Klassic Note Welfare Package December 2020

Well I already waited for a month and a half no harm waiting for another couple of days amirite?? NO haha

But seriously man, this week has been hectic, I don't even know when I can do this because if you saw this on a Thursday when this arrived on Tuesday... Well you wouldn't know if I didn't say it lol

Also, titling future posts starting from this one the opposite of how seiyuu magazines work so these are named from last month haha I'm not that forward-looking. Also, can't you see I'm rebranding? Probably slapping a tag in here just so we can find back all the happiness when we can haha why am I already planning for my retirement

Without further ado, let's open box!




Asakura Momo Live 2020 "Agapanthus" Postcard Set
Amamiya Sora Live Tour 2020 "Paint it, SKY" Pamphlet
Natsukawa Shiina Zepp Live Tour 2020-2021 "Pre-2nd" Goods
Inori Minase Fanclub Calendar 2021
Toyota Moe "Room Share" Event Bromides
"Ganbare Douki-chan" Vol.3

As always, I'll come up with a story to talk about how each of them came by, but before that, here's some obligatory unboxing haha you're welcome
MOCHO~!! Haha

Ah finally it's here, finally

Nan-chan!! My dear imouto I can use more of you in my life lol

Moeshi~!! Hey what can I say I know a lot of people as in idols

I must say, a GREAT summary of the type of girls I like haha well just in appearance because we can't really judge idols after that lol

So let's go in order of what I saw starting with the biggest part of the package, TrySail's recent solo artist live goods! Yes, I'll talk about them individually below just because, but yeah they were all from the same online store run by their talent company and music label, and man, are these not cheap considering they took the least space in the package. But it won't be as less as the next one we'll talk about after the following take up half this post lmao
These are great as in Mocho is great but they are postcards so not bromide quality so I'm not showing more. Also, what's with that thing below?
(Oh, it's just a holder lol how nice I don't know if I should keep or throw it)

If you need a reason to like Ten-chan when she's cool, here you go.

パンフレット Amamiya Sora Live Tour 2020 Paint it, SKY Pamphlet
After 6 years of solo music, she's still blue. Always has been.
As you will see real soon, this is from her recent album from September 2020, many years in the works, and if you would have remembered, it was after her 10th single which is also the first time she delayed the release event for 10 months she gave up cool songs to sing a cute song for Anime, but yeah who cares about that because more super cool and blue Amamiya Sora incoming!! Hey, they did tell her (Sora is her name) to "paint it", of course she's going to paint it blue because... that's her favourite colour hehe me too
Ten-chan, when were you in a white dress?
*looks back at photo library*

Again, you don't really use "kawaii" to describe this girl, and you can see why

Literally me with my regretful life choices haha thanks for reminding me of my new PC and monitor Ten-chan

Ah yes, we describe this lovely woman with "kirei" because just look at this this is how she flirts with you

Oh what is this, black and blue style now? Usually it's black and red but I don't think she will take that

It's literally some new guy pitching black and red style and the manager in the meeting room going "you know she only loves blue" lol that dude immediately has to write a new concept draft haha it's not tough though just change to blue
Another thing you gotta admire besides her "seductive" face is them legs, no joke

MEGANE ON FACE OR IT DOESN'T COUNT lol
(kawaii oh those are my glasses haha)

Can we be on the same bed already? Pretty please? *laughs*

You think she uses a translator to read this book? I wonder if this is a children's book lol okay me

So deep, yet so dark
(Haha I'm talking about the book's contents, please)

Oh, it's a contest of the fan club members drawing about her live! This one might really deserve the best out of those two pages of drawings tbh

This is not her in bed but I like hehe

Ah yes, the behind-the-scenes images if you can't get enough and you paid 300 or 500yen a month on her fan club I might as well do it for another month tbh

To be frank? This was the one to pad this order from the online store mainly because I want to buy the other two (above and below) and then she would make of a more complete collection in terms of TrySail in pamphlets for 2020 haha. And that is... two outfits? Yeah, and the staff flashing their English in front of us on this book because I swear Ten-chan's English is better than this lol well I hope so so I can actually date her now *giggles* See, when two people are same year they wished they were together MAN I wish I was Japanese lol MOVING ON!!

Ah I can stare at this all day I tell you
(And they make this the pamphlet cover too? *yes*)

Oshare Nan-chan!! Not really into it but I like (to pay) to see my imouto dress up lol

パンフレット Natsukawa Shiina Zepp Live Tour 2020-2021 Pre-2nd Pamphlet
I can stare at her all day- Oh I said that hehe
So this, as you can see from the title, is a live tour in preparation of a big real hint which is likely her 2nd album which might just happen sooner than we think, but other than that it's definitely to boost Natsukawa Shiina and her 4th single (which I reviewed here) and 5th single which released last week, and this also being her biggest scale solo live tour yet, can't help but give her some support right here. Can't be there physically so this is as much as I can do- I want them postcards released in a couple more months later because that's what I did with Mocho haha please man please

(And also because I love her so much as an onii-chan sorry for the image dump haha)
Somehow regarded by photographers as her best pose, considering I see this so often.
*thumbs up*

You got the English too? lol
(*whispers* You don't have to do anything and I'm already happy haha)

:)))))))

Might be a good time to substitute "cute" for "beautiful" on this one

If she's obsessed with music I'm obsessed with her on headphones

What it feels like to go on a date with her which I won't because I'm that shy photographer older brother *dabs*

Just making this camera shot clean because I'll be staring at this for the rest of the month haha

Is this though? lol

Really, "playful looks"? Anyone aroused by this? lol

Again, not her English input I hope

How loud do you think she can shout if she's in a cheerleader team?
(Probably not much she only is loud when in fear lol)

Me when she's still not happy after I bought her popcorn

I want to be the popcorn hehe

She is so sweet it's way more than a handful's worth

I will NEVER make her cry, not even in this way
(...)

The zoom was unglam but she looked great on the book and that's good enough hehe
So that's just my lovely little sister which I wish I had but hey, this is quite a nice pamphlet and they did make an effort to not just keep the two outfits in the studio and took her out for a walk, so that's nice. Maybe this should be the next standard for reviewing pamphlets haha next time then Nan-chan next time




Next up, we have that calendar I've been talking about for 3 months lol. Yes, it's the calendar of the year, it's none other than Minase Inori fan club calendar 2021!! Yes, every single one of those bolded words have a deep meaning into them which I shall not dictate again because I have done it already, but suffice it to say this is (and will be) the most amount of money I've spent on a calendar in Japan EVER. Yes, NEVER AGAIN. *laughs* *looks at Tachibaka Rika fan club revival*
If you noticed the light shining on the top left yes this calendar is tearable
(why)

INORI LOOK AT ME I GAVE YOU MONEY-

Oh that's next month haha

Looking great on my new desk tbh
(You can see the rest of the calendar here but I shall forget it so the following months would be good)

Then, something that really took up so little space the envelope which is encasing it is bigger lol, is bromides from Toyota Moe's "Room Share" event! Well, in case you don't know of this, this is a partially paid monthly(?) livestream series with her receiving fan mails and just talking about her life and everything else in between. So yeah, drop by Mondays 9pm JST if you can for like half an hour for free lol, or pay for a subscription to her niconico channel to see more of her. For me? I'll just take the bromides because you know, it's me. *laughs* Also because, no gifts with minimum purchase anymore, so no adding another pamphlet to review. Phew! *laughs*

If rightmost is your fav you're not alone but these are 4 sets of 3 so yep Moeshi you've hit your quota on my library hehe

Since I want to talk about the contents inside, let's get the free gift out of the way.
(Hey, didn't I get this every book till date? Man, Toranoana be my friend of this series haha)

Is this implying that Douki-chan here is a liar? That Tanuki headgear is cute though

lol you know I hate dogs haha

I'll take the rack but that face... not my type haha Douki-chan's cuter

And last but not least, it's our regular issue of Ganbare Douki-chan!! Yay, I'm chasing this series more than all mainstream manga because I don't even have time to read those anyways (and there's the pay gate which I'm not willing to pay because licensing is not actual support by the way somewhere along the way someone else gets a cut), but also because it's the third time coming, man. This time (story-wise), I'll show some of the... not-so-rated content which may or may not have been on the author's Twitter already (with replies of them translated in English goddamn), and then again this one isn't heavily on those ecchi scenes to be honest so I'll show a couple more. Also also, the stories only get more interesting with the guy having to take some... how should I say it, "proper gentlemen action" towards the main girl. How will it end up though? I wonder too hehe also #PersonalLoveStoryGoals can't wait to resist all the boobs coming my way lmao
Welp it's full on manga now not that I don't understand but remember when it was just technically an image gallery?

Thought I was looking at a pregnant woman for a moment lmao

Still okay to show, still okay to show. No need to blur at all see all you like~

One can dream and brag to their colleagues, Douki-chan, one can dream...

When that kid doesn't know about the troubles of marriage lmao
(Hey, not representative of every marriage, okay?)

"Sorry, I think I better take one petal" lmao you know, for good luck

What would you do, no-face? *laughs*
(Don't worry, he did the thing)



And that shall be it. No rated images to spoil you guys on because I think I would have shared a good amount above already so yeah. Cya guys around next time, I don't know when though because I've not prepared to buy anything at this time of the year yet, but I hinted before someone's sending me a new year greeting card in which I'll have to send that over at some point, and I did almost give [Alexandros] on their latest single... but yeah, next package in bulk not incoming as of now. Until next time then.

P.S.
Thanks to the new monitor, I can now add the desk calendar to my desk instead of replacing my photo frame
(It's like dating Inorin and then two timing with someone else for the year lmao)

Sunday 10 January 2021

The Entertainment News 2021 Edition Issue #02

You'll realize the pain when you can never recover the time where you have to take naps but didn't haha it's all those stupid YouTube clips about VTubers lol I gotta stop

Also, if you didn't notice the changes on the home page when you entered, good. Because I don't want you to either that's why they call it code refactoring haha. Which will also explain the lack of need of a redirect to a custom home page because I just literally rewrote the main page. *dabs* Anyways, if you're bored about programming, why not watch Anime? I can talk about them, as little as there are to talk about for now lol

Ah, also also, yes Titans got left out a week I think, and it's not just me. Didn't notice it until I cleared the week thinking I didn't have time to watch it at all and then it turns out there wasn't any anyways haha well we'll get it into this issue lol I really should shift it to next issue instead of adding on tbh




アニメ Horimiya
"I don't really want anyone else to see you like this, Miyamura" OH SHIT THE DROP IS REAL haha this guy's gonna get laid soon I know it
Call him a good teacher, but when they talk about their fetishes remind yourself never to talk to him again. Haha yes that means studying hard so you never have to see his face ever until graduation lol. Also in other hard working lifestyles when you have to deal with realities instead of hanging out and doing nothing... hey, I WISHED I was working that hard lol I just get things easy in the two decades I've been alive. In this new romance series which I'm sitting the fence on (#Horimiya01) we have responsibilities to deal with. Hey, not like there isn't any for everyone alive (you know, responsibility is to not die on your parents before they do), but for Hori-san here, she... might be a supporting pillar of the household. That, is Hori-san's secret. On the other hand, Miyamura-san... we know nothing about him. Well, not like his classmates did, so good luck trying if you want to. But as the titles implies, these two are about to go on a journey we will never forget. Well, I'll see how far I can see this through lol. Anyways, a sudden coincidence lands the main couple on the same place thanks to Hori's little brother Souta (dude you MVP, bringing two people together you be more powerful than the God of Love and Marriage lol), Hori found out that the one nerd who hardly talks to anyone in class is actually dressed up in front of her, basically walking out of the gangster streets. So along the way and mostly because of Souta wanting to see the "cool brother" (lol Souta no~!!), the two get to hang out together more often outside of school, which of course, will gather attention of other classmates who would otherwise not see the unlikely couple. From Ishikawa who actually likes Hori and wants to ask her out thinking this dude got to her first lol, to Yuki-chan who as of now probably wouldn't recognise Miyamura's two forms haha, we have a diverse cast around here waiting for sparks to happen anytime even though it's like 2nd year of high school and this is a totally broken down but functioning electric power plant lmao. All in all, this series might have baited me in with Tomatsu Haruka (since 2008 haha oh "Kannagi" you will be remembered) because just look at the cast man (haha), but you know, I might sit down on this 4-koma series adaptation, who knows? Given that I've seen this before years ago in the original work and didn't hate it, I'm already glad they decided to finally make this animated because so far, it's pretty good. From theme songs (hey Friends) (no the band name is not a joke) to the animation to whatever story to the people in this series and their character development, the first episode definitely showed them all. It might feel short, the dialogues might feel really straightforward without much cut on emotion unless really necessary, but looking at the circumstances I can hang around to see what happens. Sadly, this is not going to take over other romance series which can leave a better impression than this, I would say. But I'll take as many "baka" as I can since "Toradora!" and "Shakugan no Shana" 12 years ago, though. Hori-san, I'm most definitely not going to stop you from saying it haha maybe we'll give this series after all
[TL:DR; MVP Souta-kun because people be flirting in front of his face and HE GIVES NO SHIT haha but really dude you shouldn't because we just wait and see what happens hehe]
I want to represent female rights but this series keeps beating up men so
(Okay technically this is not)
I want to represent female rights but this series keeps beating up men so
(lol I wanna be Ishikawa also GIF)
P.S. "He's always so gloomy. I bet he's an otaku" Ah, am I not just the best example of that haha hey they say online forums are their fuel and I don't ever use any of those anyways so... gg me haha also not true in Miyamura's case though
P.P.S. "She's always rushing to go home" "I bet she has a boyfriend" Well gg all of us then I'll be dropping this series after this final review lmao
[I clipped too much of Hori-san so here's some of them hehe]
The girl you know
The girl she tells you not to worry about lol

Update 2021.01.13: I was busy setting up my PC so I can gloriously watch this Anime with that and my NEW MONITOR haha it's so bright why is the minimum brightness so high lol okay we got a great episode ahead of us despite that package having arrived but that'll be for tomorrow so for now so let's get to it!
アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
"Aren't you two supposed to be long time friends?" Yeah? NOT UNTIL THAT SHIT BETRAYED US go watch from season two thanks haha
Ah yes, Eren with his hand cut sitting below a residential building facing the stage for the night. We're 100% sure he won't transform into a Titan? *laughs* In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan64) where excitement and danger is literally a freaking time bomb right now, he decides to sit down and have a talk with Reiner, of all people. Just so you know, not Paradiso here by the way, it's damn in the center of Marylean territory. So yesh, story. The calm before the storm. The explanations before we don't have to explain anynmore lol. Like really, there is nothing much to explain. Ah, so history lesson, and also, fact check time. I mean, you think anyone checked? Even those who came back including Reiner would've told a different story but who cares?? Propaganda is at its ultimate here to ensure the wage of war anyways so- Wait, you don't know they are declaring war? But how does the whole Marleyean militrary know? *laughs* Ah okay Will is telling the truth because their family had Titan memories. Anyways, fact check, I guess. Firstly, the told lies. Marley, among many countries and states, fought in wars with the Eldian empire for years and centuries only to keep losing because of their Titan powers being able to reign over humans. Well, not really the case now because they have anti-Titan weapons but back then man. And then, a hero appeared. His name his Helios, and he took care of the King. King of the Titan race, of course. The Eldians retreated, never to be seen again, and the rest of the world were taught about its danger and its constant and eventual rise to eradicate the human race again. Hey, it's like if we lived with dinosaurs you guys ever played a video game called "Ark"? *laughs* Then, Will dropped everyone on the truth. Truth of course is, there is no hero, and the King literally, even without reaching this episode you should recall, surrendered its own people in order to flee into an island with a selected amount of Eldians, and continued live there in peace. How though? That's where Will comes in. *laughs* So, it appears that the Tybur is fully responsible in collaborating with the King to allow this peace to be achieved, like, saving what's left of the race before they get consumed by the rest of the human race maybe. It may not be so back then since the King just wanted to retire, but its descendants surely don't think that is such the case. And I suppose Reiner did come back and report to them, so yes, with respect to season three, Eren took in the Founding Titan powers and along with his Attack Titan powers (title mention) (lol) he would sought to bring an end to the human race, because you know, that's literally it, and I almost forgot the walls of Paradiso are made of Titans too, they mentioned that before. Now, why Eren is here. That is interesting though, because yes from the previous episode, I was as shocked as Reiner himself. So, Eren managed to so far, leave Paradiso by himself I assume leaving everyone else behind since they can't really do much besides using that menuveur gear which will do no shit against literal guns and canons lmao so yeah, Eren's mission here is actually to observe, if you didn't notice. So yeah, he pretended to be an Eldian seeking refuge, got beat up at some point because you are an inferior race (I'm keeping racism to a minimum here to bear with me), met some nice people who will do work for him (hey thanks Falco who is probably dead now and can't stop Gabi from being a Warrior) so that he can get his "contacts" together to, you guessed it, initiate war. I mean, Will is technically doing the same thing, because in his story, he wants the world to unite to stop Eren from, you know, literally summoning Titans to flatten the planet they stand on lol. But as expected, Eren came prepared. Right timing too. Firstly, he is literally in a basement behind the stage where Will stood. How convenient, eh? Then, he has one of the few remaining Titan power Marleys here with him: Reiner. And of course, the next descendant for good measure, and not liek Eren needs to know that since he'll be dead anyways lol. Then, is that one "soldier" who called for all the Warriors (primed with Titan powers already, by the way) and then, slowly but surely, separated them up using traps. Traps small enough they can't transform, and deep enough so they can't human themselves out of there. I wonder who that is, to be honest. Can't recognise from the voice though haha. Last but not least, is Eren unleashing hell upon the audience of guests from different nations waiting to get into the action... and then getting killed immediately lol oh well thanks for participating haha. What an episode, guys, what an episode. What, you think Eren is going to walk out of the basement without a scratch? Them soldiers were already trying to find at least Reiner already man, where else you gonna go but up? *laughs* So looks like next week, the Tybur family is going to start this war fighting. Hey, everyone in the audience is confirmed dead already what do you think? Haha I'm just excited to see this series gain momentum again we had too much peace there Will, just a little too much.
It's like the Rojak here but with humans... and... blood ugh
(Gore warning haha maybe I should censor this)
When you get dough but your bros don't lmao
(Sorry but I gotta mention this haha I would like a hug from Pieck too)
(Yes voiced by dear Nu-chan right there)
P.S. "Annie is alive. She promised she would come back" Well I've got bad news for you, sir. *sigh*
[TL:DR; I expected an episode of nothing but a declaration of war. Thanks for not disappointing me with the speech, author and prodction team.]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
We're starting the year weak I must say, but hey, I really am not in the mood to listen to songs for now and my work week has been busy, so maybe more next week I guess. Gotta remind myself of that end of month bomb of releases I'm getting so I better get these out of the year. What I did get out of the way though (lol) are Gotch's latest album from last year which isn't that bad so I gave a couple of songs I guess (Iwasaki Ai approves of my tastes haha, from the album), Kumiko's 2nd mini-album which is solo outside of her band Scenarioart if you didn't know who she is and not like this is better than the band I like the latter more, and AOP's new single which I gave up listening real quick so haha. And, for the actual new releases, Natsukawa Shiina's new single isn't that great to begin with so I might only give the topic song which I must say coming from that UNISON SQUARE GARDEN composer is rather disappointing, and SPYAIR's new single is not worth giving so I'm skipping it. That's all. I'll listen to more next week, probably from last year mostly. Oh, and since I watched Anime "Horimiya" and the ending theme which will be Friends' new song and single is good, I might as well listen as I write this post.

On news on the new year regarding music and Twitter because it's my preferred social media platform and not Facebook lol cinema staff, SID's live performance premier on Saturday I hope you have watched that because I did... not watch everything haha I did though, I tried to give Sangatsu no Phantasia's recommendation of SixTONES new song but then found out that they are a boys' group and this song isn't that great so no haha, LuckLife's new single is releasing end of February, Asakura Momo's new live preview is longer now so in case you missed it, and Ryokuoushoku Shakai is releasing a new single early February which you can take a listen on Twitter. Hey, the more songs the merrier, amirite?

So for next week, as mentioned above because we don't have anything new, I'll be digging around for some oldies and hopefully, giving some of them as we go. I'm just getting lazy already at this rate haha




And I'm done. And I guess I'll end my week with some Kohara Konomi's Instagram live because why not she's a really nice voice actress anyways she's also slightly older than me only so Koko-chan I wished we were together lmao. Okay me, go dream about it or send her a comment now or whatever lol. Cya guys next week then, and until then... *sigh* my new PC can only be fetched from on site on weekdays I don't even know I want to get time off just to do this already lol

P.S. And because I can't wait for the next package to arrive and considering how, uh, insignificant this became after doing that one post earlier today, here are some images of Futon-chan's polaroid from last month haha sorry girl I can afford only this much your fan club membership fees are waaaay too high
The special gift bromide that came with buying 3 of these is kind of NSFW so if you aren't satisfied with these there's her Twitter and LINE blog lol

The Fanclub Membership Service: The Appetizer

Well, the other day I got that membership card so I think I should talk about it now that we have 10 months left so *laughs*

Hey, welcome. I thought of doing this on Entertainment News or on the next package which is on its way as we speak, but I figured out I did plan a story to tell the moment I signed up for it so might as well.

Uh, just a small note: I won't be able to show you guys much on this post especially the fan club content here (just because I am her fan and I love her HAH), but I'll provide evidence of how this worked, and then you can consider if you want it her for yourself haha




THE ORIGIN
It was all because of a calendar. Not just any calendar, it was a 2021 calendar. Not just any calendar for the year, but because I normally hunt calendars for the following year around November of the previous year, this was the only one that showed up: Minase Inori 2021 Calendar but only purchasable for fan club members. So yes, in the most compelling decision ever and not wanting to hang a... calendar of nude photos on the wall in my room because it's my room but not my house lol, I went to sign up for the fan club named "Inori Machi". Yes, as of sign up dated Halloween 2020, I was the 18866th (probably among active and inactive) member of that club, and yes, I did end up buying the calendar. Desk calendar, by the way. If you know of my travels I rather have wall calendars but you know, they don't have those.
Yes, this was above the membership fee


THE CHARGES
Before we talk about how much I paid without the calendar, we have to talk about how these fan clubs work in Japan. There are typically two types: monthly and yearly memberships, and any one club will not have both at the same time. Years ago I did sign up for TrySail's membership for like a month at most I think? I just wanted to see what it's like to look around in their exclusive contents to see if its worth even signing up just for the limited online content... (spoiler alert: not really worth it haha) That was in a monthly format, with two tiers of access. If you sign up via their official website, they will provide two monthly tiers of 300yen and 500yen a month, with the latter providing additional privileges for event ticket purchases (ie. they get to do it first) and video content along with images for online content available to view, amongst other things of the lower tier.
If you have not signed up, you can see it here too if you can read Japanese
For Inori Machi however, it was run under a yearly based subscription, with 5500yen on first year sign-up including membership fee of 1100yen (yes, what you'll get in return we will review later), and then subsequent years 4400yen, so on average you would pay a little more at the start compared to the above club (which is how they retain their fanbase), but you get everything. We'll talk about what in a moment, but yeah, it was a deal breaker just for purchasing one calendar because I took a long time to think about how much I want to sign this up and watch her fan club online content only (because I can't go to their fan club events even if there are any) (livestreams though... we'll talk about how this works too so) for 12 months JUST to get a calendar on my desk. 

Oh, and just as a prerequisite because this is actually important if you don't live in Japan: you have to provide a phone number on sign-up. And not just any number: they will reject that phone number you use for international shipping just like I did lol. You can use 050 phone numbers (just Google a generator) and never use it since they will only use it to contact you for events I assume, but other than that there's the email so I suppose it won't matter. But yeah, just a heads-up because I took a while to get over this I almost want to give up haha ugh


WHAT YOU GET (AND WHAT YOU DON'T)
So, online content first. Even without doing anything else, you get access to all online content in the fan club dated from 2016 where this club started (and where Inorin barely looked any impressive to me tbh) including:
  • [1] behind-the-scenes photos and content written by "Inori Machi" staff (because why would she write it herself considering they refer to her as "the town mayor") (if you played the Harvest Moon remake of Mineral Town in Japanese you learn all this haha) so I can tell you I so far have seen the ones in 2020 (if you need a reminder it was two singles, and that livestream in August, as a highlight) including some content exclusive to the fanclub which are mainly the website revamp because they will update that from time to time (I've seen it done twice already),
  • [2] free downloadable content (which I will not share) every time the website revamps so desktop and mobile wallpapers so yes I have those on my desktop now haha,
  • [3] video content from time to time on major events (which will expire) and so far it's just the anniversary live and new year greetings,
  • [4] access to the fan club shop to buy exclusive items including yes, the calendar which is of course, based on the fan club not just on her like, as an artist considering she's not part of an idol group,
  • [5] polls and/or feedback content for their sub-regular (monthly?) fan newsletter where they talk about Minase Inori (FYI top answer for "why people like her" is "she's cute" lol) and everything related to her (For December 2020 they were asking for feedback on the recent 5th anniversary live),
  • [6] and very recently "Town Mayor's Diary", blog posts written by yours truly about anything and everything, which I must say I would totally sign up for this long ago if this wasn't just around since September 2020 lol
The fan club goods page, as of November 2020
What you WON'T get though, basically because you don't live in Japan if you are reading this anyways and want to sign up for it, is access to purchase tickets to exclusive fan events and/or early access to normal events she has as an artist, depending on circumstances, AND depending on results of the ballot. Yes, if you didn't know about how event ballots work in Japan, it's no first-come-first-serve basis. The best example I can give you, is the recent 5th anniversary live: You will have to sign up as a member, buy tickets for the event which are like normal live performance prices but cheaper if you do it early, and if you can still afford it, pay for access to an exclusive after talk session with Minase Inori herself and special guest Oonishi Saori, which I think you may have seen photos of them on her Twitter page so it's for that. Yes, you have to pay for a lot just to enjoy this one event that is online. And it's only online because of 2020. When it isn't... you can imagine it yourself. So yes, I'm not here for this part, to say the least.

To add on, when you sign up, they also stated you will receive "continuous special goods" which I don't know if I have to pay for it, but I mean, if it meant the greeting card then I get it, but so far, as you can see below, the time for delivery is irregular (I had to ship this out first before the upcoming one), so I will not be able to control when these will arrive so that I can bundle with my monthly (or not) packages to ship to where I live. Also, shipping. International shipping. *laughs*


THE (SUPPOSED) APPETIZER
So, I've already enjoyed looking at her fan club's online content for like, 2 months now (you get notified by email, and Twitter) but this will be the first physical item I'll receive from her that is not the item intended for the purpose of signing for the club but AFTER signing: the membership card. Remember above where I mentioned paying a membership fee? Yeah, it went into making a totally cool membership card and it comes with a free gift - a card holder to put your membership card in... or whatever you want to use it to put normally I guess haha. Here is what it looked like, and trust me, once a member, ALWAYS a member hehe even after my membership ends they can't take my card back lol
The letter that I had to send to here via international shipping (ugh)
Around the barcode from the top clockwise is my name, when my membership will expire, and member number

Yeah, it's a legit card. It's not even made of paper or whatever

The card holder/pouch you would put maybe not your membership card into lol




And that is all. I thought of writing up more, but I think this is enough of a hint. I may update more in the future (as in not here) if anything else showed up but again, I can't really show you much but physical items I will let you guys take a peek including what is upcoming, the New Year greeting card. Yes, it's the year of the cow, and the fan club website is full of it haha no Inorin doesn't have them cow tits lmao bye

P.S. Man, imagine Minase Inori with a RACK haha okay me

The Entertainment News 2021 Edition Issue #01

Yeah, so that the "1" doesn't feel lonely on the title- Hey. HEY. Wake up. It's 2021 already. *laughs*

HEY EVERYONE!! And... unlike last year which we had a photobook to start the year lol (Anzai Chika-chan!! Okay me) this year... well many other things happened like I got a new desk and chair so that's good enough. *laughs* Also also, amongst many more of these mistakes I'll be making because I'm a Minase Inorin fan now (lol) (as in fanclub member) she sent that New Year's greeting card... a day after I compiled that upcoming package. F**k me, really. I wished I could edit that consolidation but yeah, maybe that's what I need to look for in this service's replacement lol or I could just wait another day and the email will remind me *sigh*

Okay, not Anime time, but I guess this is, because if below isn't like a long paragraph you know I gave up watching this "BLEACH" author anniversary spinoff turned animation halfway through haha let's take a look then




アニメ BURN THE WITCH
"If magic only works on fools, I'd rather be the one casting the spells"
Ah, just so you're aware? They end with the opening lol what. Okay, if you are also watching this three-part series instead of the actual cut movie of this mini spinoff turned fantasy action Anime (#BURNTHEWITCH) based on "BLEACH" author Tite Kubo's anniversary spin-off work... I hope you are not disappointed. Because we're going to talk about it. Hey, as much as possible, and with as little spoilers as possible. Let's talk about the impression in general instead, the pros and cons of this really mini series. 
I mean, we gotta show off all the cool GIFs of this animation right? In the case where "BLEACH" will suck again in the future haha oops
Macy please step on me haha okay Hayami Saori I tried to ignore your actual voice but
(Animation is as cute as it gets)
What's good about this series #1: Animation. I can't even emphasise any further, hopefully the screenshots below will give it some justice but yeah, it's pleasing to watch. And for the content presented, you be glad it's done this well, so good on you, production. #2: Character backstories. Trust me, that's literally what Kubo-sensei is good at. And we'll talk about the differences between that and character development here but, long story short it's real cool to see Dragons manifest, a light beam just appear and pierce that Dark Dragon in one hit and it's effectively eliminated wtf, and whatever whatever Macy vs Nina shit thank goodness that was a nice story I literally thought it was rivalry considering the tabloid and thought Macy would be like a final boss we have to see kill or be killed here. Trust me, I've thought of how many times she would be dead in the final fight. Talking about fights! #3: Yes the action. It's not a Kubo-sensei production without some fighting (yet) so we be glad it's good. And it's cool too. From summoning normal and Dark Dragons, to chanting spells (we'll talk about its problems later), to the worldview of Front and Reverse London... I'd rather he write an action series worldview and action scene for me because I still haven't manage to reimagine one myself, to be honest. If you watched anything popular today before you watched even "BLEACH", I pity for your lack of appreciation even for this series. Now that pep talk is over Kubo-sensei, let's talk about what was real irritating to me throughout this. 
When I can't get enough of Tite Kubo's lore even though it's a lot of cr*p haha
(I'm comparing it to Noel-chan btw)

(I'm comparing it to Noel-chan btw)
What's bad about this series #1: References of usage from his previous famous title. I mean, I know it's a spin-off, it's kind of a leech off anyways, from I don't really care about the "Soul Society" thing on the banner to maybe how "WB" is also some American entertainment brand if I talk about they will file be a copyright lawsuit (lol) to is that a Hollow mask but actually painted as a mask and we can't sell it on the streets now, but man some things I don't even know why it's in it. I guess it's for the references to the... "popular" series (please, it still is to me, but not to my friend) so things like spell numbers, setting up barriers (really?), and that HQ roundup really is a problem to remember every time I look at it. So seriously man, if this is going to be a series can we rectify those? For HQ just replace with the one guy that is not Bruno just like how "ACCA" did it lol, and just remove those spell numbers. Trust me; just the spell names will already make it cool. And what the f**k is Bruno even talking about is that his own set of spells or what? Well, without much context this wouldn't be easy to criticize on so we'll leave it at so. And no, I'm not going to be a wizard just so I can complete achievements and get money haha okay maybe the latter but still. #2: Character development. Ah now this, because there are also lack of contexts in this, we're not going to poke into it too much but yeah yeah whatever some humans can't see Dragons like seriously, I could use a little less story using Macy and Nina anyways, and why is Bruno the only dude who is pissed off at something which is considered important, now that we've literally reached a stage of no return finding Legendary Dragons with the purpose of eliminating them? Hey, you ask me. #3: I must say I realized I shouldn't have talked about that now, theme song. The soundtrack is great, don't get me wrong. I just don't' get why for such a series we get like, an acoustic tune for the song. I tell you, it was only appropriate as an ending because I only felt it relevant when it played after the whole thing ended. (And yes, if you have read the spin-off that's the part animated) It must be really weird watching halfway and hearing this and be like "What" all of a sudden, you know. Okay, rantings over haha. All in all... man when am I picking up my own series again? Remember, "A Pack of Life"? Come on Tite Kubo, I can write a better story than you haha okay give and take this is just a short animated series. For an animated short though, I would say this is as good as it gets. If you aren't bored of Kubo-sensei's formula for coolness, action, and sometimes ecchi jokes, you won't be too disappointed, just like how I wouldn't be maybe. So yeah, that was a nice break watching "BLEACH" anyways, and as much as I'm comparing this to a series 15 years coming... I would say this is a good thing to watch just as a spin-off. I kind of like it actually, but don't expect fan fiction anytime soon haha I'll just steal the ideas just like how Bruno is trying to steal the bounty of Balgo before it went live lol I'm done (just a moment I have a new Card idea haha here if you haven't read it before, my own work)
Not going to point fingers but we know who is MVP this series
See? Haha
(Kubo-sensei can we tone down on the boob jokes which I liked because of you)
P.S. "I'm glad that whatever is going on with my body is helping you out" Hey resident masochist chill haha "I mean, wearing the same thing as Noel..."  you want to wear the same underwear as Noel too? lol
P.P.S. "Wait, was I acting like someone close to you?" Haha Noel ikr
[TL:DR; I mean, I'm just thankful that this talented black-haired Orihime isn't useless unlike that healer of a flower vase bimbo-]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week... yes there's the Song Awards for Klassic Note 2020 in case you missed it or if you have followed me on Twitter then you should know, but otherwise I do have songs planned to listen to, which I think I'll talk about more next week, along with SPYAIR's new single and Natsukawa Shiina's new single which will start the year for us. Yes, you won't see the next week paragraph because I just said it here. Hey, I just said it here so maybe we'll cover a release a day besides Wednesday because you know new releases day but, uh, I think I'll not list any of them first I don't even know if I will even give them a chance lol so I'll keep it secret for now.

So, for news concerning Twitter and music or not maybe because idolism is taking over my life and "slowly but surely I go on" lol (THE ORAL CIGARETTES joke), we get another SID live video airs on YouTube in a week, I think TrySail is doing a livestream to celebrate their last year's paid online livestream releasing on Blu-Ray and no I'm not buying it, THE ORAL CIGARETTES' live video on YouTube is still available until tomorrow and has English subtitles apparently, and SCANDAL announced a new single to come out on March for their anniversary but I forgot how many years I lost count. Hey, we have quite a line-up, huh. You see, the problem with so many livestreams and releasing past live videos on YouTube is... I don't have the time to watch them haha we shall see I've got singles and albums to give too so




And I'm good for this first weekend. I'm sure BURN THE WITCH was a great start for this year, you know, as a warm-up, instead of watching this last week because I have no mood to do so and we've got enough songs for last year already lol my computer is screaming again haha I think it's the hard drive. Please, dear PC, tank it for another couple of weeks; your replacement is arriving soon. And maybe then we'll spend some time sorting out my digital data- Ah. My work leave's over. *laughs* Cya guys next week then, and until next time... can I bring this new chair of mine to work? It has a built-in back rest man it's cool China sh*t lol maybe I should bring in the back rest for my old chair then haha yeah

P.S. And... our VTuber of the week because I can't take afternoon naps is... Uruha Rushia!! You can find out about her by searching her on YouTube because translators be out there but, I like a lonely yandere who has a boob complex lmao that's how I got into Anime "OreImo" lol not really though
