"[Translated] No one wants to alight at this stop anyway! Can we just move on?"

Uh... *all the human discriminations I can think of* Yah.

Either they are behaving like me, or I'm behaving like them.

I must be hallucinating. I better be.

[P.S.: Is there such a thing called "Human Behaviour Association Syndrome"?]

It's these kinds of lessons that "set me thinking".

What am I confident at? Nothing!

A hyperactive mind with a restless body...

That is why I am unable to do anything. Period.

The Entertainment News Week #33

Hi guys, and welcome back. It’s been like forever since I used that introduction again. Well, glad it’s back. And you guys too, if there is any. This week… is rather short, and probably for many weeks ahead, but at least from Anime I see great potential in the next season… (I almost always say that to myself, so…)

アニメ
ANIME

Glasslip: Wow. The most controversial episode thus far? Actually this show has not failed to surprise me till now, even if it is an Anime original. Come on, does it have to be like this? Do they have to make Touko go berserk? Do they have to make David look like the bad guy? Do they have to start tearing up relationships that are halfway set? Well, let’s hope this does not get in the way of the bigger picture, now that we’re halfway into the season. Currently even Touko’s sister is coming into the spotlight…

“After going through all of that, I think my favorite part of the episode was probably any scene that had Touko’s younger sister. Not only did the episode title seemed to be focused on her (I didn’t see any other bicycles) but I thought it was kind of cute how her swim team seems to be madly in love with Yuki.” –Takaii @ Random Curiosity

Kuroshitsuji: Well good that this story isn’t disappointing, as following the story rather religiously is rather expected of this production thus far. Some may be left out, but I guess it’s fine. Good thing is we’re not far from the ending. It’s all going to start next week. Sad thing is it’ll be a lot to cover before it ends. Here’s wishing to a- oh yah I think I know the ending; I shouldn’t think of a good ending, huh.
I will skip SHOWS unless you want me to talk about CrazyGod. One Piece is not my cup of tea.

No BLEACH so nothing for this week.

This Week on Klassic Note

Well I managed to take a listen to Amamiya Sora (Ten-chan) and her debut single “Skyreach”, and think it’s pretty good. The whole single. Yeah, and this is likely what I’ll expect next week:

They should’ve taken the B-side of this single as the ending song for Isshukan Friends. Seriously. (Audience: Seriously? The photo is more important than the CD?) Hehe yep *^_^*
On other new additions for the week, I also gave a good listen to nano.RIPE and their latest album released at the start of the year. And I think it’s good, given the first impression from the live performance from the latest single’s DVD. But seriously still kind of mindful about that high pitch act-cute voice, so decided to hold back. Okay, maybe three songs isn’t as much as holding back, huh. I could’ve given only one…

Well there isn’t much for next week, so probably I’ll take a break from getting new songs. Or not. Two weeks from now will be releases from Aqua Timez and SID, so I’ll be looking forward to that, especially Aqua Timez; It’s been some time. For news of new songs approaching, I’ve been posting on Twitter, so I guess here’s the summary. Ayachi’s next single will be opening song (wow for the first time it’s credited) (must be good) (hopefully) for Anime “Denkigai no Honya-san”, premiering next season, which I did mention I intend to watch. Ikimono’s new single also features a new song to be the opening theme song for next season Anime “Nanatsu no Taizai”, which… (*sees Fairy Tail author*) I may or may not watch. Just by looking at this:

I’m not optimistic. But then last year I watched Titans. It’s about time for this year, huh. Come on, you guys know I normally don’t watch this. BLEACH is SOO much better. (Letterbox filled with audience complaints) Haha screw you guys.


Well that’s all, folks. And after this I’m going to honour my promise by finishing up Chapter 12 of APoL and carrying on because I lost the bet. To fail English. But I’m glad. Don’t have to su**** be*** tog***** wi** C**** p***le liao. Haha, go figure. Cya guys next week then, and until next time… please come back. I need company. Even if it is me answering myself.

[P.S.: I then noticed my laugh is weird. Maybe I should stop laughing already. For aesthetic and cosmetic reasons. My voice and my looks, basically… (Audience: But you’ve been laughing so rarely lately…)]

[P.P.S.: There isn’t much for this week, but if you guys insist…

Again I noticed, that I’m into older girls. OMG. (Come on because the new generation has nothing to offer, okay??)
[Okay Ten-chan is the same age as me, and Mina-chan is just one year older. Don’t mind?]

The Continuation

In latest news: I'm done with English.

More news? I have to take a core module that is going to challenge my English proficiency.

[P.S.: Great. Now I have to continue with APoL Chapter 12. (Audience giggling)]

That is why I said "I shouldn't choose things myself"!

It mostly (if not, always) goes for the worse...

Somehow, and almost every time, I came to hate people who behave just like me. Even if it is just a bit.

That includes speaking cheap English, generally speaking Chinese, quiet, looks like a nerd...

I swear "Reserved Seating" is reserved to all who deserve to sit on it.

I'm definitely not referring to those people who do not deserve those seats.

No, and there's no image to prove it.

Achievement Unlocked: Missed First Lecture

Can't believe I got this just by messing up my calendar.

[P.S.: By the way, I'm talking about 'within my life' not just like 'today' or something, you know.]

The Entertainment News Week #32

Wow nano.RIPE’s 3rd album makes them SO DAMN GOOD. Now I’ve to give more songs already.
Moving on to the topic of this post… Oh I have to talk about them here too, hehe.

アニメ
ANIME

Somehow I think I shouldn’t give reviews one day after I’ve watched everything. It all subsides off by the time I get here…
Glasslip: Wow. Punches and slaps may not be the convention we all watch shows of this genre, and the reasons are rather shallow (on the surface of course), but then they’ve done it. Yukinari-kun and Yanagi-san. I don’t know how far they may get, but it’ll definitely get exciting, nonetheless. And we’re halfway through this already. Let’s hope they think of a good way to solve this. Like, through foreseeing the future? Heh…
Kuroshitsuji: Getting exciting already, isn’t it? Finally Ciel and Sebastian get into investigation and find out, surprisingly, a lot of things. Like there’s a guy behind all the first-class members in the circus, and Ciel being noticed, and Doll actually being the freckled girl (yeah female summore) sleeping above Ciel all the time. With more to come, I want to see this end in an epic manner. And I know A-1 Pictures will deliver it, yes?
It maybe too early to talk about it now, but then I’ve been scouting new Anime for next season, and results have been surprisingly good.
Denkigai no Honya-san: A story about a bunch of weird workers in a manga store in the middle of an electronic shop district (hence the title of the story), and feels like WORKING!!, and definitely something I think I can watch. Hope the jokes are funny, and seeing the first chapter I have confidence that it will.
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: This… may be a good diversion from Ao Haru Ride as I pick up another romance Anime, this time more to Shounen genre (so won’t have the mushy and overdetail stuff) and also has music elements in it. Yeah. The last time I gave a show with a piano in it is… Apollon, two years ago. Let’s hope this time round they’ll make it good. As I say, theme songs and music within make the better of an Anime adaptation. Really. Maybe not for you, but I believe it more. Probably half the reason why I dropped Ao Haru Ride too…

SHOWS
MythBusters: Wow two episodes in one week! And both are new! Well I’ve watch one of the myths, but that is barely making the content familiar to me as they talk a lot of myths from gender preferences to traffic solutions. Pretty damn good episodes in a while, I must say.
CrazyGod: Yesh, they’re doing an adaption of One Piece. OMG.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: I wonder what is going to happen to the possessed Hitsugaya when I noticed the real problem is what is REALLY going to happen to him when Mayuri is put into the equation. Let’s just hope it’s just enough to get him off the zombie possession and not kill him. *pause* I say this because I believe Kubo won’t intentionally kill good guys. Yet.
One Week Friends: Have been chasing the manga ever since the Anime ended, and will do so from now on. Latest chapter is on the school festival, where Shougo and Saki-chan are avoiding each other and Hase-kun, afraid to expose the true beauty of Fujimiya-san to everyone else, is stopping her from helping out as a waitress in the maid cafe held by the class. Seriously, this possessiveness he has better not get over him. And yes, Fujimiya-san IS damn cute. It’s like I see a second season coming by soon. Haha. Actually I also want Kashiwagi-san to appear as an adaptation, but- Haiz…

This Week on Klassic Note

Wow. I don’t know how to start liao. I just talked about a nano.RIPE album just now. Since we know about Choucho already, let’s talk about nano.RIPE then. In the afternoon have been listening to a live from them, specifically their live tour this year from the single’s DVD. Not bad I must say, and that brings me to the main point. The three songs that caught me? Two of them are from the latest album. The other is a classic in their list, which is great too. I’ll see how much I can give them; the girl’s high pitch voice plus the standard rock style in the band don’t make of a deep impression, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad. So have a listen to them too; they songs sound great with the melodic tunes and out-of-the-box lyric compositions…

Coming next week (obviously have not came yet) is Amamiya Sora-chan’s first solo single “Skyreach”, no doubt will give a listen, even if I don’t watch Anime “Akame ga Kill”. Just to offset the disappointment I hear from Tomacchan’s new single? Haha she may just replace her? I guess I’ll think about it…?


Well I guess that’s all for this week. Next week… I may be in a bad mood. Not like I’m not now, but I’ll try not to. Cya guys next week then, and until next time… don’t be a sloth like me. Now, if you would excuse me, I shall continue to assume lying down position…

[P.S.:


I hope no one finds this extra segment irritating. Or disappointing. Or both. For me? Personally I think it’s both.]

I just noticed another thing:

The people I've been actually raising my voice to are my parents.

I'm a sinner. Or maybe I've been spending too much time telling them about me.

[P.S.: Entertainment News coming up next. You will stay by to wait for it, right?]

I've been doing less outstanding things already. Even if they are bad.

I guess that's why I've not been getting many friends.

[P.S.: Orientation's tomorrow, and I'm hyped. At least mentally. Hopefully they don't ask much. Oops.]

Personally, I think I am the ultimate racist.

I can't tell you why though; I might offend you.

[P.S.: Funny I think so much when I'm outside. Looks like I need to get out more.]

Another reason to watch next season Anime "Denkigai no Honya-san".

Ayachi's doing the opening song. Yesh.

[P.S.: If you're already looking forward to next season (like me), go ahead and find out what's happening on for 'Anime Fall 2014', yeah?]

Don't ask so much. Just don't think.

Sadly for me for tomorrow I cannot, or I'll end up taking another module.
[P.S.: And it ripples out to things I mentioned here too, like APoL, APoL, APoL...]

The Entertainment News Week #31

It’s end of the week again, so let’s get started.

アニメ
ANIME

Glasslip:
Did I just mention I won’t be watching Ao Haru Ride already? Okay, let’s carry on.
Glasslip: This week’s episode is making things more interesting. Problem is any more and we may get that syndrome that we’ll get sick of waiting for some outcome and stop watching. But of course so, things are clarified but the pressure’s on. So, let’s watch on and see, yeah?
Kuroshitsuji: So in this episode (still following the Manga religiously), Ciel and Sebastian try to blend in with the life in a circus. Problem is none of them have seen how the circus team is “recruiting” kids, and Ciel cannot take the life already. Hopefully they’ll get a move on soon.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Seeing that the new “zombies” revived by Mayuri is not going to die yet, Hitsugaya comes to the scene. On the opponent’s side. Problem is we don’t know if he’s dead or just possessed by the Sternritter by the blood while unconscious. Either way though, we can say goodbye to the kid already. Hopefully not. Kubo ALWAYS makes miracles.

This Week on Klassic Note

This week’s actually about nano.RIPE, but we’ve done that already. This week’s also about Tomacchan’s single, but I didn’t like it. This isn’t the first time already though. Well, we’re moving on to next week’s releases, which is only Choucho-san and her new single. Well, the problem I stated back last week didn’t happen. I most likely didn’t have to choose the singles to buy because… even if the B-side is the image song for the Anime, but then we haven’t heard it in the show yet, so I guess… not. Say goodbye to the photo I’m waiting for. Haha.


That’s all. If you’re wondering why I’m keeping it short is likely because (1) I’m distracted and (2) things are happening. Soon. By next week this post may even be forgotten. Unless things get so damn interesting in the shows and new chapters of Manga come in. Until next time… take care. Of myself too.

[P.S.: The images, yeah?

Tomacchan’s just any company’s visual model already, huh.]

The First Hiatus??: APoL

It may be closer than you think.

Because my English is not so good (at least in professional opinion, well I'm also doubting myself anyway), I have to take another (hopefully last) English test. How? Well if I pass it'll be the last, and I will carry on with APoL. If not...

Yes, this might be my first hiatus until I pass that module. Sucks to be me, huh. Not to worry, I'll try to bring up Chapter 12 as much as possible. But seeing that it is going to be as long as (or even longer than) Chapter 4 (Sacchi's sad love story back then?), I may not be able to finish it in due time. If you need dates I'll give you. The fifteenth this month. Which is less than two weeks from now till I take the test and get the results.

Wish me luck. If not, I WILL have to pause this story of the century. Haha. No, really.

[P.S.: The reason why I do not write 'APoL' in front of the title is to not troll you guys of a chapter release.]

The Revolutionary Decision

I’ve came across many decisions in life, and I know you guys do too. But I’d just like to share one of them here, especially in the case of getting more CDs on my shelf. Not that it’s full (yet), but sooner or later it will. And it costs money. And I have to support them because it follows the review standard.

THE DECISION
In summary, Choucho’s new single “Natsu no Hi to Kimi no Koe” for Anime Glasslip will be out next week, or as early as this weekend. It’s not much, and I shall not talk about like as if I’m reviewing it here, but seeing its B-side is an insert song for the Anime too, chances are I’ll be giving the song too, which makes it ready to reach my home. But…

THE CONUNDRUM
But that may also go against the standards for me ordering CDs. (Audience: Eh?? How so?) Well because it has the Anime that has a CD cover. See, over the past few years there have been many singers that are signed under Anime music companies which are under major labels, like Aniplex under Sony Music Japan and Starchild under King Records. Thus so, the songs, though not sung by the Anime characters themselves, have been considered in the Anime genre in many, especially when they start to have the Anime as their covers. The problem here for me is, because my standards till now is that anything with an Anime cover will most likely won’t land on my shelf because it is not counted as a mainstream release, due to its origins. So NOW I may have to lower the standard a little to accept those covers too.

THE PAST CASES
Because past incidents involving those which have Anime covers have not been under review (ie. not all songs are in the list) or just purely in the Anime genre that I can just exclude them (character songs, theme song singles) definitively. If you don’t understand, I’ll make it simple. Current standard for Klassic Note now is that Anime theme songs, not Anime cover, it’s in. But Anime theme songs, Anime cover (which normally will not pass the standard), means it’s out.

THE IMPACT
That is if I press the button for Choucho’s single, I’ll also be allowing many singles to be accounted for this year. Namely many previous singles I’ve excluded, the latest being the theme songs for Anime Isshuukan Friends. Kon Natsumi’s latest single has an Anime cover, and it’s… fully and thoroughly listened to. This and Choucho’s single are going to change the idea and perception of standards of approval in Klassic Note, especially five years ago this is not the case.

 

 

 

Another revolutionary decision of a single review spurring the purchase of many more CDs. Coming earliest this weekend.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) July 30, 2014

[Translation] If I like and want to buy Choucho's new single (Glasslip), I may have to give a few more including one from Isshuukan Friends.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) July 30, 2014

So how? I guess I may have to approve, but Rome isn’t built in a day, not so say my shelf of CDs. But of course if two can tango, then I may just have to give the thumbs up for both. Then also I have to browse through previous years to see if I missed anything (likely not many) when this new rule takes effect. Well, if it ever happens that I DO approve them, you guys are going to see a long preview next week. (I haven’t reviewed Kon Natsumi’s single, have I?) (*Browses through old site*) (Yeah I haven’t) Have a nice day. My week is going very well.

[P.S.: Chapter 12 is under way. Don’t ask how much. No loading screen or status bar here.]

The Dream Record #2

Wow I dreamt of her again! It's been some time...

 

It was in a lesson. I'm not clear as to what lessons are conducted at the time, but she was sitting in the same row. After some leaving of seats for some unknown reason (note the vagueness of the origin), we went back to our own seats. After standing as a class we all sat down, except for me who is still standing. I then noticed I'm still standing, and wanted to sit down when I noticed she was standing right behind me, on my seat!

"You wanted my seat so much?"

I asked her politely and she got a shock. Noticing that it is not her desk, she immediately left.

"No, don't go. If you really want to I don't mind, you know."

I actually grasped her arm She reacts in fright.

"Only you would think of such perverted stuff!" (Not sure of this either)

I let go of her arm and she quickly went back to her seat. A male classmate sitting right behind me commented how bold I'm getting already.

The lesson continues. It looks like we're going through a pop quiz. Suddenly the teacher started passing pencils down the rows.

"What is happening?"

"Oh there was a mistake in the marking. You can claim 40 if you got that wrong."

"What 40? U got the answer correct, and it's only worth 1 mark! What, 40% of a mark?"

I was flabbergasted by what the classmate explained to me.

It was meal time (unknown meal of day). I went alone to the canteen. It was crowded. The last few seats were about to be taken. Seeing the crowd, I quickly looked around for a place to settle. I ended up only finding a large round table with like 10 seats, in which I sat down and many solo students followed.

I went to queue for a stall. Then I noticed in front of the queue is my father, and he noticed me too.

"Where is your seat?"

"Over there."

He pointed to the small table for four right in front of me, leaving me in surprise.

 

Sorry guys, but that's as much as I can remember. Bear in mind things mentioned above are not in sequence, and many have been modified to make things clear, though generally vague. Everything in brackets are my comments and inferences, not part of the dream.

 

[P.S.: I noticed I remember dreams better with stress. And you should be glad I'm willing to wake up early to post this much, yes?

 

And I think this (the front part) is good material for APoL. Hmm...]
