The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #50

Once again, reminding you all to come back (if you have ever been here in the first place) and I'll update about Attack on Titan because they like to air on Sunday midnights and I like to sleep at that time haha so that's why I watch on Mondays especially when I have work leave tomorrow too haha YES

Also, "oops I did it again~" so be sure to see how much Kido Ibuki bromides I got on my recent Suruga-ya run lmao they are so fast and so cheap really makes you wonder what are they earning from selling these lol. Anyways, I'm already happy for not working on a Monday but real disappointed in my bulk purchases in that so-called 12.12 sale because the bad news is my new custom PC is only shipping a month later wtf the good news is the new IKEA desk top will be ready for it haha because that'll come next week. If you aren't buying desk tops (yes, the one board on your desk, not a full set computer) from IKEA let me tell you they can last as long as you don't try to karate chop them or put 20 CPUs on it because I don't. I just changed it because I heard several cracks in the course of this year so I'm getting worried lmao

Okay, buying spree over besides that package thing that will take ages to assemble but hey let's talk Anime shall we? Today was quite a long day of doing a lot of stuff so I could use more... laughs haha no really read on




アニメ GREAT PRETENDER
"I'm sure (Makoto) will pull some kind of shit out" Yeah Cynthia you're not wrong haha "What if Laurent pulls it?" Well about that...
Yeah, old b*tch, you like the coffee made by your not son Makoto? That be the last drink you having haha hey don't call out on me. In this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER22) where I hope all of you guys have your bulletproof vests ready, maybe we don't need them after all if it ends up being a stealth leader only kill. You know, then you can't do shit anymore, whichever side did it. Man, Makoto be sweeping in as the fake son of Suzaku so easily she wants him for her retirement haha. So, story. Seriously though, why am I scared of the outcome? Haha the backup(s) should be worried more than me I just watch the security cameras lol. Eh... I'm sure you're confused at the ending but we'll get there, I promise. So, as we have seen last episode, the two sides of mafia are prepared to negotiate a deal, or not because they made both sides offer cash as tribute to the other side, obviously as a ways for Laurent's team to sweep up on both sides at the same time, and yeah they did. Let's talk about what happened after the boring stuff was expected, because seriously, that's where it gets interesting haha. So, the China mafia fly to Japan, they got transported to some weird place via shortcut as specified by the driver (ah, I guess this is where it started), and "they arrived at Suzaku's place". You know, the tall skyscraper where she has all her tools ready to kill Liu. Well, on Liu's side he's prepared to poison the old woman too so I guess it's neutral. Just who dies first, right? WRONG. *laughs* As the China group came in, got their body searched because why wouldn't you check if the ring is a fake, they got let in, just the three of them, into the big room. At this point, I would like to "kindly remind you" that besides the six of them in the big room, we have some of Chen's men "downstairs", and the "fake police" led by Cynthia and the others are prepared to storm in, so you see, there is some expected and unexpected plot. And as the two sides hand over their money lol, the translators went silent. Because you know, how you gonna explain both sides are handing over money haha isn't this supposed to be a trade? I don't think people will want to trade money over money right? *laughs* (Depends on the exchange rate lmao) So firstly, the fake police stepped in. This one, led by Kudo and the others, stormed in with evidence of child trafficking (lol) and then stole everything valuable- Yep that sounds right haha. But of course, only Laurent and Makoto did not put their hands up after a while, so the two sides probably figured out who was betraying them already. But then, remember Cynthia talked about Makoto and his emotional nonsense? Cue part 3, I guess. Once per heist, remember? *laughs* This time around, he actually called upon Eddie (which I doubt so, so as I ponder, we'll know the truth soon) to bring his own team of gunmen and force Laurent's group to surrender. You know, so that he can protect his not mother, kill his dad along with wiping out the most famous international scam group we have ever seen in the history of Anime. Hey, did I just praise how good they were? Haha okay sorry then. Anyways, the money and cheque is on Japan mafia's side now, but uh, that's not over yet. "Laurent probably predicted Makoto betraying him" so as with people who have been betrayed, Makoto will be dealt with, probably making Suzaku sadder than Oz is to be honest (lol), and the fake police team then take action to deal with the opposing forces on stage. Okay, at this point you might have figured out what happened already, but it wasn't until the two mafia groups decide to leave the premises to avoid uh, whatever conflict there is inside...? Why is it so quiet? *laughs* Okay, now for the truth bomb. Realised how it's the ones being scammed together by themselves again? That's how you know the heist has ended. *laughs* So, to end this talk, speculation time. In case you didn't notice earlier like me, Liu was transported to not Suzaku's place. As with how Makoto's side did that, I guess it shouldn't be tough if he has enough control, but seriously, none of them have seasickness? THEY WERE TRANSPORTED TO AN ISLAND FOR GOD'S SAKE I would've figured this scam long ago lmao. *laughs* (Sorry I just can't) So that will explain a lot of things already, about how Chen cannot call upon his reinforcements because they were LITERALLY IN AN ISLAND WITH A FAKE SKYSCRAPER what the fuck ANYWAYS and that will bring us to the next point. (I guess Makoto can change Ishigami's card when he's drunk) Secondly, why Eddie is involved in this. What he said was probably true, proved innocent of his trials using money he had leftover because why would you give everything to scammers (lol), actually helped them put another layer to the drama in the big room by letting Makoto gain control of the situation. To be honest I don't see why this is necessary to scam two sides of mafia considering the first part is impressive enough, but maybe Makoto really wants to prove his point, as he talks about wining over Laurent on his revenge plan for Dorothy. Nonetheless, really makes me wonder why then, but I guess we'll know why soon. And lastly, why the plan's outcome was like this. You see, in order to deal with two mafia groups in the East... *laughs* You have to use some dire methods to make sure they cannot come after you again. Forever. *laughs* So yeah, I just didn't expect dumping them on an island was a possible manoeuvre, but they did it somehow, so good for you, guys. Maybe that's why Eddie is involved as he may the manpower to do this. How they got access to a remote island considering GPS coverage today, we may never know. But yeah, because now the two sides' leaders are basically uncontactable, maybe they can use this chance to really, wipe out both sides of the mafia. Even if these four were to be able to return back to mainland, they will probably find themselves with... nothing. Not even a stepson BOOM GOT HER. *laughs* All in all, man GREAT PRETENDER you have surpassed yourself once again, using tactics over tactics just to make sure two sides of mafia won't be able to get you, this is the ultimate cover to what, even those Grand Theft Auto heists which is nothing compared to this haha I'm tired 
[I like to believe that Eddie did actually get out of the scam, and wanted to ruin Laurent's group, so they counter offered him an actor's job in this better than Hollywood drama finale (lmao) so he can get a piece of the action. It's billions of dollars so it'll be worth it haha]
This episode in a nutshell haha like really man
Can confirm Liu is gay haha 这人娘炮了 lol
P.S. "Don't you want a real (cat)?" "Living things eventually die" YEAH NO SHIT Suzaku so will your son HA okay me
[If you went from "don't pull that lever" to "so this is a fake building offshore" to "so this is just a scaffolding" to "how did they end up on an island" you have enjoyed this episode because man WHERE IS THE CARPARK THEN??!! Haha I forgot about how bullshit is this series already]

アニメ Majou no Tabitabi
"Alright I don't look like a mage now" lol Elaina "I'm just an ordinary, beautiful woman" O~kay haha it's like me when I think I'm a normie having a gf
WHERE'S THE OPENING SERIOUSLY I MISS UEDA REINA-CHAN ALREADY Ah. *laughs* Okay I don't miss her but I foresee some rated stuff happening, and if you read some interview with the author (sorry, lost the link), you might be on something. In this new episode (#MajoTabi11) where Saya-chan if you would fly a little lower that would be ideal because we can't show panties here- Okay we know that's not the rated content this episode haha. So, I guess this is a continuation episode from where Sheila remembered what was in that box she gave Saya to deliver to the town they both were at long time ago? Yeah, seems like it. So I guess we will know what was in that box. Eh, turns out, it is indeed, the topic of our conversation, to why it might be rated content again. It's not what you think, I promise, but when you see a dog love a cat you'll start thinking haha. So, story. Saya was out delivering a box, but the Curio Company is back. Yeah, those guys that were supposed to be eliminated, I guess they weren't apprehended to any extent so... they went scot free? Haha, I have a harsh feeling the box was meant to solve the Association's problem or something, but we'll ignore that and move to the two. Saya was confronted by yes that leader, but in case they can't just steal the box remember they had access to magical tools? So yeah, it was a pair of pills, and when shot on two targets, will... start guessing now because, switch bodies with each other. So of course they had to make Elaina switch with Saya. Saya-Elaina now thinks she's seeing Elaina which is herself lol, and Elaina-Saya... almost got violated by her younger sister haha what. Would I call this the rated content though? Probably not so let's take it as they wanted to squeeze in more content to make this more complete an episode. So, the two probably figured out they they switched bodies but you know not like Saya-chan will care (lol) but just in case, they had to round all the bad guys up because of the box that was opened. Yes, the box was just filled with smoke made of love potions, as you can evidently see. (Man, imagine <insert whoever I like here> was there when Elaina-Saya opened that box haha) (*giggles*) The bad guys tell where their boss is because or else they will really die, the two went there to apprehend her but also know they had to deal with the chaos outside because despite the loving going on and them switched bodies having to last for another day (did Saya-Elaina finger herself for the night haha hey) (and then when they switched back Elaina was actually very tired for some reason lmao) (sshh you didn't learn these from me), and that's where Sheila and Fran had to appear. Remember last episode where Sheila had to rush to Saya because she predicted that box will be opened at some point? Surprisingly, none of this was explained in this episode though as to why this is necessary, and also how the Curio Company learnt of it. Nonetheless (the author did say a lot of stuff was left out for the adaptation so) we just move on to learn of the other truths, from Mina which was Saya's sister who left her alone trying to become a witch some time ago if you recall, to both Saya and Mina being Sheila's apprentices and it was also all because of her in the first place. Blah blah blah be independent and all, but don't ask me how Elaina just became someone's love rival lmao. All in all, quite a lot to absorb, but it kind of makes sense besides that box anyways so let's just see what's left to wrap up after that dialogue between Foula (okay Fran you can drop the book reference) and Elaina so let's assume Elaina will go back home for once. So far in this series I must say the least they have done is to make me touched. So we shall see about it, I guess.
Me when I thought I saw someone I know but it's not lol
This might be the worst of drawings in this series because either Mina has a wide forehead or
P.S. "Well I guess you can't help it because I'm so cute!" Okay Saya you trying to be an Elaina? *laughs* 
P.P.S. "Terribly dangerous, huh" Yeah no shit Saya you not see someone right below your floating broom? Catch that peepo please if I can't see them they can't too haha ah-
[Okay so TakaMina (Get it? Her name) was the one panting and wanting to do something with her sister? Wait, I gotta go back and listen to it again haha thanks Takanishiya for the introduction to this lovely woman]
I thought the tongue sticking out would be great but I don't want this site banned also not obvious enough this size so
This is going to replace my "let's change the subject" messages haha

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii
"Darling, for as smart as you are, sometimes you are very ignorant about certain knowledge" Yeah you're right Tsukasa your husbando can't recognise a takoyaki plate hey I can and I'm not even Japanese
You know it be a good episode ahead when half the whole of Chitose's face is in the camera lmao almost forgot her name btw. In this new episode  where you can never take a break being Chitose haha God I wished Koko-chan was privately like this (#ToniKawa11) so spoilers she's not she always does it for entertainment only btw (she be a drama actress before if I recall), I guess news doesn't travel fast in this series huh. *laughs* Ah by the way, we got a sponsor this week. This episode is sponsored by Street Fighter V- Some people might already assume this blog is already earning money without any ads here but I promise you. *laughs* So, how this dumb comedy series managed to fit a gaming tournament into an episode. *laughs* Can they just stop with the jokes I can't make this post too long you know haha. Okay I've taken a break from the nonsense let's just talk about story. It's literally just a party. *laughs* I guess we have to talk about how that happened, huh. Well, for starters, Chitose found out about the incident. You know, that someone's place got burnt down and the manager is building a replacement as we speak... she be looking at it, the not house haha. Tsukasa tries to lie through her teeth because that sister of hers be an annoying kid (lmao Koko-chan please no) but hey, they gotta bait her to not ask further or something. Eventually, she found all of them - Nasa-kun and every woman in the series - in the bathhouse lol did I mention this was a harem episode? I mean, harem series. *laughs* Anyways, the trio from the mansion stepped in, they found out of the truth, but you know, they would've left without an explanation of living in someone else's roof as usual especially Chitose, so they took a bath before having a sit-down. But they were enjoying the bathhouse so much, we sure they be leaving that 5/5 Star review on Yelp- Yeah they forgot what they were here for again lol this series. And then, because Nasa-kun dug through the old house by the bathhouse they were living in. They found game consoles you probably don't know of, and I agree gamer Tsukasa: we cannot live in a place without the Sega Mega Drive if you live in the USA or Sega Genesis if you live in Europe lol #90sConsoleProblems man you don't even know. (FYI I had one at my place given from my mom's friend, probably in the storeroom now; I played a lot of Golden Axe 2 and Bunny Adventures something haha) Okay jokes aside, because most importantly, Nasa-kun found a takoyaki plate, in case you also haven't seen one of those before where you live. (Japanese food be popular here so I see those and eat those often haha) And that's where Nasa-kun had an idea to have a party with everyone to, you know, stop thinking about him for a while lmao. But as you can guess, it's probably going to involve him considering they put him up as the prize and the winner can do whatever with him lmao I want him to die I'll join. *laughs* So they wiped up the PS* console up (lol), set up whatever Street Fighter game people play now because why would I play those fighting games, and it was a showdown between Chitose who wasn't even a competitor when you compare with the likes of pro gamer Tsukasa and professional game streamer and cosplay idol Uesaka Sumire Aya-chan lol can we not glorify them too much here. In revenge, Tsukasa let Aya play the first game of the (not sponsored) series, and... well Aya-chan learnt fast though so thank goodness I guess the final showdown was a tie so Nasa-kun was saved for now. *laughs* All in all, LITERALLY JUST A PARTY EPISODE I am not even joking right here and as entertaining as it is it's as if we forgot about everything and just watched an Anime filler episode I'm pretty sure it is but who cares now lmao. And I guess Tsukasa won since she got to redeem her prize from her husband lol. Again, this is funny but also totally lame af to watch I'm just like Chitose before she got bought in by the bath and the cooking and the video games lmao. If you need an Anime-watching experience equivalent, for me it's tsukkomi and this fabulous cast I can't even. *laughs* So to end the series... They are ending the series with someone falling sick? Okay haha cya guys for the final episode then.
[TL:DR; Consider yourself a video game pro if you know how to win at Minesweeper because many youngsters today don't. I'm not one of them haha *sob*]
In case you're into loli I got you covered unlike her haha
Hey new shocked GIF I guess haha
P.S. "Chitose was relieved to find out (Nasa-kun) was unharmed. Little did she realise these were the first strings of her love (to him)" Haha who's narrating this bullshit?? lol it's the maid
P.P.S. "Where did you get the idea (of a takoyaki party)" From the author?? Haha hey a gentle reminder that he wrote that "Hayate no Gotoku" series for nearly a decade before this HE is the Showa Era lmao
This colour combination is not a coincidence, I promise you
Chitose is such a perfect tsukkomi it never gets old when she has to point out the facts haha

Update 2020.12.14: Happy birthday sis!! But unfortunately she doesn't watch this series anyways so I'll just do it for her haha lol
アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
"I'll probably die before I know the real reason" Well alternatively, those who know are probably already dead dead so
Well, I already got the spoilers from the many articles online, but yes, now ex-beast Titan Zeke knows of the founding Titan powers, works for Marley, and... is Eren's brother. Now you know too. In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan61) where they think they can drop this fact on me so I'll go nuts thinking about how is this possible instead of fighting the Marleys who are still gaining an advantage using Titan powers, and to also, appease its people of their military position in the world. So, now that you know the summary, let's talk detail. And man, we need a lot of context from previous seasons on this one. Firstly, after that small war fighting we saw last week. Gabi was celebrated as a true hero to have saved 800 of her own people, Reiner is still thankful for not dying in that one fort of a war somehow. Galliard, which we did see fight alongside the Armoured Titan which we know who it is now of course, was the one who took Ymir's powers. Ymir, as you could recall, was a friend of Historia, but also chose to protect her using her Titan powers instead of harm her, though the latter was supposed to be the plan. RIP Ymir, I guess- Okay she just returned the powers of the Jaw Titan. So yeah, a lot happened in between when the two spies (or more to be honest) had left and returned to Marley, their supposed home country. As you might have recalled and we might need a little history lesson here, Eldians were superior because of Titan powers for a while, but a faction of them including royalty with the founding Titan powers left for an island to "protect the Eldian race" if I didn't remember wrongly, but in revenge the rest of the Eldians decide to fall on (or be forced on) Marley's military powers at that time, thus the split. Then, we have to talk about the loyalty of Eldians in the Marley state. I mean, if it's not obvious enough, and if this doesn't remind you of the third Reich, you might not have seen enough of history lessons haha. Anyways, these Titan humans do not have their own power anymore, as they work and slave under the lords who are Marley humans, so sometimes it's an issue if people start to waver in times of war. Like how two Titans almost lost in that one battle last week. So you see, there comes the problem of questioning... well, anything in this series to be honest. Like how inheriting Titan powers immediately reduces your life expectancy (refer to Season 3 for this thanks) but then you gain the honour of inheriting it for your fellow Eldians but maybe not because Gabi could be a good housewife lmao. Okay, that future doesn't exist so might as well die a Titan haha. But hey, someone can take her place before she gets it. Will that happen though? Probably not Gabi might just die before I do haha. Lastly, and I'm keeping this real short already, their plan going ahead. Well, Marleys' plans going ahead. Since they literally can listen in to their conversations you should know who on who, it's no surprise that loyalty becomes quite important even if it means killing yourself fighting in war using Titan powers or whatever. But as Zeke has already pointed out seasons ago, they have to get the founding Titan powers to regain supreme power and control of the Titan race, maybe also crush Marleys then while they can but again, on the surface it is to buy time so Marleys can improve their military prowess, but seriously though where are those Titans which can fly haha okay me. All in all, very information heavy episode, and we might get a couple more before the real confrontation happens, and going by Reiner's dictation of the people he met when he went there when he was 12... He might be out next liability. The rest wouldn't though, and that would suck because we could use more drama pivot points lol, but we shall see. In my opinion though? I'm just expecting that flip where the Eldians in Marley do get to take over the ones in that island, and then turn it on the world. Maybe that'll be the best ending. If you liked Eren to live I'm afraid to tell you that he'll probably not be living long anyways, but yeah, he'll live. The rest would probably be burnt to death for betraying the rest of the Eldian race lmao bye
[TL:DR; Eccentric yet well-written worldview, don't you think?]
Man, I hope this scene and Reiner describing all of them to the family triggers somebody haha not me though
Man, I hope this scene and Reiner describing all of them to the family triggers somebody haha not me though
P.S. I think you may have noticed it but what is with this fake forced perspective animation they were trying to pull? It's making me sick haha
P.P.S. "If only those island demons would disappear forever.." Wait, what? *laughs* You don't mean Marleys? *laughs* (Yes they were referring to Eren and the others, as described by Reiner)

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week was not much of a week, but we did get a couple of songs out of it. yanaginagi's new album is... mostly pop like her previous albums, but maybe this one might have too much of not her compositions, so I'm just giving them as I go. Already on one and trying to give another. Both of them are not topic songs though like that music video she released online recently after it released. Trust me listening to her all these years: her voice being unexpectedly cute is her selling point. Just listen to her recent live video and you'll get what I mean. I also took some time to realise I should have given Spira Spica's new single because besides me listening to their album released earlier in the year like a couple of months ago, this single is also unexpectedly good, so I'm trying to forgive some melody flaws so I can actually credit them for something this year maybe.

On news concerning music on Twitter because that's all I care instead of my friends talking about memes, freaking deja vu when I heard that one cover song by various female voice actors because ClariS covered that before and I guess it's a classic and also good, Sangatsu no Phantasia is doing a Christmas acoustic live yes for free on YouTube so yay, SHE's new single is out next month and so far from the drama preview... it's not that great haha, Waki Azumi is releasing her first full album in February and when I say that I meant TEN NEW SONGS by the way with no single references and it's a real joke because the same music label invested so much on her by also releasing a new lyric video which is animated by the way instead of Kouno Marika's solo music debut in which her first single is releasing in the following week which also means finally she got her music debut like seriously it took so long, and Natsukawa Shiina's new song which is also available on early full preview (just the topic song) is a real meh considering who wrote it I expected more.

So next week, yes I am going to listen to Polkadot Stingray's new album which is mostly just whatever they sing in digital singles over this year, and trust me, I can still give them more songs haha. We just have to see how many by next week.




I'm done for the week. Okay, besides Attack on Titan which I promise I'll update tomorrow morning after enjoying breakfast like how I do over the weekends normally: Starbucks. Come on, I'm not the only one who likes to spend money on buying super expensive coffee even though we know we can just buy cheap shit at home and it won't make a difference haha that Mac and Cheese pie was GREAT lol okay. Cya guys next week then, and until then... well at least I've got a 4-day work week next week hey thank goodness they didn't remove my leave so that they can rush up some tasks to be able to answer to the client in their meeting on Tuesday morning haha hey don't blame me

P.S. Now that the calendar in my GitHub Page supports multiple series of birthdays, I've included besides female voice actresses, two games I've played with their characters so I can track them and know when to watch their birthday videos first before I sleep lol it's more than just that I promise you

The Pandemic Upturn Shopping Spree 2020 Edition: The Cheaper Option Part 2

*long sigh*

*shakes head*

*giggles*

Hey, I've got to go out with my friends which is a gathering in a while so let's just do a short one here.

Well, I promised myself the last time I did this, and I don't think I should anymore. Moreover, I don't even think I want to do posts like this again, just to show off what I have bought. Because seriously? I really just intended to do this at the end of tomorrow's Entertainment News and be done with it, but I guess I'll add a little more about what it is about... how to say, what it might feel like sweeping these up living in Japan. Trust me, those guys were trading bromides like they do Pokémon cards, and I don't even play those lmao ugh




Yeah, let's see it guys, I guess. UNBOXING!!! Haha gotcha

Must it always come in such a big box? Do they even know...

... it's only this much? And shipping can still be a flat rate? How are they earning money lol
(Oh, from people like me haha)

Yay Yocchan!! Not the nicest vase out there but I still like this now married woman

This is how you know this has been sold in not Suruga-ya before and re-sold again after it was bought
(FYI this one is 250yen, good deal here)

Another set of evidence placed inside the photo that this has been sold somewhere else before lol for FIFTY YEN?!!
(FYI this one, 300) (Dammit haha)

Shoutout to uh... "Mitsuyama Tomoyuki" and "Matsuoka Junpei" for contributing to my Naobou collection lol
(Probably fake names just like my name)

As you can see, and I'll not put the receipt up here again since I see no point, it's mostly because I saw a full listing of bromides from dear dear adorable lovingly cute Ibuki-chan (hehe), and tell me if I can resist to not buy her re-released photobook special bromides from that photobook I reviewed last year lol. So yeah, mostly that, and I caught up on certain trends like Marinka and my dear imouto Nan-chan on her recent appearance in magazine Seiyuu Grand Prix which... hey you didn't hear it wrong, I did buy it but not on physical, and I didn't intend to tell anyone about it. Well, besides my bro that's just for bragging rights lmao
To summarise, going down my list instead of the image above that will be (yes I like to make fun at their auto translations) 1 from Aoi Koga (Kohara Konomi mentioned about it before in her Instagram so yes I got lucky finding it), 2 from Marika Takano [Kouno Marika], 2 from Yoko Higasaki [Hikasa Youko] because I just want some symbolism from her lovely self back in the days for remembrance (lol she's not dead yet but she is married which is close), a colossal 10 from 木戸衣吹 [Kido Ibuki] because I think it's not listed in the international site since I saw this initially on the Japanese site which I suspect will also be purchasable here which is why this package, 1 from Rumi Okubo and 和氣あず未 [Wak Azumi] because Ookubo Rumi bromides are a rarity so I want them lol also Ajuju because they be so popular it was a miracle to spot this, 3 from Nao Higashiyama [Touyama Nao] because I've been thinking of her since I got that pamphlet, 1 from Rika Tachibana and finally 2 from 夏川椎菜 for the same reasons as 木戸衣吹 because they share many similarities like their overbearing cuteness and not actually listed in the international site, mostly the former hehe

Note: Searching from the Japanese site (which is now revamped thank goodness) and then using the item code (which generally in the format "GGxxxx" where x represents a number) to search in the international site. If you can understand some Japanese and found differences in stock then this is a reliable way to get stuff you missed until they fix that problem I guess.

On average this set is actually more expensive than the first time we shopped in Suruga-ya's international store despite the fixed rates of shipping and service charge: (1) Rika-sama be real expensive to buy bromides and will probably not drop because as you might have known they revived her fanclub which was closed due to her marriage announcement as things always do so you wonder why, and (2) I wanted to pad some Naobou bromides but they are also not cheap, but not as crazy as Rika-sama. But hey, Naobou, take this as compensation for buying your anniversary photobook even though I could've just seen it online by now with people loving you so much they have to share it with others haha. Another thing to note, that this order number of mine is 61122, compared to the last time I did it, which was 49037. They have been doing good business somehow hopefully not just people buying photos lmao they sell figurines there too




I'm done. Well, this is just the beginning, as since I'm taking the following Monday off, I think I know what I will be doing then, scanning all this up and putting them up... online for my personal pleasure- Maybe I should put it in a private cloud server haha I don't want to pay for the maintenance fees though lol. Somehow I love to do this too but honestly saying, I only bought these so that I can... place them by my side, uh, I mean, the photo frame on my desk. Yes, just the one. Love you Ten-chan hehe

P.S. If you like Kido Ibuki like me too be sure to drop by my Github Page where I demo an image gallery made my yours truly in JavaScript but also use these bromides as test data hehe hey it doesn't always have to be flowers or cityscapes

P.P.S. I guess in the next package coming I'll talk about some statistics concerning the stuff I bought throughout the year, from most expensive to most worth or my favourites, whichever I can list out. Probably doing only next year when I have that upcoming one (not this) shipped to my hands

Thursday 10 December 2020

If I have to think through my brain before I speak, there would be nothing for me to talk about.

Not because it's offensive, but it'll be a hard conversation to even start on. This is especially likely, I noticed, when you have to come up with something, or you just have a bad memory and the norm is that people remember more stuff than you do, and speaking about it otherwise makes you look like an idiot. I'll just keep my mouth shut then.

The Entertainment News 2020 Edition Issue #49

Have you been looking at #YouTubeMusicWeekend? No, you don't need a YouTube Music subscription like Google is pestering me to sign up for whenever I open the app on my phone, but yeah, Japanese artists have been releasing live footage on premier all weekend and I assume it's on archive so you can check those out. Notable artists I know of include [Alexandros] (which I skipped lol), GLIM SPANKY, wacci (thanks for the first song totally loved that one), and Ikimonogakari which is probably airing by the time I post this and they also have recent weeks of live footage revealed too so... I'm only thankful in these times that I get to see more appear without me actively searching for them haha lol

Anime time, I guess. I chose the Sunday morning route now haha well I was watching my archive of Anime yesterday, and wrote a randomizer to run on my external hard drive haha. "ACCA" is still the best imo haha okay I want more "BLEACH" too but that's not in 2 years at least so I'm just hyped for the "Bungou Stray Dogs" next season whatever spinoff that is I just want more Elise-chan lol let's talk this season Anime instead. But seriously though "Demi-chan" is soooo good Ede-chan in that is my fuel I want an overactive vampire as my daughter lmao ok me

Oh yeah, side note: Attack on Titan airs on Sunday late night and I gotta sleep for work on Mondays so... I've done this before but instead I'll add it on to here after I watched it tomorrow. You'll see the hashtag above once it's up. That's all. Anime time!




アニメ GREAT PRETENDER
"Did you understand any of (the English)?" "Only the part about the granny in Tokyo" Haha yes Liu you got the main gist of it lol
Wow I would have guessed, but man, Shi Ohn is OP support in this series, I'll give you that. She's like that support character you don't use in your character building deck until you have to trash someone. Oz is not even close haha okay Makoto don't hit me. In this new episode where Laurent "is paying an old friend a visit" which I doubt will go well but surprisingly it did (#GREATPRETENDER21) we are at the last stretch of this arc and this season. Yes, season two in the near future, if you need a reminder. So, as expected, thanks to Dorothy (RIP), we do have a contingency plan, even for death. Excuse me "expected death". I mean, if you recall the first arc where they were shot in a hail of bullets for the drug deal you would have known. Firstly, about what happened so far, let's do another update. We go back a bit to (1) before Cynthia, Abbie and Oz got sent to the ocean bed and (2) where Laurent explains the plan for this very arc and heist. Yes, for the latter, since we now know the backstory, we know the two ladies do not know of Dorothy and whatever genius so-called is Oz, and how Shi Ohn can dive? Well, she is Korean and good chances she's one of those divers looking for shells when she was young (do Google those documentaries if you've never seen them), so yeah, not really surprised because at that age... please someone let her retire haha. So yes, the plan for such a bailout that would only be put to use because we have to save all the kids thanks to Makoto (so yeah it's his fault technically), and thankfully because we know how the mafia works now, the three get to be saved. Thank goodness, because we still have another heist to pull. So secondly, the plan so far, as Oz continues to explain to his son who may or may not follow according to plan because you know, we know that Makoto isn't great at sticking to plans just like Abbie mentioned. But nonetheless, that whatever Skype meeting between the two factions went real well. *laughs* Hey, with both translators rigged what do you expect? A change of USA President? *laughs* And that's why translation is so important Liu; I get it now. *laughs* Ah, the sweet smell of a scam, I can smell it even from where I'm watching this in another dimension lmao. Because Makoto is known of the plan, and Laurent is at Shanghai's side now (So how is he going to leave again? Can't be his father's about to die right? lol), so yeah, it's not translation anymore, ladies and gentlemen. So, instead of negotiations, it became a money tribute of reconciliation contributed from both sides...? So yeah, the "confidence men" here will pocket it, if that is not obvious enough. *laughs* They won't bring in fake money, and both sides did bring an intent to kill. So yes, Laurent's team is LITERALLY raking this up, money and lives and everything. *laughs* Can't wait till Suzaki's real son comes back and ruins this lmao. Or Liu's fortune teller telling him there's a traitor in his gang. Lastly, what might happen in the near future. They are going to meet up in Tokyo, supposedly Liu giving the money to Suzaki and vice versa? I don't know it doesn't make any sense now anyways haha. Well, I hope everyone got their bulletproof or stabproof vests ready because next week will be quite the ride haha don't ask if Makoto will forgive the father or not it's work vs family man it's always a man's dilemma if you have family haha
[TL:DR; Just a reminder that despite Makoto being emotional or the most emotional character in this series, he doesn't mind since he's a cheater himself he knows how it feels to be cheated besides he can't keep secrets lol]
Told you they were fine! Thank goodness haha
How to get a promotion: install a katana inside the armrest of your boss' chair
(And get your throat slit first lol)
P.S. "I was tricked this whole time" Yeah Makoto no shit if we don't lie to you you'll rat us out so sorry for the emotional damage haha
P.P.S. I like how Liu is like "bro calm yourself down" and he's like "those damn Japanese" haha that's me with China immigrants from my country lol don't tell them this they can't read English

アニメ Majou no Tabitabi
"You're an old lady or something?" Namakura: "I don't want to hear it from you" lmao also Kana-chan isn't that old... yet *laughs* (Yes it's a running joke just YouTube it)
"You just have to deliver it and get paid" Hey, sounds like your local food deliveryman haha man tell this to someone 20 years ago and they thought you'll be referring to wedding buffets haha. In this new episode (#MajoTabi10) where freedom is an option lmao, tell me when Saya will open that box, yes? *laughs* Serious foreshadowing I can't even. Okay she didn't thank goodness haha. Anyways, story, I guess. It's another flashback, about two mages who can't get along with each other. Little do we know, their teacher wrote a book in the future in which Elaina would read as a kid. Yes, if the ending isn't obvious enough. Seriously though it's like Elaina's ancestor or something with the hair colour. So, story. Story goes that Sheila and Fran were on vacation to the Town of Freedom, where in this case, they reminisce the days of... working together. So, long time ago, when Fran was an apprentice, her teacher decided to take on another apprentice, but you know, as with anybody else, this one wasn't feeling welcome. Besides Sheila making a bad impression on her fellow apprentice mate, they also don't like to agree with each other, almost all the time. We'll get to the exceptions later, but suffice it to say the teacher always has to meet in the middle so that they won't start killing each other lol how is bread in between beef and fish. To be honest, I think the easiest way to settle between them every time is... scissors paper stone. No joke. Really, a simple and quick showdown without magic. *laughs* You can track your scores too, I don't care. *laughs* But over time somehow, the shishou has thought of a way to teach them to work together, and by also taking a job that is slightly irritating but not enough to risk their lives on, in the country of Qunorts. There's an association here supposedly larger than the Magic Association stationed there, and they ask for external help because... these guys are troublesome. Not only are they tarnishing the reputation of magicians coming to the islands by putting up posters, and despite being not magicians they are technically using magic tools to threaten citizens and magicians alike. Hey, that's how you be bad guys lol what. So yeah, as you can see, it's a problem, but not such a big one that the shishou has to step in. So, she told her two disciplines to do it. In an effort to deal with the situation, and of course, in a way to make sure they have to cooperate in order to settle this case. Because if not, as stated by the teacher that they will be expelled if they failed, they would only continue to sabotage each other in order to get the other expelled even though we know, this is the opposite Prisoner's Dilemma where no one can get the other expelled and they can only work together, or else this will stay at status quo. It's that simple. Thankfully, they both thought of sort of getting caught by the bad guys so they can technically infiltrate their headquarters and deal with them then, and yeah, it was a lot easier when they can deal with the group together... with knives. Yeah, their training has come full circle. Lastly, as they sat down tired after dealing with a lot of dudes all at once (*hears sucking noise in the distance*) (haha) they talked about how they got into magic. Shiren was living by stealing peoples' money (GET A JOB lol) but eventually got caught by the shishou, and Foula just wanna brag that she's the only magician in the country. *laughs* How is that similar lol one of them is a thief haha. Yes, I'm also referencing the names to the book Elaina read, so it's not wrong by any means they have to augment the names anyways, easier than putting the coincidence of names foreword. To conclude, I have no idea what that small box contains if it contains friendship I'm not investigating further haha cya guys next week
I saw this on the official Twitter but haha yeah we know who is cooler
See? *laughs*
"The Ferrari of broom sticks", I call it
P.S. "Why wouldn't you do such an easy job yourself?" "I'm going on vacation" Haha that's me 2 weeks from now lol YEAR END WORK LEAVE FTW
P.P.S. "I think (getting another apprentice) should be your decision" Yeah but you're a jealous b*tch so I gotta warn you first lmao is that Elaina's ancestor or something? lol
[Not putting more thumbnails because of the clear lack of chest Elaina haha]

アニメ Tonikaku Kawaii
"... It makes the room all Showa (era)" Okay author you don't have to tell us you're that old please mind the generation gap haha train joke
"If it can be fried, it can be bought!" Wow how did you just describe my mom's cooking skills in one sentence haha. Also, that's how you'll end up hating those "air fryers", trust me. *laughs* In this new episode where we continue to do embarrassing things instead of shitting on my family lol (#ToniKawa10) we talk about... the two of them apparently because Aya-chan probably already left overseas to study haha yeah also cut her hair. So, about the two of them. I guess we just continue the wholesomeness in the Yuzaki family despite being in someone else's roof which they promise they won't interfere (lol Kaname) but hey, you can send great tasting melons here Tsukasa doesn't have them haha *silence* Anyways, story. Firstly, about relocation. Remember last week something happened and they had to live in the bathhouse? Yeah, that was like an ad-hoc arrangement so instead they moved to another place with furniture old enough they bring you back two eras in Japan haha welcome to the Reiwa era people. Despite that, Tsukasa can still whip up a meal to embarrass the whole of Showa Era (lol) and still make her husband a happy man. Good on you, bro; I hate you so much I can't even. *laughs* Talking about melons... *laughs* Okay we made that joke a while ago so refer to that, but Kaname gave them some fruits after their dinner haha so embarrassing things this episode Part.1: feeding the wife, literally. You can just watch that yourself I'm not going to describe it that whistle when Tsukasa is hesitating is the best haha I hope it's in the soundtrack lmao. Then, news about the new house. Yeah, Nasa-kun's landlord called. Remember? The one who's shophouse got burnt down due to lightning or whatever haha. Yeah, he said the place already under construction for a new apartment, so yeah soon they can move in without having people drop in to see them every 5 minutes. Excuse me, 2 minutes. *laughs* Still, the landlord probably sent him the wrong details, which they ended up in a high-rise building instead lol how did they even get permission to go in lol I guess this building is also new #FamilyGoals haha. Nonetheless, I guess the author (lol) wants us to feel what it's like for them to have a great life, but hey Nasa-kun? If all else fails we can always have a barrel over campfire as a bath lmao I'm not even trying to shit on "Sangatsu no Lion" right now. But yeah, considering the dude's so tech savvy he's basically an engineer without a degree (and I have one haha *sob*), we won't even see that happen in the new place even if they don't have a bathtub he'll just transform the barrel into a tub. Talking about tech savvy, we talk about life in the bathhouse, in the perspective of Kaname-chan. She might be the ultimate tsukkomi role here, but hey, she be having a tough life because her sister is USELESS haha like seriously though. And Tsukasa feels bad living under someone else's roof so she asks if she can help out wants to help out so she don't feel so bad about it. Hey, nice guys be like this, people. I'm not one of them haha I'll never get laid. And despite the human effort needed to clean up the place, much of the process has already been automated or improvised thanks to Nasa-sensei because he's technically smarter than me lol (*sob*) so pretty much everything he has made to ensure the ladies can handle without much trouble. You see, this is what happens when the breadwinner of the house just left with another woman. *laughs* Lastly, the evening stroll. Yes, and as recommended by that mother, the two took the scenic route. *laughs* Okay, joke's over, we know they want to have some alone time together but seriously though is security too good in Japan or what? *laughs* (Shoutout to those areas of the world where your neighbourhood suffers from noise pollution, light pollution, lack of law enforcement or a combination of any of them) Okay seriously though when they hugged I can't even tsukkomi to that because I'm a loser and have no one to hug haha I'll see myself out lol. So yeah, you can feel that last part of the episode yourself you don't know how great it is to hug someone yes I've done it before and it's not with my family members hehe OKAY cya guys next week haha (Please, that was just a friendly hug)
You know this is a comedy series where the voices have to change to 30 years older halfway through one sentence lmao
Yes that's an Iron Man reference haha Nasa-kun is no Tony Stark though
P.S. "Can you be hungry and wait?" Hey, easiest job ever leave it to me haha I CAN'T SAY THIS TO MY FUTURE WIFE lol
P.P.S. "The best kinds of people are those who can eat tonkatsu whenever they want" I need some context on this lol maybe I'll do some research on this later
#RelationshipGoals haha
(And I don't even have a bathtub at my home)
#RelationshipGoals haha
(Also my personal goal hehe)

Update 2020.12.07: And yes we're back with more Titans! This is likely lasting till June but I have no idea so we shall see.
アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
"There may not be a Warrior as talented as I am" Yes guys that's called a humble brag lol "Not to mention being so cute" O~KAY haha
Taketatsu Ayana, is that you? Hey the final "BLEACH" arc is not upon us yet, girl; Don't rush in to voice the Sternritters, jeez. *laughs* I hope you figured out who she voiced (or not), but even if not this new episode (#AttackOnTitan60) won't make it any easier for you to pick up the pieces where we left off. Hey, that's what the year on recap episodes were airing in Japan for anyways. Ah, "Armoured Titan" kind of rings a bell, I wonder what's with the successor thing. So, story or flashback I guess. Marley... I think if you can recall, are the dominant race now, holding hostage of the Eldians, the Titan race. Obviously, when you have this power, you're going to use it for advancing your territory, so as we can see this very episode, that's what they were doing. Talk about inhumane, but then again they aren't human at some point, so whatever. So, the Marleys were using the Eldians at war, but only for two main purposes. Firstly, as bait. As that Commander prepares to send them to destroy that one anti-Titan train filled with ammo to ruin their plan, Gabi steps up to show her potential and not finish 800 of her own people. Because secondly, they are also potential to inherit the Titan powers. Since the Marleys know as much as the Eldians do, they know how to transfer the powers to other of the same race, to keep the war superpower(s) going, similar to what happened to the Founding Titan. This is then overall demonstrated by the successful takeover of an enemy fort, but in the... most, most minikui way possible (nope this is not "MajoTabi" lol): parachute drop. You might wonder, what's bad with an airdrop. Yeah, it isn't bad until you see the sky above your fort filled with tied up Eldians. *sigh* Yeah, and with a scream of the... what's that summoning Titan thing? Yeah, they all transformed into titans. So yeah, more like bomb drops, but it's Titans. Purpose is likely to send them to destroy all the canons because those are also anti-Titan (that can pierce through the Armoured Titan's armour, mind you) but those little ones didn't do much, so it's up to the two special ones to take the place down. And after that's dealt with with the two covering each others' backs, that intelligent Titan which I also forgot its name Zach or something? Haha okay I hate to remember names so whatever. That one came down to take down the fleet of ships by the sea, which despite drowning into the seabed, did strike the fort good all at once with what I would assume, also anti-Titan cannons- Man, this war is something. The narrator was spot-on: It is living in a world now where titans weren't supreme anymore. You know, technology driven by war will lead to such advancement haha. Guess we're not going to see our favourite guys anytime soon for now, because we have a worldview situation to catch up on. And to end this, in case you wonder the timeline, this is present day. Because Reiner is the Armoured Titan. Yep, that was him almost killed by cannons. Phew, that was close, wasn't it? *laughs* Oh yeah, that wasn't Ayachi by the way, it was Sakura Ayane haha didn't know you two sound similar lol
[TL:DR; I'm just watching this series till the end for the cool Titans that's all not the puny ones which are smaller than my d*ck hahahahaha]
Honestly, the only things I missed so far:
Human transformation. After that I don't care haha
Honestly, the only things I missed so far:
Titans, uh, I mean, brotherhood, man! Well these two aren't really so
P.S. Considering how the final season of this wonderful Anime series should be concluded, I'm actually relieved that they chose Shinsei Kamatte-chan to do the opening (they did an ending theme before, and boy) because if you need a reason to describe weirdness, this band has a lot of it, trust me. And I've heard a lot in the past decade. I'll give the ending theme this season instead which is also kinda weird too haha yeah WOOO NO LINKED HORIZON!!! Lmao okay me 
P.P.S. Just so I can flex my Japanese music knowledge, ending theme is by Andou Yuuko, who also wrote for amongst many idols I know, Toyosaki Aki. She wrote "CHEEKY" which is also the song I regretted giving the most haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Well as mentioned last week we'll only be talking about one release every week in December until the song awards and I have to decide the fates of many songs, first week we have Minase Inori's new single for her 5th anniversary as solo music artist. I don't care about the special live from yesterday but that doesn't mean her new single is good. *laughs* So yeah, even the topic song is well dragged on so that's not going to leave a good impression considering the same composer did such a wonderful job on her previous single topic song which I reviewed this year so... what's with the difference in quality is the question. Oh well, might also be me anyways, so hear my rants on Twitter, I guess.

On the onslaught of news we got on Twitter regarding music which might be too much for the new popup elements but let's see how much we can fit into a paragraph: Read the first paragraph of this post again if you need help finding out what happened in Japan on YouTube this weekend, congrats SHE'S on 10 years even though you're only about 3 years in Klassic Note but I see potential in me hitting 10 years too at some point, Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new song is for that female Inuyasha Anime which Mikakoshi voices the main girl but not like I'm watching it lol, ClariS released a live video from their recent online live and I dare you to release the one with the full face reveal haha, Minase Inori released two videos (now I regret not putting underline for URLs because I linked both) based on some voting from the fanclub members not including me I assume (but I liked them both so it counts haha), Polkadot Stingray's new music video is... very them I suppose (*let's hope they have better songs in the album* Haha), VELTPUNCH released a new live video footage which is underrated as usual but man am I glad for the upload, the Anison Awards in Japan gave awards to Amamiya Sora and Yunomi for theme songs that impressed (okay now I have to give them Top 20? lol), and last but not least I'll not quote all the artists who retweeted so here's a summary of Spotify's 2020 Wrapped in Japan based on overseas listeners. If you can't understand it, notable results with respect to Klassic Note include (1) Aimer and Ikimonogakari are most listened artists in 7th and 8th spot respectively and (2) Anime theme song dominate the most listened songs mostly Naruto series apparently. Again, those people have no tastes, only listen to LiSA and don't pay for Apple Music Japan so *laughs*

So next week, and finally we're getting to it, I'll be tuning into yanaginagi's new album in quite a while to be honest, so we shall see how much I can give her this time around. The previous album... didn't do too well haha likely the same too as I heard the preview video so... we shall see.




In other things not concerning anything I've mentioned before... *sigh* I bought more bromides. *laughs* Hey, I did say we're done since the last time, but I saw so many Kido Ibuki-chan ones I can't say no- Nan-chan it's all your fault for being cute. *laughs* If that arrives next year then technically I'll not have lost my own promises- The problem is when her new photobook releases in a couple of weeks and then they start selling out their bromides again and then I will HAVE to get it again okay please stop. *laughs* But yeah, I should be done for the year in spending. Oh yeah, I still have to consolidate this month's orders- I really should stop. *laughs* Cya guys next week then

P.S. Watched some Nan-chan livestream gameplay earlier of the new Spiderman game on PS5 and... well I'm just watching her so I'm good haha maybe I should buy her new photobook... Haha I'm that baka aniki isn't it

Wednesday 2 December 2020

The Twelfth Book Worth of Photos(?): Playing Hard To Get

Eh, Naobou? I don't mean you're hard to get I meant your live tour goods haha then again you did say you were a shy girl so you might be hard to get anyways so... I want to try though hehe

Yeah, pre-emptive early post, because by my current schedule, we'll only see the next package next year (lol), which isn't wrong, but yeah, this one was an exception since it can't be bundled together. Destination problems, you know. Also, the reason why this is in a separate post. Don't worry, the next package is already in order, it just needs to align like the stars in constellations- Anyways, let's talk about Touyama Nao, yes? I'm actually hyped to talk about this because... because... this is my first time... Haha like no really

Also sorry Minase Inori again this is your birthday today but I'm reviewing someone else's pamphlet- When you sell one I'll be sure to talk about it- Oh I didn't buy it. *laughs* Oops.




Some background story before we start: It's here on its own because of one main reason: it was hard to get. Yes, the title was not clickbait; It literally was my last option. So, in case you don't know of them, I got it through - instead of directly - buying services, who will, as the name states, buy items for you and charge you a small fee for using their services. It's not much, like 500yen or something. Still, I'd like to save that money and also, I got a debit card which can give me better exchange rates instead of the service itself (Buyee, in case you wonder, charges in your closest currency, unless yours is not supported, then in yen) (They are also the ones who got me much stuff over the years, like the Three Books Worth of Photos posters), so I would like to buy everything from this store (7-Eleven Net Shopping) myself and pay in yen until... I can't do it. Apparently, I guess, you may need a Japanese credit card because after I tried my cards and even my sis' credit card which doesn't have a good exchange rate (FYI bank cards do worse than special top-up cards because of flexible exchange rate updating), so yeah, and I want it so bad so... *laughs* And here we are. So, without further ado...

UNBOXING!! Yeah we'll get there

I took this one this morning you know how much I don't want to work today?? lol
(It was in the mailbox so thanks dad)
(Haha)

I opened till here to confirm the contents and I already am disappointed

Because, aside from the pamphlet, they also had a gacha like many other events we know of throughout the year already so refer back if you need to, but here's the list and I wanted the "C level prize" of bromides because if this blog isn't an indication of my obsession of photos of Japanese female voice actresses... *laughs*

But instead...
Not enough space for any B6-sized photos

So yeah, the consolation prize was badges.
And this looks bad because they have the same product IDs...

... and they are the same thing.
Is this the worst gacha I've had just this year alone? Haha *sob*

Wow, age really shows in this shot lol she's only a year older than me
(Some intern at work identified me as 35 so I guess Naobou wins lmao)

Hey, just in time for her anniversary live event this weekend which I'm not going to watch haha

パンフレット Touyama Nao "Special Thanks! Festival" Official Pamphlet

The (extra) topic for this pamphlet is cosplay. *laughs* Okay, it's like Marinka-nation but it's Naobou version where now we get to see what Touyama Nao looks like as not a female voice actress for Anime. Man, I'm so ready... *laughs*

Like, seriously? I'm only interested in the first part hehe

"What if Touyama Nao was NOT a seiyuu...?"

"What if Touyama Nao was a mother..."
(Oooo boy...)

I want to be the father of a penguin lmao
(But seriously though, Naobou?)
(*giggles*)

"What if Touyama Nao became an idol..."
Wait, aren't you already?
Also, this image just brought me back to the 90s lol

"What if Touyama Nao was a teacher..."
Yes yes megane fetish triggered whatever haha
(She did say she tried to get a teacher certification but failed though)

Oh this is the tai'iku sensei thing
(Man, imagine the sweat in that jersey haha)

"What if Touyama Nao became a dancer..."
It would look similar to this YouTube video she uploaded

If you see on the top right it's not her first time she's showing off her belly

"What if Touyama Nao became a career woman..."
(In this specific case, she wants to assist seiyuus... if she can't be one haha GUESS NOT!!)

Oh it's the going grocery shopping look!!!- This housewife cosplay is the best hehe

If you zoom in you can see the age on her face- Okay me you like her don't say that

Oh interview with her manager? lol all I see is a penguin

If you have watched her "Nao's Kitchen" series on YouTube (with fan contributed subtitles), this is a special one with her making a cake.. with some help lmao

You should like her being sadded like me too as I loved this tweet

Sorry to those who contributed to the final product and got their face penguin-ed haha

Eh finally someone who made this year relevant by saying they knew her through Anime "KanoKari" RUKA-CHAN!!! Haha also this is for fanclub members you signed up this quick? I'm sorry Inorin lol

"Make your own Naobou paper figure"?? Eh for preservation purposes I'm not tearing off the pages haha

lol the comic
(It's her accidentally adding one gram more sugar, got spotted and licked it up haha this is real apparently?)

So as you can see, the cosplay (lol) is only a small part of it as most of them are interviews and comments about her and her 10 years in the industry, so yeah, I'll read that up later and when I say that it means I'll keep the book and not read again lol.  But I'll do you all and myself a favour by translating the last part of the photobook with her writing on it.

"(I've) been a female voice actress for 10 years.
The happiness, the pains,
They all exist, to become what I am today.
Because it's never me alone,
any time (I'm) always (living) with a strong heart.
Thanks to everyone who have supported me from near or from afar.
From here on,
(I) wish we can continue to come together (and enjoy) these lovely times.
Those flowing memories, the many emotions, let us continue to exchange them!
-Touyama Nao"

*Subject to translation accuracy by Yours Truly

And that shall be it for now. I gotta so watch that weekly livestream with Mikakoshi and Sumipe and talk about how Naobou is nothing like them. *laughs* Okay, Naobou, you are still really adorable in my opinion; I would like you to know that. If you weren't your shy shelf and me not being a Japanese ikemen I wish we were together even with the slight age difference (and in the wrong way, as determined by society), I promise you. I guess I'll see you all the next time probably next year for the next batch then. I, uh, have a feeling more of these pamphlets will come by soon haha I just flashed my card to my colleagues while paying for more of those during lunch today lol haha see ya then

P.S. In contrast to ALL her fans and as I stated in the Wanted List, I liked her from Anime "KONOBI" as Imari Maria, because that bubbly personality totally suits herself in front of the camera, and I love her for that. Haha okay enough fan creeps we're done
