The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #37

Hey.

I know every week I come in with a heavy mood, but I think this needs to be discussed with my colleagues because... I still don't know what I'm doing. Specifically, what I'm doing work for. Not that I have no goals (I don't though), but I feel empty. It feels the same as the time was in internship too. I might be too free. Not busy, if you need a better term. I don't know, man. If I can't take it, I really need to tell someone who is busy. I know I can do it. I can't bear a sad mood every week.

Even my emo days wasn't this bad.

Okay, let's get in and out my world quick. I still have to do this for tomorrow anyway.

アニメ BANANA FISH

"Former male prostitute, gang leader and murderer..." Wow this guy's got ALL the work experience in his resume haha

Hey, they do say all your need is one capable guy instead of rearing a bunch of noobs around. *laughs* (Am I talking about my workplace? Haha we shall see) The new episode (#BANANAFISH11) was quite the rise of the comeback, I must say. And with hope upon us, we can see how Ash might already be playing and planning his further action against Golzine. Firstly, tasking his remaining squad to gather information about what he needs to deal with in town. Mainly because his gangs were taken from him when he was... you know, busy with other things (see past 10 episodes for details lol) so now he has to take it back, even though it's technically not Arthur's but the remaining ones are those who have the balls haha. Besides taking a rest and having a great time with Eiji for some reason (hey why not Golzine has boys to play with why can't his stepson?), he also started the first part of his own plans to make sure he himself is self-sustainable, and hopefully out of reach from the lord. So yeah, he went hacking. Well, I guess it's not tough to hack considering he wasn't enjoying it when Golzine was doing him (ugh), so that's the old man's fault, I guess. Ash also got Max to help him out so he can get a place to stay, enclosed within a condo, near one of the places Golzine owns, hopefully to keep Eiji safe and easy to spy on maybe. So yeah, Golzine is going to have a rough time for now. Meanwhile however, he is tasking Arthur to take over his... crumbling empire (well his house was crumbling lol) as he flies overseas to settle things. That, which makes this a good last stand for these two enemies who probably should've settled amongst themselves like, before this series even started. That, and hopefully things go along their way. Max has something up his sleeve about protecting Eiji though. Also, Eiji himself can be a liability if he really wants to, so there's quite a lot to play here. We shall see then. The series has also been confirmed to be two-cour (as in seasons) announcing the new opening theme song, so yeah, this show is still here to stay. I want to see some sweet, sweet revenge, Ash. Make sure it happens. I want more shocked faces of Golzine this episode was just a teaser haha

Ash looks so cool this episode so here's a shot of him (not the one on his hand) with glasses (not the hand)

Ash looks so cool this episode so here's a shot of him with glasses (after killing someone in the subway)

P.S. I thoguht the guns guy is going to rat him out but I guess Ash does have some personal connections outside of Golzine's world, so that's good.
P.P.S. I like how Eiji talks about Ash's dual personality (the killing one, and when they were in bed lol) even though that's basically just us at work and outside work. Hey Eiji? We all have to maintain this balance, it seems.
[Because I had to talk about it as it's so weird...]

If you haven't watched this you thought these two were doing it
(Yes the one in the bed is Eiji btw)

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"So why are there wars when we have war video games?" Well Chio-chan, because those guys haven't played it before haha you know how much a computer costs in Afghanistan?? lol

Oh man this show is just... Okay, let's talk about what happened in this wonderful new episode (#ChioChan11) where we talk about Chio-chan and BO. Nope, don't relate them together just yet this episode has too many plot twists for us to just think of them as so. Firstly, Chio-chan's student life at night in a nutshell. I mean, I don't stay up late so I can't relate, but I must say at times she's too smart for herself, really. Because her mother is not strict enough and doesn't want to break her computer in her room (I mean, you have never seen my parents INTENTIONALLY turn off the power so I can stop at 10pm), she lets Chio-chan do her thing. The late gamer life is really great (I mean, I know Chio-chan is below average, but the animation department is really trying to push her body into our viewing perspective lol), she thought it was easy robbing banks as if doing it in video games wasn't enough lol, and... she still manages to go to school on time while getting some much needed sleep. Yeah, in case you need me to fill in the blanks as the Anime didn't, she left her place at 4am dressed in her school uniform, went to the temple, and slept there with a paper bag on her head so that Manana can wake her up. Still, it took a few hard whacks to wake this beast up (more on that name later), so yeah the neighbourhood probably knew (and got used to) that one girl who has been sleeping at the temple was her anyways. But technically, the game stuff inside the house, I can relate. Not the sleeping part though when I'm tired I go sleep haha that's the difference Chio-chan lol. Then, there's Manana's worry about BO. In case you guys don't know what body odour is, try to wait till your busy day ends and before you step in the bathroom, smell your armpit. If you are the 60% that aren't aware or are just using perfume to cover it up, go shower. If it persists, go see a doctor. I'm one of those who refuse to do any of them early in the morning so technically I'll make Manana and Chio's nose fall to the ground with that beast scent lol. Okay, but on Chio-chan first. If I didn't spoil you on why her armpit smells to Manana and she has to go through that much to realise that it's because of the house dog licking her underside, then you'll be glad to know all this logical thinking still doesn't beat smelling the other armpit lol. Hey, you gotta confirm, man. If your nose falls to the ground twice then you'll know she needs a doctor's consultation haha. Well probably for you too but hey you gotta help your friend since she helped you through so much. And you can go to see the doctor together too. *laughs* And nope, Manana-chan is not getting laid. I wonder if Hosokawa-san is or not considering she knows everyone in class apparently. I mean, how do you know the one guy likes pretty girls? *silence* Don't look at me, do I look like I know? Besides, it's not an easy question to answer, considering the classroom is more heated than that bank robbery which someone got 6 million USD alone in haha

That Pay Day 2 reference lol

This is the hardest I've laughed so far lmao

P.S. Now I secretly wish they'll make Chio-chan's voice actress (Oozora Naomi, for your reference) really play a video game that her Anime counterpart plays. (I mean, they already let her kill someone lol the director I assume) Any of those games, I don't care. I just want to see her fail catastrophically playing something like PUBG hahahaha PROVE ME WRONG NAOMI-CHAN
P.P.S. "What would you do if I have 700 million yen?" I would say for Momo-chan, "dagashi" or sweets probably will be the best answer imo. Refer to last week's episode for more information hehe

アニメ Asobi Asobase

*Quote about how Olivia's brother thinks the movie is awesome* Haha it wasn't awesome?

I know she thinks she's dead even though she wasn't but I wished she was dead lol okay she approved the movie anyway so I'll forgive her haha. On the new episode of (#AsobiAsobase11) whatever the f**k is this show because I need to be reminded of how stupid, silly and exaggerating the plot can go. And that just means this show can go anywhere haha. Firstly, Actually, this episode surrounds on the unknown yet super-ridiculous character of the popularists that you think Hanako would hate the vice-president of the student council, but yes, it's a slut. *laughs* Makeup too much for her own sake, she is second to the student council president, and is actually helping out to talk to the boys' school opposite the school to... I don't know. Initially it was to cooperate on the combined school festival, but the real reason? Haha I'm not so sure. (They are leaving this for another story involving an in-fighting amongst the boy school's student council members though) (See? I said there'll be a second season haha) Ignoring that completely, the vice president (as I shall refer to from here on), has even more problems than the president. (Does she?) Well, mostly surrounding the fact that she wants to go to the boys' school so badly it leaves the president to do all the work ie. approving club activities for the festival, is giving her a good time to escape the school's clutches and wearing her makeup so she can be the *the word that shall not be mentioned* that she can be while being a student lol. And that desperation does spread to the president but not really, as we quickly switch our attention to probably the best club in this series (yes better than the Art Club lol) which is the Occult Club. Proudly gracing her return, we now have Aguri-chan (I'm not using her nickname here) joining Oka-san in making some sweets and maybe cookies for the upcoming festival. I know, you have to have the creeps even though the taste is totally normal. Okay not that normal after Aguri mentioned about the special potion that her (probably evil) grandmother gave her to use when she wants people to be happy. I mean, I forgive her since she's still a middle schooler, and Hanako probably will know how to use the drug better, but still. They made some, gave some for that male teacher to eat, and... you can figure out what happened after that. *laughs* Lastly, the confrontation. Of many things. On the front, it's two out of the three girls asking for repeal on their proposal (that movie) for the festival. I mean, the president got enough shit for approving whatever the Art Club was doing with surrealism (if anal is surrealism I need to go to an arts school right now lol), so this one was definitely a flat-out rejection. However, due to a series of unfortunate events and the curiosity of the three girls, they got their movie approved. Man, it's tiring being student council. Especially the boys' school student council, if you get what I mean. Between butt lasers, two-faces, long and boring movie reviews like they matter (boom gotcha movie reviewers and Olivia's brother) I would say the vice president survived it all. That, and knocking someone unconscious. Twice. God, if I tell you she is voiced by the same person who voiced Oka-san you wouldn't even believe me.

*serious face* Yep, I'm not joking. Look it up.

Like seriously, if there was to be a mystery to solve, Conan can step aside because apart from its second reference in this series, Olivia makes of a good detective and I like haha oh I meant her in general not her lazy brain which has been actively used twice? *laughs*

Okay this is the best shot I can get out of this vice president

BOO GOTCHA haha UGH *pukes*

P.S. So... the six guys in the student countil in the opposite school were fighing over an overly-disguised makeup girl? Man, these guys have NEVER seen the three girls before haha maybe I'm not popular enough to understand this
[Let's celebrate the nicer things in this episode, yes? MY EYES!!! lol]

Cute girls making cookies never looked this good (here)

MFW cute girls can make cookies lol

漫画 MANGA

I guess not. Let's move on.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Wow this week is a whole lot of... nothing? Well, I still gotta find new songs to listen. It's Klassic Note, after all. I can't listen to one-week old songs. *laughs* ORESAMA's new music video is finally in after weeks of trying not to give a melody which is so 90s for some reason (I know, the beat's are still today's beats don't get me wrong) (maybe that's why the single didn't appear online), I decided to give Tachibana Rika... on her charatcer song on that game I'm still playing when I should've quit lol. Why? Because it's so dope tbh and I can't get it out of my head. And I'll never say sorry to her two mini-albums because they suck haha. (Oh, and a new yearly compilation is due since I got enough songs to group to this topic which I hate lol) tacica's latest single was rather disappointing to be honest, so I instead went to listen their 2009 single of which I did give the topic song thanks to one "Solanin" movie and its songbook compilation, back in 2013. That is, for my experience. I must say, this is the most typcial of experiences where artists are trying so hard to create melodies which won't be exact as others in fear of copyright? I don't know. Whatever the reason, it's making music compositions terrible, and I wish that will not happen to everyone. THE ORAL CIGARETTES and Yoru no Honki Dance are doing pretty well, giving us fresh melodies in every corner. Why can the other guys do it? Is that a problem that artists are struggling to overcome? I mean, I don't know; I'm not a music artist.

Next week brings us (hopefully) Linked Horizon's new single for that Anime which I can't even get my hands on the opening theme for some reason, and this time I might just give which will be my first since back when I first gave it and regretted my decision back in 2013. Huh, all the memories are from five years ago somehow.Well, I need a second impression. First impressions are dying out quick. Especially Linked Horizon. I'm really wanting to wipe my memory of their music style if they don't give me another good song haha

In the latest news, someone in negoto got married (oh well haha), Komatsu Mikako is due for another new single with an Anime tie-in, and Tsuji Shion's best album is due late October. In other other news which I TOTALLY don't care about, Earphones (Kouno Marika, Takahashi Rie and Nagaku Yuki get a mention here because their Tweets are fantastic) and TrySail (they only got the staff one) (nope, no blog posts as of writing) are due in Singapore late November. Yeah. I don't care at all. I mean, how much money does it take to maybe just talk to Ten-chan? FOUR HUNDRED BUCKAROOS?? Fuck off. I may not even be able to get her to sign one of those CDs I have on my shelf. Now that I think about it it's a real good idea... ARGH NO I WANT TO DO IT SO BADLY NOW lol no I don't what do you think this is? I'm paying just to see their faces? Well it's not that expensive I can just buy the day ticket or night performance ticket hehe

Also also, TIL embedding Apple Music Previews is now a thing:





Okay now I can't stop fantasising about talking to any of them, the six mentioned above. Okay maybe not Nagaku Yuki she not my type haha. *silence* Okay maybe not. I mean, if my enthusiasm for them isn't like that one guy who will bring someone's latest photobook for them to sign while donning on the cosplay of one of their roles... I think I'm already not eligible even if I HAVE the money to pay for talking to them for 20 seconds. Hey, if I do? Hmm... I mean, I'm working now, and I definitely have a couple of hundred bucks to spare... we shall see how. Maybe. Maybe this time. I avoided this a lot of times, maybe now is the time to do it. Then again, I'm not that invested in Anime festivals, so maybe not? Cya guys tomorrow then, and until then... finally took some time to clear my computer of hard disk space, but I have a feeling I need to get a new system drive this SSD is way too small to do Android app development. (Audience: お？) (Stop second guessing me please)

[P.S. And for once I don't care about F1 just happening downtown because I've got Anime to watch #AnimeIsLife haha should've told my colleagues that when they asked what I do on the weekends]

[P.P.S. Some Kouno Marika eating to end this week oh yeah I'm in heaven you can don't come to Singapore already haha]

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #36 - Anime Extra

Okay I'm still tired but at least I have one less show to burn my energy on because I'm real tired man. Work, man. Makes you not have time to do whatever you want. Whatever. You. Want. *laughs*

Alright let's get to it then I wanna wrap up last week quickly lol

アニメ Tsukumogami Kashimasu

"Hange's our only casuality" "Doesn't seem like it's too serious" Wow Erwin you jerk we aim for zero injuries, asshole. You call this not serious? Ever heard of workplace safety?? lol

The new episode (#AttackOnTitan45) continues on the transformation that stupid Rod Reiss being Titan now and can barely move despite being twice the size of the biggest Titans we've seen in this series yet. And that's not all. Eren did transform, but it was not to kill. It was to defend. And thus, Levi's squad gets to see another day. The others we won't care too much because we weren't given much details (I mean, Kenny kind of escaped with his squad), but Erwin's army came by, and now we're just watching a super large Titan crawl to the city. I mean, that's it, guys. We're done now. *laughs* Okay. Now, the details. And we were right: to think that Eren's dad was actually not a bad guy by trying to destroy the royal family to take the sacred Titan power, but actually to create a chance to "save humanity". I mean, if the term isn't familiar to you yet, at least by now we have a better idea of what it means to do that. So yeah, Historia kind of chose that option, to not be influenced by Titan rule, and to not be under the original royalty. Well, she is still technically a descendant, and probably has to take over the throne to complete the coup detat story, but still. She made a choice, just like how Eren made a choice to make sure eveyrone is safe. Along with all these brave deeds, Erwin now bears the responsibility to save a city of people, so we shall see how that can be done without evacuating even one citizen on the ground that the Titan is approaching. Eren is probably going to transform again, but hopefully that wall will hold up. Or not. We don't know. It feels flimsy as heck from previous attacks until this slowpoke of a Titan showed up lol

Let's be honest here: serious Historia is not cute Historia.

P.S. "But I still want to see my basement!" Oh no Eren you're not going to you're going to get eat up by the Reiss lol I mean

アニメ Tsukumogami Kashimasu

"And that is how I fell in love... with a man" oh I'm making the narration up? lol Gokui

In the Edo period just two ryo will get you a lifetime membership with a pawn shop? What a deal! *laughs* The new episode (#Tsukumogami08) of this wonderful series that is #TheGossip (let me get this hashtag out of the way first haha) brings us a tale we can't even talk about. Hey, I mean, we can, it's #TheGossip, mind you. Just that this time, even the tsukumogami can't help much in figuring out the past. Seiji's the smartest person in the area, after all. *laughs* Okay, the plot in a nutshell. The Omiya young master as I would call him from now, knows of some business partners. He was just worried of the one Hansuke who is so kind to him on anything and everything, especially when he's making friends and being successful ever since he appeared in the area five years ago. (I'm sorry to be writing in this perspective because I know of the plot twist and it isn't easy to not write as such) The man invited the people around him to a boat party, was generous, picked up lots of chicks... one would believe there are rumours about this man spreading far and wide, but it's because there aren't any which is making the Omiya young master worried. I understand that he may be scared of people being kind to him as he's shy, but this is more than that, so I'll forgive him. (He even dressed up as a thief how can that be shy?) Deploying the papparazzi army out from the lending shop thanks to that generous payment, the tsukumogami did not gain any valuable information (get it?) (Probably not even worth one ryo lol) not because people don't talk about his past, but actually that he doesn't have any. Pair that with Gokui's story about his item being used as part of a sad love story, one would believe that Hansuke might be that man running away from his problems. But plot twist here because I'm a kind person to warn you guys about it... he was the ex-wife. WHAT~!! Yeah, Hansuke is a cross-dressed male. That would explain how well he was grilling seaweed - something that females were typically better even considering he had a family background catching seaweed. That would explain why he was generous because you know, women spend money like water- Oh that's not it? *laughs* That would ultimately explain why he is so kind to Omiya young master, for he likely fell in love with a man who is in happiness maybe. Hey, a man's gotta find some way to be happy somehow. *laughs* Okay, this is getting weird so I'm wrapping up. *silence* You think the tsukumogamis will get to know of the secret in the boat? I mean, if Seiji does not keep it well his next boat trip will be his last lol

The best faces this episode I can't even *laughs*

The best faces this episode I can't even *laughs*

P.S. Casual dressed Ohana and Okou-san are too cute hehe this is what I watched this show for
P.P.S. THERE'S A LEAD TO SUOU'S PERSON?? Man, I gotta stay tuned to the next exciting episode of... well you know. *laughs*




Cya guys next week (Audience: もう？) (Yeah, I'm tired already), and until next time... I wish I'd treasure my Cowon player more than my smartphone. I know I have a 32GB phone so I can stuff all the songs I need now which I didn't, and there's still Apple Music, but still. The freedom on that player without worrying about mobile data plus that super long battery life (~200hrs to be exact) is still unbeaten. I need to get back to it someday. And in order to do that, I have to add stuff in. Maybe Bungo Stray Dogs, I guess; I miss a lot of that action. Okay maybe not coupled with the long-winded drama of that pussy Atsushi but still lol bye

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #36

Wow.

If you saw this at midnight that's because I decided to have a nap on a Sunday afternoon forgetting that I have a movie to catch up and I have to watch live Anime from Japan at night. Man, that was quite a run. Sorry to myself for not deciding to not give up on any one of them so I can sleep early and not doze off at work tomorrow lol I wouldn't to be honest it's an open office setting it's impossible to sleep haha let's start

アニメ BANANA FISH

"The only thing they long for is freedom" Yeah right freedom from your hands Golzine you sick fuck haha why is it always him? lol

Hmm, that was quite a development. The new episode (#BANANAFISH10) and if I may say is only getting better, talks about what happened after the experiment. Shorter was obviously dead (RIP) (and damn did they operate the shit out of his dead corpse), but Golzine has something to attend, and that gives everyone the perfect chance to do whatever they need to, well, save people and escape apparently. Before it got to the Papa's ears, the China boy managed to give Ash a chance to escape with his friends including Eiji, Ash's gang came to save him along with Shorter's gang who now has a new leader, and the China boy himself... let's say he has some plans up his sleeve. The bigger thing is when the scientist - who has been disabled by the needles - mentioned about him taking all the drugs. I mean, we know that anyone who took the drug wouldn't do anything else but bad things with it, so hopefully that doesn't turn out to be a zombie apolocalyse case where everyone will be finding Ash and killing him. I don't know man, the possibilities are infinite with this one. *wink* On other things, the animation is terrible especially when zoomed out - you want to measure the proportions of Ash's figure against the rooms in the mansion that are ever-changing in proportions? I don't want to screncap that because it's really bad, but hey, the action was pretty good. Not the violence though. They showed bullet shots in the head real good, you can't even unsee those scenes now. What next to happen? Revenge on the papa, probably. Now that everyone pretty much is safe and out of the hellhole that is Golzine's mansion, we may be able to see a comeback on Ash's position to... well, I don't really know if anything else he's planning for besides revenge, unless he also wants to put the drug on Golzine to make him kill little boys that he so fancies haha I mean it's only Ash and Eiji for now right? *laughs* Oh no old man we can't have those people dead so you kill yourself, yes?

A decent comparison of Ash crying as a kid and him... not as much of a kid

A decent comparison of Ash crying as a kid and him... not as much of a kid

P.S. "I mean, technically that scientist there killed your gang leader Shorter; I just shot him good with my gun" lol if I was Ash haha

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"She's basically trying to find me, right?" Yep. Chio-chan, you're right. *laughs*

So Momo-senpai has feelings for eating sweets the same way I jerk off at home? *laughs* Okay, the new episode (#ChioChan10) talks about sweets for some reason (I mean, this isn't that sweets Anime series, okay?), the reunion of the Andou siblings and the truth, and a touching story between Mayuta (yep that's his name, that Andou) and George. Firstly, the sweets. Shinozuka Momo, the school president, is troubled over why she doesn't understand why kids want to smuggle sweets and snacks into school (termed as "dagashi" in general), and if you don't understand Gotou-sensei's analogy like me, you'd be pleased to know that the pair will be here to help us get... whatever Momo-chan is trying to get. Instead, we're kind of brought in to the reality of Momo being really enthusiastic even to the extent of crazy, over sweets. And without stopping her, they went to a sweets shop and ate all the stuff they can handle. That, and they probably allowed Momo-chan to go on character overdrive lol. I mean, the only thing these girls are going to get is get fat from all the sweets they ate lmao. Next, the return of the legend. Well, just in talk. The real legend is dead. Right, guys? (#RIPBloodyButterfly) So yeah, we finally knew in detail of the relation between ex-gang leader Andou and shove-fingers-up-your-kid-ass Andou lol, considering they are siblings 10 years apart. Chiharu, the kid one, got pissed of at finding out that her brother lost her coolness (apparently what influenced her to go to a private school for some reason) (so she can do that fingering thing during their break?) (I wonder what she would be like grown up, Chiharu-chan haha) (I may want to date this girl HAHA) because he got done by the legend who is a girl on the street, and of course found out somehow that Chio-chan was the culprit. Instead of settling things on the spot in front of the sister, the two probably ended up getting closer than ever before. Physically, I mean. *laughs* MVP for this scene was Manana when the ass-beaten beast comes back for revenge and is stopped by the brother, so all's well ends well? I don't know, this show's too complicated haha. But man, did the hits from Chio on Mayuta fail so badly lol. Also, BURAKON! BURAKON!! BURAKON!!! Haha Chiharu-chan you innocent girl. Lastly, a heartwarming silent story about Andou (Mayuta) and George, that one cat we've seen in a couple of episodes. It's good to be filled with some backstory, and again didn't expect silent stories to still hold up this well here. For storytelling purposes, this Anime has done it well. Just, don't stick your kid fingers up my anus, yes? I don't study in Samejima High School. *laughs*
[I can't show anything in the Andou sibling scene so here's a couple of SFW thumbnails lol]

Happiness is...

... wishing that someone would make this a messaging app sticker haha

P.S. To be frank, I want someone in my life to go "Stop working!!" because seriously I don't wanna haha
P.P.S. I would like to bring your attention to how ridiculous it is with the sizes (not talking about Chio-chan's chest here, sorry) between the Andou siblings because man it really looks like I'm watching some pedophile holding an underaged or those monster hentai haha I'm sorry
[Because this in a GIF looks so good]

Happiness is... when you stuff your Anime self with sweets and you don't get fat haha

アニメ Asobi Asobase

"This is random but I want them to say poo" Yep that's real random Hanako lol

"If you're talking about the illustration above your head" Hey Olivia you're breaking the 4th wall here girl haha. Okay, the new episode (#AsobiAsobase10) someone did a reverse Olivia, Aozora did a Kasumi, and Kasumi did a Hanako?? Wow, this show has everything. *laughs* Firstly, about Fujiwara, that girl who represented Olivia who cannot speak English to speak in an English contest, now knows that this girl can't even speak English even though she was English at some point. Oh well. *laughs* But man, do I speak Japanese like she does. (Nope, not going to do it here so just imagine it yourself lol) (But really, I do that in that one Japanese mobile game I'm playing when I'm bored haha) Not that I would want to interest you to this newbie apparently (she's not listed of the role yet as time of writing) but man her English is not bad. I mean, the voice acting. Otherwise, you'd be pleased to know Fujiwara speaks Japanese as badly as Olivia does with English, so she mixes her bad lingo with the language she is confident in speaking. That, and she may have already known and confirmed that Olivia really can't speak English. As Hanako said revealing to anyone would be a good thing, but now I guess to Kasumi at least it's being used as a threat to do anything whoever knows of it wants, I guess. Don't ask me why Fujiwara wants to go on a date with Kasumi with that of a face lol, but Aozora-san saved Kasumi so we don't have to see it happen haha. On the other hand, Aozora may have helped us confirm her gender? Which brings us to part two. Apart from Hanako wanting the others to say poo lol, Kasumi keeps thinking about that one kiss to her lips because the other person was... maybe a male, and is having bad dreams about a revaling d*ck. For the sake of censorship in an Anime which doesn't do it (well, for most of the time), they did make a lot of puns around that forbidden word during their Home Economics class, and Kasumi not being able to hold it herself, decides to ask her friends to help to discern once and for all if Aozora is indeed female. Well, it didn't go as well, and they kind of mssed the part on the Banana Book, so... that's their problem. *laughs* Adding on to that, I think the ending for when Hanako and Olivia re-enacting the ideal crotch-looking scene is evidence that it won't be possible to check that for Aozora-san considering she would be wearing safety pants too. Yeah. *laughs* Lastly, Kasumi takes the stage again (this show is all about her too) but as a director, so she suddenly becomes as sarcastic as Hanako for some reason, taking scenes of space humans and a sexy spy alien (I'll f**k a sexy spy alien you know what I'm sayin'?) and hopefully it ties up all together wonderfully like the Star Trek series? Sure, Kasumi-san. All in all diggin' that sweet-a** poster lol, and if that's a not at all cryptic message about this series getting a second season I'M IN!! No really, may this Anime never end just like how Kasumi's thoughts about that kiss haha

I can't show most of the stuff said so here's alien Olivia tied up and screaming haha

I can't show most of the stuff said so here's alien Olivia tied up and screaming haha

P.S. Olivia, behind the scenes of those shoujo manga, Hanako is actually referring to hentai anthologies. You don't know about them? Oh it's just me? The brother didn't intro her to that? Oh. *laughs*
P.P.S. I like how I know of "chinsuko" thanks to one deranged Anime that is Seitokai Yakuindomo and its OVAs haha thanks Yokoshima-sensei for the OG Okinawa joke lol

漫画 A Channel

Ah, the joys of hanging out. The new chapter (107) talks about Miporin, one of Tooru's classmates (the one who's not an a**hole?) and her going out with the others. Well, she's not feeling well though so she tries to cover it up, but as Tooru said if you don't feel well take a rest, man. (I guess she hasn't started the work life yet so she doesn't know how good that feeling is lol) I mean, if you thought she had a fever thinking about Tooru too much you got another thing coming. *laughs* But hey, one can think, right? The problems when you study in an all-girls school, you can only think about girls lol

We're watching, Miho-chan. Just saying.

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs: DEAD APPLE

Wow, what a movie. I hinted last week that I'll be reviewing this, and here I am. Gone is a series of Anime so worth watching this was the first fighting show I've watched in years since "BLEACH" ended, but came is another production with nothing else but fights, stories, and an overall created plan that is better than the plan which resides it. Thnaks dear author, for we got another wonderful story and production due to your extra effort. Coming from the original Anime series, this was an original filler content talking about a different story in the current era paused in the time of the Anime I assume, and spoiled of some of the future content which would be present if I read the original work. Again, talking about this in three main segments. (1) How this came about, (2) the story of what it is, and (3) how good was this overall considering I've only watched animated adaptations of this work.

OKAY WHO POSTED THIS SHIT lol another Singapore reference

Firstly, why I'm watching this. You guys should know I watched this series; I talked about both seasons of it here. Shortly after the end of the second season (which was awesome btw; remember Izumi "sword bitch" Kyouka became one of them after the President Fukuzawa "you're ma bitch now" Yukichi activated his ability?) came an announcement of an original film which will present more awesome content that we wish we didn't ask for, and here we are. Aired more than half a year ago in cinemas, I finally got my hands on this and decided to give it a go. Hey, I have no expectations, so this did blew my mind away.

Ah, the nostalgia haha
(All screencapped from the movie I swear)

Ah, the nostalgia haha
(All screencapped from the movie I swear)

Secondly, let's talk about the story of this in a nutshell. Man, this is going to be hard to summarise because I'll talk about that later on how the author condenses content based on assumptions and inferences, but suffice it to say it was a story of the past. Actually, of the dead. History goes that in the Dark Ages (if you can recall, the one policeman died for it, and Ozamu "ISNULL()" Dazai changed sides after that) (that's a SQL programming joke) there was quite a war of the Ability users, so the organisation governing the users decided to use a last resort, training and supposedly deploying the one Ability user Shibusawa "911" Tatsuhiko (sorry America) who can possess all powers to turn against each other, in order to end the fighting. Fast forward 6 years later in the Detective Agency (if you recall it was 5 years later Dazai left Port Mafia) and this became a recurring problem since the one Ability user felt empty after being used, and now is seeking the Abilities of others, I guess. His motive isn't that clear, but I'd like to guess it's just trying to fuse all the powers together for something. That, we didn't get to. In comes two collaborators who decided to help him further his cause, even though more likely they are to betray him at the right time anyways because... he's dead. That in a moment, but the two are Dazai (I mean, he gotta) and Fyodor "chaos starter" D, apparently a Russian Ability user (man, we gotta cover that after those in America came in?) (Wait, the English too?? This is actually reminding me of "Shakugan no Shana" tbh) who is also leader of the underground group there, has an interesting Ability to "punish" the powers of others. That, may not be clearly shown in the movie, so I guess he gets to release the powers of those who have lost them in order for them to be duly taken care of? I mean, that doesn't sound like anything good because he was technically the culprit for everything considering the one Shibusawa is already dead. How is Shibusawa already dead? This brings us to our main guy Nakajima "weretiger" Atsushi (yes I'm going to do the nicknames till the end) who has a past. A past to not be mentioned. Well, it was revealed in this movie. Turns out he was tortured by the occupants, which actually turns out to be Abitlity users who wanted to take away his power through any means possible considering he's an attack-based Ability user. And the one who did the deed, surprise surprise, was Shibusawa. In a strange turn of events, instead of taking away the ability, Atsushi took back his Ability and killed the man who tortured him. So yeah, that guy is already dead. I don't want to guess how exactly he came back, but according to the movie his Ability took over his existence which explains why "he" felt so empty, considering the body is already dead as shown by the skull on the table with the three tiger-slashing scars. So, the whole stage is set by the two collaborators and the undead I suppose? Yeah, to take all the powers from Yokohama (it's like they invited them for something) similar in direction to what the Detective Agency was recently tasked by the organisation but different in execution. Well, it's gotta happen somehow. After realising what was to happen, and at the right moment, Dazai and Fyodor took quick action to steal some of the powers in order to put an end to this crazy phenomenon. In order to do this easily, they have to be friends with Shibusawa in order for him to reveal the den which keeps all the Ability-condensed crystals safe which was meant to "create the crown". That, they didn't bother to do, but they did intend to stop this by using some of the Abilities and with Dazai's nullifying Ability and that will be able to... I guess stop Shibusawa's Ability in range and power by making it unstable. You know, suicide just like he loves it. *laughs* Okay, so with Shibusawa's Ability he thought by getting rid of Dazai following a bunch of betrayals he will be able to, hey, bring back his memories which was his real intention but he can't. What he did know of though from Fyodor, was the story that we mentioned that is from Atsushi, and the fact that he's dead. It probably didn't mean as much to him as to Atsuhi as he struggles to get his power back despite being able to defeat him quite easily with the help from Kyouka and Akutagawa "Gengar" Ryuunosuke despite them being in different leagues from each other at this point. You know, collaboration is a common thing in this world lol. Also from the Port Mafia team with others nowhere to be seen, Nakahara "Magneto" Chuuya, who has been around back then with Dazai, knew of the problem, took it to his own hands to confront Ango (he doesn't get a nickname here because he has no Ability) about the situation, and of course, took it to his own hands to take care of Shibusawa himself. Well, he was half the equation as he was only able to stop the Ability user as seen released as a dragon considering the disruption and "death" executed by the Russian user. That, and then for punishment, that idiot Fyodor gave the skull power in order to revive his memories and settle things with Atsushi once and for all, I assume. Well, it was all a big fight, Yokohama's citizens came out unscathed despite the huge amount of damage done to the place and the fog that surrounded the place lol, and peace was restored. Good job, guys.

Badass bike-riding like you've never seen before until you're reminded that this guy controls gravity lol

Lastly, what was awesome. Hey, we got no capacity to talk about being unfamiliar, as the movie made sure to create an opening to introduce everyone and everything such that even the noobest of viewers can get a grasp of what happened. Although I would like to say even watching the Anime I still don't get most of the stuff even WITH the intro. Haha should've watched back a couple of episodes before watching this lol. That, and we immediately jump into the story. Feels haphazard, but still really well written. I only felt that it was as cliche as any movie out there was at the last part of the battle because it was obviously just there to satisfy Atsushi's burning desire to kill haha okay jkjk that one was just extending the fight so... the fight with Akutagawa was longer (and better) haha. I also like some of the potential spoilers leaked in this show ahead of original Anime content ranging from Mori "kid dresser" Ougai's Ability manifestation in the form of Elise-chan in case you guys didn't notice that in the Anime (I didn't) to that one woman who works for the organisation. (Thanks Takahashi Rie; your acting was great lol MVP haha) I also appreciate the simplicity in resolving most of the problems besides the psychological ones because Atsushi was created by the author as an idiot lol. The simplicity explains the solution to fighting their own power which was that gem, and fighting each other's power will return back the power. Which also explains how after the fog only one Ability user was killed because the guys were always dealing it alone. See? I knew the author was a genius. (He wrote the script for the movie btw) Other things which are less understood in the movie are the English Abitlity users and whatever that incineration Ability was we don't want to know lol, but hey, they don't have to interfere since it got settled. But all these show potential spoiler for those who have watched the Anime but didn't read the manga tbh and I'm looking forward to them making more of this series already.

Aw this is the cutest thing ever hehe

All in all this movie is amazing as it sounds (okay maybe not the new GRANRODEO opening because it sucked haha) (the soundtrack was cool though), and boy am I hyped to be enjoying this show once again. Can't expect more from this show though, as I'm just going to feel bad picking on the minor flaws for the show not explaining it blatantly the situation and resolution, but that's all fine. The ever-changing scenes coupled with some level of reflection and fighing makes it all of what Bungou Stray Dogs was and will become. And for that, I salute to the Ability users who have to risk their lives to secretly keep the world safe. I like these kinds of shows, actually. It makes me feel good without having to exercise or do charity lol

MVP this bitch haha now I want to work with Ango lol

P.S. "A sea of white and nothingness" Man, you need to get out more bro lol (Well it's not going to be possible considering his illusion-based ability but still)
P.P.S. "That time will come" You mean the time you'll have friends? BOOM GOT HIM and myself too actually lol

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Can I just do this tomorrow? No? Okay, real quick then, guys. Aimer's new single wasn't that impressive to be honest so I'll be taking the latest preview I've heard of which is the first out of the three topic songs of her latest release. (Really? Triple A-side single?) Tomatsu Haruka's new single which was intended for her 10th anniversary as a solo music artist was a real disappointment even though I've a feeling I may come back for this in the future, and I finally got a listen to Porno Graffiti's new singles for the year. I'll take the latest single topic song then. The rest aren't that memorable to be honest. (Surprise surprise, it was a Pokemon movie theme song, no wonder)

On latest Twitter news, some news outlets are spreading rumours about RYTHEM forming back after Yukari-chan (aka yucat) posted an image of them singing in karaoke online lol, Tsuji Shion is coming up with her first best album since her debut 10 years ago (wow) (just wow) (how many songs was that?), Kalafina is coming up with a new best album collection because they know the group is not going to hold up any longer (RIP Kalafina), KANA-BOON's 2nd B-side album releases in in two weeks time, and Asakura Momo debut album releases in October. Yeah, that girl. I suppose thanks to her new single the momentum will bring many (not including me) to get the album too. Sure, this girl's music career is going to be better than her voice acting career. *laughs* Lastly, if you haven't figured out how I can review their songs lol, Porno Graffitti's music collection is now available in major streaming services including Apple Music Japan shortly after SID announced theirs weeks ago. Thanks, guys. Really aprpeciate it. You guys are making my yearly subscription worth every dollar every year that I sign it. *thumbs up*




Okay I'm real tired now and I haven't played that game that if I don't play now I'll be screwed for tomorrow- Oh, I can play it tomorrow morning I guess. *laughs* Cya guys tomorrow then, and hopefully by then, I won't be this rushed for time. Have a good midnight lol

The changing of traditional mindset feels like an event within itself: You change for the better knowing that you'll lose something that holds dear as part of history.

Oh, no one thinks like that anymore? What era am I in? But seriously, guys. Remember the past, stay in the present, anticipate the future. Change, but not forgetting your roots. Radical change isn't part of human adaptability anyways.

Narcissism is a very important trait you should have to keep yourself alive.

No really, if you don't like yourself, it's hardly any chance you make anyone else like you, or in reverse, you'll make anyone else around you happy. Think about it. If that's how love works though, I'm afraid I'll have a long time making this work for me because I don't like myself.

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #35 - Anime Extra

Hey!!

Thanks to my efforts of staying up a little longer for that other Anime, I've officially made this post a whole lot shorter and boring. *laughs* Okay both shows here were awesome to be honest, and I may just switch back next week if I wouldn't have to stay in the office maybe. Well, I couldn't even make that promise to my mom for dinner, so we shall see. *laughs*

Let's get to it!

アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3

"It should'nt have happened" I mean Eren, then this show and those two movies wouldn't exist THAT'S NOT HOW YOU MAKE MONEY BRO haha

Just a good reminder Historia, your dad didn't explain two things when he took out that syringe and otherwise Eren would want to warn you about, but hey, she doesn't need to know. Poor girl. The new episode (#AttackOnTitan44) is blessed with much-anticipated action (I WAITED 43 EPISODES FOR THIS), and what that old man Reiss did not mention is that Historia will become a Titan which will drop her from being the cutest girl in the series to being the ugliest in the series lol, and... it's going to be painful, no matter what happens. And it sort of did. Well, let's talk about the action first, shall we? *laughs* It was awesome. It's all the omachikane-screams all over for me, I tell you. From Levi's squad creating a strategy to not lose out to an opponent force triple their size, knowing about opponent weakness and taking them out in the smoke, Levi vs Kenny... I'm pleased. Hange died a heroic death. #RIPHange but hey, that's quite a lot of opponents taken down. Too bad it's not enough to intefere with the things happening deep within the cavern yet. Rod Reiss tells the holy story of how Titans came to be, and has always believed, like his ancestors, that this royal line will carry the power to control and keep humans alive as a race. Not wrong, but there's the history wipe thing. So yeah, nothing gets remembered outside of the past century besides the one who had the power to erase them, namely Frieda, and potentially, Historia. And as with all last-minute climaxes, Kenny may have anticipated for the ending he hoped: For that little girl to change her mind. Letting Eren off his mouthpiece, and even though Eren said it was all his dad's fault for starting everything so he wouldn't fight back (not wrong, his dad's the worst, and the reason why we're here), but even so, Historia wouldn't do it. Why? Because of one best friend that will live in her heart forever: Ymir. To live her own life, she chose not to obey the legacy; To defy God, to create a path and name for herself as being the one who is the troublemaker and also the one who will change history forever. Well, technically if you can get rid of the summoning power than this world will eventually be in peace. (Eventually haha) Not satisfied by the daughter's decision, Rod chose to take this matter into his hands even though Kenny thought he was a puss and he wouldn't do it himself (but I must say it's better that the new generation take the legacy so it can last longer than if that old man did it and we have to do this ritual in like, 5 years time again lol), and now we have to fight. Well, Eren has to since he's the only one who will be capable of handling a Titan royal descendant? Fingers crossed for Eren and the others; This one was already fated to be a bumpy ride.

When it's the annual body checkup and the nurse tells you to draw blood yourself lol
(As someone who fears needles this episode creeps me out)

Thought this woman deserved a thumbnail
Dear Frieda, Historia has let you down.

P.S. I mean, really Historia? OMG You could have at least wipe the floor off that liquid first haha wait YOU ONLY HAVE TO LICK IT? What's with the syringe??? *laughs* Give it in a cup next time, okay- Oh there's no next time? lol
P.P.S. God, I need to have the soundtrack for this season now DID YOU GUYS HEAR THE SONGS IN THE FIGHINT SCENE?!!! *thumbs up all over* Reminds me of the first season already hehe (<= after clicking the link, hit the play button on the highlighted track to re-live the awesomeness that is 2013)

アニメ Tsukumogami Kashimasu

"So, the woman I saw at Tsuru-ya was... a ghost?" Man Seiji, you seeing things bro haha go sleep and stop dreaming about Okou lol

Man, this was a nice story. The new episode (#Tsukumogami07) was not that Suou thing I assure you, for we have another touching story to talk about. It all started with a fire. Hey, those things happen real often in the Edo period, and people die for it every time. Too bad man, the fire hydrant and sprinklers weren't around yet lol. Okay, the story. An incense burner of a tsukumogami recently got initiated into the rental store, telling his story about wanting to meet his wife. I mean, for a tsukumogami? Following this mystery, a certain Tsuruya-san was intending to have a celebration for the opening of his own store in the area years after the fire, but man, there was more history than that. Through the help of the pets in the shop lol, and little bit of #TheGossip (don't you think I'll forget about this hashtag haha) we found out that he was also one of the victims of the fire. Leaving the place in agony and forced to sell his land, he brought his ill wife along back then and not long after, she did not survive. And surprise surprise, he bought back the land he lived before from the one who stole it from him forcefully. Now you should be able to guess where this is going. Thank goodness Tsuruya-san did not manage to kill the proprietor or it'll be two ghosts in the house, so yeah,thanks for not making the house more haunted. Housing prices dropping real quickly as we speak lol. In all things that end well, and with a flashback from Seiji, he managed to convince the man to not take such an evil act of revenge, in view of moving on from the sadness of his departed wife. Fortunately, they did give what the arrogant lord deserved, so that's good enough. No really, what a jerk. (Are all landlords like this?) Anyways, nice story as always, and again if you see me write lesser than usual means I'm immersed and totally enjoying the show. Hey, a good show needs no more words. Though I would beg to differ because the dialogues are long as heck tbh haha

When you say your wife's a treasure but your friends don't agree lol

P.S. #PlotTwist when Katsusaburo mentioned about the wife being dead years ago OMFG Seiji's reaction is like mine haha we both got boomed real hard there about the truth
P.P.S. By the way our new guest was not a tsukumogami according to the rabbit brush haha it was just a possessed urn. Still not common today, but there's a difference.

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs: DEAD APPLE

Next issue.

Okay, I'm done. I still got games to play later. Ugh, I hate the time-focused Internet-gaming life. I want some freedom to play games, just like it was a decade ago. *sigh* Kids these days will never know. Cya guys next time then, and until then... I might have to start thinking to finalise #KN10YEARS because I see my work schedule ahead and it's not nice. *sob* Haha bye

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #35

Hey.

Tried reviewing Anime "Asobi Asobase" before I sleep on a Sunday. Which is actually watching livestream with the Japanese and then watching it the second time with subtitles. Not very fun. I need more time to comment on all the jokes tbh. *laughs* But hey, if tomorrow I have to OT at least I won't have to rush. *sob* Haha not yet I'm not in that deep

I hope the earlier warning in the form of a Klassic Note Review is enough to ensure someone went to sleep instead of waited hours at this... place where probably no one knows but me. Thanks, not SEO. That's how I keep my terribly expressed opinions off the Internet hehe let's start

アニメ BANANA FISH

Not doing quotes since most of them are reflective of the stupid reality we're going through in this series now, so yeah, I'm not that evil. *laughs* The new episode (#BANANAFISH09) talks about the question I left on the previous episode and what is the answer to all of it: who will have to take the drug, and what will happen. Who, we've tried to answer but damn did the author choose the easy way out, so not Ash, unfortunately. It obviously has to be someone else Ash has to watch in despair so they chose Shorter, and since Eiji is a good friendly target to pick, it was the target of "fear" as exhibited from the drug. How that drug on Griffin back in the war worked so well on the squad we won't know, but this one was quite of a stuggle, I guess. Ash and the guys reached the mansion, enjoyed some pep talk with the old man for a while, and the real drama begins. Hey, to be honest, I didn't sign up for this when I decided to give this show a chance. Then again, what was presented was an ethical situation for Golzine to show the military leaders on how one can be used, with the help of the drug, to kill basically anyone you want. I mean, ordering soldiers to kill is pretty much the same thing and I don't see why you would need this much to do that, but hey, that one scientist is an idiot. (Sometimes I wonder how much he got paid before Golzine slits his throat) Not going to spoil much for you guys, but Shorter has to die. Because this is BANANA FISH, Ash is too important to die, and if Eiji dies we cannot justify the Japanese thing in this show anymore. Remember, this is still America. *laughs* What will happen next from here? I mean, Golzine had a fun time sleeping with that China boy and Eiji, so... I don't know? Hopefully rebellion forces ranging from stealth invesgitations and gang form-ups to a little bit of cliffhanger luck we may get a happier ending. Hey, gotta be optimistic at this time. How many people can we inject that drug into anyway? Well, there's Max, for starters. *laughs* Man, I'm so evil and disgusted at myself. That's what happens when you have too much money and power, ladies and gentleman. You start to like little boys and destroy the world.

WTF am I looking at "I didn't sign up for this" lol

Me when I don't know wine and everyone says the name and year

P.S. You know, the good thing about liking little boys (haha) is that you are able to sell all the little girls because you know you're not interested in f**king them lol Golzine you bald freak

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro

"I'll never forget a high school girl's name once I've heard it... NEVER!!" lol I mean, I wouldn't say that publicly myself but

I miss good old Chio-chan already. *laughs* Okay the new episode (#ChioChan09) talks about image change, not killing yourself down a man pipe, and Andou-san has a lover??? Man, they all sound ridiculous than before even though there's no ass involved for some reason lol, butt let's talk about them. *laughs* Firstly, Chio-chan. She didn't study for her test once again (and that's why maybe smart home speakers may be useful at a time like this) because of one query she could've just asked her mom lol, and now she has to pray for herself to not fail it. Thankfully, that one Master who taught Kushitori-senpai who is just basically a homeless guy overheard her request, and instead decided to teach her to be a... I don't want to piss off Hanako from "Asobi Asobase", so... someone who wins in looks. *laughs* It didn't go very well of course in case you thought it did, and apparently good old below-average her is better. I agree. Oh okay I'm doing it wrong. *speaks in a fat pervert voice* I agree. *laughs* Okay, next up is Chio-chan's perception of coolness, and basically how Andou-san is trying to create that image? I don't know Andou-san, you date high school girls at your age?? Anyways, it started with Chio-chan thinking that Andou-san (not the sister) is cool after throwing a newspaper into the mailbox across the street for some reason, smoking cigar instead of the normal stick, and doing BL actions in the streets? I mean, we do know something's wrong in Andou's perception of wooing a school girl like Chio, but man did it go waaay off. That, and Manana's reaction to this whole thing feels like these main two girls are in love with each other. Hey, I mean, they did that wall thing on episode 2 so I guess? *laughs* So yeah, sounds complicated enough, this show. From future depictions to learning the wrong stuff from someone you like to that cat which freaked out seeing Chio-chan again... this show's got everything. Next week looks even better with probably the meeting up between the Andou siblings (yes that kid who pokes peoples' buttholes for some reason) and I can't wait. Not the penetration though, just the jokes. Even though I would argue that jokes do penetrate somehow... *laughs*

A memorial (lol) to the cuteness that is Chio-chan hehe

A memorial (lol) to the cuteness that is Chio-chan hehe

P.S. "So what's that about porn mag level sexiness?" I mean, as a woman you still have a vag-
P.P.S. I like that reference to that BL magazine Chio-chan bought two weeks ago lol Andou-san you have no idea how that happened
[Because Manana keeps doing it so I can't help but make a GIF]

アニメ Asobi Asobase

"I wish she wouldn't use an example that seems weirdly possible for her" lmao REALLY OLIVIA? On second thoughts I think she may have the butt to survive a fall *wink*

Once again, I must relate heavily to Olivia-san for being so lazy to study and approach others yet also screwing first impressions up so bad you can only have a handful of friends and people will never know who you are because you faked it in the first place lol. Okay, that's as far as similarities go as in the new episode (#AsobiAsobase09) the author tries not to draw worse-looking characters than the shougi club president when she threw that shoe Hanako's grandfather Maeda lol that's my benchmark right there haha. Firstly, let's talk about Olivia herself instead of the upcoming new character. She as a middle school student... let's say she has some problems. From lying to the class to missing out in the action, she wants these to clear up. Unfortunately, Hanako is less willing to help her out physically (I mean, the classmate is right about starting the rumour on LINE btw), and Kasumi... let's just say they should've warned her first. But I agree with Kasumi's reasoning which is also probably the original work author's reasoning which is to make sure she doesn't become popular or else the second half of this episode will not exist haha okay let's get back here. *laughs* Anyways, they almost got two classmates to believe it which is a pity, and now she has to represent the class in a English recital competition. Which bring sus to part two. Maeda's back again, this time prepared to jump in when necessary to solve Olivia's problem which is technically Hanako's problem (Kasumi totally saw that coming, his appearance in the room) (I seriously rewinded back to see whether Kasumi was sitting normally and she isn't lol) (She isn't for most of the episode anyway so I guess the animators want to make their own lives easier?) by... re-modelling that one android Hanako destroyed (#RIPKoiichiKun haha) and in comes Olivia with perfect speaking English. Sadly, thanks to the robot being made in conjunction with the grandfather who actually knows English (which explains why Hanako is good at it) (but not in that aspect) we didn't get a good reputation for the robot as it starts speaking its own mind out which is nothing but vulgarities. So... yeah, their club advisor almost got strangled to death. *laughs* Lastly, the brother. Yeah, I didn't have as much expectations as that Japanese audience watching the livestream with me which is lesser than Kasumi's which is way lesser than I-want-to-marry-a-rich-and-successful-man Hanako so... well I mean if you came here after watching the episode too bad there won't be spoilers but yeah, it was disappointing. And the only redeeming thing which would also prove that the brother and Olivia are blood-related (I mean, don't show me what the father or mother looks like pls don't) is that pair of beautiful blue eyes. Other than that, we're greeted with a rude brute in public, literally an Anime otaku (which probably explains Olivia's enthusiasm in manga), and is super stuck-up just to get some magazine back which he probably with his job on two PhDs, can probably buy another copy himself to save on the shame, as mentioned by Hanako's new poetic serialisation lol. He wasn't all that bad though, because I mean he has a good voice (already better than Hanako's grandfather imo), and he can impress a Hanako. That's fine by me, actually. *laughs* I know this is not a romcom, but heck I want to see Olivia's brother and Hanako cyber-dating. Just... just keep the cosplay photos away, please. *laughs and pukes profusely*

By the way it went real fast from this...

... to this lol NOT THIS SENSEI if you want to kill the mangirl is better!!

P.S. How the fuck Hanako did you fuck up "omotenashi" from "okotowari"?? Well if you speak like me there's a 70% chance lol
P.P.S. This section is reserved for my impressions from the cast's latest niconico live after the re-broadcast from episodes 1 to 7. They asked which were the best episodes, talked about how Kasumi's chest (ep7) isn't as good as a mysterious book of secrets lol, and played some simple games. Well, nothing I was expecting but they are cute so I forgive them. Also, the girls all have their social media outlets, so I encourage you to give them some support while you're at it. Kino "Hanako" Hina has a Twitter account, Kohara "Kasumi" Konomi has an Instagram feed, and recently Kohara-san talked about Nagae "Olivia" Rika also opening an Instagram, so yeah, go check those out. I love to support newbies like myself lol
[Because I can only fit two images in this review I chose another hehe]

Am I the only one who immediately knew she's fucked in this? *laughs*

漫画 A Channel

In this out-of-the-world chapter (106) finally we have Nagi-chan again in the spotlight, as she wants to share something she likes (an Anime, specifically) with the girls. So too bad we won't see more... of her friends whom I don't remember their names lol, but we'll get to see a sleepover! Well, not those kinds of sleepover. It's those watch-until-you-drop-and-drink-until-you-cannot-make-it kind of sleepovers. *laughs* That's Run-chan and Yuko's case by the way. For Tooru and Nagi-chan, they went all out. Well, as much as they can, and then when they wanted to sleep they couldn't, mostly because they wrnt on to drink something hot. Hot coffee, apparently. *laughs* Well, I hope there isn't school tomorrow lol

I miss happy Nagi-chan already

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm this week I continue the journey on giving songs from last week. Haha life is hard when you don't have all day to listen to songs, mind you. Also, giving songs is hard now that you have 2000 songs behind your head. That and work and you're going to forget those songs eventually. Great, so I can give more haha. nano.RIPE's new album wasn't impressive per se, but I would still give a couple of songs because their choruses are good and you know, Kimiko sang it. *laughs* GLIM SPANKY has been stuck on my head for quite some time, so I'm giving a song or two to balance that. sphere... let's just say it's troublesome to give them songs with only Apple Music. *laughs* Scenarioart's new song is only list now because I miss them, and Murder by Death's new album finally got into my brain and... it's weird. It's a lot harder to give than their previous album which I just give a couple of them off my head. This time around? I listened to the whole thing and I still can't decide. Man, this is going to be tough. Benchmark tuner lower setting activated! *laughs* Lastly, I want to give SID's new mini-album a chance. Period.

Next week brings us Aimer's new single and from the music video released earlier this weekend... it's great? It's quite a short song though, and since pre-release may be as early as tomorrow maybe in retrospect I should listen earlier so I can properly give the song by Wednesdays when the real physical release is out and the world knows of it lol. Also, Tomatsu Haruka's new single came in as fast as her announcement of her anniversary as a singer, so yeah, haven't heard of it yet, will probably go listen to it later for a preview or just... wait three days. Or three months if you only had Apple Music lol. Oh no, I won't wait that long, I promise.

In Twitter news, I hope you didn't miss the nano.RIPE livestream on YouTube (it's a Lantis miracle haha) because I missed half of it lol. I'm still glad I didn't miss the fan request segment (well it's just like, a chorus worth but still) but hey, it's just a taste of what it's like if you go to their lives physically. Just go. I'm just not as enthusiastic to do that unfortunately haha. Also, Sambomaster's live in Budokan was impressive. Some of the older songs I didn't expect them to sing (I guess they would if you went to their lives back then), they are as enthusiastic as they are emotional (moments of silence, man), and they remind me of how rock n' roll should be like. Hey, for someone who hasn't heard much before them, I take pride on my interest in these guys. Also also, I just reviewed their new single so do check it out. Pretty much what I said here actually lol




Okay I'm sleeping I have things to settle tomorrow, and then some. *sigh* Work life, everyone. Hey, at least I get paid doing it. Now to see if I need to change my phone before it gets extensively used and I can't hear my phone receiver without turning on my phone speaker lol haha good night guys

[P.S. Desktop wallpaper for next week. You're welcome. Sumipe's curves are just too much. I know I watch porn but she... she's a treasure. Shame on that jerk who threatened her two years ago. Shame on you. It's our duty to oversee idols from afar. Support her and give her as much money as possible to keep her career going. Okay I won't go that far but stalking and killing her is seriously not in my mind. Some people are weird, I don't know why. Okay bye I need to start dreaming of her soon haha]

The Klassic Note Review 2018.09 Issue 1

Hey, guys.

Before I forget, I'll be releasing the Entertainment News late tonight because I'll be catching the latest episode of "Asobi Asobase" before I sleep. Yes, Japanese AND another time with subtitles. So yeah, then I'll release it so I can relief the load on tomorrow's post considering I have to watch three shows on Monday which... doesn't sound great for my work life now lol

Okay, let's start. This was meant to be done by the end of last month, but... work. Hey, I have to blame something for this. Regardless, it's Sambomaster on the table again!! FINALLY SOME GOOD RELEASE THIS YEAR lol okay let's get to it then!

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Sambomaster - Kagayaki Dashite Hashitteku [Single]

(You know if anything else a cover art contains a school girl that it's a good cover hehe)

Origin: We should be familiar with Sambomaster, namely still the most famous Rock n' Roll band in Japan and still promoting and encouraging peoples' hearts all over the country. If you don't like them, you really need to give them a listen. Today with these guys, I always get excited, touched, and every other emotion in between. It's like an emotional rollercoaster every time with them. Today, they stand strong with 20 years of music experience behind their backs, and this one got through because of a specific television drama. And with it, comes the most touching work the trio have come up till date. Introducing the veteran, the legacy, and the always nostalgic future of Rock music in Klassic Note and their latest single, and you'll know why I didn't even hesitate to jump right into this one.

[*Note: There is no official listing of both the Limited Edition and Regular Edition singles but they do exist. It is implied that the Regular Ediiton single is a 1CD release which does not contain the live CD]

(1) Kagayaki Dashite Hashitteku [Running and Shining]
From the chorus:

"Don't give up your heart, let it shine on

It's okay, (you) will overcome

Don't be disheartened and please smile, bring up (your) chest and go

Because you, (are) sure to be my miracle"

Of course, the topic song. It was the topic for the television drama it was credited for (which is from a movie which talks about a jorney of a girl joining the cheerleader dancing group in school), and of course without much relation to it, I find hard to give them just the melody, so like every other Collection artist which I gave the thumbs up for, I always give a second chance. Diving into the lyrics did I know how much I felt for this song, considering when I heard this half a month ago I was still searching for a job. This song told me not to give up. This song taught me to overcome, be confident, and to presevere for I am a miracle to exist. Hey, with such lyrics, it's hard to not be touched. Coupled with a nostalgic yet fresh melody from these guys which I favour, you got yourself a successful song. Wonderful all around, and the lyrics will get you out of your latest rut, I promise.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

(2) Dekikkonai wo Yara Nakucha [Have To Do (Something That I) Cannot Do]
From the chorus:

"Don't give up, regardless of when; you can do it, whatever it is

Now in this world (I) see the only strong force (in you)

Things that you cannot do, you can (actually) do it; don't lie

Now in this world (I) see the only strong light (in you)"

This was definitely not the deciding factor when it comes to giving this single mainly because this was already given. Credited as the insert song for the same drama mentioned above, this was actually a self cover of the original song back in 2010 when it was also credited for another show if I'm not wrong. Fast forward nearly 8 years into this release, and this song it still great. The melody caught my attention back then almost immediately, and the lyrics - after much learning of Japanese back then - brought much meaning. Again, around the premises of never giving up no matter what, this one brings the never-die spirit and straightforward singing into a new level. Forget about songs which bring subtle meaning or even no meaning; Those with meaning will bring out the best in them, especially songs like these. And this one, the one sung in many lives and loved by the fans, is definitely the first song I'll introduce you to so that you'll love Sambomaster as much as I do. What may be slightly different (I suppose they bought the license for this song since they switched music labels) is in the rendition of the instrumentals since this was actually re-done, so maybe not as awesome as the original. Other than that, it's a treasure.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Above Average)

Conclusion: I couldn't say much about giving this single, but if you liked the topic song then you'll love this single, I assure you. As a long time Sambomaster fan, I've always appreciated their efforts for making simple melodies which have heavy meaning in their lyrics, and I would say this is a true example of their contributions. Give them a listen to if you haven't, and maybe, just maybe, it'll touch your heart too. Turn away, and you may never have a chance to be touched by music again.

THE PACKAGE
Goddammit the PLAYPASS code expired the end of the month??? WHERE WAS I? Oh I decided to wait for the weekend to review this. Oops.

As you can NOT see, the CD comes with a piece of paper with a link to download the digital version of the single FOR FREE using PLAYPASS on your smartphone, but I missed it. *sigh* Well, I have Apple Music already so this doesn't mean much to me to be honest. But as you can see above, it's your usual wonderfully packaged disc release, with the girl (I didn't bother to check who she is, but I assume it's from the show) on the cover. That's pretty much it, really. Simple without much free gifts (besides the free download) and it's okay, because the price won't be high. Well, it's as cheap as I can get from CDJapan so I'm not complaining.

Wait...

*playing with phone*

Wait...!

I think I did manage to download a free copy of the single! YES!! Well, (it's 128kbps AAC but still) (okay there's 320kbps but it's still AAC though) thanks Rechoku for giving me a couple of days for this anyways, Now I have a Facebook account attached to your sub-service. You're welcome haha




Okay I better get back to work. I like how I wanted to do work for the week while listening to Sambomaster's live later (I meant that one I mentioned weeks ago which I didn't have time to), so I better do it. Cya guys tonight then, but later than usual, so yeah, go sleep or something first, yes? I'm already missing my sleep already lol haha bye
