The Eleventh Book Worth of Photos(?): Not Photobook Edition Plus! Zeroth Book Worth of Photos

Yes, we are not near the end, it seems.

This time around, of course, I did say we're done with photobooks, and that still holds true today, but we're not going to review photobooks we're going to review live tour pamphlets!!! Haha I got you, didn't I? *laughs* Anyways, I thought I'd also take you guys on a short journey back in time, to when I also, got a taste of this about 4 years ago that is not Asakura Momo, but of Komatsu Mikako. Let's talk about them, shall we?

Like, seriously I got the package right after lunch this has been sitting on my room for an afternoon you know how hard it is to focus when you work from home?? Haha just joking I don't care there's no cleavage too lmao




THE "REVIEWS"
Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus" Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"

Origin: I'll talk about Mocho here first, I guess. Asakura Momo, as you would have known her by now which I assume you saw her photobook which I reviewed, is more than just defying the definitions of ero-kawaii haha. She's cute, she's clumsy, and has rack. You couldn't ask for a more stereotypical Anime character than her- Oh we're talking about real life? Haha I thought she wasn't a voice actress and totally gravure level standards by now. Still, it's not just that which will make any of us like her, I assure, but whatever you are going to see if still as of now, her greatest asset.

As to why I managed to be able to get this considering normally you have to be AT the location of the lives to be able to even buy them (while stocks last), her talent company MusicRay'n outsources their tour goods sale to online platform HMV Japan (sounds familiar?) which is in collaboration with Lawson, quite a large company in Japan itself famous for its chain of convenience stores. So, typically, these things will be sold off like hotcakes, meaning I will have ZERO CHANCE to get anything anyways so I just don't, but this time around, as you have seen, outside is in quite a disaster, so live performances in this case have to be cancelled or delayed. So what will happen to the goods which are already made? They opened up an online store to sell them, and here we are. I assumed I just got lucky to pounce on it first (pounce on her, more like), so I think I just got a second chance to get what I like, to be honest.

However, this is not with what I did years ago, when Komatsu Mikako got her turn for a live tour due to the release of a new album after change of music label (in which she is in now) TOY'S FACTORY, and opening her own online store (yes just for herself, Mocho is part of TrySail's store) back in 2016 she sold stuff that will make me want to burn all my money away. I think I did not show much of it here because I don't think the pamphlet is great? Let's take a trip down then, 4 years after it has stayed at my room.


But before all this, UNBOXING- I'm just kidding, we'll skip through that stuff and talk about them separately.
Ah, this cuteness...
Yes, this. Since I was intending to buy some bromide photos which they don't have, I decided to play along with their tour goods gacha, a common thing to see in such live events where you play to have a chance to win whatever is listed on the machine itself. Here's what the potential prizes were:

I wanted those badges since I don't think I would want anything practical (I mean, what am I to do with the tape?? lol), and I got it, so I'm glad I got what I wanted. Yes, and that is two badges in one, by the way. Already worth the purchase. I thought of getting another just in case my luck isn't great like the last time I bought something from Mikakoshi's shop (I... only bought one and it's literally one. One Polaroid photo. Of half her face haha wtf), but I guess I don't have to with Mocho on the line. You're the best hehe

[Also, will be doing this differently and skipping all interviews/Q&As just to show you nothing but beauty haha I'm tired from work to do the translations]

パンフレット Asakura Momo Live Tour 2020 "Agapanthus"
You see where I put that finger? Hehe
Well, so much for listing all the dates inside this book which they cannot remove lol

You don't know how much I want to start a romantic day with her so bad haha

The many faces of Mocho

Okay this is a lot more than 4 haha tell me what you like most mine is middle right

Not going to translate this but if you can read it go ahead

When they don't have enough budget to get pants for the photo shoot
(You know, just don't wear anything) (lol)

I want to be the teddy bear haha

Hmm, nice mood, I like

This is it, her and selfies are just perfect, I tell you

I'm not good at photography Mocho so I'm not doing it

That protrusion, really...

Really, that slight bump out is where my fantasies are at haha

Many questions in that interview but when I see Mocho lying on it...

Offshots!! Again, I want to be the teddy bear haha second is the camera lol

Perfection.


So all in all, not many pages compared to a photobook, and yes they charge a lot for these things. But as I read through the interview of her being hyped and all, too bad all this isn't happening to say the least (I mean, look outside), but I'm still glad I got to see some shots. Boob shots, that is. Haha again she doesn't have much of a rack have you seen Uesaka Sumire? *laughs*

PLUS!!!

Since I think I shared the calendar which is part of the set, let's show a little of the other thing that is in the set which just... brushed through my mind lol sorry Mikakoshi! Happy marriage btw this is for you haha
パンフレット Komatsu Mikako HAPIKOSHI ! LIVE 2016 "Imagine day, Imagine life!"
Very small portrait compared to the Mocho one, I tell you
(FYI Inorin's upcoming one doesn't even have her as the cover lol why)

Yes, the HAPIKOSHI event is actually held at her birthday, on 11th November

All the budget went into the balloons haha

I want to be the balloon hehe

In case you want to read the Q&A here you go

In case you didn't realise the chair's correctly upright and she's lying down

THIS.

In case you didn't know, music producers group Q-MHz was behind her music career revival back in 2016.

I feel so aroused and I don't know why haha

That's her playing with the balloons because they have a lot more left lol

And in case you wonder why I say this book isn't great see how much white space there is in this one page

I want to be the balloon- we did that joke haha

You can read this if you want haha I'm just lazy now

Ah, good time to talk about what was sold back then. I, uh, as mentioned above for Mocho, went for the photos to the left and the calendar... and pamphlet set because I can't just get the calendar, that's why I have this. Now you know.


So yeah, balloons. I mean, I've got a boner already so they win haha okay just joking Mikakoshi is just a beauty in herself, don't you agree? But as you can see, it's not much. Which is also half the reason why I didn't talk about it. Then again, Mocho's is also similar considering there's only two outfits and the theme of the shoot is pretty much the same for both. Yeah, seeing a pattern here?




So there you have it. I think you already know this is a huge waste of money just for them to earn the heck out of idolism good as possible from us, which is great considering that this is nothing compared to what I'm going to get in the next couple of months. Upcoming packages include (1) my break of promise on buying photos off online sites since the last time I visited an auction site and (2) probably part 2 of this but this time around without any pamphlets so just photos, starring Waki Azumi and Minase Inori. Yes. idolism part 2, baby! I mean, when isn't it? Look at this tag and tell me when is "Everyday Life" not about any of these? *laughs* Cya guys next time then, and I hope this is some fuel for me to go through the rest of the week THANK GOODNESS for that Public Holiday in lieu next Monday amirite??? Haha bye

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #20

Well, I guess you can guess why I'm choosing the last minute of the weekend to watch Anime this week. Or maybe not, whatever. I'm kinda burned out man. Maybe it's because of the "lockdown", maybe it's because I haven't had a work break for some time, probably since my birthday I think. So yeah, sub 3 months already? Last year I took a break at this time of the year but with the stay at home stuff? Suddenly that is unnecessary. Maybe I should start applying for a break next month when all goes back to normal. Well, as normal as society can be.

Let's Anime then, I guess. Not that I'm not interested in the drama, but I'm just too excited for stuff I'm too lazy to do. That or I'm still anticipating a HUGE package coming to me at some point next month. Not going to talk about it too much, but I think I need to prepare the upcoming blog post for it so I don't have to burn another weekend to write it haha let's start




アニメ Kakushigoto
"I'll only live for about ten years, so please stay by my side as much as you can" Aw... and in case you don't know what that is, it's not the mother haha *sees Kakushi cry* Uh oh.
"When walking a dog, people usually only look at the dog" Yeah that's actually true one time my colleagues and I were out for lunch and a hunk came in with a dog and it's literally all the girls swarming up to... the dog. *laughs* Ah, I don't know if we can call this bliss or not even getting a dog (that I'm potentially allergic to) can get me laid lmao. In this new episode (#Kakushigoto07) we.. are getting a lot of plot development. This Anime is serious, it seems. And I might be getting more lore to this story then I may have expected. I'm getting scared. *laughs* Okay, this week is all about getting a pet. Specifically, a pet dog. I have been recently examined (a year ago?) to be slightly allergic to dogs (and none to cats), but even then I do not have any luxury to have one. Well, because I'm the pet. *laughs* Uh, I mean, I have an elder sister. This might be a bad analogy so... okay, to Hime-chan. She wants a dog.The father feels stressed in getting one not really because that he doesn't want the daughter to have it, but then realises that she wants one mainly because she might be lonely. Yeah, that "missing a companion at home" thing is hitting her already. And as Kakushi looks around for opinions of others around his life other than Hime, from Ichiko-sensei who has one to the assistants who want one in the office (lol), to whoever sent that piano over ugh (haha), everyone has an opinion to give. On the other hand, Hime-chan starts to think that whether having this "burden" on this single-parent family is a good thing or not. The point is that Hime-chan is such an understanding kid at her age, all of this doesn't matter. It's not because she lost her mom; it's not because that she doesn't mind about being alone. It's because she knows. She knows it'll only be a burden to others, all this time. This is the kind of kids you want to have by the way, parents out there. Anyways, the dad in the end did decide to get her one after all, amongst all expectations, but the one on the poster has already been fulfilled so... the father-in-law gives a hand. So, more family lore, and thanks to Keshi-kun for bringing that piece of artwork into the workplace, we now know that that man in the limo is likely Hime-chan's grandfather, and is himself a professional artist (considering Kakushi's as a manga artist isn't professional) (whatever dude like I buy your paintings but I buy manga though), is probably saddened by the passing of his own daughter, and feels that the granddaughter will feel the same for her own childhood. And thus, most likely, the accidental gifts that have been appearing on their doorstep. I think we know why Kakushi chose independence over reliance of the wife's family, but it seems the connection can never be cut off, as we have mentioned before. Nonetheless, Hime-chan's cooking as a kid is getting better, and with a cut back to reality... Hime has been followed lol. At the end of the episode, now I guess bijin-level Ichiko-sensei who followed the "detective squad" who are following Hime-chan (lol), reveals to them (and maybe Hime) good and bad news. What are they though? I sure hope it's not the mother coming back to life haha hey we don't even know if she's dead or not. Remember: Hime-chan has not yet burst into tears as a kid. Not yet. I'm getting worried I might be getting a lot of jokes but a lot more lore down the road, and that might be a good thing. Cya guys next week.
When you have to take care of the dog and the father at the same time lol
Who's the matured one now, you tell me. *laughs*
(But seriously man, parents are human too they need a break once in a while)
P.S. "Lately, there have been rumours of Ichiko-sensei going out with another man" Haha I like this opening to the detective squad we've seen since Episode 1 "She's definitely getting duped" What did I tell you lmao
P.P.S. *hears the dog bark* That's a human. *laughs* *hears the Ten Commandments of Father and Daughter* lmao Kakushi no~!!
There are a lot of great long images of someone and a dog so I'll just put one of them here
Haha both are kawaii I don't know why

アニメ Yesterday wo Utatte
"I'm more comfortable with my situation than I should be" Yeah, me too. But seeing the pandemic out there, I'm glad I still am.
You know your girl's pissed when she can order her portion AND yours plus half the people in the restaurant haha Haru-chan don't eat too much you'll get fat also you guys aren't together yet so chill. *laughs* In this new episode (#YesterdayWoUtatte07) I think we may be getting another Rou-kun episode here. I don't really like people who look like me so... I'm glad he isn't. *laughs* Okay, maybe, but it seems like a tie-back to Shinako which we have been waiting for. So, about Rou-kun first. So, Rou talks about how wild he is and doesn't really like to be in situ forever especially with relationships I guess, and especially with childhood friend Shinako. We know that he already has feelings for the woman who took care of the brother until he passed away, still can't get over the brother after all these years. Hey, before we carry on? I would like to argue for Shinako's case that she is a mentally weak person, that she really cannot get over the brother after all these years. This, I think we may have seen enough of it all these weeks and also this episode to understand that. But considering we know how Rou-kun and Shinako think... Rou-kun where's your respect for the elderly? Haha Kana-chan I'm so sorry I just wanted to make a joke, sorry. *laughs* But really, Rou has his selfishness tucked into his wild personality, and that is making people around him uneasy, considering Shinako is in a different age gap AND thinks differently from him. His aggressiveness would've worked well on Rikuo (we will talk about that later haha I can't wait), but for Shinako... I would say he has made the wrong move. I wouldn't say is that he was late, but she isn't interested in you. For her to put down the fact of a dead person whom she loved, she has to forget about you. You cannot repeat history to make it worse for her, man. To know whether Rou-kun screwed this up already, I can confidently tell you he did because he said "I'll protect you in my brother's place" because in case you haven't realised then, you are NOT the brother. You screwed up bro; you're not getting anything out of this right now, I can tell you. And I SWEAR if Shinako appeared in front of Rikuo's place to not talk to him about things but it's to confess, I'll be even more darned for a roller coaster ride. Thank goodness from the author, we know this series isn't so direct of a case. Phew, got me worried for a moment haha. But secretly we know, dear author, secretly we know it's going to happen. I think I better say it here first, but whoever Shinako confesses to first will be dealbreaker to the relationship hogs we have here so far. We shall see if I'm correct in the next few episodes haha I said it here first. Well, turns out, spoiler alert, that we don't have to wait for next episode. And because we know Shinako does have feelings for Rikuo, and he has been a great listening ear thus far (I mean he is, and so am I) (haha I take pride in this btw), Shinako finally decides to take action after not being pushed for so long and realising no one will. (Basically my life in a nutshell) Oh boy, would this change things up. See, Rikuo? Changing your career path ain't all too bad after all. *laughs* To end this, I swear I stared at how Shinako was staring at Rou-kun's arms for the longest time ever, and I paused to realise that she's probably thinking about the brother. Ah... AH!!! *laughs* This show is deep, in many ways than other. Let's see how deep this rabbit hole we can do, we're only halfway through this. But I believe, we might be just getting started. I dig this ship, this Rikuo Shinako ship. We're going to depart for the high seas, boys! I can't wait for next week where Rikuo gets LAID lmao about that
[And BOY am I SO GLAD I can recognise the voice in that new theme song, so in case you don't know of "Sanketsu Shoujo" Sayuri, now is also my time to get back into her music this one isn't bad]
MFW... anything, actually. My face by the end of this episode to be honest haha
You will never understand this wholesomeness I'm feeling right now hehe
(NO SHE'S NOT KANA-CHAN STOP haha)
P.S. "I thought if I could do that, you'll stop treating me as a kid" That will never change, you brat. *laughs* Because you already are a kid, in Shinako's eyes. Nothing will change that. Think about it.
P.P.S. "Just keep thinking about it! That's how everyone grows up!" Yeah Haru-chan, you're the best haha
[Oh yeah just realised that Haru-chan is the first victim in this. Yeah, this episode is the happiest you'll see her in, by the way. Sadded haha]

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?
"You just want us to win such that we don't make Iino Miko a laughing stock?" Haha Shirogane, didn't know you can read human minds, out of all of them.
Man, with all this seriousness, I can't get over the fact that we aren't even getting a joke dropped down half this episode, but yeah, this is what happens when you get a second season Anime adaptation haha. So, it's time to get serious. In this new episode (#KaguyaSamaS206) we reach the final part of the Elections arc I would like to say, and it ended spectacularly, in many ways then other. Firstly, Shirogane's edge. Obviously, through many means than other, he is at the winning side, mostly due to Kaguya being scheming as heck even to the extent of bribing and getting teaches to stare at students who are not on their side (wow, just wow), but that's not the point. On Miko-chan's turn, that's where the focus is that this time around. We have learnt that Miko-chan has never won Student Council elections thus far, not even once. For being too serious, she is never liked by anyone other than her best friend since she started school. That said, when standing upon the stage for her own speech, that's where everything including her past and present hit her. Not the awesome grades, not her confidence, but the lack thereof. One should know even without listening to her backstory as explained by her friend that, over the course of so many years ever she started running for Student Council elections, she has been infamously... bullied, in many fronts. I'm not going to start sh*tting on her because I am one myself to a smaller extent, but I would argue life treats all of us differently, and evil is mostly what was placed upon Miko-chan. Looking at you, Kaguya-sama. *laughs* But going back to Ishigami's request at the start of the episode, he stated one thing that he wanted to do, and that is to win the other candidate by a landslide. Though rather vague, he didn't explain why until he showed Shirogane her stage fright due to all the years of trying to break through, and if you didn't have that of a conclusion from Shirogane... I hope you have learnt a lesson too. Because really, Miko-chan has suffered enough. Just like Kaguya but she never changes so I won't care now refer to season 1 for that haha, but suffice it to say that helping Miko-chan is better than killing her. Mentally, I mean. It takes a lot to voice out what you want (ignore those protesters please, I swear), but as an individual, doing that requires a lot more than confidence. Finding that new comfort zone is never as easy as doing it forever until you get it. Coming out from all these years of growing, I can say that too. So Shirogane dropped the bomb on Ishigami seeing how he was pissed at her, is that they should help her learn. And thus, Shirogane, instead of cutting her off just as she was speechless at her speech after Kaguya literally railed on her election speech, chose to let her present her point to the students in the school so she could get her point across. Though she did not win, the students then learnt of how bad the prestigious school's reputation was on morals ie. rock bottom, and why there is a need to improve on it, basically her as a member of the Morals Committee. But yeah, seriously, Shirogane's team has been enjoying life too much in school. Didn't they say the worst of life is at school? These kids look like they're on a vacation lmao. In the end, Shirogane still won because we know the election was rigged (thanks, Russia) (haha), but that didn't stop Miko-chan in getting her own group of followers after that ravaging debate on stage that the whole school witnessed. And of course, we now know why she was the new girl of the series (sorry to her friend lol), but yes because she's here to set things straight. That is, if she joins the Student Council. Hey, it was a long and rough run, guys. Now let's get back to the jokes and see how she can ruin the lives of the other four in the room haha and I tell you, I want to see things happen I WANT TO SEE HAPPINESS TAKEN AWAY FROM SHINOMIYA KAGUYA haha not the hair taken away from Shirogane though please don't
[I'm putting more of Miko-chan screenshots in view of her last... episode lmao]
Literally me every time I stand on stage and that's why I quit drama club
Goddamn can we talk about her contributions to the school thus far? lol
P.S. "She would have self-destructed if she was left alone" Haha Kaguya you are not wrong but hey, pays to be the good guy now, you know.
P.P.S. "Shaved heads are more cool" Haha that's joke of the episode right there haha Miko-chan didn't know you're into baldies lmao "I don't care about your fetish!" *laughs* "We have a hashtag trending on Instagram" lol
[Miko-chan would make a GREAT WIFE by the way she do the cleaning chores so well I can't even]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
So this week, and probably our busiest week ever in Klassic Note, we have a couple more releases to listen despite the delays here and there and Collection Artists not coming up with new songs lol. However, SPECIAL OTHERS' new album delivers some promise that their style didn't fade off, but I would argue them now is really between past them and acoustic them which probably made them more mellow and softer than they should be. Remember "PB"?? Yeah, those were the days. Waki Azumi's new single is determined by me to release digitally this week despite the physical release delay to next month, so I'm giving the one song first since... even with 4 tracks she can't hit me with another one. No, not even the one which is literally techno don't do this to me I don't like that haha. Lastly, LuckLife's new single is... meh, to be frank. But I can give the topic song, to say the least. Compared to their mini-album last year due to their shift in music label, this is far from that level, I would argue. Well, something better next time, guys? I really want to see a new them in this band.

In news all around Twitter mainly, Amamiya Sora is releasing a new album by the end of the year (so yay?) (I swear this should have been earlier since that single in January but you know, pandemic), VELTPUNCH's new music video and also 2nd in the new music video series up to their new album is not as great as the first, Ryokuoushoku Shakai released part of their live performance last night which I haven't watched yet since you know, things haha (that or I can wait for the second half to watch it together) (ah, available until next week), SCANDAL has a new song coming next month, TrySail celebrated their 5th anniversary with a special YouTube video which you can see online (they, uh, sang their debut song at their homes), and vivid undress' upcoming mini-album has been delayed from June to August. What did I say about the delays, eh? Haha I'm getting tired I need more music as fuel man stop pushing them backwards dammit

Next week, I'll be giving flumpool's new album a listen mainly because of Anime "Kakushigoto", but we shall see if I can give more. I mean, they are a lot like BUMP of CHICKEN by my impression and those aren't exactly my style so let's see how far I can get. And maybe I'll remember/forget Numakura Manami's best album at some point haha




Okay, I'm done. The lightning is bad out there, I'm kind of sweating somehow from typing all this and I still haven't showered today my hair is real long and I need more sleep. I mean, I have stopped taking naps now? So that's a problem. *laughs* Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I need to be more excited for Anime every week, man. All I do is work and play Animal Crossing now I feel so dead inside haha okay maybe playing with this website is still entertaining compared to YouTube videos in the background lmao you should've noticed some changes when clicking on the labels and searching for posts. I'm done, and congrats on getting married, Mikakoshi. I... wish you happiness. *laughs* *smashes fist on table* I'm fine, this happened with Aki-chan already and it's about time she got married too... I mean, look at Kana-chan. *silence* Haha bye

Sunday 10 May 2020

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #19

Haha guess what my passion project is this weekend? It's about Anime! Yay FINALLY lol

Anyways, will update on how I will present my Anime List in a more informative manner (hopefully not with more opinions because I don't want to assert my bias to you all), but hey, this season's Anime will be included as well. And I can tell you, after looking back the many years of Anime I have given? These three below are WAY better than most of the shows I have given over the past decade GOD Glasslip was such trash I can't even

Okay, sh*t Anime aside, let's settle for some good laughs! Okay maybe not Yesterday wo Utatte I can't laugh at anyone else other than myself BOOM GOT ME haha




アニメ Kakushigoto
"I felt bad, so I put them (school bags) both on" Haha Hime-chan please grow up to be a nice girl don't get corrupted by anyone or anything else please
Welcome to the world of kindness, everyone. Where I'm also given the privilege to talk about how awesome this Anime is every week haha okay it's pretty good in their defence. In this lovely new episode (#Kakushigoto06) where we try not to lie to ourselves of harsh reality lol #CorporateSlaves, someone sent Hime-chan a schoolbag. So firstly, whoever this person is who has been sending schoolbags to her every year. Of course the one the father gave her is the best, so they just end up keeping them, but it's obviously more than that. So turns out, spoiler alert, a man in a limo pulled up to talk to him about the bags, and also remind him about his secret to his daughter, and left. So, if you need any guesses, we might see a lot more about the family of Gotoh in future episodes maybe that Hime-chan may still not know of. Like, for example, her grandparents. Moving on!! Next, is the world of kindness. Well, I'm not going to talk about how nice a world of kindness would be, but kind of like Kakushi I'm glad to be able to get a job that I would prefer that is NOT my university major which is still willing to hire me all these couple of years without trying to sh*t on me and still gave me a pay raise. Real grateful, to everything. So yeah, it's a lot harder for a manga artist, that's for sure, because once you lose popularity even because of your one famous work, you're done. You'll never come back, unlike some exceptions. Still, as a consequence of this, Kakushi ended up accepting his first signing event. And of course in all coincidences, it's also the day he is bringing out Hime-chan to play in a theme park. Well, it's one of those kid experience theme parks so the parents don't get to join, but hey, this makes this a lot more convenient. But that kind of also means he didn't get to watch Hime do all the job cosplay (lol she be doing it better than the father haha kawaii) which I hope there is recorded footage for him to keep (maybe), but that also means he can deal with the signing in which its location is just within the same mall building. I like how the author then touches on the "I don't believe I'm that famous for anyone to come" type of character but obviously, considering his manga sells like hotcakes, there are of course, hired genuine fans who come to get his signed autograph. I guess I'll never get the purpose of fanatics behind all this just because, but suffice it to say he was able to juggle both of them well. Almost got found out, but you know, Hime-chan doesn't recognise the father in his manga author cosplay haha. In the end, Hime-chan liked the bookstore job the most (no seriously Hime, go watch Denki-gai or Honda-san and tell me again) (although I would argue a "Maru Maru no Hime-chan" would be way awesome of a sequel lol), and the father got away with it once again. Hey, for someone whose objective is to totally not allow the daughter to know his job isn't... a stable job, for starters, this is as much as he can avoid it being a total disaster haha. And... reverse flashback!! I swear if you didn't even weep at that last part you are not human. *laughs* Today Hime-chan found the new boxes dated her current age probably. Not like we know of what her world is now (for example, does she even know of manga, and is she a fan?), but I guess considering she can understand the manga itself makes you wonder at what point they will reveal the father's job thing, or if the father is even around anymore. Hey, in case you were wondering, now is a good time to think about it. Cya guys next week.
[Hime-chan galore because why not!!! Hehe]
This is so cute I can't even
(Shoutout to all the deliverymen and front line workers out there now)
This genuinely makes me sad, really.
P.S. "Vendor specific illustration cards" I feel bad for the authors already and that's why you don't see them drawing shop bonuses for like, 20 stores unless you're as popular as Kakushi here haha
P.P.S. "Watching one of the little girls! She's going to think I'm some creep!" Haha I mean, for the place where parents get to watch kids, she can only suspect you are watching other people's kids and thinking they are cuter than your own lol
[I FREAKING SWEAR they cast Sakura Ayane for this Anime because she can do the man voice on all the tsukkomi haha like really go watch every other Anime with her as a boyish character]

アニメ Yesterday wo Utatte
"It's something I don't want to remember" YES new character haha I know Rikuo was in a harem all along lol
CRT TELEVISION??!! WHAT YEAR IS THIS?? *laughs* (Hint: It's around the 90s) Okay, jokes aside which will end up revealing my age lmao (Go to the "Wanted List" page if you want to know), in this new episode of I didn't realise this was actually a harem (#YesterdayWoUtatte06) it's... basically a homeless girl who comes back to find her ex. *laughs* But like seriously, you can stay if you dye your hair black; that's my only condition haha. So, cue new character which also Rikuo dated for four months, Chika-chan. (Edit: Ah, voiced by KitaEri. No wonder I didn't recognise this super familiar voice since I watched "WORKING!!") (To know if it's her notice her distinguishable nasal tone in her natural speech) She's... just as passer-by for this series, I suppose, like the one last week. Everything ended in this episode of her, I mean. So, how another woman appeared in Rikuo's life a woman ended up in Rikuo's place. *laughs* Cue Chika-chan; a freaking genius at high school, someone who just lost her way in life and begged nice guy Rikuo to take her in until she gets paid and can pay off her rent, and... it's his ex. Yeah, shit's gotten real now, yes? Within this love rectangle which is of course temporary, orange-haired girl takes herself real comfortably in his care (just the shelter) while literally giving misunderstandings to the other two main girls in the series just by being at his place haha. Aw man, isn't this the best of such romance drama haha the author knows. So, how they found out. Rikuo was down with a fever again (Chika-chan getting laid again GIF coming right up!! Haha) and... you know, kind woman Shinako and current gf Haru-chan (lol) of course, went to visit him once they hear he wasn't working at the convenience store but of course, is surprised at seeing another woman at his place. I mean, for anything, this is only going to spawn misunderstandings, so here we go, I guess. *laughs* Haru-chan is obviously mad at someone that is not her at his place, and Shinako... she is taking it real well haha. (I swear that nomikai is literally the production sh*tting on Kana-chan right now lol) (I wonder though, if she ever) (haha) Anyways, Focus here, surprisingly, is on Shinako because what can Haru-chan do anything about this lmao. So, as you can see, Shinako is clearly somewhat jealous or pissed that someone is living with Rikuo somehow. Don't ask me why, he got rejected already anyways, so what's with the leftover feelings I don't know, but we now do know that... you know, she hasn't gotten over him yet. Maybe. *laughs* Thanks to Chika-chan knowing people well, she takes her next available opportunity to (1) explain to Shinako that she's just a freeloader who is taking advantage of Rikuo (not in a sexual way lol) and his kindness to tide things over, and (2) leaves as soon as she gets paid so to avoid more misunderstanding in what is a love triangle in Rikuo's love life right now haha. Hey, if I'm Chika-chan I'll also take a smoke and make a run for it lmao. Anyways, wonderful episode which probably doesn't matter, though I would say that it has some effect on Shinako, no joke. What will it make of Rikuo's already sophisticated love life? We shall see for it ourselves soon. Haha really, didn't expect his love life to be this exciting tbh didn't regret watching this show
Sadly not a fan of orange hair so sorry Chika-chan haha
TFW they realise you're still a virgin at 30 lmao BOOM
(That abbreviation is called "those faces when" instead haha)
P.S. "There's the girl who you have a crush on, there's Haru-chan, and now you have your ex" This show in a nutshell haha Rikuo is getting ALL the pussy- "Why are you enjoying this so much?" "Because it's not my problem" YEAH BOI!!! *high fives Kinoshita*
P.P.S. "What if I have one (girlfriend)?" "You don't. I can tell from the way your (Rikuo's) room looks" BOOM GOT HIM haha
It's just a fever DAMMIT haha but man they forgot the panting ('cos fever haha)

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?
"Everything is different (about Shirogane)!!" lmao what happened to you bro
Hey if you need to know if you're watching Anime at 60 frames or 30 frames per second go look at Kaguya blinking her eyes that's a good benchmark haha. Okay, they are really cramming a lot of plot in every episode, so let's talk about all of them, shall we? In this new episode (#KaguyaSamaS205), we talk about the days leading up to the Student Council election because Kaguya wanted Shirogane in for some reason hehe. Firstly, Shirogane without the President role. He looks dapper, somehow haha, but also, it just became a real turn-off to Kaguya, in a nutshell. *laughs* I mean, it's totally going to be real different if Shirogane turns normal and never has to deal with Student Council stuff anymore (almost like a boys love Anime lmao) but we're not here for that, and also Kaguya is getting worried, so she asks someone for advice. Nope, not Hayasaka because that's her love rival lol, but Kashiwagi. Hey, the advice thing gotta turn around somehow, and here we are. This is probably the most screen time we will have of that cute girl, so I hope you've enjoyed it to the most like I did haha Mocho~!! *laughs* Ahem, coming back, surprisingly Kashiwagi is a lot more smarter in EQ than this rich kids' nerd (lol), so she offers the best advice possible even though she knew that Kaguya still likes Shirogane Kaguya's friend's affection towards that other guy is true love lol even with the image change. And add in the reality checks of Chika-chan and Ishigami (man bro what do you know you virgin haha) and things got real complicated as Kashiwagi tries not to let others take a dump on that main girl's feelings and ruin this series lol, and in the end we realised that Kaguya might really like Shirogane when he's overpowered and serious instead of his relaxed self now haha. I don't know man, but seriously, Shirogane not being President of the Student Council feels weird to some extent, I would argue. Next up, this is not a "TARI TARI" series by the way, but "Shirogane wants to sing" is on the title it seems. And just like volleyball... he sucks at it. I mean Chika-chan, you could've just tested him before agreeing to ruin your reputation as a musical genius in front of him at least? *laughs* But seriously though, Chika-chan training part deux!! *laughs* She did it though, probably, to a lesser extent in effort compared to the previous time I hope, but man do the lyrics of the school anthem hit her so hard she burst into tears whilst conducting the school cohort to the song. I can feel you, Chika-chan, I really do. Throwback to the past where I also didn't realise I was singing badly but thank goodness I realised it myself before like, 11 or 12? Yeah, and also around the time I started realising the music around me was trash (suck on this, C-Pop) (haha) so maybe yeah, people do change. For the gorilla voice that is Shirogane... boy am I glad if this is going to make it into the soundtrack. The properly sung version, that is. *laughs* But man, must every other Anime base their school anthem on a success story? I know way too many of such examples to talk about already so I'm not going into that haha. Lastly, tackling the candidates for the upcoming Student Council elections. Wow, this one. We know Kaguya is real good at manipulating people as with the third guy trying to run for elections, but man, did she have a hard time dealing with Iino Miko, who has practically no way to attack her due to her pureness, but also, practically no chance of winning because you know, we got the perfect couple to win the elections. *sees Kaguya embarrassed* Anyways (haha), we see an intense battle of wits here since the first episode of the series tbh (I mean, after that it's mostly indirect flirting lol), but once Kaguya realised what she's up to, she... she got scared of her haha Miko-chan might have gotten Kaguya with the "you two should get together" shtick and I SERIOUSLY don't want to see the former become the Student Council honestly it would suck lol no ichaicha?? I'm not watching then this show sucks haha let's see if it is or not next week because it's ELECTION DAY BOYS guess who will win wrong answers only I say Trump lmao bye
WTF is this, a boys love Anime?? I'm out haha
I didn't cry when I hear this the second time but she did haha
(I guess they made this story shorter because they know Chika-chan can do it lol)
P.S. "Why are you so far away from me?" lol I swear the subs put the social distancing phrase as a joke haha
P.P.S. "I'm sure it's still true love!" "I said it" lmao Kashiwagi MVP this episode I promise you haha Mocho giving love advice I can't even "Don't let my embarrassment go to waste" lol
[I legit don't know what GIFs to make because I can just clip the whole episode haha]
Okay gotta admit that this is cute hehe
This chain of reactions from Kashiwagi is the best stuff I've seen this far lmao
(large file size alert) (well I guess you'll know when the page loads)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week's main focus on Klassic Note is still on THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new album as I try not to give more songs from MOSHIMO's album I told to review last week but then again I didn't give anymore because I swear if I give another I'll hear more rap calls coming my way haha. We're close to giving some SHISHAMO though I would argue, but I'm not in the mood for them because... SPECIAL OTHERS haha that's for next week btw

On news on Twitter and Instagram because where else can you promote your artists and/or works now, nano.RIPE is playing Animal Crossing on their YouTube channel (ugh) (wrong audience, people), uh... I guess there's more of Scenarioart's live performances on YouTube if you missed that, many more have appeared on Instagram just to regain attention at these rough times, and tacica's new single will be reviewed next month because thanks to YouTube I gave them another chance. So yeah, "tashika" as it should be pronounced... count yourself lucky haha

So for next week, we're going on a journey yet again, on SPECIAL OTHERS' new album and man, have I prepared for it by listening to the previews for the album on YouTube and... I see some prospective good ones hehe. Don't worry, I'll end up giving half the album anyways like I always do haha. And anything else if I can find more considering many are postponing even their digital releases to the next two months. Well, at least June and July will be packed with new songs haha yay me. Oh also, probably will try to give LuckLife's new single a chance too, seeing it came out this week and I totally forgot about them especially when they keep asking on Twitter via polls when it's coming out I don't know man just tell me lol




Well, I guess that's it then. I know it's not much on the Klassic Note portion but hey, I'm lazy to go find new songs anyway so I just do the occasional YouTube recommendations view like everyone else does now which I must say, is not what Klassic Note is about. I actively find songs to listen to tbh, but just that now... you know, I listen to myself work more than listen to music with all these stay at home stuff going on so... it's not that easy haha. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I'm using my brain to do that many other third-party developers have come up with for like, Javascript libraries so I have a feeling I'm exercising my brain too hard haha but I can argue that I'm doing custom stuff but then again if I want it to be re-usable... haha bye

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #18

Well, that's what happens when you screw around with system access right settings in Windows 10 haha

Okay, long story short, because I wanted to skip the admin confirmations when transferring files or reading from the system drive off my files, I decided to overwrite all the user access right settings so I can use the root folder for my own purposes. That did not go well lol. Over the last 12 hours I've been testing all sorts of methods to try to recover it back but ended up with a more broken Microsoft Store (lol is that even a bad thing) to the extent that I can't open my start menu and touching anything will prompt a system error. The other half of the time is figuring out why the heck I can get a fresh system image from online through official means ie. Microsoft themselves but my sis can do it with her PC WTF haha haiz I'm tired so we shall rush through this I'm sorry for shorter reviews this week but we got so much good sh*t this week on Anime though.

...

Miyu-chan!!~ Okay that's a JoshiMuda livestream joke that NO ONE will get haha just google it it's somewhere on YouTube where I saw it the sensei's voice actor was being creepy not me




アニメ Kakushigoto
"You have to do your duty when it's your turn" lmao Kakushi this is just Hime shitting on you
What I've learnt from this episode is that we need a change of editor for Kakushi haha this guy is very close to an idiot lol. In this new episode (#Kakushigoto05) we learnt that you have to gather five silver medals to be better than the one having the gold medal in the Olympics haha Hime-chan's innocence needs to be protected. Okay, that idiot editor. *laughs* The funny thing actually in this episode is clearly that, along the way, you'll realise he's not the newbie. Kakushi is. *laughs* Let's talk about it. Firstly, Kakushi takes on a role of a judge for an indie manga festival. You know, the place where you ruin many children's dreams haha I assume he hasn't ruined Hime-chan's but still. He initially rejected it because he know it sucks, but yeah Hime might still be right it's also kind of to make his name out there anyways, only to realise Tomaruin (thanks to Kakushi I remember this idiot's name now) (FYI the last time I used this word was in Anime "Aho Girl" lol) added a joking end to every comment on his judgement, literally throwing his reputaation to the gates of hell. After asking why he did it, he then revealed that he's also doing a duty like how Kakushi is for being a judge to show face in the industry, but his is in the editor industry, doing his job of taking care of Kakushi himself. I guess since no one really wants to do this, they normally push the newbie to him, and this is normally what happens but you know, this one is dumber haha. Next, rushing again for deadlines. Well, Tomaruin can explain this but, you know, last minute rejections of manuscript for printing is often a common case in the manga industry I believe. So yeah, Kakushi has to pull an all-nighter himself. Well, not really himself since his team has been called in some way into the bathrobe party (lol we're only interested in Rasuna-chan, boys) in the hotel while leaving Hime-chan... well exhausted, I would assume haha. That idol left her house due to a quarrel to stay at her place (imagine if Kakushi didn't have to do overtime lol), Nadila was contacted by the master only to be rejected by her next client so she went back to accompany Hime-chan, and they had a birthday party. So yeah Kakushi, if you kept your mouth shut and locked the door your daughter may have slept a good night alone lmao. Lastly, since they have to talk about the single parent thing, the gold medal. I would love to give Kakushi an Aqua Timez song to congratulate him for his contributions to his daughter's growth, but I guess she knows how to give back her thanks to the dad she thinks is the best way possible. Hey, I didn't even do that so good for you, Kakushi. And this brings us out of the flashback and into grown up Hime, because she recognised the handwriting on the boxes after 17 years old, we now know these are from the father. Man, the dad's not dead yet right? lol I feel like this show is so dark in reality I can't even. But seriously, we know the dad can only give her not erotic manga to read anyways lol I'm not going to make any hentai jokes and don't you care put a "jk" thing at the end you hear me?? Geez haha
This is as erotic this Anime will get we won't get the manga in the manga content ever
On a scale of 1 to 10 how wrong is this? lol they are father and daughter bro
P.S. "You can do things other than erasing?" That's literally my boss being impressed when he thinks I'm doing a good job because that's my job scope lol
P.P.S. "One entry per box? What is this, Amazon?" Eh, sorry but I don't get this joke lol must be a Japan thing but I order from Japan before though haha (I guess they are talking about generosity in packaging because they can pack little but still charge little to nothing on shipping)

アニメ Yesterday wo Utatte
"And he's kind of cool too" Then Haru-chan go date him then. *laughs*
Okay if you think this new guy has no relation to any of them, you haven't watched romance Anime before haha. In this new episode (#YesterdayWoUtatte05) hey we have a new guy, he's called Minato. And since Rikuo has to take on more part-time jobs even stuff that he doesn't get like managing an art gallery, he still has to do it, I guess. Not everyone has a stable job like being a teacher in a high school. *looks at Shinako* So, cue new guy, still in college, around the same year as Haru-chan since they were classmates before she dropped out lol, but yeah, and has a crush on her. Hey, if you took this long to realise, go watch another Anime haha. Why the sudden entrance though? Then you gotta watch to find out. But first, Rikuo's new part-time job in the museum. It's not like, the Louvre, but you know, you gotta at least recognise the differences between photos which he can't lol. Anyways, Minato submitted his application in the museum and is doing part-time too, but guess what, he knows Haru-chan. Again, for someone to know Haru-chan that well in high school considering she dropped out and it's a guy, it's hardly anything else but infatuation at some point, but hey, I watched the episode already so don't call me a genius haha. I mean, he even went as far as asking her where she works and camps at the cafe all night? Someone should've taken a hint haha not Haru-chan apparently. Hey, innocence is bliss, people. But you know, it's pissing someone off. *laughs* At this point, I can confidently say that Rikuo is going to see it go. This affection from Haru-chan. That is, IF he doesn't take it back like Yoru no Honki Dance does Minato does since I think he believes in a second opportunity like me. I mean, if I ever met them again and they aren't married (well, I know who are already lol) then... yeah, I might just do it. Or he'll just be the backup to Haru-chan just like how she is to Rikuo now haha GOT HER lmao. And that's how it ended, with a day together outdoors. He confessed to Haru's surprise, and of course she rejected it. More importantly, Minato is leaving the country to take a break off college ie. he dropped out too. Must be easy in life to drop out of anything, huh. *laughs* So, what do you think, guys? Did this Anime hit you yet? It's amicable, it's peaceful, there's romance but it's mild... you think this works? To be honest though? This Anime works for me so far, and I like it. Mainly fuelled by Haru-chan's cuteness lol, but you know, the plots are also pretty direct. Say even for this episode, we have a guy that comes and goes. Even this, it's as subtle as it gets, and we get even get pissed off Rikuo in return lol. Can't wait to see what's next. But yeah, Rikuo is itching. I can feel it. Haha cya next week.
More Haru-chan because she is kawaii hehe
(Don't look at the manga artwork you have been warned)
I saw this and I'm like "am I in the wrong Anime or what" lol
P.S. "Why is he with Haru?" Haha Rikuo is CLEARLY pissed lol that's a jealousy bro no seriously play that music video in the background while watching this episode again
P.P.S. "He's also not a coffee lover; he puts lots of milk and sugar" Just like coffee, it's only the bitterness one tastes in order to reflect its own state of life. Haha quote me on that but the manager of the cafe is really right if you a coffee lover you don't put that much sweetness and forget about the coffee taste

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?
"..it'll be like a confession to President" I mean, you already did it last week how hard is it to do it again? lol
Haha Kaguya is going to cry by the end of this series from people fighting over Shirogane wait is she even trying? *laughs* Oh well. In this new episode (#KaguyaSamaS204) we have competition. I mean, Hayasaka might be the least of her worries, 'cos we have a new girl in town. In school, I mean. And she's been there for a while I guess; it's high school anyways there's three years and she's been in two. Firstly, Hayasaka. But seriously, she is pissing me off right now. *laughs* Go be your calm collected, own the whole Shinomiya bath type of woman or something. *laughs* So, since Kaguya challenged her butler to go date who she likes... again, we know she regretted it already even before she said it, but you know, the pride thing we've seen since the very first episode of season 1, haha. And thus, Harcasa advances on Shirogane on her supposed day off. And to not put quotes on all the "lies" she said, apparently she's just trying to point out as many things as possible so Shirogane can spend an afternoon with her alone... while Kaguya is watching lol. Hey, what else you gonna do on a Sunday afternoon? Fix your PC? *laughs* (Haiz Hayasaka I wish you could help me fix a PC up and not tell me to touch access right settings lol) It was a nice date lmao, and technically Harcasa did confess to Shirogane, but yeah, obviously this isn't even a first date and they "barely knew each other", so yeah he just played the "I like someone" else like he always does haha I hope not always lol. In revenge though? Hayasaka blurted the heck out of Kaguya's business when Shirogane came to visit her in her class to ask to meet up after school round the back. Normally we know this is for a confession, but with a Student Council election coming up, it's definitely nothing but. And with the whole school physically watching the two after school and the rest on livestream (lmao), they kind of spoke in secret. Which surprisingly did not kill Shirogane's popularity and made it way more mysterious, which of course, helps him in his re-election after people think that that is actually a confession scene but clearly they don't even know about season 1 haha. So, to end this episode, and finally, we have the other new competitor who is in second place, and who will be fighting against Shirogane (hopefully, not for long hehe) in the next few episodes: it's Iino Miko. Surprisingly Ishigami knows her (lmao), and after this episode... yeah I think we know who she is now. This one is honestly tougher to crack than Kaguya-sama imo haha. But hey, we're not dating her; we're just trying to win the elections with her... tough... policies? Man, what is this, military school? *laughs* So yeah, turns out, with a Morals Committee background, Miko-chan is actually a real serious person who probably never takes breaks considering Shirogane's grades aren't as beautiful as hers (haha GOT HIM), but also might be too extreme as she tries to campaign back formality within school compounds. That is not going to get you votes, girl. By experience you should know that confessing to Shirogane would give you a better chance at winning the election- Wait, did I just fortune tell this? Haha hope not but we shall see so next time around though! I wonder if Miko-chan resorts to dirty tactics like Hayasaka does haha really Hayasaka MVP every episode already what did I tell you
If you still wonder if there are any actual cute girls in this Anime...
If you still wonder if there are any actual cute girls in this Anime...
P.S. *points at chest as lie* Yeah I realised that much already haha but hey it could be real v1 of Hayasaca was in an obscure maid outfit after all haha
P.P.S. Okay legit thought Miko-chan would actually offer some sort of Student Council competition by you know, bring out the youth spirit in a new generation of students to pit against Shirogane but damn girl, "smartphones are not allowed" is a real no-no in this election, you know. *laughs*
[Because Kaguya got left out this episode let's give her a GIF!!!]
Anime is as such, always evolving in telling the same expression in different ways haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week on Klassic Note we have THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new album which really took a while to appear and thanks to not delaying the digital release too I'll count this one in first before its physical release in June as with many releases now I just hope May isn't nothing on the list tbh haha. The album... I guess once you get into it you'll give them, just like the couple of albums I've given of the years, and I think I ended up with all the topic songs somehow don't ask me why. Again, they aren't really great with their emotional songs so I ended up only giving that only one so "surely but slowly I can move on" haha. Thanks to Naobou's live performance premier on YouTube (see below), I also tried to give chance to her 1st single and... well, I'll decide on that next week haha. While going through some live footage from last year though (which is the cause of my PC going haywire) I did end up giving more songs in the form of MOSHIMO mainly because of the one song they sang to be honest, don't think I can last with that high pitched female vocalist and some premonition of speech more than singing in their music. We shall see, guys. I'll give an album a listen along with the song might as well.

On news concerning music from Twitter and beyond but mostly the former, Scenarioart released more live videos in hopes to get more Internet attention though I guess, miwa also did a FIRST TAKE video but it's her debut song which I did not give (lol), Kitou Akari's new music video preview is somehow dope because UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is doing composition and I CAN'T STOP giving that quirky yet impressive style, Touyama Nao's live video performances have premiered on YouTube for a limited time only I think for like a week if you want to watch (there's one right now which I'm giving a miss since I only gave her 1st album which aired on Wednesday),

So yeah, next week I guess I'll give MOSHIMO and their album in 2018 a chance I guess. Other than that... well I thought Naobou will give me a better impression of her music but hey, turns out like many it's only her voice that sells not the songs. Hey, idolism in music for you in a nutshell. According to my stats which I spent a good amount of time to do (now at Song of the day statistics, yep) it's consistently a third of idolism, half mainstream and the rest is Anime related, which are the only three main categories I came up with to summarise the songs I listen to in Klassic Note. Quite interesting, I would say, considering I said idolism music quality is on the rise with Minase Inori winning top rank from last year you would think the scales would topple by now. Well, depends on my definition anyways but I'll share on that someday soon enough. I intended to do that sort of stuff if not for my itchy hands, you know. *laughs*



(minachan stream) (and that is some late night anime, well as late as I can before I realise I have to work from home tomorrow and I can barely catch some sleep okay bye)

P.S. Why write an outro when you can don't? *laughs*
