We can only get sadder; this isn't Paradise, after all.

I feel like this is rather appropriate in defining what life is, but do I sound cynical even saying it this way. But hey, you can think however you want, if it ain't your thing it might be to others, and that's where we draw the difference in society.

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #03

Four shows this season, huh. And my bro says the voice actress fest that is "Spy Classroom" is good? No. *laughs* Also, I rather take a harem romance with all of them in it in real life and this is not that-

Welcome back. I feel like today is not just your typical Sunday where I get sad over work (lol), but suffice it to say it's sadder since I'm going to spend THREE DAYS in the wild from tomorrow so happy birthday dad; I'm glad we didn't decide to have your birthday dinner on Monday lmao

That's the sad stuff dealt with, so let's see if I'll have more sad stuff lest the new shows below disappoint. No, Shiina-san, not you. *giggles*

Note to self: Sign up for TrySail fanclub if ran out of Shiina-san images to use- Dammit. *laughs* (For measure I won't post fanclub digital content. I know some will but)




アニメ Kyokou Suiri
"There's reason that transcends reason..." Ooooh boy here we go again haha
Oh yeah Kotoko-chan I would like to do some suspicious things with you at my place. *wink* In this new episode of a series I didn't expect to see a season two but here we are (#KyokouSuiri13), wow is that a wholesome episode of what is basically a summary of the first season and the series itself. So, in case you have no idea what this is... hmm, in a nutshell it's just like High Court, but you can lie all the way through. *laughs* You have to lie ALL the way though, just like how in this episode we have the manager with a lie about him having a pet that is illegal to raise in Japan. And when I mean all the way, that just means that you have to lie to everyone, including the audience. So, story goes this time around some spirit heard of thumping noises at night and feared of it which, reasonable, it was found out that in the apartment above there was a very suspicious placement of a doll which even the manager feared. Yep, in case you have been reading the above very carefully, you might be thinking I'm contradicting myself, and that's the whole point: Kotoko-chan essentially the spiritual medium and ruler between worlds, is supposed to appease her fellow spirits with utmost reasoning and logic. In this case, she lied about the doll existing even though that's the truth we will talk about getting rid of that later, but instead covered it with the manager having some weird kink of rearing a kodomo dragon or something. *laughs* Hey, which story is spicier, right? *giggles* Also, because the manager would be the only one responsible, they can say whatever they want about him. Well, unless the spirit itself dared to go find out the truth itself, of which it didn't, which brings us to the truth. After leaving the spirits behind, her boyfriend/buddy/contract Kuro-senpai then mentioned about the idea of not telling the truth behind the discovery of the doll, and created a lie based on the manager. So here we go, it's upon these levels of lies if you have watched season one you would know of the Steel Lady (umph Sumipe haha) and Kotoko had to put layers of lies to let the Internet community come to some conclusion so the supporters of the demon would cease and it can be more easily taken down. Not that it's a problem here, but considering that is a doll which is a cursed seal meant to... uh, kill nearby spirits, that thing should be glad it didn't decide to investigate the apartment above. Which brings us to the second half of the episode, the fight. The gang of spirits talked about the beauty of Kotoko-chan (haha she cute) but also, the monster that is Kuro-senpai. So, for some background, he came from a family of people who eats weird food so yeah my place too haha, and got fed as a kid, a kudan (defined as a human-faced bovine, ugh) and a mermaid. He survived the ordeal of the mythical powers of consuming the two types of meat, so he gained the power of future sight AND immortality, making him basically invincible but also, looking worse than me as a human if you are in the spiritual world. *laughs* Meaning that, as long as he can see a future of him not dying, he can cling on to it, sacrifice his mermaid body which won't kill him, and be revived instantly. Of course time is a major factor in achieving that feat so let's hope that doesn't get him this season. *wink* All in all, great way to bring us back in, I really thought they will touch on the romance parts a bit too but that's fine I hope your motivation to watch that isn't clingy Kotoko-chan because it is mine. *laughs* Other than that, we see a cast of new characters from the opening animation, we know one of them will be voiced by Yuuki Aoi... and that's all I know. We shall see how well this season holds up, just like Kotoko's logic and reasoning...?
What we are here for:
Spirits playing cards lmao
What we are here for:
HELL YEAH CUTE GIRL PLZ
What we are here for:
NONONONO
(lol)
P.S. "(Kotoko) is elegance and beauty defined." My top reason for watching this Anime haha is that ayakashi me? *laughs*

アニメ Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai
"I have less presence than other people" DUDE THAT IS ME haha
Wow, okay dude, you might be even more cringe than me. *laughs* Well, after having a girl who notices you? I don't think so bro your life is changing right now. In this first episode of a series where deja vu is merely an opinion (#KuboSan01), I don't think we can understand mobs here lol it's not what you think they are, so maybe Calefare might be more of a familiar term. No? Oh, it's a Singapore only thing? Oops, what have I done. *laughs* Hey, ignore me when I say stuff you don't care because no one cares which is the motif of this blog anyways lol, we talk about being invisible. And I don't mean by having a superpower, no, this is just your typical romance slice-of-life Anime, not fantasy or supernatural elements. It's just that Shiraishi here has a human problem. Unlike Komi-san who can't communicate, this guy can, and this is HIS ONLY WAY of being noticed by people. Yeah, it's as if he is invisible, is the shtick of this series. Ironically though, as you can see by the intro of this episode, 1x Kubo Nagisa noticed him. Obviously being the opposite of him, popular and smart and everything, I still can't make it why this girl would see him more than twice a year given Shiraishi's reputation of being so background it's like dealing with the CSS background style attribute with a screen reader BOOM programming joke. *dabs* Nonetheless, the quest to figuring out how far Shiraishi has to do to be noticed by... damn even camera AI, sounds like a good challenge for Kubo-san already. For the dude, it's just a juggle between the consequences of not listening to Kubo-san and the real threat of actually getting noticed in class even though the reality is likely that both won't get him any attention whatsoever. Get it? That's the joke. Basically no risk, better than trust bonds. *laughs* Or maybe it's the other away around how did the teacher who looks like Ao-chan's perv author dad know? *giggles* Anyways, the rules of this "showdown" is more like an experiment, really, and following a give and take rule set by Kubo-san every time, Shiraishi is just dragged into her world where she takes her advances on, spoiler alert, the guy she likes, one step at a time. Hey, she saw him already; That's more than just a first step. *laughs* I mean, not talking and avoid being seen is one thing, this guy managed to avoid everyone besides the one girl who will give a damn about him. Hey, tell me not being attractive is also one of his virtues. Like, people think seeing him is good luck but have you guys ever thought of chatting him up though? *silence* Well, at least he got his manga and video games with him. Welp. I wonder if anyone will notice him if he hangs out on forums or online chat. *laughs* I mean, I've got noticed just from a livestream in months so I wonder what are his odds. *giggles* Maybe that's why, maybe, taking a selfie with the most popular student in class will be that much more exciting, above everything else. And just this, I think, is already making this series worth a watch. I will have to swallow up the theme songs though, maybe I'll go with Kana-chan first as opening I guess, who also voices the main girl. (Hanazawa Kana of course, married woman voicing a JK lol cringe) All in all... hmm I think we have enough hints as to what will happen of this relationship in school compared to the other one I watched last week. *wink* Not a bad idea after all considering even Shiraishi will also make jokes about himself haha, still could not get around anything this Kubo-san wants of him... but as she said, she's all filled up. See, Takagi-san is the one having fulfilment issues, okay? This girl knows what she's doing. *giggles* And if ignoring everything else about potential romance, Shiraishi, why not take this chance to gain a friend? She'll definitely notice you more than your mom haha why I can already imagine the wedding photos of only the bride BRO YOU GOTTA DRESS UP AS A CLOWN NO BLACK SUIT FOR YOU lol more jokes next week I guess
References you may have missed:
You may know of LINE but maybe not photo effects app C162 B612
(Yeah also ZOZOTOWN)
References you may have missed:
I think that's a Sword Art Online reference
References you may have missed:
That's a hint for the final episode haha
P.S. Did you see the opening animation with all the Kubo-san cosplay?? I'M IN lol I'm easy also Shiraishi he said "soft" twice when he got sat on lmao don't think I didn't notice that *laughs*
P.P.S. Mom? I'm back home?? MOM??? CAN YOU NOT!?? Haha I will now treasure replies from my parents when I reach home
[And I can't get enough of Kubo-san so here's a montage haha]
Never seen a girl this happy sitting on a dude tbh
*laughs*
This series in a nutshell lol
Here's cute Anime girl you're welcome
Super tempted to make this ok GIF so that's replacing my stickers hehe

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs
"A detective needs some level of protection" Yeah Fukuzawa what happened
Man, maybe Ranpo-san can't appreciate the art of... well, anything. *laughs* Unless it's straightforward? Man, you allergic to entertainment, bro? *laughs* So yeah, in the new episode where us idiots uncover the truth lol (#BungouStrayDogs39), according to Ranpo-san even at the start of this series, he "has the ability" to find out the truth. Well, this is now accented by the fact that Fukuzawa had to tell him about who he is, basically. Also, because he's young and easy to deceive? *laughs* Hey, we gotta hit him on a lie somehow to make this work, so why not? Now that we got this out of the way, maybe we can talk about the actual threat that is going to happen in the play, shall we? So, story. Sorry if I had to take quotes from Ranpo-san himself, but since he did it so well I might as well take a leaf from him since I'm such an IDIOT- This play is about reversal of roles. About humans versus angels, and how that will change around. The main guy we have seen last week is the leader of this... fictional cult? Yeah, and of course, is on the precipice of revealing the reversal of roles for the play itself, you know, angels getting their vengeance and killing humans and stuff blah blah. Problem is, Ranpo-san is just rattling this in the theatre floor where people paid tickets to watch and that's kinda bad for PR, so Fukuzawa decided to give him an illusion he can deal with: By telling him his detective powers were an Ability. Maybe that's how Ability users and the term came about which will be interesting to talk about with respect to current timeline, but let's leave it at that we are still in a flashback. *giggles* Seeing as Ranpo-san is a kid and he knows better to believe in that lie of a truth, he took it upon himself to BE the greatest detective of all time since you know, technically he is since we are all idiots in his mind now. *laughs* Anyways, the murder happened, people were shocked to see that it is "real", and in the second half of the play Ranpo set out to reveal the people involved in this supposed crime. Turns out, it's just the main actor wanting to show how real death can be to the audience, but of course his fans probably mostly female in demographics are already shocked by his fake death even, drinking that much water after being drawn of fresh blood won't help make any of us forget about that fact. Yeah, technically a psycho, dude. *laughs* Actor, my a**, and shout out to the first ever movie which showed faeces on camera too. Epitome of acting and drama, but probably why we have age ratings today. So long story short, Ranpo-san was great he figured everything out even those people who think he's a genius didn't know he is just smart and not Ability user lol, STILL did not figure out how the playwright who cooperated with the main actor was actually killed in his writing room. Yeah. Remember there was supposed to be a murder? Happened now. *cringe* All in all... man we are not done yet, ladies and gentlemen. We now know that arresting someone who might be interfering with this play might yet create another problem, and as Ranpo-san sits in the police car with an overenthusiastic policeman... you can see where this goes, yeah. He won't die, no, but let's see if ANYONE will believe this dude is an Ability user and that he is worth getting rid of. Haha see you then I'm so stupid I need to watch this again to understand if I did this write up correctly lol
Feels bad for Ranpo who can't get drama also Fukuzawa bringing his grandson lol
And thus, the glasses were born.
P.S. "Would a baby who can't hold its head up ever despise another?" Hmm, don't quite get it, but great point.
P.P.S. "They are called "Ability Users"" Bro this is a play, you can't say that haha

Now that we are done with fake angels, next up... *laughs* *dabs*

アニメ Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken
"If looking good is all it takes for other people to develop feelings, then shouldn't you develop feelings for me?" That's true dear girl we are halfway there already lol
Man, we went from "are you okay" last week to "what the f are you doing here" lol that attitude needs to change, bro. *laughs* In this new episode of angels who kill but through cuteness hehe (#OtonariNoTenshiSama02),  I guess we starting off with another stoning at the park. *giggles* Please, not smoking, as in, sitting there. Really trying to pretend, huh, this girl. Like, even when some acquaintance comes by? You won't ask for help? If I sprained my leg even if it's not for saving a cat from a tree haha, and someone I know passed by? I would still ask for some help. Or worst case, limp my way home to be honest but heck, the guy figured it out. Sasuga Amane-kun, still best ikemen in this series that prince from the other class in school can go kill himself. *laughs* Sadly I hardly knew how to treat injuries considering I only scraped my knee the one time I went cycling with my family and my sis had to help me so I'm already screwed and doomed to be alone forever. *sob* Anyways haha, Amane sacrificed his sweatpants for school for such a gentlemanly deed, so clap hands for him, dude. Girls, find some guy who will keep your house clean, okay? Not this one here haha *dabs* We got reminded of it again after Shiina came in (HELL YEAH lol) with the thanks and usual dinner leftovers lol, but Amane thought eating freshly cooked will be great because maybe he missed the cooking back home? I mean, who doesn't? *points at self* Yeah, say it in front of the girl, dude. That's how you get to go to her place you can get her to come to your place to cook??? Okay, normally this stuff happens only 6 episodes in and we are already doing it? Sure dude, they have no feelings for each other- It's like hiring a cook, bro. She's not your prospective wife or whatsoever. *giggles* I might be considering the prospects of Iwami Manaka being a wife already so don't mind me. Guy gets jealous of friend's girlfriend because yeah we can all do with a partner at some point *silence* still did not get more than a relationship with a neighbour who has been cooking for you and actually noticed you because you rank in the tops in school? Hey Amane, say dropping that student ID card was a mistake. Why did they even print birthdays on that though? *laughs* Amane then realized you know, gotta do a hired classmate and neighbour a favour (lmao) and treat her to something, but not like he has all the experience buying gifts for friends I bet he doesn't even for his bro right here haha I did it so I'm better than him *dabs*, instead asked the bro's girlfriend to help. Well, burning a lot of money in the process he gotta bribe all of them first. But turns out, Shiina liked the gifts, so all is well, excuse me, mission complete. *giggles* All in all... I think I know why I said I can't clap last week. It's because I need it to play half the speed so I can savour all of this not dating stuff and THEN do the clapping. *laughs* It's that good. You know how Amane says he has to say how good the food is as he eats? This is the same with my opinion of this series so far just that I can only talk about the girl. *giggles* Ah hey, I'm not interested in dudes I'm a hetero male just so you know. *laughs* Listening to the ending song and then realizing it's a cover song from MONGOL800 I'm like how is that old dude writing songs for Anime now lol, and many more coming our way considering this isn't Iwami-san's first cover song for Anime hehe been there too previously for Anime "Tada-kun", it looks like this whole thing is progressing as slowly as it is smoothly, and I kind of like that actually. Will whatever Shiina-san say come true for their relationship eventually? Will any of their actions hit each other as love-inducing? I think we are starting with the guy first, actually. Then maybe we will deal with the blockhead of a girl haha oh well we have episodes to go through so we can wait we got Teresa-san laid 6 years ago already this is just history repeating itself lmao
[TL:DR; I can't wait for this girl to be so clingy with the guy I can't even HAHAHAHA didn't eat a kudan btw]
Well we aired at the wrong time of the year so remind me of her birthday in 11 months lol
This week in Anime violence we have:
Not even wearing heels and can kick dudes in the nuts?
She is to be feared haha
It's like they know when to put in the effects haha kawaii
P.S. "Take off your tights and let me see your foot" I promise you Yomu-sensei is at a corner gyrating right now I can't even *laughs* Not a porno by the way haha
P.P.S. "Well, I'll show Shiina-san what I'm made of!" Dude you can't say that, it's reserved for fans- Oh dammit selfie huh haha we need to be careful we have added a lot already we still have 10 weeks and her blog isn't a photo gallery so... remind me if I miss one of them without an image, thanks. Sorry for repeats though I won't remember by next week also

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week in Klassic Note... I mean, we are only on the 2nd week of actual listening to songs so... I did give Hitsujibungaku's EP from 2017 though but I did find some interest in indie them more than major label them somehow, and instead of the one I heard of in the YouTube video mentioned last week, I ended up giving other songs in the release. See? Mood affects music reviews, people. I was sadder that week. *silence* Other than that, I did listen to Gotch's new song which is a collaboration apparently but I'm just kinda annoyed by the excessive low-pitched... rap? Yeah, so we'll see if this can survive next week before I add it in. 

Well, new time for music on Twitter! I think after that two week drop this one will be shorter, I promise. *giggles* Kroi's new music video for their digital single is very meh I guess I'm just not into their quirky style after all, we might be done with them already. KaroeRana's new music video for Anime "Kyokou Suiri" is definitely interesting in itself considering the last time I heard of her was a love song. It'll carry the Anime series, I'm at least confident of that. Taketatsu Ayana's new music video is definitely disappointing on the song side but then again why does the video feature a kid is beyond my comprehension, so remind me to reset my brain when the single drops in March. Nostalgia drops from Tsuji Shion and RYTHEM in ASMR apparently so if you are keen to walk back a decade please help yourself. Otherwise, you should watch Hanazawa Kana's new music video for Anime "Kubo-san" which I gotta say despite companion composer Kitagawa-san at the helm did not make this any better than Anison fare so give me a couple of weeks and I'll see if it's this for DIALOGUE+'s new music video that I have to give in March. *ugh* mol-74's new song will drop next week in case you aren't aware, and will symbolize their move into an independent label. Fuchigami Mai's new music video is great not because of just the song itself but it's as if this half past 30-year-old has gotten a boyfriend and it's funny to me haha we should not laugh at others. TrySail's new song is for Anime once again and I wonder when it will not be. miwa's new song will be out next week which was for her upcoming Valentine's Day concept EP, aptly titled "14th February" because you know. And last but not least SIX LOUNGE's new music video isn't too bad it is for Anime anyways so my expectations will drop but it's still very them so it's fine by me. And finally, hot off the press, Minase Inori will release her new single in April along with her recent live tour I guess, but it looks like some Anime level stuff already so wee shall see then if that is true.

So next week... next week... *laughs* So yeah, nothing much next week so I'll be in the search for not this season's Anime theme songs I hope, maybe more Hitsujibungaku depending on my mood... starting tomorrow can we just move on? *sob*




How you like my intertwined Anime references this week, eh? *laughs* Yeah, maybe should avoid that a little more we should walk in fresh-minded so we can have a better opinion of Anime without knowing that Itou Miku is somewhere in there. *giggles* First time, by the way, we all have our first times. *laughs* Okay I gotta go I don't want to publish this blog post in camp. *silence* See you guys then, and until next time... let's just hope I will be happier by then- Didn't you promise yourself, me, that 2023 will be happier? We are already failing not even one month in dude I truly hope the upcoming photobook reviews will compensate- I even found a game Dorfromantik to play yesterday and I CANNOT EVEN PLAY IT NOW!!! WHAT THE F-

The Dream Record 20230112

Okay okay this one I HAVE to write down it was so good I can remember a lot of it now so let's do it we have references from places I don't even know:

"We were at a theme park finishing our rides until we missed one as we see the rides close one by one. (It was featuring office chairs hopping through bumps on the ground in pairs?) We were like why not and decided to form rows of two to try it out. But there was a check on wearing accessories like rings in order to prevent accidents, hinting on those who don't on the same row? The first row both had accessories so that was fine. Second row only I had a ring (which I don't IRL) and the row behind me only RumiRumi had rings on her right hand. As such, we both moved to the same row. But then, the organizer decided to move us around to reorganize us instead, and I promptly grabbed her hand and moved her in front of me.

"Ah but I don't want to let you go", I said (in Japanese) while grabbing on to both her hands, of which she then came up with many reasons to shake me off including talking about how she would only attract ugly men and I referred to myself (lol) and I kept saying how much I wanted her until she eventually gave up. (I wish I can remember the whole conversation but) I embraced her and she did the same too.

I then woke up (in my dreams) sleeping in embrace with her, tucked nicely with my head aptly placed on her left shoulder, just enough space for me to breathe. The regular stress of a headache was nowhere to be found: It was as if being in embrace with her did the trick. It also felt like she was still sleeping, so I did not dare to move lest I wake her up. But I felt like this would be a moment to remember so I struggled to find my phone within reach and took tons of selfies with me and her on bed while a live video(?) of what looked like ClariS performing on Christmas was playing on the background of my phone (lol). I then sent some of them promptly to my buddy to show him of my current situation."

And yep, of course I checked my phone again when I actually woke up and... Man, Ookubo Rumi I wish we were together I'll wear as many rings on my fingers as you want me to. *giggles* Aw that was a great time wasn't it? I wish I remembered the conversation I really tried to recall but as I write this I forgot so thanks for writing it this detailed, me. Have a great Friday, everyone. May your dreams be half as good as mine haha *dabs*

P.S. References in this dream are likely I only recently went to a theme park last month and that's why I was reminded with Christmas stuff but don't ask me why ClariS maybe their winter track cover album hit me, and I was putting Aizawa Saya wallpapers all week so you tell me. *laughs* Maybe that is Saya-chan though I did hug not her (ie. bolster) real right last night. *giggles* I didn't exactly know who it is I did wake up saying RumiRumi between my lips though hehe

The chairs reminded me of work though and I'm currently outside of office for two weeks so *silence* haha

Sunday 8 January 2023

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #02

Well Twitch streamer burnt my Sunday morning and tomorrow's gonna suck so let's not talk about any of those, shall we? *laughs* Can we also not put this as intro I have to read it and it's just

Hey, welcome back to my world of music and Anime! Sorry for the lack of the former last week we are just one day into the new year it's hard to find songs to listen to considering we are 15 years in and I can't stop rejecting melodies- But that's the reality dude, so we better do something about this before the month ends and I have to deal with a storeroom of new releases I may or may not like lol

So let's! We got action, we got romance again because I can't get around the fact that I want love but still want to be single-




アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs
"This is a story of a man's struggles and his growth... and of parenting" Wait what was that last part?
"From now on, I work alone" is literally me when I walk out of the house. *giggles* Hey, I may share some similarities with the Prez so don't mind me. So about the new season of this wonderful action series (#BungouStrayDogs38) I guess we are starting with flashbacks. Well, flashback in flashbacks if they are keeping at this rate lol but yeah, it's about Fukuzawa, the Prez of the Detective Agency. And Ranpo, the first apprentice, what looks like. And he's too real dude. *laughs* I meant Ranpo. He's so real, he will see through me even if I'm watching a video of him in it. *laughs* So, let's talk about why. Fukuzawa was still working for the police (instead of WITH the police, take note) as an assassin and is taking on another job of a murder done very recently, and looking around at a dude filing papers on the ground lol, a culprit apprehended and placed inside a room all on his own, separated by a bunch of papers because they are on the ground. *laughs* Well, even if you aren't Ranpo with his deduction Ability (or not, he doesn't need it) to see the truth, you may have figured how could some top gun assassin sit in a room all by himself without any law enforcement. So yeah, to be fair, I am also close to detective material but Ranpo will expose me for doing weird stuff in my room like opening packages haha, so we shall leave it at that. But Ranpo wouldn't, as seen he was just here for an interview from the guy who was the victim at the scene of the crime. And the real culprit is sorting papers in a lab coat. Dude, who would've figured that out if you aren't a high schooler? *laughs* So yeah, after just treating him to a meal Fukuzawa soon realized this kid has potential of exposing everyone's lies including his lol too real dude, so maybe killing him first might be a good option- I'm more surprised why isn't he dead at this point. Bro, you know how society works? *laughs* Maybe I know too much about how society works too. But hey, that's why you are on your own finding a job and never sitting on one for long. Man, imagine if I talked cr*p *ahem* about the truth of the co-workers around me. I will not be seeing the day of light. *laughs* Despite all the seriousness in the mystery and we are already embarking on another job in the theatre, the comedy is clearly seen by just Ranpo all by himself lol comedy relief we call him, but also that he is just super observant and has vast knowledge about events that are happening without even looking at the newspaper longer than I do which is none. *dabs* Just that, is already a good enough reason to keep him by your side, dear swordsman. Ironically is that, is where Ranpo will be then be of use and/or have a reason to get out of working for someone someday. *wink* All in all, we are at a stage where truth drop here, cat transfiguration god isn't here yet haha if you would recall from the previous season where the forces had to play peace in Yokohama because of him, so there really isn't much to protect for now apart from maybe just this kid who can solve mysteries and why he himself isn't opening a Detective Agency just yet. *giggles* Hey maybe he will someday, he might need some protection if he reaches that stage. *wink* Too much to talk about just in flashbacks, but impressive setup for the story so far ruined by Ranpo-san's straightforwardness haha, so let's see who's the criminal who will appear right on their doorstep. Literally. It's not a threat, guys; This theatre action is real. See you then.
MFW my mom wants me to go downstairs to help her carry her stuff
(lol too real)
MFW I want second serving at a friend's house but held back haha
Ranpo is just too real dude, I should stop watching this lol
P.S. "I had an argument with the supervisor, so I exposed all of their past affairs and they kicked me out" Haha that's some level of revenge
P.P.S. "No wonder why you didn't last any longer on any job" Yeah because Ranpo is just talking sh*t about others lol it's the truth bro what's wrong with that haha

アニメ Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken
"When did you become such a softie?" When I see an angel? Since I was born, dude. *giggles*
I promised to not give an Anime with a long title but look what we have gotten ourselves into. *laughs* Also, I'm pretty sure this guy's faking it. *laughs* In this new series adapted from a web novel (#OtonariNoTenshiSama01) hmm how should I even talk about this. Like, even in the first scene the circumstances are already weak to start with. But yeah, considering I've seen feathers flying past my face into a girl in a playground in the rain big enough I have my umbrella open, really makes you wonder how this all even happened. Let's just say it's a matter of circumstance, okay? Anime needs stuff like this. And even so, the reaction from the girl is very bland. I mean, the thanks is there, formality, but dude, I really expected something more upfront. Well, I guess what happened from here on is more than one would expect and that's why the title drop of making the guy even more useless meeting this "angel", but yeah, feels like onee-san taking care of some dude who doesn't care about his life, right? Feels like it to me though. And maybe just because of this, seeing him eating what was that, energy drinks for dinner? I mean, can it be considered eating? *laughs* So maybe yeah even if I lived alone I would still do takeaways which will explain how his place looked this bad but that is really no reason to not take out the trash... man, is this worse than "Toradora!" with Taiga-chan? *laughs* Maybe it's the reverse of that lol so Shiina-san here (*gets crazy deja vu*) just can't help but help out this guy who can't take care of himself considering this guy is her neighbour. Well to be honest? Only like, my mom would give a damn so this is quite a thing to return the favour of I guess. Hey, just an umbrella, by the way. *giggles* But yeah, what I actually see in this series though, is that they may have just dumped an ikemen to this girl who doesn't care about love. I speak from experience. *laughs* Because think about it: Some guy just appeared in her life and she wants to help out all she can even like, making him food on the daily? I mean, are those even just leftovers? *giggles* It's not like if we can see ulterior motives here, but even if you dump in all the lore that the girl is the most popular thing in school and he wouldn't even care... The girl is probably only interested in you!! Uh, I mean, let's not spoil that part yet, right? I'm not a detective. *laughs* And please don't say this is a romantic comedy as I continue to point out stuff that is as disappointing as the characters themselves, I would say. Falling down landing on the wrong position (lol turn her around, bro), the guy Amane saying Shiina's cooking is good and the girl replying that everyone can make this much when I can't even cook for sh*t, and just coincidentally returning the box back every evening to get another box of leftovers for days? Hey, tell me the girl isn't trying to get herself laid. *laughs* I know, this might be a misunderstanding for all we know. We may have already set the genre for this series wrongly, I might add. All in all... it feels like every time I want to clap my hands, one of my hands is missing. *laughs* Is this enough of an analogy? Haha I hope so because this really feels like me watching some light novel adaptation again with monologues and weak story pacing. Yes, like "TsureKano". That's why I'm worried, I'm not prepared to watch another one of these again. More like I don't know what to watch this season, but somehow, it's not this. Hmm... maybe we try a couple more episodes this animation isn't making me tick yet I can tell you that much I'm not even THIS lazy lol try living by yourself first, me.
[TL:DR; "I can't catch my breath with you staring and putting me on edge" You know, girl, maybe that's love? Haha ikr please we ONLY simp on Shiina-chan]
Not as great as Kouno Marika haha thanks for trying though
Okay you cute haha this is good enough
P.S. "...but I'm here by choice, so don't mind me" In the rain out in the playground, huh. *silence* Anyone wanna help? It's a cute Anime girl haha *shrugs*
P.P.S. "You need to get some proper rest and let your immune system do its job, okay?" Hey Shiina-san, you have no idea how my body works that thing is constantly on holiday, dude. My immune system. *laughs*
[Don't get me wrong though, as much as everything else is disappointing, getting Iwami Manaka to voice a cute girl is just *blessed*]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Wow I did not do much to start the year unlike the previous years, but considering we don't have much new songs to cover for the year for now I might have to find more to listen to. Meanwhile, thanks to Anime "Romantic Killer" I've listened to YURiKA's 1st album by the way, singing Anime theme songs here and there for FIVE years and THEN got an album? The Japan music industry is harsh. Anyways, I did give it a listen and picked up a couple of songs which are clearly her best in the list so far and are Anime theme songs but aren't winning compared to the one I've given her for Anime "Houseki no Kuni" all those years ago. Yes, it has come full circle. I've given her in Anime, I'm giving her because of Anime once again. Man, she needs more recognition her singing voice is great reminds me of fhana? *laughs* fhana's new album is not great though, I gave it a listen and I gave up. *laughs* I also did give an assortment of songs a listen including *deep breath* yama-san, Kitani Tatsuya which I promised myself last year, DYGL, DENIMS, a flood of circleyorushika and even anewhite music videos... all without a new song added to my music library. *dabs* I need a break from Klassic Note haha I only linked one song for each artist but I swear I listened to more than one song each before I moved on

I literally missed last week on the news on Twitter just because so let's catch up on ALL the new stuff from last year to this year and beyond! You ready?

Hitsujibungaku's new song is kinda meh I didn't have much feels on their melody by the way I'm totally in for their emo style any time of the day. Fuchigami Mai's new music video in collaboration with a vocaloid artist is actually not too bad but we will get to her concept album when the time comes end of the month. Okay maybe not when there's talking in the song- Why is this a trend? *sigh* Natsukawa Shiina's end of year live revealed top songs fans wanted her to sing and not surprisingly her 3rd single topic song "Parade" was top. For comparison her new single "Sasakure" which had the same style, was 10th. That's a OOF. cinema staff's new song is a mess as always but that's a good thing since we will listen to it again on the next major release, whenever it appears. KANA-BOON's new song can go screw itself the last thing I'll expect from you as always is rap. *laughs* Amamiya Sora announced her first self-written EP which basically means they ran out of budget to hire composers and/or lyricists to provide her new songs lol. The only reason why I would mention Hololive again because VTuber Omaru Polka did a cover song of Polkadot Stingray's recent album topic song, which gained the attention of vocalist Shizuku. That's all. *laughs* I much prefer the latter's deeper voice though, so can't relate. VELTPUNCH's new live digest on YouTube from their 25th anniversary live from two months ago was the best thing I've seen ending last year so let's hope the recent single will appear on music streaming someday. Fingers crossed, people. I definitely did not miss THE ORAL CIGARETTES live and documentary YouTube videos because it was super damn complicated and the only way you would not miss them all is to be subbed to their YouTube channel. Live are removed after premiere, and wordy documentaries remain. How do they even get fans? *laughs* So yeah, nothing to talk about here moving on. *giggles* Kitou Akari's new music video (we are in the new year now haha) is just a cute Anime opening theme song so who can say no to that? It just has its kinks for Anime, problems I won't mention here because idolism and I like her. *laughs* We will give chance when it comes by next month. Hopefully I will have time to watch SHE'S in a live that is streamed on YouTube because that'll be rad but it starts early evening so I may miss it coming home next week, who knows. RYTHEM's upcoming livestream is in two weeks where they will talk about more of the group's best album after dealing with their solo albums over the new year... for people who go to the live events only, of course. I guess music streaming fans do not matter. *sigh* SIX LOUNGE's new song for Anime series "Hero Academia" isn't too bad it's as simple and cool as they have always been, I won't even complain. This is hard to consolidate since I don't even watch the show but Anime "NieR:Automata" theme songs are from none other than Aimer-san for opening and amazarashi for ending. Aimer actually sounds very suitable in this to be honest it fits the heavy and emo style of the series itself, not that it'll be my cup of tea just yet. amazarashi, on the other hand, will pre-release the new song on digital next week so stay tuned for that I guess. Oh yeah also let me get this out of the way lol, also in the new year Aimer-san announced her marriage to what was a music composer? So yeah, even if you have lost your voice one can still get laid. *silence* Moving on haha, Yoru no Honki Dance's new live video is only nothing short but rad so go listen to it yourself. Anime "Bungou Stray Dogs" also had their music videos run live so SCREEN mode's new music video for opening is really meh from what I've heard so far so I'm just hoping LUCKLIFE's new music video can fill in the gap. Maybe the other music video too, eh? Yeah why not they are both good. (I look at the view count difference and I'm already... haha) Man, and only now we can talk about Uesaka Sumire's new music video for Anime?? Ah hey apparently off-beat songs are a trend, so you tell me. It isn't bad though, not that I'm complaining about it at least. Yes, fanservice did help carry this on lol this first-person view is fantastic haha

Okay maybe we not skip a week of this next year. *laughs*

So next week, since I literally just listened to a Hitsujibungaku live video on YouTube which was from their indie days before their major debut album in 2020 one of the songs got me so I will give Hitsujibungaku's EP from 2017 a listen. And if I can't get anything out of this then maybe I'll listen to the 2018 album.




I didn't watch a lot of Anime this week but damn did I listen to way too many songs just today alone. I mean, look at the above. *laughs* And looks like someone subbed the "Takagi-san" movie so maybe I'll shell out a night to watch this...? Haha good joke, me, you don't have the time. I'll do something up next week with the other half of the lot appearing. I'll see about it. *laughs* See you guys then, and until next time... looks like the only thing that is going smoothly so far is my gacha luck in the DOAXVV game. *laughs* Ah hey, those were some good luck out there even though I didn't get the event one, okay? I'll take those chances over winning REAL money. *dabs* Maybe we spend more time to blog, yes? We have another public holiday coming up in two weeks so let's work towards that. Live to see me write something here then, would you?

P.S. This is an answer to a blog post two days ago:
I am buying instant noodles from a Japanese grocery store using a voice actor collaboration eco bag.
I have transcended many levels of inception to reach this.
*laughs*
P.P.S. You think it's a good joke if every time in these posts I mention Shiina I have to put an image of her in? Haha it's just a surname dude Shiina in the Anime's case is not a given name (lmao)

The Klassic Note Welfare Package 2022 Edition: The Roundup

Haha 50 completed items on my Google Keep note for the year lol that's how much I've been contributing to Japan's economy NO WONDER they want to take my 10% lol

Hey, it's that time of the year again, and no we aren't quite done with last year yet so hopefully this is it, this is my personal reference of what sins I've committed in 2022! *laughs* That or I also get a chance to talk about what advances I've done in digital platform (which will be further elaborated in my upcoming birthday post *wink*) since they can't exactly be reviewed on this blog because then I'll be taking screenshots and this will become a pirating site which... no that was not my intention even though I'm halfway there without this already with Anime lmao

Ignoring piracy haha we are not encouraging that here, let's talk about how much I've given back! Hey, at least I gave back; People on the Internet just take everything these days it's stupid to compare myself to them... or me 3 years ago lmao it all started with 3 photobooks dude

Miscellaneous ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐⭐(12)

Wow I definitely bought a lot more variety of item types this year, huh. Hard to determine what is uniquely different and also I bought stationaries so I put those under miscellaneous. And shout out to the one shirt purchase even though I said I should NEVER buy another shirt- Don't worry, I'm not going to wear it just because. I want Ayano to wear it in front of me without pants-


MOST WORTH ITEM BASED ON ITEM VALUE
My best impressions for the year are either that marupi gacha Raffle the second one specifically where I won the top prize and got the most amount of stuff (including digital content apparently as lowest tier) out of it based on a fixed gacha price of 600 yen per attempt, and which I normally did 10 because you will get an extra bromide. A close second would be Horie Yui's tour pamphlet, I would say, because damn is that A LOT of content in a small book. Might be small, but the content is worthy of a photobook itself. Same price as everything else in the market by the way.


LEAST WORTH ITEM BASED ON ITEM VALUE
And I guess, yeah, the marupi gacha Raffle the most recent one is probably also worth the least worth considering I got a buttload of duplicates and have not yet given them out so it's just in my room now. *silence* I should stop doing this. *laughs* So far into the new year we aren't doing it yet so that's good news. *laughs* I wouldn't consider the miscellaneous stuff to be least worth as they are necessary for storage here and there, so probably in the pamphlet department we also had some disappointments, including Kouno Marika's and Hanazawa Kana's- Damn that one was not great because again, like, less than 3 outfits means it's already weak production at fault. Oh yeah, Naobou's book is also a great scam now that I think about it haha


BOLDEST ATTEMPT
I would like to mention for the any number of special items I bought this year could be an attempt from the norm. From Inorin live tour goods (which will have a follow-up this year *wink*) to even bags for literally no purpose whatsoever or even a fan as a free gift with purchase from Marinka's live tour but *ahem* probably the boldest attempts must be mentioned are the digital domain. *silence* I'm thinking if I can say this. *laughs* Thanks to my friend I got to buy some digital photobooks over at Amazon Japan which feature AV actresses by the way I bought two already from *ahem* Itou Mayuki you may have known her from our calendar review haha, and Kawai Asuna... I also bought even (not AV, but VA) Koga Aoi's digital photobook OR even when Kanno Mai was cover for a voice actor magazine... But NONE OF THEM, literally none of these, will compare to the one I'm going to mention below.
From "#Escape Azusa Hikari"
In an attempt to give AV actress Azusa Hikari her title to join with the other two, I tried to search for non-nude (hehe) photobooks but she doesn't really have any since having those wouldn't be for artistic purposes and I kinda want both ie. non-nude but for artistic, and since I can't find one at the time I went for a compromise and uh, chose to eliminate the non-nude criteria. *giggles* As you would see in the screenshot above if I didn't decide to put a ban on this site yet lol their Twitter account probably has safer images lol who am i lying to, but yeah I really just appreciate her with clothes to be honest, body and everything. But as much as I could live with nudity (lmao this site is already flagged), I could NOT live without supporting her in some way. *silence* I'm done haha Hikari-chan you're welcome


WORTHY MENTIONS
I mean, I mentioned the T-shirt based on an original Anime scene already and that wasn't the boldest attempt anyways so *laughs* Anyhow, apart from that haha hmm... I guess putting in a record number of fanclub registrations is making them worth a mention considering that I LITERALLY FORGOT to stop the yearly subscription to Kouno Marika's fanclub... so now it will end in May this year. Well, if I forget to unsub by then again I'll get another year I guess. You're welcome, Marinka. *laughs* Serious talk though, the voice actor trading cards which I did twice are actually good, though results are not satisfactory but I did buy a box for my bro on his birthday and he got SSR so good for him. *giggles* Does that count

Man, I may stop doing this round up for next year if I were to cut down on these physical item purchases moving on. You know, to avoid being taxed and stuff they can't tax me if I ONLY pay through Japan- I can already hear the cops knocking at my door. *laughs* So there you go, if you don't care about any of these it's fine this is just for me to talk about where my salary went and/or create an invoice log as if I run a business or something and need to do audit. *giggles* Hey, maybe I will do it again if I have to answer to someone. You know, if there is that someone. *silence* See you guys then, and until next time, stay tuned for a fully-packed Entertainment News post before I go... work again haha bye then

P.S. Spoiler for next package post, we already have a birthday photobook for me to review. It's not going to be as great as Lynn-san but it's from the same publisher so I have high hopes. And that is BEFORE I review another photobook from a veteran I've known for decades. Haha we shall talk about what those are soon enough. No, no showdown for this; Rikachimalu clothed can't win a half-naked 40-year-old lmao that's my tagline now *dabs*
