The Klassic Note Review 2020.02 Issue 1

New year, new release review that is delayed for about three weeks? Yeah you bet we're starting this year strong!

Welcome guys, to the brand new Klassic Note Review of the year, where we kickstart this series off early with a single review just in the month of January! Man, this has got to be a record. Also, not because I prepared for this to celebrate the 5th year of reviewing songs and putting CDs on my shelf, but you know, I just happened to like another Anime theme song related single again. This time, I... may have gone full circle. How did this happen though? I guess we can talk about it.




音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Liyuu - Magic Words [Single]
Limited Edition Regular Edition
(I prefer close-ups considering she is kind of a cutie, but the magic-themed display on the Regular Edition cover is real cool too)

Origin: If you wonder how it is a new singer again, you're not alone. Liyuu, in this case, is a Chinese cosplayer who can speak Japanese, which is why I said I may have come full circle in giving this single, by giving a Chinese since I left Chinese songs in the dust. Her debut in Japan in supplemented by the fact that this single is also for the opening theme song of Anime "Hatena Illusion", which, with professional Japanese music producers backing her up, may make this more appealing of a single than it should have. She's not the best singer out there in the Anime industry per se, but she can impress, and that's the kind of magic we are talking about here. Let's dive in further.

(1) Magic Words
"Chasing after, after seeing the traces of tears shining in the light
(Let me) catch, your voice
(Let it be, the) magic words only we know"
It's the Anime credit theme song, it's impressive at first listen when I watched the Anime, and it still hold up even after hearing it in full with the typically dreaded bridge part which was actually good, and this is considered a rarity, to be honest. Not only it has a catchy melody to remember by, the lyrics also bear resemblance to the Anime itself, talking about romance and magic, as if a maiden is falling in love. Production-wise I wouldn't say this technopop style is my thing, but at least it didn't get any worse, and it does make the song sound more appropriate to the Anime and does appeal more to the general audience, so I'm closing one eye on that. Otherwise, it's a song to like.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Anime Average)

(2) Mahou to Gum to Yuuki [Magic and Gum and Courage]
"For (my) first love
(I would like) a passport to convey (my) feelings
Stretching into the pocket, and searching, (I) couldn't find anything"
As usual, this single'e deal-breaker is because of its B-side. This isn't exceptionally outstanding as an awesome song to be frank, but it easily left an impression, which is probably what made me decide to review this single in the first place. The style reminds me of various Anime artists that sing such melodies too, so that is already giving her an edge by following those examples. The melody is simple even up till the bridge part, the beats are good, and the lyrics once again, focusing on falling in love or more on the confession part, I guess. If this is how she confesses to someone I wish she'll do it in Japanese too, and I guess this song is it. The song is as cute as you can see her in.
Rating: 4 stars (Simply Average)

Conclusion: She's new, it might be her only music release in a while considering we're seeing an industry of such talent appear everywhere else in Japan, but she'll be someone to remember when you know of her origins. Still, she's sweet, the presentation of such a solo artist work can only get this perfect, and this is quite a prime example of it, in my opinion. Unless technopop is not your thing, give her a chance even if it's not for the Anime, and you will not be disappointed.

THE PACKAGE
Okay, now that the not so fun part is over lol oh come on she's cute right?
It's not a crazily high budget as expected, so not surprisingly the inlet of the booklet isn't filled (when you open it up, where you see the section between the CD and the booklet) which is fine. The Regular Edition I had despite being a full on artist release (ie. showing off more Liyuu-san over the Anime, and now having an Anime Limited Edition release) did still provide an Anime back cover of Hatena-chan which is good, and the booklet is simple. It's no slack of a production here though, I would argue as this is the industry standard in Japan which already rivals many countries and their music releases.
As for the special gift, I was stuck between two generic choices, between the artist herself and... her cosplaying, of course. She'a a cosplayer anyways, what makes you think that won't be a choice? It's her cosplaying Hatena-chan, and it looks real good, which made me kind of regret my choice to go for an artist based photo instead of an Anime one, but hey, first time getting from online store of Sofmap so that's new. Other choices I made include the Gamers one which is literally the cosplay, with a full on set of a artist bromide, a badge and an Anime bromide (I know I am already regretting not choosing this) and Chara-Ani store which is a different variant of the Sofmap one which I got because I think Liyuu-san looks best in that, despite there being another artist outfit among the designs.




This is it for now. If there are anything I need to add on for example her profile for those interested, I'll do it later I guess. For now, I'll wrap this up so I can finish the one photobook review (the last, to be frank) before the sun sets which is unlikely but I'll try. I need the sunlight to take better photos haha Akarin~!! I know right Liyuu-san pales in comparison even having a circle for a face lol I'm sorry girl I'm into Japanese hehe cya soon

P.S. Oh yeah, lyrics... yeah I'll do that too haha maybe tomorrow

The Birthday Present 2020

Well, happy birthday to me, I guess.

I'll cover these in more detail in later posts, but suffice it to say my "birthday package" has arrived. I really thought it'll be bad due to the epidemic that is around right now (not delivered from Wuhan btw if en route or not I don't know lol), but then again I did may a lot more for this to even arrive so... I'm glad it even appeared.

I bought three main things for this time around, and I thought I'd like to share them. From Kito Akari's 1st photobook to Liyuu's debut single to Uesaka Sumire's photo sets, the latter is what I wanted to share since it'll not have any mention in the following reviews I'll be going through in detail later. So, let's get to it then!




THE ORIGIN (OF CONSOLIDATION)
The photobook was already planned when it was announced last year but only around the time I wanted to order that single which I decided to pre-order this about a month ago so that I could avoid the special ticket to her signing event (I want to give others who can go a better chance haha), and Sumipe's bromides is just to compliment the package since I've wanted to have more of her images in physical copy (not as in printing her selfies out, mind you), so here we are.


THE PACKAGE (IN SUMMARY)
I'm not going to show everything in detail, but I will show everything that I can talk about. I just won't talk about all of them here as I will only talk about Sumipe's photos here instead.
Damn, that is a lot...
Specifically, I just chose whatever is left on her official store, two sets of 3 which were from last year, and a set of 5 which were randomly chosen from 15+1 mystery photo. I really wonder who will get the special one, but these are already special to me. Pity about the text in the images though; they should've kept it clean so it'll look good on my picture frame hehe
For once I can ignore her chest and appreciate her beauty haha
The set of 5 was specifically from about 3 years ago where I started following her selfies (lol), because I can remember the others that I've seen and I'm glad I got something outside of her selfies so at least there is little overlapping. Again, this is already ten thousand times better than her music releases where they gift a signed bromide... yep, signed. So yeah, the cleaner the images are off text the better, don't you say? And I'll talk about the other two items respectively.
If you need a reason to why I started to like her from 2016 just look at these




So there you have it, just a sneak peek of what to expect just in case I can't finish the posts by tonight considering this is s Saturday and I have all day to do this when this package arrived in the morning. I'll see you around then, starting from Liyuu's debut single. I've came full circle to give a Chinese while escaping from Chinese songs lol bye

Sunday 2 February 2020

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #5

Well, hopefully this is the last week of the season I have to deal with FIVE shows on Sunday haha *yawn*

Welcome back. It was a fruitful weekend haha well by my standards at least

I can technically split by two-day weekend (I mean, whose isn't?) by spending like half the time sleeping (lol), probably 10% each on two games, about 5% on getting meds from a TCM because if I don't I can't hear Anime (yep) and the rest on this. I love this the most haha come on the gacha didn't even give me shit lol

Okay let's start I dragged this too much, I didn't rest today and my eyes are twitching while laughing when watching just now so let's finish this




アニメ Babylon
"That's a woman, right?" YEAH NO SHIT ALEX you blind or what?? Haha I can only make this spoiler-free joke
I mean, any rational human being who has watched this far would agree that we should kill that b*tch, but you know, Alex doesn't feel that. *laughs* In this final episode (#Babylon12) of this whole nonsense we have been going through, it's interrogation time. Just this time, it's on the top of a building. It really feels like this is a trap for Alex to talk to potentially Magase but it's not, for starters. But what happened next probably will not change your opinion of this series. Well, at least for me. Firstly, the talk. Alex had to convince a woman to not take her own life upon a building and... it went well, surprisingly. They gotta find an interpreter for this though. And... Seizaki's buddy stepped in. I mean, "kill him whenever he does anything stupid" shall be my final warning to him haha, but I guess we may not have to. Because besides listening to the woman's tough story about whether to die after losing a kid she did with another guy without getting married (lol everyday thing there and I can't even get myself laid), the talk went successfully and Alex just said the same thing: he still doesn't know. But after telling her that and letting her live without killing herself, he then realised upon the answer. Okay, from her on this is literally the author's standpoint so spoilers if you haven't seen it yet... to live is to continue. Which technically makes sense. That's what life is about, yes? Only people who risk death are doing bad things, for most of the time. Doesn't mean you can do risk-taking things like play with the stock market but, you get the idea. But then, as Alex realised this, he made the worst decision of his life: pick up the wireless receiver to talk to the woman again, thinking that the same wearer would still be on after the talk. But hey, surprise surprise, Magase is on the line now. Which explains that the one on top of the building is just one of those people who want to die, not the evil itself. So, part two of this episode. Since Alex is a normal person like most of the guys who can get seduced by Magase's voice (yeah technically Seizaki is abnormal haha it's the power of his wife and kid man), he decided to take his own life. Let's ignore the panic this has caused for a world leader who wants to die now as he climbs to the highest point of the building which probably won't kill him it's like 4 floors lol, but Seizaki found him. Okay this one, I can argue with the author so let's do it. I'm not pleased. *laughs* Normally we have a proper ending like any other Anime even as weird as it gets like "Kara no Kyoukai" as I would like to reference to be the weirdest psychological I've watched so far in Anime. No really, even that had some proper conclusion. But if you are expecting an ending or even a happy ending, don't even think about it because the author is not giving it to you. Well, at least this adaptation isn't. I'll focus on Alex's talk about talking to the woman which he convinced to not jump, and tie it back to the talk about good which we mentioned earlier. In essence, he said that he'll be telling her a lie, and that he'll not be doing something good. Remember that he mentioned that good in continuity? So if you flip this around, and as us as we are now, we will argue that she should die, but then be telling her a lie? So she should die if her life is that screwed up already? So yeah, here comes my argument. If good is continuity, then many people would have been evil accidentally by ending their own lives. Think of the woman that he talked to just now. I like to quote on the poor on this because they didn't have much of a choice, so what does that make them? Poor people are evil now? Go read some articles on how some of them took education and lived to see the revival of their village in Africa. THEN you come tell me if it's good or not. It is, isn't it? On the contrary, then why is evil ending of life? Oh by the way, I'm not going to rant too much, and if you want a reality check if you haven't been influenced by Magase at this point because I assume you haven't... as much as people say living in a sin (I'm going to jump off a building after all this lmao no really I won't I promise), life is all about finding a purpose. If you fail to find one it's fine just live with it, but if you find it and it's "kill yourself" then you're f**ked up, to be honest. And in the case of Alex the Thinker, it would be continuous. And that's why you shouldn't die. Because I guess we can quote on Nomaru again remember that debate? Yeah, human tendency is not to die. Even if one has lost all hope in life. Because besides for the purpose of survival, we have all the reason to live. To find another purpose in life. You think the animals out there who barely have a brain will just die because they survived a struggle with another species? Hey come on that ant you stepped on probably only lived for 2 days with purpose and you killed it. Isn't that evil?? So yeah, in this case, the author is right: evil is ending things. Even one's life. I think we mentioned on this on how it'll affect other peoples' lives if you die, so you get the idea. That doesn't mean it'll be good if you die naturally, but then that is not your choice. As you continue to fight to live probably because you have a purpose even if it is for family, it's still a purpose. Think about it. The author, in conclusion, may have led us to a bad turn or even a trap (hey real life Magase haha) to think about good and evil. There is no good and evil by the way, because we are both. To think of evil is part of our nature, and to do evil becomes natural as an instinct; I believe we mentioned this before too. The real question probably Alex needs to think about is then what is life? Because to think about life as a sin is itself a sin, since then we will think of the opposite ie. dying. Again, don't want to iterate too much but I hope you get the point. Continuity alone isn't everything. Seizaki of course, ending up taking on his own life, as hinted by the ending where Magase is pretty much alive. Because clearly, she is not at that location where the two people died. Bad ending, I guess. I thought we could expect a good one at least, but hey this isn't local TV drama, they do whatever they want haha. All in all, quite an inquisitive show to think about life, but as I said, I've thought about it more than Alex at a much younger age than him, and my standpoint is still valid: living in society is signing an invisible contract with the government, and not committing suicide and to live and contribute for the benefit of society is your purpose in life. So do not forget that. To die then is a sin. So go strip your citizenship and then die haha I'm done with this shitshow I need some comedic relief
This show is sad so here's a happy family (without Zen) (ugh)
I don't know what is not evil but I SWEAR watching porn isn't haha I'm sorry I gotta
P.S. "What should I do?" I mean, after listening to your story? Have another kid? *laughs* Oh yeah right she did a one-nighter with the guy haha okay nvm
P.P.S. "At that time I'll die with you too" Man Alex, did you just betray your wife and try to do a shinjuu with another woman from across the globe? I can't kill him from here but can someone push him off a building? haha *serious foreshadowing*

アニメ Hatena Illusion
So wait, sir? You're not a real magician?? WHAT??!! Haha spoiler alert "(Makoto) You're better than Father" GOT HIM lmao
Okay I gotta say it here, but I want this Anime to be awesome because the parents will be their last draw and is in a level different from the bad guys who are tougher than the house without them. Well, at least, the mother will be. *laughs* In this new episode (#HatenaIllusion04) we have more issues, specifically with Yumemi. Hey, I did say it was somehow because of her that I continue this series, but as simplistic as this episode has shed a light about the series, I still think this is nice compared to whatever intense thinking stuff about suicide I'm watching this season lol. Let's talk about elementary school kids problems, yes? In a nutshell, Yumemi doesn't want to go to school. And it's not really because of the boys playing around with her which I must say is a real turn off to anyone who has to go to school, but more of what the boys are insulting her of, that she doesn't look like her sister. For example, just the hair colour, inherited from her parents. I mean, you can always dye your hair brown. *laughs* Since the father came and left after praising Makoto about last episode let's ignore him lol, but yeah it was a tough process to even talk to her about it, to say the least. Yumemi's friend in school and teahcer even went so far as to visit her at her place. And of course the sister and his boyfriend are eavesdropping on them. I mean, what do you think they were doing, Yumemi-chan?? Ah, she doesn't understand that kind of stuff yet haha. Hatena was concerned about her and asked about what happened in school that made her not want to go to the extent of having to fight their Artifacts over it. And now Yumemi you're asking about what to do now that you've upset your sister? Ah well, she's only in elementary school so whatever you're forgiven lol. Even with all this, she still refuses to talk to anyone properly... besides Makoto. *laughs* Hey, what did I say? The one who possesses the wand or whatever it's called... "smile stick"? Haha yes, whatever that meant, is the one who brings joy haha. At least, that's what the author Makoto thought is true. Turns out, she doesn't want to go to school because she's too smart for it? But girl, do you know about Triple Integrals and Fourier Transform? *laughs* That's... what I learnt in university lol and that's why you go. Anyways, she's just an elementary school student; We've all been there, something is making you not want to go to school mainly social issues because them kids all are d*cks before you can be one (lol), and they will never apologise but you still have to live with it for 6 years. *getting intense primary school flashbacks* Haha, but in this case, the kids came to her place and apologised to her, and... she ran away haha I gotcha girl I know you were going to run. But seriously man, if they apologised, and as Makoto mentioned, just say it's fine. And again, if you are smart, you could teach them a few tricks. Also tricks other than homework because I can use this word pun to talk about the magic trick she did to impress her classmates and maybe change their impression of her. Hey, if it works, it works, author. I can't criticise on your now lol RIP btw. Anyways, nice episode to watch though, as much as it is simple in thought, at least it made some sense besides the fighting with Artifacts which I must argue is the animation's strongest point thus far haha. Next episode... we may have a troublemaker coming our way. Looks like some rich woman who doesn't know about magic asking for something probably from the parents, so... we shall see how this plays out. Can you imagine the amount of sh*t the house has to deal with regarding the family and Artifacts? I'm glad the butler and maid haven't resigned yet because I would lol okay maybe not for Yumemi-chan haha
How you should not be treating life
(Be angry at small stuff like skirt lifting haha ikr)
How you should be treating life
("As a joke" haha ikr)
P.S. "You seem to be enjoying yourselves" I mean, Hatena, you want me to teach you? I could teach you a few magic tricks if you know what I mean lmao SHE'S 12 PLEASE haha
P.P.S. "I just want you to leave me alone" Girl, you're not old enough to make that decision haha I learnt that the hard way so trust me
[You think the original work has real skirt flipping to the extent we can see middle school girls' panties- Oh it's a novel series lmao MORE YUMEMI-CHAN COMING RIGHT UP]
Me after someone says sorry to me lol Yumemi-chan I don't know how to reply either tbh

アニメ Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun
"I'll do anything!" That's the best quote I've heard so far this season haha Nene-chan~
Okay wait, so this is an affair?? *laughs* No wonder the wife wants to kill kids- Wait I can't say that this site will get banned haha. In this new episode (#HanakoKun04) to end the Misaki Stairs mini story, we have plenty of take into with regards to the story behind, and it's most definitely not what I mentioned above haha. Last week, we were left with the confrontation of the youkai responsible for this fiasco of students missing all over the school, so the trio came in to piece up a body as the youkai requested from the phone. And... it looks hideous haha. Then again, Yashiro's finds would not have worked though if they just built a normal person out of mannequin parts, but we'll talk about that later. Because firstly, we have to fight the damn thing. Hanako also realised that the weakness is not up there in the world, but probably down below (come on author that youkai is a woman lol), so after Yashiro realises her friend was one of the many in the (half dead) corpse pile amongst the stabbing scissors... Hanako threw her off the edge haha wow this change in mood. As funny as that is, the story in which Yashiro later found out as she appears in another area below the surface, is another thing in itself. Since for starters, Misaki is not the youkai they were fighting. It's a teacher in school. That youkai when she was "younger" Okay, this might not be a good explanation. Let's start with the diary. In the diary which Yashiro accidentally found lying around, it dictates the times where some kid? Yeah, wrote a diary about his or her life with the sensei, specifically Misaki since the teacher's comment on every page is signed by him. Yes, Misaki is a him. And as Yashiro figured out, it was a student falling in love with teacher scenario (and as usual the teacher cannot return the favour because "you're like 20 years below me kid" haha), but one day, the teacher died. After falling down that flight of stairs. Now you know where this is going. And in the diary was a photo of a bunch of kids with the sensei. So... yeah, flashback!! *laughs* In the actual tale, specifically mentioned in the diary too, Misaki-sensei gave her a pair of metal scissors (this is probably some decades ago FYI) after helping her to cut her hair, the youkai's. And since she is one... she can hide, uh, I mean, disappear. In a story where one would expect it to be a story where similar someone turns into a youkai, in actual fact that was done in front of a shrine, so yeah, that kid who wrote the diary and the guys are already fighting, is a fox God. That fox God fell in love with a human. Hey, that took a real turn around haha. Misaki arranged for the kids to take a picture with her in it. That's how kind to the God he was. I hope she realised that haha he probably did he pulled it out of nowhere. So all in all, it's some fox God dreaming about being with the sensei who died and in her effort to try to create him once again... I mean, can she? Surprisingly though, the plot line developing up till the end was gripping, to say the least. (Says lesser about Kyokou Suiri for the past few weeks but we'll bitch about that later haha) In the end, Hanako had to send out his powers to ensure this God's duties are removed because heck, you can't date on duty lol. The kids were returned to normal by daylight, and Minamoto... he was a warrior haha I can't think of a doll joke lmao. The fox God in its actual form is not kind though, but what the heck I may have destroyed your love dreams but you know you can find love with another human, right? It's time to move on haha. For next episode... we might have been revealed of the Number One Wonder of the school. Not that she's the new school idol lol (wonder, get it?), but yeah, she seems to have something like Hanako-kun and his... I'm not going to read that name hahahakujoudai (lmao), but she looks like an evil one to say the least. Remember the origami which stayed on Yashiro and accompanied them in the past couple of episodes? I guess it's for observation purposes and if it's similar in power Hanako would hardly figure it out, but this is going to get interesting. In-fighting? Hanako-kun I didn't know you had a sister lol it's Anzai Chika too HELL YEAH I'll be a youkai for her hehe
How normally it would have been if someone in a skirt jumped. "Normally". *laughs*
I legit laughed at this one out loud lmao I love this sense of humour
P.S. "I want Misaki to scold me again" She's a masochist confirmed haha man this youkai
P.P.S. "He ended up so cute" Okay if I had to fight until I become a doll for someone to like me I'LL DO IT haha but seriously though new reincarnation route unlocked other than cat lol
MFW I get shit on by others haha Kito Akari please step on me
When you are good to others and they get back at you lol WHERE MY KITSUNE UDON AT

アニメ Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei Shite Mita.
"You're the worst, you beast!" Oh yes please Ten-chan shit on me haha wait what
WOAH MAN THIS BITCH KNOWS TAEKWONDO I'm sorry Kanade-chan for saying you're cute haha. In this not new episode because remind me to fix back the episode numbers (#RikeKoi02) so it will fill up the gaps? Well, there isn't any since it still looks normal until... well the past few weeks have been rough lol watching the wrong order. In this episode, we have been introduced this episode to a new(?) character Ibarada, who just games all day even though I can hardly call her a gamer Chio-chan is more of a gamer than her haha. So firstly, about the senpai who is older than everyone else around in the lab. She may have redeemed herself by stepping into the love experiment the couple were practising on, talking about the couple's experiment misses, but otherwise you have literally a gamer science student who can juggle between work and play more efficiently than any machine around the lab haha. (And she has a childhood friend but we'll leave that aside for now) She technically also proved that Yukimura gets aroused from just petting girls around the room. URAYAMASHII haha please bro stop showing off how unsocial you are with females. On the other hand, Himuro sure is pissed from not getting that love she intended to have by proving that literally just her would be enough to prove her love for him. Oh well blame Ibarada for that then haha. The second half of the episode was focused on... love with cooking. Hey, if you need help understanding this over significant figures go get yourself a partner lol or just watch more romance Anime tbh. So for those who have lived in a well like Yukimura, there is a legend that states that love cooked with passion and specifically love will make a dish taste much better. They should've tested this against cooking for someone without any emotions (say, cook for me) (haha *sob*) and let Yukimura eat it too, but the couple actually forgot to remove the experiment control of cooking experience as a factor to this test. So yeah, they stopped Yukimura from science cooking real quick lmao even I can't stand it. And as Himuro suggesting to test various ways to "inject love" into cooking (here's a secret it works best when both are cooking together haha don't tell Yukimura), and we kind of landed on the psychological aspect. You know, from heart-shaped bentos to carefully designed dishes to even your grandmother's special... they all share a common theme. And I swear in order to not get slapped by Himuro, Yukimura had to say the one with that layer of love sauce all over it (haha sex joke) must taste better than the other one WHY THEY GOTTA SHOW RIPPED DUDES IN HERE haha. To end this simple episode considering that there are complex topics mentioned in this series, is to talk about whoever is mentioning all the details ie. Kanade-chan. She is cute. I think I elaborated that real well over the past couple of episodes haha. But yeah, this lab is probably where she shines as she continues her line of tsukkomi to the dumb senpais lol (fancy calling yourself a genius, Yukimura), gets used as reference material or experiment subjects (and I don't mind tbh), and... gets tortured to read papers into the night. YUKIMURA YOU PIECE OF SHIT- Cya guys next week we should be on track by then haha
This comparison is so different I can't even
This comparison I can get around the left one is done by Kanade-chan right?? lol
P.S. "What principle is allowing her hair to move like that?" I mean Yumikura, if you're at it can you also find out how this works in other Anime too? lol
P.P.S. "Let's experiment for a while more" I didn't realise Himuro wants it this much haha sure I'll experiment
[I'm seriously falling in love with Hara Natsuko's voice Kanade-chan is amazing haha my fuel to continue watching this series (Audience: But what about the boobs?) The what? Haha]
She is ready to star in an action show lol she got the eyes
Neru sugata mo kawaii!!~ ≧∪≦
(thumb of kanade typing: I have a feeling I'm dumber than her tbh and I have an engineering degree too)

アニメ Kyokou Suiri
"It's a lie right? That you're Kuro-kun's girlfriend." *looks away* haha
Eh I may have screwed up the naming for Kurou-kun but Kuro is fine haha he's not black though lol I'm not racist. In this new episode (#KyokouSuiri04) featuring Steel Lady Nanase... I guess we have to get through the love rival thing first, huh. *laughs* Yep, so rival whatever first. Hey, I think I'm staying, for these nonsense in between. F**k the youkai, amirite??? *looks at the tree spirit* (Go away from me please haha your comedic relief is here guys) So yeah, it has been 2 years in th story, so let's let Kotoko update what happened between the two. They... they were dating. Yeah, it's not a lie, but it's not true either. For the ex who knows everything, she knows for starters that he wouldn't date such a (cute) girl anyways, as seen from the photos the guy had to take with the new girl lol. And then, there's the shitting on each other. I'm so glad this isn't a Taiwanese drama where they quarrel for two episodes (worth 2 hours each btw) because I love this level of bickering all over the place even though we know they are both losers since one is the ex and the other isn't making the guy happy anyways lmao. "If you like him you let him go", I say. Is that how I never got laid? *laughs* Moving on, let's talk about Nanase's story. Ignoring the fact that a voice actress with a rack is acting an Anime character with one too (haha Sumipe, please), story goes that (I know I said I got bored from the murder by the lake but this one has tits, uh, I mean, is more interesting) Nanase rose as an idol picked up on the streets by an old geezer ugh (lol), she got her debut in TV which made her famous including giving us the audience a spectacular opening theme animation that no one will forget haha (I legit laughed out loud at the ice girl like opponent lmao) (And if you don't get the joke of why and I learnt this from one Jeff Dunham: it's the super normal ones around the super attractive one that makes the attractive one more appealing lol that opponent only had dots for eyes) (Edit: It's a God, as seen from the manga, and she is literally called washboard haha), she was great in front of the camera (well of course Sumipe would, uh, I mean), and... she killed her dad. Wait, what? Haha for someone who has everything it's hardly likely that she would kill her dad, so we know there's more to this. *sigh* I shouldn't be building suspense here since the Anime did it already, but it has probably got to do with her sister, in case you didn't realise. Because not long after hiding from the press and being asked about the father's death, she was killed by a steel beam. I use the word "killed" instead of "died" because... it's likely not an accident. I guess we will know about that soon, but that's when Saki-san had to figure out herself after taking in all the clues from the police investigation department. And this, the God of Wisdom wants a piece of the action. To this, and since she can't ask for her favour directly because she can't resist shitting on her again (Saki-san too but you get the idea lmao), so... cue the next idol of the season probably, that Tree God Gen'ichirou. (Nanase has nothing on this guy; I assume he does stand-up comedy? lmao) He asks for her help in place of Kotoko-chan and requested a meetup to talk about it. You know, that eventuality where the police would cooperate with the one citizen haha. But then, at the meeting place, some youkai nearby told Kotoko that Steel Lady Nanase (the youkai) was around. And so she went to discover.. it's Kuro-san fighting her!? So I guess next episode, we get to find out more from Kuro's perspective. I assume he has spent the week investigating this out too. Hey Kotoko-chan may be cute but we have the smart guy here lol don't hit me Saki-san. The story is getting me down on my seat though, no joke. I did not regret giving this Anime another chance where we fight monsters and shit on women lol I'm not misogynist btw I like tits haha wait what
How you know you're having a good date lol that face
(I'm going to look like this on blind dates soon, I tell you)
MFW I see good food
(I like mostly fried stuff which I'm not eating now because meds *sob*)
P.S. "I mean, you're not Kuro-kun's type" Haha Kotoko-chan GOTCHA lol that room is literally a minefield with all the booms
P.P.S. "Those boobs will do!" I mean, this old geezer is literally trying to pick you up Nanase just run haha
[Okay PLEASE let me make the jokes oh and you can watch the clipped video on YouTube too. If you don't want to watch this series you're welcome or maybe Twitter is easier]
Her face was so flat I can't spot her in the screens I took lmao
(PERFECT AMOUNT OF TIME for her appearance btw any less and it wouldn't have been funny)
You think the burn from this flamethrower is hotter or whoever Saki-san or Kotoko-chan is trying to burn haha
*giggles*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Okay, another week, another bunch of releases to talk about, new and old. The actual release out this week was Waki Azumi's debut single so congrats, but apart from the first song I legit cannot give you anything else, to be honest. I think my initial impressions were right it might be hard to give Ajuju the right song to sing. Cute songs might be it for now though I await the next work to impress me further. I also revived my review on Uso to Chameleon's new single because heck I have to give the Anime now and I'd rather give this opening theme song because at second listen... it ain't bad. I mean, I must be tired from last month's dose of J-Rock lol no seriously.This weekend I came around finally to Suzuki Aina's debut album- wait, what? Yeah, this newbie is also getting her singer debut apart from acting main role in Anime "Hatena Illusion". Hey, the music video was released in November last year, by the way. Goes to show they just slotted this song in casually to make her have a good start in her solo music career. Seriously, Suzuki Aina... you're just like them. LiSA or whoever they are in the same subgenre. *laughs* Ignoring that, what the heck is with the excessive classical music is it like the music genre she's into? But then again I'll try to give a couple of songs if all goes well I think I give a couple. While searching for releases landing on my birthday because surprise surprise it's on a Wenesday this year, I came across indie(?) band... let me get their name, yes Humbreaders, these guys. They aren't bad. So yeah, will be reviewing their 1st full album since they started I think three years ago. Congrats, guys. You gettin' Klassic Note consent liao- oh this is not prestigious enough? Oh well haha

Next week is idolism week in Klassic Note, ladies and gentlemen (lol) because we have Fuchigami Mai's new single which I'll probably only give the only topic song for Valentine's Day (I mean, why not since the others aren't doing it), and the showdown between Touyama Nao's new single and Minase Inori's new single... you try to find the former in tweets and compare with how many times I said I liked Inorin over the week, yes? *laughs* Don't mean to shit on your Naobou but they got Inorin a good song imo

On a fantastic week of news we've not seen in months in Twitter (haha), Q-MHz is on music subscription services in which of course only Apple Music Japan is of importance to me (I also paid my yearly membership fee ugh should do it in summer when currency is weak lol), SHE'S is coming up with a new album somehow after the success that is the EP from last December I guess, VELTPUNCH's new album production is done which means we will get news about release real soon which means it's this year, and to compliment that SPECIAL OTHERS is back with another album after five years of not releasing new stuff. Them in acoustic 2 years ago does not count haha welcome to 2012 everyone where music (only) is king and alternative rock is awesome~!! The hype is real in this one haha the stars have aligned




Okay I'm done I'm tired. If I miss something I'll fix it at work lmao. Cya guys next week then, and until then... I'm pretty sure you'll get two new posts by then, mainly a new Klassic Note Review which should've been done last month and... you know what it is. *giggles* Until next time then next week is going to be great I want work to not screw this up please don't Wuhan virus you too

The Dream Record 20200131

I'll keep this one short since it's kind of a first for both of us probably haha okay stop dreaming

Hey, new year new dreams?? You bet!! Haha and among all the girls I can dream of... It's someone I know of course, but I think it's definitely the recent character song she wrote the lyrics to in which it caught my brain's attention... It's Nagatsuma Juuri. If you don't know of her it's fine she's not super popular, but you gotta wonder, right? Especially if it's a love song.

Okay I'm going to forget so let's begin

"I think I was supposed to facilitate a new vehicle route? I'm not too sure. There is a driver out there that'll need help in changing the route but I believe I have the new map. I was late but the run still has to begin so it left without me. After realising that I had to chase it several times while losing many lives in the process. This was probably where I think I was inside a video game world, to be honest. Upon reaching a pit stop, I saw Juuri hanging around outside. And apparently hearing from her, she noticed a vehicle driving slowly and asking for directions and then realised we were on the same team, but she isn't primarily helping the driver out, I guess. She kindly asked to print out the new map which I should have passed to the driver and told him or her to navigate... I was too late. I thanked Juuri for her help, and we had a conversation now that the driver knows his or her way. She sort of reprimanded me on my job, saying it's technically none of her business to help me. She felt cold, but she did help me out, so for that I was thankful to say the least."

That might be it haha. I had to fill in some gaps so it'll feel correct. If you need to guess it definitely felt like a Grand Theft Auto video game scenario, and I'm probably still thinking about work (yep you can guess), and I don't know how she came into question because I gave her new song like, last week so... Well I'll figure out myself haha cya

Monday 27 January 2020

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #4

Happy Chinese New Year!! To all those who celebrate it of course. Otherwise, I hope you had a great weekend haha I tried my best to watch these whilst going out tbh it was hard to do it though as you will see I've rushed through 2/3 of these in one night

If you see anything going amiss with the blog, please do tell. Apparently Blogger changed their HTML template without warning me and I swear something was lost in the process of me saving it while adding features to here and then I had to fix it and at some point removed some js I wrote since the last time I backed it up SERIOUSLY MAN

*sigh*

So far it's only the arrows on the labels on mobile view which I will have to redo again but otherwise I hope nothing is lost I lost my mind on it on Chinese New Year Eve though MOTHERFU- Let's begin haha

Edit: Might be changes to facilitate the new UI, so technically if I create a new blog now I DID THAT SIX MONTHS AGO YOU PIECE OF-




アニメ Babylon
*speechless* I can't take any quote from them they are all bullsh*t haha
To be honest? I think that thinking about it in economics aspect will work its best by asking the question "what would a rational person do" in approval of the suicide law? Now it suddenly becomes easier. You're welcome, Alex. *laughs* In this probably pivotal episode (#Babylon11) we hold two international summits. Well, that's how them leaders do it to solve problems, hold summits, so whatever. Don't ask me how they got the approval to hold that one Suicide Summit from the Japanese leader, but he's useless, whatever. *laughs* First, the actual summit. They can't really name that summit over the real name, so they gotta use a fake one, replace the SEVEN leaders with... similar ones although I would argue that French leader is not a real replica haha, and they... talked about morality. Yep, Alex did it. It was initially about the standpoints of the states and why they have such a view, from Canada, to France, to the UK, to Germany... but that's not all important. That's because, Alex wants to talk about good and evil. And among all the discussion, two morality stories were mentioned. That trolley one-save-five question that you should've learnt in school because if you don't then your education system sucks lol, and a similar one but this one got ripped apart to save five from organ failure haha. (Magase might be triggered by this, please) But the leaders got more confused and deep into the question of what is right, because anything that is not evil can be right. Should morality then be based on this? Well, that's at least how they think now, and are deviating from it though. But if you think that saving one than five is sinful because you killed the one instead of an accident happen, and that's how Magase can take advantage of that and kill one by one with this assumption. That... I don't think is a good ending haha. Remember, we are driving that trolley to the split section right now we can't turn back. And so, Alex is still thinking even further until... they cut to Itsuki and his speech. But seriously, where's our Magase Sensor? *laughs* Oh Seizaki is right there haha gotta put him in the center so we can know if anything weird happens haha. So, the actual summit got disrupted by the one Itsuki Summit which I shall refer to instead because why not he's the hero now (lol), he's going to live broadcast someone jumping off the building again. Man, besides the reality talk of me wanting this to stop (*gets axe flashbacks* *sob*), Itsuki also brought a good amount of people to witness this in Shiniki. And thus, he proposes that Alex talk to the one person who can't decide to commit suicide. And surprise surprise, if you didn't think it's anyone else considering it's a female too, it's Magase. Yep, the author literally wrote until he cannot answer himself anymore haha. Because if you are impulsive like a normal person then you would persuade her from committing suicide because that's what negotiators do in those police dramas. But this is "Babylon", ladies and gentlemen who don't want to die. *giggles* Conventional thought doesn't exist in this show already. So, the evil has finally surfaced. What can we do now? It seems like it's just a rational talk and Alex can win, but you gotta think deeper (like him) and question the intentions of doing such a thing, kind of like a practical experiment where one step and... well besides falling down the building, will cause millions of people to change their decisions about life. Can he do it though? If he talks to her then he'll eventually be dead though ALEX NO~!! Man, this is going to be fun to watch. Not the death, I mean. Again, this is the most I have thought of stuff in an Anime in years RikeKoi has nothing on this series haha we're done thinking for the week
Very inconspicuous, by the way, allowing this name to pass through haha
Man, do any of these faces give you a good reference of the leaders today? Okay maybe not UK now but it was female for about 3 months lol
(Welp they left Russia out too how dare they)
P.S. Okay I may be dumb to realise this until now, but yeah it's literally referencing Alexander as The Thinker in that sculpture, in case you aren't aware of its existence.
P.P.S. Just as a joke answer, I want to allow suicide in society only on one condition: they must sacrifice their value to society before death. So we'll get rid a good bunch of poor people who are suffering even as they speak (lol sorry), maybe get rid of some of the rich and earn some state funds out of it (haha), and... maybe the world will be more balanced. It'll probably ruin the stock market every other day with all the rich dying but... haha because again, influence does not take part in my decision and probably all of theirs if you think about it

アニメ Hatena Illusion
"It's been a month since I came here" I've learnt nothing new haha poor Makoto
I'm pretty sure if your mom gives you the most precious family treasure she is going to risk her life for something. Mama no~!! Okay we made a similar joke on Babylon haha. In this new episode (#HatenaIllusion03) of a series I will be giving I guess, the animation is really bad. Like, you saw the fight scenes, right? I can't... really. Okay, here's how I will still eventually give this series. I mean, you can see if this is still around next week haha. Now, story. They got a bath scene after what seems to be the girls soaked in rain (that's really important must mention that Makoto got hit in the face twice haha also no one wants to look at you Hatena did you look at Mariah?), but also to the point thanks to Kokomi-chan, the two sat down to clarify all their misunderstandings so far. So yeah, as of Episode 1, Hatena thought that Makoto was female. I mean, she didn't think that far, but then again she probably doesn't know of gender as a kid so... sure. *laughs* Also, that tsundere said it. That she's been waiting for him. *laughs* To become magician partners, of course, in case you were wondering haha. Hey, she's 12 she can do this stuff. Confession it is for sure though, I would admit. And so, as the cloud clears in the night of understanding... something got stolen. Hey, shouldn't have had that sleepover haha. And since the mansion should have defences from outside, we can easily guess who's the rat here. I KNEW we shouldn't have trusted her, that Mariah. THAT B*TCH!! *laughs* And so, the hunt is out for her. Using some Artifact that will probably claim Yumemi as the hacker of the series, she managed to locate Mariah's location at the docks. (But of course) So Hatena went for her, the Master Thief in-practice. And since she's not experienced, you can expect a couple of mishaps along the way. She almost fell down from the sky and this series would have ended lmao. (RIP author) She reached and is probably feeling real hot (HELL YEAH haha she's 12 btw don't imagine things), and here's where the beating up starts haha. Hatena is obviously weak against her opponent, who is revealed to be the sister of her mother (hey aunt where's my red packet lol #CNYfeels) and is of course, taking it to produce more Artifacts to earn a living or whatever. Again, whatever I mentioned last week is true this act is rather immoral but not like anyone else besides the Hishisato family cares about that besides its potential. In what happens to be a real defeat and probably Hatena's short life (lol)... we can cue the hero now haha. So something happened at the mansion, and through Makoto's sheer will he became a magician?? Okay. And now his stick is called... "smile stick" GODDAMMIT WHY MUST YOU BE THE CARDCAPTOR haha also isn't that a really lewd name? *laughs* And that's why you don't let kids name things at 12 lmao okay Muff-kun is fine haha. He comes in to save the girl (Hatena, I mean), and manages to snatch back the treasure. In their argument, and I would like to argue against Mariah, and that's why the mother is preventing all this from happening because you're doing it? You know that's already evil, right? Oh well, and she left. But she'll be back. Hopefully when the mother is around maybe lol she's probably not that dumb. And... this brings us to the first part of the series I guess. I mean, is it not obvious that you have to make a judgement to watch this series now? But to be frank, just from this episode? There are easily a lot of plot holes. Firstly, Mariah's location as they sleep. Not that they should cover it so it wouldn't be suspicious, but it's so secret? And in Hatena's room too? How could she not have known? I just think it's rather absurd haha. Then, is Makoto's power. He just SUDDENLY got his powers? And yes despite it being invisibility and shield is that all he can do?? I mean, APoL has way more action scenes than that haha although I would argue they aren't. Nonetheless, I still think this is weak for a premise for an Anime, and not that I have a long portfolio of watching magic girl Anime, but this one man... is not really making the cut. I'm not criticising of the author to be honest, but I feel it lacks substance. In many ways than other. The theme songs are great so far, I would say. Everything else.. you can watch the animation again I'm not going to comment BLEACH had a higher budget than this China-fuelled production lmao we'll see if we will see you next week I may continue this for Yumemi-chan and if Hatena gets drenched again hehe come on they chased out the big chested woman what have I left to watch? *laughs*
Not me as a programmer haha
The father is still by far, the coolest character so far imo
P.S. I legit get serious Kuroshitsuji flashbacks every time I see that smiling face from the old butler he's the Tanaka of this series where's your cup of tea and ho ho ho- okay haha
P.P.S. "Lucky pervert is part of being the main guy" Man Ema-san you bashing through the fourth wall with a tank there lmao
[Oh and if you ask where's the bad part of the animation allow me to show you an example]
Try watching this in 60fps and tell me if you can stand this quality or not haha ugh

アニメ Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun
"You have been spacing out lately. Do you have a partner?" Yeah it's a half-ghost haha *frantic look*
In this new episode (#HanakoKun03) of probably my favourite series this season, we... just lost Yashiro's best friend. Yep, RIP cutest girl in the story; you will be missed. Haha okay probably not but man, must they make it freakish? Well, at least it won't be gory like the other youkai one I'm reviewing haha. So in this new episode, we have a new Seven Wonder of the school to talk about. This time, as hinted last week if it's not obvious enough, it's about a flight of stairs. I'll do this summary in a more complete manner since it deserves to. According to Hanako, there are many places in the school which can bring things from the human world to the spiritual world. Think a bit like that alternate world in Anime "Kekkaishi" made by that Byakuya if I didn't remember wrongly or those temporary worlds made by Anime characters with special powers, like the one doll house from Bungo Stray Dogs or BLEACH. In this case, it's a step on the stairs. Remember, the rumour will stay as long as people believe. But once you step on it, you will be forgotten forever. Everyone. Even your family will not remember you- I SWEAR this is EXACTLY taken from an original Anime I liked back in 2011 you sure Aoi is not spending Midas Bank money? *laughs* Then again how did this rumour stick on for so long if the victims are gone... Anyways, Yashiro got real worried when her bestie Aoi was completely lost from the human world so no surprise, this was probably done by a youkai. Ignoring what else Hanako could be doing in the day (probably spying on other girls in the girls' toilet lmao), Yashiro managed to get him after school to investigate this incident. Of course, Minamoto who we saw last week, also lost some girls who were probably supposed to come confess to him lol. So yep, the guys decide to just go into the world and check for themselves. Of course, the rumour isn't as bad as it sounds, as you wouldn't get ripped apart immediately as you enter. But the challenge here is then to listen to the youkai's demands as again what Hanako mentioned, the youkai are masters of their spiritual realm, so going against it would not be a wise choice. So, they were tasked to find amongst all the... stuff lying around, body parts that would satisfy the youkai's demands. And there's a time limit too. They managed to survive the first one (I will legit cry if they shipped Yashiro in half, I tell you), but there are many more. Again, I like how Hanako can talk about her weakness and then realise they still have to get to the end which is probably the center of the spiritual world in order to try out if that weakness exists haha. I liked the ecchi jokes here and there (it's two male and one female btw so not surprised at jokes considering Hanako is a-), and eventually they reached the end. I wouldn't want to spoil too much because apart from the wonderful animation I've praised since episode 1, the story was very well adapted from start to end. Never at a point did I think this plot was dumb, but then again, it could use some improvement. But I enjoyed it, so yeah, I'm definitely giving this one. Between that ero-daikon who wants a pair of tits (lol), to a pervert for a half-ghost to some... kouhai? I don't know, he keeps calling Yashiro a senpai isn't she also first year in high school? Oh well. *laughs* All in all, I really enjoyed what I've seen thus far: the flow, the jokes, and everything in between whatever Yashiro has on her chest which is nothing lmao. We shall get a proper conclusion next week on this, and I doubt the trio will get away with this Seven Wonder that easily. What happened to Seven Wonder No.1? Is it the found & lost youkai? Hey gotta reference that Survive Said The Prophet song haha go watch BANANA FISH too
EXPECTATION
REALITY
(haha it doesn't look too bad on her tbh)
P.S. If you don't think Yashiro trying to get boobs is funny, wait till she really gets one haha. Kitou Akari, I mean. *laughs*
P.P.S. I know I didn't mention this, but if you didn't get a hint when some black flamingo flow into Yashiro's hair after she got kindly saved from a fall by a handsome guy in school... I think you might be distracted by Yashiro and her fake tits lmao
When your teacher tells you guys to behave and you're the bad kid who is also ugly lol

アニメ Rikei ga Koi ni Ochita no de Shoumei Shite Mita.
"I'm a man who lives in love!" Kosuke you idiot stop being a smart a** about your Anime girls you nerd lol
Man, did I just screw up the watching order and skipped to episode 5 FUCK YOU AMAZON PRIME STOP RUINING OUR WATCHING SCHEDULE argh I should start watching along with the Japanese on time and without subs to avoid confusion haha I did it before. In this new episode (#RikeKoi03) come on I SWEAR this is Kaguya-sama haha if you need references you can start from there and let this nonsense end first haha I watch every week so in case you don't. *laughs* So, for this they were planning for a date...? I have a feeling I'm not watching a flashback from what I saw last week but, uh... let's leave at that for now it's okay. (See end of review for answers) Ahem, they had to plan a date. Well, Kanade-chan suggested them to plan a date because that's the easiest way to show how couples love one another, to build up their relationship by spending time with each other. I would argue that Kanade-chan again, as of now, still has the closest to any experience of dating considering that they asked the one guy who likes Anime girls for an opinion in which Yukimura praised him wildly about (yay me) and then shit on him immediately for being too excessive in love (haha loser), and the other childhood friend is into BL haha wtf HIMURO YOU TOO?? *laughs* Hey guys we still have a BGR (boy-girl relationship) type of Anime to make so please? Ahem, anyways, and Himuro seems really uncertain about everything somehow, this relationship. She then thinks back, when asked by Kanade-chan on her confidence in whatever she is doing now, on the time she was determined a nerd and bullied in school just by liking bugs. Hey, them kids also used to play with crickets, why bully the girl? Come on, we know I am the real hero she needs lol. So yeah, she was bullied hard, but some boy came to her to explain how much her interests and passion can be turned eventually into a dream career she can desire and motivate to work towards. And that kid grew up to be... SOMEBODY MAKE THE JOKE!! THAT BOY IS YUKIMURA, RIGHT?? *laughs* Ugh this Anime hurts me internally and I like haha thanks Kanade-chan for the save. These two cannot get any dumber this is literally Kaguya-sama it makes me want to scream into the void. Anyways, the two spent a lot of time planning the perfect date on all the things couples would do during one to the extent of when going to an amusement park, to plan the most efficient route for finishing them at the fastest time this is not about dating anymore haha. Kanade-chan is real good at it though she is researching on... Mocho I didn't get you it's called travelling what?? Haha that bear. (Also the reason I knew I watched in the wrong order, read on) And then, to end it off, the guy has to ask the girl out on a date. Hell yeah this might be the best part of the episode. And so next week is.. them going on a date again?? I'm really confused. Don't tell me they are testing the first chapter thing in the manga in Anime too? WTF?? Ugh we shall see next week but from what I see it... I might be in the wrong order. *sigh* Okay, realised it just now because them subs screwed me up real hard so... we'll be watching episode 2 next week. We watched episode 4 last week. Well, so much for a good date. *sigh* Cya guys next week haha we'll get it right in two weeks when episode 5 comes out
[TL:DR; Kanade-chan is going to be fuel for me watching this show every week provided I can get the episode order correct ugh]
This is as wrong as it is awesome I want to see it happen they did it in Kaguya-sama haha
That's irl me and my internal tsukkomi role shining through the light lmao
P.S. "This is Aika-chan? It reminds me of Ibarada-senpai..." Yeah right, Kanade? This guy is like all of us, finding girls to like even though some of them are right in front of us. Well, I don't have anyone around me so... *sob* wait, my sis...? Haha okay no please
P.P.S. "Well, yeah." Kanade-chan is THE BEST tsukkomi character I've seen in a decade haha she's going to be MVP every week she retorts lol more Kanade-chan below haha
That's my "don't try to lie because I know" face lol
That's my "hurry up and kiss already" face haha
[Also, to add this in because I can't anymore postscripts, in the credits it stated that whatever kabbadi girl from Chio-chan was Yukumura as a kid (understandable maybe) and Aika's voice is... Omigawa Chiaki you just blew my mind haha go watch Chio-chan and you'll get these references haha my sides]

アニメ Kyokou Suiri
"That's nothing compared to being deflowered" Okay NOW I'm in let's see that flashback haha Kotoko-chan~
Ah, there aren't any notes written here just yet, because when I normally do we know there's a good series I'm watching right here haha. Hmm... in this new episode (#KyokouSuiri03) in which I have to decide to give or not... How can I not give? Let's talk about it. Because in this episode they actually gave us a larger worldview and an actual plot after dealing with whatever River God which Kotoko-chan had to go to the mountains to talk to from last week. Man, that was quite a drag. I don't think it's a reminder of what the series would be going down the line, because later half of the episode sheds a different light on the whole series altogether. Firstly, the talk with the serpent. Kotoko-chan continued from last week and ending on a conclusion that the supposed murderer, the woman, was hiding something else besides the one murder because... she has dumped a corpse into the river before? Yeah, it might sound ridiculous, but whatever it takes to give a good explanation to the God, man. Because Kotoko-chan explained it as such, that after breaking up with the boyfriend thinking that he killed someone in which we learnt from the police that he didn't because the boss came into her place to confess, the girlfriend had to throw away stuff to forget about the guy. But, the only thing she was not be able to throw away, is a baby. So yep, this show is gross, they really showed a fetus in this series which means this can only air on national television waaaay into the night lol. So yeah, and that's how the woman also knew to "dispose" of the evidence to incite the police after the interrogation to search the river for... the fetus after realising the boyfriend was not at fault. You know, real weird relationship things. That's how you save a relationship?? Lol but then the God cleans up the river every now and then, so... It probably is hard to trace at this point. Storytelling complete. The snake would love to ask more questions but Kuro-san is here so I guess it stopped haha. So, let's hope it'll stay that way; the case is even more creepy than the threat of explaining to the God why a body was disposed at the lake it drinks water from haha. Moving on a couple of years, and our first major arc villian appears. It's a youkai called "Steel Lady Nanse", and I promise you, I may just continue to watch this series because if I do it's because of BOOBS!!! I mean, she is not normal haha. Also, no face. Yeah. Not normal even for a youkai haha. A female police inspector was talking to her superior about this case, and recent cases concerning the youkai ending other peoples' lives. Again, you can refer to Hanako-kun I guess, but rumours are needed to keep the youkai alive, and she is technically fulfilling it so... ugh. *laughs* Still, it is a problem even for police standards with all the reporting of cases and people dying, so it has to be discovered in truth. Truth is, the female inspector can see things. Youkai, I mean. Obviously the superior can't, but then it's also because she saw a kappa one day at the river. Yep, flashback to episode 1, ladies and gentlemen. So Kuro-san was not the kappa as I said lol, but the kappa was speaking in fear of Kuro-san, whom we know now is technically immortal because of the mermaid which he ate- go read last week's review haha. So, she was real scared of it, his girlfriend... and yes, Saki-chan is a police inspector. It all comes together. That's why I can still argue this is still going to be worth the watch because besides the fact that the loop is complete and the police technically can help settle this too maybe they can't see anyways, but you know helping with local authorities is rather important for youkai who like to wreck havoc in a peaceful city. So, if you don't see me talking about this next week then good chances I'll be skipping it THOSE BOOBS THOUGH haha also I need to get over giving one of the theme songs as my own requirement and I don't really want to give Miyano Mamoru for the ending theme song and I did say Uso to Chameleon was not great last week so... we shall see then. *wink*
Since this might be the last episode I'll be watching here's lovely Saki-chan
(I'm ignoring that youkai Nanase for judgement btw that's a distraction lol)
Me when I was asking to get punched in the face haha literally
P.S. "I never would have saved you if I knew you were Saki-san" Man, Kotoko-chan is evil lmao
P.P.S. The last squeal from Kotoko-chan being punched is great I can imagine Akarin in the studio doing it hehe

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Okay, quick one. This week was a long week of releases because basically there's three albums so we will go through them real quick: Base Ball Bear's new album was quite a disappointment considering nothing hit me in particular and the topic songs I've heard thus far from last year was better than even the album topic song which I didn't like, Uesaka Sumire's new album is... very sumipe, so I'm not giving much and I only tried to give one song so you can guess which one it is it's got to do with the night warrior haha what, and Tachibana Rika's 1st album is... okay at best, because once again the only thing stopping me to give more songs from her is not her voice but the songs. It's like a huge trash dump the composers are dumping their sub par quality creations to let her sing because they know it will sell. Sorry for being harsh on that but despite I still gave a couple of songs because... I want to give her chance, really. With respect to that though we might not have any more chances considering she's married and she probably won't have time to do this anymore I guess. Singing., I mean. And this isn't it, everyone. Liyuu's debut single for Anime "Hatena Illusion" shall become my first Klassic Note Review this year because I have come full circle to support a Chinese cosplayer singing Japanese songs lol, TrySail's new single is... only good on the B-side and it's obligatory that I give them a listen every time in which I did, and Game "Alternative Girls" new character song single is... I didn't know TWEEDEES was behind one of the two songs I'm taking the other because it's a better song and the lyrics were written by the seiyuu herself. Juuri... *laughs* Sorry, internal joke only fans who watched that OG livestream series will know haha

Next week brings us more releases despite me having not holiday season over here, as Waki Azumi's debut single is finally ready for release. I... probably wouldn't be giving FOUR songs for it to be on my shelf, but we'll see. It's one song so far after hearing the music video earlier this year where earlier is literally on New Year's Day haha. And since this is the only release for the week I'll be ready to listen to, I'll go back to a couple of releases I've missed mostly from the Anime I'm watching this season as above, like Suzuki Aina's new album which has "Hatena Illusion" ending theme song, for example. I'll find more if I have time during work lol

On news concerning music, Klassic Note and Twitter, TrySail is going global with their releases which will also explain how Asakura Momo livestreamed a half-an-hour video about her new album (during CNY Day 1 too) all whilst eating cup noodles (lmao) and planting a flower based on the title of the album which I'll not read (man she's a YouTuber now PLEASE do the same for the other two members haha), and... that's all you can read my Tweets if you want haha




Welp, I screwed this up.

I intended to finish this by Sunday, and look at the time date now. I'll say this might be the latest post I've done for Entertainment News here on my blog so far besides postponing watching of Anime so so far this is a new record haha. I'm tired already so if you will excuse me... cya guys next time, and until then... we're probably not going to break another record for Klassic Note Review to have one in January because Liyuu-san's debut single for Anime "Hatena Illusion" will be waiting in place with that 10th photobook to come in tandem so I can save on shipping costs haha byezzzzzz
