The Klassic Note Review 2019.06 Issue 1

Well well, look what we have here.

You know, because I haven't been giving releases this long, I figured that two will be better than one. Also, is this a seasonal thing? If so, expect some new reviews this coming September haha seriously the release schedule for the next month is pathetic haha

Hey, you guys know what you're here for, and this time around the theme seems to be love songs. So yeah, unexpectedly good love songs that you probably don't know of. Both from Anime, one of them I watched, but all four songs have lovely lyrics. Let's look into them.



音楽 The Klassic Note Review
amatsuuni - silent days [Single]
ジャケット ジャケット
First Press Limited Edition Regular Edition
(Thanks for the close-up, but what's with the cones though? Even my friend thinks it's weird)

Origin: Hey, you may not know of her, but considering this newbie just had a major debut single (from not really a large music label) and an Anime tie-in (for a show that's literally 3 minutes) this isn't all bad. First impressions were bad here in Klassic Note though, so I'll leave this storytelling for later. According to her profile, she's real young, she's new, she got attention from social media which seems to be a thing for singers these days, and got taken in to sing more songs (hopefully) for Anime in the near future. Specifically, her voice reminds me a lot of ORESAMA's singer PON-chan, and you can hear it throughout when she pushes her voice to the limit. But she is cuter, because just look at her personal Instagram account. All in all, she's attractive, can sing, Anime theme song... easy way to grab attention in all aspects you can think of, and that's why we are here.

(1) silent days
From last chorus pre-verse:
"It's okay if it is not forever
It does not require speal words
(I) just want to say "see you tomorrow" today"
I feel that the title is real misleading just so to blend in with the mood of the Anime, but for Anime "Joshikausisei" theme song which is so short it can only have one song and the whole thing is basically without dialogue (sound effects and noises still in, just no talk) the title of the song just speaks for itself, basically. But yeah, it's more than that. As seen from the lryics both written by yours truly, it's more than just silent. Well, it feels like it, the maiden in love, but yeah, her heart is screaming from within is probably what it feels like, to say the least. As the whole single is composed by the one guy, the theme of the song is meant to be light-hearted, the lyrics are supposed ot tell a story (not related to the Anime by the way), and overall it is real good. Initial impressions aren't good since even thus far I was only heard a preview of it from the Anime which lasts for like 30 seconds that had a cut down chorus, which specifically shortened the last line, making this feel like those extra bits they add into the melody to avoid copyright infringement. I think I mentioned this before, but then hearing the whole song now I think the melody itself is easy to get used to. It has an adequate bridge, the melody is catchy... it's your better than average Anime theme song, and you don't get those all the time.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Anime Average)

(2) Haru to Usotsuki [Spring and (A) Liar]
From first chorus:
"Sakura (petals) sway and sway, (I) urge to meet (you)
Really, (you) should have noticed (it) already
Good bye, waving with a smile (in your face), (you) liar
Talking to myself, (I) mutter the words "in love""
This is a love song. No surprise, it's what brought me to give the review in the first place. The melody is simple and it caught me immediately, probably faster than I can get used to the chorus. It may be the wrong season to talk about Spring, but the lyrics itself has some deep meaning I can share with you guys. The feels I got from this song is definitely meeting up in a sakura blossomed area in that time of the year, and hoping to do so again, obviously, with the person you like. It must be a great Spring, to say the least, but that liar portion feels like getting friendzoned as much as (the girl) she wants to confess her love for the one she probably spent many days with. Will it ever happen again? I mean, if it's in the song I'll tell you, so yeah, she can only say it to herself, poor girl. Is this what it feels to not get the love you want? Then again, as much as this song as much meaning in its lyrics, the melody as you hear, is simple enough as it's catchy right from the chorus and making me like this song more than I would like to. But hey, she did it, which is impressive. The composer kindly also shortened the bridge so I won't have any way to complain on this song whatsoever, to be honest.
Rating: 4 stars (Nicely Average)

Conclusion: A really good single that might easily get washed away in the music industry, and I wished more people would have heard of how great amatsuuni sounds (as much as it feels similar to ORESAMA's singer without the electric pops) so I would say please give this a listen. Whether you have given the Anime or not, this single is really good. I want to give better, but we know of its flaws. Otherwise the lyrics make you feel you want to be in love, and I think to say the least, it was a well done single.

P.S. "To tear up in pink" That's when she just got her first period lmao (hey I can make these lyric jokes now haha I'll have to translate it to you guys though)



Now that we're done with newbies, let's talk about lovelies! Is that how this works? No? I can't be lyricist? lol MOCHOOOO~~!!



音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Asakura Momo - Smash Drop [Single]
First Press Limited Edition Regular Edition Anime Limited Edition
(Close-ups for the win!! That much of make-up though... Well it was for the theme so I guess this is resonable)

Origin: We should be rather familiar with Asakura Momo ("Mocho" from here on) - a MusicRay'n "Super Idol Seiyuu" (I'm not joking look it up), member of idol group TrySail, lovely Anime voice actresses especially for kids shows if she ever gets more roles, and a total dork. That last one, we all wish we will see more, but this far, it's all the moe-ness you can get from this blur-headed treasure who just walked herself into the entertainment industry. A couple of years in already, and she is on her (goddamn) 6th single and her 2nd Anime tie-in (her 3rd is in an upcoming single, mind you) she is on a roll, to say the least. Thanks to her talent company and production, this one is just a simple single to give I would say, but it wasn't without struggles. I only gave this 3 weeks after its release date, which means I really got thrown off by the topic song and only after the peak season of release did I come back to re-visit, and eventually give this the thumbs up. Let's talk about love, Mocho.

(1) Smash Drop
From first chorus:
"I want you to smile more
It's a simple yet deep wish
Can it really be fulfilled?
By (your) side, not
To unlock the future, bright and shining
It will always me who is giving (to you)"
In case you think this song is about action, you're not wrong, but it's definitely not about fighting. It's a love song, surprise surprise, and I would argue Mocho is really good at this already, so this just takes it to another level, I would argue. The first turn-off you should have noticed for me mentioning about music genres, is over-emphasis of beats. Especially dance and electronic tunes. So this one took it all out and placed it right in front of my face, which really set off a bad impression. The good side is that the melody is actually not bad, as much as it is rather obvious sometimes it's to facilitate the insertion of lyrics (middle of chorus, for example), but otherwise, I can give sub-par a thumbs up. The melody barely passed, to be honest. The lyrics though, is a different story. It's positivity all around, as Mocho sings to make this song so happy, I was smiling all the time singing along with the lyrics. All in all, the lyrics are sweet and lovely, the melody is passable, so sure I'll give it.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) Shuukurimu [Cream Puff]
""Is this happiness?"
As (my) friends asked (me), (I) thought about (it)
As long as you are here (I am) in happiness"
As usual, I gave the single because of the B-side, and this is no exception. Simple in melody though abrupt, but eventually it's the lyrics that placed the cherry on top of this lovely cake. We are talking about cream puffs though, but then again the melody does give off a feel of affection and firgiveness, and it really feels so too in the lyrics. As a maiden falling in love, talking about everyday life and how much the girl is forgiving the many things the partner is not doing normally as a couple (not go out on dates, got angry because she was late) but hey, she still likes the one guy is all she can say. Referring to the dessert, I don't know what to feel from it, but since it's from Mocho, I think that is good enough. The melody overall feels abrupt with immediate stops of instrumentals which definitely feels weird, but a nice chorus and a short bridge does puts this song in a good light, so I think it's worth a give. The lyrics sure make this song so sweet I fell in love with Mocho again though, just saying.
Rating: 4 stars (Lovely Average)

Conclusion: All in all, I wouldn't really recommend this single because it's a good single, but because I like this girl called Asakura Momo. Although I'm pretty sure that once you have listened to this single it'll change you mind to how love-oriented they have made her solo music career so that we can all love her, as innocent and probably clumsy she can be in person. That, I can recommend. Also, if you like dance pop then the topic song is totally for you. It's okay; not watching an Anime and giving songs is normal in Klassic Note because if they are good I'll give them. This is a good example of that.

- Kaineng, on the Klassic Note

P.S.  *listens to lyrics quote above for B-side* Ah Mocho... *dies* (I WISH haha you gotta treat her well, man)
P.S. "One tap to break (me) will be okay" So if I tap your va**** I'll break you? Haha I suddenly feel the urge to do her, uh, I mean, do it lol (It was meant as a love


THE PACKAGE
Wow that took a while. But yeah, let's jump right into what came with the two CDs, yes? Remember, I will NEVER buy singles only because of special gifts haha is that not obvious enough
Firstly, amatsuuni. Again, someone please explain to me the meaning behind the cones (is it because it's to stop conversations? uh oh) but otherwise you get a lot of her face dribbled all over the package, to say the least. It's not much, it's simple for a Regular Edition single, so I won't comment much. On to the gifts, I chose Toranoana since my first two choices ran out which are "All Local Stores" version (which includes the Teichiku record label store and Rakuten) and the one from "AmiAmi" (they both sport her best camera angle haha) and also because the store is giving out not one, but TWO bromides (thanks Toranoana!) because one was for the release for the store, and one was from the store itself. Man, such publicity to get her on oricon charts haha. Anyways, don't ask me about the cone, me saying her being cute is formality (lol), so let's move on to the real cute girl here haha amatsuuni please don't hit me
Don't mind the white line on Mocho's right eye it's reflection from the plastic
Next, Mocho's single. As usual, nothing much, they even skipped filling up the back of the booklet which only has 4 pages (which fits into print for one piece of paper btw) (same as above) so yeah, very minimal, to say the least. Still, it could be worse, so I'll take it. As for special gifts... I know this is sad but I still have to say it, it has been THREE WEEKS since release and I still get to get hold of stock from Animate (Online Shop) one of the most popular online stores in Japan, which says a lot about sales. I'm not going to comment, I feel bad for her already by not really putting a recommend on the above review, but yeah, good for me then I can catch up to her releases to say the least. But yeah, I thought it'll sell well, but you know, Nan-chan (Natsukawa Shiina) was like this too btw so I'm not going to act surprised. Moving on, the theme here is about gems which explains about her make-up and donning of jewelry. If that makes her pretty I'm fine but hey, I like natural look Mocho. I've seen her photobook, so I can say that. More of those instead, yes?



This is it then. Man, half an afternoon. How long since I've done this already? Man, I need to give more releases more often haha probably not I guess. Coming up most likely is a review of that one manga I promised Kawai Makoto-sensei (author of Anime "Koufuku Graffiti") (not that though) I'll buy her final volume once it comes out, so yeah, it happened. Just give me like, 3 hours to read through all three volumes in Japanese (yeah going raw, bois) and maybe I'll do a write-up by tonight. Dinner time now, I guess. Until the next post then.

P.S. All photos this time around taken from a new desk mat, so it's less glaring now because of the material but it's also shorter in width so if I zoom out you'll see my desk haha thanks China

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #24

Hey, guys.

Another week, another week of... verifying my spending on the Internet because I spent like, hundreds on international shipping. Don't thank me, everyone. Doing my part to maintain those delivery routes that keep the world connected haha *sob*

What, I'm going to talk about how terrible my work week is and how I just helped out my friend on his school assignment on programming? NO!

*laughs*

Yep, Bungo Stray Dogs first again until Senko-san gets an interesting cliffhanger BOOM got'em haha




アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3
"Nothing is impossible for a great detective." Well, unless you get out detective-d by another genius haha sorry Ranpo-san it's the plot
Again, if Chuuya has anything lacking it's intelligence he'll get outwitted by ANYTHING lmao. Okay in this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs35) there is fighting. There is action. Yes, it's happening. And dammit do we have to wait for another week for the conclusion, spoiler alert. But yeah, there is good reason that it has come to this. The mastermind thus far, Fyodor, has chosen to corner both groups to a final resort, which is to fight it out. Whoever wins shall be able to get rid of the opposing leader and make their one survive the ordeal. Sounds easy, but hey, there is good reason why both of them stand strong in this city of Yokohama. Let's talk about plot first. The Detective Agency chose to approach the Port Mafia's tower first, it seems, leaving Atsushi and Kunikida behind since the former can investigate what happened to Katai (spoiler alert, he's dead), and the latter can still try over what happened to the kids from last episode lol. (Again, Kunikida, it's not your fault) Anyways, some they can play along, but some have other plans. We do know of a lot of interesting new information which I've much anticipated or even not in some cases, but hey, this is an action show after all so everyone's gotta have an Ability. Even Ranpo-san. Thank goodness I was reminded of Season 2 where his buddy Poe-san brought him into one of his novels, so yeah, apparently Ranpo-san's Ability is similar too. I guess both are similar to Lucy's power of alternate worlds. So yeah, suck it Chuuya you idiot you're going to be in there for a week minimum lmao. Also revealed is that lemon bomb guy (apparently he's still alive after all this) who literally thought bombing up the whole building is the best way to signal the enemy to retreat. Is that how it works? Terrorism, I mean. *laughs* And finally, even without the book Fyodor stole from that idiot of a Port Mafia executive (lol), we get to know what Mori Ougai's Ability is. (Well Fukuzawa is a swordsman so I guess that requires no Ability anyways) (A reminder that his Ability is not attack-based from how he "saved" Kyouka last season) (Also, pure power btw) It's Elise-chan, of course. If you bother to do some research, Kafuka-sensei - the author for this series - chose to tweak the Ability name from what should be "The Dancing Girl" to, you know, make the guy look way cooler than he should have been, so good for you, sir. So yeah, Mori's Ability is to manifest a puppet he controls, sort of like Kyouka and Kouyo's Abilities, I guess. (But you know, Ten-chan is cuter *laughs*) What will happen next now that the two leaders have chose to leave their beds poisoned and meet up in a secluded location only known to them (and possibly Fyodor)? Your guess is as good as mine. Although I would argue that accidents are going to happen even if they don't anticipate it. The poison might still trigger on them from time to time, man. Good on them for making it to the meeting though, probably sneaking around town just to get to there maybe haha. Man, this season is going to end great, and I can't wait. You know the series is good if you can hype over two organisation leaders fighting in any action Anime series. Okay BLEACH may be underwhelming mostly but still lol "COME!" That's Fukuzawa and also me haha
This is so cute I can't even
This is so cute I can't even?
P.S. If it's part of my job that my family will be threatened? I'll just quit. *laughs* Oh we can't do that? lmao
P.P.S. *Kyouka sees Akutagawa* Haha try to control my Ability by talking to my phone now! lol he probably still can tbh
[Because it has been 10 years too for me and I feel like I'm living the BLEACH dream again, here's a GIF]
This is like Bankai reveal in BLEACH but different
(Yeah it's not as pedophilic lol) (*remembers Mayuri's bankai*)

アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san
"She seems like one with plenty of force and authority"... Must be the chest lol
Ah Nakano good for you we don't have snow here so even if it rains cats and dogs and our trains don't work I still got to squeeze in the buses- Oh you still going to work? *laughs* In this new episode (#SenkoSan10) we describe the worst things that is in work: working even when nature calls. Lol I'm not talking about the toilet (your company will probably let you do that lmao), but yeah, even if the weather's bad outside. Thank goodness for that phone message, amirite? *laughs sadly for 20mins* Firstly, the bad weather. You know, the cold. Which never happens when you live near the equator (1 degree North, to be specific) but hey, you'll wonder how I catch a cold haha. Anyways, Nakano gets a day off his work because of the weather (explanations to why above, and trains don't normally run underground in Japan), and he sort of gets to play with Senko-san in the snow. So that's fun. Enouji was close to joining them but uh, she hardly has any Enouji to walk to the convenience store at this weather, amirite?? *finds someone to high-five* (because Enouji = energy) Haha anyways, it was a fun day, Nakano decides to enjoy more warmth and touches Senko-san's tail, totally forgetting it's not a non-living object like those faux tails, so... that demigod just caught a cold lmao. The other half was that super old demigod's visit to Nakano's place. You know, that one who served him food at the beach not knowing they walked into her premises technically, so yeah, Shiro-san got punished for many more things than I mentioned in that episode, to say the least. She is Sora, clearly more senior than those two probably with their ages combined, and is also clearly shown by the number of fox tails she has on her back. You know what's better than one fox tail, guys? FOUR! *laughs* So yeah, she thought the same as Shiro as Nakano seems to not get enough relief from his work (man, I wish I was in Anime) and... literally offers her body to the guy. I mean, if you're a petit old woman real life me will absolutely say no, but hey, if Nakano only wants tail then the rest don't matter. Especially if it's Senko-san's tail. *laughs* Anyways, Sora laughs it off, but warns him about an impending disaster should he anger Senko-san. I wonder what it is. But if a calamity is about to happen whether Senko-san anticipated it or not, it might be a good way to end the series here, whether it's original to the manga or not haha. We shall see then, we shall see...
When you thought Senko-san cannot get any cuter
When you thought Senko-san cannot get any cuter
P.S. "I'm too old for this" And then I immediately make a snowball and throw at Senko-san haha come on Nakano we know you can do this it's not illegal to hit kids... kid-like figures lmao
P.P.S. I don't know why every time I fail to say "sen-ko-san wa ha-ppyaku-sai" is this supposed to be a tongue twister? If it is I'm tongue-twisted lmao "sen-ko-san wa hya-ppaku-" DAMMIT

アニメ Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
"...There is no point in doing a group study" I would like to quote that one girl from "Asobi Asobase" who was top student in class because she studied with her bf? lol HANAKO NO haha
Haha oh god this girl is beyond saving already at this point SHE STAGED HER OWN DATE!! *laughs* In this new episode (#AoChan11) I think "just sex me already" will perfectly replace the title because... those panties aren't going anywhere. *laughs* Oh man, it's all so confusing to the reader here, I'm sorry, so here's the breakdown. Nothing happened. *laughs* Okay, the story. As mentioned above, Ao-chan staged her own study date with Kijima, and... I guessed she enjoyed it haha. I mean, asking for sex sounds like a man's dream, and I swear Kijima is totally aware that there's a banger in front of her in the empty house, but you know, Kijima is not like this. If you need clarification, and I share the same thought, there are men out there who draw a very clear line between sex and everything else a couple does. Coune me in too, by the way. If (that's a big IF btw) there's someone I like and is dating, sex will be THE LAST THING I'll do to her. Mainly because if that's what you are aiming for you're no different than a beast. I mean, we are kind of, but we shouldn't insinuate ourselves into it today, to say the least. I already promised myself to remove all the porn I possess IF I ever get laid already haha. *shakes head* Anyways, coming back here, Ao-chan tries to hint Kijima into sex-ing her, but Kijima gives a challenge in reply: whoever improved their upcoming test score more (More? For Ao-chan? lol) will listen to one request from the other person. I know Ao-chan already lost since she is incapable of even wearing silky panties since it doesn't warm her stomach (TIL btw), so yeah, it's Kijima's win then. Again, not the way to conquer a man since many do but don't go to sex, but hey, Ao-chan you do you. *laughs* We are also close to the end of the series already as hinted by next episode's title, so... what do you think will happen? Sex sold separately, by the way. *laughs*
This might be the most depraved woman I have seen this season lol
I'm lifting the ban to post lewd shit goddammit haha
P.S. "Keep quiet and let me give it to you" I'm here for Ao-chan's Waki Azumi's scream btw haha okay Azumi-chan can we date now?
P.P.S. "Does this foolishness come from not knowing of pleasure?" I have a lot of questions to ask Ao-chan but... *long silence* yes haha

アニメ Joshikausei
Well, that was such a wholesome episode, they gotta put in a conflict to balance it lol. In this new episode (#Joshikausei11) it's about the kotatsu. In case you don't know what that is and you're like me who lives in a place where the average temperature is warmer than a kotatsu lol, it's basically a coffee table with a blanket and heater underneath. Pretty simple idea for keeping warm, and I swear it's way harder to do that with a real fire source in the past than it is with an electric heater now, but hey, it's an invention nonetheless. The girls hang out at Momoko's place after a long day at school (I suppose), and they play with mikan and draw each other badly lol. Hey, if this is how a good time is with friends I need to sit down and talk to mine lmao. Well, the girls can't really talk in this girls' talk so this will have to do haha. And they gotta play a prank on Momoko before they leave, isn't it? Ah, this series is stupidly awesome. The cuddling is also quite wholesome too assuming everyone doesn't smell like fish lmao don't hit me
That is called "using hoodie as a bag"
And that is called "don't sit in until you take off your outerwear" lol



[Update 2019.06.19: Because my replacement phone arrived on Monday and I dozed off on Tuesday. Also, those packages, they keep comin' haha]
アニメ Attack on Titan Season 3 Part.2
"It's so big..." The airship, guys. The airship haha
I mean, what can I say? My son is too smart, bro! Didn't expect to betray the heck out of me lol. In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan57) is... honestly quite a lot to absorb here, so let's talk about it as we go. Story goes that in another world where Eren's father Grisha was in, he was within walls (lol what a coincidence, dad) and treated like trash. Problem is, the world surrounding him is a truth. There is also a world out there that is suppressing his freedom so leaving the premises seems like a sin even just to see an airship without an exit pass. Blah blah blah years later Grisha came to know the truth working as a doctor, and that was linked to his past where his sister died due to his little outing with her. Well, it wasn't a natural death to say the least. He learned of the resistance within the walls and eventually became an influence to the group, leading the Eldians as they were meant to be, supposed superior race who held Titan powers and ruled the world. (TIL there are technically 9 Titans around, so that's a relief) (I thought it'd be like BLEACH that I can make as many of them as I like) (Well not just injected with Titan spine fluid kind of course) Solid history there though, I sure hope the author thought it through, but yeah some saw it as evil and took them out. I mean, what's wrong with making a deal with the devil? *looks at Kutoshitsuji* Anyways haha, eventually the humans won, took hostage of the Eldians and trapped them within those walls should they try to revolt again. Interesting story comes in here, tied to the world we know of as of now. Firstly, there is the royal family. Supposedly the people who possessed the one Titan power that got split into 9, these people with the blood of the one ancestor who signed contract with the devil, were the first to rule the continent. (Well, they can't write for all continents so...) So yeah, eventually the King left the big island and went to a small island, ignoring all war that happened in order to I assume preserve royal blood and the Founding Titan power. Today, we know of that power as seen in the previous part of this season ie. the One which can command, with the blood last seen by Lord Reiss licking it on the ground and turning into one lol. Anyways, it's probably not him who pussied out, but yeah making death threats was the reason why Wall Maria was never taken down until you know, the very first episode of this series. Secondly, how there are at least two parties looking into obtaining the founding Titan's power. Spoiler alert for those intruders, it's pretty much gone lol, so yeah, Zeke and the Titan party AND Grisha and the Owl, you guys are going to be finding a whole lot of nothing. *laughs* So yeah, that's pretty much the story, as linked to Eren by his father on a very, very long dream. If you need an opinion about the backstory for me, I would say it's well thought out as much as it is a lot to absorb (I mean, it's an Anime and they have to put it all together to make it sound correct too) but all in all, this episode explains pretty much every reason to what world Eren and the others are living for thus far. Zeke who was Grisha's first son became a traitor, working for the other humans for personal gains. Grisha's later son who he probably got after sneaking into the walls and meeting a woman and starting a family, Eren, sought to find out the truth and why they were within these walls. Hey, guess what, Eren? Your walls were made to protect you guys. And that, might be the biggest relief to all story thus far. I'm satisfied, I guess. Next episode would bring us the final fate of Eren, on whether he will be spared or not by what, not obeying orders? What? You guys know at this point with all royalty gone and the main island coming after you guys that he is YOUR ONLY SAVIOUR, right?? I mean, we have seen probably 4 of the 9 Titans thus far, and there is negotiation for this, but man are you all treating Eren badly. Why? Why people want to seek the truth but also like to bully people? Oh well, not like I want to live that life anyway. What will happen to Eren though? If everyone within the walls want the truth, they better not think of killing this boy who changed all of this impending fate. Heck, it's still an island, goddammit. And we can barely see the horizon. Going to the sea is going to be easy, Eren. You just gotta live through this arc lol
The thought of this Titan being absorbed by Grisha at some point is...
... making my hair stand up like Mikasa haha
P.S. "His name was Zeke" Oh man Grisha what have you done~!! haha
P.P.S. It may sound like a very messy review above but man was I convinced of the story. But yeah, makes you wonder who's the bad guy here. Again, making deals with the devil isn't bad until you do evil with it. *laughs*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week was... quite a week in Klassic Note. I completely changed my opinion and gave amatsuuni's major debut single the thumbs up to be on my shelf (must be the release cover lol) along with (wait for it) Asakura Momo's latest single which I thought wasn't great until I gave a listen to it, three weeks after its release. We'll talk about both of them as soon as they come earliest next week, but until then... yeah there isn't much to give now haha. New songs, I mean. Looking back, DENIM's new album is actually not too bad, as I quickly (maybe) got hooked (during work) on some of the tunes which did get stuck in my mind over the week (in work) (lol) so yeah, I'm giving more than quite a few. They sound like Yogee New Waves but with rap, to be frank. I also managed to give a listen to Middle Kids' new EP and... let's just say I'm trying to ignore any religious lyrics that might infer whatever because I'm technically a free-thinker haha. I decided to give also Tomatsu Haruka's new... digital single but I gave it a miss since I don't think it's good. Oh well. It just feels repetitive imo, the style and all. And of course Yuuki Aoi's new album... I'm hesitating to give songs here. Mainly because it doesn't sound like her and the good songs are real hype and I'm not, so I'll to be in the mood to give more, I guess. Oh, I also gave KANA-BOON's new single a listen and... nah. *laughs*

Next week... I may need to dig in to some artists which I may have missed in a while, I suppose. That or I'll just review the ones I've given and not given so far for a start. I can't really name names here since I don't recall what I told myself (Note to self: Next time write here first as a note), so we shall see. I'll probably update on Twitter if I find anything good.

On Twitter and all around the web, KANA-BOON's bassist just went MIA for some reason (don't ask me why he may be delinquent/a victim for all we know) so they had to cancel their recent live performance, Amamiya Sora's new music video preview is looking real cool (the song though?), Porno Graffitti's new single come sout in end July, nano.RIPE's new single releases end August, and THE ORAL CIGARETTES has a best compilation also due end August. Yeah. That's quite fast, to be honest. Oh well, time to give more songs then especially those early indie ones. Oh also, Aimer's new single comes out in August. Yeah, she has been releasing a lot of new songs, I'm just not giving them lol




That'll be it then. I wanted the last part to be quick but hey, so many to even just mention, let alone comment. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I may be busy updating this blog with my previously mentioned expenditures and I can't WAIT to share it here with... nobody. I feel satisfied and sad now haha bye

P.S. I did get a change of PC speakers though that new soundbar is SWEET haha thanks Creative why is the subwoofer crooked though

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #23

Haha what a way to treat a watermelon Yuuko-chan what have you done to Run-chan's helmet

Well, my phone broke after half a year. Turns out it's those left in stock new phones that probably deterioriated and wasn't meant to last already. I hate you, local seller. Too bad no warranty so I can't come for you. Ebay is my new friend now I could buy three of the refurbished ones now at the price I bought it last December. Dammit. What a waste of money. Then again, I wasted a lot of money this week which will be shown in the following weeks, so stay tuned for those, I guess. *laughs*

And as promised, action show first because Senko-san doesn't fight anything but Nakano's desires lol




アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3
"Your brother won't die, I promise." You still wanna die, kid? You won't be with your brother then. (Is this how talking to suicide bombers work? lol)
Can I call this arc "Fyodor playing a Dazai"? Okay, in the new episode (#BungouStrayDogs34) of "Fyodor playing a Dazai" lol, Dazai is still hospitalised but no one wants to kill him so whatever (yes he wants to die so we're doing him a benefit by killing him anyways), and... everyone is thinking of ways to you know, kill the other Boss. Story first, I guess. All of them were in the hospital where Fukuzawa is, and Tanizaki became the bait. With his illusion Ability, he sent everyone else off so the hospital won't be torn up into pieces with all the fighting, and relayed a message that Ranpo-san will solve the mystery of who is behind it instead of fighting head-on as Fyodor suggested. But all was a fluke as even Fyodor took care of mystery solving genius by placing a fake lead to the criminal who might be behind the Ability of the poison administered to the two leaders. Man, this bad guy is real bad haha he also capped the time on this so you can't do this forever too. With a wild goose chase filled with Russians (lol whatever), little kids and plenty of gunfire sadness coming out of Kunikida (Fyodor you sick fuck) (on the other hand Kunikida don't let that get in your way when kids die in this series it's never your fault lol), and the Detective Agency still didn't get to find out who the real culprit is. Then, with not much time left keeping Mori-san or even Tanizaki alive, the illusionist plans his escape. (He's not a magician I assure you) Well, that was quite successful to say the least, but not if he has to also kill Mori as a secondary objective and not need to be protected by Kyouka when he almost got ripped apart by Kouyou (hey I remember her name now). So yeah, back to square one I guess. Funny how no one is dead yet "I expect some mass killing" lol Fyodor you won't say that. Fyodor did mention last episode that don't even try to find the culprit behind the virus though, so I guess he did plan all this in advance should any of them even try their luck at solving a fake puzzle. Lastly, Fyodor's motive as mentioned by Atsushi. I mean, it is pretty obvious he wants something to happen in the city of Yokohama, and probably wants to take over this place in which I don't know for what, but man, is he using every trick up his sleeve to churn up the perfect plan. I would like to believe The Guild's Louise is behind this (you know, "she plans then I steal"), but it's unlikely and Dazai did say he's as smart as him (lol show off) so yeah, we might just be dealing with a scheming bastard. They say teaming up is strength but in this case, pretty much everyone is overwhelmed by this one guy. What will happen next? Your guess is as good as mine. Interesting how it hasn't become a killing spree because writing those is hard huh, Kafuka-sensei? *laughs* To end this, Fukuzawa mentioned in Anne's Room (where he is safe from assault because of the Ability) (thanks Lucy haha we know you love the weretiger lmao) that his life is nothing and the two groups should not fight under any circumstances. I would believe he is right, but then how? I mean, he could just bite his tongue and that'll be it. Mori survives, the Agency gets a new leader maybe, and Fyodor can do nothing but watch. If it were that easy, ladies and gentlemen, we wouldn't have this many episodes to talk about them haha. We're not even close to the truth yet, so I wonder how mysterious Fyodor can be is tbh
The bombing is too violent so here's Kunikida's reaction to all this
Man, you did real well this episode, bro. I'm impressed
P.S. And then Tanizaki is going to take a scalpel and slit Mori Ougai's throat- Wait, did Dazai tell him about this or am I having deja vu here? oh it's not happening? haha
P.P.S. MVP Gin because we know she's cool even without talking lmao "I can feel the bloodlust" oh Kouyou we talking about Tanizaki? haha NOT MY SISTER!! <=Tanizaki

アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san
"I'll help" "What did you just say?" haha Senko-san that burn on Shiro 
Again, this show talks about Gratin and they have half-an-hour episodes. Man, the luxuries of airtimes lol. In this new episode (#SenkoSan09) we talk about Senko-san learning new stuff. It teaches us that so long as you have the basic skills, learning new stuff related to it will be easy if you're as smart as Senko-san lol. Firstly, how to make Western food. You know, I swear Nakano has never had cheese in a while thanks to Senko-san's wonderful Japanese cooking. Not that it's a bad thing, but Japanese cooking hardly uses any cheese (not true today but centuries ago probably), so Nakano is missing it somehow. She wants to cook it, but she has no one to ask on, so surprisingly Enouji knows how to do it. Well, it's not tough so I guess you can do it at home... but she's lazy to feed Shiro is the point haha. So yeah, cooking lessons, everyone. Not you, Shiro. *laughs* Apart from the slip-ups including showing off that scared blue flame in front of a mortal (lmao), Senko-san still did it pretty well. See? What happens when you got talent and learn new things haha. I mean, I can't cook for sh*t but at least I don't put sugar on my cup noodles lol. And then, we have a haircut session. Yeah, right in your apartment. Not unusual because I did that as a kid too at my mom's friend's place, but yeah, they do better than the ones in the malls but not compared to the real good Malay barbers if you know where I live. Those times were gone and rare now, as people rather do quick cuts than go for more detailed process like what Senko-san did to Nakano. Not the reconnecting part by the way the mortals can't do that lol. Well then again I don't know why people look at me and cut my hair so I still look like a dork, so I guess I also need some help from Senko-san but now I'm worried I'll end up in a samurai hairstyle lmao is that the video game way of testing our haircuts? Haha sure looks like it. All in all, happiness episode every episode, so this is no exception. Now I want some Gratin mom can we have that? Oh we don't have an oven *laughs*
This is actually kinda cute haha
Not Anime reference? lol
P.S. "Reiwa ni Osusume" Man, even the TV shows in Anime are updated for the new era lol
P.P.S. Just so you guys realise during the Gratin cooking session, Shiro-san ONLY boiled the macaroni. That's it. *laughs* (#NoSkillRequired)

アニメ Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
"Please submit the events you want to do next week" SEX!! Oh, it's sports festival? Sex is a sport! *laughs*
This... might be the most emotional episode we'll get for this series. In this new episode (#AoChan10) we get a dad episode. I swear it's not all bad, but this will explain the father's existence in Ao-chan's life thus far. Totally reminds me of another Anime which I'll explain later, but let's talk about what happened. Kijima got asked to go for the cheering party for the sports festival, so it kind of motivated Ao-chan to sign up for the festival since she can get cheered upon by the.. guy... she... that one guy. *laughs* I don't know why too but it gets her happy for some reason, so whatever haha. Problem is, the father wants to attend. You know, father cheering on daughter kind of thing. Very normal behaviour to be hoenst, until you realise this dad does everything but good for the image of her own daughter, and that's not really a plus for him and the girl. So yeah, they kind of quarreled whch led them to isolating each other like how a normal quarrel might end up (Yabe-san is so happy at the father's work progress lately lmao), and... Ao-chan feels bad about it already. Consulted by Kijima to do good, she decides to apologise to the father... and he's in school already. Uh oh. Will that spell trouble? Spoiler alert, it's a yes (haha), but you know, he has always been there for her, even if it means ruining her image in school and possibly make her want to live alone to preserve the image she desires, but hey, now that everyone in school knows you're a G-cup... to be honest outside of Anime? G isn't that big. *laughs* (Don't quote me on this I only watch porn and masturbate haha) All in all, the dad was here, she cheered her on in the best way he can (aside from the last lap lol), and I feel that with the flashback and us being reminded about the importance of family support, it's no wonder this will (most likely) be the most emotional episode we will ever get. Well, if next week's episode of Ao-chan getting pounded will make you cry because you worry of her virginity you are forgiven lmao. To end this, I would like to take reference to a similar theme related to this episode of an Anime titled "Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei", a show released in 2012 talking about a guy's university life ruined whichever direction he decides to take, and it's all because of someone he knew at school. He's a friend, he's mostly the one that'll make him regret his decisions, and he can't stop him from appearing in his life because they are friends. That's fate, just like you and your parents, ladies and gentlemen. Never forget. *sob*
You know you found the right man if he can make you jump lol
*laughs non-stop for 10mins*
P.S. "I won't hand out novels or anything this time" yeah right with your work covering all entertainment genres it's hard to imagine you won't come up with something lol

アニメ Joshikausei
Wow, how many shows this week want to make me cry? *sob* In this new episode (#Joshikausei10) hey as expected from last week, we get a flashback episode for Shibumi, the other girl who dons a pair of glasses. From middle school, she has been quite a disciplinarian, as we can see from her being (I assume) class chairperson and you know, hating people around her and stuff. Hey, that's what happens when you get lonely and not be loved, okay? Not our fault lol. Anyways, she intelligently proposes the removal of accessories in school (which is quite an outstanding feature to identify between Anime characters so HOW DARE YOU lmao) which obviously, gets the disapproval of many, including those who might want to confront her especially seeing her in one too. So yeah, she felt the burn after getting literally bullied in class (it's still a thing in Japan, mind you) and getting her only accessory which is a hair clip given to her by (I assume since no dialogue) (you could've just said obaa-chan and I'll know lol) her grandparents for her birthday, and... it got ripped off her head and trampled on the ground. The latter was an accident. Still, she was left alone with despair until Momoko saw it all and decide to help her piece it up all together. Using I guess the pins on her own accessory which strings the beads together, she was able to piece Shibumi's hairclip up to her usual shape. And that is how to get a friend haha. Okay, that aside, but yeah, based on a true story maybe I would assume. Still, didn't change Shibumi's mind about removing accessories but technically you can chain all your hairpins up and it'll count as one. I don't know who has that many but I know Imari-chan from Anime "WORKING!!" will have a lot to do that lmao
This is so cute I can't even
This is called "Kihoruda Tsukenai"
P.S. Just when I thought this show cannot get any cuter they gave me kid Momoko with twintails hehe
P.P.S. For a show that can't have dialogues and can present a short emotional story in 3 minutes, I'm impressed.

[Update 2019.06.11: When there's E3 press conferences to catch up and Yuuki Aoi appearing in a livestream, you know this Anime can wait haha well the exciting stuff's over, so...]
アニメ Attack on Titan Season 3 Part.2
"I'm glad.. you're back!" Yeah we just sacrificed the Commander to save you, just so you know haha
Ah don't worry Armin you don't have that capability to be Erwin's replacement haha. In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan56) in case you just got spoiled about last episode already, Armin is awake. Yes, he or she or whatever is alive, and unscathed. Well, recollection won't be a strong point for Armin here since no one wants to remember that, but yeah, they did tell about what happened. You know, saving us trouble to show him last 2 episodes haha. Anyways, the episode's pace got slower as many recollections appear and Levi, Hange, Erena and Mikasa head to the basement of Eren's house to discover the secret the father has been holding back from him the whole time. It's quite a build-up of suspense so much that I want to beat the Anime production up lol, but it ended with a simple statement: There is humanity outside of these walls. Thanks, dad. That's all I needed to hear. So yeah, turns out the people here are backwards in technology already, and thank goodness this isn't the end right here. We got a quick insight into next week's episode and what would be Eren father's past as he left his own walls of what looks like West Germany? Hitler, is that you?? *laughs* Anyways, he did that all to bring his sister I believe to see the airship land, and... it probably was qute a journey trying to even leave the borders. So yeah, I guess we're on that now. Well, it's still despair probably, but hey, we can forget about Erwin once in a while. Haha sadded still I guess. And I'm glad I don't have to wait for Season 4 to know the truth. We'll see how many episodes this can bring us then. And as I would have said to end this, FINALLY some plot progression haha
Aw... truly an emotional moment tbh
What I would look like if you spoiled ANYTHING from the past few episodes to me before I watched them
P.S. "Why... did you pick me?" Well Armin, just watch last week's episode, okay? We don't have time for flashbacks haha
P.P.S. Hit me if you will (please don't), but kid Mikasa is the cutest in this series. Prove me wrong haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week is... well I'll talk about what I have heard so far. Yoru no Honki Dance's new album is pretty good maybe, but then again I gave all the topic songs and only like, one of the new songs, so... I wouldn't say it's a sounding success. Still, three new songs ain't bad in Klassic Note for an album. I just heard amatsuuni's major debut single before writing here and... man, I have to give this? That's what happens when you hear only the chorus, guys. It gets real misleading real fast. Since it didn't come on time I will talk about it next week. (Okay my bad it was on Apple Music haha) (That's... how much I don't want to give it lol) I also caught up with Spira Spica's new single and Niitsu Yui's new mini-album from last week so that's good.

Next week mainly brings us the one Yuuki Aoi's new album which I don't even know how to start giving after hearing that music video of a topic song, but hey, I'll try, Columbia Japan. *laughs* And this also means I should go find songs to listen too then. Man, it's getting real dry here without any new releases, honestly.

In the news on Twitter, some of Horie Yui's music videos are on YouTube ie. open to the public (mostly the recent Anime theme songs only though so that sucks), Primary's yuiko is planning on YouTube livestreaming somehow (which probably won't show her face) (she don't look too bad though thus far, covering it up ClariS style) (besides, you guys know I don't judge singers by their face), and I'm spending some time designing what seems to be the new Ultimate Collection album cover art. Inspired by some "I'm the xxx guy" T-shirts, I guess.




That's it for the week, I guess. Still doing plenty of work outside of work (Preparing database for Klassic Note? That's what I do every day) (Inspired by work I guess haha) and plenty of preparations on the blog and more importantly, spending of money on stuff I want and stuff I need. Hey, the latter could be avoided if not for that phone. *sigh* So yeah, I'll submit my financial report here in the following weeks (lol) so be sure to stay tuned for it whenever it arrives. Hints? It includes a second auction trip since 2016 (no joke, I told myself not to do it already but still), a manga series with an ending I can only know ASAP by buying Japanese originals (yep), and... something to make my music listening at home not suck. No really, the current speakers are crackling already. I can afford to prepare for the end of year shopping spree where I intend to upgrade my PC, you know. Okay, enough talk. Cya guys next week, and until then... probably not this week, but who knows? Well, I hope my phone comes in soon this backup one I have (5X btw) is just half as fast as the one I had haha bye

P.S. It may not be awesome but I may have to give amatsuuni's new single since the B-side is good haha soon

Sunday 2 June 2019

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #22

Hey, TIL you can do a livestream signing of Tachibana Rika's new single. Eh... you don't get the sign though she just signs it in front of you and reads your comment maybe haha wtf

Again, not learning my lesson to watch Anime on Sunday mornings so I didn't get to nap in the afternoon again. *sigh* I need to finish my tasks enjoy my entertainment a little earlier but yeah you bet I will next week at least with Bungo Stray Dogs. Senko-san makes me feel like a pedophile haha okay let's forget that and move on




アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san
"How many days (of summer vacation) did you get?" "One." That is me when my mom asks me to take leave and I don't wanna lol
Hey, if it's ONLY one day off I'll be sure I'll stay at home. Well, if you have a couple demigods and a rack for a neighbour then maybe not lmao. The new episode (#SenkoSan08) brings us to the beach?? Yeah, because every Anime series needs that obligatory beach episode, and I know it's just a man and a bunch of kid-like figures, and that's why Enouji Jasuko had to join in lol. They played in the sea, enjoyed the sun, and had barbecue. Best things to do on the beach, yes? Ignoring whatever is behind all this (the fact that they are transported there through holy gates), there's more mystery to where they actually are now, even if Shiro mentioned it's some secret place that she knows of. I mean, it is. The only other way people will be there is if they barely survived a capsizing and drifted there haha. Anyways, we can't question this and our screwed up work lives every time (looking at you, Nakano), and even me watching this on a Sunday I also know tomorrow is going to be work again *sob*, but hey, you gotta enjoy the time and live in it, yes? Simple premise for a series, but it makes me wonder how it will end now. We are soon to the end, we have been introduced once again to the other demigod who sits in the world amongst Senko-san and Shiro-san, she gave Nakano the feast (which is not her rack surprisingly lol), and... hints on confrontation sooner or later. Hmm... I mean, it wasn't meant to be, this pairing, or even this pampering for Nakano, so even if it were to go away he'll just go back to his sad working lifestyle, so... I guess it's on Senko-san then? Well, hopefully more backstories will determine how this will end eventually. For now... I'm glad I get to see some fun even though if I were Nakano I wouldn't even move because THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY CUTE YOUNG GIRLS IN THIS!! Haha yeah Enouji you don't qualify and I'm not into 800-year-old kids lmao
This is so cute I can't help but put this as thumbnail haha
Public use of demigod powers is strictly prohibited lol
P.S. Lol the best part is going to be when they have to send Enouji back home do they just wait until she sleeps or they just knock her out? Haha also Enouji is clearly requested by production to compensate for the lack of... fanservice *laughs*
P.P.S. Stop reminding me to exercise and do warmups I didn't do any of those I only cycle once a week maybe lol

アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3
Man, it's just the one hospital, guys. Do you guys own the place? lol I mean, Mori Ougai probably is one who does own a hospital haha
Wow man, finally some progression I must say. In the new episode (#BungouStrayDogs33) Fyodor finally took action. Man, you know how long I've been waiting for this? *laughs* Anyways, let's talk about the rollercoaster that has just happened. A mysterious killer is on the loose. You know, those suspicious enough to gain any amount of attention here lol. Firstly, Fukuzawa the President of the Detective Agency, has been assassinated. (I mean, his Ability doesn't protect him, so... why you out on the streets alone at night again?) Not immediate death of course, just a deliberate plot which we will see later. He seemed to have been poisoned and is unconscious, so that's not good news. Meanwhile, this assassin has been gaining all the attention in the area, so of course Port Mafia will be around to take care of things before the one guy becomes more powerful than them lol. He eventually surfaced by getting counter plotted by the gang, and is the one guy who thinks he's more powerful than God himself, that Guild member who was almost killed by Akutagawa. So yeah, if a reminder of his powers is needed, he manipulates blood which makes him a strong attacker and probably look like a stealth killer, but hey, he's not the only one. Turns out he was being used, and here is where Fyodor and that book he stole from Port Mafia episodes ago come into play. (Man, this show is so good at this haha) In finding a way to dish out the assassin, Mori Ougai had to put himself out in the streets as leader of the group and supposedly, as I guess they know the intention of the killer already, assassinate the leaders of the two Ability groups in Yokohama. So yeah, it did happen, a bomb went off while he and Elise-chan were in a car (OMG Ten-chan I want to be my Ability so much haha), and if you didn't notice, he survived. So yeah, Fyodor took the extra step - as scheming as he is - to go in stealth and deliver the final blow disguised as a policeman. Pure without intentions maybe, but I'd like to say Mori can avoid that lol. Anyways, that's what happens when people just need to know a little about your puppet-livesaver Ability and prepare a counterattack on it. (We still wouldn't know what the Ability is exactly though but this will do hehe I see what you did there, author) And so, both leaders are down. But they aren't just down down, oh no, and according to the guy himself after being confronted by Dazai who is as scheming as he is, it's cannibalism. (We will ignore all of Fyodor's real motives in obtaining some book for now too much to talk about liao) If you need explanations for the titles of the next couple of episodes feel free to drop a message on Twitter haha. (Yes it's titled cannibalism) Anyways, that "poison" is an Ability sort of virus that infects two hosts and will only be nullified if one of them are dead, so... yeah it's literally asking for a fight between the two groups who have recently just announced a truce after whatever happened between them and the Guild. But hey, Fyodor had to ruin the beach party haha. Of course none of them can trust each other, so Port Mafia takes action first (I'll quote their half dead leader on this one), arriving to the hospital Fukuzawa-san is. Well well, and next episode I might just go crazy I would watch this first because THE ACTION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! I can't even hold my breath I need to go back and watch overpowered Elise-chan again haha this tension's going up and I can't wait!! (Not describing my boner btw lol)
Only happy thumbnails this episode so...
... ahhh wtf Elise-chan??? *jaw drop*
P.S. Can I just continue to talk about how much I want this to have a spin-off series where it's just a slice-of-life of Mori Ougai with Elise-chan? I don't care I want this to be the new Usagi Drop haha (imagine my face as the thumbnail that's how happy I'll be if it happens haha)
P.P.S. I mean, everything would easily be resolved if one of the victims this season is Kurotsuchi Mayuri from "BLEACH" man just replace all the vital organs and one of them will be technically killed. No one will be sacrificed- Oh this is not and everyone is human? Okay haha

アニメ Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai
"You receive one punishment every time you say the word 'Kijima'" lmao yes that even though I'm worried what the editor-san will do to her haha *sees next frame* well there you go lmao
WTF lmao dad you branching out to making adult toys and sex dolls now?? (If that thing on the bed reminds you of Miyabi you are not alone lmao) Ao-chan I still wonder why you haven't level up your financial status yet your dad is making money out of everything here haha. In the new episode (#AoChan09) we... may just have an early conclusion to the series if what production now wants is a happy ending, no joke. Ao-chan decides to study. This should come as no surprise to all of us considering we all watched the first episode but hey, we are 8 episodes down and this... might be going in any number of directions besides that, to say the least. Kijima is all in Ao-chan's mind right now which is kind of cute, but yeah, it's really stopping her from studying, the goal that she has always aimed for which is good but really shows how badly she can handle study and relationships at the same time. (Hey, aren't we all?) (Well I don't have relationships when I was studying so you tell me haha) So yeah, Ao-chan is as horny as she is desperate, so Yabe-san punishes her for not focusing on study. Like really, man, that level of fanservice is thankful, to be honest. *laughs* Anyways, Kijima also knows that, following Yabe-san's hint, dropped by her place to hear how she actually feels considering as the dad mentioned, she is not easy with words (but her body is BOOM got her haha) but yeah hearing her out makes Kijima determined to not interfere with her studies and instead, actually join her in her studies so, you know, they can be together. Aww, how sweet. And yes again, as the dad also mentioned, Kijima should show her the ropes of what it's like to fall in love as a teenager instead of being influenced by the father's works (please Ao-chan do some Internet research at least, geez) so yeah, that makes them friends now haha *points censored sign* All in all, a nice episode to end the series- Oh we not there yet? Uh oh. What else is left though in terms of story progression? We getting sports festival next week and the dad can't be in the audience to watch? "Okay, make that an episode!" <= Anime director and scriptwriter (lol)
I like how it says "return (product)" instead of "trash" lol gotta get that money back
#LifeGoals had Kijima in it now haha Ao-chan you innocent girl
P.S. If "DO IT" is not what you are saying to Ao-chan on your viewing screen when you watch Kijima walk away from her you are not human see a psychiatrist immediately no joke
P.P.S. "Don't go please" "Then I won't" You wish relationships are that easy lmao only in Anime ladies and gentlemen especially the gentlemen haha

アニメ Joshikausei
Teenage life can be so simple, am I right? In this new episode (#Joshikausei09) we got quite a flashback. Didn't expect them to slot in one of these, but sure, I'll take it. We dwelve a little into Mayu-chan's past. You know, the one with pickles as eyebrows and isn't Tsumugi from "K-ON!" lol. Everyone has to start out alone in high school, but for Mayu-chan it... might be for quite a while. As many tables surround each other but not her during lunch, she knows she's going to get left out real quick until she notices her neighbour who at first look might be some kind of yankee or something. Scared, she distanced herself even further from everyone until she noticed Momoko playing with shadows under the sunset and decided to join in. And that's how friends are made, guys. *laughs* And it's also then that they played a lot with each other and on that evening they were playing shadow puppets until the sun went down. Man, if only things can be this simple. Now everyone thinks this is stupid and stops playing now- Oh it's just me? Uh oh. *laughs* Anyways, I don't mind another episode starring Shibumi's story (the other one with the glasses btw) so... may the theme song be good next week haha this show is light-hearted and fun I almost forgot it's 3 minutes long
I'm not sure what that means but FUCK YOU WTF haha
That's called a kettle because I don't know what it is called in Japanese lol
P.S. This postscript exists because I can't stop thinking about Tachibana Rika (voice for Momoko) trying to floss dance in that video on Twitter lmao I have to explain to my non-gamer friends on what Fortnite is even though I don't play it haha Rika-sama kawaii~ (ooo I didn't notice the afterword she will try this again?? hehe)

[Update 2019.06.03: Oh boy can't wait to see what happens this week haha yeah I never got this excited for this series ever]
アニメ Attack on Titan Season 3 Part.2
RIP Armin may your intelligence live in us forever- Oh, we can save Armin now?? lol
Hey, this is going to be fun. In the new episode (#AttackOnTitan55) we decide who to save. If it gives you some deja vu as to that other action show above this review, I'm sure it was a coincidence haha. I know the one above is quite hard to decide, like, between two gang leaders technically speaking (lol) (I promise I'm done relating to Bungo Stray Dogs here haha) but this one... it's quite an emotional rollercoaster. I decided to let my emotions take the best of me for this episode, and with a solid argument in this conundrum, it was a fine ending. I'm not going to spoil you here (yes, the postscript is a fluke), but suffice it to say what's left of humanity has been rather simply (for sake of plot progression) condensed down to two people. For one, Armin sacrificed himself to get burnt good so that Eren can deal the final blow to... that Colossal Titan (nope, not spelling that name again he's dead for good), and in the end is literally scorced to his death but is still barely breathing. Lewis was about to hand over the syringe that was passed on from Kenny to Eren to save the guy, but... in comes the only newbie survivor carrying Erwin the commander on his back. And yes, the usual "who to save" scenario emerges. Both sides provide rather solid arguments which I will let you determine after offering the sides and my opinion. So, supporting Armin's revival and Erwin's death are, of course, his close friends Eren and Mikasa. Eren argues that he was a master strategist, devised many plans thus far and even drew out the enemy, and Erwin did nothing like that. To be honest, that was quite a solid argument considering Erwin only lost his arm lol. Eren also childishly argued that Levi was about to hand over the injection until he saw that newbie appear, as saving the leader naturally became an option. Not wrong, but hey, gotta save that leader to keep up appearances, right? On the other hand we can always get a new leader. Haha Levi is that why...? *laughs* Anyways, spoiler free still haha, Eren also then talked about his personal experience that he wants to go to the sea beyond the walls as a trio, so... that I guess that excuse can come in when it wants. On the other side supporting Erwin's revival and Armin's death, Hange argues that Erwin's experience as a leader and tactician would be vital in keeping the human species alive within the walls and a chance to defeat the Titans which are now at this point, standing beyond those walls. (I won't comment on that, but fuck you Zeke haha) Levi also of course delivered the most logical argument ever, which is we have to revive the leader. Not wrong, considering what's left to command of the Scouts I would argue Levi is enough for his squad sort of to be in lead lol. But yeah, in war keeping the leader alive is vital in showing prowess and that your force is still standing strong at less than 10 lmao. All were told to stay away as Levi makes the decision to obviously, save the leader. But [SPOILER ALERT] Erwin had that last breath to deny that injection. I guess he's scared of needles? (I'm so sorry I gotta make that joke) Haha so yeah, then Levi remembered: He was about to save someone who was just prepared to sacrifice for humanity. So screw you that one newbie, you don't know your Commander well enough. So in the end, Levi gave it to Armin, he devoured what's left of that Colossal Titan that Zeke couldn't save (yep he saved Reiner alright thanks to Jean haha) (yes Jean live in agony forever you idiot) and... Armin survives. It seems like simple storytelling to me now, but man, did I shed a tear when they made the decision to let Armin die. I did a salute and tribute last week, I'll do it again. But yeah, I guess I have to salute Erwin now, you commanding idiot hah. A~nyways, Armin gets to live, Erwin fulfilled his duty to die with the newbie army he sent them off their deaths (so many young lives I'm so glad we are in peacetime so I don't die for the Army lol #ConscriptionProblems), and all is well. Next week... I guess we'll know about the truth even without War Chief Zeke telling Eren about it. We are either going to get a good surprise, or... maybe wait for Season 4? I don't know man I hate this suspense haha I want next week to happen
I want to make the joke by spoiling it here, but nah I go spoiler free
I want to make the joke by spoiling it here, but nah I go spoiler free
P.S. Attack on Titan is like loot boxes: you put in all the effort to do something to get the best chances of success and you still barely had a chance at it. And in the end it all fails and you're back at square one with nothing. *laughs*
P.P.S. [SPOILER ALERT] If you don't know what to do if your dreams come true on the day we defeat the Titans, start thinking about it bro 'cos YOU'RE COMIN' BACK!! Haha nah not doing it

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
I mean, I could summarise this week's paragraph with that Twitter Moment I just posted but I guess I shouldn't just do that lol, but if you want to skip this then that is faster technically haha. cinema staff's new single is... okay, I guess, and we are so close to putting it on the shelf, but hey, I only gave the one song which sounds like a potential insert song for the Anime they did the ending theme in for this release. Edoga Sullivan's new EP is actually nice to listen, as after listening to the topic song I thought I was expecting a whole lot of pops but instead there's a bit of everything. I ended up giving the other song which also had a music video released recently which can be found here and here for the Anime theme song so... yeah, they are pretty good. (Not talking about her looks here haha I don't care about that) Spira Spica's new single is... surprisingly different compared to the previous release, but then again their pop style is kind of sinking into me a little, and I'm still thinking whether I should give another song besides the topic song, so... we shall see. Niitsu Yui's new mini-album might be controversial in that besides the new song which had a music video I have not intended to give anything yet. Maybe one more, but I'll see if I can brainwash the melody on myself haha. Lastly, I gave Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new mini-album a chance because I heard of the release just last week as mentioned, but... uh... I don't even want to give anything. Sorry but your previous release was way better tbh

Next week brings us two much anticipated releases at least in my opinion. Yoru no Honki Dance's new album is quite a long time coming considering they only released a single last year before the album the year before, and amatsuuni's major debut single for Anime "Joshikausei" may be disappointing, but I'm feeling hopeful. I mean, I've given this many releases over the past month to be able to tank another song which is sub-par, so just don't make it too bad in full, yes? *laughs*

On Twitter this week (oh boy), Rie fu is returning to Japan after probably a rocky journey singing songs in UK (I don't know I should pity her of her stuck with Anime theme song or not), ClariS is releasing a new cover mini-album after years doing one for spring songs for this is summer obviously, I reviewed Teshima Aoi's album in 2014 because Lynn-san hosted an AMA with the fans late at night and she mentioned about this song (it was a good one btw I gave it), Yoru no Honki Dance revealed a new music video and it was okay, and cinema staff's indie catalogue is available in streaming services including Apple Music. Phew! That was quite a mouthful. I did try to give Teshima Aoi's album but... uh... I have a feeling such a style has been presented on Hanazawa Kana's album in 2015 called "Blue Avenue" and that sounds better haha okay it didn't catch my attention anyways




Okay, and I'm done. I'll probably do up a mid-week post considering I'm getting another public holiday again BUT I didn't take any work leave because shit's happenin' (lol), so... I guess I'll see someone there then. I'll be there, that's for sure. *laughs* Cya guys then, and until then... APoL is in my agenda for now. But from now till then I should try to read up on what I want to write and how I should write it. That is, if I can stop playing the many games I just added to my phone haha bye
