Seventh Book Worth of Photos: Top Beauty Down Under

(Click here for Q&A and here to skip to the interview)

Nothing is going to beat reviewing a photobook in the middle of the work week. But you know what will be better than this? Reviewing a photobook one week before haha yeah this should've been done last week

Once again breaking records this year, we're back with another photobook. I initially decided to only do this next month along with the final book (Audience: The FINAL BOOK!!??) (Yeah, just, not yet), but I guess I'll finish this first. We're still outside the voice actress circle though, as this time around I'm giving one long time gravure model I've known for years. It's another tribute, I guess. Baba Fumika, this one is for you. I keep saying that though do you think they will know? Haha anyways...

(Also, you think this be inconspicuous enough of a title for this post? I mean, I'm not exactly wrong; read on to find out)




THE ORIGIN
Well known in the industry as a beauty of this decade, Baba Fumika, despite her rather awkward family name (which translates to "horse riding ground") is somewhat suitable for her rather wild personality considering the lengths she went to show off her wonderful body (ahem) by doing gravure outside of modelling (for fashion and makeup) and drama acting as her main job scope today. People would know her of a certain hero drama series from years ago, but that is not my focus. (I hardly watch drama anyway but I did watch two of them, namely "Omae wa Mada Gunma wo Shiranai" in 2017 and "Shinya no Damekoi Zukan" in 2018) I knew her through gravure, and if you didn't notice below because she has a respectable rack, along with her initial boom back around 4 years ago with those wonderful - to the extent of enticing - shots, and I've been following her ever since. This might not be her first time releasing a photobook (Ever seen "hair bra"? Yeah that was her 1st), but it's her first time doing a travel-related photobook, quite a rarity in photobooks from gravure models since normally it's literally just them half-naked in bikini or whatever. This book gives just a little more respect to her because besides the even distribution of gravure and her normal shots which I think she is cute in, they also gave her control over the contents of this book. Let's take a closer look, literally.


THE REVIEW

Baba Fumika "Babatabi"
[Available on Amazon Japan]

This is by all means not an actual photobook as we have seen thus far, and as I have suspected it's a travel book, which means there is plenty of text (yep) from recommendations to landmarks as the many names marked in this book is introducing us to Australia! (Well, South-Eastern Australia) (Also known as "down under", by the way hence the title of this post) Hey, Australia be a wonderful place but add her in and I'll forget where she is lol. Anyways, this came out about two weeks ago, still fresh, and it didn't take long for me to order it and come to my place. I did hesitate though, but then I'm like "what the heck" and decided to support her since her calendar released last year. The problem with the package is just... yeah. I delayed it further, in a nutshell, by not updating my phone number so the local delivery service can't contact me haha sorry Fumika-chan

It's going to be a long journey but LETS DO IT!!

Wow, it's way smaller than I thought. They did say it's A5-sized though.
(What's with the peel off on her face)

I thought I would rip her face off but hey "tear it away carefully" it sure does, note on the seal.

[*Okay because I didn't take work leave for the rest of the week lol, I'll do first impressions here and briefly talk about her journey using images first. The final interview will be below, and I'll try to fill in the gaps with as much info as possible because this travel photobook, man... so if you see segments incomplete I'll be back for this b*tch lol]

写真集 Baba Fumika "Babatabi"

As seen from the bottom-most large text: "(She's) a stay-in, (but she) wants to travel."

This photobook details upon Baba Fumika's journey to two specific locations, namely Cairns and Melbourne. I've only been to the latter when I was young, and guided tours suck, so this was quite an eye-opener reading it. Well, I wasn't reading it per se but this book is thick, I can tell ya.

The foreword summarises her gravure shootings over the past few years (we will get to see that later) with her travelling to various destinations from within the country to outside of the country. Recently (2 years ago to be exact) after one of the gravure shoots she was asked where she wanted to go, and as she said "I want to hug koala bears" and here we are. *laughs* Ah, I love myself a flexible production studio. The locations detailed, food eaten (I will not say them all) and comments on the book are BORING (lol) so here's my take. Ready?

Nice inset cover, by the way. Still preferred the main cover though

Loneliness is... when you sit in a large elevator alone.
(Okay there's the cameraman, I guess)

Both cute, but I only want to f**k one of them.
Just to clarify, it's the one to the left haha

Both cute, but I- Oh we did that already? *laughs*
(Is this what it's like when she has a baby? *gasp*)

The comment (bottom right) says she's scared of it but we know. She be scared of being less cute than a stuffed toy snake lol

Loneliness is... buying that weird animal hat for yourself haha

How dare you, comment, to criticise on her food reviews. She be as "sweet" as the food she's eating, I would say.

And then she ate a couple more because it's too good lol

Someone should feel bad telling her to keep that koala hat on hehe

Oh? Slight tingling down there now...
(Uh, I meant, Australia feels)

Loneliness is... when you have the whole train seat to yourself.
Can I sit beside you though, Fumika-chan?

She be so bored on a trip like me lmao

"Deluxe Pool View Room", huh. All I can see is my girl's deluxe-
(*thumbs up*)

HELL YEAH NOW WE TALKIN' haha
(Front View)

(Back View)

Hey, I might not drink alcohol but I'll pay for it. Get drunk, Fumika-chan. *giggles*

Ah WTF is this her favourite toy or is this just a stalker to monitor her movements?
I mean, look at the hotel room one this mascot's a perv haha

I genuinely like this one a lot. Really, ignoring her figure she looks beautiful in this.

About there already, to be honest. *laughs*

I came. *laughs* THE BED, MAN! THE BED!!

If you see someone walking around in the hotel you cannot NOT take this and share with your friends

She may have a rack but her back looks real good also that ponytail grab

Is she normally wearing this when outdoors or...? Such audacity but then again it's Australia isn't it

Her boobs are staring right back at me I'm uncomfortable down under lol
(*insert Australia joke*)

Do all beautiful girls have a quirky side and they must make those weird faces? I've seen this before but Fumika-chan you too? haha

I took a little below so you can see her down under lmao
(I meant the view, Australia? haha)

The sun be too glaring for this beauty why are you wearing so much? *laughs*

Hey! It's from the cover!
(It's some National Park I don't care haha)

This front back combination will only let you think about Fumika-chan's beauty...

... until you see this. *laughs*

In case you didn't notice, the mole makes her all the more attractive.

We be looking at those two rocks but I'm looking at her two rocks, you know what I'm saying? *giggles*

It's cold at that time of the year? Southern hemisphere, right? You're not cold? *laughs*

Someday I gotta do this to a railroad track I love trains tbh
Loneliness is... when even the train doesn't come for you haha

I wish I could be this carefree on the streets. Overseas.

I can imagine this is what she wears when she goes to bed.

Yeah, inside too. *wink*

The angle be more perfect than my down under haha
(I mean, my Australia trip as a kid)

Reminding you the only thing between you and her is that glass let me fondle your boobs lol

That's the face when I ask her "what do you see" when she gets to look first. Prove me wrong.

What is she trying to do there lol

These two pages are so wholesome here's all of it
(Okay maybe not the dog for me but still)

Again, I'll pay for the wine Fumika-chan so drink away~

If the can of coffee beans be one of the souvenirs she bought for lucky fans I want to be the 14 of them

(On the photobook's back it was stated on First Press Editions only which is mine, there's a lucky draw for signed souvenirs from her trip, limited to 14 people. Excuse me while I find out how to enter the draw haha) (Aw damn need to mail them they know I don't have a Japanese mailbox)

She be giving the "I want it but I have no money" face haha
(Also, is that angmoh on the right doing the distracted boyfriend meme? lol)

In case you are curious about what's in her bag the stalker panda has you covered

[CLOSE]

Man, this was in 2014? Brings back memories hehe

And this is where I'll link back to the top of the photobook which mentions about her photo shoots since she started with the publishing firm who released this photobook for her, Shupure. (Read as Shoo-pooh-ray) Over the years she went to many places, as I will roughly put some dates on so you can have a feel on how much she has "grown" haha

Same as above, from Okinawa

From Hokkaido
(Man, is she not cold out in the snow? I just hope she's well wrapped)

Yes, intentions can be made to "deceive" the viewer of an illusion of nudity but to protect the girls they normally just let them wear a piece to cover those "important parts" to say the least)

From Taiwan, and she be killing a lot of women there of her age tbh

From Hawaii
(I wished I was there, man... *laughs*)

And finally, from Hiroshima
(I know this one she shot these for her calendar, I have evidence to prove on these two)

So all in all, I've avoid most of the text (as you can see in some of the images) in this smaller than normal photobook which to be honest only had decent shots for like half the book, so... oh well. Once again, this one is for you, Fumika-chan. I'm still glad you get to sell something while still enjoying the time of your life exploring Australia. And thanks for the shots all these years; I really appreciate it. *fap fap fap* Haha I don't think I have done it to her EVER *silence*

THE INTERVIEW
It's not a long one, but I think I should put this in. So, to talk about the main points which focused mostly about Fumika-chan on travelling instead of being a self-introduction interview:

• She thought the (baby) koala would be hard (lol) but it's real soft and warm, and cute.
• "There are koalas in Japan zoos but I've only seen my friends hug it before and say it's good" Haha nice joke Fumika-chan
• When asked to rank the animals in Australia ie. koala, wallaby and kangaroo, she likes koala and kangaroos because they are cute, but it's her inherent fear of seeing kangaroos jump towards her that gave koalas the 1st place.
• On sitting on a boat from Cannes to Melbourne, she said she couldn't stand the shaking even to the extent the kid beside her was puking, and she felt bad for him/her.
• The photobook was focused around "amazing scenes" so it was bad when the crew met with no sunny weather the only day they had to do the photo shoot by the beach. Fumika-chan says it's inevitable and the temperature isn't exactly warm either at the time of year. (It was August when they did the shoot)
• Cannes may be cold, but arguably Melbourne is colder. They knew about how people could get away with half sleeved outfits in the day but it was colder than expected, and they had to take gravure level shots too? It was Fumika-chan who suggest it too, as she jokes laughingly at herself. (Bear in mind this was mostly planned by her)
• On being asked why go to Melbourne, Fumika-chan heard from a friend that the atmosphere is great and it's only a 3 hour plane ride (which she is bad at, ooo) from Cannes too.
• She thinks the streets of Melbourne are "cute", and there are plenty of unique shops around. Melbourne also has longer operating hours since in Cannes most shops or restaurants will close by around 9pm, which makes of a very laid back experience, and she would like to visit again.
• Coincidentally, this photobook was released 5 years after her first gravure shoot in November 2014. On being asked where she would like to go in another 5 years, Fumika-chan said ask her then. (Haha poor interviewer) She argues that she also won't know what she would like until then, and asks back the interviewer? Okay I don't care already lol

But seriously, man, it's all about her travels in Australia instead of the shots or herself that's kinda boring haha those 50 Q&A would be more your thing imo. Also, Fumika-chan if cold places aren't your thing you're welcome to tour in Singapore aka 1 degree North lol I can't really be your tour guide but I'll show you around hehe




Man, is this my least enthusiastic review ever? *laughs* It might be but my effort is at a record for one blog post, by the way. Well, that, and the Wanted List page which also has this lovely woman in it, just so you know. Well, maybe because my mom didn't return me clean underwear and I (she) had to literally to get new ones late at night so these are cheap and uncomfortable and I still have to work tomorrow? Man, f**k you mom lol just joking. Well, Fumika-chan, I hope you're mom isn't as terrible as mine lol I think we can stop here. I'll pop back from time to time to update this hopefully by the end of the week but no promises again because they be tellin' me to do overtime again so... we shall see. Cya guys this weekend. And seriously, do yourself a favour and research on her. You will not be disappointed, I assure you. Ok good night!

P.S. Have a great Thursday haha

Ugly things are ugly. It's better to leave them alone.*

That's what I thought when I saw how evil that one woman was in that Anime I just watched. Not because of evil, but the killing. And it's ugly, for sure. But that says a lot about everything in life too. Is that why I'm left alone? Then again I do that to people on the streets too, so... I need to think about this again to be honest.

*Inspired by me in Japanese:

「悪いものはニクイ。ほっといたほうがいいんです。」

(Nikui mono wa nikui. Hottoita hou ga i'in desi.)

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #47

Well, guess where I was last night. Or actually, for the whole of yesterday, I was in my cousin's wedding. Since it's Chinese tradition, there's the tea ceremony in the morning after waiting for the bride and groom to take the photoshoot some distance from their new home, and the wedding dinner in a hotel at night. This... might be the last we will see in my family though, as the ones after this couple may have other opinions. Including me. *laughs* His celebrations has got a lot for me to think about, though I doubt it'll change much it won't get me a partner anyways lol

Okay I've been playing and slacking all day to compensate for that so we better get this going I'm literally rushing this since dinner just now let's do this

アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club

"Second time meeting you!" Yeah, puts some meaning into first time meeting you, huh.

Do you even think coincidences exist? I mean, I've never seen someone before as a stranger and then see them again as an acquaintance to someone I know or because I visit something or attend an event or whatever. Well, it's Anime, so you can do whatever you want, I guess. In this new episode (#SaikoroClub08), and as the word "finally" is overrated since two episodes ago, we talk about the fourth main girl of the series. She is Emilia, and as of the last time we saw her, she is German, and as we saw her with her dad, she convinced her dad to open a business here to promote the playing of board games, and of course the three girls got wind of it and decided to take a look. As expected of the wishing star (hey, I gotta), Emilia got to meet them despite how empty the cafe is apparently, they got to play a game together, and she had lots of fun. "Thanks, Mom!" *laughs* Anyways, it was another game, and... I might argue that the rules might be too much. I prefer simpler games, so this is a real turn off. Compare this to the other game we get to see during the school festival though, as the vice chairperson Shibusawa once again delivered the girls the worst location due to abuse of power (lol), so now the girls had no idea how to get customers to the old school building at the corner. Thankfully, the chairperson added in SNS (aka Social Network Service, ie. Twitter because that's all Japanese use there lol) publicity so the girls can get word out of the awesome place that is the board game cafe, and... Emilia brought a change of clothes. Yeah, that was the dealbreaker, by the way. *laughs* I mean, Aya-chan and Emmy probably know no shame, so kudos to Miki-chan and Midori-chan for dressing up as well. (The episode did not provide enough dere Midori-chan: 1/10 haha) And for once, Miki-chan leads the game by explaining the rules of "Dobble", which sadly I know of this through a YouTube video I watched very recently (Uchida Maaya fans you're welcome) (also, Shimono Hiro if you are a fan of him) (ah, different name but same rules) which is basically spotting of items on cards which have one common object on every two cards. Yes, any pair has exactly one common item. The episode didn't explain too much, but if you look closer you will notice how it's carefully designed such that (1) some are of different sizes so you won't see consistency as a way to identify objects quickly and (2) some are drawn abnormally from normal objects which will require some level of description and creativity to convince others of what the objects are, which is what Yoshioka was experiencing there. The feels of these guys playing is like sooo dry, but that Yoshioka fixing his eyes on Miki-chan... I think we got ourselves another couple haha. Yoshioka be experiencing something else, amirite?? *laughs* All in all, the cafe was a glorious success, the girls be cute in maid outfits, and all is well. Best episode since the beach one. After the clouds cleared, of course. Next episode, we might be taking a break from German board games to play foreign exchange culture sharing (lol I don't know what they call that my grades aren't good enough to go overseas as a kid lol) by teaching Emmy some Japanese games! Hey, would be an eye opener for me too- Oh they playing Daruma-san? Ah nvm haha I know that game lol reminds me of the one in the Nintendo Switch game "Taiko no Tatsujin" because my cousins had a fun time with it. *sigh* Remember when we didn't have the Internet and smartphones? People play other games way more often haha sadded

I swear this was also my face when I saw how cute Emilia was this episode

I swear I'll go to the board game cafe when I see this in the school festival Twitter feed lol Midori-chan

P.S. Wow Emilia you also explaining the rules now? You're as boring as Midori-chan now lol
P.P.S. "So I'm happy to be able to play games with cute girls!" Us too, Emilia. Us too. *laughs*

アニメ Babylon

"Many out there are going to help you fix your heart." Yeah but not by consent to death, to say the least, bro. You did well for your son but still deserve to go to jail not everyone need a heart fix this way lol

You think rage is going to overwrite seduction? To be honest? I think it might. In this new episode (#Babylon07) which will ensure you change your impression of this otherwise dark story, it gets darker. I'm sorry haha. No really, remind me NEVER to watch this episode again, please. *laughs* Okay, before spoilers are up, and I just want to clarify, I don't want to die now, for my life has meaning, how little it might be. So once again, my condolences to everyone who died this episode, for we can only host a mass burial to bury you all. Yeah, it's that bad. So yes, as expected, Itsuki has to come up with a final draw in what will happen to his argument in the debate, and although I would argue this is the author's most solid counter argument yet, it's also not the solution. Let's talk quickly about it because the action behind is more exciting haha okay may have used the wrong word lol. Ok, story. Itsuki's argument, as of the plot twist last episode, is that he wants to save his son. His son is suffering from a heart disease apparently, and supposedly the best way to save him is to kill himself? And that's why we have social welfare. And that's why people want to donate and help the kid the moment he mentioned his side of the reality, and not tell him to die for the kid. Not that we wouldn't, or not that he shouldn't, mind you, but there has to be a better solution. So therefore Itsuki's point is that, local laws do not allow organ donation with suicide which I assume is not an accidental death thus cannot be counted as donation from an organ donor, so yeah, which is why he's here to make it possible, I suppose. That argument will probably work and has also effectively cancelled all arguments in the debate thus far, but of course we know the reality is that we can ask for help from society. And then you can die and hire your private surgeon to do it if all else fails lol. *looks at BANANA FISH* Anyways, the TV debate show concludes, and Itsuki is escorted out of the building by of course, the escort team led by Seizaki. And yes, as I literally predicted last episode, it's all down to Sekuro and Seizaki apparently. So yeah, wink wink plot twist again, don't ever doubt Magase Ai's disguise abilities as a woman to any other woman. Considering the only woman left backstage besides Hiasa is the kid's mother... yeah you can join the lines. Not dotted lines though those are for later haha ugh. *laughs* Seizaki saw that but all was too late as Hiasa who was sent out to see what happened also got caught in the mess, and you kinda just need that two versus one to apprehend even a kendo combatant, I guess. And so, Sekuro was kidnapped. The police arrived at the scene to close to two dozen bodies (Jesus H Christ) (I hope they are Christian lol), and there's more to come. Yeah. Seizaki's family is fine for now though, and thanks for the analogy substitute, by the way. What is it a substitute to? Well, Seizaki received a livestream link to Magase Ai's... execution call. Well, dissection of a living body would be more accurate, but here is why I feel you bro. Why use Hiasa though? Maybe Magase Ai is truly evil. Which I will skip the gore because you can watch in the episode yourself (It isn't that bad tbh remember the substitute?) (Also, Sekuro doesn't scream into the livestream? Anime logic btw) (But seriously though, Fs for Hiasa) and instead talk about this: is she the only evil in this story? If as of this point the Anime would let us think they are a family of three (man, can't imagine but I have to) and Magase Ai is somehow married and had a kid? I don't know, but isn't Itsuki also under danger? Maybe even blackmailed by Magase? Because really, just a whisper in your masculine ear and you will want to die already, man. I assume the kid is immune because he hasn't grown any balls yet so... (BOOM GOTCHA haha sorry kid) But seriously, think about it. Then Itsuki didn't commit any crime. He just wants to pass the law. Or even not. He may just want to save his kid. And Magase Ai told him there are alternative ways to make it happen. You know, commuting suicide. Now you see where I'm getting? If that is so then dealing with a singularity of evil might make more sense in my opinion. If not, it's not like there are any investigators left to track them down, Seizaki is in a rage because of all this suicide around him, and the local authorities doesn't seem to care. Abnormal case of deaths, people. No one cares? Shoutout again to opposition number 1 from the debate, by the way haha. Okay in conclusion, this episode is straight out f**ked up, Magase Ai won't make me question evil anymore because you are literally summoned by Satan (lol), we've reached the last arc of the series and I preferred this episode's version of the theme song tbh. What? I have to find a way to make myself complete this episode. The last part is just too much I'm still recovering from Hiasa's... Hiasa... *sob* I HAVEN'T F***ED HER YET DUDE WHY YOU KILL HER lol stay away from me bitch (Oh and the next arc is due in a month so I get to reliever lol)
[Okay I totally didn't screenshot anything and I only took what's left of Hiasa before she got chopped so...]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was quite a week in Klassic Note, but again like last week I really think it's because it's year end that I'm getting more strict in giving new songs tbh. Tomatsu Haruka's new single I'm giving up already because I seriously cannot be giving sub-par Anime theme songs at this time of year. See? My justifications are going to get even weaker from here on. But seriously though, did you see the release list for December? I'll make a tweet about that I promise haha. Moving on, in reverse I gave GLIM SPANKY's new single a chance since I decided not to give it earlier on following the previews and... I ended up giving one of the three songs in the release. So yeah, redemption I guess. And I'm going to give OMIGAWARA's new digital single probably the worst rating I can give her because of the built up hype within two weeks and even as a short song the full is a disaster. I'm getting used to it for my own good before I say yes to this, but guys, you have a serious composition problem like many that I don't want to nitpick because I still want to give the show and the song. *sigh* This sucks. And that's why we can never have good songs all the time. *laughs* Let's move on, shall we?

Talking about moving on, hopefully we can hear yucat's new mini-album in like 2 years next week, or else it might be a thing next year. Also, I have found many other releases like mol-74's new single and Play.Goose's 1st album (yes, it's from Goose house ever since they gone quiet last year) which I might either listen to it before the storm that is next month or leave it for the start of next year so I have something to start with then.

On other news, Tachibana Rika is releasing another new song on digital soon (will probably skip that for now) (yup, still 0 on the count lol), yuiko-san did effectively an audio livestream (because no show face) (her cute, chubby face hehe) on YouTube which is technically her first (she did it before on Twitcasting if you know what it is) and answered fan questions (it's not a lot) for about 2 hours. Guess where I was last night. *sigh* miwa's new song preview is okay, SIX LOUNGE is releasing a new album due December (what did I tell you), and... Amamiya Sora's new song preview for Anime "RikeKoi" isn't great. Even just briefly and it's not good. Really, the song title in the lyrics? What level of cheap composition is that?? *laughs* It's okay I'll forget about it next year and give the song AND the Anime haha




Okay, I'm done. You may have read that dream record just now and... what do you think of it? No new layout of whatsoever because I had to type everything that's stored in my brain on a whim, and there's Ten-chan, so... *laughs* I really wanna. *silence* Cya guys next week then, and until then... my work life is boring. Maybe I'll listen to yuiko-san's livestream as replay tomorrow at work then haha bye

The Dream Record 20191124

Okay this one I literally just caught it and threw it into the bag considering the bag is here, so without further ado let's do it! It was short but packed with content, to say the least. We have two girls to talk about now haha

"It feels like we were on a train carriage. I was standing while Hidaka Rina-chan was sitting with my friend (it's JK again). We were actually talking mostly in Chinese apparently, as she can fluently talk to me with a smile on her face. The main point was for my friend to find a job for me, as mentioned by Rina-chan from her acquaintance (through my friend I suppose) and after a short talk I introduced myself and my relation to my friend (totally false as I mentioned about soka here so...) and explained to her that I have no experience working in the industry she was in (you can take it as the entertainment or Anime industry) but if it it for her or even someone I adore I don't mind and she brushed it off with a blush on her face. However, Rina-chan understood and replied that she needs to hire someone on the job! My eyes lit up as she continues to ask if we can start soon and suggested a five day test period, and I asked for a time range, and then we soon realised that why I would say that is because I intended to do this outside of my full time job? She realised it quickly and immediately rejected the job offer.

Then, I think I sat down or we moved to another seat, likely the former, and my friend came to sat to my right. And then I think about six girls sat down on the floor in front of us, with the closest one having a familiar face and long, black hair. This time, I tried to speak in Japanese and asked if it was Ten-chan (as in 天さんじゃないですか) and she stared right back at me, as if we met for the first time, and waved. Of course the others also waved and introduced themselves, and then Ten-chan tried to say what group they were (definitely not StylipS I made this one up totally) and she was the only one who did it, dunking her in the sea of embarrassment. We all laughed and I told everyone besides her to explode (explode as in go whatever yourselves, not literally die) (as in お前たち爆発しろ、天さん以外に), as I continue to stare at Ten-chan and her continuous laughter..."

Yep, that'll be it. I woke up to... a recent yanaginagi song that I have from her B-side album I think "halo effect" was the song, I checked. References? I don't think so, this is pretty random for a dream. I attended a cousin's wedding yesterday and none of that popped up in here so I don't think it's because of that. My friend whom I've not met in years is here, Rina-chan can speak Chinese (which is unlikely) (not her at least), somehow I know of the Anime industry through my other friend who did volunteer in Anime events here (that guy talked to Kalafina dammit) (lol) which will make sense of this "job offer", and we ALL know that Ten-chan is the focus here haha. I know Hidaka Rina be a lovely woman but still. Like really, I went formal and said Ten-san too, hehe. Maybe I should get her new photobook... Haha cya guys later for Anime I need a longer break for now

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #46

Yes I bought that new Harvest Moon remake on Switch. It's called Mineral Town or something. What? It's not in English yet? Well, I bought the Japanese version because Nan-chan is playing it on YouTube and I'm tempted to buy it since last week and it's also to prepare myself for the upcoming Animal Crossing game coming next year. Thanks Stardew Valley; you made me like these games now haha

Proof:

(Sorry for shitty stock controller because this is the only game I've played in the past half a year since my sis somehow abandoned her birthday gift from last year so it's mine now lmao)

Okay, I got to stop for now because we got stuff to talk about! Sorry if my attention span is low because of this farming game lol I literally played it all Sunday haha

アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club

"Now we line up (these dice) to create insults to hurl at each other." Eh Maki-chan? I don't care about Miki-chan but can you be concerned about the TV ratings here? *laughs*

If you had to scare the sh*t out of Miki-chan for me to say she is cute even though we don't get to see the other two... sure, whatever. *laughs* In this new episode (#SaikoroClub07) we almost got away without playing another board game or two lol. Wow, somehow it feels longer than usual, this episode. Okay, let's talk about it. Firstly, about Maki-chan being bored during summer holidays. I know, we could totally get a Miki-chan exclusive with just her hanging out in the cafe and doing nothing but no, this woman just dragged her out to the hills to play with water. Well, in return Miki-chan brought a game with her, and yes, it's not in case she has anyone to play with she just bought it she just didn't expect to play with whoever just saved her life as a kid. Anyways, since there are many ways to play "Monjirou", Maki-chan chose one with the insults (why), and of course Miki-chan lost badly. And as she said, she can't do insults because she's kind and compassionate enough to not be a d**k. It takes some level of instinct to win at a shouting game, mind you. Maki-chan be a good example lol. Flip that around, and Miki-chan can't stop praising how lovely Maki-chan is (I agree) (haha) because I can't help but see Miki-chan hanging out with a beautiful woman because in this part I think I've been blessed more than just cute girls in this series haha. That accent though, I guess I'll never get used to it tbh. Second half, it's student council vice chairperson flexing time, as Shibusawa since we saw her last time after failing to be convinced of Midori-chan's current situation instead of helping her to plan for the upcoming school festival because the chairperson is hospitalised, insisted on the rejection of their class proposal to host a board game cafe in school. Again, and I think the chairperson who came back in a limp also knows, it's whatever it takes to make the festival a good one. Shibusawa be too stuck on her emotions, seriously. Anyways, the chairperson (I really don't remember your name, senpai) (lol) probably read the proposal, somehow knew how to go to Saikoro Club by himself (don't ask me why), and decided to ask for the girls to show him a good time. *laughs* Okay, as in playing a board game. It's like a proposal presentation, but the easiest way to present board games is to play them, as Midori-chan mentioned. They played a game of rescue, where strategies are of utmost importance, and luck is not proportional to risk when you aren't holding the tile to game over lmao. All in all, a fun game, and obviously Shibusawa will live in agony knowing her nice senpai approved of the cafe haha. So yeah, more will get to know about board games, I guess. Midori-chan's creation though... she wants to be humble, and I doubt it should be subject to mass criticism (or praise), but hey, you do you, girl. We shall see if this holds up then. Next episode, we finally get to introduce the fourth girl? I like how in the preview Aya-chan says she saw a cute girl there- isn't that you? Haha we shall see for ourselves if she can top any of the three main next time. I highly doubt it will but (haha) (AYA-CHAN MVP ALWAYS lol)

This is an Anime and I'm not even aroused-

I AM BONER
(*laughs*)

P.S. "You know, Miki-chan, you can't just say random (compliments)" Well I wanted to say "eroi" but I don't have the pieces so... *laughs*
P.P.S. "Miki-chan, she might have a sadistic side" Okay Miki-chan, just for this episode you can do whatever you want to me haha wait what

アニメ Babylon

"Can you handle whatever he throws at you?" Yeah, Nomaru? Even your kids? *laughs* Okay sorry for word pun

Wow Seizaki, didn't realise you can get into illegal territory, you naughty man. *laughs* What is it though? We can talk about it here. Just... don't involve that witch lol. The new episode (#Babylon06) is at its pivotal point, I would argue, in this whole suicide law fiasco. And boy, what a plot twist we have here. Excitement (to not commit suicide) aside, let's talk about what happened. It's 2 days before election, 1 day before the public debate on TV. Problem is, no lead to arrest Itsuki. So how? Seizaki did the most wild decision I've seen in Anime forever, which is straight out go illegal. Because normally in drama you will go quietly to do evil, but this motherf***er just straight up disbanded the investigation group and decides to arrest, excuse me, kidnap the mayor himself. Brave move, dude. Sadly, as the one guy Kuji'in mentioned, since all of them heard it making them all accomplices, Seizaki is not going alone. Which brings us to the second half, the debate. Ugh, I didn't want to review on this part to be honest, but only putting a one-liner here might be too much of a compromise, so we will talk about it for once. For you, Anime. Four opposition against Itsuki on TV. Firstly, on socio-economical aspect. I would argue that the guy is fairly valid on worrying about suicide only increasing with the law in effect and it will gradually if not greatly impact society flow in general (I mean, can you predict who the next guy's occupation will be to commit suicide?), and Itsuki brought up examples to talk about how society behaviour might change in reverse if implemented (correctly or not we'll leave it for opposition number 4). As much as I think Itsuki is correct, it will be wrong immediately considering it is Japan. Best part is he mentioned drugs and legislating them compared to others who don't. And that's why you don't, bro, uh, I mean, dear author. *laughs* In context, Japan has a fairly traditional societal view on things and not as open as Western nations (don't quote me here), but suffice it to say that such a law will not allow people to think much rationally even if given the choice. The best related example I know of which is kind of valid for opposition number 3 (now you can quote me here) is that given a human or human-trained algorithm we have the tendency to do evil (search "twitter racist bot"), and for this case then people can be influenced to die without much barriers anymore, considering law isn't even a thing if it's allowed. Secondly, it's about ethics and accountability. Same as above, but now it will disrupt society as a group. If tomorrow I tell you someone won't be around for work you think that SME boss wouldn't go crazy and die too? (Don't worry boss I won't lol) Yeah, propagation is the biggest problem. Itsuki's argument here is totally shallow here, as he argues this with laws that do not exist being possible but have been allowed, for example homosexual marriage. Again, the opposition is right, that is not a law, and it has been spent a lot of time to analyze and to be allowed, and moreover it's not a crime, so he kind of brushed through that haha. Suicide isn't a crime too, just so you know. Itsuki decided to ignore opposition number 3 (to be honest I freaked out when the guy slammed the table during the debate haha wtf dude) in his argument since it's rather extreme talking about incitement being a law and he may have influenced 64 people to jump off the building (unlikely, as we mentioned) (which is why the investigation is going nowhere) by arguing that the legislation of suicide law will let people think about the act seriously. I mean, which brings us back to opposition 1 where people will tend to do evil. I mean (don't quote me on this, but) if I had a choice as a kid thinking irrationally I would die even at 26 OKAY MOVING ON Haha last but not least, Nomaru being the last opposition, taps on emotions. I mean, I'm an emo kid so he lost lmao (I'm the 2k+ people who already died in Shiniki during this period lol) but assuming I don't exist in Shiniki (haha) he argues that people's tendency to save people from suicide is high such that a law should not need to be legislated, and if need be only in controlled circumstances. The second point he didn't argue much because we'll come back to the other in a moment, but Itsuki can never argue that laws like this need time for planning and not immediate permission to be put into law. Even if he says it now his new parliament will hardly get any momentum going to fixate this into something people will accept, for starters. (Looking at you, Brexit) Going back, Nomaru then argues that if we are around someone who wants to commit suicide whether it be family or friend, then things like counselling and assistance will be given to those who think otherwise in society. Yes, that is a bind. Yes, that is kind of a rule that is the invisible societal contract we have signed since we were born, but emotionally he says we will not see people die if without good reason or things like "I don't want to live anymore". People, with or without a choice, have to live. That's, because there isn't a way to allow you to escape. And eventually, a meaning can be found. What if I told you you can die even long before you found meaning in life? Then that's it I guess? Not like Itsuki can argue that. To support his point, and I think this is the bad part, Nomaru brings out the kid who posted the video about his dad wanting to commit suicide. Man, and he allowed the kid to be elected into parliament? Yep, using Itsuki's election rules against himself. Haha more on that soon, but Nomaru promises the government will still be led by politicians, even if the kid isn't old enough yet. And here's the plot twist: the father of the kid is in the studio. Guess who it is yourself, please. So yeah, this show has turned into... kid versus dad in parliamentary elections? Well well, Anime, look what you have done. *laughs* This is a new territory in storytelling, that's for sure. So yeah, we shall see what happens next week then. I'll put a one-liner to end this later, but suffice it to say, it's pretty f**ked up as of now. Also, Itsuki still has Magase Ai along with him who can technically incite people to commit suicide. Soon it'll be a haven where she will be the forefather of teaching people the beauty of incitement to death (on whoever they want eliminated) and Itsuki will rule the new Japanese district haha yah right remember to write down "fictional Tokyo" for reference please haha I'm tired cya guys next week to see if Itsuki gets kidnapped or not (my guess is only Hiasa and Seizaki will be left out of the 23 people) (yes, left alive)

Smoking never looked this cool haha second behind Aozaki Touko lol
(Also, this is technically suicide too, so... He'll die in 30 years lol)

Why would you die if you had this as a wife?
(Well, that's provided if you have one BOOM GOT ME)

P.S. "We can go next year, or the year after that" Hey I'm not that busy b*tch I just happen to be tied to a case involving politics lol. Also, dear wife, we better go soon you guys might not live through this week lmao
P.P.S. "If it's awkward calling me Sekuro, I'm okay with Hiasa" YES we got her, guys. WE GOT HER haha don't tell the wife lmao
[TL:DR; People will most definitely die if the law is allowed, Itsuki. Many people want to escape the world because of the many small things that can be exaggerated into a decision to leave society and give up on life. This will not work, I promise you go watch some Anime "Fractale" to learn more haha but seriously]
[TL:DR; Itsuki became a politician and proposed a suicide law so he can kill himself. Well played, bro. Well played.]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Okay, I don't have much time left this week so let's be quick as there's many to cover this week which I didn't notice again, if Google didn't remind me of music releases so thank you robot lol. Tomita Miyu's debut single is... fine, I guess, but I still don't get why they would choose her to do a solo music debut she's young. *laughs* So yeah, the B-side isn't that great so I skipped it. Yeah, sphere's new single too, because I thought I can give another chance and then realised that I can't. Moving on, yanaginagi's B-side compilation is... pretty fresh considering I don't really listen to her singles yet along B-sides so this is quite a listen. I may give a couple of songs if all goes well. seven oops' new album also releases this week which I listened over the weekend (before Harvest Moon took over me lol) and... I still think they excel in emotional songs. The topic song which was lively and light-hearted wasn't impressive as some of the emo songs in the list, to be honest.

Next week brings Tomacchan's new single for Anime "Sword Art Online" and I PROMISE there aren't any new ones already so I may take some time to review some of the songs which released earlier OMG three releases are out on Christmas this year. Klassic Note needs a different schedule for awards now OMFG I haven't thought of who to give awards to yet!! I should stop playing games haha

On news on Twitter since I have spent some time to update which singles and albums are releasing within the year and beyond, for some reason I gave web short animation "Shiohi Girls" a watch (the actual content is less than 30 seconds long btw) but I totally dig the ending theme which will be out next week early (I assume a new single by OMIGAWARA, the artist, is on the way) (why is cinema staff's name in there), SCANDAL announced their new album due February next year in which I have given their latest song already, vivid undress is releasing an album in December following major debut (yep) so congrats, and I hope the album other than the topic songs are good haha, and Amamiya Sora's new single is for Anime "RikeiKoi". Oooh boy for the last one because she be a lovesick girl in that Anime and I want to be the guy and listen to her sing an opening theme hopefully one up Tomacchan's or at least any of the Mocho songs we've heard this year hehe please make it happen




Okay I'm done I need to brush up for work tomorrow. Oh, and about the "Shiohi Girls" thing, I figured it's too short to talk about it because legit it's meant to display one-liners with romantic impact, so... my reviews involve about 6 on average haha. But I'll talk about it when it ends in 24 weeks since they air twice online every week. With Koko-chan, Kana-chan and Kayanon in the cast amongst many others, this is Tsurezure Children but way, WAY shorter lol. I'll give it a watch every week I technically follow Kana-chan and she retweets this stuff haha also subscribed on YouTube just in case I missed it hehe. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... you can moonwalk in the Harvest Moon game.Haha yeah. I'll attach a GIF here to show you guys if I can connect that Switch to my PC haha bye

P.S. How to moonwalk: move the stick in the wrong direction while holding the run button

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #45

Well, let's talk about what I learnt in programming this week haha

In summary, I learnt how to use third-party external Javascript dependent on another external Javascript framework (D3.js if you know it), host it, edit it to my requirements which might have been left rotting for 4 years now (which is why), and I also learnt to write a calendar and fill it with pop-up events using only pure Javascript. Those can be seen in the new Wanted List page, by the way. I should put these skills in my resume lol I've done enough of this for the week let's watch some entertainment

アニメ Sora no Method OVA

"I am a saucer, so I don't really know when I was born" This series in a nutshell haha Noel I don't know anything too tbh

The dad is so sadded her kid is hanging out with her friends but yeah in case you forget the mother isn't here already so yeah, real sadded. In this unexpected special episode (#SoraMeso17) which I guess numbering it would be useless especially when it's 5 years after this Anime original has aired... let's revise a bit, shall we? Firstly, Nonoka. She's the main girl. (She be voiced by Nan-chan) (I don't know her back in 2014 by the way but today... haha) She's the one who came back to this town after leaving in middle school, making a promise that she and her friends will be together forever... yes it was the father's fault for moving. Noel was technically summoned to fulfil this wish with strong emotions, in which case the saucer that is with Noel herself will not leave until it was fulfilled. That is pretty much the premise of the series. The OVA episode here adds in new secondary character Carol (Kouno Marika), who is a fellow saucer kid as Noel, but is here to tell her to move on. Although I would argue that if Noel wants to settle down and there aren't any monarchy above them saucers then why not just settle down, right? (At this age though? lol) But yeah, Noel the saucer kid has fulfilled her promise as per the saucer (it's not hanging in the sky anymore, for starters) ie. to be with the others forever. Yeah, kind of a flaw in premise, but that is precisely (maybe) why she hasn't left the town yet. And also probably why her blue saucer is nowhere to be seen. In Carol's perspective and thanks for the background clarification which isn't present up until this episode, their "job" is to go around to fulfil wishes using their saucer, so yeah, Noel is not doing her part as of now, settling into the cafe run by Yuzuki (Toyosaki Aki) and helping out as a waitress? Yeah, that might be a little too far. (THAT OUTFIT THOUGH lol) And thus, Carol decides to chase Noel's saucer away from the town. *gets serious flashbacks* Apart from the slight logic flaw which comes from the kid(s), it is obvious this episode just wants to inject some logic to the otherwise sensual series. Noel didn't give much reason to stay or fulfil the wish for Nonoka, because it didn't need reason. It needed a power to wish for it to come true. Add in cold-hearted think-a-lot Shione (Komatsu Mikako), ex-souvenir shop counter Koharu (Yoshimura Haruka) (I know all the girls now lmao) and baka aniki Souta (lol but I swear this was mentioned in the original series, by Yuzuki) and the group is reunited... for a celebration. The episode also centers about Noel's... beginnings? I guess she doesn't know when she was born (I guess we all don't), but Nonoka decided to make it an occasion: on the day the 5 of them made the wish. And Carol was invited too. Just that... she's reluctant. Firstly it feels like she's right or maybe she didn't get how Noel was technically stuck to this wish lol, but also because she is rather stubborn. Even after being treated to onsen, good food, and everything else in between (I did not see that bath scene lol), she still knows that it isn't right to stay since - and she's not wrong - the wish has been fulfilled. Whether Noel was counted in it... it's as vague as the last episode back then tbh. Not that I understand the series well because I promise you I have only seen the first episode again from like, half a year ago just for the feels and before they announced this, but yeah, that's what we know so far. And in a surprising twist (seriously?), remember Carol wanted Noel to leave? She wished for it too much and it happened. The saucer reacted. Noel was to be leave the place. But as you can see (spoiler because happy ending), Noel didn't leave so yay happy ending, since as much as the saucer(s) get to fulfil wishes, it also can be controlled. I guess maybe that's why Noel was still in this town. That... is as much as I can comprehend. How the two saucer kids share the same birthday though? I'll let you to think about this yourself. In a nutshell, it was a lovely trip to the past when I liked the Anime as little as Carol did of Noel (lol I made a dere joke there), the theme songs were nice, Marinka was a great choice for Carol's voice I guess (although I would argue anyone can take her place in this haha) and Noel's humming was so top grade, every time I hear that melody it brings a tear to my eye. Cya next time, saucer, and if you want to fulfil my wish for a season two starring just Carol fulfilling other people's wishes, I'll be sure to watch. That much, I can wish.

Aw this getup makes me want to visit the cafe she works in lol

MFW I see Noel dressed up as a waitress haha my inner pedo is showing

P.S. "When you were born..." Yeah kid, when were YOU born?? Probably about a few centuries ago or something lol don't ask
P.P.S. Official hashtag btw, the one on the top of this post

But seriously, which saucer kid is cuter? Haha
*wink*

But seriously, which saucer kid is cuter? Haha
*wink*wank* lol please no

アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club

"You have always been soft on women" I don't really want to know the context of this, to be honest? *laughs*

Ahahaha shy Midori is kawaii~ *laughs* Okay, jokes aside (Midorin don't get offended by this please), the new episode (#SaikoroClub06) talks about a reality check? Uh oh. In case you didn't like the words "economics" and "creative work" please look away now- Don't worry I won't bore you with that because I can't stand it myself anyways. This episode, the girls playtest a game. Made by Midori-chan herself. Ignoring whoever Emilia is because she just appeared to say like, two lines lol, Midori-chan is making her own game. Sadly, it's not ready to be played yet. Well, according to her. Shunning her friends, she goes for the manager of Saikoro Club (I didn't know that was the official name of his shop) and in playtesting the guy's old pal... Who are you? "[in Japanese] I'm George Beresford" Who?? *laughs* Ah, it's always a joy shitting on Japanese speaking English lol. Anyways, some famous board game designer showed up in Midori-chan's life, and he does the bad guy's role by telling her the hard truth: you can't make a board game alone. Refusing to explain things because even I know what it is without watching this whole episode, and I guess you may have guessed it, it requires people to offer criticism and opinion about your game. If you make something and no one likes it, it's not a game it's just a creative work. Like me, I have a lot of creative works in the making that'll never complete lol. Anyways, she decides to rush it up using her own effort out of spite (haha I like myself a dere Midori-chan), and invites her two friends to play it. It's called "One Room", it's not a game that exists that's for sure (kudos on the author for not choosing something that exists haha I guess he's a designer too), and it's about working and buying stuff to fill up your house. And if you have playtested board games like I did (I just happen to know friends who want to earn a quick buck making board games) (yeah sad reality, isn't it) (I wasn't joking when I said "quick buck" though), you know that plenty of opinions will come in if you have played a game for the first time, especially when it doesn't cover all bases and has lack of opportunity to expand. (Did I just nail it for her though haha) And most importantly, point balance. All these require time to play through them in all cases and determine whether it'll make the most sense or in some cases, whether it'll be the most popular way to do it. That's how it'll win the hearts of the people who will buy your game. Again, it has to tie to economics. Okay reality check aside, Midori then realises George is right, as she notices one can't make a board game alone. Yeah, she's not alone George because she has friends who she can torture, uh, I mean, play with till the game is perfect!! (Don't think of the torture part, please) Well, I didn't expect things to be this technical, but hey, I've already gone this far, so I'm not complaining. MVP Midori-chan btw; I'll take shy girls any time of the day haha. Next episode seems like a more proper introduction to the new character Emilia, and we'll see what she has to offer. Looks like someone who might be German and looks like she knows a lot about board games, so maybe she can playtest someone's game too lol it isn't bad Midori-chan but might I offer another suggestion: you can stack items in your room, like on top of the table, which will by default give you more points than the table, which effectively allows patching of lower score items. Just saying. *laughs* Hey, if you have better ideas... tell the author you can't get Midori-chan btw lmao

My face after I come out of the office every day lol

Gotta make that Nintendo Switch reference there how much have they paid you guys? lmao
("Not enough to light up that screen and show the logo" lol)

P.S. "What do you all think? Not very good?" They are scared of you!!~ Haha Midori-chan don't hit me but on the other hand could you? *laughs*

アニメ Babylon

"Nothing happened, and they said they were raped?" Hmm she must be a great, sexy voice actress haha nope not providing examples

"We're going to be doing more evil deeds in the future" HELL YEAH haha please Seizaki stop saying stuff like this to your female assistant lol. In this new episode (#Babylon05) where talking about sex isn't overrated, we finally talk about the evil that is Magase Ai. Cue her uncle who technically is her stepuncle I suppose, and also a doctor of a mental institute. It took quite a few episodes to get to this, but despite the fact that Seizaki refused to believe, we might have some woman here who can drive people to die just from sexual seduction. The doctor described a past incident of students from her school with anxiety syndrome all saying the same thing: they were "raped" by Magase. How though I'm not going to explain too much because I swear the doctor is almost going to jerk off in front of the two investigators (and one of them is female btw, Jesus) (I mean, how can Hiasa not be offended by this lmao), but suffice it to say Magase is hot. So hot, jalapeños will wilt when she walks near it haha. (Can we get her an AV debut though? Haha just asking) And the doctor is even kind enough to give her "counselling" which basically in his own words are "I want to meet you everyday" and she gains from it because she is now a master seducer, if you haven't noticed by now. Back into investigations, Itsuki released a new YouTube video omg issued a public debate in front of public TV, and invites all political candidates to talk about the suicide law openly. I mean, if you didn't notice because you hate politics as much as I do, it's a way to generate consensus. Whether to support or refute the suicide law.  And Itsuki is determined to make the former happen. I mean, just place Magase Ai beside the cameraman facing all the guests lol. Anyways, there's only like, 2 days before the debate, and 3 days till parliamentary election, so at least Seizaki is getting worried. And he might have gotten even more worried when he received a call from Magase which is from a phone number of (in case you didn't notice) (ikr I think I'm so smart lol) the investigator specially called in to investigate on the woman. So yeah, RIP dude you will be missed. *laughs* Suffice it to say, something happened, and he got sent into the highway with cars fast enough to kill him. "Suicide", by the way. So yeah, she talks about RPG games and the devil and stuff (the author's an isekai otaku too? lol), but yeah, and she wants to become one. The devil, I mean, while Seizaki takes on the hero role. In summary, as Seizaki and the uncle has mentioned, she is evil. Very evil. And she knows Itsuki who intends to pass the suicide law. So there you go, the perfect combination to let you pass a crazy law without good reason. At this point though, I would argue with Seizaki that Magase is indeed capable of seducing people just by her existence alone, to the extent that no meeting of the 64 people would be required to do whatever happened 2 episodes ago. Which probably means someone drove down the freeway and then gave little instruction for this incident to happen or something. Which makes this totally possible now, I believe. How will things go on from here though? Your guess is as good as mine. To say that the suicides so far might totally be induced just from her existence might be totally possible, although I would still argue that the drugs thing from the first episode must have something to do with it. As a kid Magase Ai was looking at guys until they got anxiety syndrome; adult Magase Ai might have just touched their lips and they will die from drug overdose. Trust me, it's that easy considering it's her. "You will feel no pain" Maybe the drug is just a painkiller lol okay I'm done talking about death

I mean seriously, who looks at this when they are 15 and wants to *** already?
Only those 7 people I guess lol

I look at this woman and I want to die for her already lmao especially if you know who voices this sexy girl (well she looks average but the voice)

P.S. "How she can enslave men" Hiasa you're just not good enough lmao
P.P.S. "What kind of a person is (Magase Ai)" She'a a weird fuck. *laughs* Nah just joking she's a weird fuck who wants to kill people lol
[TL:DR; I get dreams of me wanting to f**k someone and woke up in my bed not wet. I guess that's what Magase Ai is doing to those people. *laughs*] Magase Ai is voiced by a 40-year-old btw lmao
[TL:DR; Before: Magase Ai found hanging around with a dude. After: Dude found dead. We don't know what is in between.]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

There are quite a lot of releases I guess I can talk about, but again considering it's this time of the year I will probably not give much to be honest. Amamiya Sora's new single is available on streaming from Day 1 (thanks MusicRay'n from here on) and... I didn't like it. Again, when everyone else is singing such songs it's hard to be happy giving this one. Seriously, that "Eternal" single would have been better. Think about it. Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new single for some drama is... okay? I think? I'm just giving chance here so don't ask too much haha. SCANDAL's new song is out now, and... I think it has style. Style that I may give. But since they are announcing something next week (more on that later) then I guess I'm holding back for now. The lyrics are the focus here though, I think. I would argue it sounds like an appeal to their music audience lol and finally sumika's single from last year because I remembered not giving KimiSui their theme songs this year and... we're not getting another Klassic Note Review, don't worry. (It's like I'm preventig it from happening lol) Also, no to sphere's new single. Oh we talked about it last time? Okay haha I just watched Gekidan Sphere so I'm just reminding myself (more on last para)

Next week is something I care little about since it's Tomita Miyu's debut single but sure I'll give her in the face of Anime. Also, which I probably cared a lot more since I found this out last week lol is seven oops' new album. I'll give this for sure. Coming in with a clean slate, guys. Please treat me well with good songs I can't forget what you guys did to me in 2015 lol (they were the No.1 song that year)

In news online, I thank Anime music label Flying Dog for releasing their music library on streaming (international, on Spotify too) so I can hear my Nu-chan and Naobou whenever I am now (typically at work haha), Fuchigami Mai's new single releases next February because suddenly I care now lol, SCANDAL is livestreaming next week with a major announcement and unless it's them changing music labels again lol it's most likely an album with new songs released every few months, and Ikimonogakari's new album since their hiatus releases in December. Last week in Klassic Note too so yeah don't expect too much giving from me guys I'm wrapping up for awards at that time of year.




That's it, folks. I have a current intention of declaring this year "The Year of Photobooks" (lol) and concluding them with Baba Fumika's photobook (legit one, not all half-naked lol) which is releasing next week and probably Uesaka Sumire's releasing next month. I guess I'll order next month and review them by the end of the year. And then that'll be it. I guess I'll do the conclusion in that future post but for now, don't expect any more after this one. Yes, not even Kitou Akari's 1st photobook in January next year. Yeah. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... man Gekidan Sphere is really good compared to Sphere Club, the last time the idol group attempted at drama I'm not going to review it though I need to get into my work mood soon lol bye

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #44

I guess I'll watch Anime earlier and do this before work. Haha yeah, it's that part of my job again.

Welcome back, I guess. I had a wonderful week. But I doubt you'll have a better one than me because I'm on work leave haha. However, you will probably have a better one than me because I still can't hear much out of my left ear and because I half-assed planning for the week I think I only did productive "work" for like 2 out of the 5 weekdays lol what a way to waste time staying at home. Okay, this time around it might be not for own benefit and I might get away with open sourcing this system if I complete it someday so...

But seriously, going to work taught me to be more disciplined and prepared for time during breaks so that I can actually do the stuff I don't get to do in the face of money. Oh well, can't wait to screw up planning again for end of the year haha let's start

アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club

"We're so lucky that Miki's aunt runs an inn!" I don't want to say this, Aya-chan, but yeah, this happens in Anime quite often lol

Sorry for spoiling this, but yeah, someone's relative probably had a place for them to stay so they don't have to stay in a hotel lol I wonder how rich people in other Anime are when they don't have to do this. In this total fanservice episode (#SaikoroClub05) where everyone around Miki is just happy she has friends now lmao, she brings her friends to the beach. Yeah, what did I tell you? *laughs* So yeah, they went to the beach. By solving the hardest problem which is accomodation apparently, the girls had a chance to go to Kanazawa, go shopping, take a ofuro in the inn courtesy of Miki's aunt (it felt like she was blackmailed by the mother tbh), and... it rained. Oh well, let's go home. *laughs* Of course not, because besides Aya-chan being so sad and crying about it raining on the day they want to go to the beach, so is Takashi, the other kid in this inn who also desperately wants the same thing Aya-chan wants. The beach, guys, the beach. So, to offset that sadness, the girls play a board game with the kid until the rain stops because this is a board game Anime or else we'll have a full on bath scene haha. Introduce Kanazawa's unique shogi alternative, Goita. I don't think I want to explain the rules here since Midori-chan - excuse me, Professor Midori-chan - is being MVP already explaining games every episode probably knowing that she would chase the audience away if she also did it the first time playing it with the aunt (fourth wall explanations over here, so they can explain it to the kid), but seriously, how is the kid not even aroused at these onee-chan wearing their bikini under those thin shirts lmao. I'll be totally distracted by that and lose more times than Aya-chan btw lol. (I felt a strange awkwardness when they did not mention quite enough of chest size because Midori, she bares them all haha) (okay creep moment over let's move on) So for this episode, the idea is teamwork, or to say, play smartly according to what your partner is doing on the other side of the table since it's alternate turns and you don't play one after the other or together. Board game intinuition, they call it. This episode also brought upon Miki's flashback on how she didn't remember this game because once again, she got a bad impression of it when she was a kid. Man, why everyone is bullying Miki-chan those people deserve to go to hell lol. And to wrap this game up, and just as an advice for any game? Don't tell people "why you don't get it" without explaining why, especially on exceptions in game strategies. The victim will just either hate you or hate this game for life because they think it's too difficult for them. So yeah, teach them. Games are supposed to be fun. If you lost interest then that's it. That's... what I know from experience anyway since I'm a boring man. *laughs* Anyways, the episode is fun, we did get to see the girls in the beach as much as it is rather lacking (not for Midori-chan it's not) (BOOM haha), but we now know this was all a plan for the aunt to spy on the niece in place of the mother to assess whether she has made good friends or not. Well, I can't think of otherwise because this show isn't evil (well last episode maybe lol), but suffice it to say "there is nothing to worry about it mom" because Miki-chan got lucky, just like how she plays board games. *laughs* What, you want me to talk more about the girls half naked? *looks at them* Nah. *laughs* And next week looks like an episode I can really relate to, so I guess we can talk about beta-testing of new games next time.

This is basically all of us when we saw how wonderful this episode was lol

Miki-chan, who is that to your right? *laughs*
(Ah, it's Midori-chan)

P.S. You may not remember anything from your childhood Miki-chan but YOUR AUNT KNOWS EVERYTHING lmao I mean if your childhood is bad I'd rather people also remember the good stuff for me instead
P.P.S. Gotta love those Anime level sleeping right there #RealityCheck but that's not how most of us fall asleep btw we don't talk to sleep I'm not such a heavy sleeper lol
[Because this fanservice episode is too much probably the only one we'll get here's more]

This is so wholesome I can't even

MFW I saw high school girls half naked lol not true
(Insert or***m joke here)

アニメ Babylon

"Is suicide really a bad thing?" Well, if you don't care about everyone else around you, then it isn't? Think about it.

But seriously, Itsuki. You did not create a solution; you just created more society problems. In this new episode (#Babylon04) of the new arc apparently, we try to stop all this from happening. You know, at least, reverse the declaration or something since he's the mayor and can do whatever he wants now like legalising suicide for whatever reason. So, before we go to the storytelling, and TL:DR; (why put it here though lol me) this episode is about the discussion about general approach to stopping Itsuki in his actions in preparation for the parliamentary elections. Now to the noob politics talk which I promise I'll keep it to this episode. Firstly, Seizaki's team. He has been given rights to investigate the incident and to arrest Itsuki... but according to current laws, and it's the same in Shiniki. So traditional Japan laws, and not that we can pass a new law to arrest him now, current ones. Those that can't do much, that is. So yeah, might as well learn new vocabulary since abetment is the focus here. Seizaki now had to gather as many investigators as he can to get to the truth. Next, we have a new a character to introduce. She... she's a robot. *laughs* But Seizaki is right: she is any number of times more useful than Fumio haha burning him even after he died lmao. She's Hiasa (so, so glad I can call you by your first name because I'm not Seizaki lol), relative of the Vice President of Justice, and an absolute genius in law, so this will make Seizaki's job easy since she's a walking encyclopedia. (Refer to postscript for personal opinions lmao) So yeah, he gathered the guys we've seen thus far, introduced us to... okay there are other new guys around but who cares haha (oh this guy, he looks like some Arrancar from BLEACH for some reason lol) (I SWEAR HE'S AN ACCOMPLICE TO EVIL lmao), and with only 10 days into the election and with Itsuki putting down election rules which will make him win especially when he explicitly stated that candidates must talk about the new suicide law (to be), this is going to get a lot of attention, but not a lot of likes as of now, so at least the society has some level of salvation. Still, this needs to be stopped, and we might have less leads than we can find. All 64 who jumped off the building can't be traced on motive, camera footage of the city doesn't reveal much, and Itsuki is still missing as he disseminates his announcements through online videos. To the end of the episode, the one special order of an undercover investigator who Seizaki hired has good leads on Itsuki himself which will probably be discussed a lot next episode: the fact that he still can't be found, and he has a history he can't tell when he was a student. That, and Magase Ai, it seems. So we shall find out. I mean, if influence isn't the thing that ties everything up, I don't know what will. So yeah, all in all this is turning out to be a fun investigation to watch, as much as it might be fast-paced because Seizaki be like "let's go" and he got results immediately shows how much power still is in his and Nomaru's hands, so hopefully things will continue to go well. Well, not until we realise Magase might be some evil witch who can cast spells or something lol I mean isn't she now? *laughs* (Well technically there's that fall asleep forever brew lol) We shall see for it ourselves. Be warned: his family and people around him might be sacrificed at any moment's notice, so don't get attached to them too much. Itsuki does seem to take the psychological path though, but that doesn't mean it can't lead to violence, so I'll be looking forward to that haha. Other than that, well... prove to me that this is a good story, Anime. I want to ensure Itsuki's survival to the extent that he can't kill himself and lives forever haha he might be God now to those people though. Ahem, excuse me, those "idiots". *laughs* What, I can't insult them now? Come for me, dead people haha okay that's quite enough I may be drugged or seduced soon lol

When you make a shitty racist YouTube video lol

I'm that guy right there when the lecturer talks about the next semester test lol
(Yes, the one with the mouth open haha)

P.S. *looks at Hiasa* Instead of working can we have s*x first? You look like a total banger lol wait a minute am I becoming... a politician??? *laughs*
P.P.S. "Politics isn't difficult" Yeah, you just have a couple of drinks, f**k a woman, and- Oh wait, wrong reality lol sorry for the politician jokes

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Well, despite the lack of new songs I still did manage to give a listen to some of the recent releases that I may have missed, and catching up on earlier ones since it's the end of the year already and I'm not pressing for new ones now. fumika's new album is finally decided on, so... basically only one new new song because the other was from a digital single or something as I wait for this release to happen, and it did. So yeah, fumika this is as much as I will give for now. a flood of circle's 2011 album came from listening to them on a live video, so... I haven't really decided whether to give other songs in the album besides the one, so... maybe not I guess? I also got a listen to the new theme songs from Anime "Babylon" which were done by Q-MHz - the music producers group which is all the craze in Klassic Note like, 3 years ago lol - and... I liked the first one. The second one which was sung by Komatsu Mikako (yep, Mikakoshi) wasn't that great to be honest.

Next week brings us Amamiya Sora's new single which... I mean, you heard the music video preview, right? I guess I don't like her when she sings impact songs haha. On the other hand, Tomatsu Haruka's new music video preview is really awesome considering her having experience in singing Anime "Sword Art Online" opening theme songs is giving her an edge, and I think I'll like the song when it comes out in a couple of weeks. Other things on Twitter include Yogee New Waves' new music video for their EP due end of the year (meh) (haha), I like that The Floor's indie releases are available on streaming now because that's where I started to like them, Ikimonogakari released a new song which I didn't like, and miwa's new song and probably single is going to be the next Anime "BORUTO" opening theme song. And oh yeah, as a side note, I talked about indie rock band "iki" earlier and what happened to them on Twitter after I've not heard any news from them, and... you can look at the reply from the vocalist yourself haha. I mean, you won't get famous just from me tweeting your music video bro I'm just a nobody on social media




Okay, I'm done. Also, I'm done with the Wanted List page by now so you guys can take a look at that, I suppose. I think I also have a couple of drafted posts I can catch up on so I'll see how that goes. Also, if anyone else is reading this, I'm doing an open appeal on people who know computer hardware to assist me in my next upgrade for my PC. As you all might know, I'm still on Windows 7. Yeah, that antique of a treasure that's going to end support next year. So yeah, I'm jumping ship not because the new ship is good, but the old one is sinking. But I may just end up changing out the system SSD and upgrade to Windows 10 and be done with it but I'll see about it. I'm not free in time and in cash to do this anyways. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I wish I have something to bundle with that sphere- *ahem* new calendar I'm going to get for the new year. Yeah, I gave it away, didn't I? Haha come back next week, would you?

P.S. I... think we'll talk about things like Gekidan Sphere and the new "Sora no Method" episode next week if I don't get subtitles for these by the next issue.
