The Taste of Forbidden Fruit: What Otakus Actually Buy In Japan Part 4

I would like to effective call this post "Twelfth Book Worth of Photos" but you know, we have a bigger problem to worry about lol

It's not clickbait, I promise you, and it's technically true. "Forbidden", provided it can still clear customs lol I did not think of that haha but hey, it did arrive so let's talk about it. Of course, that is only part of the story, and as the monthly package for the month of October 2020 has arrived if you have read the Klassic Note Review two days ago, yes, this is the follow-up post because I still have to work... yesterday haha okay let's talk about not work




Haru Tachibana x Yuji Fukushima Photo Exhibition Official Catalog
Itou Mayuki 2021 Calendar
ORESAMA - Gimmme!
Ueda Reina - Literature

As you can see, we have CDs, we have photobooks yet again (technically not because the title says catalog) which will be the bulk of this post probably because that calendar... I can't show too much haha you'll know why, you'll know. But now that I've seen it all... maybe the CDs are the ones that won't get age gated haha uh oh what have I done...!! (Is that why I split them? Haha deja vu)

Yeah the photos the deliveryman and my dad showed me were so small, this box, compared to when I saw it on my bed haha

As usual, a lot of padding lol what is with the box flaps

Ooooo I know this one haha we've talked about it in my previous post

Wow, so thin
(*imagines money fly away from pocket*)

So, so thin...
(haha)

Her smiling brings a joy to my face, as much as I feel like I'm being scammed lol


写真集 Haru Tachibana x Yuji Fukushima Photo Exhibition Official Catalog
This is very alluring for her age, I'll say that
Let's talk about what I bought and also came first (lol sex joke), because Tachibana Haru's recent photobook collaboration with a famous photographer Fukushima Yuuji (feel free to look it up, I don't know the guy lol), who so far as I have researched, is probably a hired photographer, but is then a couple of months ago, doing a gallery of photos he took of women... in very scantily clad clothing. Yeah, even Futon-chan with this book too. So, I guess I should warn you, that I will intentionally censor some of these images if I do so please, so you can watch without having the guilt of- Did she even wore anything underneath? *laughs*

Hey, I know this! She posted it on her Twitter
(And coincidentally will be tomorrow's wallpaper on my phone)
(The digital one)

One strong point about this photo shoot is showing off how freckled her face is.
(Honesty, just how I like it)

Yeah I put it in front for the jokes, but man, remember that photobook?

Uh oh.
(*giggles*)

Oh?
(Haha lol me)

This must be the best shot in the book, this close-up.

Hanazawa Kana, is that you?
(No really, compare this to her photobook before she got married)

Okay thanks for making us remember that the world was on fire when this book was out

OMIGOD!!!!~
(Hands stretched on top of your head, please)

You're telling me I can do anything to her??
*pulls hands away from own crotch*

She's wet haha I think I made that joke before
(Yes the white portion is where the porno is lol)

Excuse me while I, uh...

...Take a load off my work stress, I'm gonna...
(haha okay me)

Somehow her and water go very well

I mean, look at this- Did she even wear anything underneath?
*gasp*

Wait is that a nip-

Wow, that was quite a book, wasn't it? I'm s...sweating more than I should normally than the 10 photobooks I've reviewed from last year *wipes sweat* haha ugh I thought I could come up with a stark contrast comparison from this to the other thing I'll be mentioning here but you got me, Futon-chan. My initial impression though, for picking up this forbidden fruit, is actually to show my support for her after even so long, as much as I have stopped on reviewing photobooks, this is probably the one and only occasion I will do it again because of the circumstances (collaboration with a photographer, and hopefully she will get more soon tbh), and also because she has her own fanclub now. I promise you, I'll have to pay waaaay more than what I paid for Minase Inori's fanclub for a year if I were to sign up so... yeah. Until next time, Futon-chan. Oh also, this is a limited edition photobook only for the promotion of the gallery event so you won't find any of these out there... anymore haha unless you know auction sites

Let's move on with the unboxing, shall we? I promised more the last time I reviewed these which is like two days ago lol

This is THE BEST stylised logo for JASRAC ever I promise you haha
(FYI, are the ones in Japan in charge of music copyright; You see them most often at lyrics sites, the Japanese ones)

In case you don't know of the duo Pon-chan yet... haha

Ah, this. I talked about it in the review.

You can refer to the Review again, but yeah, there are two events within the same day which are (1) talk event which one can only apply by mailing back the attached form within 2 weeks of release which I missed, and (2) the online signing event which, you guessed it, can be applied online. So yes, yoroshiku desu, Reina-chan, on the 22nd. I'm totally going to enjoy this btw hehe

I saw this and I'm like where's the end of the "ra" going to lol

Yeah this pretty much sums up my October of 2020 just these two singles and not believing that I fell in love with Ueda Reina haha

Okay okay, before I proceed, hear me out. As with all the other years, I thought of finding a calendar for next year as I've done all these years, and as of October as I was searching for people I know and their calendars if there are any... I'm afraid to say even now, I have not found any candidates. (Follow-up post will be included in the actual calendar review happening likely start of next year) (Again, this is still October) So screw that, I said, and I tried out a daring attempt in... shipping rated goods haha so I went for Itou Mayuki 2021 Calendar which is available on like, Amazon Japan (under a warning page, of course) so Mayuki-chan you're welcome lmao this is going to be the only time I'll give you money probably haha. This, is also a wall calendar, but it's also, in a nutshell, something I probably cannot hang in my room because my parents will talk about it. *laughs* Hey, my dad did talk about the cute girl on my desk ie. that photo frame, but this one will see them burning my room. *laughs* Yes, it's that bad. I'll try to show some of the images, but yeah, remember Douki-chan manga? If it's anything worse than that I'll make sure to Photoshop them before I post so LET'S GO EYES CLOSED HEAD FIRST haha (yeah as in dickhead sure whatever lol)

See how this long tube compares to the size of my bed and you can guess how BIG this actually is

It's very, VERY big
(G cup, by the way)
(Don't zoom in to the top right too, by the way)

Ah-

WOAH WOAH OKAY WE REALLY CANNOT SHOW THIS haha I'll... see how I can pull it off on the actual calendar review lmao. And if you didn't zoom in on the cover, this is also what I saw... after I added into my cart on Amazon Japan. Yeah, it has nudity in it, totally. Not going to censor anything but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. I'll still blur them though Douki-chan is probably healthier than this in content level imo




To end this on a... calmer note haha (*fap*) (yeah we guys call it refractory period lmao), and as you should have known if you have followed my adventures in Entertainment News, I have found a replacement for this if... I haven't burnt enough money and this falls through lol so yes, Minase Inori's fanclub only desk calendar for next year. Yep, you can't hang that on the wall. *laughs* Yes, Itou Mayuki here is totally a meme purchase. You can say I literally bought this because of this post. But serious talk though? She's a great individual lmao okay don't go searching for her I will get sued by your parents haha.  Cya guys next time then, and hopefully by then... uh, sorry to say but, we're not done with this year lol well upcoming for now tentatively will be Inorin's calendar for 2021, that autograph of Ueda Reina I'll be glad to ship here lol, and (sorry Mocho for not your tour postcards but) Toyota Moe's livestream series event goods. Yes, these bromide photos will probably shoot her to top spot lmao I think I need to go buy another photo album. Until next time, guys, and don't go jerking off to this blog post, okay? Please, just... don't

P.S. In case there are people out there believing what I said was not a joke, dear Futon-chan probably was wearing protection upon her (already flat) chest. If you don't know why, then you should have wondered if her mother even allowed her to do nudity for anything. Also, I trust that she won't. Also also, you can't see anything close to one; Just take my word for it. I'm done explaining haha night

The Klassic Note Review 2020.11 Issue 1

Yeah I thought of checking the package status this morning and I saw it preparing to ship to my place by tonight. Yes, tonight is now, ladies and gentlemen.

And also, to avoid getting too high about this and the fact I still have to sleep to work the next couple more days lol, I'm splitting this up. I'll do up the reviews first because those are easier technically maybe or not, but yeah, I'd like to talk about music first if you all don't mind. Then, on Thursday probably because tomorrow night SUCKS (lol) (yes work), we'll talk about the rest of the package.

So, without further ado, let's talk about... to be honest, the most rewarding risk of a Klassic Note Review issue yet. Yeah, no joke. Well, music wasn't part of the risk haha lol




音楽 The Klassic Note Review
ORESAMA - Gimmme! [Single]
(Well, you just need to know that, just like their other releases, these are very ORESAMA so read on to find out why)

Origin: Finally I get to talk about them in all their glory from indie to major and how I've heard of them all these years. Everyone, meet ORESAMA, an indie duo a long time coming. They started years ago as an indie group, with the guy writing songs and Pon-san our dear female vocalist singing them. As you can hear for yourself, they specialise in dance pop, not exactly a popular genre out there, kind of niche, but they got recognition real fast. Also for an Anime theme song for "Alice to Zouroku", they major debuted in 2017 with their 1st major single, and that probably broke all the records they have so far and many years to come. For previously they were depicted through drawings and animations, major debut allowed of them to grace their appearance in front of the camera, as they have been in one of the best music videos I've seen ever since, no joke. Fast forward beyond their boom until after their 1st album which died down real fast in Klassic Note, I still pop in from time to time to see if they have any great songs to offer, and this one I can't miss. It's for Anime too, but unlike the comedy series itself which is a joke, this is such a wonderful song for an ending, it's almost unfitting for it. Let's talk about why.

(1) Gimmme!
From first chorus:
"Ah call it good night
To be amazed, (at the extent of) the brightness of this world
This bleak happiness, (I) see in (my) dreams"
For being an Anime song, the lyrics easily fit into the theme real well, since it's mostly about dreams and sleep. But it's more like having a good night in the night club but you'd rather spend it in your bed, of sorts. The song itself might be simple in melody, but it's catchy and easy to take in, so you can't say anything bad about it once you get into it. As mentioned earlier, it takes a lot to like this dance pop style, and if you can take it, the whole package of this song is actually real good, to be honest, and might be their best in a while. The music video is only going to make you like this song more and especially, their vocalist Pon-san even more with all the cosplay and fainting.
Rating: 4 stars (Quirky Pop Average)

(2) Yakou no Ame [Rain of Night Stroll]
"Dear rain don't go, don't leave me alone and go
The scars that don't disappear and stir up (from time to time), again alone, (for the) rest of the night"
This, is definitely changing my impression of ORESAMA, for the better. My typical impression of them is like of a dance club: happy, joyful, having a great time, and they are entertaining us through music. But this, is one of those sides of them you hardly will see, and that I think above all else, is why I liked this song. Through it's slow beats and meaningful lyrics, this truly represents the feels of being alone and sad in the rain, walking through the night. This loneliness, I'm sure you have felt it if you tried staying up late. Hallucinations begin to form, solitude becomes a necessity. I think just walking down the feels of this tune, I can totally feel that running through me. Don't try to put this on the next lo-fi pop radio YouTube video, I tell you; They deserve more than that. I would argue though, that the quieter moments of this song might be too quiet, as heard from the beginning and bridge parts, which may or may not be a plus for this song.
Rating: 4 stars (Lonely Average)

Conclusion: I doubt we will ever see another perfect release like this one from ORESAMA, but I trust they will deliver something better than this in the future. Meanwhile, if no one has heard of them even outside of Anime theme songs, be sure to support them and give them a listen if you like their style. This style isn't everywhere in the Japanese music industry, and I think they make of perfect fit for Anime. The major debut only made them shine further into the light.



Ooo boy am I going to scream from my bellows if I wait any longer for this next one SO!!!

(Haha)



音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Ueda Reina - Literature [Single]
Artist Edition
Anime Edition
(I didn't have a choice the Artist's Edition had one more track which is as good as none so I had to take the Anime Edition. I think we got over that aesthetic back in 2014 already so don't mind Elaina if you don't know her)

Origin: Okay, about why we are even here in the first place. To be frank? I don't even know much of Ueda Reina. You may think this is a joke, but if not for the Anime, I wouldn't even give this a listen. But since we're here means something happened between her and her other voice actress friends that have made her voice sound so well, let her show off her singing more than anyone else, and brought her appeal to me. I don't even know if this is her usual style in her years of solo music, but I can tell you, this is truly an impression on many levels. If you think she sounds like Hanazawa Kana or Hondo Kaede, you're not alone. Let's see if we can find out more about what her music career is with this release.

(1) Literature
"Where are you going?
...Slightly far away
Leaving behind things (memories) for my dreams
Choosing what (I) like
Because (freedom of) choice is what will make of me"
It's an Anime theme song for a series I've been watching "Majou no Tabitabi", and if I say the lyrics need a compatibility test because the lyricist literally nailed this too well, I may still be underestimating my words. Every corner of this song is a description of Elaina the main girl and the world around her as she travels and doesn't say much about the things around her, just enjoying travel, helping out others, and writing her fascinations in her diary. The lyrics covered everything, I'm not even exaggerating. Kudos though, to the music producer, a seasoned Anime producer who also packaged this song that will make of impact, though swift and smooth, though soft and sweet. A true example of the power of music in face of Anime, and I must say this is a very good attempt. I may have been harsh on the bridge for being too high on pitch or off notes for some in the chorus when she sings, but maybe the melody is not fitting for the singer herself. But if this is meant as a healing song, then it has done it, with impact even, to the level of the music video too.
Rating: 4 stars (Anime Standard Average)

(2) Hana no Ame [Rain of Flowers]
"Summer without you (I) feel slightly lonely
Passing through (days in) the long spring (I) will continue to sing
(I) will not lie Tu lala lila"
Yes, this was the one which blew my mind. Let's just say I've not heard of a soothing melody all year, and this one threw me off my rails, and then some. The lyrics ensure that I never forget the feels of seasons changing, and also, a cute and lonely girl's heart shouting out for company. Coupled with Ueda Reina's soothing and soft voice, this might be too suitable of a song for her. I would like to think the composer is also of such calibre writing in such a style, picturing the music going along with Reina-chan feeling for her own written lyrics... Now you know why my fear for giving this single went away as soon as they played nice to me. All the way too, except maybe at the end not so much, as it could have had a better ending. Still, this makes of a lovely song I would find once in a while in mainstream, and I will never expect to find again unless Toyosaki Aki came up with another single. Hey, she filled in that gap, what can I say. The music video is a special project where they asked for fans to upload photos of two-flower arrangements and it was patched into a music video sequence.
Rating: 4 stars (Lovingly Above Average)

Conclusion: All in all, I came in from doubtful and just wanting to give the Anime I watch its opening theme song, to now I think she is idolism material. What can I say? I'm already too into it by now, just like how just two songs can change my mind about voice actress Ueda Reina, and I think Reina-chan, I'm pleased to have met your acquaintance. Even if you have not heard of her, this single brings about a soothing feel that one will not easily forget, so be sure to immerse yourselves in a world of Anime... and flowers and Ueda Reina herself, why not.


-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note

P.S. In case you didn't notice the irony of the opening quote ORESAMA did lose to a voice actress in music haha Reina-chan...!!

[This Klassic Note Review is sponsored by Lantis Japan haha okay me (Now you know why the joke above)]


Haha is this too passionate of a Review? Seriously man, really did not end up believing they can be on my shelf. I guess I need to remember this feeling again, huh. PACKAGE TIME!!!



THE PACKAGE
Yep, no unboxing, that's for the next post, don't worry. Meanwhile...
Let's talk about ORESAMA first and leave the best for last haha. It's not much, it's just a simple package in this time so I'm not that surprised, doesn't come with special gifts of any sort. I believe they want to keep a lower profile on this release, but hey, I still liked it so I'm giving them the support they need. And besides, I'm here for the music, really, not even for the music video. That's Klassic Note worthy, understand?
On the other side in IdolismLand... *laughs* Sorry man Ueda Reina gotta make you look different than mainstream a bit. Yes, as you can see, I tried hard for this time as soon as I realised I can give the Anime theme song AND the B-side. Heck, I even had a choice to get which store I liked. So after some thinking though of what special gifts to get for her seeing like, you know, which one has her best image for me so that I'll remember her (longer), and surprisingly this isn't the best thing that has happened. Yet.
Yes, if you have been following my Entertainment News posts and that Saturday post, you should have noticed that, with this purchase I also obtained myself a spot at the online signing event happening in about 2 weeks time. And I tell you, it's my first. *laughs* Now you know what I'm fantasising right now lol okay it's online, it's on Lantis' livestream website MixBox anyways, and I'm just going to get an autograph (my first ever FYI) so let's not get too excited about it until the day itself, yes? Haha so thanks Animate for the bromide photo and spending time to probably get it from another local store that still has stock and informing me through mail about the delay *wink*, and it's totally worth it that I chose this instead of the others from Lantis' official store A-on STORE to Gamers which is totally a contender if not for out of stock to maybe Rakuten thank goodness. *laughs* No, I totally did not even bother to read the news on her artist site to know of that event, really. *giggles*

Okay turns out there is also a talk event I can participate in, but since that one application only came with the physical release, and despite the window being two weeks after release date... I had to wait for the rest of the package to come. Hey, international shipping fees be real ex at this time of year so... I gotta make compromises besides I can't type Japanese for sh*t- FYI if you really want to watch too I think it's for the public too, it's the 22nd this month, 2pm JST for the talk event and 4pm for the signing. I just... don't get the special bonus for not signing up that 2pm one, I guess.







Man, have I not been more wrong on what I said the other night and put as TL:DR; above haha because just like the USA election results, this, well, these are as unbelievable of reviews we've talked about today. And I'm still impressed today. I can tell you, this is the hype I've been waiting for, whatever it is. This might really be what it feels to be giving music reviews again, huh. I know, I have been slacking or even became strict in giving songs over the years because you know, everyone is critical about music. I just chose to like what I want. This is good example, and also a good Review. Maybe next year we will get better ones; I can only be hopeful. Man, it's going to be hard topping 

TL:DR; ORESAMA is genuinely good and Ueda Reina is just idolism also not a coincidence that people like to talk about rain in their song titles at this time of year lol it's rainy season out there so take care of yourselves, okay? I'm... trying to be a Ueda Reina lol

P.S. I still hate Blogger till this date because if you noticed gaps between the photos and text it's me trying to cover up the fact that this website is making things look bad for my usual routine blog posts *sigh*

Sunday 8 November 2020

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #45

I'm going to say it again, but yeah, rare Saturday post that is not Entertainment News which is this one, or packages because that's what I do in 2020 now haha I have no life and it's not because of what's going on around the world

I know it looks like the viewing order for the shows every week is as shown below, but trust me, I'd always love to watch in the reverse order haha hey save the best for last, yes? *laughs* So yeah, I hope I'm looking forward to GREAT PRETENDER season two haha okay that series is real good though but I just want some wholesome marriage interactions man lol let's start




アニメ GREAT PRETENDER
"... You might not be aware but, you smell like an old woman" Wow with those English insults lmao if you need a Japanese translation please do tell haha Ishigami
I mean, Makoto, just do it. You know they have bulletproof shields and can untangle themselves when they fall off the boat. *laughs* Wait, am I wrong? In this new episode where no one is Makoto's friend now lol (#GREATPRETENDER18), wait Akemi is this the triple cross we're seeing in drama right here?? Ooooo talk about spicy mafia drama haha go play or watch some Yakuza gameplay for more. Just so you know, burning bridges be the best way to do betrayal, especially when you're at sea. *laughs* So, story. I'll talk about the three main things we've seen so far, and how they progressed since so much just happened I thought this was scripted lol of course it was. Firstly, about the fate of the people on board. On board the bus last episode, to be specific. The kids are fine of course, but that's the least of our concerns. Cynthia and Abbie were of course, driven off the edge as they were on a ship with Akemi as she delivers her final judgement. Well, Oz did, by shooting them and sending them tied up into the seabed, so I'm sure they will never come back now lol. Then, Akemi showed her true colours by letting Makoto do whatever he wants with not his dad now, so he got sent off too, down the seabed. And thus, with that slight hint from Ishigami that Akemi wished her son would take over the business but left, this seems like a great replacement. Well, I suppose too Makoto will take this in stride too, since it's technically his way to live now. Also, she has set up a room for Makoto at her place, what?? *laughs* Second, between the mafia. We finally saw Liu, and for the first time in the history of me watching Anime I can actually ignore like, 5 minutes of subtitles because I can understand the Chinese lol like seriously man. They talk about how Oz was actually important to them as a translator, and how it'll help in expanding the business, so technically him "getting killed" will do them no good now, so investigations begin on their side. So yeah, unlike what Ishigami was worried about them taking action, these dudes just didn't know of Oz's situation now because Chen was lazy to ask lol 真有你的,啊。*laughs* (Okay I promise no more Chinese words after this week's post) (And that is "that's so you") Third, is what happened to the people thrown off the boat. Somehow, months later after Makoto served under the mafia, as he reaches home one day, he saw his dad standing by his doorstep, mysteriously alive. I highly doubt that is an issue though, because he could've had protection on his torso considering the son shot there, unlike the other two who probably could be stripped off (lol) their protective gear or not so they might be together all along already. But instead of pleading for forgiveness or force him to join the Shanghai mafia, he told him a story. So lastly, about a story of a blonde kid who lived in France- Okay we know it is Laurent's backstory haha. To start, he walked into Shanghai mafia's headquarters and requested to meet Liu, all spoken in Chinese. Then, we have a flashback of the kid learning half a dozen languages while his mom runs the cafe and instead of helping her, decides to become a diplomat when he grows up. Haha if you think that's a joke, you haven't watched enough educational YouTube videos before because apart from them being the bridge between two or more nations, they are also not prosecutable under other countries' laws. So yeah, now you might want to reconsider his position in this story now, and how these might all change. But for now, he's just getting beaten up on the streets by winning at poker because those losers suck haha, and assassinated a rich target's... beloved. Oh well, see? There is a Makoto in Laurent's past lmao no one is perfect man. More like though, that if life doesn't teach you the way, you teach yourself the way by going against it. We'll know what it feels like in the next few episodes I suspect, as we continue on this now bizarre journey of Laurent's group not including Makoto and the fates of everyone involved. If you need a guess from me it's probably Laurent asking for help to deal with mafia problems... using the mafia themselves. Because again, one should NOT get involved with the mafia. Unless you want to scam them of their money at the same time haha cya guys next week
Me when I have to deal with my boss' shit-
Me pretty much every morning haha okay I go to sleep earlier now though
P.S. "You think (Liu) will start a war over losing just you?" Damn Akemi with the burn haha yeah Makoto's dad Oz SUCK IT
P.P.S. "Are you used to the helicopter?" "I just don't look down" That's me dealing with my slight fear of heights haha okay maybe more than slight but

アニメ Majou no Tabitabi
"As the name says, it has become a country with no liars" Wow as a totally honest dude I would like to know when I can migrate there haha I'm lying already
In this totally honest episode review of this wonderful series that is just Elaina and I totally watched this first every week before all the other shows lmao (#MajoTabi06) okay that was not true, remember to press B to doubt just like "L.A. Noire" because you know, a perfect country doesn't exist- So, in this new episode where honesty exists in its pure form so much so that I would love to live there... Elaina thought it'll be a good idea to write a story while staying there. Maybe just for a night. *laughs* God, this is already a bad idea for an episode lmao it's so real I can't even. As she enters the country though, as much as it's a normal town, this spell that the king casted seems like a psychological thing, so Elaina decide to test it out by... not praising herself lmao best scene ever probably already clipped on YouTube lol. And so, as she walks around town buying not fresh bread and seeing super honest literature reviews (that be reviewers on everything I like haha maybe including this series), she then finds out the limitations of such a power that the king holds. There are so many things we can point out right now, so let's leave that other witch who wants to get married to Elaina aside first. *laughs* Yes, Saya is back. But hey, she'll be involved, calm down you nerds haha. Limitation No.1: You cannot communicate a lie. So, you don't. Since the town is literally empty and without anyone speaking, this already shows how one can easily get over this limitation and still lie, as shown by how one can just nod a head when asked if sold fresh goods. Hey, if you're illiterate and speak worse than I speak my Chinese dialects ie. can't form a sentence (lol), please migrate there now it'll be a good place to live haha. Limitation No.2: You can lie using communication, but not at once. So yeah, that's where broken speech helps lol of course not. In an attempt to reverse this spell that has been created by a witch beside the king who wanted honest citizens which... well you saw the result, the only way then is to find a way to break the king's sword, provided by this now silent witch Eihemia, who sought to stop this nonsense since she got kicked out because the king was too honest about her inability as a witch who sacrificed her voice for this. Yeah, #RealityCheck ladies and gentlemen, and I don't even need to give my boss a sword to do this lmao. (Shout out to Elaina for the recollection of why people sacrifice things to do magic lol remember two episodes ago? Haha) Coming back, for the trio to enter the castle (remember Saya? lol) they had to lie to the guard that you know, the king approved their entrance, so they wrote it on paper, but in chunks. And as long as you execute it in the right order, the guard will believe the truth before their eyes. I swear though, that this dude should've tested this alone so he knows these dudes are lying, but they don't know that this magic will not work in modern society because of computers. *laughs* (Looking at you, misguided Twitter racist tweets lmao) And so, all went to plan, Elaina did discuss about the honour system in this country with the king while engaged in combat and Saya did take a hit from the sword's power (hey it is still essentially a magic sword), but all in all the plan was a success. Eihemia probably can live in the castle now because she wasn't useless anymore (lol), Saya is still a creep I worry for Elaina when she donned upon her a necklace she spent her savings on which might be cursed mind you (haha), and Elaina sorry for taking such a long time to say this, but you are such an idiot. Seriously, man. How are you even the main character for this series I can't even- *laughs* See? The power of sarcasm is fuel for people like me honesty is no fun haha bye
[TL:DR; I wish the narrator from Anime "Kaguya-sama" will grace this episode with his "That was a lie" phrase every time someone from the Land of Truths tries to talk haha]
When you know you in deep shit already and you still can act cute lol
This lesbian thing is going great haha hey it's called "shoujo-ai" please we talked about it in the season preview
P.S. "Once you enter this country, your body will not be able to lie." Oh wtf does this mean haha they talking about the body check up at checkpoints? Ah that's a relief do you guys use X-ray machines or do you have female guards here...? *laughs*
P.P.S. "Welcome to this shit country!" Wow this Anime is already predicting USA election results this year? lol
This is so cute I can't even
This GIF from now on will represent me when I have no comment lmao

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii
"My wife tends to be a bit feral in her sleep; Is this how it's like for all girls?" There you go, it's another one of those jerks who think women are the same haha not feminist btw
Wow that was a GREAT START to an episode so far haha I feel bad for Nasa-kun he's going to have a sore arm in the morning lmao. In this new episode (#ToniKawa06) HOLY SHIT WHAT DID I JUST WATCH haha bro you did say she gets hot (physically) in the middle of the night and instead of cooling her down by you know, fixing a fan or aircon you go hug her? This is the best lmao I want a wife. *laughs* Ah dear author Hata Kenjirou I f**king hate you now lmao this is how I'm going to agree to going on blind dates, huh. *laughs* So, now that we know that a wife can burn the forest of idolism to the ground for her husband lmao, let's see what else can I absorb like a sponge that will continue filling me with jealousy as if I didn't have enough- We're halfway through this series by the way and I hate it. *laughs* Okay, back to story for real haha. It's a simple chain of events I think we can get around with, as expounded perfectly by her mother's intelligent second-guessing of her son's actions lmao. Firstly, he thinks of moving out, At least, to a 1LDK so that the neighbours won't hear him spasming about sleeping with the wife lmao (oh also, since the wife likes cooking so kitchen's important) ("let's dive into a 1DK, 1DK today~" haha shout out to Base Ball Bear from 2013) (hey it's close enough) (oh also shout out to One Piece and Attack on Titan just because) but also, it's rather ridicule to live in such crammed quarters considering marriage is kind of a bond between a couple to showcase how much capability the husband has to raise the wife till the end. You know, like how traditional marriage ideals work. Okay, jokes aside, Nasa-kun does feel bad about it and after getting dunked on real hard by Kaname-chan I guess lol Serizawa Yuu calm down haha, he decided to propose (oooo) (lol) the idea of moving out to Tsukasa since she only keeps saying it's fine. So, to summarise that conference on Nasa-kun's presentation of the benefits of moving out to Tsukasa lol. (1) They can watch movies anytime they want on a big screen. Yes. That TV will never be enough to satisfy your movie desires, dear girl. So yeah, that got her good lmao I guess she really is a movie fan haha is the radio podcast for this Anime series coincidentally about movies too? Because I would love to not listen to it haha (2) You can place shelves of DVD (hopefully not porno lol) because Netflix is BORING haha and manga. Yes, pretty much the same as the first point totally as a joke if you didn't realise, but yeah, space for those stuff is kind of what makes a home special I guess. I mean, my room technically has a lot of toys- (3) Since it's not in the presentation but it presented itself before this too, is personal space. Like even for changing clothes. I mean, I understand why Nasa-kun doesn't mind you sick f**k and I guess if you two are close enough you won't need personal space but still. *laughs* Then, they had to find a guarantor. Considering the old lady Tokiko wouldn't sign another paper for Tsukasa considering she left the house lol don't question too much as I said, Nasa-kun had to tell her parents... he was married. Yeah, he hasn't talked about that yet haha that's a problem. Thankfully, he has understandable parents without much generation gap so that's fine (and we're dealing with the mom here so that's slightly easier lol dad reputation be like) ("hey dad you did give me a crappy name" lmao) And thus, since the mom requested it, they had to travel from where they live now in Tokyo, to Nara prefecture where his old home is, to meet them. And since travelling means a lot of money being together outdoors on a trip, people like to think of it as a honeymoon. You know, people like Nasa-kun and Chitose and- *laughs* As a way to remember this trip, Tsukasa then suggested buying a camera for those fond, fond memories you'll never upload to Google Photos just because. Aw man, I just hope this dude don't enjoy too much of film and forgot about the wife itself 'cos I could use no camera lmao okay me. And instead of choosing the train, Tsukasa chose the bus. And since she sleeps like a log at home anyways (remember to fasten her seatbelt lest she goes to get water lol), she totally blends in on the night bus haha poor Nasa-kun's back. To conclude this episode, I like how the maid are literally shi*ting on Chitose because she wants to break these two up lmao I mean why though this is literally the premise of the series you wouldn't even be here if not for this. *laughs* MVP Chitose every week haha for this precise reason cya guys next week lol
[TL:DR; "He recalls the body warmth he felt yesterday" Seriously, between the two of us? I want to feel that too haha and I'm not talking about my sweaty mom lmao sorry for the bad joke]
Since Nasa-kun was such a good photographer I gotta
Since Nasa-kun was such a good photographer I gotta
P.S. "But before she (rolled back to her futon) I kissed her three more times" Jesus Christ- *wakes up with panda eyes* WHAT- HAHAHAAHAHA
P.P.S. "After last night I realised... I want a double bed!" OH ALRIGHT haha he has the same hype as me opening packages but his is his wife ARGH haha
["If I get married to a guy who had us living indefinitely in a tiny apartment with no bath I'll send him flying" OHMYGOD~!! haha]
I really wonder what it takes to make Akarin trip like this lol I hardly know her
Wow that is (in the episode) 60fps finger motion if I've ever seen them suck it K-ON! KyoAni can't even do this ah-

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
On news concerning music if there is any since there really isn't for this week haha right to it I guess, Iwasaki Ai has a new song that I've not heard of in full yet lol might be for an upcoming live (but trust me when her new album or something comes out I'll be so high), SPYAIR's new music video I've not watched because you know I want the music to be the impression so next week I guess, Yoru no Honki Dance announced a new mini-album out next January which isn't surprising considering the two digital singles they've released this year just why not release the album within the year too oh well, and Ikimonogakari has hit 21st in their anniversary. Wow. I was in... 2008 that is... 12 years of it? Yeah, including the hiatus. Hey, honorary member of Klassic Note already they hit record high in my Collections list already please, need to appreciate that more tbh.

So, for next week... we might still be running dry. Okay maybe SPYAIR's new single but other than that trust me, I did search online for new releases so maybe I have to click on random YouTube music videos now haha or maybe try Audioleaf again because I need to give more indie artists chance to be honest. Meanwhile, I'm still thinking who to put in the Top 20 ranking. Don't worry, I have many candidates, but I feel that many do deserve to be mentioned, and many that do not but I have to put them in because... really, they are part of the collection. Oh well, dump them in the yearly Silver Collection then haha literally me dealing with this every year




Secretly between us? (Haha I know right this is a blog in public domain but) I'm actually looking forward to Ueda Reina's online signing event. *giggles* Uh oh, is this fourth generation on the Wanted List already? If so, this might be a good start she'll be the oldest of the new bunch. *laughs* (Like seriously, I'm into Sasaki Nao here too and she's... young lol) Cya guys next week then for them package reviews!! No really, it's happening within next week so that's the upcoming two single reviews and... some stuff I probably shouldn't talk about until we get it haha so until then... someone tell me I'm not wasting more than twice the usual amount to buy a calendar from Japan for next year and it's not because I got more than ONE calendar haha okay keeping the spoilers up till the next post hopefully okay bye

P.S. I guess Inorin, I'll get your fanclub only calendar for next year. *sigh* Haha you guys just wait and see because no contenders here man, I gotta fill in the empty wall in my room, whatever it takes. Whatever it takes. *laughs* AW WHAT! NEED JAPANESE MOBILE NUMBER!! Dammit haha

P.P.S. Update: After spending about SGD 1*0 (we'll talk about exact figures soon) I finally signed up with a fake phone number from Japan (lol thanks NTT 050) so now I have to live with a year of Inorin fanclub goodness, and the... table calendar. Uh oh. I legit thought it was wall calendar haha I can already buy a wall calendar at that price too ugh we'll talk more when it arrives hehe good night
