Will we ever be able to rejoice over spending on commitments as much as we are on entertainment?
Really, think about it. Today I work a regular 9 to 6 job, get rather meagre pay, and it has to go to bills and my parents. So yeah, we all are barely leaving anything for only ourselves to spend, especially if we save. Sounds bad already, huh? But think about it otherwise. Why aren't we enjoying the days where your water and electricity doesn't get cut, you can use your mobile data, and parents can get some allowance after retirement? It might be more important than we think.

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #39
I really wonder why I only did those hashtags above for Anime when I could be doing it for EVERYTHING I've written on every post ever since this version of the blog existed five years ago. Okay, I'd rather spend time unifying Klassic Note and its contents haha it's mostly that this weekend you know. Design considerations now that I can understand database management.
SOMEONE GIVE ME ANIMAL CROSSING SWITCH NOW okay let's begin
アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2
You're going to wonder how a marriage proposal will ever happen with these two. *laughs* In this final episode (#TakagiSanS212) which I can't wait for the weekend to watch (still, 2 days delay?) and here I'm hearing things like "if I do date things, I win" from that Nishikata? Seriously man, he's an idiot to fall for this girl. *laughs* This show in a nutshell haha. Anyways, let's talk about the"It's a date!" Haha damn kids you're so right I can't even
(Painstakingly patched) Perfection. |
P.P.S. This postscript is dedicated to talking about this episode's insert song (not the cover ending song by Takagi, and is) by Ohara Yuiko who has been doing the opening theme songs so far. I'm soooo glad I gave this song back in end July because man, the feels when you know the lyrics (hopefully for you, from the subtitles) and they give that Nishikata searching Takagi amongst the lights thing? It's so staged, this insert song, but for this song being inside the Anime, I cried. It was that touching. Thanks, Anime, for making this miracle happen. A third season need not matter. You won "Araoto" this season (shut up Baka haha). And I'll take this impression as its best. *sob* I'm done.
[Since it's last episode let's put more sweet Takagi reactions in, yes?]
That's a "my boy did the good guy thing" face |
That's a "my boy isn't here" face haha |
アニメ Autumn 2019 Anime Season Preview
It's that time of the season again, so yeah with most shows ending this week (of course, including Takagi-san), and this coming in somewhat in time this weekend, I will, as usual, comment about the shows I've seen on the list. Shows I may give an episode (and does not mean it's confirmed) will have premier* episode dates listed.(Source: Random Curiosity)
(*Premier airing refers to TV premier; early screening events and exclusives are not counted)
- I won't be watching OreSuki (Ore wo Suki na no wa Omae Dake ka yo) but I know my harem-loving friend will. No, that related Anime thing written on the post will NOT entice me to watch this it LOOKS terrible haha
- If I'll ever watch Houkago Saikoro Club [Premiers October 2nd] it'll be because of Marinka. Period. Because the technical terms in board games will make me so bored her character will be the only way to cheer me up I might be skipping this altogether I don't know
- I... may have to watch back season 1 if I am to give Hi Score Girl II a chance someone give me 2 weeks work leave lmao
- Null Peta [Premiers October 4th] may get emotional at some point, but if it's not the-game-is-done-way-better-than-anime-adaptation emotional I'll live with it haha. Anime original series btw and it's releasing with a game? Is this how it happens now?? Either the game is going to be boring or I'm going to hate the Anime prove me wrong lol. (Also Waki Azumi stop getting on my face!! Geez haha)
- Tokunana (Keishichou Tokumu Bu Tokushu Kyouakuhan Taisaku Shitsu Dai Nana Ka: Tokunana) [Premiers October 6th] sounds like an interesting original anime filled with hidden dragons disguised amongst humans until I notice I have to give the dragons. I like the idea of action Anime with alternate world disguises (say BLEACH, Bungo Stray Dogs) so I might give this a try. It's all the guys though where are the females in this special unit? Ah, there are 2 haha. Also, why put the young boy newbie as main again? Do all special agencies need to have one of those? lol come on be more original, Anime.
- Babylon [Premiers October 6th] didn't really get me hooked in until I see who wrote the opening theme song (Hey Q-MHz write some more songs for Mikakoshi would you) and I guess I can get another thriller anime in my pocket. It has been some time since shows like "Subete ga F ni Naru" and "Ranpo Kitan" came under my microscope. I wished it had more action like "Tokunana" above though, but I promise, I will not pit these two against each other if I'm giving this too haha
- Why would I want to come back from work looking at work? Africa no Salaryman is not going to be up my alley unless I'm a furry there are TWO this season including this wtf
- Is Pet going to air this season?? I have a feeling I'll get to watch the real life stage drama first before the animation lol really it didn't even announce a date why is it on this list
Hmm...
...
I guess we'll take this time to catch up on Manga, shall we?
Oh yeah the guys were infiltrating the rich peoples' places to gather information, let's see what they have gotten so far behind the backing of the "real" Ciel Phantomhive. (I still remember the Ciel Ciel thing don't worry I just don't think this will be necessary now) So yeah, about the maids in that mansion. Apparently the reason for this many maids in the house and the continuous search for them are revealed in the recent chapters (154-155) where the Baron himself is actually seeking for love. Firstly, there's the morning greeting. Sucks to have to wait to eat breakfast to do this, but you know, he be a nice guy. The newbies are introduced to the master on his surprise return after a long trip I assume, and... someone got an invitation. Since I can't keep the suspense, let's talk about reality. The Baron does this unusual move due to him not seeking for love, but seeking for a replacement for his wife. Seeing his age and still single, it'll be no wonder that he has lost his family in an accident years ago and is not just unhappy with his wife and seeking physical pleasure lmao. Or more likely, someone to complete his life ever since that trauma hit him, literally. I wonder why he has to do the maids though (isn't that kind of lowering your status?), but suffice it to say that Meirin did get to see what happened, the head maid was kind enough to explain to her the situation before letting her go, and Ranmao is the next target. And... unlike the other newbie who just got a try-out and left the place (lmao it's like with clothing when you go shopping), she did not return. Which of course, can only mean two outcomes. Either (1) she did somehow manage to suit herself (remember she is Lau's bodyguard, that emotionless girl) into the Baron's favours and hopefully she's still a virgin after that night haha, or (2) she failed to protect herself, as a bodyguard. Yeah. And from the last cut of the chapters, it might be the latter. Man, that Baron must be RIPPED haha we don't know for sure. But one thing's for sure: she didn't win. And that might be an issue of concern. What will happen of Ranmao though? I guess we have not long to know of the answer.漫画 Kuroshitsuji
How did the Baron find all the time to write all this himself? Just saying |
Must be great being the head of the house with all those servants lined up #RichManGoals |
Eh, in random stories in this series lol (168-169) we have two stories to talk about. Someone in the carpenter's house is surpassing Rin, literally and arguably the worst carpenter on the island who still bears its title (lol), and the rest of the house is keeping it a secret from her. No one knows why, but a certain penguin (okay Misaki stop being aroused lol) is obsessed about who can make such fine work, making intricate items out of wood. Looks like it can only be from the house, as Rin deduced, but apparently it's more than that, which will explain why Ikuto is not performing his usual social justice self by solving the mystery haha. So yeah, Rin incidentally found out that the penguin (I don't want to write his name down since I can't remember haha) actually sleep walks around the house, and surprisingly, makes his own woodwork in the middle of the night! Sure is weird for someone to be able to do this, but hey, the reason sells, so whatever lol. Turns out it's Mikoto, the ninja who also is an apprentice carpenter (I mean, is she though?) in the house, who is surpassing Rin-chan in many ways than possible, which Ikuto would explain whatever is hidden inside the beautiful box that the penguin found up on the hills. Ninjas would go there, the penguin doesn't know himself too probably, and the food only comes from Mikoto's place. Mystery solved. *laughs* The other is probably more relatable for all of us, which is a day without Misaki in Ikuto's place. To summarise, there's Suzu-chan, Ikuto, that pig thing Tonkatsu (yep, the name), and Misaki, the imouto. So a day without her should be a day in normal as we have seen in the Anime which is probably still chaotic, but hey, after this many chapters later? Ikuto is believing that he is not building resistance to that haha bro you don't build resistance to sexual arousal lol. Anyways, sure is more interesting than other people's affairs (lol sorry Rin-chan), and... I don't think I will miss this series haha when is it going to end though漫画 Nagasarete Airantou
The simple joys of life that's me with- |
Since someone is translating this, I thought we should continue with it until the series ends then maybe I'll do the same thing as I did with "AmaetaiHi" by buying the set. So, the "new" chapters (4-7) continue on the identity-changing story between Shun and Ayumu, and honestly reading at this speed now instead of raws? I feel bored. *laughs* Let's talk about it first. Firstly, we are introduced to the new guy, Kouhei. Well, not really new since they all know each other in middle school, but surely something happened, right? You don't have to change into Ayumu to know this, Shun-kun. Still, that might still be something hard to uncover even by disguise standards, so let's leave it as that. Then, there's the slip-ups. Of course, Ayumu and Shun are fine without being themselves, especially Ayumu, but Shun slowly noticed that he could be someone else without being the timid, soft-spoken and restrained self that he has always been. Is that good though? Only time will tell. But suffice it to say he gets to ask a lot of questions from others about it, but gets some slip-ups when he forgets who he is by remembering stuff that this new classmate doesn't know, to the not childhood friend. Mindf**k already? You're not alone. Again, way easier to understand with the translations, no joke. Lastly, the prelude to the end. As seen in Chapter 4, and knowing that the truth has somewhat been revealed in the latest chapters since a few months ago when I saw it (chapter 80+ or something?), somehow Shun-kun will be leaving again. Leaving as in, saying goodbye to his friends in school like he has to do in middle school. So coming back kinda sucks, and if things aren't settled between all these people as of now, it'll only get even more unsettling when he leaves again, I guess. And add in the others who will shortly join this middle school reunion party, and things might get awkward when the truth about body-switching is out. Hey, no harm caused, but there's romance involved, so the harm isn't just social, if you get what I mean. To end this, I think I'll try to see ahead on the conclusion and plan accordingly. If we do reach there than I may have to spend a weekend reading through... what is it now? 8 volumes? Well they are short but my reading's bad so we shall see. Again, subtle story, may be boring, but when the waves hit you'll love this ride. Also, Sana-chan is that cute I can't even漫画 Boku ga Boku de Aru Tame ni
Never thought of it like that with her in my middle school haha now I live to regret |
Maybe I'll do this as a seasonal thing, ie. every three months in the space between Anime seasons. Gives time for scans to be made and also won't force me to read stuff every week or month. Also, will cover some of the others next week, but seeing the Anime premier schedules...
This week has been quite a week at Klassic Note. And if I did say Sunrise In My Attache Case's new album is going to be hype, then I'm gravely wrong. Well it isn't, and as of now I haven't even decided what in the new list I want to give. Okay, maybe one. But that's it. No good. Half the album is on reserves now, which is bad considering it's all English songs and it's either give or throw all in my case haha. Ohara Yuiko's 1st album after like what, 4 years since debut? Okay, whatever, but it isn't bad. I did mention her melodies aren't great, but as mentioned before and even on Twitter, song production is making her songs better than ever, and that's a good thing. I'm loving 3 songs now because of this. She may not be the next big thing, but I'm glad I gave her another chance since that Anime theme song single. You can feel this out with how many Tweets that had her name in it haha. Natsukawa Shiina's 1st EP must be the highlight this week, and boy is it because it's released same day on Apple Music Japan? I was wanting to b*tch about it on Twitter on how I didn't get to hear it on time in streaming during lunch and I'm like "WHAT?" *looks back at Mocho and Ten-chan's song lists* "Is this some miracle??" *laughs* (No one can relate, by the way, not even my co-workers or my friends) Okay I did that bit on Twitter already, so be sure to give her... concept EP a chance? It's her in every other music style besides those that were from her album, in my opinion. Really, thought Aki-chan was in her new release for a moment lol the legacy must go on音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Most notably for next week is the fact that I will be giving Mrs. GREEN APPLE's new album a chance seeing how popular their music videos have been lately, and I'll get back to SIMAC when I am in the right mood. On Twitter, Hashimoto Eriko is going solo (well, is that surprising) with a new demo song music video which ain't bad (the song, not the video), LuckLife is coming up with a new mini-album due December (which I may not get to hear it again and if I do I might be disappointed lol), yucat's new song is finally on Apple Music after 2 months, fumika's new album revealed a long track list which is honestly just too many for my ears already maybe, and I realised Polkadot Stingray's mini-album is in three weeks. That, I think I said it last week liao so I'll save myself the shame haha. Also, sphere's new single for yet another Anime has a music video preview. Well, it's as much as you can expect haha
I guess I'll stop here. I've been spending a lot of time doing up Klassic Note stuff (standardisation of file names is a bitc-) and maintenance of this PC since I'm intending to let it survive till the end of the year which is coming so I better start planning what I want for my home PC from here on. Well, I won't have that much time to look at it though since I'm working BOOM GOT ME haha but I want to make my home time entertainment better. You know, words coming out from a loner lol. Cya guys next week then, and until then... I hope I won't continue being bored at work I've been doing the same damn thing for the past 2 months I think I need a career change TIME TO WRITE THAT RESIGNATION LETTER haha bye
Tuesday 24 September 2019
Embrace your imperfections and be swag about it.
That's what I felt when I saw a disabled midget on a wheelchair with sunglasses strolling down the pathway. Sometimes, you just have to be yourself despite whatever physical imperfections you may have. Mental ones too, but sometimes those might get to you before you can handle them. Regardless, being oneself is important, and be proud of who you are.

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #38
So I spent yesterday doing up a lot of things here too, trying to complete some of the blog post plans over here, including listing a bunch of women I like (ugh) (haha) (now I have better justification so when that is published) to making future plans for Klassic Note. It was quite a productive day ending with Anime. In contrast today I did nothing lmao
And I have to go back to work tomorrow again time to plan on my side entertainment schedule lol let's start
アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2
The good thing about dating Nishikata is that if he cheats on you it's easy to interrogate him haha he probably won't too he's a good guy. "This isn't cheating" What did I tell you haha in this new episode (#TakagiSanS211) which feels like a final episode but it's not, Nishikata plans on cheating his victory by teasing (lol) Takagi. Grand plan he hooked up, only to realise it'll fail on his hands. He is... just not meant to be evil haha good to know. So in summary, he planned a game with Takagi to estimate the steps it'll take from a specific junction to the nearest telephone pole. All was going according to plan but apparently, his face shows it all. From hesitating when questioned whether it was a coincidence walking up this random path in town (I mean, no shit), to reacting to things that do not go according to plan like changing target to estimate steps on, it's no wonder Takagi looked through him as if he was a piece of glass. So yeah, he didn't win, Takagi, you just prevented your loss, cheeky girl. But yeah, with this episode the hints on how they communicate with each other considering their personalities becomes even more clear, and even more awkward if you think about it. Then, after Takagi goes for a short vacation, they give each other souvenirs. I'm not going to detect if Nishikata faked his "vacation", but I must say this is most staple of what it must feel to be them. You know, the occasional "I'm going home" and the other will somehow follow suit. Because it's them. Jealous, aren't you? *laughs* Other than that, it's no surprise Nishikata wants to meet Takagi so badly after his own trip out, which always brings a smile to her face, this lucky girl. But of course, it is not without intentions. Takagi was already about to execute her side of his plan as a countermeasure to ensure she wasn't given like, a jack-in-the-box or something that is spoiled food lol, but I guess before going to the shrine to share the food they bought for each other Takagi managed to put the guilt in Nishikata to the extent that he revealed his (not evil) intentions somehow. Oh well, foiled it for yourself again, good guy Nishikata. (Haha what did I say, he can't do evil) Ignoring the fact that those were Takagi's true feelings about being happy from being gifted a present *wink*, we were dropped a hint from Takagi to the still ignorant and incredibly blockhead boy as she says she is free on the day of the summer festival. You know, that thing all couples go to end summer vacation. You would want to go with that special someone, isn't it? Also, you get to tease her and play games with her so many times lol "YOU F**KING IDIOT TAKE A HINT!!" is what I would like to say because we're probably all exploding right now as we are not him, but really, Nishikata. TAKE A GODDAMN HINT ALREADY. *laughs* He sure did, I suppose, since Takagi did mention she wants to be invited by a certain someone. Fast forward to another day where Nishikata is going to go fishing with the other guys and saw Takagi carrying groceries alone and decide to help her out. Again, good guy Nishikata strikes again. And once again, Takagi drops herself another chance to"Pretend to think of it, and pretend that something comes to mind!" Evil Nishikata in action btw lol
In this episode of "Karakai Jouzu no Nishikata-kun"... |
... if she feeds me anything I open my mouth wide, no complaints. *wink* |
P.P.S. "I haven't done much (of summer holiday homework) either." I mean, she's waiting to do it with you!!!~ Homework, I mean. Homework haha
アニメ Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.
I don't get it. *laughs* In this final episode (#AraOto12) where we are pretty much in dire situation to see where this goes... I don't get it. Yeah, you think you got the drama? Think again. Firstly, let's just talk about what happened, about what happens after last episode, that cliffhanger. Literally, they were hanging the sensei on a cliff. *laughs* I'm going to stop laughing for a while so please forgive me. Because from this final episode my biggest confusion here is "why"? Okay, assumptions you can make first, because maybe I don't get this level of drama, or maybe it's too laid out, but why? Let's see if I can dissect this up. The main point here is not actually about saving the teacher, or changing regulations in school or how evil the school is (I mean, compare this with Assassination Classroom), but more of who the girls are. And more specifically, about how the girls approach love. Throughout this series, we were met with many types of romance. Being the childhood friend, the b*tch you'd f**k (lol), the curious, the lucky, and the wildcard. If you didn't figure out who they are just by me describing it, you may want to watch this series all over again. Because what really left in me halfway through the series is really what they will think of love, however recent episodes really changed focus quite a lot. Next, is expression. Instead of ironing things out and/or fighting over it, they play colour tag? What is this, elementary school?? Haha but in all seriousness, the author(s) chose to express all of this (maybe, for the Anime) in a game where the "it" just chases after someone in particular, and then concluding that, which of course most importantly, is our perception on romance. It can be real, it can be fake, it can be unbelievable, it can be unexpected. Around every turn, we always see a different view, and with the people around us it may even be further divided. That's why you get all the misconceptions about how things are, and such elaborate drama is used to actually show their true feelings. From Izumi having to explain himself twice to Kazusa, to how Sonezaki is mad about Amagi having sexual experience (I mean, he can't?), to even such sudden feelings coming from Momoko to Sugawara. All of these are totally different, they do not share any common point in perception of love, neither do they make any sense when they clash together. However, what is most important here is their directions. Which explains why they always draw relationship charts for other show, because it's always these that aren't clear. I would argue that the show has lacked this explanation throughout the episode seemingly assuming a literate audience will get this, and if you calm down and absorb it then maybe we'll understand? Just maybe. Okay, now to the characters themselves. As mentioned above, Izumi screwed up explaining himself first time for the sake of drama if it's not obvious enough, and then again but expressing it as... well I sure hope you have a partner, but it works the same with idolism. There is that clear line between someone you love and someone you would do. So in this case, Kazusa's interpretation of"But I'm sexually attracted to-" BUT YOU ARE- *laughs* Why must I nail this spot-on? Of all things
You don't want to know what they are pulling. You don't. *laughs* |
lol that Momoko face is the best especially when zoomed in |
P.P.S. "Eep!" Okay, we good. Can we proceed now? Haha that Izumi
[To really end this, let's talk about best couple this series!! Mine is... wow every one has its bad side somehow lol. To be honest? Sonezaki's since it's so pure. I wish Sugawara didn't come ruin Kazusa and Izuim's relationship but she kind of did make Izumi panic so as much as he's a good guy I've lost confidence in him if I were his friend haha but seriously why you screw it up this episode. Also MVP is... nobody. I hate all of them now only know how to read books but can't deal with love *laughs*]
アニメ Joshikousei no Mudazukai
In this final, climactic episode (#JoshiMuda12) eh... for the sake of Tanaka's fate we should save her, right? Or else's she's... gonna... be a repeater? I mean, why not, right? *laughs* In an effort to end this glorious, glorious series I would argue for this season (haha), we have to save Tanaka from failing in exams. All signs point to her impending fate if she doesn't do anything about it, from the fortune-telling Majou keeps doing again and again to confirm, to the teacher literally telling the... high school girl (there Baka happy now?) to study or else she'll be screwed... she might be in trouble. Seeing that, Wota decides to, along with others Tanaka knew along the way, help her achieve that. But then, just as a good joke and throwing all hope out of the window, she sh*tted it all out. All of it. Hey if constipation can help me ace my exams I'll do it. I have rectal problems so this should be easy lmao. Anyways, so yeah, they literally corner her to.. you know, give up the high school girl life since it's too hard on her, to like, go take up a job to clear up the pig sty. I mean, really fitting for you though (lol I'm sorry), but suffice it to say it still is physically intense, as much as she might have the physique for it maybe. The two closest friends come in all away from town to the countryside to visit her, convincing her to go back to school... *sob* this is quite literally, the MOST TOUCHING PART of the series haha okay gotta try not to make jokes but come on last week I barely even made any. Anyways, they had to create a miracle, and so they did. With the combined efforts of everyone while still making jokes adequately along the way (I mean, I'm not going to list all of them here I forgot most of them HAHA), and with Majou's last injection of energy to let Tanaka be physically fit to even write on paper lol, she did it. All was inferred, by the way, so even if it's an illusion it's not our fault blame that other idiot Yamamoto lmao. Before I talk about the whole series, let's specifically talk about that touching scene again. So at this point we have confirmed that Tanaka is actually a very important friend to the two of them, Wota and Robo. For Wota, since she's the tsukkomi role, having Tanaka around would be great since she's the one who can just churn out nonsense all day. For Robo, and we have touched on this before, because Robo doesn't want to be a genius and have no friends, she joined the same high school as her. Hey, who says idiots can't have friends? *look at Aho Girl* So yeah, Tanaka, lucky you. Despite all the things that are terrible about you, the only one thing I can't beat you is... having girls as friends. *cries alone* Haha okay now the review. In contrast to the other two shows I've picked up this season, and foretelling the last episode of Takagi-san (which I'll talk about next week or else there will be nothing to talk about) I would say this is the best one I've picked up this season. Again, reminding myself that I like these comedy shows especially those real, real dry jokes that make me laugh way longer than Wota and Tanaka have laughed in the end combined, this show has nothing but jokes, while still keeping the narration of the story serious and straightforward. And for that, I think the author and Anime production for making it as sleek as Tanaka's forehead haha. Considering this many characters, of course introducing them every week is the way to go, and with all of them personality and quirks remain in my head so well it's as if I had to memorise for a test I would totally get all the questions that come to me but instead of test content it's girls and instead of questions it's anyone making a pun within the series. To be honest now? I like a series which I can laugh too every week. And this show, I must say, has done it. Thanks for the 12 weeks (not you Tanaka) of lovely girls (and voice actresses, let's not forget them) doing girl stuff and making jokes so stupid I can make memes of them every time I watch this again because you bet I'm going to watch this again it's funny. To end this, this world may have been way better without Tanaka the idiot, but I'm glad she's here to make sure everything else is funny in comparison. *laughs* Those word puns that you see throughout the series though? I can translate most of them if I do fansubs but you're not going to get everything lol those are the strawberry on the shortcake imo"Oh come on you're closer" Thanks for the 2D perspective, Anime, so we CLEARLY know Tanaka is wrong. *laughs*
When you realise you fighting against the demon lmao |
When you realise you fighting against the demon lmao |
P.P.S. "It sure is quiet without Baka around, right?" It was the most peaceful time in the Anime series EVER haha
[I know I shouldn't even say anything otherwise about Yamamoto, but she is always going to be MVP if her shtick every time is literally hanging out upon a tree. Like seriously, that's an achievement in itself haha]
This is so relatable I can't even |
This week... I mean, last week should've given it away. cinema staff's best album was pretty good, to be honest. But surprisingly, I have not yet given any new songs. If you need to know and listened to the whole thing without finding out, it's the first and last one. Yeah, none of them. Besides the remake of a music video they made which I thought was a new song (lol), I've given some of their older tunes since I felt like the mood to give them now, and they really remind me of their style over the years and what I liked. Janky off-beat melodies aren't in it, I'll tell you first. You can look through my Tweets as I reviewed it the day it was released to hear what I have to say about some of them. It's kind of like that abandoned project I've stopped doing some time ago but in Twitter rants lol音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Next week we welcome Sunrise In My Attache Case's new album which I have been holding back to listening to their digital singles for the past 3 months every month (don't know why this is a trend, even with Mrs. GREEN APPLE and SHE'S), and hopefully it'll be good. I went in with a blank slate the last time last year and it was impressive. Hopefully this time around they don't disappoint. *smirks* haha
Up and around on the Internet and Twitter, Tomatsu Haruka is releasing a new single for next season's Sword Art Online Anime (which explains why I have to talk about new shows next week too) (oh and Takagi-san), oh yeah I should also be giving Polkadot Stingray's new mini-album which releases next week too, SHE'S released a new music video as a step to their album release in December, Kawano Marina's 2nd single is produced by the same guy who did her first major debut single, Yogee New Waves is releasing their new EP due December, and... maybe I should also add Ohara Yuiko's 1st album into the reviews for next week.
So okay, there are THREE new releases next week? Now that's what I call beefing up on the reviews haha but only if they are good though I need to pad my ears to good music and not Anime trash-
I knew I came back to sleep for a while now but now I want to go back to sleep again haha. So yeah, this shall be it for the week. Spellchecks should be done already since I have to do something on the go just now (lol), so if you still don't understand it'll still be my fault haha don't worry no one shall judge me here. Cya guys next week then, and until then... I need to start writing my resignation letter. No joke. As much as the job is fine, it's not a long-lasting solution to my life. We shall see about it. Maybe write on the job? Haha bye
P.S. YOU DUMB IDIOT YOU FORGOT YOUR IMOUTO NATSUKAWA SHIINA'S EP RELEASES NEXT WEEK haha remember to listen to it for free on Spotify because MusicRay'n does that now and Aimer too for some reason. Do they hate Apple Music in their own region that much? I don't get it

The Klassic Note Review 2019.09 Issue 1
Seriously, I did not plan ahead on this. I swear I gave this single because it's
good and not because Mocho is cute haha
So yeah, welcome back to the quarterly series that is The Klassic Note Review lol. Besides jinxing this and reminding you to come back in another three months in December (haha), we shall spend some time talking about Asakura Momo's newest single. Hey, she's on fire this year. Songs, guys. Songs. *laughs* It's a weekday but you know doing this post will make me happy for the rest of the week haha let's start
Man, am I clearing Mocho singles left and right. What is this, her 2nd this year? And I cleared an old one last year? Didn't expect her to climb up the ranks here but
(Far shots or looking away are the worst; the Anime version cover is perfect
somehow)
Origin: We reviewed her 2nd single last year due to the one song not appearing on her first album, we've done another in June earlier this year, and now we have another. As MusicRayn's 2nd batch of invested Anime voice actress/talent, Asakura Momo is doing pretty well in theme songs even though she isn't excelling in the voice acting industry. This time, similar to her debut single, the whole release was produced by HoneyWorks, a production unit also affliated to many works in Anime, all under the same corporate umbrella. All in all, it's a good chance to get good songs and her cute voice together once again for Anime. And this time around in her 7th single, it aims to deliver some sadness, some happiness and a lot of romance in between. Let's take a look.
(1) Yume Cinderella [Dream Cinderella]
Rating: 4 stars (Nicely Average)
(2) "Sayonara" Kiite. [Listen to (my) "Goodbye"]
Rating: 4 stars (Lovely Average)
Conclusion: What do you want me to say? If I say this isn't a good single I wouldn't do Asakura Momo justice because this genuinely is a good single. Ironically, the average B-side totally saved it from being just your average Anime theme song single. If it needs a reason to stand out, it's not because she has been singing love songs since her first album last year. If it will ever stand out, it will be because her voice is made to sing lovely love songs, to make all of us fall in love with her again and again. This one will continue the trend, I promise you. If you aren't a fan, you should also give this girl a chance. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two from the lyrics on how to fall in love.
-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note
(If you didn't notice in the lyrics but (I assume your Japanese proficiency is lower than mine, so) the B-side lyrics actually describes briefly how bad you were as a partner, and how kind and romantic the new guy is. Really, if I ever get to be her first and we broke up, I don't even mind if it's just me saying "Go out with me" and she says yes and two seconds later she says "Let's break up" lol Mocho please date with this piece of trash that is me haha)
THE PACKAGE
The first thing I found out about this is how compact and thin the package came
in. I know I shouldn't be too worried since Japan knows how to take care of
packages carefully as shown by that one photobook which came in a couple of
weeks ago, but I still feel safer if you give me a bigger box with way more
padding than I can hope to have. That, and I can re-use the cardboard box to
temporary storage too hehe
Anyways, you might be interested in (since you read till here hehe) about what
special gift bromide I got myself this time. To be frank? None of them stood out
as good. Then again I'm sorry Mocho, but it's those eye bags of yours. (You have
not been sleeping well, girl?) In this case, they were a major factor in
deciding the final one. But also, close-ups are important so I started with all
and ended up with the one from Gamers. (Not going to link it since the one shown
above is clear enough?) As usual, it would take a shipping redirect before it'll
reach me, which is why I'm letting it take its time. Hey, the benefits of a
single released at the start of the month is that I have the rest of the month
to review it, right? Haha
Opening it up, if you didn't immediately see how perfect that booklet's last
page Mocho is you don't love her enough haha. Again, it's your full package of a
CD, so even the CD sleeve got covered in beautiful paper which if you threw it
away before seeing another Mocho inside you're an idiot lol. The CD is in a
perfect shade of blue to, you know, blend in with the overall theme which is...
her walking alone on the beach? It sounds plain but, I guess? At least the
Cinderella part of walking without shoes is there...? Sure, Mocho.
SOMEONE GIVE ME A MAKING VIDEO OF HER SCREW-UPS haha we're not getting it here anytime soon. I guess I shall stop. Cya guys next time again, and hopefully real soon we can get another single or album to review that is not Mocho lol. No promises though seeing my Excel sheet of future music releases, but hey, if Anime can impress me again I can talk more Anime, why not. I just happen to not watch them. Doesn't mean I can listen to them. Refer to the Klassic Note 2013 compilation about Anime theme songs for examples. Until next time... continue to love Mocho, would you? Her CD sales aren't great I can still get the bromide 2 days after release date man...
P.S.
And if I need to say it again this photo frame is one of the best decisions I've
made to put on my desk EVER hehe
So yeah, welcome back to the quarterly series that is The Klassic Note Review lol.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Asakura Momo - Yume Cinderella [Single]
(Just joking; click on the image to switch back) |
Limited Edition | Regular Edition | Anime Limited Edition |
Origin: We reviewed her 2nd single last year due to the one song not appearing on her first album, we've done another in June earlier this year, and now we have another. As MusicRayn's 2nd batch of invested Anime voice actress/talent, Asakura Momo is doing pretty well in theme songs even though she isn't excelling in the voice acting industry. This time, similar to her debut single, the whole release was produced by HoneyWorks, a production unit also affliated to many works in Anime, all under the same corporate umbrella. All in all, it's a good chance to get good songs and her cute voice together once again for Anime. And this time around in her 7th single, it aims to deliver some sadness, some happiness and a lot of romance in between. Let's take a look.
(1) Yume Cinderella [Dream Cinderella]
This topic song this time around is an ending theme for Anime "Araoto". From a show that talks seriously about experiencing love and sadness, this song delivers by making you feel all those emotions at the end of every episode, whether it's cliffhangers or just feeling relaxed having to go through the emotional rollercoaster that is the Anime. Other than that, the melody is acceptable since the bridge part is technically shorter than your average Anime song, and getting used to the initial preview really helped this to get into the list. The lyrics say the same tune to the Anime too, talking about being fed up with understanding love as the girls in the Anime do too, and selfishly doing it their own way. The little quirks of her saying instead of singing the song sure makes it cuter than usual, but other than that you get a decent melody that is made for Anime. And that is good enough."(Being an) Adult in love, feeling like Cinderella"(It's) Sparkling, (yet) uncomfortable(I) took off and threw away (those) glass shoes"
Rating: 4 stars (Nicely Average)
(2) "Sayonara" Kiite. [Listen to (my) "Goodbye"]
And of course, the B-side of any single is the dealbreaker for any review here, and this is not an exception. What sounds like a simple melody already is preparing itself to go into my alley, as all would know I favour, and coupled with a light-hearted mood makes this song one hard to reject. Talking about rejection, the lyrics tell a rather sad past despite the happy melody. You are ditched by her (I'm sorry), and she just fell in love with someone else. Yes, it's our worst nightmare. "Can we stop getting Mocho to sing such songs already?" Surprisingly, she delivers these songs real well, whether it's a happy or sad love song, it has always been a joy giving these. It is not that impressive overall considering they brought up a pitch in the last chorus of the melody, but the lyrics won't chase me away, so I guess I have to give the song, right? Don't be jealous on those words though she will get married some day so this song will be relevant no matter what. *sob*"I got someone to love(He) is very different from you(It was) all tears in (my) first loveThat too (I) will forget, and (I'll) just fall in love"
Rating: 4 stars (Lovely Average)
Conclusion: What do you want me to say? If I say this isn't a good single I wouldn't do Asakura Momo justice because this genuinely is a good single. Ironically, the average B-side totally saved it from being just your average Anime theme song single. If it needs a reason to stand out, it's not because she has been singing love songs since her first album last year.

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #37
...
Oops turns out it's next week well you're getting a preview of what will happen next issue anyways so... Okay it's my bad I'm sorry hey at least I don't have to rush all the Anime today haha let's start
アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2
Takagi you piece of sh*t you could've taught him how to use stuff properly instead of sh*tting on him lol he's your guy you know. *laughs* In this new episode (#TakagiSanS210) Nishikata keeps coming up with ideas to defeat Takagi like he always does. But seriously, if Nishikata were a war general he'll be demoted real quick lol. And as with each episode, this one also fills me with jealousy. I just didn't mention this every time because it'll piss someone else off haha. Okay, what happened. Firstly, it's about eye drops? I think this is the first time in my many years of watching Anime that I witnessed administering of eyedrops. Did they do that in "Hataraku Saibou"? I don't care. *laughs* Anyways, Nishikata's eyes are tired, Takagi-sensei gave him eye drops so his eyes won't feel too dry, but as with all of us (or not) we are too afraid to apply it ourselves. (I'm in my mid-20s already dammit haha) So yeah, apparently this can also be made into a shoubu, so whatever Takagi wins whoever is the target she wins anyways. (I would love for Takagi to walk away when he closes his eyes though that'll make of good comedy and won't appear in this romance Anime) And yes, if the focus isn't that someone just walked in to them doing it (lol) I don't know what is. Yukari-chan saw it apparently, and decided to tell... well Honjou-san, for starters, about it. Seemingly duped by Honjou's lie, she continues to spread this supposed rumour of them two kissing to her two friends which... (Okay did Mina-chan just make a KANA-BOON joke?) (Well it's a thing btw so I guess...) they don't believe because it's not qualifying as a "scoop"? Sure girls, whatever you say. (I have a scoop too! Mocho's new single review is only due next week! Aw... haha) Next up, after school activities since school ones are boring and playing with someone else of the opposite gender is more important lmao. You try telling that to anyone in the streets and see if they"Just make sure they are not mistaken" HOHO Takagi making the moves here?? *giggles*
Wow this Anime thing is sooooo real lol |
This reminds me of the coffee manly thing Nishikata did in that one episode so much I can't even |
P.P.S. "Seeing her defenseless like this... it kind of makes me excited!!" I'm calling the cops lmao
[More images since this gonna end soon so I need to make more jokes haha]
I don't believe you can put stupidity and confidence into an image but we have this |
Now I really wonder what songs you listen to, Takagi-san. K-Pop, perhaps? lol |
アニメ Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.
Haha I like how Sonezaki is always defending for the wrong people that's why we have those Hong Kong protests yo~ Haha nonsensical political jokes aside let's talk about this new episode (#AraOto11) yes? (I privated this blog so they can't catch me lol) (Google no~) Ahem, in this new episode where everyone decides to keep their mouths shut even though we know clearing things up is more important, we finally confirm that Kazusa is straight. *laughs* Hey, I got to be half as weird as Mo-chin, right? But apparently, everyone is going bonkers haha let's talk about them. (Long paragraph warning again, in case you need this) Let's start with... Jujou, I suppose? Well, there isn't much to talk about besides now the whole school knows about it especially Sonezaki, so she's getting into a fit. We'll leave her out first, so let's talk about Mo-chin for a bit. Her thinking is pushing into Kazusa once again, and she is real worried for her maybe as a friend maybe as she avoids the "tomo yo" thing and warns her about Sugawara. Sugawara, however, has ditched her life to go have sex with- She can't do it. We treasure our lives too much, including her. She won't do it. Not even for money. *laughs* So yeah, as the selfish people we are (lol not reality check btw), she instinctively punched the sensei which is probably the best punishment we'll see of that guy (lol because of white nostrils I mean you know his hair is also white?) and we might not see that man again for a while after this hotel visit. Moving on, Sugawara continues to press on by kindly warning Kazusa about her confession to her boyfriend, and... Kazusa doesn't mind? I seriously didn't think the result was weird to me until she ran down the streets lol, but what I thought WAS weird is the process of talking through it. I'm like, "Isn't this like that musical they were doing during the school festival??" *laughs* Uh, no? Then why... oh well at least they got things ironed out, but I must say this feels so unreal, if it's not canon material I wouldn't be surprised haha. Then, Kazusa hurriedly runs home to see her boy. I don't know how you can think doing it with the guy seals the deal (I guess she "learned" it from Jujou lol seriously?) but suffice it to say she is not taking in excuses from the best man in the series who will kindly tell her that he likes her not for the puss (oops) but she still won't believe it because she knows someone else will come in and steal the man. Hey, you have no confidence in your relationship? Apart from that Jujou-san burn (lol we are sorry), you would think that Izumi is going to get his boner up and love Sugawara forever- Maybe that'll happen too I'm not going to rule out the possibility but (lmao) suffice it to say you should keep that pair of crotchless panties Kazusa you might need it sometime in the future- Oh she cut it up into shreds. Oh well. *laughs* Moving on to Sonezaki, we probably are concluding the series of Anime with a climactic ending, and it starts within the school. Being spotted on the streets near a love hotel, Sonezaki and Amagi are in their way to be punished by the school which of course, as stated by the Vice Principal, is a convenient way to set new school rules to ban boy-girl relationships on the ground. (I seriously thought it was due to them proliferating that stuff ever since the festival since they were the biggest news since then) Since we all know what really happened and the couple being spotted on the streets was probably a mistake just like how Hongo-san was spotted with Milo-sensei was a mistake (lol *wink*), Milo-sensei chose to help defend the couple by implicating himself int his mess before Hongo could. That, as much as it is a brave act, is not going to change things since the Vice Principal is evil (I mean, the Principal comes to school in his pajamas how can he be evil lol), so the girls of the Literature Club decide to do the criminal thing by - I would believe this since it's Anime - kidnapping Milo-sensei and holding him hostage so they could negotiate with the school's leaders to revoke the recent changes and charges to the school and the students. Hey, the show's gotta end in something. Figured out that this would be decent enough of an ending. *laughs* I dig the climax btw (lol not esuibatsu I promise), and I think we can all see how this will end. Looks like next episode will be a fun one, amongst all things. But I could also see, from this episode, how much it stays true to the title of the series. Not because of the words specifically mentioned shortly before Milo-sensei was kidnapped (lol), but more on the feels. So far it has been wild, wrong, totally irresponsible and rash. That, is a good but confusing setup to a series which bears its own title to the fullest. And that, I can't wait to see what is in store for the final episode. This, everyone, is going to be great."If you had to sleep with Milo-sensei or me, or else the world would blow up, which would you choose?" Wait, what? *laughs* (Mo-chin I choose you~)
Things that don't happen in real life (Prove me wrong haha) |
Things that don't happen in real life (Prove me wrong haha) |
P.P.S. "I hate my current self so much" THEN WHY ARE YOU- ARGH if I rant too much above then you know this postscript was written first haha (Okay I didn't so [lol me] why then would she want to descend herself to such a level just because she can't decide if she can confess to the guy she likes? Or she scared of getting rejected? Either way... lol)
[Because this show's gonna end and I want to make more face reaction jokes haha]
Me when I go to work if I'm the boss lmao |
Me when someone is fondling with my crotch in a porno lol this face |
Since Kazusa MVP this episode let's give her... a... frown?? haha |
アニメ Joshikousei no Mudazukai
Are they really going to end this series with Wota now that the character popularity survey is out? I put her as my first but is it too late for her to reach the top now? *laughs* In this surprisingly emotional new episode (#JoshiMuda11) we are... man, is it really unfair to do this now? I'm in literal tears right now btw because of the story. Since this is not all over the place like last week, we can talk about it using one topic, and that is about aspiration and fanatics. I'm sure we are fans of someone who makes creative work at some point now that you watch this lol, but think about it yourself: How much of you will be able to meet the guy in person and convey your feelings that you have epxerienced so far about him or her? Well, for Akane, this one went on a full package, to say the least. So yeah, as with last episode's preview, Akane wants to tell his beloved Teishotoku-P (nailed it) (sorry for last week I striked it off already haha) how she feels about his songs. You know, the music producer that is Waseda, her form teacher in school. The first part is... an inspiration story lol, as the Anime tries really hard to write a song (I mean, in case you don't know, manga authors don't write melodies but lyrics they can) and fit in the lyrics as ironically as they can do Waseda's afternoon haircut session lmao, and... if you listen closely they do make sense, but thank goodness this guy still knows how to write a song to not make us want to remember his haircut lol. As good as the songs might be (we got like, two song previews this episode too), they aren't getting much attention besides ultimate fan "akane-san" (IKR is it not obvious enough) who, of course, loves his music to the core since it helped her through tough times in her life. I would argue that about the songs I've listened over the past decade, but this is where it'll set Akane and me apart: the fan meet in a doujin event. Okay, how this is fan meeting thing more awkward than that one from Anime "Tada-kun"? Well, apart from the joke in itself that is this series, the show tries really hard to make jokes as well as progress the story from Waseda realising it's his student who idolises him instead of a matured university/college student (lol), tries to disguise himself so not to disappoint Akane (I mean, he could've substituted the fat guy in and it won't even matter) but then the teacher kind of realised that deceiving the fan after so long might not be a wise thing, so he revealed his identity eventually after all that covering. It might be a shock to Akane (I mean, it would be one to me too tbh), but yes I've been waiting to say this since the beginning and add in the "me too" in this, but I don't care who you look like, because I still like who you are in a creative work no matter what. Listen to yuiko and you tell me if I should care about how she looks (you have been warned haha she chubby face though not the best example) from her recent reveals on Twitter. All in all, a surprisingly lovely episode which might be Anime filler (prove me wrong haha) (Edit: Okay it isn't haha wow), but hey at least it motivated Akane to not write the BL path for her manga lmao. All was lovely and emotional until I have to end off this episode's talk with Majou. Well, besides her superior fortune telling which I wish she could also help me on my romance haha (if it shows it's her I can take her too, whatever), she also hinted on what the final episode of the series would be, and it's about Tanaka. Considering she is dumb enough to eat cold food despite Majou's accurate analysis of her future, who knows what might happen to her in the last episode of the series. They probably won't kill her but will come close enough haha if they do kill her then Yamamoto will take the top spot in popularity FOREVER lol I'll never get tired from having a cute idiot run this series we never have one (prove me wrong) and it's one who likes to climb to high spots to be saved every time maybe she should get her fortune told by Majou as insurance haha"I think it'll be easier than humanity deciphering the C-value paradox" I got to search on that for a minute but man, Saginomiya, you... *laughs*
WTF is with this hair wash position lmao (I did this once btw not in this position though lol) |
Embarrassingly, this is what I'll look like when I review Mocho's single next week |
P.P.S. Since I have a spare postscript lol, let's talk about the popularity survey!! The manga author nailed most of it by associating popularity with amount of appearances in the series so far, and if this episode can't tell you which JK is on the top of my list then you can put her at No.2 haha. Besides Loli and that idiot (lmao) (oh yah Waseda too get rid of him I'm not gay haha) I'll agree on most of the Top 10 imo
[Okay I still think this can be a joke for the series, but glancing through the manga I now really want to read through it but maybe after the Anime ends and they persist on not doing a season two haha Majou's stories are rather funny I would argue AKANE MVP!!! Haha]
How I picture my girl outdoors |
How I picture my girl indoors |
This was kind of a week in Klassic Note. Hey, I was so bored until I decide to like a new song that hasn't been released yet, okay? Haha talking about you, No Buses and your new album just lost to that one music video you just released this week somehow. I guess I should go back to find some indie Rock I'm missing those feels already. Speaking of feels, FIVE NEW OLD's new album is definitely the opposite of that, since I have no feels as to what their style might give me, and that might not be a good thing, for starters. To be frank? I tried to give chance but all I could give is the topic song. Maybe this retro style isn't for me but that makes me wonder how I can give people like Sambomaster or even Yoru no Honki Dance. SIX LOUNGE's new single might be great, but so far I've only given the topic song since I'm honestly not in the mood to listen to an emotional song (you know, it doesn't keep my work life going), so I may come back to this one. And speaking of coming back releases, Base Ball Bear just got another song on my list from their latest EP which I hesitated to give. I guess it came back to me haha音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Next week... I mean, if I ONLY mention cinema staff's best album next week on Twitter and NOTHING ELSE then I'm sorry haha. We shall see. This recently initiated Colleciton Artist in Klassic Note is making waves, and if I really get bored even on their indie releases then maybe I'll take a trip to Audioleaf. During work. *laughs* On Twitter and the Internet, stop hyping me for Natsu kawa Shiina's new EP due end of the month, Kawano Marina's re-debut 2nd single is due this November and has a title and produced by the guy who did her very first single for Anime (it's "A-Channel" btw), and THE ORAL CIGARETTES came up with a music video in collaboration with whoever Rozalina is lol.
Note to self: Follow more artists so you can pad this part of the blog post every week haha
Wow, I still can't believe I'm doing this long post talking about Anime and music every week since like, as long as I can remember. Yeah, since the previous blog that I migrated from. Played the collectible games on GTA Online this weekend (yes that 6-year-old game) just to get more money and remember the times I enjoyed that game. Oh well. I'll just wait for Rockstar to give me more in-game money just by logging in. Yes, I'm going to do that later too haha. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I want to spend more time playing games instead of sleeping and playing those free-to-play games that burns most of my days away I think I'm stuck like the rest of them kids I'm just glad I don't have to watch ads to play any of them haha bye
P.S. KIRARA FANTASIA HURRY UP AND SUPPORT ANDROID 10 OR I WILL QUIT THE GAME FOREVER lol they don't care
