likely is not, but it's going to be a good time. *giggles* And now, why I might stop watching this- Haha what? *laughs* For starters, I just also noticed that Tsubasa has SUCH A F**KING BLANK BRAIN I can't even. Well, give or take I had such a brain until what, when I was 14 until Anime ruined my life? *laughs* Yeah, so maybe by then one should've done anything to a girl so they will get laid with a woman at some point in the future. *silence* Moving on, the theme songs. *ugh* Not that I'm not impressed by Ooishi Masayoshi and his compositions he is still infamous in the industry and even though I have my standards, I just want to avoid him as much as possible considering that I will see him more often in the romance genre than I want to every year, and having to give at least one theme song for every Anime I watch isn't helping on this cause. Lastly, even with the skiing and I guess Akino here is the most attractive person in this series till date haha sorry Minami, the animations still didn't do this series justice, which should still be the least of your problems until you are a picky bastard like me. *silence* Ask me again next week then, or else, this might be last we see of Hokkaido. Guess I'll not be touching on Ueshama and the third gal in this series after all then. 
What you thought this series is
(Cool gyaru btw)
What this series actually is
(HELL YEAH BOOBA)
P.S. "Isn't she adorable? Her hair, her style, the way she looks!" Yeah I would say that about all the girls I like too Minami-san "And her face, her face, her face!!" This is when I have to talk about- (Boy, I can't complete the sentence with Sakura Ayane we mentioned many more women just in this post alone)
P.P.S. "But why did you (Akino) decide to tell me (about you)? I just transferred here, you and I never really talked before. And about something so personal?" Bro read the room this is the author doing the fourth wall thing in Anime-
[I think Akino deserves a column even though like me she doesn't deserve sh*t-]
What I can't stand in this Anime:
Akino is great but heck this drawing is *pukes*
What I can't stand in this Anime:
They just pasted a sticker strip of shame on her face lol

アニメ Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru
"Ask her out so forcefully, she will break" Yeah that's what I'm intending to do though? Haha ah
Shout out to that poor green elephant on the street, real MVP over here. *laughs* Alright in this new episode where we try not to burn anyone besides demons but then again Akutsu hasn't been ratting them out lol (#KanaTen03), looks like we have more things to worry at hand. Firstly, just Akutsu being a liability. *laughs* As Lily-chan would have wished she can just extract the demon detection powers out of this bloke haha then this series would've been over, but then again why would he rat on his buddies even if you zap him with the collar, what, fives times a day? BRUTAL haha but can you do that to me though? *laughs* Next up, there's the new girl in town. Yuuka-chan here, besides being Hirota's childhood friend and if you forgot this guy and his half a dozen confessions to Lily-chan it's understandable lmao, is also quite a b*tch, I would say. Stopping girls getting close to her boi as if she owns him lol they aren't even going steady, throwing literal short kid insults to our angel over here haha she felt it alright as little as they might be *dabs* (yes, I volunteer to die in hellfire haha), and THEN trying to be nice to Lily-chan lest she sees her as competition in the near future where no one wants to fight over Hirota over here lmao gottem? Yeah Naobou, why you gotta be such a prick? *laughs* (Yeah, heard that voice a mile away but uncertain, just like Akutsu picking up demon presences tbh) But it sure was a joy seeing the girls mingle considering this isn't exactly a happy Anime per se, and between this and missing all the damn slice-of-life series that have not appeared in the past what, year? *laughs* This is actually a refreshing touch regardless of how crude it might be. *giggles* Also keep those jokes coming, there's always time to eat two short fat ribs. *laughs* (I know right, I'm already exorcised in the back alley) Last but not least, and I think this is quite a small issue *dabs* compared to the whole picture this week, it's Akutsu being unwell. Bro, I guess he is also rather human-like and maybe that's why he can get gastric flu like I do? *laughs* I don't know how this world works explain it to me pls, but hey, maybe, just maybe Lily-chan is too nice to her servant loyal slave. *giggles* To that, and I will say this series in general, the romance ticks however little *dabs* they are haha, I will look forward to it. Heck, maybe these two will help end the war between angels and demons. Yeah, imagine Heaven controlling Hell with a collar like it SHOULD be, dude?? Haha please relax with the religion biases, you can't find an angel this cute OR a demon this handsome in this world. *wink* Yeah I'll stay for all this lore, and the jokes, they hit real well despite catching me off hand sometimes lol what is with the sheep and gorilla faces which stock image site did they steal the images from lol (oh damn wrong year, should say which generative AI did you use haha)
Lily-chan is a great example of how women should enjoy food and think they won't gain weight
(lol *dabs*)
Trying out clothes with your initial set of clothes on??
IS THIS EVEN ANIME-
(Haha)
P.S. "I don't go out with people that often. I don't know how far to take it." Alright girls like this only happen in Anime, guys take notes. *laughs* Or should I make the joke of we should go as far as- "You pervert" Haha dude if I were to explain to you this joke that Ayaneru is technically not doing this in her weekly radio podcast with Hikasa Youko, you might as well leave now I can understand lol
P.P.S. "How about I humiliate you too? And then I'll exorcise you slowly and painfully" Please and thanks. *laughs* 
[Shout out to the previous and first time I had to deal with a b*tch-a** (lol the censorship) Touyama Nao was in Anime "KONOBI" where she voices the main girl's rival but heck, that isn't being one Naobou voicing Ruka-chan in Anime "KanoKari" is way more than that hehe I can't even]
Yuuka-chan here just described Lily-chan for me, thanks *wink*
What it feels to be rejected IRL haha

アニメ Majo to Yajuu
"We don't kill because we like it!" Yeah uh huh look what you guys are doing now bro
Oh yeah, this. *pukes* Haha as I said last week, I like women as much as the next guy but you can't gut them out and say this is magic, old woman. *silence* Well I guess she can. *shrugs* Anyways new episode and the conclusion to this little story oh someone please stop this old b*tch witch (#MajoToYajuu03), ah hey if you don't mind me spoiling you right now and boy may I count down in 3, 2, 1... looks like we have some family matters on our hands to deal with, so let's get to it! For starters, we now know that we are being followed. No, not by the crow familiars which Ashaf has in his possession, but more of literally a certain something is following the town mage (and instead of the other name I shall refer to her as) Haines and the duo, and that's how the enemy is able to nail every trail up their path even with detailed police investigations trying to find out the quotes written on the walls, so much so they would even kill a bookstore owner just for the book in stock? Hey, I guess that's how you avoid copyright infringement. *laughs* Which also shows why the authorities and this mage are sick of it already. Dealing with this b*tch witch. *laughs* Because damn are they so in the way, it's practically impossible to think of what their move is next as they continue to terrorize the town as much as they would like. Haines starts to blame herself even though it's not that, dear mage, nothing good happens around you unlike my bro lol gottem, but hey, it seems like you were followed all the time. We also got more news on how this all happened, with the burndown of the abode Haines was living in, and it's not just her. Living with her are two kids she was taking care of (I assume adopted, but initially thought she was just a young mother tbh), they presumably died with the fire as in they are in ashes so RIP but not really hear me out, which led Ashaf and Gideau to believe that, hardly surprising, this enemy has something in grudge with Haines, considering they also killed her boyfriend. Yeah, it's that complicated, dude. *laughs* Oh well, don't think too far, as if Ashaf's letter from the Order and the crazy lack of the Corps in this incident after such a long time did not give enough hints to this case, because surprise surprise, it's not an actual witch because this would have been a lot harder to deal with, but I guess I also did not notice until the two guys stood before my eyes, that these teens were the kids that Haines has been, and boy I did notice that now, raising so far until they "died". Yeah, love your non-biological mom or whatever, kill your not stepdad and you might as well die from a rifle. *giggles* No really, kids are dumb, aren't they, thinking they can love their mom? *laughs* Which also explains why the coffin would not be necessary, these punks have no idea who they are dealing with even if it's just Gideau as a brat. All in all... sorry for hitting on your kids though, Haines? Haha okay that sounds wrong let me say it again. Sorry for beating your kids up for you though, Haines? Kids need some discipline to know to NOT touch a magic book wherever they see them. Not even when they get punished for not doing their homework. *wink* Now tell me playing with magic was a good idea, eh? But seriously though, you think those grimoire books magically appeared out of nowhere? Someone planted it alright, but maybe that's for another story. Next episode though, looks like we have new guys in town FINALLY I am so sick of Gideau I can't even *laughs*, so we shall see what marvels they may be to help the Order. See you then, somehow I'm not bothered about the sound effects and music anymore, the animation will keep me going so I'm taking this in. Not those kids though. *dabs*
What family used to look like
(Haines does look like an elder sister ngl)
What family looks like now
(This but with smartphones I can't even)
P.S. "He was my magic teacher... and my boyfriend" Wait wait, Haines, you had 2 kids and a boyfriend?? *silence* I shall not inquire any further lol you can figure it out *wink* Ayo magic teacher though? Haha this magic is done on the bed- I'll stop.
[But serious question though, kids? Why target women? *cringe* Haha okay hey did I say to not ask too many questions? MOVING ON~!! (Well if you want me to guess it's likely the book's preference haha yo the book is misogynist, bro)]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week on Klassic Note is a bit slow, as I continue to reject the new songs for the year, and give older songs just because they are just better? Damn, 2024, keep your act together, would ya? *giggles* So yeah sorry Fuchigami Mai's concept best album for not holding up I have no intention to give your older songs because even the new ones I'm hesitating (there are 4, I think my brow only twitched on like, 2) so I say your chances are slim. Thank goodness Yoru no Honki Dance's new album also appeared at this time of year because I was in the mood to listen to them thankfully, and I took a couple of songs under my library. Sadly did NOT hit the title song for the album, and boy, this seems to be a trend now. I somehow knew that the Artist Edition of Ueda Reina's single from 2020 which I DID review will come back to hit me, because that 3rd track would not have mattered in the Regular Edition (because it wasn't included in it) but heck since it's written by the same composer who wrote the other B-side, listening it on the radio show on Thursday (especially at this time of year) made me cave in. So yeah, we shall see how that goes. I want more Ueshama songs, Lantis, and I will wait as long as what, 3 years and counting? For another. *prays*

On news on music, this one will be short so bear with me. miwa's new single is slated for March as we previously reported on her new song being in a drama series, so I'll look forward to that. Album maybe? Kitou Akari is doing a YouTube livestream a day before the release of her new single next week and yes I found that out by watching her fanclub livestream (which you plebs didn't get to watch because you aren't true fans lol) so I also don't know why I would talk about this but heck, this is marketing alright. We are promised a new Yoru no Honki Dance music video at some point but I'm already done with the album so well if it appears then maybe I'll give it another chance. No Buses' new song is alright (no Apple Music link though wtf?), eerily close to vocalist Cwondo's music style very pop-like, so maybe I'll skip this one or maybe leave it for next time. Then again Sangatsu no Phantasia's new song is technically worse so not like this one will join in my music library for the year I don't think. Earphones' new live video may ring a bell to some of you guys but not me, I didn't like the single back then. LUCK LIFE confirmed a new song release... in due time so I guess I can only wait patiently, they have done well last year though, I can use more of them. As mentioned in the Anime review above for "KanaTen", Ishihara Kaori's new album is releasing in April which will likely feature the ending theme song I will give by then along with her songs over the past few years so let's see if this is the release need for me to get more into her, fingers crossed. Kanno Mai sang a new song for her talent company's voice drama series if you haven't heard of her singing before unlike me who frequents her Instagram lives and/or watched her birthday live last year *dabs*, ironically isn't her first time but not like we are getting a solo artist debut anytime soon so welp. And unless you are keen on Tsuji Shion singing in the snow or how Anime "Attack on Titan" got Hikasa Youko to sing solo again in their final live event, then SID's new single releasing in March should catch your interest more than me because remember weeks ago I said a meh to their title song? Yeah boy, waiting to cleanse my palette in two months time haha this paragraph is still long though ngl

So my plan for next week is, we will have to deal with Anime so... not gonna key in the idol group(s) title so Anime "KanaTen" opening theme song single haha this is the laziest I've got but if you find out more you will be even more lazy than me lol just think of IDOLY PRIDE's two main groups it's just that. This, and Amamiya Sora's new single which I will be less impressed by so *shrugs*, and when I'm done with that I will follow up on SHE's EP from 2017 (not to be confused with the album released in the same year) which contains a song I've heard in a recent live video from them which then reminded me that I have never really listened to their early day releases, so I shall devote some time to that. Also on the theme songs in this season's Anime who aren't intending to release a physical release and are only on digital. I'll see about that in a bit. 




Still not feeling well but not like my employer will care about this developer job I'm working on (lol) nor will my mom (oof) so oh well I'll see my own recovery until next month if you guys don't mind. *silence* Anyways, gotta play my free-to-play games, gotta live my life without a soulmate *cringe*, and gotta work so see you guys next time then, I am still at work making sure the next package and season three of Fanfiction will be great hehe I really am trying not to spoil anything because I haven't decided on most of the plots yet haha ah, but hey until then maybe I will be ready. I'm just ready to sleep earlier on time though been keeping that habit at least and it's not because I feel unwell lol someone give me another reason to pick up the Ring Fit game again screaming Karin-chan as I do squats earlier this week did not help *laughs*

Sunday 21 January 2024

The Entertainment News '24 Issue #03

Okay I only now realized that the titles hasn't been updated to the new year number. F**K!! *laughs* Hey, new year new mistakes, amirite??

Anyways, fixed them all everything is right in this world now (just... don't look at the URLs thanks haha), so maybe let's start talking about Anime and music! We have been doing posts all weekend long starting with the final package of last year opened as the first of this year if you get the gist it's just more mistakes and waiting for something to happen, and rounding all them mistakes up took longer than the Song Awards for some reason lol we NEED to speed this up at some point so I don't have to dread on reflecting on my mistakes-

Let's! More Ayaneru I guess I'm so hooked into her in Anime for some reason those newbies need to catch up lol




アニメ Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi
"In the ear? Don't sneak up to me like that?" Well, it's not biting on the ear Tsubasa wtf are you talking about lol
Yeah, it was great sitting out on the family trip to go date, it really was. *giggles* In this new episode where I get to see snow because where I live I can only see the heat from the sun lol (#DosaKoi02), we do some winter stuff this week with our newly found friend classmate! Haha jokes on you Grandma, we already did it in the igloo- ANYWAYS lol mind the ecchi references would ya, but this episode is just a follow-up to whatever new life Tsubasa here has been experiencing in Hokkaido and is desperate to explore more, starting with Minami's rear- Starting with the Winter Festival!! (Haha definitely a typo over there) I don't think it looks much too, maybe younger Minami-san may have liked it more and probably Tsubasa will get bored of it in a couple of years, but heck, seeing snow sculptures? Biting on sugar-coated, excuse me, Minami-san saliva coated corn dogs?? And then falling on top of her??? What an experience! *laughs* Yeah I know, I just listed ALL the wrong things that happened between the couple, but seriously though, it may not be the Harbin Snow Exhibition, but it's still a sight to behold at least for first impressions. They ate local food, sat on top of each other (wait wait don't leave I haven't finished my sentence) to slide down the snow slopes, and took lots of photos worthy of Minami-san's social media feed lol. Hey, they had fun, why won't you? It was still a joy watching them have fun though ngl. Moving on, I think that's probably not an issue now considering we passed the Grandma barrier lol not sure about the dad though we haven't even seen him yet, is Minami-san's totally unobtrusive visit to Tsubasa's... I would call abode to be honest, this is hardly just a house at this point. *giggles* Now that Mianmi-san has that locked and loaded haha you think this is how she knew to pull Tsubasa into her life so they can do it in an igloo in front of the old woman?? I mean, misunderstandings alright *wink*, but kids these days sure have it easy. No really, why didn't anyone do this to me. Oh, no igloos. *laughs* And unlike whatever family traditions or values there are to not talk to outgoing females on the streets, well not like the grandson had a choice but she does have rack and is nice to him so I would say grandma you have NOTHING to worry about this granddaughter-in-law will bear you descendants for DECADES lmao can we not have that on screen, please? *laughs* All in all, still a joy to watch as predictable as it is, I would say it's good but it's also slow in pace as if I haven't complained enough about that about slice-of-life shows. So yeah, I'll still give the 3-episode rule established here for years and totally not stolen online lol, because we will get to listen to not Ueshama but Hanamori Yumiri as they introduce the new girl if I'm not wrong, this one's a gamer. Haha we may have missed that "Yamada-kun" Anime so maybe we take a look at this! Then maybe we can reject the heck out of this one lmao the animation is just not great dude also the ending song written by Ooishi Masayoshi again? Can this guy just buzz off?? Haha *sigh*
[TL:DR; "Maybe you shouldn't get your hopes up..." This series in a nutshell haha what]
This is me at this time of year eating anything hot now haha
(And I live in a tropical location btw)
This is the safer definition of "she is on top of him" lmao
P.S. "Tomorrow's a day off, shall we (the family) go somewhere?" No, Mom, I got a boy to date. *dabs* Haha Minami-san would say that though? 
P.P.S. "This looks like total junk food! Nevertheless, it tempts my appetite with its powerful appearance and fragrance" Bro how can you say that about Minami-san I know she is thicc yet alluring but *dabs*
[Oh wow the cast credits on just Minami-san's family is amazing: Rikachimalu voiced another imouto once again proving that she is the perfect candidate to voice these in Anime EVER lol, KitaEri finally graduated to voicing mom characters also it has been a while since I listened to her anyways, and we don't care about the dad. *laughs*]
Oh yeah I finally get to talk about this:
Some Yakisoba quick eats can do this, I tried one before last year that had like, fried rice flavour lol
Hey, at least they drew the teeth properly.
Wait, let me count haha

アニメ Oroka na Tenshi wa Akuma to Odoru
"Now that you have become my servant..." Yes Ayaneru *woof* I will await your next order *woof* haha ah hey
Wow, AND I get to be rear-ended by an angel?? Where do I sign up? *laughs* Alright me you aren't evil enough to be a demon to fight against Sakura Ayane anyways lol though in this episode (#KanaTen02), maybe "complete obedience" isn't a phrase that has been used in the R18 world in Japan... Oh well it's an Anime now so what of it? *laughs* Well, in case you aren't caught up in the lore like I did and I must say we have finally reached the objective of this series in general, let's talk about it. For starters, that dog tag. *laughs* No really, it can be anything else, but it's invisible and you can completely control a demon on this so why not, right? Ciel Phantomhive WISHES he has such a power without losing an eye lol. Then again, this is unlike what we have here where Akutsu is essentially held captive by Lily-chan here, is now altered to do her bidding, even to the extent of her controlling his body to do whatever she wants? So she can step on me?? WHERE DO I SIGN UP- Haha you are going to hear that very often if I continue with this series. *giggles* Anyways, not that it's a bad thing Akutsu has been warned about this already before he left Hell (also why did he listen to oh hey Kugimiya Rie and her advice to wear a wig and piss the teacher off), but nonetheless he is rather powerless compared to this not so influential angel it seems? Yeah, but I like to assume they both have influences on their own, so this binding contract is just something unlikely to be utilized as this is how it works for this story so far. In compensation though, looks like Lily-chan here does feel bad for not rewarding her new servant *woof *haha sorry that's just me, and through a late night TV show THEY BOTH F**KING WATCHED IN REAL TIME APPARENTLY (lmao this Anime is dumb funny it's great) (yeah and they both know lol we have more than one TV channel in Japan, right?), they both learnt that the best way to punish/reward the other party is by seducing them. Although this results in different goals with Akutsu trying to... I don't know, release that permanent tattoo so he can go to the pool? Haha versus Lily-chan here just actually being an angel and being nice for one in her bullied life from what seems like the higher-ups she was reporting to? Yeah, backstory for later I guess. For now, we can just enjoy them flirting with each other in the boxing field of love while the sensei stakes his life as being the referee in such a dangerous environment. *laughs* Nonetheless, I must say this logic flow is exceptional yet funny at the same time, don't look too deep into their backstories too much I'm sure this isn't an Anime "Kaguya-sama" flashback in the ending animation for Lily-chan here lol, but hey, they are enjoying themselves flirting with each other so what's stopping them? *laughs* All in all, I would say this balance and I don't need I need three episodes to say yes to this, because if it's a romance comedy that knows when to put its alternate worlds in place which will likely happen just to end this season of episodes... I'm not that worried too much as of now, the things these two are doing to each other will keep me going, especially the girl. *giggles* Ask me again next week to see if I have fallen in love with Amane Lily because we're not quite there yet she didn't have the collar on me after all haha *dabs*
[TL:DR; If you need to make me watch Anime nowadays just make Sakura Ayane a joke (shout out to Anime "KanoKano") and I'm already on my seat lol she sounds great as a joke tbh]
What got me this episode:
Someday I will get this feel of a woman landing on my chest, someday. *sob*
What got me this episode:
Heck, you might as well just lick my-
P.S. "My plan indeed, from the TV show I watched yesterday yada yada yada" Haha even the Anime knew to not bore you with the same damn story that Akutsu just mentioned earlier lol and AS ALWAYS, television ruining the worst of us is the best joke in Animr haha see Anime "Hyakkano" for previous reference (No really, we can't do that with Netflix now, can we, Japan? Haha)
P.P.S. "Are those two underaged playing around..." Oh shit the FBI is here "...in public? Let me join in!!" Alright what is this Anime anyways- Did they just copy this from Anime "Hyakkano"?? I'm seeing a lot of similarities with this guy and a certain vice principal lol
[More Lily-chan because I'm not gay and definitely not turned on by Akutsu lol if I want muscles I'll grow them myself-]
These reactions are great ngl also from the guy too haha
If this is what girls look like when they see abs then maaaybe I should start working on them lol

アニメ Majo to Yajuu
"There sure are a lot of crows" *cringe*
Is that 2 minutes for the opening?? Okay NOW this is an opening theme song! Haha maybe I watch more action series, huh. They have better songs too- You heard that Anime "MASHLE" opening theme song from Creepy Nuts too? What a coincidence. *giggles* Alright this Anime first, we can listen to songs later. This episode though continues on the story of witches and beasts lol it's in the title (#MajoToYajuu02), but about magic curses that come with sacrifice. Pretty normal for magical worlds if you ask me, which also means someone might have obtained a power that isn't within their control. Not me, I haven't gained the power to let girls fall in love with me. *laughs* Old bitch witch this week sorry haha, but that is not until we have a month of... what was that, babysitting a beast? Sure is a tough job for mostly Ashaf I suppose, not like Gideau will be doing anything besides finding the witch she hates most and kills them. *laughs* So interestingly, it didn't take long for us to know what they are going that. Also why the lesson in the intro, because Gideau here is stuck with a curse. If it's looking badass and missing out on her delinquent youth being a blonde beauty I would say I'm sorry right now *giggles*, but you know, reasons. Reasons we don't have to know because it's not in the case, reasons that maybe can be said in a soundproof room but it's not we got jebaited by the Mage in the city they then visited, and reasons the mayor only called upon these guys to help this Mage out just because they don't want whatever Army to come in to interfere. You know, it's a terrible job but I rather pay for diplomacy than fight a war. *silence* Anyhow haha politics joke by the way, that is what has been decided, I like how these two get priority over witch missions which basically means they are the main characters in this series lol, and looking at this case... we have got quite the thing going on here. I know they made sure to show you the chests of women being ripped apart and expanding and such *cringe*, but hey, if this is the only ecchi stuff they can show us to you know, make us remember back the action, I'll take it. *laughs* Then again, I'm pretty sure everything else might have gotten your attention. The good food haha that is quite a good wine Gideau just spilled *licks table*, the travelling too, the drama here so far is rather palatable not like we are dealing with <insert Kara no Kyoukai r*pe scene here> so... I think I am alright in seeing some kind of action going on here, which would likely conclude soon somehow with something hidden in the bushes as Ashaf kept part of the letter shown to Gideau. I would assume this is a two-parter from the episode title, and I think I shall decide if I want to continue watching by then. But seriously though, even in animation this isn't as bad as the other two even though I can just pause a frame and show you a "SHAFTed" Gideau looking back it's just weird lol, the theme songs are the best so far also even if not by my standards, and damn is the story as captivating as it's also great. The action is solid though, even if the sound effects aren't working their best. Heck, it's like Gideau, dude. She isn't working her best but she still has to work, but I'm just into this so maybe I'll work harder than Ashaf to come back and see what happens to this witch- Tell me that is a dude haha I'll be damned if it is
[TL:DR; "Why are you so fixated on the witch?" Dear lady, you didn't watch last week's episode? BRUH haha]
What I look like at work right now
What I actually feel like at work now
(lol)
P.S. "Mistake is another word for experience. They are both shortcuts to wisdom" Yeah not wrong I gained experience buying duplicate bromide photos last year I won't do it this year *wink* (Or is Pokémon trading card packs more relevant? I don't know lol)
P.P.S. "I'll kill you later, but I can beat you up first" Haha Gideau would you please though? Just be gentle lol

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Well, this week is a slow week in Klassic Note, but that doesn't mean I haven't been giving songs left and right. Because I found out they put these guys' up on Apple Music this week, I ended up listening to QUATTRO's album from 2010, and this is so comforting I can't even, I don't even want to listen to the new songs that have appeared this week alone. Yes, talking about you, Kroi's new single. Not you though, No Buses' new song, you were actually great. Not the music video though haha why are songs, why. Moving on though to more not new songs, I think I did do this before, but MaRuRi's song from last year did get me with the love lines almost avoiding whatever jams on the melody is in there, and I took a detour to give her other song that I have previously rejected a couple of years ago, if I'm not wrong. Yeah, the music video is still in my YouTube viewing history. *laughs* Turns out I can give subpar songs at the start of the year-

Okay, we got new music up the alley, and it's not because I listened to Creepy Nuts' new song that has been taking over the Anime audience this week. *laughs* Seriously addicting though, thinking of if I even care to give it tbh. Other than that, we have more news that'll pique your interest, so hear me out. miwa's new song is for a cooking drama and I think this is setting her out for the new year after what she has delivered to us last year, those two EPs. Earphones' new song included in their upcoming album which I could wait for a month but heck I might as well listen, is a surprisingly simple and good song though? Well, the album is coming soon I'll take my chances at more surprises from here on, this is the niche stuff that'll get me sometimes and I like that. Ryokuoushoku Shakai announced their new single is releasing start of March this year so yay more of RyokuShaka I guess, which should feature their recent credits for drama. Asakura Momo's new single covers look so good I might as well not talk about the song itself lol we shall see again when the music video or B-side is revealed in due time. In their Budokan live tour this weekend, Kroi announced a new album slated for this summer ie. wait for July at least haha, which will include their new major debut singles and it has been a while since I heard of their album 2 years ago so let's set the palette again once again, guys. SCANDAL revealed more details of their upcoming album including track list and one of them being an ending theme song for Anime so that's rad. What is not rad though is probably them needing to align their style with me again with all those misses in recent years, I hope this will help turn it around. Hanazawa Kana announced a new album due for April which also means it's time for me to give that one song I've neglected a year before this album will be released lol, but also give us a good time to see what else she has to offer before I cancel by fanclub subscription which will likely come first. *silence* Don't tell me please I don't want to make her sad haha I will still listen to the album on music streaming though. Just hot off the press from the end of their live tour, Natsukawa Shiina announced a new single which includes the spectacular collaboration with her on the lyrics and the composition from Tabuchi Tomoya (yes that bassist from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN who wrote too many off-beat Anime songs to please) so this is going to be something cool to say the least. Ah I see why now, it's releasing on 17th April, Shiina Day.

Okay so next week, I am in high hopes for Yoru no Honki Dance's new album which is a good reminder to all of us they aren't dead yet they are still dancing the way I want them to hopefully, because Fuchigami Mai's concept album is just devoid of new songs I might just listen when I have the time. Still a rather slow start for January but it's fine I have songs to listen to. 




Aw damn, am I really not feeling too well so I will finish this before I drop into my bed for the next few years days if I need to (lol) which I hear my new bolster is quite different from the previous one which was exchanged with my dad's years ago *ugh* haha so that'll be fun. *laughs* Otherwise, you'll be glad to be served with a slew of blog posts and even more if you have not been around for like, a year or so because you will be greatly entertained by the stuff I bought over the past year besides medicine and nutrition products. *silence* I know, life is pain, I keep being reminded of it. See you guys then, maybe I settle in early, and until next time... Ten-chan as phone wallpaper as next week feels wasted if I'm only staring at my phone all day, don't you think? *wink*

The Welfare Package 2023: The Roundup

Oh what, you think I would forget about this? I was just waiting for the *final* package for the year before I do this. Besides, how would I ever forget this? It's that time of the year where I list the mistakes I made... again... *sob*

People say that one needs to save money to invest, to keep for emergencies, and to buy necessities or prepare for marriage and kids, but WHO F**KING CARES about ALL of those things, daddy needs his voice actress idolism quick fix. *giggles* And as such,  I do up this (basically) meaningless post every year because nowadays if I want to reflect on this I just randomly read one or read the ones I like so this doesn't really matter. *laughs*

So yeah, we have a long enough intro, let's get to it! Spicing up the presentation this time around if you don't mind, I had all day to do this lol

MOST WORTH ITEM BASED ON ITEM VALUE
Need I say more? For actually allowing this purchase in the first place, my first attempt at Comiket 102 in August supporting artists I've followed online for nearly a year (apart from Yomu-sensei they are an exception to this) really expanded my horizons to the world of doujin art and illustrations. I tell you, even now, I still desire to get more even as I type this specifically for Comiket 103 which was held end of last year (and was planned to be with Douki-chan's final volume, but I abstained from that), somehow got me more into some of the illustrators, like, wanting more Hitei-sensei art and simping on Sano Hiyori and her their works is too real I use my Surface Pro in portrait now. Expect another round of this but with different people next year, I tell ya. As much as it's also not that cheap, these value for money artwork books are a great way to support Japan's indie art industry before AI settles in and ruins all the fun for us. *silence*
Runner up though, I think can be the Kido Ibuki collaboration T-shirt as I set new standards for what idolism trash T-shirt requirements should set me up for future purchases (or not, who will put themselves on the shirt *wink*), I'm actually wearing this very often (and even outdoors) no one will ever know where this treasure unless, and I have not met them in person, they are a super fan of Ibuki-chan for some reason. No, right? I'm the only fan here? Haha I'm so proud of it for some reason.

Digital purchases-wise, definitely the most worth for money was when they discounted Amamiya Sora's two photobooks for the price of one even though they are only released about 5 months at the time of pruchase. Sure, they aren't originals they are based on serializations on the popular Seigura magazine, but heck, I don't have enough social media photos to admire this perfection and this was very vital in making sure she is burnt into my memory. Same year, dude, same year. *giggles* 


LEAST WORTH ITEM BASED ON ITEM VALUE
I totally regretted visiting MusicRay'n Mall for two months straight and the latter was for some Valentine's Day postcards and in turn I bought some pants *ugh* haha and this isn't even of the girl, but literally nothing, NOTHING can make me angrier than that F**KING EARPHONES 8TH ANNIVERSRY GACHA IS SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY I CAN'T EVEN. As I would put it in a sentence, "all I needed to do was to wait 3 weeks and I could have saved a hundred bucks". YUP, those are MORE expensive than marupi-chan's gacha runs and I did that thrice which is half of the above purchase already *pukes*, still is more than a copy of the actual on sale items afterwards which I actually was waiting for. If not for my lack of patience (which I will explain why not later I promise you) (the fate of timing, dude) and wanting to get something from them (not Nagaku Yuki, f**k you) and not fearing of the high price of the gacha itself... yeah whatever that printed sign was worth it lol I don't even know what to do with the arcylic displays. Hang them somewhere? Ugh, don't mention this to me again, thanks. 

And I guess runner up can be going to the auction site for bromide photos again haha this pales in comparison but it was for a CD single I could not buy off hand. I'm never doing this again too tell me to eat a thousand needles next time before I do it. *giggles*


BOLDEST ATTEMPT
Gravure idol photobook without images of boobs??
Yes, keeping it clean here haha
It was a time earlier this year when DMM still hasn't region locked (again) their services to domestic sales, and boy did I at least take that ride when there was a sale back then, and could not help but ask myself what can I pay tribute to from my childhood this year. *giggles* I know there's Sugihara Anri's photobook at the start of this year and that's rather bold of me, but little did I know that long time idol(?) Shinozaki Ai is still releasing photobooks so I, uh, did not buy the latest one mind you haha, and bought one a couple of years ago? Yeah, it's still good, it's still gravure it's not as bad as last year *dabs*, but yeah Shinozaki, this one is for you. That's all. *laughs* Oh, she does not have that much history compared to the former; Sugihara has been around for quite a while haha ah


NEAR MISSES
This one, I feel like I have a lot to mention about this year, if you haven't been following my adventures already, so here we go. Specifically two periods of time I missed purchasing (of course) more bromide photos which would have made me a happy man this year. Firstly, it was some Kana-chan event bromide photos and boy my reason for not buying it right off the bat was because I was waiting for Akarin? Yeah, I thought she will make it in so I can bundle it with this (and maybe slap in some Ayachi ones hehe) but DAMN did the Kana-chan ones just sell out within 2 days I can't even. Randomized too, likely leftover from the event too, though I assumed that compared to the previous time we did this, it wasn't that on demand. *sigh* Should've given PONY CANYON more shipping money, which I eventually did actually even without Kana-chan, you can find out more in the posts I did respectively. *laughs*

The second time and boy I hate to mention this again let's get this done and over with lol, it was when that Aizawa Saya bromide photo set was sold for her yearly birthday event back in September. And no, we are not talking about the time I had to use CDJapan's Proxy Shopping service to buy the ones from last year's birthday event. (Almost missed counting that in tbh) This one, and now I think social media promotions are actually important, is that I totally skimmed over the promotions of the sale of these items (because they looked the same pre and post-event), and by the time I realized it was up (which I have been waiting for weeks) and I went to the store... it was sold out. My heart just dropped into the bottom of the seas when I saw that because, and I dare not hype you too much lest you find out about my fetishes, she was dressed up as a Pien Girl (this article is as much info as I can show to non-Japanese audience) essentially dressed up as some gothic gyaru with extreme makeup? I guess is the best description, and she is ADORABLE in that my heart sank even further into the abyss. I did not physically recover from that, I tell ya, much worse than when Saya-chan had too announce her hiatus. *silence* I hope she's well though.


WORTHY MENTIONS


marupi Photobook
"START DASH"

Suguta Hina Photobook
"Okita?"


Kido Ibuki Photobook
"Ibuki to Date"

Tachibana Haru Gravure Photobook
"Futon-san"
Amamiya Sora Photobook
"10 miles to America ~modern~"
Amamiya Sora Photobook
"10 miles to America ~classic~"

Okay two things I will mention here, one as a summary of the digital landscape for me this year, and one as a continuation from where I left off refreshing my music listening setup.

The list above should be a decent summary of what I will credit them for just this year alone, if you would recall those collaboration take-for-each-other TomoSha series which had like Suguta Hina and Kido Ibuki *chef's kiss* haha, marupi-chan was because I couldn't wait 9 months for a photobook review so I got that on my birthday (thanks for the info, Amazon) (also so far supported by Shupure lmao that's technically a gravure idol site) (they also did Moeshi's digital photobook which I didn't buy), I mentioned Ten-chan above which its discount is icing on the sweet cake, but specifically I want to talk about Futon-chan's collaboration digital photobook with photographer Saruyama Hideto, who chose to take photos of the girl in winter... and with glasses? Oh boy, it's still a gravure-level photobook alright, I'm pleased at what I saw. *giggles* These things are a rarity, so I thought I should mention them more.

It's shabby, don't judge, it has a budget.

And then, there's the modernistic CD player I bought to replace my current boombox. *laughs* I've been using that for years, and have only been using those for years because Hi-Fi systems are not cheap anyways, and I could go for a more wireless setup that takes up less space, so my decision back then was to buy this... this portable CD drive from the old days if you kids have ever seen those before, and then wirelessly pair them with a Bluetooth-supported bookshelf speaker set. And eventually, instead of going for the standard (which means expensive) option which my cousin was rich enough to buy (he also bought a condominium so what else is new lol), so I went for the budget option in view of how little I do reviews for Klassic Note nowadays. *sigh* Maybe the next time I upgrade this is when I can put all the CDs up in a single room and I have an actual listening room to put a pair of speakers that will immerse me in. Just don't ask what I'm listening to some cute girl singing. *giggles*


ALRIGHT finally we can talk about who won this year! I love to do such things, huh.

And I'm finally done! I spend all afternoon on this I don't have to do anything else now. *thumbs up* Happy birthday Futon-chan! I hope some gifted subs is enough for your Twitch channel to host a bath stream someday. *giggles* I can't buy your photobook from your online store anyways they don't like international cards so *shrugs* but hey, I mentioned you in this, how about that! Yes, I covered my digital footprint last year too, there have been many things happening. Hopefully we can do more of that this year, but damn, this might be hard as Japan likes to make sure we physically buy stuff (which is still inevitably taking up space even if it's photos) and boy does it make the stockpile here grow faster than I expect. Still, don't think I'll stop doing this as long as I keep the first photobook rule down *giggles* no really Kido Ibuki sounds great paired with the word "swimsuit" but maybe it's time to branch out. *laughs* See you then haha

P.S. I did some research ie. I just searched in Japanese lol, the difference between the two terms of photobooks used in Japan which are in Kanji "shashinshuu" and in Katakana "fotobukku". The gist is that the latter is for expressing something so it typically comes with comments and more focused on its art, and the former is more of just purely showing off photos. Which will explain why Koko-chan's books are so far called the latter term just because- You saw that cover on the 2nd photobook though? That's expression, I'll give you that.

P.P.S. In case you wonder my fetish to "Pien Girls" and the thing... don't read the depression part in the article but let's just say you can get picked up by an adult video producer to have s*x with some dude. You know, to let off steam. HAHA okay I'm done keep this a secret here would ya
