The Klassic Note Review 2015.10 Issue 2

One at the start and one at the end of the month? I swear I didn't arrange this.

Okay, I did somehow. I dragged it for a day. But then, this definitely is the last of the month, so... Happy Halloween. I don't listen to scary singles, so here's a happy one.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

sphere - DREAMS, Count down! [Single]

Limited Edition A

Limited Edition B

Regular Edition

(Clearly there's a bias. But then a bunch of shots is also pretty cool. Besides, the songs are better.)

Origin: I don't want to express bias at this point, but since we're talking about the most popular voice actor-based music group then this is it. Having being to Budokan (probably the biggest and most popular area to host concerts) and even overseas, they definitely received local popularity and a touch of international fame at some point already. At the start of the year they released a best album according to fan votes, and though I didn't participate in the voting the audience clearly knows what's good. That again, this is their third single of the year (having already missed two, one closer than the other), and I'm finally getting one on the shelf. Great. Now that is got through what the other two singles of the year didn't, let us talk about why this single comes so good just upon first impression.

(1) DREAMS, Count down!
Written by the same guy who probably wrote lyrics with dangerously wrong English lyrics for the group ever since they started, this song definitely hit the point for music instead of lyrics when I first heard it. Lively, familiar tune (somehow) featuring a music video promoting a dance schematic (called "Dansphere") hoping to turn up the crank for the audience to learn and also dance with them in future lives, which I agree will work on all of us. Even I want to dance to the song. Having not seen the full music video yet, I won't say much about them as OLs, but the song itself is easy-listening, even though they suffer from the usual bridge mistake which I explained for many times already. Other than that, it must be a good song, yes?
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) CHANCE!
As usual, it's the B-side which probably caught me off guard. With respect to the previous single which I missed due to how slightly unacceptable the other song in the release is, this one hit the spot the moment I listened to it, which explains how much easy-listening songs should be with these releases. As for the lyrics, we are met with the motivating and happy style of producers... we've probably heard of but not remembered in our lives. Nonetheless, the meaning generally follows the first song, which advocates crowd movement (singing instead of dancing, as with above) and gives us a face of positivity, and for that, I say this song presents itself well. Better than the A-side, really. That's how it gets attention.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

Conclusion: I must say I'm pleased with the single this time round, even though I suppose there can be more to them. But considering their 6 years into this, and they can still come up with ways to promote themselves and also write songs I like a lot, I must say they still have their charm despite already considered an idol group within Klassic Note. If you're not a fan and need a reason to listen to the single, I'll say the B-side because it sounds great overall. And if you can dance to the girls, then this whole release can be for you. *laughs*

THE PACKAGE
You know I waited for another week just to meet a time when I'm at home to get this, right? Nah, you guys don't know...

Coming to the special gifts for the release, we're met with postcards, and not just postcards like Hocchan, oh no. This one is not even a fraction of the CD itself, which proves rather disappointing already since I got it from Sony Music Shop itself to (1) ensure I get a special gift, and (2) that the focus of the image gets even smaller without the close-ups. Serious. If you like them either stay in Japan and pre-order, or get Animate and Gamers before everyone else in this world.

What, it's THIS small?? Really, if the special gifts are going to get smaller... So will my confidence to buy them. pic.twitter.com/ws1OjmkvFo

Other than that, it meets the basic (plain) requirements of a good release, and I'm not really complaining about it. For the Regular Edition I'm greeted with a photo collage of the cover as shown above, and I must say it's great. Just... very funny. Like, Tomacchan taking selfie with the others when obviously there's a third person taking the shot lol


That's it, I guess. I need to catch up on shows and stuff, so this one is going to take some time. I still have to conisder the fact that I still have schoolwork to do (GODDAMMIT) so I'm really not in the mood to do anything. Until now. I'm pulling myself up for now. Let's see how long this can last. Cya tomorrow for the Entertainment News, and the new month. I hear this is a common topic amongst celebrities. Well in Japan they refer to as "personalities", which I think sounds much cooler in retrospect.

If I could find satisfaction by bullying or arguing with other people on how ridiculous they are, I'll be a very happy person.

I need a utopia. This world is not for me. Or maybe it is but I just didn't try it yet. Yet.

The (APoL)tunity

Man, I'm feeling so bad right now, posting her instead of taking action... I feel so bad for not being the hero.

In short, I was in Mac ordering breakfast (now if you think I eat computers you've got yourself to blame) when there was this girl who was at the... what do you call that... utensils area? Yeah. The utensils area after ordering coffee, if I didn't hear wrongly. (Yeah, eavesdropping, whatever) Clearly she was looking for something, as the trays for sugar for the drinks are clearly empty. I've not been taking sugar for some time with my coffee (good for health BTW) and this don't require it anyways.

"Dammit, how awesome of a story would it be if I said I took sugar because of a girl?? lol" -Kaineng, 2015

Anyways, I knew I could help her out by just asking the counter even if I don't need any sugar (that's the heroic part, I guess), but I didn't. I stared at her in nonchalance and just went my way.

Now for the relation to the title. If I DO possess a deck of APoL cards... (Audience: There we go again...) I'll be able to give her some courage to ask the counter or to myself so I could be the hero or even let the counter notice she wants something and ask in initiative.

But of course, all it took is another handsome guy on the line to ask politely to the counter in enquiry of the missing sugar packs on the tray. Oh well. Moving on~

*drinks a large sip of coffee* Ugh, now this coffee with milk doesn't taste that sweet anymore...

Instead of bringing snacks to eat, we should cope stress by making ourselves starve so that we can get rid of the stress at work.

Well, just saw some office people having bags of snacks on the train. I hope they're preparing for some party and not restocking their own "cubicle pantry"...

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #43

Not that I forgot, I just don't want to. I mean, cut to the chase, yes? Besides, my hands are tired from playing GTA V today... (tehe)

アニメ
ANIME

Subete ga F ni Naru: Hmm there are boring things, like Shiki's sister really appeared, and they haven't even left the lab because of the system fault within the lab itself. Other than that, we're going to accept the fact that Shiki may very likely be dead hearing that her room is rather impenetrable (just like her, lol) from any angle, and that now her father is dead alongside her, which makes of even weirder content. If you want a hypothesis I'll follow Saikawa-sensei to say that the murderer may know the family well, knows the system well so likely can be (one of the) creators of the lab itself, and that the lab may have (hidden) offensive elements that can be hacked in order to achieve a killing without being noticed. So I may be wrong, but thinking is a great thing in murder shows. Hopefully we'll know if that genius of a b*tch is still alive (I bet you she will), and if she ever staged her own death just to... see the outside world. Man, she's a criminal, you know. This kind of action I'm not surprised.

漫画
MANGA

One Week Friends: I've been missing out a lot, and I vaguely remember anything, so I'll talk about the latest chapter instead. Yes there is finally plot development. As with what the boys found out about Kaori-chan that her case is more psychological than biological problem, they reveal probably the guy who got her into such fear, and it's Kujou's brother. Oh well if you say something like this and we don't see a sex scene we'll probably end up seeing a frightened girl. Anyways, the plot has thickened, and there aren't many chapters left to go to this short story, so we'll know. What really happened to Kaori-chan that day. Man it's all the bad guys' fault. *hmph*
Seitokai Yakuindomo: Wow when's the last time I read about this already? Anyways, plenty more sick jokes that I cannot remember as much was missed from the last time I found out people have been doing it, and we're not even close to the latest volume 12 of this story series. I'm preapred for another season of Anime though, don't get me wrong. Apparently it's still DVDs in the books that keep the show going, so that's good to know.
BLEACH: Okay, so what's Kyoraku's bankai all about again? Kids' games? Or illusions? Or risks? Or a suicide pact? Now I have no idea, but I do know something. Everyone is getting the chills. So am I. But this probably is a good time to know that this is that one time I don't even understand what Kubo is doing anymore. Well hope an explanation is on its way next week, or else. Or else I'll not understand this forever. But then, it should. The mystery should last so that no data collecting can happen on the opponent's side. Which is still possible considering there's a foretelling God up there lol

SHOWS
Have you heard? This section may never appear again. Well purely because MythBusters is ending with a last season due next year (*sob*), and I probably won't be reporting about the shows I'm watching on YouTube because they're just not worth reporting. And I'm lazy to do so, I guess.

This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm there isn't much I'm reviewing this week anyways, and I'm just listening all around and giving songs I should have given some time ago, but never mind that. Aqua Timez best albums surfaced this week and it's not a real good time to give it anyways. Besides, they failed to meet the Klassic Note requirement which I'm very strict on and the worst part is one of the two releases do fit the stats. Damn. Now what? Feels weird only having half the collection, man...

I tried to use the same method on YUI three years ago on Aqua Timez. ... It's not working. I need to give two MORE songs. That's a lot.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) October 24, 2015

In other news, sphere's new single probably is coming over next week so I can do a full review (I will), and as with many things that are going to happen I'm definitely going to spend some time to find new songs for next month. Even though I'm already happy with KANA-BOON and Scenarioart. Hooked already, seriously.


Well that's it, really. Four more weeks to seek the bell curve god (well if you're in uni you'll know) before all goes to hell, and I'm not even starting. Cya guys then, and I guess I may have less time for Klassic Note. Sorry for that, but then songs don't come my way, and I'm not that free, so... I'll see. Until next time, take care. Really, it may not seem important but, take care.

[P.S.: Remember I mentioned about cle- WOAH!

Yeah. Eye candy. Can understand if you're not looking at Mina-chan in the face anymore. But then she has something, I must say, and this is pretty much it too. Can't help but think she's trying to be as open as Tomacchan (if you still remember her photobook a few months ago), but then when she does I'll probably really nosebleed. Anyways, more her next week, and I have pretty much climaxed. From this week's images lol]

Not many people get the chance to get what they want to do just because they say they want to. So I'm going to do it.

Probably what is going through Satomi-chan's mind during the process of learning to sing whilst playing the guitar. It must be hard on her.

"I mean, if you love food you shouldn't be eating it all day."

Oh well, what do I know? BTW the previous statement I don't put in is "How can these people be this fat just by eating?" I don't know. Body absorption problems?

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #42

I guess... it's been a relaxing week for me. (And I dared to say that.) Fortunately, my granddad is here to remind me that if I really don't intend to do anything he'll keep me company. Spiritually. (Audience: So did he...?) (Yeah.) (OMG...)

Let's get done with it. I have enough time for the weekend and every night to deal with many stuff, especially even releases appearing later than usual anyway. And when I mean "usual" I mean Wednesday.

アニメ
ANIME

Sakurako-san: Hmm... well it's another case, and the main girl has been forced to help again, after another encounter from her nephew on a kid outside a convenience store. Simple as it sounds, it's also pretty obvious what has happened. Honestly, first time I understood and knew ahead of time well enough to solve the mystery. This also means this show may be less challenging of a mystery show to watch, which will likely be the reason for me to drop this show. On the other hand, we still have another episode, so I'll hold back for now. Honestly saying, things aren't difficult to find out, besides the medical terms they throw in about bones and injury, after that can guess one, for example that neither the kid nor the mother was a killer, and that trash all over the house would not smell because it's meant as a cover for the real killer to steal more stuff from the house, probably. Anyways, this may not be that interesting if the next story was this simple and short, and... honestly I don't like the theme songs. Oops.
Subete ga F ni Naru: So now we have a reality check for an episode, we can know and further assume many things. Magata-sensei her is a genius, but that doesn't make her an innocent person, or one without intentions. She may have attempted to break out of the lab as with many recollections of her wanting to leave the place. She may have also been very close to her uncle in order to avoid death by killing her parents. That said, we know the Director may be bringing "her sister" back who likely is her uncle, and these two guests would serve for good use to help solve this incident once and for all. I mean, if it's software problems means it's possible to break and resolve, isn't it? I'm glad this isn't like a god-like Anime, where Magata-sensei is like, totally unapproachable.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Well after so many chapters, now I feel Kubo is getting lazy in his executions of powerful stuff already. Even Kyoraku's Bankai feels so... so weak. But then again if this is any help to defeat in invulnerable target we shall see about it soon, I guess. Great that fights are moving on, but then again it may have been too long. Is this what Kubo-sensei talks about having the manga last another ten years after he finished with the Arrancars? Hmm... Still, looking forward to another Sternritter hitting the floor hard.

This Week on Klassic Note

I know I've been stuck with Earphone's 3rd single for a week, and I think I should give them. Comparing them with sphere's latest single and I think people in Lantis need some inspiration for their music. If anything I feel that some people in production are trying to be innovative with songs instead of creating better melodies. You know. That bridge thing again. Nonetheless, I'm giving sphere too, so they don't feel left out. Not prime in Klassic Note Review, not recommended by me, but it's still fulfilling requirements. So I'll do it. SPECIAL OTHERS new album came later than expected (after Wednesday) and overall? I miss the ones before 2012, really. Other than that, "neon" from 2013 when they were making me wonder about an album release because they are doing up a live in Bubokan and released a live CD which in three months I ended up buying it? Yeah. It's in the album two years later. After that, I liked a couple of them, so sure, I like them. Not like, when I can give most of them to be on my shelf. *laughs*

For new songs that are upcoming, I just heard Ikimonogakari's new song, and... I can see the meaning of the party crashing and chaos, but then I know I'll still like the song WITHOUT the PV (Yes I'm referring to you, director of this music video), so that's fine. Due to my decision of (very possibly) watching one of the latter Anime, I'll also be listening for the first time in Klassic Note, a split single. I've heard of that term before a year or two ago, with SECONDWALL (yep they're that one who will probably top the ranks this year with their song) but I never got to listen to it, and this time round it's due to the show that KANA-BOON (which we also know from start of the year) and Scenarioart (you bet I heard of their name) will come together with a single, each bringing three tracks. Pretty looking forward to this though, so I'll see about it. I think I can give them chance, if they let me to.

I also took a listen to cinema staff's new EP lead track, and I must say I'm disappointed. So... maybe not. I'm also interested in hearing of Ayahime's 2nd album announcement (I think I said this before) (oh well) because I had a good impression from the only song I gave from her last year, and you bet I want more. I'll see about it. This year can end well. We just need more songs. Argh...


That's it, I guess. All others I probably forget, as usual. The LINE accounts of sphere members are popping up with plenty of event information for their live events around the country, but then it doesn't concern me, I have no photos to experience the fun besides them cheering in their "posts" (as in えいえいお～！), and I'm still doubting that it's them who are posting (under duress) about their presence. *sigh* Twitter accounts, please, MusicRay'n. Oh well. Cya guys then, I'll end here. Until next time... I need to catch up with my school work or else I'll not understand what that lecturer is talking about tomorrow. Oops.

[P.S.: I thought I was disappointed over Ten-chan's photobook not appearing, but guess who I got!

This one, I thought didn't appear. But then there's boobs later next week, so that's pretty interesting already. *LMAO* What am I saying... Sorry Mina-chan, it's not my fault if you're trying to showcase yourself. *shrugs*

And honestly saying I rather be the photographer. Kudos to the guy who has all the photos. *goddammit*]
[P.P.S.: Something rather unrelated, but as you all know I own a Google Nexus phone. Specifically Nexus 5, which will probably fade out of existence next year. Oh well, but I got a test of the new version of the Android OS, which is of course by the desert name of  Marshmallow. Overall aesthetics improved enough to look like iOS now, but it also has its set of problems and worries. Phone disappeared from the lock screen, system UI settings aren't perfect, and the battery modes introduced aren't really what they mentioned about, as in effectiveness. I went through one night without touching my phone and it dropped 10%, serious. Oh well. I hope they fix things up soon, but just by the looks and the fact it doesn't look as boring (yeah fancy me saying that) as iOS, I'm fine.]

As much as I want to love to hate it, I'm inclined to hate to love it.

Just playing with words. Tired to wake up early in the morning you know. Besides, dreaming of a plot for Kuroshitsuji in the middle of the night must be something. Will you pay me for ideas, Yana-chan sensei? lol

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #41

Hello to all. I have come with a lighter heart. Well, purely because I'm supposedly having school at home. Stupid e-learning weeks. Do we still need those right now? Anyways, I'll be free, very free, and I know I won't watch on all the lessons, so I have more time for entertainment. Or a shopping spree, whichever is more convenient. *laughs* Let's start.

アニメ
ANIME

Subete ga F ni Naru: Contrary to what many sites portray as plain in the first episode of this new show, this is actually a setup for what is to come. We know of a professional, who apparently has this side of a kick (than sidekick) who is a rich girl with connections, and knows of a genius programmer of which is probably the reason that professional hired her (sorry don't remember names for now so this will have to do). Depsite the many minor characters popping up, we can clearly see that for now, the background of the genius and the mystery of her potentially killing her parents (I question motives, but take integrity as priority until it fails) (see I'm thinking like a genius too) are of interest and the guys are going to that island in which she resides to find out. Funny the episode ends with a watch timing, but that piques interest. Does that show a time needed to access the facility? Or a specified time of communication? (I'm thinking realistic stuff here, not magic portals) We'll get to know.

I'm interested in this show, so I'll watch with the three episode rule. But for now, I must say I like the theme songs, so I think this will be here to stay.

Sakurako-san: I think the title is too long, but knowing her name is enough to get more information about this new show. She is a person who knows a lot about bones, so much as to be her profession. Her time is spent with his fiance's niece, who apparently is the main guy also a high school student which this show tries to create the impression that he has a vibrant school life. I may be wrong, but hey, I can watch a couple of episodes before making a decision. Honestly saying, this show will not catch my attention if it continues to make elaborate plot (dialogues aren't fluid probably in Sakurako-san's accent, and narratives are aplenty), then besides the introduction to this show I guess this may not be worth watching. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and still watch it, but if it focuses less on storyline but more on the idea about bones and such meaning they miss that opportunity to create a high school story... Very likely I'll still drop this. I shall see about it for myself. Mysteries must be mysterious in nature, you know.

MANGA

BLEACH: As much as reasonable of a chapter in this story goes, looks like Kyoraku picked a Sternritter close to god powers to fight with again, the other being that one who fought with Mayuri. Then again, he's fine by himself (and I thought Kubo won't resort to showing us stuff even Soifon can go without releasing her zanpakuto) (lol illusions), but then now that that Final Form is out for someone close in power to the leader himself, we may be in for some good fights. Then again, it feels familiar, but instead of a buttload of eyes it's a whole bunch of snipers. Oh well. We'll see how this goes.

音楽
This Week on Klassic Note

I finally took into my hands to review a couple of Anime soundtrack of shows I don't recall of them due to the music behind it (Punch Line, Plastic Memories), but anyways I've done it, so that's into Klassic Note considerations as usual. Nothing much released this week, but plenty of stuff released next week, so that's good news. This week I finally gave two (new) songs from nano.RIPE's singles collection before I found out that:

I just noticed I gave the only two new songs from nano.RIPE's Singles Collection. And here I thought I listened to a list of old songs.

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) October 7, 2015

Also another from cozy diary's debut album, and that song I never got to listen to from Tainaka Sachi 's latest album, and apparently after a week or two after a month of chasing on her YouTube channel in hopes of her releasing that last topic song I didn't get to hear for some reason, and she released it, two months ago with respect to today. Nice soothing song, I must say, and I bet if I heard this song back then I'll definitely be giving that song to her anyway. Have a listen, if you can take the calmness in this love song.

Next week features artists like SPECIAL OTHERS and sphere and some I don't remember because I'm lazy to take note of stuff recently. With respect to the new shows I'm watching above, I'm likely sure to listen to another KANA-BOON release (which brings them officially into the family) (on Twitter) (I follow people after I listen to three of their releases) (past inactive ones not included) and Scenarioart, both from "Subete ga F ni Naru". Sure, I'm open to more new songs, even Ayahi-chan is releasing her 2nd full album on November, so for once I shall take a listen to give her more chance ever since that time last year.


For now, I don't care. I'm planning hard on what I should do over the next week so I don't waste time, and ending next week is ANOTHER TEST ON A SATURDAY (which includes yesterday), so I'll have to pluck out my hair to try to get a question of two correct? *sighs* Bye. Hope you're having a good life. (Audience: Are you rather distracted?) Yeah. As much as it is bad for her, I still cannot forget that ideally cute face (in my 100% opinion) from Mikakoshi where she lips a (sweet) wet tissue... *faints*

[P.S.: Not much again this week, as Tomacchan takes the helm. Kana-chan ending the weekend (or possibly many days after) is also a good thing.

Problem is Ten-chan's photobook is still nowhere to be seen online. So... Kana-chan may stay for the time being. Or if I go crazy then the recent grabs of Rumi-chan and Hidaka Rina-chan's photos will stay on my phone. Hmm, we shall see...]

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #40

How come I feel that the Entertainment News post is getting as less as the number of shows I'm watching next season as well as the number of jobs Futaba will receive? LOL Anyways, this week concludes all of the Anime I have in this seasonal change, so I can move on to watch less shows. Oh well, let's move on.

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: Last episode, and what a way to wrap up. Company auditions. Really, if Futaba fails she can always go find another company, like what her friends are doing. I mean, really, but then this episode focuses on the future, as with many shows, and this one isn't an exception. I mean, they being so critical about this and emphasising this even though they're giving Futaba a cheap excuse for her future and leaving her on hold for another year? Seriously, if the industry is like that I rather not work. (Well who am I to say this, right? I'll have a taste of real work myself very soon anyways) Nice way to create a (sort of) happy ending, and yes I did enjoy this show. More tears and less joy though, this show maybe too much for the weak-willed.

With regards to Anime for next season, and if you love to go to Random Curiosity to read their previews, you would've noticed that... it's like, 80% sequels. Which means I'm left with one-fifth of the shows to choose, many of which obviously like the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Seriously, people? Anyways, got a feeling I'll end up with at most two shows (it's not the peak time of the year anyway) which includes noitamina's "Subete ga F ni Naru" and that girl who can see plenty of things through dead bones, both of them are mystery-based shows, which means people are not psyched and I don't have to stare at spaceships or large robots or weird hair colour or stuff I cannot understand because I start from a second or even third season. Oh well, I mean, I'll see about it. The noitamina show is probably down my alley already (as normal as it sounds) and the other will be on hold for now.

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: An interesting take for this chapter. Nanao is instructed to leave to inform the others instead of leave to not fight, but that is good for this squad still has a long way to go. Besides that, the fight is surrounding again on Kyouraku's zanpakuto. With respect to us understanding the game play element in the zanpakuto's abilities, we now also know because of such child play attitude that makes the user of the zanpakuto able to start or end the game at will, thus making this implementation very flexible, and with plenty of things up Kyoraku's big sleeves (literally), the opponent may be onto a long fight. But then, if he can be smart enough, we all know the only way to stop playful kids is to punish them. Heavily. How to? Without a gun? Or heavy sniper? We shall see for ourselves for that, I guess.

This Week on Klassic Note

This week, of course is the release of Tomacchan's new single, and honestly saying I didn't make a wrong choice of pre-ordering this release, after like, two years of not ordering her releases, and never pre-ordering her stuff because she is used to sing Anime theme songs that I don't watch. LOL Anyways, glad that came by, and of course you can go take a look at the review I did a couple of days ago by using the menu above to go to "The Klassic Note" tab, and you'll see it up front. Other than that I also did Mina-chan's new single review too. Earphone's 3rd single is still not in view, and I'm not taking a new song from the revived group Aice5 re-debut single.

Talking about new songs, I'm still stuck reviewing nano.RIPE's single collection  (better than not listening; Aqua Timez best album is not even in sight for like, 2 months?) so that'll have to wait. I'll probably give another new song this week for cozy diary's debut album, and I'm looking forward to SPECIAL OTHER's new album next week. sphere's new single comes the week after, and from the previews thus far I think I can give the single, which is good news, although you should know I will see about it upon listening to it in full instead of pre-ordering it, so... you know.

Further projection into the future sees more new songs come by, provided I watch the two Anime I chose for myself next season. For that noitamina show I intend to watch, I'll be exposed to (once again) KANA-BOON with their alternate rock style which I don't prefer (so I don't know, this will either make or break my impression of them, though I already did hearing their 2nd album early this year and ditched it) and Scenarioart, which I have heard sounds pretty good. Now if they could impress me with a couple of good songs maybe there's a chance. Maybe.


But then again, it all depends on my mood. Despite this being all, there is a lot going through me. There isn't much entertainment ahead of me (no new manga, shows, anime...), I'm rejecting new songs more often than ever with the decrease in new songs coming into my list, and I'm not done with schoolwork yet. Apparently the break was great, but my assignments are not. So that's bad news for me, and not so much for you. I better get back to it then. Cya guys very soon, and until then... move on with life. It's a good thing. I'm too blinded by without a belief in life that I rather not be in life, if you know what I mean.
[P.S.: This week only two exist in my mind (though Tomacchan can stay too). These two.

You know if there isn't Mina-chan's special gift photo from her new single Rumi-chan is so going to make me do lesser work. Besides, her photobook is nowhere to be seen so that is good news for myself. These are good enough. *laughs* *pant* Next week brings Tomacchan (you know) and Kana-chan, apparently.]
[P.P.S.: On October 1st, sphere members under their own MusicRay'n label, ie. Aki-chan, Mina-chan and Tomacchan have opened official LINE accounts. Being a noob in this and all, I decided to give myself a "trial period" to see if this service will get me timely reports or any other insight to their lives or anything. Apparently not, till now. It's been four days and it's nothing besides first day greetings. Ayahi-chan is taking joy in typing in keywords hoping the auto-reply system will give back something interesting (eg. Aki-chan is famous for if you say "Tadaima" and she'll say "Okaeri", from her radio show), but I'm not. The fact that people can take pride in social media to the extent that they can type anything in the lesser of hopes that the celebrity will see it compared to if they opened a Twitter or Facebook (staff) account, makes me worry about the future in social networking.

...

Okay, maybe I talked too much. I'll try this a week or two more until sphere's new single release and see what happens. I'm not dedicated to this if all they do is permanent one-sided announcements. I just see no meaning in it. #TwitterFTW #somedayMusicRaynwillrealise]

"Everyone else is a cult until they take over."

This is from my post on Facebook discussing that Apple is becoming or is in existence a cult. Clearly enviousness plays part of this equation or even in favour of reasons of research outcome, but then who cares? It's the substance that is important. That's what makes us unique.

I may not be in pursuit of idolisation, but I'm definitely in pursuit of beautiful people.

Yeah, that may sound rather embarrassing, but that's probably my feelings towards the celebrities and artists I like. *hehe*

The Klassic Note Review 2015.10 Issue 1

Eh... Finally it's here, Tomacchan's new single, and I can't wait to review it. I mean, when's the last time again? *looks at list* Two years ago? Oops. Surprisingly this is the first time I got something other than the CD that I ordered, so let's get started with it. *giggles*

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Tomatsu Haruka - STEP A GO! GO! [Single]

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(That leg... shouldn't be too much of concern. Nonetheless you know I will be bothered because I don't take no Limited Edition cover.)

Origin: I ought to talk about it because Tomatsu Haruka-chan (or Tomacchan for me), who has been a long running artist within Klassic Note, has not gotten a pre-order release on my shelf yet. This is also the second time I got the release within one day of release (the first is from two years ago I think), and she doesn't disappoint. Making the right choice may be hard, but with this single it's easy. A lively song coupled by an emotional song, both well done by the female voice actor famous for many roles and character songs on her part, is a member of sphere, and also in my 'idolism' list. So let's go on to talk about what is good about this release.

(1) STEP A GO! GO!
Produced by the familiar people who do up sphere's songs too, this upbeat lively, and cheerful song (which explains the origin of the title) will be sure to motivate many to take a step forward with their lives. Though it suffers from the usual bridge part of the song mistake (right before last chorus), it's minimal and supposedly reasonable. The music video is also of a cheerful atmosphere, with her cheering on and also being a basketball player herself. Nice song to listen to considering how much of a personality Tomacchan herself is in it, and a lively and happy her always make of a good song overall.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) Itoshii Hikari [Beloved Light]
This one created quite an impression when I first heard the preview, and it did not disappoint. Still keeping the best parts of the song and bringing in relevance to the lyrics chorus after chorus, this must be similar to the B-side I heard from her last year's single "courage" (which I did not hear the A-side), and it's an emotional and touching love song. With her singing tested to greater heights (note the pitch in the chorus), this song still displays her wonderful execution in such songs, which I assure most would love. The downside here would probably be instrumentals, where in the middle the music don't sound so relevant, even though making it sound abnormal isn't easy in most cases. Apart from this, I say this one is one good song. Of course, without considering her album or other songs of hers.
Rating: 4 stars (Slightly Above Average)

Conclusion: Overall a rather good single, and don't ask me to compare it with Mina-chan's new single which I recently reviewed, because they have different plus points. Separating from the fact that I like her singing and her in particular, this single is totally worth a listen to the nature of easy-listening melodies in this release. Other than that, she deserves more than a chance, and if you don't like it you may be even more critical than me.

THE PACKAGE
What should I say? Really. What should I say? Her leg? Or the fact that she's all over the jacket and the booklet?

See? Even she is excited about herself! Review by tonight. pic.twitter.com/0BvPraiYim

— Kaineng (@KlassicNote) October 1, 2015

More than that, and what is inside, for the first time in two years ever since I knew of the fact of online pre-ordering from Japan, is her first special photo gift. This one of course isn't the first choice, because this one is from HMV, and I swear Animate and Gamers are much better choices, with the former deserving to be my personal favourite. Nonetheless, one shouldn't complain (Animate is always as difficult since I actually wait for the preview photos to appear online) (and that takes time) about what gifts are received, and I'm grateful that for once, I can give a release from Tomacchan again with the premise of a pre-order, because it's always too late by the time I want to give it anyway. Or that it doesn't satisfy Klassic Note's strict requirements. (Basically that means me) Tomacchan, pleased to have your photo, and I hope to get more from you. Your photos. *laughs*

That's it, I guess. LINE accounts for sphere's girls are open from today, which means I have opened an account just to follow them and see if there's any insider stuff I can get from it. Because if it's no different unless you're in the fan club, then I'm better off leeching off their RSS feeds form their official (music) websites. Anyways, I'm done with this, and (I haven't seen the full music video for this yet, but) I've got things to do because it's a term break (it's never a break), so I'll see you during the weekend for Entertainment News. See ya!

[P.S.: Because I don't know where to put this comparison... HMV (left) versus Animate (right).

I know. Closer-ups are better. Too close can never be an excuse. Even Anime characters are not complaining. LOL]

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #39

Hey it's the term break! Long awaited, but man I need a break. But don't worry; things are slowly moving even though I'm sleeping more than I should. No really, I'll get a chapter of APoL going. Eventually. *laughs*

Sore ga Seiyuu!: This must be their best episode yet. Following Ichigo-chan's injury, and after a long time talking with Hocchan (yeah Alice5 is like, out for about 8 years and she can say she's in a group) made Futaba realise that she really treasures the group. Of course, as a professional. And that makes sense, from a industry perspective. I can recall just weeks ago where sphere (the only idol group I'm into at the moment) has a live niconico broadcast promoting their latest single (yes the July one) and Tomacchan is absent. So yeah, for the good of the group, it's better of if you get rid of them. LOL Anyways, I must say this is good, I thought we never get to hear a new song again (this one is good, I must say), and if you did notice Ichigo's father is present. It's very obvious, if you ask me, and even if I haven't really seem him before. Last episode is next week, and this is going to be great. This show definitely helps to give us a quirky twist of reality in a part of the entertainment industry in Japan. Really, producers don't go crazy if you tell them you broke a leg; they'll be smarter than Futaba to tweak the event to work in the artists' favour anyway.
WORKING!!!: Hmm a conclusion? Probably not yet. An extra episode? Hell yes! Anyways, Inami's father approved of their relationship (you know who I'm talking about), but apparently Takanashi's mother... not so much. What a prick, the author. Is this a conclusion we're supposed to know from the manga? I don't think so. But then again who cares? This season has been done so well everyone has a part to their own ending, as Popura becomes the next main chief of the restaurant. But then again, memories are great, I wonder how the photo came out to be (I guess we'll never know), Yamada's impersonations of things she shouldn't know are very nostalgic and intrusive (talk about being the paparazzi), and I like how Otoo's wife is lost again. This also means this show will stay as it is (for now) for now? I don't know. Maybe the extra episode will explain to us everything that is supposed to end this show once and for all. I'm not pleased. That they said this is concluding the story in the manga- Wait. Did they? Oops. Oh well.

Eh? The next season of Anime is here already? But I haven't decided anything yet~
Anyways, there isn't much to decide, because like 80% of them are sequels that I NEVER watch. I did mention I'm going to take a watch on shows in the noitamina time slot, so yah. That show. That weird show. I'll see about it. After I give a chance on its TV premier two weeks from now.

MANGA

BLEACH: First thing, how does Mayuri have such a big contingency plan? Oh well I guess Kenpachi and Mayuri will be out of work for a while, but then he revived the 10th squad, so that is good news. Don't think it'll help much though, as the enemies still do not appear to be seen. Kyoraku is currently prepared to fight now, as the reverse ambush caught the sniper and lost his barrel. (yeah, like 'gun barrel') We're definitely going to see more action now that this happens, because it's probably his first full fight with an opponent. With lesser enemies to counter this will be getting closer to the ending... yes?

This Week on Klassic Note

Ok this week I had quite a couple of releases to talk about. Younha's new album is in, and yes it's more Japanese songs than Korean covers. Despite that, it's not very good, as listening to them doesn't give me any impressions. In that case, it might be a problem as she may not get in the list this year. Oh well. Next time then, Younha-san. Also, nano.RIPE's singles best collection is out, and I think I want to give a couple of songs, I think. Meanwhile, I'm still taking a listen to their rather plain and standard rock style, which brings me to think if my impressions of their songs are already limited in this case. Of course I didn't forget that I finally got hold of cozy diary's first full album. It was a nice listen, and I think this one I can give more, though I was aiming for giving the whole album. The songs are stepped up to a new level as usual of a major album production, but then the songs themselves already sound good. So sure, I'll give a couple from here. Then again I noticed some of their demo songs are not in the list, which means I will have to give them off the major review. Which I will, since I did before with Uchuu Club, if you ever remember who they are.

Next week finally brings in Tomacchan's new single, and also Earphone's new single, as heard from this week episode's live performance. Both I'll give a listen, especially when I've already pre-ordered one of them, hehe.


That's it. I'm tired. Not as tired as I have to listen to Yoru no Honki Dance, but still. Cya guys next week then, I'm going to enjoy a week of break for the time being. Until next time... take care of yourselves, as usual. Especially important if you stay where I'm at. The haze is killing me.

[P.S.: More Tomacchan and Mina-chan it seems, as I cannot get over their images yet. Don't worry, I won't. *smiles*

Tokuten photos schedule for next week though. So yeah, you're not going to see the real images because I like to keep it to myself. *laughs heartily*]

The Klassic Note Review 2015.09 Issue 1

And possibly the only issue. Next month then we'll see Tomacchan's new single.

If "Goddammit" and "Finally" are the first words I say when I waited for the whole day, you aren't wrong. But then again it's my fault for delaying my purchase (if not I could've gotten it from where I want), so I can't blame anyone for that. Besides, this single is controversial, as I land myself into idolism again.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Kotobuki Minako - Candy Color Pop [Single]

Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(I know, very "pop" in effects. And no close-ups again as usual, unless you're rich enough to get the Limited Edition. But then, I like the bird(s) in the album art.)

Origin: If you're familiar with Klassic Note, you should know Mina-chan comes in a long line of idol music artists, which I myself refer to as "idolism" reviews, and where focus is placed upon giving the person more than giving the songs. In this case, Mina-chan has a unique and a nice voice. From her second album last year we've had a fair share of plenty of dance pop songs along with her classic "Kotobuki Rock" styles, the former is trying to convince me to like it as well as appreciate it, and so we're here. This time places the dance pop song in the front again, and should be her 3rd (from 'Prism' to 'pretty fever'), and this one turns my expectations around. I'll talk more about it below.

(1) Candy Color Pop
Kudos to whoever is the person who thought of the song title, but then again (I know it's the lyricist, and) the composers themselves come back from doing the B-side of her previous single to this. I know I've been too kind to keep giving them chance, but a simple and short song I cannot miss. Why the initial bad impression? I can explain to you guys when I heard the instrumental version as I was reviewing the single: It's just beats until the chorus. You tell me how repetitive the beats are again. Then again, this song is given due to Mina-chan, a simple melody, and very creative (though not meaningful enough) lyrics. But then again, I saw the music video already, so who cares? *laughs*
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) Time Capsule
This one was  more of a catch when I first heard it, and decided and prepared to only give this song, but then when I heard the full song it wasn't impressive (the usual extended "bridge" mistake), and actually at one point in time decided to flip things around, by giving the A-side only instead. But no, I think this song is good, lyrics well done by the exact same person who did the previous song above (what a coincidence, huh), and I like the mood of the song. If you understand the lyrics then that is an added plus point.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

Conclusion: Since I categorise her as someone I give total bias to like some others, she falls under the conclusion of "I like her and I like the songs she sings in it". But then again, the songs aren't bad, and the initial intention of production is obviously to entice many with a dance pop song, so I guess my review will be justified. Just go take a listen, and if you don't like it you don't like her. Simple. Then again, she sings nice songs, so I like to give her a chance. I wonder when I'll stop though. I thought I will, but then...

Well if you came here because of this Tweet, then you're at the right place. If you skipped everything to see if I'll repost this Tweet, then I suggest you go read the review first, and take a listen to Mina-chan's voice too.

Then again, I'm also for the special photo gift anyways, and the selection process is limited because I gave the order only after I heard the full single, which means places like Animate and Gamers (which have the best photos yet again) (and that the latter is my best choice) will always be empty. Sony Music Japan was good, but then I ended up with Tower Records this time as I noticed, every single time I got her smiling, so this one does not. And then the perfectionist me also (now then) considered the cropped image size and how it fits on my phone (and just now also thought of how the logo will affect the crop too), and still didn't change my decision. Somehow regretting it already actually, but as always I like. The free gift. So I won't complain. I'm going to collect them all. Too bad I noticed that I can do so like, a year and a half ago. *sob*

Mina-chan over the singles. I mean, I really like her smile. :)

That's all, I guess. Cya guys next week, where I get my hands on Tomacchan's single, even though I ordered both of them (singles) (releases) (CDs, I mean) at the same day. Oh well, Tomacchan's new single only releases next week, but then hopefully I'll get it by the weekend. So don't go too far away, because I might just post another review quite soon.

[P.S.: I recently read about a post in the Internet from a guy who went to her release event, and it was quite interesting. Trivia played a big part of the 2-hour event, and questions include how many birds there are in the regular edition album art cover to which alphabet does her song titles come out most frequently. Yeah, weird, and I will have failed as a fan, but then whoever knows it got some poster of some sort, so that's a way to treat an ultimate fan, I guess. I don't even know she doesn't like watermelons. How, Mina-chan? What about watermelon-cracking in summer? She'll miss out on so much.]

Being mature is apparently not caring about everything but complaining all about it.

This lecturer? Very mature. Unfortunately, me too. lol

Really, there is a difference between leaving the house and leaving the house for yourself.

I don't do the latter. Which is disappointing. It'll probably happen, when I start to like myself.

ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: Another episode of nothing but voice acting, well almost. Futaba was down from work, and not as bad as this episode's guest Shiraishi Ryouko described. Their first live concert is near, and it's still pretty empty and now Ichigo-chan has sprained her ankle. Oh well. Looks like they're going to end this season with a live performance. Hopefully there'll be enough people to fill up the place. Will Ichigo-chan be able to recover from her injury? We don't know. It'll be interesting to see how they end this show. (Funny that not all the stuff from the manga is mentioned in this show, but oh well what the heck)
Ranpo Kitan: Yes we're at the last episode, and seriously, it's worth thinking. Of course not many would watch this, or we'll have plenty of sympathisers all around the Twenty Faces criminal, but then again doing evil in the name of justice against societal norm is not an everyday topic in Anime. Nonetheless, I think this is worth thinking about, and you bet I've been thinking about it. Supposedly it's known that both Kobayashi and Namikoshi can be saved, but then the latter doesn't have much of a will to live, so yeah, the continuation of whatever formula he's talking about as a creator will still live on. Fact is, and if you don't feel like one of them because you lead a good life or something that you can be happy in, than let me tell you: It's not real. Doing up something like that as a formula is very impractical (if you Google the word "Laplace" you'll know what I mean) in society, and the worst case scenario is as of the terrorist situation of today, that you will be stopped and most of us will not give a damn about it. Besides, it's your goddamn life. If you want to throw it away instead of thinking how to break through that which you don't like, don't call yourself weak and force it upon the people who have harmed you. Period. I better stop here. Any more and my mask will slip, lol. Anyways, nice show, and didn't regret picking it up halfway through the show. Takahashi Rie too, thanks to you this was a nice show to pick up. *Kobayashi voice* Yeah!
WORKING!!!: Wow, that's plenty of development to absorb for this episode. In the latest episode, we see a final conclusion to start on Takanashi's feelings on Inami-chan (the mother's reaction at the end really is freaking me out), and the biggest thing that is going to happen in the restaurant, which is Yachiyo stopping her work in Wagnaria. Hmm... I won't say that is bad, but then now that Popura-chan is joining in the fun with her own problem, can't wait to see how they're going to conclude this one. I may not have read the manga, but if this is what the story shall end with it might just be the most interesting thing I'm expecting ever since I watched this like, 5 years ago. Man, next week has to come. We need another Episode 3 very badly right now. *laughs* (BTW Yamada-kun is a dick, seriously)

漫画
MANGA

Kuroshitsuji: I'll thank that kind guy for translating this chapter of manga (I'm at 107 here) (and no, I don't read Chinese translations), and it's great. We manage to see a big misunderstanding amongst the kids (really romance in this story doesn't stack up), finally that Green Witch we know of is out of her hell, but into another, where Sebastian apparently is indirectly raping them. What's with the mouth cuffs anyway? Oops. (no I don't watch porn) Anyways, this is a great chapter, and can't wait to see what happens at her audience to the Queen. But damn, I hope someone translate this regularly.
BLEACH: Well most of the stuff is expected this chapter. Nemu has to die and the bad guy is definitely and surely going to accompany her death somehow. Somehow didn't notice Kubo likes to pick on the good guy again, and this time it's Szayel's soul (because really, he's dead and stopped in time and who knows if he's gotten out of it yet or not) that is mocking him. Nonetheless, loss of a long-term attachment is undeniably sad even if for a mad scientist, but as he seizes his next victory hopefully he can find some real person to be his assistant in the future. Or not. Whatever. He's a jerk anyway.

This Week on Klassic Note

Yeah, you remember from last week? I was talking about Kalafina and VELTPUNCH. And yeah, those I chose ended up in the list eventually. Not to say they are 5-stars, but then again I've not given 5-stars since February. Also on the list is Mina-chan's new single, and yes again it's going to be my shelf next week, probably, if I time it right. Along with that is another release pending two weeks from now, Tomacchan's new single, and from the recent PV preview it looks great, I must say. I'll elaborate more on how pissed I am at missing special gifts yet again (I'll bitch about it in the review instead) when the stuff arrives, but you'll probably have to wait till next month to get it done. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for cozy diary's first full album (and knowing of the fact that they are also under famous people years ago), and probably I'll get a few more songs next week by going another round of song-searching. At this rate... I think it's okay. Surprising to be seeing total number of songs drop this year round. Probably. We'll see.


That's it I guess. I'm probably going to have a conversation with her tonight (oohh), which will just undermine me as a human even further, seeing her grow up like that. Anyways, I'll see you guys next week, as we have more Anime to conclude (and start for next season), as my entertainment life continues to get better. Cya.
[P.S.: (Audience: You look happy.) You can say so... *hehe* I wasn't yesterday though. Freaking weekend quiz.]
[P.P.S.: Yeah I bet some are almost disappointed in the first postscript. lol But here it is. The images.

The Mina-chan one wins this round, I must say. But not over the shower scene. That one makes Tomacchan on the same level as a gravure model, so that no one can top it, as far as I know. lol]

Wait, do I have to censor that one? (Audience: I guess not...) But this one family-friendly site sia... (Audience: Yeah your pervertic thoughts are safe rating...)

The Entertainment News 2015 Edition Week #37

...

What? I'm supposed to put something here?

I guess it's instinct that I fill up the Klassic Note section before I realise I didn't fill this up, huh, (Audience whispering) Oh no, I did remember to fill up the ballot paper, don't you worry. Wait, what?

アニメ
ANIME

Sore ga Seiyuu!: You know, I can take cheezy drama. This time about Rin-chan and her best friend. And more than best friends, Sayo-chan is her number 1 fan. Funny they talk about the motivations behind being a voice actor, but then Kouno Marina (the voice actor of Rin-chan) doesn't have that much acting in her (lolol), but then still is loved by the industry. I guess this just shows they really just want age to define the role of what Anime characters are in, isn't it? Guest this week is Kamiya-san again, and this time (I wonder if it is) he who sees Rin-chan without the confidence to do her work, also shares his experience in the field. True Rin-chan is matured at her age to undertake such a job, but yeah, she has no life, she wants to be normal, but then as you all know (and you should) we're already born unique, so not being normal is just primal instinct already. Rin-chan is already living a life, so she should follow on to it. Her circumstances are rare, and so is a friend who supports her all the way, be her shield since young, and eats parfait with her every year. It may be farewell, but believe me they'll meet much lesser. I mean, much much lesser. *laughs*
Ranpo Kitan: Well apparently another episode of recap, but then it's not a recap. It's more like, understanding the original story from the bad guy's perspective. (okay I say "bad guy" with respect to the story, alright?) Okay fundamentally his own ideals and his life had two fatal errors which I think would end him up getting a Nobel Prize instead of being a rumoured killer in this story. (1) He can get out of his life, Namikoshi himself. Clearly because he's in such a life that leaving that kind of life for survival will be instinct, especially if he cannot live with it. I mean, he only has that part of a life to be happy for, why not get out of the majority of the bullying? (2) His formula now has a known fatal flaw (from the perspective of the audience of this show, of course), which will result in the death of the creator of the formula. Simply speaking, without the formula or not, if one continues to do bad things, he will get caught and killed for his own actions. That is crime. Or karma. Not some stupid formula. Thanks again, production, for adapting another wonderful mystery show. I've seen it all, so yeah, nice try. *laughs*
WORKING!!!: Yes, if you guys wanted development, there it is. This episode they talk a lot more about Satou x Yachiyo, and we finally get a result. Satou has gastric problems. And of course Kyouko is going to be lonely after this. Anyways, the ban for relationships in the restaurant has been lifted, which leads Takanashi to face his feelings towards Inami-chan. Posing as Kotori-chan may not be the best idea (though doing it is going to make many scream), but this may solve the significant problem from Inami-chan's side, than for both of them. Because if Inami-chan can realise she likes Takanashi despite her fear in guys, then it's just up to the guy to face his own feelings and settle this relationship once and for all. (BTW Satou x Yachiyo is probably going to be the most exciting thing already, so three cheers for that xD)

漫画
MANGA

BLEACH: Well Nemu, after all this, you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have keep Mayuri's hopes so high by surviving more than 2 days. You shouldn't noticed that he takes are of you as a creation as he would as family and that he has that side for you and thus is protecting you. You shouldn't have sacrificed yourself, knowing that the best way to not repay him is to get rid of yourself, his creation.

Oh, that one's next chapter? I'm sorry; got too into it already. Anyways, pity Mayuri's masterpiece is going to go into pieces pretty soon if this goes on, but then it's nice to see that Nemu has something up her sleeve. Though it's not a zanpakuto or anything... (BTW nice chapter, and I didn't know he modified his zanpakuto to get his Bankai. Everything after that, I know. *laughs menacingly*)

This Week on Klassic Note

Well, not much this week again, I guess. That said, there's SCANDAL's new single, in which for this time I decided not to give the B-side, so yeah, no deliveries coming my way this time. I also went to listen to a couple of songs from recent live broadcasts (of course, you know from where), and really cannot stop dancing to another Yoru no Honki Dance song, and yeah, I took it from their first album which is like, from last year. Primary's best album came by and I decided to give a listen this time, but apparently I'm more hooked to their early songs, with Fix (from Klassic Note 2009) and now from her first single which is like, ten years ago. That said, I did give a listen to have an idea how her songs evolved, and also got a hold to listen to her latest songs from this year, and... not much, yeah.

Other more recent releases that I will hold on to give my opinion on include VELTPUNCH's revival single which I just gotten my hands on since two months ago, and I... don't know how to give another song. They felt so... different from what I know of them. Well, I guess this will happen when you don't release new songs for three years. (I really want to hear the lazy style of rock I loved from them from back then... *sob* We shall see) Also just listened to Kalafina's new album, and I'm not very impressed. Not only did I not pick up on their single topic tracks, I'm still feeling a sense of familiarity with their current list of songs. Kajiura Yuki-sensei, if you're running out of ideas... It must be tough for you. Anyways, I'll probably update this soon, hopefully by next week.

Next week brings up the pretty controversial Mina-chan's new single which I don't know I still want to give or not yet, but then I'll be open again and give her chance. The dance pop genre isn't my thing, you know. But then again if you seen the pictures from her official website you can't say no. To the previews, not the balloons. Or her slightly revealing her front. *laughs*


I guess this is it, then. If I remembered anything I suppose I'll remember now again. Anyways, I'm (f**kin' so) tired now, and there's assignments to finish by the next week (that's how tired I am), so I'm rather stressed out for now. Cya guys then, and until next time... take care. No one can take care of you if you can't take care of yourselves, seriously.

[P.S.: Prepared for more *blabbering* underwear? Because I know you are. *giggles*

Man, how long can I go on like this? Thankfully there's Fumika-chan to hold me together so I don't go-]
[P.P.S.: Yeah Mina-chan's official website has been updated with more images, if you did read the Klassic Note section. That'll probably come next week. You bet I cannot resist the balloons. *laughs*]
