OMG I HAVE BAD NEWS. FOR MYSELF. MY PHONE IS WIPED. I don't know how, but it is wiped. Like, someone literally pressed delete on my internal storage folder. (FYI using Android, stock Android) Good thing new software saved most of my app data, but my media is gone. More later if I have the mood to type after I factory reset this sh*t.
And man am I glad that I followed my advice last week and reviewed after I watched or read something this week. And thus, my workload is lightened. Let's get to it, shall we?
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: Well more truths are revealed as we continue this recollection/reboot of some sorts, and we finally know of the third Uber-fied person who escaped the lab. And apparently there is certainty in the ending (that an asteroid will hit) and what is done within the time left is actually to ascertain this reality?? No wonder that cat told him not to change history. You don't even have to; it's going to happen anyway. Wow. Now a miracle needs to happen to Yuuta already, seriously. Assassination Classroom: Well didn't know the bad guy got owned this easily, as we move on to see (I saw the spoiler from its official Twitter account) a Nagisa dressed as female. Seriously, and that attracted one of the rich guy's boys, don't ask me why. With that these two parts out of the way, the guys have some guns (which could be of some use definitely) and hopefully plenty more poison and stun guns as backup. Seriously, and you though this was all about knifes and fake guns only. Plastic Memories: If you think till now this show is some romance comedy... you may not be wrong. But I can guarantee after this it's the finale, and (hopefully) it'll be more serious than this. Man, emotional episode, testing how much Isla has locked herself up in emotions, and really everyone in the office is so into it. Now if you tell me to work in another department of Terminal Service I will quit. Seriously. And it's not because Isla (not loli) or Michiru (not S/M) or Kazuki (not into older women) or that other girl (???) is there.
漫画 MANGA
BLEACH: The guys are finally ready to attack as the new world dawns upon them. Well it's going to be a maze and many opponents, but that'll be later. Meanwhile, there seems to be more attackers than defenders, which is never a good thing. I mean, even the whole Soul Society against Aizen and it took Ichigo's one hit to stop him. Come on Kubo; extremity is not an option. Tonari no Kashiwagi-san: The school festival is up, and Tina wants some fun. Unfortunately the school holds it once every two years (that sucks), and Yuuto doesn't have a life. She wants him and Kotone to go to the festival together, but she knows full well the relationship between the two. So, she has an idea. Not awesome, but great. If you missed the cosplay hint within the chapter, I bet you that is a clue. Man I wished I had a friend such as Tina... lol
音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week should feature a couple more singles, but Imai Asami's new single (which I mentioned last week) and Ajikan's album are the only things I can talk about now. So that sucks. .lady. new single is not out yet, and I definitely forgot that Satomi-chan's first album is out only next week. So well, nothing much here this week. I gave two songs from Ajikan and gave chance to Imai Asami. Her voice is good man, just... the song. Sorry. It's Klassic Note.
That's it for this week. Next few weeks will brings us closer to the endings for all three shows as I welcome new Anime next season (looks like it's not much again, besides those two), and BLEACH probably will continue to get exciting. Cya guys next time, and hopefully by next week I can get APoL Chapter 16 going and me over the fact that I may have deleted all the stuff on my phone BY MYSELF. F**k me, man...
[P.S.: Good thing I can still do this segment, even if it starts from the phone. Bad thing is the source files are gone. Very sad.
There's more next week, as Mikakoshi continues to shower us (well me at least) with more selfies. There's more to come, just lesser.]
I thought of it the whole morning, and I guess I should write it down.
I dreamt of a new song. Not written by me, and it's revealed by a band I'm still waiting ever since three years ago. It's VELTPUNCH, for those who don't get the Tweet I posted in the morning.
They were on a stage, you can take it to be a day live because it certainly wasn't dark like an underground location. I sneaked in through the back door (probably because I had no money) and watched as they reveal and perform their new song. I was critical, but generally agreeing on the song I was creating all along in my mind, knowing of their style and music. I was walking out impressed by their performance and when I wanted to approach them as they left the stage to the exit, I saw a few of my friends. And it's those Anime friends, so unlikely to come for a J-Rock performance.
That is all I remember. If I can remember the melody I'll be a genius. If I can write this song down and pass it to them for their next album, it'll be a miracle. Cya guys tonight then, I'm almost done with Entertainment News.
Wow. I'm here yet again. Which probably means I took some time to see if I can recall everything or not before I start. Honestly saying? Not really. Nonetheless, we shall continue.
I was given a form to attend some... math-related event apparently, you know, like those that need parental consent? But this time on page 2 of this form is a blank space indicating nothing else besides needing me to fill up a location to get my identity card in order to register for this trip. I (for some unknown reason) wrote my secondary school down (really) and got out my attire for going to school. (I know WTF) As I left the place and I was crossing an overhead bridge I thought to myself:
"Will I get caught if I do not (bear in mind I'm describing my current staying-at-home appearance) shave and cut my hair? Won't I get punished for this?"
Sensing something bad may just befall on me, I quickly went back to this original location (feels like an apartment but it's not; you'll see why) and changed out of it. I then approached a friend nearby to ask about what to do with this.
"You can just fill in anywhere, like, I can fill in any school I went before. It's just to get your identification card."
Huh? I was even more confused than I was before. The form mentioned about getting one's identification card but did not mention specifically where (like, in this country you get it in a location, after registering with the authorities) and how. I then approach a middle-aged lady nearby at a counter near the exit.
"What? Now then you want to go for the expedition? It's about to end already, you know?"
She clearly shows me the front page indicating the registration time and period of the trip. She scratches her head and continues.
"If you want to go, you need to register your identification. The location is for us to send to the relevant place to inform them of your arrival to fetch the card, provided if you do not have it with you."
And yes, I somehow do have my card with me.
Later, we arrive at some place that looks like a convention but not the right place (I didn't pay to go in anyway) and noticed that the period for registering the trip has ended after the lady is repeatedly pacing around with my form to check and request assistance of my current status. She then passed the form to me and told me I was really too late and told me not to regret it because I took my time.
Which brings us this morning's Song of the day: SCANDAL's "Namida no Regret" from like four years ago. Don't worry, I heard it a couple of days ago, that is why I cab recall it.
Spooky isn't it? Searching for my own identity? And like, school coming back to haunt you? Not like I'm out of it yet, but still. Cya guys soon; My arms are getting tired.
Yeah, I finally took some time to read through the story I wasn't too pleased about. After this, I'm still not very pleased, but it's better. So I released it. Until the next revision, I guess.
In other news, I don't know how to continue for now, but I am still in planning. So to make sure the logic flows for the next arc. Yeah, it's going to be great.
Hey, guys. Call me a game developer. (Audience: WUT REALLY) Nah not really. I’m back on my long-dormant quest to recreating my childhood created game, if you guys know what it is. If not, maybe I’ll do it up and we see how far I can go. It’s tough, really, even without programming.
In other news, I think I need to draft this thing. My best opinions are easily forgotten and only happen immediately after I watch the material/media. Really, I’ll do it starting next week, I guess.
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: More of the past is explained, and more of the future is also revealed. In this revisit (lol), we see more of Yuuta’s role in avoiding the disaster, and how much he can’t do to change it. Well, at least not directly. The least he could do is stop joining the girls in the singing, really. Weirdest things are not the endings this time round (as we know why that someone fainted), but more of the awkwardness of how a fax machine can foretell the future. Hmm… Talk about weird, huh. Assassination Classroom: The class continue their pursuit and found the guys who drugged their drinks. He was defeated nonetheless, and we’re up to the next “boss”. I've got spoilers regarding the bosses (so that sucks as a viewer) that there are two more, and the final one is not unfamiliar. Even so, Karma is going to kick the sh*t out of that idiot standing before him, and we may be looking forward to an awesome ending for this adaptation of the manga. Yeah, I checked it. Plastic Memories: (oops haven’t watched yet) (I'm back, haha) It’a all about romance, apparently, and it got Michiru (and me) excited for some reason. That is good, they have a point, and I can see why. But as more people may want to poke in to the couple’s affairs, we may see more obstruction yet more clarification of understanding. Really, Tsukasa, open a conference and tell the world about it, okay? And don’t sob over it after that. I guess that is not going to be easy, but seeing this show going at this pace, I see that in the future. This show might just end on a pleasant note, if not more touching than expected. I’m looking forward to it. See? I write more if I do it right after- Yeah.
漫画 MANGA
BLEACH: Time to attack, so this is just another chapter of more talking, which is fine. We just need to know the fighting is not far in front of us, and I hope Kubo will get this done and over with soon, really. Kuroshitsuji: Looks like the guys found some cover for now, and why the hell the shinigamis from UK are coming to Germany?? Oh well ignoring the internationality of this underworld (like, literally) organisation, the guys are safe, but they seem to find out more about Undertaker's visit to that abode of... I don't know who that guy's name is, but it may seem... Undertaker is really, really up to something. Especially when the shinigamis are also talking about it too. Interesting.
On the other hand, the votes... I mean, if you don't know who the top few are you are an idiot. Or you're just not a fan of this show. I know, so I'm happy.
音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Quite a lot this week as a boom strikes again (I know I didn't say this last week) as I review two albums and one single. Ajikan's album is much of debate within myself at least, and I'm not prepared to give any for now, I don't know. On the other hand, Tsuji Shion's single is pretty appealing (not just the fan service preview) in terms of melody, and I tell you, it's been nostalgic.
If I say it has been five years since I listened to her songs, you can take my word for it. Listening to Tsuji Shion - Summer Flag
I hope her album is not far away, as I'll be looking forward to that. Also, I gave another chance to Tainaka Sachi and her latest album and I must say I'm impressed. The music style is subtle yet familiar, and the only thing that is stopping me from me giving her the whole album is her high-pitched voice. She isn't like that back then, but now... it seems to be a hurdle. But I think I can give the melodies, really.
Next week is pretty interesting, as I contest this tweet I mentioned a few days ago:
Now I'm seriously considering to not give Aki-chan's new single, and to give .lady. new single after Okaeri Radio just now. Good night.
.lady.'s (read as "dot lady") new single is out next week, and there is a chance this single may be on my shelf soon. I can foresee that, but I don't guarantee that result. I also heard Imai Asami's new single (Anime Plastic Memories ending song), and as expected it isn't impressive. The B-sides sound like remakes of familiar tunes, and the whole production sounds... pretty sloppy? Like many other Anime releases? Oops. Well I'm just voicing my opinion...
I guess that is all this week, as I said I shall try to not forget my constantly updating a draft before I post here. And besides, that medium I use to post my stuff is now down, but it won't be affecting much for now. Not until I review another release and need tables. Anyways, I shall see about that, and meanwhile, I shall post from Blogger itself, and through my phone. Until next time, guys.
[P.S.: Did I mention last week that this week's images feature a certain celebrated female voice actor??
Hell yeah Kana-chan. Lesser next week, and I shall do it in moderation from now. Why so, I also don't know... lack of resources?]
I wrote “revised” just for the sake of it. Or to cover the fact that I forgot to
do a review of it. As you know, I’ve been under a lot of stress just a month
ago. Anyways, let’s do the Mina-chan single. Also, I also forgot to do up
the review of her music video. Oh well, might as well do it here too. I intend
to do Tomacchan’s music video too, but I got nosebleed, so I recommend I suspend
that. Man, just thinking about it…
音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Kotobuki Minako – black hole [Single]
Limited Edition
Regular Edition
(Mina-chan in a very different light. Especially when she had her hair cut
over the end of the year. Man I miss the long hair already…)
Origin: Mina-chan has been on a long journey since her debut in 2010 (yes it’s
been five years), and so am I under her associated music style that is “Kotobuki
Rock”, which has nothing to do with her style. Changing her style under the 2nd
album, she reverts (only slightly) back to the usual rock style which I know and
love, and this time makes a break in terms of coolness and personal style, which
is great. Not perfect, but really great.
(1) black hole (Don’t
remind me how my friend talked about my money going down this “black hole” joke)
The songs has meaning, and it talks about that selfish self draining itself into
a black hole, in what I must say her boldest and coolest attempt yet. The music
video deepens the impression her as she continues to express herself in many
ways than other. So cool, so personal (for my case actually), and so well done,
in terms of melody in general and through the little lyrics I know. There are
plenty of English lyrics here, so it somehow makes it easier for me to
understand, but that doesn’t mean I can understand what she is singing. English
lessons, anyone? Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)
(2) Another
Wonderland Yes, the deciding factor for this single. As seen from her
success of her technopop style last season (I’m referring to her singles to her
2nd album, ie. 2013-2014) she attempts on another of such a song, throwing me
off after I hear just half a minute of the song preview from her radio
broadcast. I know, it’s hard to give it, but I eventually did, considering the
song being short and the song format being simple and rather repetitive, which
means there isn’t much for composition error (remember that dreadful bridge
thing?) (even though there is), so I just closed one eye for the style,
and poof, the single is on my shelf. It’s okay, but great if you like such a
style. Not so much for me though. The beats can carry some weight, but in
Klassic Note it’s not much praised. Still, I took a step back and gave it for
the whole image of this song. Rating: 4 stars (Average)
Conclusion:
Overall a decent release, not her best, but still commendable. It’s different
from usual, and that is to be complimented. I just feel that she can do more,
especially when I enjoyed so much of her first album back then. Perhaps the bar
has been raised, but I like to give Mina-chan’s voice a chance. I just hope the
composers give her a better song or two so I can give her the thumbs up every
time. If you like Mina-chan, this single should be on your shelf too, but if
you’re not, man the A-side is great. If you don’t know how cool she is, listen
to that song.
THE MUSIC VIDEO I’ll keep it short here, as
images speak a thousand words. I can only say, if you think you only see such
cool music videos outside Japan, it’s time to look at this now. So cool,
mysterious and crazy is Mina-chan here it’s not hard to convince yourself to do
crime. (lol) Nonetheless a great video, exhibiting her other side we’ve never
seen before in the best way possible. Here are some to get you started.
I guess that is all. Mina-chan as always is worth a listen, and
disappointment isn’t very often compared to many other voice actor singers out
there, so I guess you should give her a chance. Eight singles down, there’s
nothing wrong about her singing, really.
[P.S.: This is a delayed
review. For first impressions, here’s a couple of tweets I salvaged to give a
better prospective.
Oh yeah, the CD. It came today. I was so sucked into what was in it I didn't
post anything here. Listening to Kotobuki Minako - black hole
Okay so apparently I didn’t do another review on Mina-chan’s single. I guess for
the sake of the compilation I shall do it separately later. Meanwhile, we have a
couple of singles in out hands. Let’s get started.
(Man why do I feel
so unused to writing this? Oh yeah it’s been three months… oops)
As
usual, I’ll talk about the releases first, then the package in general. And as
usual, I only own the Regular Edition, but I am very aware of what the other
editions differ in, so you can count on that in the review.
音楽 The Klassic Note Review
TrySail – Youthful Dreamer [Single]
Regular Edition
Limited Edition
Anime Edition
(Close-ups are great, but they don’t get the full picture. And just ignore the
Anime Edition, yes?)
Origin: If you don’t know them, it’s fine. If you do know any of them,
you’ll know that their group formation is a matter of time. If you know all of
them, you’ll know they all come from the same company who is also taking care of
sphere, probably the most popular voice actor singer group of all time (lol),
and that this is a second attempt from itself to create another legend, I guess.
Cue most popular female voice actor last year Amamiya Sora (also Ten-chan, in
blue), combined with quirky (?) Natsukawa Shiina (in yellow) who voiced – if you
watched Sora no Method – Nonoka last year, along with blur queen Asakura Momo
(in pink) and you get the new trio of my generation. Yes, they are all
younger than me. Like, Ten-chan is months after me. Anyways, their debut is much
anticipated, and along with the new season of Anime this year brings them a good
opportunity to get started. Let’s get into the songs.
(1) Youthful
Dreamer You should know by now this song is also the opening theme song of
Anime Denpa Kyoushi (which I DO NOT WATCH, sorry), and that this definitely
isn’t the trio’s first song. But then the format for this group generally is
under pop with stronger beats, which lessened my impressions the first time I
listened to it through the Anime. (as I mention again I DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW)
But along the way I hear the completeness of this song under the review and
decided to give it alongside the B-side. Maybe this is a good time for me to
give chance to them, but also a good time for me to even give them, before the
trend of good melodies go away in the next single, which apparently is not far
away. Kudos to a good song this time round, and I hope they can keep it up. I
really like how Ten-chan’s voice outstands the other two, but I must say their
voices aren’t unrecognisable, so that’s a consolation to many trios out there
already. *pointing fingers everywhere* Rating: 4 stars
(your-everyday-Anison Average)
(2) Sail Out Of course this must
be it, their first song, if the A-side isn’t, yes? Bearing a similar style with
the first song, this brings out much of the meaning to the name of their group,
sailing to a new adventure. The melody is smooth, the style is okay, and there
is not middle portion I don’t like, so that is a perfect 4-star song I must
give, yes? So motivating a chorus, it makes me want to go on a journey.
Maybe? Rating: 4 stars (Above Average, I guess?)
Conclusion:
Overall that 4-star single I cannot not give, especially with that nice B-side
song, so that is pretty much it. It’s a new start for all three of them (don’t
even talk about solo music careers for the other two for now), and I’m probably
be listening to them until… things change. Well, it happened for sphere anyway,
so I guess this may not be very far behind, I hope. Good single for those
wanting a decent pop melody, but don’t expect too much especially when they are
under an Anime first time round. The B-side is great, so go give it a listen. I
like simple melodies; tongue twisters aren’t my thing.
ALSO! AFTER
HALF A YEAR!
音楽 The Klassic Note Review
fumika – Kesenai Yakusoku [Single]
One Coin Special Edition
Regular Edition
(No fumika as cover. Disappointing. Mind you it’s a single-song release, so
that means there’s a movie attached to this song. Good thing I gave it on her
album, so the cover on my list is fine. Read on to find out more.)
Origin: We’re not unfamiliar with fumika, that powerful voice you can get from
every female singer in USA. But who cares about that, we want Japan voice. That
is where fumika comes in, that power of a voice (which is coincidentally the
title of her 2nd album) makes for a special in emotional and epic songs, and
ever since her departure from mother company Sony Music Japan she was been doing
well. Early this year she releases her 2nd full album, which gives me another
chance to give her latest single, which is out like August last year. So why the
long wait? Purely because I forgot. *laughs* But whatever, now that it’s finally
here, let’s talk about how much this song brings her and us (possible you) to
another level.
(1) Kesenai Yakusoku [Unforgettable Promise] (well
I can’t come up with a better translation, so just accept it) fumika brings
another epic song after that Endless Road single last year (which I also
reviewed), also a movie theme song. Ignoring that, this song is plenty of
romance, and a supposed promise that is yet to be fulfilled. Man I think I had
that time too. (I shall stop here) Anyways, it’s touching, it’s epic, it’s
romantic… If you want to take this to apologise/confess to someone I guess you
could. The lyrics didn’t come as instantly to me because of the melody
throughout the song was my reason back then, but I think it’s fine. fumika did
contribute to this song too in lyrics, and that brings out the meaning, along
with her many songs in the past few years. A song to listen, and if you tear up,
it means you like this song. Like me. The music video itself also brings a
strong cast of models to write down their biggest promises, and I guess that
deepens the meaning of this song.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)
(2) Endless Road (acoustic
version) I have not reviewed this song until recently, so I was pretty
thrown off by the vocals (yes it’s still her) and the acoustic style for that
five-star song I gave last year. Nonetheless, it reminds me of the great song I
gave #4 in the rankings last year, and that is also nostalgic and lighter in the
mood for this style, which is fine. I don’t think the acoustic version is a good
representation of the original song, especially when it’s not done perfectly
(especially when you listen to YUI and miwa and SPECIAL OTHERS), but it’s a
listen. Rating: 4 stars (Average; for the melody, not for this version)
Conclusion:
Overall a pretty good single, considering it technically has only a single track
if you haven’t listened to Endless Road, but man if you didn’t it’s time to
listen to that first before appreciating this version, yes? Go, she can be found
on YouTube.
THE PACKAGE
Well as I said I missed it by one day, but then it’s… okay let’s not
talk about that yes? I had to wait longer because I ordered TrySail’s single
after review which is after release date, and I ordered these two singles from
two different shops, so yeah. But it’s here, and I’m very glad it’s here.
That
special gift (if you’ve been following on Twitter) is online shop Toranoana’s
way of protecting their gifts, using a cheap paper envelope. Really, one drop of
water and I’m going to start crying. So I take care of it well. Besides, it’s
the fact that I end up with them after I see the special gifts of Animate gone,
Gamers gone, and that I can never order something from Sofmap. So I ended up
with this, which is still a great representation of the trio.
I
guess that’s it then. I’ve done enoguh to promote the trio, and I’ve forgotten
much of what I like about fumika after three months I gave it already, so yeah,
this is the best I can do. Tune in later where I dig up my memories of
Mina-chan’s single and tell you what I like about her. Cya guys soon.
I feel reluctant to write this down, mainly because I don't remember much, and man there's plenty of content. As you know my tiny brain memory cannot handle this much, even if it's a vivid dream, so I'll cut it in perspective. I'll surround it on one location and talk from there, yes?
THE HOSPITAL Don't take the word for itself. Imagine that, but a run down one, like those with tall walls and only one floor, with long hallways leading to very small rooms and departments, akin to a clinic in scale.
THE SHOOTOUT Probably the only thing I remembered from is when I was in a shootout with a bunch of friends (I know it's not the military because I'm holding a pistol) and we're clearing the opponent waves up from one direction. (I know a band called One Direction lol nothing to do with this dream) And in one round they decided not to fire, so I was just blindly firing and missed almost every bullet. I then stopped to see the enemy taking weapons from our side from my teammates and walking away with it, with no resistance from my friends too.
I mean, can he just get it away like that?
So this links to the visit to that hospital. One of them was seriously injured so we brought him her for surgery.
THE FISHBONE Because it was in a primary role instead of a secondary one. I don't remember the beginning already, but suffice it to say my sis and I are choked from fish bones, and I think my sis died from it? (Touch wood) I brought a part of her (somehow she split herself into pieces lol) in a tin box to see one of the nurses and asked "Is it possible to retrieve something from a dead body? Like, the body is still intact."
The nurse gave me the disgusted face and replied me kindly, "No, and there is no point to do it anymore."
The doctor nearby noded in agreement and I walked away. As I walk out through the long hallways I threw the box away (sorry sis) and sputter the last fish bone from my throat before I left the facility. As I smile in joy of myself liberated from the choking, I sang myself a song. It was "Shadow" by cinema staff. You can listen to them online here. <insert embed video here> (if you see this come back later)
I guess that's all I remember. If it's weird to you it's even more to me when I woke up with such timing, synced with my alarm. Well, I must go prepare for my morning swim now. Bye.
Hey guys. Man, if you spend an afternoon killing time on a computer game… you have no life. Like me. Well I do have a life, though not as implied, but still. I’ve got many things to do after this. APoL too perhaps. I’m close to doing up Chapter 16. As I mention, planning of general plot for the upcoming arc is already complete. Oops spoiler.
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: Well, what can I say? This show has plot. And they’re reminiscing it yet again. Yuuta comes back to where we started *wink* and makes efforts to change the outcome. Unfortunately I can’t understand the limits of the utopia the stupid cat is thinking of and not letting us do things directly, but it almost gets close to the previous outcome, as you will of course know is a failure. I mean, I see the meaning in going back time and time again, but this? We shall see what this main guy can do. Remember there is always a backup, which is a future him. LOL Assassination Class 3rd-person: Yeah there was a third person who wants the bounty, and with the inherent failures of the students, someone takes an advantage on them. Man this is as exciting as it is infuriating, but this should be fun, considering Nagisa is the whole class’ trump card (of which no one notices until he gives that face), and I guess there may still be external agents involved in this. Well it’s about to end for this season, and I think this arc will come to a considerable conclusion. I just wonder if this is original content. Maybe I should go check. Plastic Memories: (I noticed Mikakoshi does watch this, which is great xD) (OMG NOW THEN I KNEW IT WAS HER; read on to find out) Tsukasa ponders over what every human in Terminal Service does at some point, and they seem to be an exception, emphasising on welfare over procedure. A new Giftia Andie is introduced from another division, however she is not new to Eru, who remembers the past her like as if she didn’t get formatted of her OS. Oh well, that gives some thought (so much that they placed the opening at the back??) for the main guy as we go close to seeing the final conclusion to him and Isla, hopefully a nice one though.
The point I was pissed (previous paragraph) just now is that I finally found out online (which I can also do just by seeking the video) that the new character this week (Andie) is voiced by Mikakoshi! No wonder she was watching the show! And damn I was watching the whole episode thinking “who’s that familiar voice” and I swear I paused the video several times to think of the possibilities! Man, I feel so dumb! I’m so not befitting of being her fan. I feel so ashamed, I need to calm down.
Meanwhile, let’s move on with serious business. Damn, I must punish myself by listening to her radio broadcast for the rest of this holiday…
漫画 MANGA
BLEACH: Well looks like being Soul King is great, or probably just possessing so much reiatsu. This is already a good enough example of the extrapolation of power when one has that much power, that terraforming can be done without his or her own hands. In this case, Yoruichi’s group arrived for sure, just… at a place no longer familiar. I swear that transformation that happened seemingly within minutes includes a castle full with mazes, checkpoints and opponents. Well at least for the top tier. Or maybe not, I don’t know. Amari Mawari: Amari still wants to be hugged by the guy, so she tries all kinds of methods again, with a final success. Man if she really so wants is just give it to her already. Screw Kyouka and her beatings, really. *laughs* A Channel: (what actually happens when you have to wait for the week to type this down lol) Well the girls talk about food, specifically Tooru and Run’s experience with Yakiniku (JFGI) and the many stupid yet funny things that happen along the way. I wished I had such a friend, even if she’s dumb, haha.
音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Well this week isn’t much as I just ended up giving KANA-BOON’s new single the thumbs up. The music video is a dance. Really. It includes the guys in the band. How did they convince them do to it, seriously? Anyways, this comes much better than expected, so I just gave it in the end. Next week’s release is already out apparently, it’s Sasaki Eri’s debut single, which is just the opening theme for Anime Plastic Memories (I listened to it before watching the show; I’m dumb) too. Not bad for the A-side, and I shall not talk about the B-side. Talking about Anime theme songs, the ending song of the same show doesn’t sound great from the “extended preview” from this week’s episode. So much for nicer melody than the opening. Oh well, we shall talk about it the week after then. Or next week, actually.
On new song previews, we have plenty on the list, many appearing in the future weeks too. Ajikan’s new album songs sound… very Western (clearly Gotoh is already heavily influenced by them), so giving topic songs for now is not going to be easy until the full album release. negoto’s new song doesn’t sound that great, so I may just give it a miss again. I’m always on or off with them anyway. Aki-chan’s new song preview is out on this week’s radio broadcast (which I DID NOT LISTEN TO because I thought she said next week), and it sounds prospective. I’m never really worried about Tsuji Ayano writing songs, so this may end up being a good one. Now for the B-side. Next week perhaps? I’ll surely be listening, because Mikakoshi says she’s going to be in it next week! Yesh.
That’s it I guess. My arms are tired from an afternoon of non stop tapping on my PC (on both hardware), and I need to settle the new song too. The order I had from like two weeks ago will probably be here by next week, so stay tuned for that too. (TrySail FTW) (for now, haha) (Their second single announced liao wor, opening theme of next season Anime, with ClariS doing ending theme) (what an awesome combination)
Okay, that’s a little too much aftercontent. Anyways, I’m thinking hard and pushing myself to plan for what’s next on APoL apart from my (hopefully useful) physical regime and playing games, so we shall see then. Until next time… don’t play too many games. Even if you do, show restraint. YouTube is a better place to kill time, really. Oh yeah I’m still playing with my phone too huh…
[P.S.: It’s the top three! (OK exclude the first one) Well in my opinion anyway, and has always been ever since I watched something other than BLEACH. lol
Next week’s proposed to be a Kana-chan week, so look forward to that. Not that she is going to propose to me anyway. (I know lousy pun) I’m going to propose to her, hehe. (Audience: Lousy pun x2)]
[P.P.S.: Man that episode of Plastic Memories… I could swear I recognise that voice, but I thought it was someone else who has a feminine voice but didn’t thought of that little tint of boyish voice within is actually Mikakoshi! I know that! But I just couldn’t recognise her voice from that! I never thought of it! Goddammit I am so bad. I feel like apologising to her personally. Even though that probably is impossible, isn’t it? Haiz. (Period.)]

Integrityissues always happen over truereason. Only when reason happens over integrity that intentions are not questioned.
So we can safely assume that everyone is using an excuse instead of giving reason. Well, that is an assumption anyway. There are honest people in this world.
I must say I’m very impressed with what the shows have to offer from recent episodes. Looking forward to many happy endings already.
Don’t even ask what I’m doing now. I’m doing… something.
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: With supposedly Meika’s cliffhanger, the criminal seems to have been revealed, and some things have been explained, like the origins of some of the characters, what Yubafy-ing can do, and who is under that stupid hero attire, which is just a previous clone of the main guy. Hmm, not that I’m bothered about that supernatural phenomenon, but being able to go back in time also means there is a chance for reset. And that, is not an uncommon phenomenon in Anime. Remember Yojouhan? Yeah, but this probably is the last time, as we would probably see a conclusion to this end-of-the-world asteroid disaster. Hopefully. I think. Assassination Class-owns-remote-island: Seriously, this is weird. Even the mascot is pissed. The last class is apparently enjoying a hell of time in their reward for getting tops in exams, and also are plotting their ultimate attack on their teacher. Talk about ungratefulness LOL. Anyways, I can even see that this is filler, so a conclusion is necessary to end this season, so we shall see how much Koro-sensei will get ripped from next episode onwards. Well, he should reveal more of himself before he is killed, yes? Plastic Memories: From last episode, we can already guess Isla will be less reluctant to… Tsukasa’s “advances” on her, besides their date is actually a visit down memory lane. Man, this sure got the people around them (the guys in his office) (the neighbouring girls) excited (just look at romantic-tsundere Michiru) (I like) (LOL) (Audience: |||…), and less of the couple, they’re taking things in their own pace. Well, not so much. They don’t have much left, and nothing much is revealed about Giftias and Terminal Service as an occupation for a while, so either that is going to pile up all on Isla as a conclusion, or they better not go lovey-dovey till the end. No really, this isn’t your romance comedy Anime.
漫画 MANGA
BLEACH: Hmm things have taken a turn now that the bad dude has fully consumed the Soul King, so bad things are bound to happen. He looks scary though. Maybe the last saviour of this show is the fact that the ex-Soul King is released, and that he potentially can save the world. Not that anything else is foretold, so I don’t know where this will go. Hope it’s satisfactory, even if it means ending the world. Really. Hopefully not. Evergreen: Well we know this is going to end soon, but I didn’t expect to be this soon, in chapter count. Anyways, a terrible event happens, and obviously one is worried about the other. So the guy goes to rescue the girl in an abandoned wooden house on the hills, and all is well. Too bad they cannot be lovers, but they have a special relationship, and that is enough. Man, if I had such a relationship with someone too… *sob* Really, this show displays many everyday-life phenomenon, like the one on the right.
Every time man, when my mom’s not at home.

If I have to give 10 songs in one day... I will give 10 songs in one day. OK maybe 8 first tonight. I'll listen to KANA-BOON again.
This pretty much sums up this week for me, as I try to give three singles and one album my opinion, and another album pending and another single still under review, hopefully by tonight. Or next week, maybe, so that I have something to write about. *looks at release list*
Chatmonchy’s album isn’t as much as I expected anymore ever since… yeah they weren’t a trio anymore, but then it isn’t bad. If I’m not wrong besides the topic song (which is real retro in my opinion, but still great) I gave one song from each side (the guys group, who played in the single last October, and the girls group, who played in the single just two months ago), so I know I’m unbiased. Ikimonogakari’s new single only consists of one new song, so I won’t comment much about it. They're still on their live tour anyway. Anyways, TrySail’s debut single (if you don’t know who they are Ten-chan’s in it) sounds great for a single, especially when it’ll probably be this good the first time round. So, I grabbed it while it’s still good. Like, along with the gift of a photo of the trio to commemorate the occasion. Yeah. xD Also I took some time to go to the Chinese music industry to hear some songs, and I think I got another indie group who sounds like cozy diary, I guess. Crispy’s 2nd single “Companion” (as in 脆乐团 and 玩伴) sounds eccentric in melody and totally emo in lyrics, and the B-side is also great. Man EP for a duo who… I think didn’t get to the end of the competition, seems to have a bunch of good songs. Not so sure about the rest of them, but this single will do.
I’ll probably give Sambomaster’s new album soon (if the album ever comes first; it’s supposed to be this week), and I’m still giving KANA-BOON’s new single some thought. I’m not impressed by their album, but this one… I may just give it a song or two. Stay tuned for answers to these questions next issue, yes?
I guess that’s it then. Man it’s a lot I’ve written. Which is good, it means I’m thinking. Thinking about something. Less of APoL, but more of the fact that I’m nowhere. I’ll be doing my own physical regime from tomorrow I guess (obviously for some reason, you know me), and the days will move on. If you need a word for what’s next for APoL, honestly saying I will try to do up v2s first before continuing on the story. I know. I’m getting excited too. But things need to be improved so I can be impressed with myself, and that takes time, not a deadline. Cya guys then, I think I’ve said enough. Until next time… take care. I’ll try to take care of myself too. Psychologically. *laughs*
[P.S.: Talking about mental health, it’s well maintained by this week’s “a-seiyuu-a-day” week! Yesh!
If you ask which one is my favourite… I’ll tell you which one it is when I have a girlfriend. Or when it is one of them. Haha.]
I didn't want to do this, but I remember it well enough to do it.
One scene is from I guess, influenced by some China drama last night. Not that I watched it, but a glimpse is enough for it to set the scene and environment of my dream, albeit no storyline. Well the storyline goes from special snipers that are hunting down nomads (I guess I am one of them). Someone was wanting food after being lost in the wild, a guy wants to chase him away but the lady beside him stops him.
"He is just here for food. Give him some."
As he is taking his food, another of the guys goes to see to one of the kids, who is sitting by a rock. The guy walks to him to give him some food and notices he does not react as agile. He lifts him up from a slightly lying down position and notices a part of a blue blob of seemingly ink on the rock. (Blue because I watched a gameplay of a game with ink) He lifts the boy out of the way to see the ink blob fully covering the rock. He then starts to touch the boy from the front to look for any holes and yes, he saw one. A big one.
"It's my turn already, huh."
The boy sighs in pain as he is brought to rest with a bunch of other people who have obvious holes on their bodies.
------------------------
Another scene is simpler than the one above. Supposedly my dad is fixing a toilet bowl that has a hole... by the side. Like, a hole, enough to cover the left side of the bowl. I'm still peeing off it, hoping it doesn't go off the sides (like, literally) and then I left. As I'm outside the bathroom, I can hear my dad complaining things like "this thing smells all the time" and "how am I going to do this with this smell".
Sorry dad, it's just a dream.
I guess that's all. I may not have such dreams after tonight (because I'll likely be running a fitness regime in the morning), but we shall see. If my imagination goes far I rather I dream of APoL, so to further the progress of the story too, hehe. Cya guys soon.
Friday 15 May 2015
Life is short, but life should've beenshorter.
I know about all that human has achieved, but seriously, we can't live that long. Well, just affected by the recent news of a departed acquaintance. And not to worry, not commuting suicide anytime.
So first draft because I have some things I haven't’ finalise. But to wait for that to bear fruit (you know I work using inspiration not deadlines) I guess this may take longer. Like a v2 for Chapter 14 too. That’ll take some time.
I definitely mentioned about changing the title of this… serialisation. Whatever. I’ll think of something.
It’s been a fruitful week here, now that the exams are behind me. Now to catch up on what I missed. Like, a certain story I have to write.
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: Hmm how should I say it… This show feels weird. Don’t mind me, the animation is great (Ito-chan crying so much I want to hug Mina-chan) (?) and the suspense is there, the story still feels believable (spirit’s ability to reverse back time to save someone), but NOT ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER?? Seriously man, this is getting boring. Funny thing is Meika is some robot, so we do know she may just survive this attack. Unfortunately the ending just gives one the cringing feeling that I have to watch the next episode. Seriously, man. Anyways, the end is near, like the end of the year in the story is near, and something must happen. We’re close to halfway through the show, and I can’t wait so see more plot. Not cliffhangers, please. I had enough of those… Ansatsu Kyoushitsu Class 3-AB: (Like, just between Classes A and B) Seriously, they can claim that title. The last class owned three of five main subjects in the school, and that is only mid-terms. That maybe the good news, but that also means we’re not over. Remember season 2? (Audience: OMG…) Hell yeah. All content next episode onwards may just be filler, so I guess that’s a problem. I’ll still watch though; the comedy will win over everything anyway. Plastic Memories: Conversely to Punch Line, this actually has some great story-telling going on. Recalling back to Isla’s past so that they can tell you that she didn’t get hit by the ultimate weapon last episode may be a bitch, but at least she’s fine. What’s not fine is her time is going to be up. What’s fine is Tsukasa doesn’t mind being with her till her end. Which is great, seeing that scene from Episode 1, yes? I’d like to see this come to an end, but I know the production will make a happy ending. I just hope they don't. They can always replace Isla to conclude the season and create another season? Hehe, I don’t know about that…
漫画 MANGA
BLEACH: Many are back to create supposedly the best space warp of all time (surprisingly Kubo’s explanation of Dangai, Garganta and this is very well), and lead by Yoruichi, they proceed to defeat the boss. On the other side, I think the Soul King really is no more. The best part is if next chapter I see the Yhwach’s face replaced by the Soul King’s. Like, consumption until transformation, isn’t it? LOL

Wow.
I didn’t expect to come to this part. Been busy doing up APoL and playing games until the computer doesn’t cooperate and I didn’t even listen to many songs. I almost got to a Chinese song today, but due to the song’s weird style (folk nonetheless) I gave up on it. Ore Ska Band’s latest album is also on review, but chances are I may take none of them. Looks like their preference isn’t aligning to mine anymore… I did mention that the major label is doing them a favour by making their songs great.
Next week brings Kalafina’s single (which I will skip yet again) and Chatmonchy’s album, which is good in prospect, listening to their topic song. Hope that’ll change things up. I need to listen to more guys singing, huh. Or else I may end up combining the solo portions in the vocal popularity survey for the song awards. Hmm… don’t understand? The link is either to your left (desktop) or you can always use the top menu to go to the playground page and access from the KlassicNote twitter account (mobile). See? So accessible. (Audience: Right…)
Well that is all, folks. Next week I’ll be doing on more from Chapter 16 in APoL, probably all the way to 20 by the time I reach the next semester. Yes, which also means I’ll try doing up Chapter 15 ASAP. I’m having some inspiration troubles, so this will take a day or two, but no longer than that. This one is short, so I’ll finish it. So long as this com continues functioning. Cya guys then. And until next time… I want a real girl to look that. Oops, I revealed my deepest desires. Well, read ahead for evidence.
[P.S.: Last week of chirakoshi brings all of her past and present (I like the latter more, hehe) together in one batch!
Next week’s going to have no Mikakoshi (yeah I know), but there’s more of everyone else. It’s been piling up.]
Stop trying to find an angle in everything. I'llgiveyoua 360°; I'llseehowyoufindanangle.
Well that's because (in my opinion) that is practically nothing. Try procrastinating again then. (Lol I was just watching a YouTube video...)
Friday 8 May 2015
Saying yes means a lot. But sayingnomeansalotmore.
Kind of reminds me of that "Yes Man" movie that I NEVER WATCHED. Oh well, you don't have to watch that to know this anyway.
Unfortunately this isn’t really going to be not interrupting, and the adventure lasts about three months. Let’s get to it.
As many would know (if there isn’t anyone), my exams are over. And I’m going to be free for like, three months, before the next semester commences. Too bad I’m not smart enough to so for a special semester to boost my grades (it’ll just make it worse), and I have no experience in part-time work, and many things else… And I like to stay at home, so I can’t do nothing. As with many previous “adventures” I’ll be doing many of my own things I embrace that is independent of any pace of this world. All off my free time.
RECENTLY Since yesterday I’ve been playing some GTA V because I’ve not been playing ever since the release date (for the exams of course), and I didn’t get far. Mostly because online is for people who play with others (I do, just not with friends), and I know the story because I watch YouTube videos TWICE. Anyways, I’ve been playing, and not going much productive in my own opinion, or even in anyone’s opinion yet.
ACTIVITIES These three months isn’t without inactivity, as so I would hope. I have a fitness test to take within this period, which means I need to work out for it, and that is expected to start very soon for at least one month so I can pass the running portion. I also have to go back to that dreaded place for a week or two in two months time, so I guess I’m somewhat far away?
GENERAL PLAN For now, I’m going to work on APoL Chapter 15, for if which you guys know I’m already close to finishing it, just writing (typing) it down. I’m also doing another own home video production I’ve not done like I had for Klassic Note Top 20 for the recent years (I’m doing for when I started having the idea of it, in 2011), and I’ll be clearing many little productions and encodings in between to sort out my data.
I may just share my opinion of Windows 10 when it arrives this summer (yes it is, JFGI), just because I own a Surface Pro 3 which is (1) working poorly in Windows 8.1 and which (2) will give me a better idea of the difference of touch controls in order for it to work on my computer, which is still faithfully running good old Windows 7. According to Microsoft, it’s going to be old, in five years time. According to them too, Windows 10 is going to change everything. I hope so. *looks at Windows 10's YouTube videos*
I also will spend more time on Klassic Note of course, and hopefully I won’t be only doing maximum two tweets a day just for Song of the day records. Yeah, I know. I’m getting lazy.
REAL SHORT & SWEET I guess that is generally it. I’ll play games when I have the mood, and will spend more time on APoL writing and brainstorming if possible. But as I mention, this is all in its own pace, so time will be a problem here. But I have plans to finish a chapter or two, so I will get to it. Everyone, whoever is interested, may join me in this independent journey to creativity, freedom of speech, and potentially depression. I’ll try to avoid the last one as much as I can. I have a lot bottled up anyway. Cya guys then, and until next time… I’ll work on Chapter 15. It’s another Card Holder, I can tell you that. And if you don’t know what that is you can start reading from Chapter 1: I’ll probably be done by the time you catch up the latest one. (Audience: You mean, by tomorrow??) No. Don’t read that fast.
Hey guys. And I know, tomorrow will be my day of liberation… and realisation. I’m not taking it too seriously, so that maybe bad news. However, I’m more or less ready, and am not intending to disappoint myself. Even though that’s the story, but I’m still here.
Yeah. I should do more revision than watch hours of Anime. Haiz.
アニメ ANIME
Punch Line: More service possibly, but then a lot more story development. People step in to Rabura’s life to court her or even mess up her life’s interests and favourite food, but then more than ever are people reminding her of the things around her. Like wanting to find the hacker in the house to solve the world’s problem now or even save someone from being killed. Yeah, that cliffhanger of Ito-chan on the ground is… is just too much. Of course it may be a hoax, but then I see more than that compared to… shows I don’t even want to mention again. I shall see what happens, and take it in when it happens. Many secrets to an original Anime, so I guess… Ansatsu Kyoushitsu: The exams are near, which also means the story is ending soon (remember the end of the world thing? yeah hopefully you didn’t forget because of Koro-sensei), and which also means more competition between the elites and the… potential elites supposedly to be idiots are taking it to the floor. Oh well this wouldn’t go well anyway, but I’m more interested in the ending. For this season, at least we know it’s not going to be complete, but I’ll take a happy ending, if possible. Plastic Memories: I’m getting used to the theme songs already, I must admit. Sadly the songs only come another month after this, so… oh well. Anyways, about the story. It’s gotten serious. Obviously the fact that things must get worse one way or another as hinted from the last episode, this episode brings things to a new level because they left a cliffhanger of Isla potentially… being wiped off her functions. Oops. It may be Tsukasa’s fault for all we know (we also know that she revealed her intentions as a Giftia to him too), but then this may be a good chance to be friends with her again. Yeah, but this friendship may be a short-lived one: Isla has less than 1000 hours left anyway. Any way this goes it’s going to be great, so I’ll be looking forward to that.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week finally sees the review for cinema staff’s 4th album, in which I didn’t listen to their first at all, haha. The album isn’t as disappointing as I hoped. Unfortunately, I think I’m missing on the topic songs again, but I got a couple of songs under way. Man I think I’m giving lesser chances for male singers, seriously, as I give more case studies for the female idols I give so much chance to. Also in this week there’s also Punch Line’s opening theme song, which I didn’t expect much as I’m just reviewing it for the Hyadain composed song. Other than that, I see the potential of Shokotan, but nah, not this time. Surprisingly I found out this is listed as her release than Denpagumi (the other group behind the theme song), who is… just another girls’ group. LOL
On other news, I listened to some new songs from Ikimonogakari to Sambomaster to Chatmonchy, Yeah. That’s about it. I’ll see if I want to give any of them. Haha, I will. Eventually.
I guess that’s all then. I’m getting tired (even though I’m sleeping through the day), and I think I should go for some last revision, so… yeah. Cya guys then, and until tomorrow…. then maybe I’ll be liberated. I’ll be talking about my plans for this long break ahead of me too, just to pace things out, yes? Until then… take care. I’m not taking care of myself. Especially when your phone and your tablet-laptop is getting on your nerves. The computer is soon following too, actually, as I cannot even play GTA V in full HD!! Haiz…
[P.S.: Another week of chirakoshi! And some Mina-chan and Tomacchan!
Next week will be the last week for Mikakoshi’s photobook, and I think I’ll be able to put a week of different girls the week after that. Great. Cya.]
[P.P.S.: Some things to iron out, like YouTube embeds here will follow the mobile allowed width, but you can always make it full screen anyway. Also, more on APoL tomorrow, I guess.]

Because most of the time selfexperience ismorethantalkingaboutexperience.
Really, it's different. That's why I'm still stuck within my own experience. People just need to experience to learn. Talking isn't everything.
