The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #33

Hey!!!!!

As you would have known from yesterday's super late Klassic Note Review post (which I did terribly as usual) (sorry I can express it in 2009 but not now lol but my English would be bad haha) that you should know I HAVE A JOB NOW!!! And I like how there's the holiday in the middle so if I can't take it for tomorrow and the day after I can just take a break lol. Well, it's a long story, but suffice it to say I found a company who wants people doing applications that is identical to the one self-learnt internship program I made for that company. So yeah, I'm employed. *cheers*

So yeah, posting this quick and early so I can prepare some know-hows (I'm not confident in my skills especially terminology considering it's self-learnt) to make sure I don't embarrass myself tomorrow haha

LET'S BEGIN!! (Audience: ノリノリだな...) <= I think I have a need to convert my audience to Japanese so I can practice my lingo and because I don't need translations who reads this shit anyway lmao

アニメ BANANA FISH

"It's like sex" Boy, do I not know anything about that lol

I think I am feeling comfortable in watching this series so much I am actually liking the plot development tbh. The new episode (#BANANAFISH07) again, emphasises to us that the most important thing humans need is family. Oh well, or so we think. Hey, it's Anime, man. You can write whatever the fuck you want haha. Okay, the plot. The crew was going to the West to figure out details about BANANA FISH, now known as the drug which had similar effects to common drugs like LSD but with much adverse effects, and this conspiracy may go all the way to the top. Well, at least to the military because it seems they were using it on the soldiers a lot without them realising. Knowing of the truth, we know Max and Ash are the only two on the route to discover this mystery, and hopefully will be the only ones alive after convincing the Japanese duo to go home, and hopefully, Ash noticing something's wrong with the bro and partner Shorter. Hey, the alliance is broken the moment that Dino name appears, to be honest. Still, it gives good hints to the two now that they have to go back to New York, face the shit that is literally the whole mafia, and try to uncover the truth at the same time. Sorry Los Angeles trap for the truth, and thanks for all the facts which probably will not matter once we see Max's family die next week lol. Nah, probably not, but it's good exchange to stop the search, for sure.

Please tell me some real life magazine has already made this haha

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"Do you ask sumo wrestlers why they wear their thongs?" Yeah, I do, actually. But probably not directly at one of them they too busy touching other guys lol

Man, I agree with you Chio-chan video games are a problem in Japan as J-Pop is a problem here where I live haha oh it's just me? *laughs* The new episode (#ChioChan07) gives us enemas (oops), BL content, and more. All in a day's work for those animators, I hope. *laughs* Okay, let's talk about what happened. Firstly, Chio-chan's trip to the convenience store. Well, she wanted to buy a rare gaming magazine which only is sold locally in the store (I feel you, Chio-chan) but has been replaced by a BL gaming magazine which got her attention and interest real fast, so I won't say that's a bad thing. Problem is, she has to buy it. Normally you won't mind because you do it online and the cashier isn't someone you know of who will judge you, but hey Chio-chan doesn't know how to use her computer to do anything else besides gaming, and Andou-san is on shift today, so... you know. She's screwed. But not as bad as the second half where Manana got screwed real hard TWICE by a middle schooler who apparently plays finger-up-your-anus games in their private school. Wow. Okay, not true btw so don't go ask any student the next time you go on a foreign student exchange (because it'll be real dumb, or at least make sure the one knows about this show lol), but man it was fun to watch. Just weird to find someone on the streets wanting to stick it up your ass so desperately anyways, but hey, thanks Kushitori-senpai for chipping in haha. Yeah, she gonna break her fingers, that kid. *laughs* Also, never hinted on why or who she was other than her getting revenge for her brother, but unfortunately I'm going to spoil it here because she's Andou's sister. Why or how it is so, we'll leave it to future episodes to explain. I mean, Andou-san can't possibly be interested in boys love AND know ass sticking, right? RIGHT??? *laughs* God this show is terrible haha. To end this off, "Homos" is the word you're finding, audience. And I apologise on behalf of the show for censorship lol it's to keep this show air-able haha

Comparison rate: 99.9% (lol)
[That is As Nodt from the "BLEACH" series btw]

I can't show any of the enema stuff so here's a reaction from poor Manana lmao

P.S. Oh you damaged store merchandise? Just... put it back! *laughs* Sorry Japan haha we have bad habits in this city state
P.P.S. Also decided to watch this live from a Japan TV stream (which is a thing now, go Google "Abema.tv") since "Asobi Asobase" also had it on the channel, and man was it funny to see Japanese comments on this episode. But hey, I may just do this again but hopefully my impression of the show will dampen so I can laugh again like this, unlike the other which airs on Sunday night and I have to review it the next day

漫画 MANGA

Nothing here, guys. I'll see if I can keep this segment on next week.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week brings us a couple of releases that are worth talking about. Sambomaster's new single is on my shelf (it has been some time since I said that lol) after kind of cheating like in Ikimonogakari's (I wouldn't say) last single as a fork from their best album, these guys in order to fulfil a movie credit had an existing song as their image song and B-side of the single release. Of course, re-played so that it feels like the band today. Still good though. Okay we'll talk about that hopefully by the end of the month. ClariS new single is okay, I didn't expect too much from it so I just ended up giving it after a bad first impression as heard from the Anime credit it's from. But hey, "happy good day" man, so I'm not complaining. I also confirmed on a couple of releases from the past week including Kuraki Mai's new single track and King Gnu's single track as for the latter I really held back in giving them to be honest. But... in Klassic Note we give shorter songs relatively easy chance of entering so long as it's not irritating as I hear it multiple times.

I'm still (not really) trying to give songs from the various live performances I've listened to from like, two weeks ago, and now I regret not  listening to Sambomaster's live performance this weekend because you know, work stuff. *laughs* So yeah, sphere's live will be hard but for GLIM SPANKY I may have plans. Some of the melodies are ringing in my mind from time to time. We shall see. Next week will brings us the most lovable silly not Anime girl irl Asakura Momo's 4th single because she's just as described (lol) and the new single sounds lively, so I'll give her a chance. Also on review in Klassic Note will be LuckLife's 2nd album which hopefully I'll be able to listen to it considering the topic song isn't that great. Man, we're slowly running out of good songs...

In the newest news which I don't know of, SID's music library (in case you don't know of them I reviewed one of their singles back in 2014 lol) is now available (I know I'm a week late in this but) in major streaming platforms, and that of course includes Apple Music Japan. So yeah, go ahead and re-live the past that is now forgotten, but seriously, where are the good songs guys. That, they are trying to realise with the new mini-album due in September. And they're giving as a preview! Hmm... won't say I like it, but I'll give the release a listen when it comes. Hey, another artist joins the ranks. It's making my Apple Music subscription worth more every year.




Okay I know this is not much, but hey remember the new Anime airs tonight ie. I can only review them tomorrow. (Well technically I can watch Asobi Asobase live but I wanna watch it twice haha) Late night Anime problems, everyone. That, and I gotta work tomorrow. *giggles* Okay cya guys tomorrow. I'm nervous and happy at the same time that some small company would want me to work for them. Little do they know... no it's nothing guys don't worry about it haha

The Klassic Note Review 2018.05 Issue 1 (Revised)

Well I thought I should clear this up since I'm going to work starting next week.

*cheers with joy* Okay that's about enough don't get my anxiety up so soon we can continue discussions tomorrow lol

Okay, this one was compensation for when at a time I had no mood to go this review (you guys have no idea how happy I was to be given a job position), so now I'm here to kick things back up again, or so I hope. Now I got to think of how to review Sambomaster's new single. Maybe weekends too? It's going to be the case from now on to say the least.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Shinseiki no Love Song [Single]

(The art in this is amazing as always, and because of the artwork this has been their symbol for the artist for years in the music industry even till today)

Origin: Although the release was in 2009, back then I didn't consider giving the release as a whole with the two songs mainly because of the B-side as I found it less than interesting. In today's Klassic Note, that opinion has been swallowed and thus this came back into view. The nostalgia plus the freshness in giving the other song which I have totally neglected over the past 9 years? This single has come a long way. The best albums were released in March, but it took me about two months to even give the hundred songs worth over three compilations some more time in review before confirming the songs I want to add them to the list, so this is no coincidence, I swear. Let's go back to a time. A time, where ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION ("Ajikan" from here on) was the face of J-Rock. A time, where Ajikan wrote and sang unique melodies and styles that will throw you away every time you come back to them. A time, where today you can still be impressed by their music.

(1) Shinseiki no Love Song [New Century Love Song]
I'll start from 2009. Klassic Note was still at its beginnings. I was still searching for an alternative voice in J-Pop and J-Rock. In the latter, Ajikan appealed to me quite well at that time. Following a wonderful 2008 they have given me they went on to create more songs which would pique my attention. In late 2009 came their latest single after the yearly NANO-MUGEN COMPILATION... a song with a very irregular mood though a standard beat. This song totally blew my mind on what to expect of alternative music, and thus was under the microscope. As you can hear, this song is not your usual verses and chorus portions as in this case, the verses are dragged well halfway into the song which is very typical of the music composition style (specifically Masafumi "Gotch" Gotoh) and the chorus are short. This eventually a memory of something to expect when you hear a new song which defies the usual pop rock music structure. The mood of the song specifically in instruments supposedly feels like bringing you to another world, as I truly recall the days where this was my mood and jam for months. I eventually lost interest in it though as I continued to find songs which are easy-listening, but I must say this has its unique features which will distinguish itself even amongst their own tunes.
Rating (in 2009): 4 stars (Average)

(2) Shiro ni Somero [Dyed In White]
As expected, this single was here because I didn't give the B-side. I must say my reason back then mainly was due to the mood of the song being totally different, so this sort of pales in comparison ("pales", "white" was in the title, get it?) to the topic song which I immediately gave. It was not until in March 2018 where I reviewed their latest best bootleg albums and this brought me back to the times where they were writing simple, catchy tunes which are typically emotional or just plain enjoyable. This was one of those enjoyable ones though, given the lighter mood of the tunes compared to the other in this release. All in all, the lyrics seem to hint on being interested in the female, and ways to not make her sad and advance himself, it seems, and I must say definitely not the easiest way to date a girl, so yeah, take the lyrics with a pinch of salt. Overall, it was the simple melody and nostalgic style (compared to for example, 2015 them) which made me give this song.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

Conclusion: All in all, I like this single. It was definitely a pinnacle in showing the world how J-Rock is in 2009, but sadly it took so long to appear on my shelf and I apologise for that. For setting a mood overall it isn't, but for defining what they are as being an alternative and as a generic Rock band that we can all like, this one is in the long line of releases which will show you the real them close to a decade ago, and for that, I think it deserves to be recommended.

-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note


(Phew! It's been some time since I wrote this. Been writing reports for my final semester I don't even know how to write it my way already. Or perhaps it still was.)


THE PACKAGE

This one I won't talk about too much since I don't remember very well, but suffice it to say due to its age I had to take this off from a storefront which was sourced online through buying service Buyee so technically I paid more than what I had to pay for TrySail's single back in March. *sob* Hey, I gotta commit to the cause, so here we are. Also, the CD case came with a big crack along the front cover which is half the reason I didn't take a photo of the front. I'll find a solution to fix this though (obviously buy one and transfer all the contents there, in case you don't know this can be done manually), and if I do I'll post an update here. We shall see.




To close this one up, I'm still working on #KN10YEARS still, and am thinking of now to compensate for the reviews I should have done like this particular release where you come back and complete it because of a later release (there are two identified as of now) so that'll have to take a while. Until then, look forward to the next more up-to-date review possibly trying to get the best single award in Klassic Note this year because I'm being too strict. Well, that or single releases aren't aplenty haha ok cya guys tomorrow

Are you technically considered a pedophile if you are sexually attracted to women who are childish or silly as opposed to kids?

Okay I'll not elaborate any further Mocho (Asakura Momo) is going to kill me for this haha no it's not because of her I swear!! lol

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #32 - Anime Extra

Hey.

It all went well, I hope. I expected a test though. It feels like an exam already this morning. Well, I'm not putting too much hopes on the job interview with the best prospects for taking me in (sorry cousin), but hey, I gotta continue to find jobs. That, and really practice my coding. I'm going to be lagging behind real good at this rate. Apparently people like terrible programming languages like C and Java ugh

Talking about disgusting stuff, this post is full of the opposite so yay let's begin

アニメ Asobi Asobase

"Did you poke her butt?" OMG teacher wtf are you thinking lol

I know I've purposedly watched this online (without subtitles) yesterday night (it's possible) but man watching this the 3rd time through is still funny haha. The new episode (#AsobiAsobase06) continues on the strong momentum of horror stories, butt play lol, Maeda and so on, so that's going to be a good laugh. Firstly, I wished I get to see these girls read Key of Solomon with Oka-san the previous time with this supernatural freak is amazing haha. Though ignoring that, the girls decide to investigate the disappearance of one of the members. Well, I mean, if it's not obvious for you even middle schoolers know this, but yeah, the one girl didn't get teleported. But hey, the truth is not far away as the trio approach the teacher to find out that... Oka-san has been lied to. Yeah, pretty much. Aguri, the one supposedly missing, is actually hospitalised for surgery, and yeah, I would agree with the teacher that if she didn't tell someone she probably doesn't want whoever it is to feel bad or be worried about her. So that's terrible, for Oka-san personally. I mean, I don't have to be in the supernatural to know about care and concern, and this sure is exhibited greatly to be one of the most emotional episodes so far. Next up, the android. Well before this, I feed bad for Hanako. Like really, falling back to the reality that she will never have at this point meaning that one will never achieve success because there's always that someone who will be better than her in anyway ie. having a boyfriend, is terrible on her mental health, I would say. Maeda comes to the rescue this time round since the other two didn't do too tell on their term papers (Olivia lol that's me irl) to provide her with a solution: an ikemen android who looks good as much as he sounds. Okay, it didn't last very long as its various flaws gave itself away, and Hanako quickly took care of it, though in front of her friends lol. I mean, it's real gross really, considering Maeda AND the grandfather lmao. Then, there's the haircut disaster. I mean, I agree with everyone here that Olivia has wonderful blonde hair (not my fetish but just general opinion) and cutting it would be a waste, but comparing to Hanako's hair it sure is hard on her on the hot summer day. So yeah, she decided to do it before really going to a hairstylist. (Note: Hanako did not refer directly to Olivia's sweat glands as written in the subs but to her armpit, which you can infer from there as it felt like the subs made it feel like Hanako gave it away which is not true) It was fine for the first cut on her long bangs, but after that it's all gone to hell. The teacher did come in to pitch a wonderful solution, and all will agree with me that Olivia looks cute in a hairband, but you know, acne. So... Olivia became substitute teacher lmao. Lastly, the girls play a game of "daikon nuki" (Trans.: Radish Pulling) where it's kind of a school sport in middle and high schools of Japan to... pull each other's calves lol. But yeah, the girls decide to give it a go. I like how the comments online (refer to first sentence of paragraph) mention how Kasumi managed to hold on due to the extra chest weight lol, and how Kasumi managed to pull it off (pun intended after I wrote the previous similar phrase) because Hanako is rather weak at this game, turned out to be like a life and death action show with typical evil grin on Kasumi and Hanako being pulled away like she's going to hell lol. All in all wonderful episode as always, and being able to watch this multiple times without getting bored is good evidence of how re-watchable this gag comedy show is.

If you need an image definition of "fugly" lol

If you need an image definition of "overkill" lol

P.S. I know Olivia is best girl because she is cute (she is) but man is Hanako great. She has everything: the wacky image, the more than over reactions, the singing I'll bow down to (may I refer you to her singing before Olivia cut her hair and the daikon song lmao), the fucked up butler/assistant/something... the right to be jealous of people with boyfriends lol also a good real life equivalent hehe that is Kino Hina-chan btw
P.P.S. I need some Maeda in my life not in the laser firing out of the anus or even talking about the anus (lol) but who can read my aura even if I don't speak #BestFriendGoals
[#HanakoTributeGIFs because I like this girl haha]

Me after I say something offensive to someone

Anime Me after I say something offensive to someone lol

アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3

"I mean, since you're about to die right here I might as well tell you the truth right now" yeah that's Levi if I wrote this manga lol

I must say, it's real easy to get interrogated in this show haha. It's not disgusting me to the least though, I've seen worse in the world of Anime. (Thanks, Kara no Kyoukai) The new episode (#AttackOnTitan41) talks about more progression, and of course, hunting down of the Scouts and specifically, Levi's squad. Two more landed in the hands of the squad, but instead of getting killed, they decided to help them upon learning of the truth. And Levi is right, there are too many people who do not know of the truth. (I like how we all know about it though I guess we're not within those walls) That, and the son of the Reeves who got killed by Levi's bro Kenny Ackerman (oops *looks at Mikasa*) took the courage to stand up against the Military Police, hopefully protecting the district I don't know for how long. Meanwhile, Levi's squad ambushed a campsite hopefully to gain more information about the whereabouts of Eren and Historia but to no result, and are probably going to meet another end once again. Amongst all this, Erwin has been giving in to all sorts of torture, but not until final judgement. Until then, let's hope next week will be a great revolt we will be able to witness so this tide will be able to turn things around. I mean, to not know of the truth is bad. We don't need stories to tell us that just look at reality and Communism, people. I'll be looking forward to what Erwin and Pyxis have up their sleeves next.

Thought Erwin deserved a thumbnail before he dies (hopefully not)

P.S. Apparently they did develop a new maneuver gear in the dark and not let it be used by the Scouts for some reason. Man, evil government as we like it haha

アニメ Tsukumogami Kashimasu

"You, get out" <= That's Seiji if he has balls haha

I kept forgetting that apart from these guys being real good at taking the gossip, they are also capable of creating the gossip hehe. "In the new episode (#Tsukumogami04) of #TheGossip" (I mean, you know I gotta) we're introduced with a playboy who's out to get Okou? How can Seiji stand back and not protect his stepsister, right?? You're right! *laughs* But it's more complicated than you think. "Let's go over everything we know." (Yes, that's a Goi impersonation right there) Story goes that the young master of Omiya is a playboy, or so the rumours go. But as with all stories, this one is also a misunderstanding. I mean, the guy keeps coming into the rental shop for a better reason than trying to look like that guy who liked Okou-san and is trying to pick her up? Sure Seiji, do whatever you like. But as with all investigations, just send a couple of items along their way and the tsukumogami will reveal to us all. We learnt a couple of terms from the Edo period along the way, and we found out that the guy isn't what was rumoured after all. Even his precious item's tsukumogami can vouch for this. Then why? So apparently in hosting events back then, it's hard to reject two things: alcohol, and women. Now you know why I'm alone without any friends lol. That, and coupled with the fact that he keeps avoiding the other guests by leaving early and paying the bill quick, he just seems to worsen the situation by inviting more people who will want to witness the rumour for themselves. Other than the fact that they'll never get to see it, the young master seems to be actually, shy about confessing his feelings for the other girl. So yeah, typical romance problems. And that's where the tsukumogami came into the picture. By spreading a rumour that the girl he likes is about to get married, this has picked up some of his courage to you know, try out romancing for once. Hey, a real episode where the little ones are of help haha I'll be looking forward to the next where... #RIPSuou?? I don't know man the ending was so vague!!! More next week I guess

This is the cutest girl in this Anime I Have. Ever. Seen.
(Sorry Okou-san!!)

To know if an Anime maiden is in love you zoom ALL the way in
(xD)

P.S. "People are trying to get their hands on you!" I mean, this show would be way more direct if Seiji was a man lol
P.P.S. "Let's go over things" That's when your boss has no idea what he's doing and keeps asking for your opinion just shut up already Goi lol




Sorry for the late post I was watching a livestream with Mocho (Asakura Momo) on it and I can't stop laughing at her silliness this girl's too cute. Memorable moments include her:

• Speaking while cracking her knuckles and blurting out the pain at the same time
• Taking forever to find Bolivia or something and she shouted "It's (in) Japan!!", and
• Saying the first thing that came into her mind when asked why her name was cute was because she was born by her parents lol

Yeah, I'll probably give her new single a listen next week when it comes by haha you know I will. Cya guys om Sunday then, or hopefully I'll dig up that single that I should have reviewed months ago and hopefully review it this year? I don't know. Haha bye

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #32

I'm not going to be as happy as I am (same as last week) because of another interview. This time, I was referred to by my cousin, so I don't want to disappoint. I know he doesn't mind but I do. Also, he said they (interviewers, or the lot of them) may ask for my 5-year or 10-year goals, which I don't have any? I just want to code, man. I don't have such goals to think about. I just want to work and live life with a paycheck already. Is that asking too much? Okay I better not say this tomorrow lol

Chances are tomorrow's post won't be delayed but if it'll do you'll know haha let's finish this early

アニメ BANANA FISH

Okay. The new episode (#BANANAFISH06) after solving the truth about that the title of this show is, brings us escalation to more problems and of course, politics that will make sure this show ends as spectacularly as you can think. Firstly, the trip home. Ash and the guys head for Boston, and meet their father and... I would say, stepmother. In search of the truth on the people involved, Griffin's belongings reveal certain people in the Army who might be involved in this, namely the one guy who shot the disabled man, and his address aligns with the one Ash was given before the last guy who blabbered this phrase passed away. In all good searches and peaceful talks and conversations, Dino's men would of course catch up at some point, sadly harming the innocents in the process. (#RIPJennifer) What happens next as they head for Los Angeles in search of the truth, hopefully not to be cornered by Dino but I guess we will after that one Lee jerk who helped Shorter out for a moment ended up siding with the East's biggest underground power? Well, we'll see how this goes. Ibe-san did plan to leave with Eiji soon though, and we know this kid won't leave anyways, but hey, it's gotta happen someday. Hopefully not half dead or dead like all the others. Then again, it's a killer's haven in America, so you gotta be careful sometimes. Guns are probably your only option to survive, unless you think bulletproof vests can save your damn life lol okay they probably can haha

iPhone X in a 90s manga serialisation? WHAT YEAR IS IT? lol

P.S. I seriously wondered if anyone here in the group will be a traitor or not. I don't know, guess not for now.
P.P.S. Here's some voice actor trivia right here: You watched this episode. You know of Jennifer, the mother that wasn't meant to be. She is voiced by yours truly, Kugimiya Rie. Man, seriously didn't think that her voice would be in this show.

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"Master of Kabaddi! Have you heard of 'Bloody Butterfly' before?" lol she good at Kabaddi that woman

[WARNING NUDITY CONTENT] Haha the new episode (#ChioChan06) shows us what best friends are for:  groping their asses when necessary so they go through the same sh*t with you? God, I love this show. We start of with the missing incident of Kushitori who, for some mysterious reason with no consequence to the previous episodes whatsoever, is training her Kabaddi skills in the middle of nowhere ie. the neighbourhood park, and not going to school. So yeah, Hosokawa-san got worried, the duo saw her with the Master? I mean, what did he do? All he did was <insert backstory spoilers here> and he was the Master? Okay, logic aside so the two can find her, Chio-chan pushed Manana to the front line in hopes of getting her back to school, only to ignite her obsession of ladies... eh what do you call that? Cranium? Again, once more like she was fasting or in like some monk training where fantasies are to be avoided? I don't know. It was funny to say the least. #PlotTwist when the Master revealed his true identity (oh, God) (if you need to know check out online video website tags for "train rape" lol) and somehow Kushitori understood her true desires? Yeah, she still likes to grope other girls, that's for sure. I like how Manana-chan was such a good target until I forgot the duo have a hobby of ratting out each other in any way possible so we only get to hear Chio-chan moan hehe. (Don't get me wrong I may not be Kushitori but I'm a male here) ("A true descendant of the Master himself" lol okay no I'm not a groper I'll never be) Coupled with Chio-chan calling Hosokawa earlier (did I mention about the BFF thing between the duo?) and her arriving just on time for the beast to feast upon lol, okay at least they had a wonderful game of chase. *laughs* In the second half because this one took forever which I liked lol, Chio-chan decide to do a surprise prank on her BFF again, this time, dangerously, using stealth techniques probably better used on like a commando soldier than a high school female student. So yeah, this one is staple on showing how much their friendship has gone to the recycling bin, picked up, recycled, and then thrown away again hopefully to be picked up again and recycled. You see, this is an evil cycle, people. Saying that though, I love such a thing because nothing is more pure in friendship than to f**k each other over. Al through this one I would say took a little too far now that they had to fake their name so that this random stranger who saved them from dropping into the river will not report them to the school lol. My only grind (as in ass lol) in this episode is the overuse of flashbacks. Seriously, always make me feel like it's their excuse because they can't fit another scene in hehe we know that production

The true value of friendship...

... that cannot be expressed in words lmao

P.S. "I want to grab some asses" lol I don't know I should be glad I think like Kushitori or I think I can have my life in the way of the Master lmao okay maybe not
P.P.S. Again, totally appreciative of the voice cast this episode (the Master not included) mostly because of the panting, the screams, and everything cheeky (yes for all of them) in between. I'm not going to point all of them out because by the time I do so you'll change your opinion of me and my fetishes- oh wait it changed? I'm so sorry (I need to consider uploading sound clips here tbh lol)
[#BeastMode GIF lol I can't stop laughing at this]

OMFG lol

漫画 K-ON! Shuffle

"Looks like she's really into a band she saw at Sakuragaoka High School" lmao oh damn the feels. Okay, in case you didn't know, "K-ON!" was a legend. It broke out as an Anime sensation back in 2009 of what might be the standard for many music-based shows to follow. But now, the original author Kakifly had a different idea. So in comes the next work, totally original, not based on anything before (well, subtle hints indicate they might be), with a different cast and setting, but the premise is the same: It's some girl who liked how cool band music is and decide to start a journey of her own. Before this series it's Tainaka Ritsu if you need a reminder (who dragged her friend Mio to quit her application for Literature Club I think, after reminiscing themselves a flashback of watching an awesome live performance), and this time, it's Sakuma Yukari, a spiritual successor to Ricchan but behaves like a 5-year-old. Basically, Ricchan if she is Yui-chan lol. Her partner, Shimizu Kaede, seems to be an easy-going person, going along with the friend since middle school unlike the one bassist we're familiar of. Clamped in with (literally) Maho-chan (family name unknown?) who is just an innocent classmate who is currently as of now, here to fill in the blanks for the light music (because they don't have clubs of this type, and) appreciation society who's main purpose does not contribute and aren't recognised by the school, contains only one senior. Satou Riko-chan here, seems to be enjoying her studying in this to-be-evicted location since she decorated it really well. Of course, drum kit included so Yukari-chan decided to have a go. That's pretty much it though for the first chapter (1) it would seem, so let's talk more about what we have seen. Clearly Kakifly-sensei wants to convey the point of being impressed by music to performing music once again, and in essence I think it has been fulfilled. The similarities between the series stop there though, as now we have a senior in our hands instead of a junior (Azunyan if you need a reminder), and... they technically aren't recognised by the school. Although this might just be a good thing since it'll take some time before they get together everything to be even believed that this club exists (it's November apparently), and they technically still need an advisor. Well, I assume they have a teacher behind this, but yeah, it'll take some explaining. I conclude this with a statement to remind you all that this is NOT the original work: bear in mind there aren't going to be any old stuff to remind you of (like Mio-chan's embarrassment, Yui-chan's stupidity) (okay maybe the latter) so if they don't deliver don't be disappointed. But be promised of something, that the girls will still be heading for the road to success as they attempt to form the next music band in Anime history. Hopefully. *laughs* I'm liking this though so I'll be reading this if it comes out.

Just a good reminder that everyone in Kakifly's world is kind

lmao but man Ricchan, you have inspired others good on you

P.S. To take things waaaay further, I imagine from the expressions of the chapter (in terms of role in the band) Yukari-chan will be the drummer, Kae-chan might just be a bassist ('cos why not?), Maho-chan I would guess... can we have a DJ? Lol I have no idea. And Riko-chan can take the vocalist role. Oh, we going to have a Scenarioart-like situation where the drummer is the lead vocalist? S~WEET!!
P.P.S. To take things EVEN further (lol this is just), I imagine from the chapter dialogue that (in voice acting based on actresses today if possible) Miko-chan sounds like a quaint Toyosaki Aki (probably not her cannot imagine that tbh) Maho-chan sounds like a generic girl voice so I don't know (we don't know much about her anyway), Yukari-chan sounds like a Minase Inori lol, and Kae-chan... man if you give us another Inorin x Oonishi Saori I don't mind xD

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Yeah I'll leave Kuraki Mai's new song for next week then haha I'm watching Japan livestream that stupid show which I'll review tomorrow (not the latest episode unfortunately) so let's talk about the other things I've listened to. I've confirmed on Survive Said The Prophet's new single which also means I'll be officially giving Anime "BANANA FISH" so that's good. On the other hand, I have doubts over King Gnu's new song which I'll probably give over next week I like the feel of the song but the verses aren't convincing me to give it tbh. Yoru no Honki Dance's new single is once again a wonderful listen just that I didn't give anything on the B-side. Then again, it's them at their best on the topic songs so I'll take that. It's been some time since their last release anyway. Finally, I took a listen to mouse on the keys and their latest album because I kind of missed them many times trying to find back the kind of style I can give on them but... nah, it's not easy after all. Sorry guys I tried. Then again, I did give these alternative music from Japan so damn long ago, and now... I only live for Anime? *laughs* Haiz, how shameful can I get...

Next week brings us wonderful Sambomaster's new single after a year of not releasing songs and despite being only one song on the two track single being new I may have to end up reviewing it so we shall see until then. Yeah, that's my plan for next week for now. Maybe I should go listen to more indie artists. That SUGARLUNG band got a chance to play on that rock festival this weekend so maybe I should give them another chance.

In Twitter news, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is going to release a new single which I think I mentioned before and Komatsu Mikako got her chance to be in Kuraki Mai's new music video which I must say is going to be a joy for her personally (FYI her relationship to Kuraki Mai is me to YUI back then, just that they both know each other *sob*). In other stuff, I did plan to watch live performances from a bunch of artists over the long weekend (there's a holiday here somewhere) (I mean, everyday's a holiday for me now lol) so let's talk about them. sphere's live from last year (yeah their latest reunion livestream reminded me of this) was as standard as they can deliver and I feel like I can give a couple more songs which I missed, but maybe I'll wait for some potential best album next year haha. Chatmonchy's last live performance streamed live in July at Budokan puts me in tears as it ended, so I won't say much about that. It's sad enough on 2011 already, and then this. *sob* Maybe I should watch that too then; I kind of skipped it because I didn't want to... Oh well. GLIM SPANKY's recent live performance at the famous big stadium was also pretty good, but hey, I didn't have any feel for their old songs so... oh well at least I enjoyed the ones I know of. I've been trying to give them songs though, but it would seem that maybe giving new songs would be easier. Sambomaster will be next week then. I'm not in the mood to watch today haha




Okay I'm going back to enjoy that livestream now so if you would excuse me. *laughs* Okay I'm joking I need to prepare for tomorrow the interview is quite early (well, 9.30am is quite early for me now lmao) so yeah I need to get my house printer running a bit. *sigh* I'm soooo going to screw this one up too cya guys tomorrow

[P.S. I notice in events like the above you just let your body experience instead of your soul because mine is already broken haha]

Seeing cleavage is like encountering a Schrodinger's cat experiment: it looks great but you can never see what is inside it. Good thing I have a good idea of what is within so there's only viewing pleasure for me.

Yes, talking about you, Uesaka Sumire. No wonder you get harassed from time to time lol. Putting you as my phone wallpaper is a blessing and a curse. And yes, I've seen what boobs look like without clothing. Specifically, without brassiere. You'll be surprised how deceptive cleavage is compared to... Okay I'll stop here haha

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #31 - Anime Extra

Hey! I'm going for an interview tomorrow. Wish me luck. Probably also will fail like, 2 minutes into the "interrogation" because I suck at my university major and any question they throw at me I'll just screw it up. So yeah, wish me luck.

You may notice, therefore, that my reviews for the Anime below may take a dip in quality (is there one?) so yeah, maybe you should take it more seriously? Haha I don't know like I don't know what to do for tomorrow too *sob*

アニメ Asobi Asobase

"Two of them graduated, one transferred, and the other was teleported" She WHAT??

Wow that took quite a turn, that pen to the other table. I'm referring to the animation btw haha. Oh and Hanako-chan? That's not Harajuku style that's more like arson style lol. The new episode (#AsobiAsobase05) has so many laughs, I just forgot I've got real life problems to deal with haha. Firstly, Hanako sets a restaurant on fire. *laughs* Besides totally summarising what happened, we need to mention a little bit more about... you know, Hanako's fashion style. I just hope this is not her usual style when she leaves the house it'll make the fire department really busy lol. Also, don't ask me how that happened but man, does indirect arson count as a crime? *laughs* Secondly, we're introduced with a new character. She is Aozora-san, and... she is suspected of being a futanari. Yes. That. (Don't search if you don't know I can't put the mature rating gate in front of you) Despite what might feel like it from her unusual activities in school, and the fact that she might be voiced by a male (no really, it is) (Edit: It's Yuuki Aoi btw no wonder), she apparently has perfect excuses which make her look like a normal girl who Hanako hates haha. But hey, we gotta wonder. Next, my favourite segment. We're introduced with another character Oka-san, who for some reason, just "lost" all of her members in the supernatural club she was in. So yeah, kind of a problem 'cos the club's gonna get disbanded by the school. She overheard the girls play an Ouija game board, and decide to join in. To add on, she brought her own game into the table, and it's probably the scariest hide-and-seek the girls have ever played. Well, spoiler alert because someone took away the doll of "Maeda" (lol) in the end so I wouldn't call that scary but Olivia and Hanako practically died so... we only need one more member to form back the supernatural club now? *laughs* (Aozora-san you want to join? lmao) Last but not least, ranked second in this episode, is the talk about having babies. I would say this got as far as Seitokai Yakuindomo level of wrong, and the teacher's involvement didn't make it any better, but thank goodness Hanako decided not to have kids anymore. The funnier things are the common knowledge questions we deem common aren't as common on these middle school girls. You guys know what a French Kiss is, don't you? I know, because it's a kiss between French people. *giggles* I mean, doesn't have to be both of them one of them can be like, the great-grandmother is French will do lol

No really what's with all the censorship using wiggly lines lmao

Okay I admit she was cuter than the cat because it looks RETARDED lol

P.S. "Did you girls not learn this in health class?" *shake heads* "Oh dear" lmao
P.P.S. Of course I know what a French Kiss people I was joking with you it's when you kiss with your tongues interlocked together yes they go that far don't believe me go Google it yourself

You guys know Olivia is best girl according to the Internet, right?
Now I know why hehe

アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3

"It's as if you are monopolising Eren's power for yourself" Oh so I assume you know what it is? Haha these idiots are so dumb

Wow that's quite a lot of truth to digest after one peaceful episode. The new episode (#AttackOnTitan40) talks about the story behind the government, and how the royalty came to be. According to most accounts from Erwin, Historia's past and the father, we can come up with a pretty good deduction. Allow me to paint the inglorious history for you guys. Story goes - as seen from episode 1 - that a century ago, humans were forced to be behind walls with the emergence of Titans. In there, they hid behind the walls while maintaining prosperity, keeping what's left of the human species alive. Well, at least they's what they tell you. We now know that the government of the Trost district/country/kingdom had to take severe measures to ensure peace within the walls. I mean, why be so extreme with its internal affairs? Why only do the Titans attack at episode 1? Remember there was total peace before that? So yeah, something must have happened with the government itself, and apparently, it was due to the then King who was not meant to be. At this point, the relation between humans in Trost and Titans felt more like a threat, but yeah, the current governing body is balancing between keeping its people alive and quiet while making sure they all don't get killed. Too bad with Eren that might not be possible. Eren's Titan powers might likely happen thanks to the new knowledge of intelligent Titans (read the eyecatch ie. image in the middle of the episode for details) where it is possible for a Titan to get stronger by consuming another. Chances are Eren's dad got hold of such a sample (don't ask me how) and "fed" it to Eren, resulting in his warcry-like Titan powers, which obviously could prove useful in battle. Considering this, the current government would like to of course, take Eren in and you know, NOT make him the superpower. You know, like, let him get eaten by probably someone who is within the walls and knows how to control that power already. Lastly, I'll end this story with supposed plans of Erwin and Levi's squad right now. Erwin aims to seek for the truth to the point of sacrificing for the greater good, and Levi... let's just say his cowboy-looking brethren is getting in the way. That, we'll have to leave it to next week. Man, this is getting exciting.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE KING? WTF HAPPENED?? lol

P.S. Society advice #40: Do not kill anyone in front of kids. Even if he or she is not one's family.
P.P.S. Also also, congrats on Hange taking the new role of Commander of the Scouts! Pity there wouldn't be many people left to command after this lol

アニメ Tsukumogami Kashimasu

"Just who is borrowing things from your shop?" Your husband, for starters. *laughs*

Wow! No introduction that was played over the past two episodes? That's new. Haha okay the new episode (#Tsukumogami03) brings in the new #TheGossip character (oh that's the new hashtag now haha) Nadeshiko, recently bought in by the Izumoya, by Okou-san since in relation, Sanae-sama who was the wife of the first episode victim lol and needed a change in apparel as all of them most of them are childish and rather inappropriate as a grown-up according to the mother. (Sorry ladies of today the women of the past were cooler haha) And this difference is mainly because (and I don't want to conclude this quickly but) the mother and daughter lacked the communication to listen to each other's concerns. So yeah, the mother probably gave in since the husband did not mind of the childish apparel anyway. And that is thanks to Usagi the tsukumogami and the comb, who was originally used for a mother to comb her daughter's hair. Sorry for sending that purple bat to go do scouting, but overhearing the conversation between Sanae-sama and Okou-san you gotta find out because it's #TheGossip haha God I love this show. Turns out that is of course, Okou-san's obsession for a newly released comb which she could not afford, so yeah, Seiji is still fine since the one handsome guy who the sister likes did not come back lol. Although that leaves us for more stories next time maybe, I would prefer #TheGossip to continue as is instead of going into the romance Anime direction haha. Sorry Seiji, you are not going to get any love from your sister lol. Also also, there are so many expressions in this show I can't even talk about all of them because the story of #TheGossip every week is so complete and good I have to share, so be sure to check out the most entertaining bunch of Anime characters I've ever seen in a decade. No seriously, Usagi (voiced by Iguchi Yuka) is great tbh. Also also (I'm Usagi now lol), we may agree with you Sanae-sama's mother on the rabbits origin about bringing luck in numbers but man have you not heard of Thomas Austin dear woman Australia is hating you now lmao

MFW my colleagues want me to do sh*t work but I don't want to be made use of

MFW my colleagues want me to do sh*t work but I don't want to be made use of

P.S. I mean Sanae-sama, Okou-san doesn't really have any females to talk with after the fire I assume, and you probably don't want to hang out with the woman at the red light district, so... *laughs*
P.P.S. Seriously if there's no YouTube and video games these tsukumogami are the entertainment I don't care if it's a part-time job I WANT THAT JOB PLEASE lol #TheGossip
[*narrating with a heavy tone* "TONIGHT, ON HASHTAG THE GOSSIP" lmao can't help but this seriously man the CIA series can't even compare to this]




And... that'll be it. Wow, that was relaxing. Thanks Anime, for oppressing my anxiety problems for tomorrow even though I know it's not going to change anything after that I'm just wasting time to get insulted tomorrow in my best outfit *sigh* Have a good night haha

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #31

Hey, I gotta send those resumes someday. Figured out this week was the week. Well actually it was just yesterday so I can avoid the sudden interview notice over this week lol. But I think I worry too much since chances there are many who applied so yeah I might be unemployed again this month my sis already is egging me to go do delivery service as temp job already HAHA NO NOT DOING IT lol

Real life aside, this week was... as boring as I thought. Okay, I did get my certification from a guy who had a wider grin than mine (FYI my default face is a frown) so that's great. But that was Monday already so I would say my happy days are over. Well, not unless you include Entertainment this week because we got quite a good run this week! Let's get started.

アニメ BANANA FISH

No seriously Eiji just go home we don't need another Skip as bait lol

So there you go. Banana Fish is [spoiler alert] just the name of the drug. I mean, why would you call out someone or an organisation when you're about to die? Okay not that it's got any relation to the new episode (#BANANAFISH05) because Ash is free. Well, conditionally free from prison. And after that, it's just a roller coaster of events that if you didn't strap yourself to your seat probably already died riding on that truck lol. Okay, the episode. Ash is out, of course, since he heard from Max, to get revenge for his brother's death. Big problem, because he thinks he can do it himself. Yeah try that when he's the largest gang leader and half the police will be watching his ass, he probably could do with some help. Surprisingly, Eiji wants to be on the ride. Going against his supervisor, he helps Ash escape from police interrogation and tries to assassinate Dino himself. Well, it sort of worked since it landed him in hospital but his own gang rival ex-subordinate Arthur is helping the old man, so he's not going to get an easy advantage. With some help from Shorter, he manages to at this point, render him immobile while he possible continues the search for the truth with Max, since he technically knows more than Ash himself. Problem is, he doesn't want to go home. Go home as in, the home he escaped out of. Now you know why he's so emo. Next episode will be what leads us to the truth finally, and knowing that [spoiler alert] Banana Fish is the drug name doesn't make it feel bad anymore. Problem is Dino thinks this will change the world. How will it do so? I have no idea. I mean, he can't possibly make a shit ton of this and pour it into the water inlet. Or can he? Okay maybe not that but you know, drugs are going to get a whole lot more... devastating on children's life expectancy? I mean I don't know ask Dino he's the one who took other people's kids

MFW I want to diddle kids so bad lmao Dino you're one sick old man

P.S. I haven't listened to the theme songs yet and they both sound cool, and great at further listen. Let's see if I can secure one of these to justify watching this show.

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"Even if there's an issue with the relationship, all the blame will fall on the teacher!" Haha Manana you have never been more correct

"I'm going to look into this" I mean you're going to be friends with them real soon haha okay the new episode (#ChioChan05) is still all kinds of weird, but let's go take a leak in the toilet. As much as I just bombed Chio-chan on her trip to school on the first part, it was quite an adventure. (I got turned on by the voice actress panting lol) (But seriously how softcore is this show lmao) Here's question even though it's totally revealed already: What would you do if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere searching for a toilet and your bladder is making sure you'll wet your pants/skirt before you can find one? You... firstly crawl. Yes, crawl, with every step and with care. Then, rush into a public toilet of the opposite gender. With ZERO regard of consequences. Then, act as if the toilet needs cleaning and get out through the back window. This is fully assuming you're skinny enough to get out of the smallest windows in existence. Lastly, create a diversion (this is purely depending on luck, and panties) and pretend something happened to you on the streets so no one will think you jumped out of a window. There, problem solved. No really Chio-chan, what's your problem- *shock* Oh. I am male. *laughs* (Here heavily implies I can decrease my SAN value just by finding a nearby bush) Next up, the true value of friendship. Here's a pro tip for you guys out there, because if you haven't shitted on your friends before, they are not your friends. To add on, if you haven't done the dumbest things together, you're not friends. As much as friendships can be taken down, the student council president Momo is going to have a hard time tearing down the relationship between Chio and Manana. Like seriously. As much as I want the Mamanachio song and dance to be a music video and soundtrack (it better be) it's... probably their best way of showing their friendship, considering Manana can't even recall Chio-chan's birthday lol. All in all, fantastic episode as always, and if every episode didn't blow your mind you could be as weird as these girls. Just... just wear some safety shorts, yes? It's Anime here so it's alright? I don't know man apparently next week there will be more lol panties I mean haha

Mouse over/Tap to see what Chio-chan is so happy about

She is more than happy; She is relieved. *laughs*

P.S. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your latest Ikimonogakari reference lol. Or is it a Naruto reference? I know the former only though so FUCK YOU NARUTO haha (this hatred will never cease, I promise you)
P.P.S. Here's a voice actor pro tip: Go (back) to the first mention of the Anime title and hear the voice. That is undoubtedly (if you watched BLEACH) the voice actor behind Madarame Ikkaku. I guess he's one of the guys who peeped at the girls' undies then lol (okay my bad he was the guy who entered the toilet because his bladder was giving way)
[THIS ANIME'S CUTENESS IN GIF!! And no I'm not posting the Mananachio GIF I can't even]

You gotta befriend that wild cat at some point in your life lol

[MATURE CONTENT WARNING] Haha hah ha *pant* *pant*

(Oh on a side note, the manga has concluded. Please, PLEASE give us an ending. We can but hope. *laughs*) (WAIT WTF THE AUTHOR IS STREAMING NOW??? Oh it'll be over when you read this but) (Okay I'll spoil it here the last chapter of the manga is very similar to the first chapter ie. first part of episode one but Manana gives that very reaction and Chio-chan knows the way around the road obstruction haha nice one)

アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san OVA

"Oh is that legend true? Now I just gotta trick that idiot into doing it with me" <= Takagi-chan's devil thought lol wait she is the devil

Wow that's the most desperate I've seen... who's that girl again? Haha hey guys welcome to another episode of teasing. And no, I'm not going to do my rendition of solving problems because it's the SWIMSUIT EPISODE yeah yeah haha. But I can truthfully say, Nishikata is happier without women lol. Okay, the OVA episode is about the water slide. And yes we do NOT have to mention how wonderful it is when a boy and a girl go down it together, but suffice it to say they will fall in love with each other. Haha, of course, it's our dear main girl Mano-chan who wanted to go with her... boyfriend Nakai-kun, so yeah, it got drifted off real quick though. Although I must admit same gender hanging out with each other seems way more natural though so I actually liked the girls' talk and stuff, but hey, the couples gotta go down the slide together too. So with Takagi-chan finding Nishikata they decide to (or well SHE decides to) spy on the couple to probably see if they are doing well or not and if all goes to plan. Of course even Nishikata did not expect it to be Takagi-chan's motive for bringing him up to the slide to they can go down together... well you know. *laughs* All in all, Yukari-chan's swimming lesson was a bust, and I wish her other two friends will treat her better. I assume it was a hard time convincing her to come to the pool, so... the other two guys only ate the whole time? *laughs*

The many faces of Mano-chan

The many faces of Mano-chan

P.S. God they gotta put that analogy in and yes I'm referring to the floating ducks when Yukari-chan is in the swimming briefing
P.P.S. Did Yukari-chan just take out her glasses and put them back??? Wow, so surreal lmao

漫画 Kuroshitsuji

Hmm... the new chapter (142) was totally worth the build-up up till now, to be honest. So, summarising what happened in all, other Ciel was resurrected by Undertaker after the incident which made Ciel Ciel form a contract with the demon to restore his past glory back for the family, but in this case I would say the older brother is trying to steal all of what he has right now? The shinigamis were about to fight until... guess what, the police arrive?? Yeah, plot twist, everyone. So yeah, the police found out about the incident, NOT the Phantomhive house. Not yet, not until the doors are open and the detective saw it for himself. That, and proof to back up who's the right heir to the household. Cue Elizabeth Milford. Yeah, that could've gone worse. So why did Elizabeth side with the other Ciel, considering the Ciel Ciel restored the house to its former glory although technically sacrificing the brother? I don't know if (the author) Yana-chan-sensei wants to walks us through this guilt ride but I suspiciously think so. Now it's more like me thinking that since Elizabeth technically knew the older brother better as in the flashback she would take his spot, but considering he's already dead and this boy over here is literally the only resurrected person Undertaker has ever done, where does this all put us to other Ciel's existence? Man, I'm not going to throw all the existentialism things on you this is the Anime world btw but I am going to say this: the majority will be by other Ciel's side. And what is Ciel Ciel going to do? Will he watch to see himself go down to the ground? Will he be evil enough (he isn't btw Sebastian is) to use the contracted demon to do whatever is required to continue to exact revenge for his family? Why not, I mean? But this one, it might be his biggest hurdle yet. (Oh please tell me other Ciel is technically dead so I can see him die again in piece, hopefully in pieces lol)

Introducing Othello, the weakest shinigami we've seen yet lol

P.S. To think about this in Sebastian's perspective (or actually the author's) if a shift of leadership in the Phantomhive household were to happen if other Ciel ie. the older brother takes charge, and considering Tanaka-san and Lizzy are on his side, the servants won't have much of a say and with Undertaker it is highly likely that Sebastian can be eradicated... that might spoil his and Ciel's contract for exacting revenge, so yeah, Sebastian will most definitely not allow that to happen, since it will impede the current Ciel's power to complete the contract. Also, the house is burnt down. Considering Undertaker's powers even if he brought back other Ciel back then he would not have the (demon) power to bring the house back up, hiring servants who will protect the master, and all the stuff that has been done till far to restore the family's reputation. How to prevent this eventuality (if possible) from happening though, I have no idea.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

In this week of Klassic Note, I suddenly reminded myself to go check when the Anime theme songs I'm watching this season will release, and heck have they released already. Anime "Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro" theme songs released last week already, but finally giving them a listen they aren't bad, as expected. So I gave them both. Don't ask for B-sides they aren't great. Also, I just listened to Survive Said The Prophet's new single for Anime "Banana Fish" opening theme song, and it's short, sweet, and I almost wanted to put their single on the shelf. Almost. 2018 me is not generous enough to give them this quick off the bat. I also took a listen to Shishido Kavka's new album(s) which also released last week and... the one theme song for the Anime with MIYAVI was better haha. Turns out her collaboration songs are better? Okay, doesn't say much for the album because most of the songs are also collaborations and I didn't give any lol. Anime then, Anime. Last but not least, I decided to give Uesaka Sumire's new album a listen after her full initiation into Apple Music Japan just this week with the new album in streaming too, and of course for the single which hit the ranks of Klassic Note last year. Turns out not crazily impossible to give because I even gave that Anime "POP TEAM EPIC" theme song too. Ugh, I'm ashamed to say that. With this song also I've came up with a themed yearly which will be released by the end of the year separate from the... I'm also ashamed to say, #KN10YEAR compilations which are not even in place. I'm sorry guys, feeling emo to get it done quick.

Next week brings us (finally) Yoru no Honki Dance's new single, and damn am I excited. The music video (preview) is pretty good in first impression, so I'm going to be looking forward to a release for a long time lol. I also have plans to clear my live performance archive because I don't like sitting in front of my computer to just watch lives so I will now, and it'll take place in the long weekend I'll have next week starting Wednesday/Thursday we shall see, but I'll put my impressions in Twitter if I can. To give you an impression of what artists are "featured": sphere (yes their 2017 live), Chatmonchy and their final live, GLIM SPANKY's latest live in Budokan, and Sambomaster's latest live.

In latest news on Twitter, Asakukra Momo's new single music video (preview) is out for listen, and... if I didn't see the music videos from one Tomatsu Haruka I'll totally fall in love with Mocho right now. So yes, I'm not. The song isn't impressive though. Tokyo Karan Koron will release a new album in October this year after like, 9 months so that's great, and (don't make me spell ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION every time, yes?) Ajikan will release their new single in September. No really, this was just hot off the press I just retweeted it go check it out. In other news, you should've read previous paragraphs to figure out that Uesaka Sumire's music collection is available in Apple Music Japan for streaming. AZUMA HITOMI will be in a new instrumental band (yes the one who legend-ed her way to the ranks in Klassic Note 2011) (and no not the same as "Hello, Wendy!" in which she was in a quattro with Niitsu Yui) by the end of the year, and Scenarioart has formed their independent label and artist management companies signalling departure from their music label Ki/oon Music and management group Sony Music Artists. Doesn't sound much but in preparation for their 10 years in band formation we might have more news to come. They've gotten themselves a fashion label, for starters. I'm for music though so no thanks? *laughs*




Yeah that's it for now. I can say that now because I'll be back tomorrow (hopefully, unless I'm so busy taking in interview phone calls lmao) for more Anime stuff I hope, and until then... I can't really say for sure if you are going to have a nice next week, but I know I am. Happy National Day, my country. *laughs* (I mean, you should figure it out by now where I live) (No really the answer's on my Twitter profile)
