The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #42

Well I think I might just start this earlier every week now, and because I really don't want to watch Anime on weekdays, we shall watch all weekend!! Haha maybe not once I reject Urusei Yatsura since the others will only air on Saturday nights SO!! *laughs*

As expected BLEACH was licensed to Hell (get it?) so letting it air on a Monday in Japan and letting the fansub groups catch up might be a wise choice, so I think this will be the move going forward anyways. Also, we know the plot already it's just how much Kubo-sensei may have tweaked it since he oversees overall production on this final arc so *shrugs*

Without further ado as I started this on a Saturday, let's!

アニメ Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen

"To be able to erase the presence of Hollows... it's gotta be them!" Yep, just a reminder, we call them Quincies

Hey, you thought staying overnight was fun with that Anime last season? Wait till you have to deal with Hollows as a shinigami. *dabs* Okay that's just for me personally but I really did not expect to be living this long and BE talking about my beloved action series which brought me into the world of Anime a decade and a half later, so before we talk about the episode, let's talk about feels. (Haha if you want to skip find the episode hashtag) This all started with the 20th anniversary of the original work back in 2001 when I was still a kid not knowing anything in school and only till around 2007 did I know of this from my classmates and then I was in middle (secondary) school, when the world was on fire back in 2021 at this point and they gave us more fire by announcing the Anime adaptation of the final arc of the original manga probably due to the rising popularity of its currently only mobile game Brave Souls, finally found enough capacity to complete the only action series I had dreamt of on my bed, literally. Fast forward to today where with some years of production they are finally ready to start, and I could not be more happier. So, as usual, first episode of any arc is for warmup (#BLEACHTYBW01), as we talk about Hollows being removed from existence. Also, they are so big, even the stationed shinigami in Karakura Town can't deal with it, and we have two. Man, are these Hollows considered Adjuchas? They don't talk though haha so many questions. (Yes, I'll link everything I say in lore to a Wiki in case anyone thought I was making all this up) But fret not, they might just be in a little squeeze seeing all these spawn in the Real World because there was an imbalance of soul powers likely due to the massive killings in Hueco Mundo which *wink* we shall not talk about the perpetrators for now, we might need some help from the main four living in the town which also includes a Quincy haha ah hey, but overall, it's all in a night's duty amirite, fellas? Eh, Shino? Ryuunosuke? Why are you guys on the ground? Didn't Ukitake and/or Rukia train you guys well- Okay they were just bait, isn't it? Central 46? *laughs* I don't know who made these orders down, but considering we have some Arrancar curious to walk into the guys' bread supper or something there HAS to be something wrong, we don't even need 12th Squad Captain Mayuri to tell us that, or even 3rd Seat Akon- Hey, I don't have to describe everyone in this series; You go figure it out if you are so keen. *giggles* Anyways, shit happened haha and that's why talking action series isn't exactly fun, RIP 1st Squad Vice Sasakibe you will be missed I will look forward to your Bankai in the future *wink*, old man Yamamoto is pissed but he doesn't get the shadow thing just like Ichigo and boy was that the best animated thing so far in the series haha, and we had our first glace at Ywa Yuwac whatever that f**k's name is haha maybe we call him Quincy God for now haha *dabs* and his current occupation of Hueco Mundo, the Hollow world is currently in a mess because now imprisoned Aizen left them cold tea. *laughs* All in all, I will only have hope they will pick up pace from here on, removing the ideas of recaps like from the long ending from our faces and making the animation stay ever so consistent instead of giving us the disappointments from the Arrancar and Fullbringer arcs. Fingers crossed, people!! We still have a couple more years to go for this series' end, and with Kubo-sensei in supervision of the series himself, I really hope this will deliver. More of this good stuff next week I guess. My only expectations, apart from the above which are really small to be honest, are that they showcase, once again, what all the action that makes BLEACH special, now that we have the best in animation and quality(?) all in one place. (*wink* All sword releases please hehe) 15 years ago we only had the best voices shout out to all who are in this Anime I love you all, but now we have everything else. So please, continue to make this good. That's all I ask.

MFW I saw the Anime announcement for this final arc

Me and my bros coming to f**k your b*tch be like
(lol I'm sorry)

P.S. "So the entire village has been spirited away..." See, even in Anime we get references to Anime haha that's just a coincidence guys you aren't even there when it aired in cinemas you don't even know the real title

Introducing the main 4 of the "BLEACH" series:
We have bimbo absolute healer Inoue Orihime
(We will talk about her limits in future episodes)

Introducing the main 4 of the "BLEACH" series:
I still remember as a kid Sado "Chad" Yasutora haha he is kind of a chad imo
(Probably influenced by subtitles which used Chad instead of his name though)

Introducing the main 4 of the "BLEACH" series:
Arrogant Quincy descendant prodigy Ishida Uryuu haha learn from your dad dude
(His dad will appear... eventually lol)

Introducing the main 4 of the "BLEACH" series:
Kusosaki Ichigo, main character.
*laughs*

アニメ Urusei Yatsura

"Enough about marriage already!" Haha I know someone is triggered but I don't know who *wink*

Yeah haha what if all the alien invasion is a hoax and we just have some sweet romance? Haha yeah right I figured. *laughs* So yes in case you haven't figured out the plot just by me saying this (#UruseiYatsura01), let's talk about what this classic remake is. This is a remake of the popular(?) 90s Anime series where, in face of an alien invasion, this dude Maboroshi is selected to play a game with one of the alien species to determine the outcome of this takeover. Yeah, it's as cliché as it gets, people. What's more cringe than that is our human representative is randomly picked and his opponent, that's right, is a female alien called Lum. So yeah, in case you wonder how he won... *laughs* Nope, you're not wrong, Maboroshi is a man of culture lol, nothing like his dad who can't stop a quarrel between the mother and kid, still stares at women even though he has human Shinobu as his girl. Again, I can't help but bring my bro into this equation because the only difference is that he's single haha *dabs*, would probably settle on marrying an alien anyways even though all this guy's motivation has been to be with the girl he likes. Earthling girl, by the way. So yes, it's an easy misunderstanding, we have that Cherry monk to vouch for that lmao, and I don't know if you call this bad luck or not and shout out to my bro again for comparisons haha, he did win the showdown by thinking strategically in the way he does: using his perverted brain. *laughs* Since Lum is an alien who can fly and electrify her opponents, one could only feel helplessness as a fellow human and then blaming him on his incapability to win this within 10 days (lol) despite all his limitations as just a fellow commoner. Heck, not like he has access to satellite lasers or even just guns which shoot out binds to stop this Lum-chan per se (sorry for Anime reference overload), but you know, why not just snatch that... I guess bra? What do aliens call those on their planet? *laughs* Ah hey, I'm going to make jokes like this real often if I pick this up so I hope you're ready. Anyways, all in all I think this has crazy 90s comedy vibes maybe even heavier than modern take on such comedy such as Anime "Komi-san", but as much as it feels dated, in this first episode they didn't really give much premise on developments of the characters, or even just, a hint of Maboroshi liking this alien girl at some point. Well, I guess we need that transition phase that'll take a couple of episodes, right? Haha yeah let's not let the signal jamming from the saucer get in the way of this triangle relationship which will turn into a single line at some point lol, because for this lucky guy, his bad luck is just turning around, just about at the right time. Remember how he has to have all the bad luck to be chosen for the showdown? I mean, he could've used email. Haha see you guys around and we shall see if I can forgive this being just casually funny lol I've already given the theme songs internally by the way it's just classic dance pop anyways

Okay even I would marry this alien girl instead of Shinobu *dabs*

MFW I talk about why I would marry an alien girl in front of girls IRL
(lol)

P.S. "Nobody told me you could fly!" Haha yeah I mean not like we know right? "Well then you should've done your research" Okay yeah like we know about the world outside Earth

P.P.S. I like how Uesaka Sumire is just voiced as herself as an alien in this Anime haha because this will be the best ONLY reason for me to like this series because I only heard her voice uber cute girls which is not her image by the way *laughs* (Please, that is not cosplay, it's a "recreation" as mentioned by herself haha)

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

"I'm not going to the school festival" SAME DUDE haha why though Sakurai you got Uzaki

You see, you don't go to the school festival because you're alone but you guys are CLEARLY together you guys even slept- In this new episode of happiness haha (#UzakiChanS203), oh shit let me cook the rice first. *laughs* Yes, we are expecting the biggest drop of the century lol and it's not because of Uzaki's rack haha, it's the school festival! Because we are going to enjoy days of fun as Sakurai closes himself in his abode playing video games all day. *silence* Yeah, did you also forget he was a shut-in and likes to play games more than Uzaki? *laughs* Because SAME DUDE lol I feel like I have a lot in common with Sakurai minus the muscles. *giggles* Anyways, we know that will not make of great content even the author knows, so he had to devise a plan- I mean, Sakaki had to devise a plan, LITERALLY, to get these two to have a great time in the campus while also making sure everyone in the school knows of this couple who aren't dating. *laughs* How that works though? I feel like I should explain with respect to his perspective, as he explained it to Ami-chan who, we will talk about her later, is also involved in this somehow for some reason to no surprises to anyone haha. Firstly, Sakaki needs a way to get these two to join this festival. So I guess instead of keeping his mouth shut which he normally does, he suggested to the committee that encouraging people to participate in a lottery with spending on the stalls will get them upward to a prize that will make sure Uzaki wants it, like apparently it's a gaming console. *laughs* Hey Uzaki, you don't want something else? Haha oh well what do I know about women. Anyways, Sakurai was okay with just that as an excuse, so he played along with it. Then, Sakaki had to suggest something so cringe to make sure these two get attention, so he said to them to go spend money on the most expensive stalls, like the fortune-telling one ran by the Occult Club. Well, that went great because apart from Sakurai being THE ONLY GUY in the queue haha I mean I would've already thought something was amiss, they didn't read the notice (as with the many times they don't anyways) that mentioned about this queue only doing romance predictions, so hey, no wonder it only got the girls in. Which also will explain that if a couple had the balls to queue on this line means that they aren't worried of getting their fortunes told of them? Wait, what? They aren't a couple? *laughs* THEN WHY IS AMI-CHAN HERE??? *laughs* Well you get the idea, blah blah they are perfect for each other and that's why we have this Anime lol you're welcome says the author, somehow they were prevented from leaving once they noticed Uzaki's friend in front of them will only do romance card-reading, and I guess one of the voices who prevented them from leaving was familiar. *giggles* Haha it's like they know Sakaki was behind this. *laughs* You think? *laughs* And of course in a surprise to no one, both of them are thinking about it even after the event, where Sakurai had his ideal break which is playing games at his place while Uzaki came over to cook. *giggles* Hey, say they aren't a couple yet. All in all, maybe it's just me, but the narrator might be in too much for this episode in order to explain Uzaki's fantasies of assuming that they must be together after doing the fortune-telling which is obviously NOT true that will NOT happen in 20 more season of Anime haha, but hey, what's stopping them? Themselves, I guess. *laughs* Hey, that's the whole point of the series, yes? Oh damn I ran out of rice to eat so see you guys next week then haha

[TL:DR; "Why aren't you two dating?" Haha this series in a nutshell]

Which year is that, for the prize to be the PX4?? *laughs*

Me trying to space out on weekends letting time pass lol
(No really, ever tried that?)

P.S. "Do introverts really hate festivals?" Hey Uzaki I am offended by your statement lol "Sometimes I feel like you're a special kind of idiot" O~KAY haha

P.P.S. "Good enough to nearly knock me off my feet more than once" Haha me when I saw Rieri's new music video by the way

アニメ Koukyuu no Karasu

"From here on, you must live here" Hey if it has good Internet I'll be good *laughs*

Oh, so that's the origin story. Hey shout out to Xing-Xing picking out the literal cutest girl in existence to be the next Consort? Haha I wouldn't have suggested otherwise; This is Anime anyways. *giggles* In this new episode where slavery reigns supreme until a golden feather lands upon your rooftops (#KoukyuuNoKarasu03), *ahem* I think you get the idea me not mentioning "period drama" would help make this more palatable even to me alone so, you're welcome. So, maybe we talk about the past of the Raven Consort for a bit. Story goes, that remember the girl had to dye her hair black to cover her identity as someone from the past dynasty as they will now be hunted by race? Well, not going too much about how that got her mother killed just because she was a bit too late, but then on she has been a child slave which *ahem* couldn't be represented any better until she got picked by the golden chicken. *giggles* Hey, it sounds like a joke until you realize that it was raised by the Consort, the previous one, and that is now her legacy today, this Jusetsu. But today, in her palace she has to deal with a new lady-in-waiting (gotta emphasize, voiced by Kouno Marika) who refuses to let her get her own cup of water lol, that emperor who just somehow goes to her abode more often than the other consorts which- Can you just not appear in here, dude? She's going to get cancelled by your childhood friend at this rate. *laughs* *ahem* Maybe that's also why the also current Empress in waiting (she is LITERALLY waiting to get laid haha *dabs*) paid her a visit too, but you know, who can stop the rumours out there. *ahem* Jusetsu won't change her mind though, we know for now. What will change her mind though, is when she slowly noticed the things around her changing, from possessed servants in the palace to maaaaybe this Raven Consort could use some protection because man, is the past coming back to haunt her. Because I'm pretty sure one would take precautions if you realized someone else out there can use the same magic stuff as she does, calling upon spirits and trapping them in a jar for blackmail? Really, who does such hideous things like this? Well I guess the rebellion so that's why we will be going after them. We did also get back the... I will just call her the Empress' ex lover haha ah hey, his soul so that's good news at least, sadly we had to see her cry because *ahem* and that's why we can't have nice things. And all this prowess about the emperor not being able to treat Jusetsu as a normal consort where he can have babies with her- Truly, TRULY an issue of being the monarch of a nation. *laughs* All in all... Hmm I like the hints that were dropped on this episode about a potential thing where Jusetsu will be haunted by the past on her. Hmm... Should I give this? Can I take the sadness every episode for another 9? Hmm.... maybe? *laughs* It isn't too bad, for starters. We know it's *ahem* already so that's not too surprising. There's more lore than we think there is regarding the lives from the past dynasty so technically we don't know the real identity of the potential villain who will ruin this new empire at some point, but yeah, we have so much going on now, it's hard to think the lore wouldn't be good. So yeah, I guess I'll give this. Jusetsu is too cute to give this up haha ah hey me stop talking like the emperor

[TL:DR; "What do you think of His Majesty?" Uh, you mean from Jusetsu? UH OH haha but seriously though we don't care you can't be detective when you have emotions in your way]

How to identify possessed humans:
I mean, pretty chill for the driver who got cursed lol

How to identify possessed humans:
Yeah this is more like it haha

P.S. "It would be simpler for an emperor to have someone beheaded than rather than have (Jusetsu) curse them" Like, yeah? Hey, someone's gotta worry if they would be cursed than beheaded okay? Haha *ahem*

P.P.S. "He was my lover" Wait, so as a Consort the Emperor was not your lover? UH OH WAIT WAIT UEDA REINA HAS A LOVER?? *laughs* 

And that's why she's so adorable- OLD WOMAN GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER lol

And that's how I knew, this girl has some tsundere aspects haha SHAME!! *thumbs up*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Wow this is quite a week in Klassic Note though it might be the best for the month if the end of the month streak doesn't do this well. That doesn't mean they are all winners though, because Kouno Marika's 3rd single flew through me like a gust of wind not affecting me in any way possible, because the melodies did not land on me so I won't say too much of this comparing to some of Waki Azumi's singles for Anime too since it's the same music label. *silence" What did do well though were krage's new song which we have I have already given, Kitou Akari's 2nd album which though I said it sounds good and actually gave 2 songs literally geared towards my preferences of her singing voice hehe you're welcome Akarin I guess, I failed to give the topic song time and again today's my 3rd time listening to it again and I'm STILL hating the verse of the song, so I shall stop myself from doing so already it really hurts, honestly. The MVP this week should be nano.RIPE's new album as expected they did not disappoint me I easily gave a couple of songs off the bat which then had a music video that week and as I see them releasing new music videos I feel like I have missed out on some of the songs again just because I was too critical and forgot how much I still liked their style after so long. So yeah, as you can see, going pretty well. We don't need Hanazawa Kana's new live video and live performance videos of Nisshoku Natsuko to pad this. *silence* We shall talk on them next week my quota is up haha

So, on news concerning music I care about and that is on my Twitter feed(s), Natsukawa Shiina's new music video is not what I expect from such a song but who cares I give songs and video separately and she is lovely anyways so, cinema staff's new song is great but it's not making me desperate enough to give it so I shall wait for a proper release, Waki Azumi's concept album teaser is showing what was a matured feel so let's see how this holds up next month, ClariS new video on THE FIRST TAKE is the recent song making waves along with original Anime "Lycoris Recoil" which was pretty much expected the moment they dressed in blue, VELTPUNCH's new music video(?) for the other song in their new single releasing next week has so many references one of them is within this paragraph itself lol, Takahashi Rie's new music video is her first video with a face reveal (lol ClariS be like) and goddamn is it just the best thing I've seen in years because she doesn't even show this stuff in her fanclub that I'm subbed to currently by the way, I've been making waves on Twitter and on YouTube about RYTHEM's music video of the first song I've heard of them (I recall I was browsing through the CMs in Sony Music Japan's official website and saw this back in 2008), krage's 1st EP releases in December on the same week as Aimer-san and we have heard of them from Anime "Koukyuu no Karasu" I should've waited for this announcement but I guess not, Ueda Reina's new music video clip release will be end of the year which by the way I know half of the songs on the list somehow lol she doesn't have a long track record for her solo music career anyways (and will also include a story-based version of her latest music video instead of the current production-based version), Jououbachi's new music video for Anime "Koukyuu no Karasu" is interesting and so will the single releasing end of the month (legit don't know the band name so I guess you can call it QUEEN BEE), and we end the line with a slew of new release announcements including Hanazawa Kana's new single in next February in 2023 for an Anime she stars in and I might just end up watching lol, Kitou Akari's birthday fanclub event also revealed not just her next single releasing in February next year, but also the NEXT following single release which are both for Anime. Damn. 

So for next week, we only have VELTPUNCH's new single for their 25th anniversary goddamn it has been long for them, but also, I will be listening to Nisshoku Natsuko's album from this year (man, she has been releasing albums yearly?) and see if I can give more stuff from this artist I couldn't stop giving chances to. Hey, if she did impress me even without me remembering her face she HAS got to be good, right? So yeah, more of her and Kana-chan too I guess lol I may just give up on the latter real quick that album for her 25th anniversary ie. birthday, wasn't that great.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITOU AKARI!!! Haha ah hey what else can I even say about her birthday event today? You saw everything; Two new singles in place for the Anime next year mentioned this early, a new photobook in December which is self-produced featuring her in swimsuits so she is basically Uesaka Sumire but flat *laughs* I'm so sorry dear Akarin everything else about you is *chef's kiss* though, they made a special video for the birthday and solo music career debut day too.. The only thing that can distract me from all this now is that finally all the new package items (required) have assembled and I gotta send those out so I can get to see them next week when I'm on leave. For the whole week. *dabs* Eh, my newbie colleague will be alright. *laughs* Cya guys then, and until next time... I truly believe birthdays are for people to relax and enjoy their day and be with family and friends instead of working. *silence* Akarin you are such a godsend we don't deserve half-naked you haha and we're done!!

P.S. Now should I challenge myself again to beat the record of Tomatsu Haruka and wank to Kitou Akari's swimsuit photobook-

Maybe it is really hard to explain to others what it means to cringe on your own occult hobbies.

Maybe it is hard to explain to my new colleagues why I don't go to Japan and be a nerd. Maybe it is just me avoiding the culture of exploration and experience. But maybe also, is that I set that fence for myself so I don't look like a dork to others. Whatever it is, it might be stopping me from truly be into the stuff I like. Maybe.

Is it a sin to be protective against your own interests?

I think of that a lot, honestly. As I listen to the songs I like which people around me will never pick up, and I buy stuff normally people will despise and think it's a waste of money, but as I see people do the same thing and/or find a community which they can relate, I sometimes wonder if I've done this interests thing wrongly. Who cares, isn't it?

The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #41

I'm seriously still considering whether to watch Anime on a weekday because I love my weekdays and I've not been stopping (besides one day haha it's a burnout) to play that Potion Permit game so... not like I'm going to get spoiled by the plot, right?? I mean, I may not remember that much but I know what happens in my favourite action series of all time. *silence* The new "BLEACH" trailers are GREAT though haha really then makes you realize and be shocked at how Ichigo's Bankai is not enormous, and the only ones I can think of similar to his are so far (spoiler alert) Rukia, maybe Kyoraku and old geezer Yamamoto even though when they use their powers it's big so yeah, Ichigo.

Okay intro's long enough let's start haha I really might just extend the one item by paying storage time so I can compile all the other stuff that should appear by the end of the month. Well, so far it's not great so I'm getting worried haha hey me do you still want to buy more MusicRay'n badges to pad the order?? *laughs* Yes lmao *dabs* MOCHO~!!

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

*looks at Uzaki sleeping with Sakurai on bench* *camera sounds*

Oh yeah true Sakaki why would you even show Ami-chan? *eats a bowl of rice* Haha in this new episode dude (#UzakiChanS202) like, tell me Ami-chan is not THE BEST CHARACTER you find in Anime. *laughs* Then again if it's not voiced by Ayachi I wouldn't even care. *giggles* So, about her I guess. Remember last week when everyone got to see... whatever was on the bench in school with two people sleeping? *laughs* Man, this is hard to explain even to the mother who just brain froze after hearing what her daughter has to say, but you know, it's not really about that, Uzaki did wake up first to realize the senpai is hugging her like a pillow (#RelationshipGoals amirite?) (And that's why you find girls a head shorter than you-) and just had to live with the nightmare of the classmates and Sakaki taking photos and even videos of this spectacular phenomenon. *laughs* And yes Ami-chan we intentionally didn't call you over or else how else we gonna let Sakurai sleep longer so we can get a professional cameraman to film this? *laughs* Not like it'll stop these guys from hanging out again though since Ami-chan felt left out on the action lol she is practically done with college since it's at her end and Sakaki is practically done with college because he planned out his work and didn't have to deal with homework like Uzaki does lol not me by the way but I did choose easy classes haha, we playing some... well, soccer. Indoor soccer, I guess. Sakaki was there to trash a bunch of bullies who are also single and can't mingle so I feel like I'm already personally attacked haha I'm quitting this now, Sakurai is there so look like he's part of the team as Sakaki carries all the goals but I guess he did score one too but it's as if you killed all the drivers in a race lmao, Uzaki is there is sh*t on her senpai as usual no surprises there but that doesn't stop Sakurai from his massacre, and Ami-chan just saw some good muscles. *giggles* Never change, Ami-chan, never change. And I guess we are making a lot of udon noodles just because. *laughs* I don't know, Sakurai likes udon? Even if Uzaki doesn't, I guess he is picking up pace by hanging out with Uzaki more playing sports even swimming, and learning other stuff like cooking so he can be a great househusband- All in all haha, man the jokes are still great, just slip in Ami-chan every week and it'll be *chef's kiss* and boy did they even get a narrator to have more monologue compared to the other two siblings of the Uzaki family. *laughs* I mean, what else do you need? Maybe their budget went up, I don't know. *laughs* Still looking forward to more laughs after this though, but really makes me wonder what the conclusion for this season will be. Just them in a love hotel? That sounds like a great idea they already hugged to sleep we just need the right place haha

[TL:DR; "It's freely given (affection), why are you demanding gratitude?" This series in a nutshell with Uzaki haha]

This series in a nutshell haha

Hell yeah this is my "you talking about me" GIF hehe this Anime is great

P.S. "Guess I'll never have to help you (with your reports) again" Haha yeah me when people don't need my help lol sadly it's not because I'm smart *sob*

P.P.S. "It was a way of life that Uzaki had no hope of imitating" THERE IS A NARRATOR?? *laughs*

Yeah okay Anime don't think I didn't see this part in the quick pass haha
(Does that count as a foul? Chest bump right? lol)

Nice!
Big.
*laughs*

There you go haha you might be speechless but this is all you need to comment

アニメ KouKyuu no Karasu

"That loathsome silver hair is a signature of the previous Luan dynasty. Behead every last one of those traitors!" Wow we are starting out GREAT lol

Wow that is very Photoshop-level hair dyeing haha or is that how it works centuries ago? I don't know, time travel there and report to me. In this new episode of a period drama Anime series (#KoukyuuNoKarasu02), where RIP Jusetsu's mom I guess she didn't get to put the black stuff on her hair. *laughs* I think I'm going to get cancelled haha see you guys on WordPress. *giggles* Also, you thought you would be fine watching this and not "Heike Monogatari" so you won't see severed heads? *taps brain* Anyways, so much more and *ahem* I'm still using this as the "period drama, by the way" slogan I don't want to keep mentioning but man did I already want to use this twice for the text above, we conclude the first arc of a mystery about a dead Consort who sacrificed in the face of humiliation. Ironically, the same as the fate of the Emperor's mother actually, but I guess we now know the whole story, so we can relate? Hey, the guy already saw Jusetsu in the lake with her silver hair, what else is more bare naked than that? *dabs* But yeah, maybe that, maybe more than that as Jiu-jiu appears at the Consort's place, but as the investigations go on for Jusetsu and the mystery of that earring, looks like we have more problems up the alley. From ex-Dowager servants being abandoned at the old wash house... do they even have meals or are they left to die? *ahem* Anyways haha, this, to when they had to talk to the deceased Consort's lady-in-waiting who lost her tongue because what best way to keep a person silent by- *ahem* So yeah true ruthlessness to cut the line, but that doesn't stop anyone from finding out the truth, since the lady did know how to write and faked it until someone who can save her comes her way, then told us the real story about the hanging of the Consort. So turns out, all intentional, the Dowager was to blame, and everyone related to the one who was framed of poisoning another Consort was effectively silenced to not cause repercussions. Well, thanks to this lady and the eunuch we found out later who was technically her childhood sweetheart who gave him her earring also that servant Jiu-Jiu had contact with who visited a eunuch often with messages (I know right? A maiden visiting a eunuch more often than ever? Did we check if that guy was castrated? *laughs* *ahem* Please, that's not a bug that's a feature lmao), we can gather enough evidence to make sure the Dowager's efforts to keep everyone mum will go down the drain. And her head too, in case you wonder if they would show those things again haha not really. But yeah, all's done in done, I guess. Also, don't ask why the other earring went into the Emperor's possession lol hey that childhood sweetheart? This is how much they don't care about you. *dabs* All in all, I mean, the lake scene and the bed scene are the best parts of this episode, right?? Haha now I sound like an Emperor. *laughs* Not bad so far, not bad- the storytelling did get me with emotional scenes especially meeting up with the ghost stuff, the ending theme song sounds like it's ready to top my music rankings this year haha, and Jusetsu looks better with black hair, I'll say it right here and now. *giggles* I'll not be racist for this series, I promise.

Wait, so the predecessor was the mother? Okay maybe not that was afterwards isn't it

Yes, don't ask why this side character is important because I like haha

P.S. "Looks like Xing-Xing has taken a liking to you" Haha this rooster loves women!!! *ahem* What else is new lol

P.P.S. "I thought I should reward you for your assistance" More buns!! *laughs* Okay all men out there if you give the same thing to your woman more than once you need to be beheaded haha

[Note to the Emperor: JUSETSU IS JUST SIXTEEN YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE HER- ONLY I CAN HAVE HER AND I HAVE TO WAIT TEN YEARS lol]

Okay this is just Kaguya-sama in her room alone lol

Damn, kid her is uber cute and it's not because of the black hair-

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

So yeah, to start the week of this month's Klassic Note lol boy is this one good enough. *giggles* Ueda Reina's new mini-album is once again hitting me with so many feels, I hesitate to give by the way, more than half the album of songs and yes I did in the end in case you wondered, because from familiar composers to even more familiar melodies, I feel like the choruses already got me long before everything else did, even the topic song. So yeah, that's how much I like her now. *laughs* In my defence though? The songs are honestly not fitting of Ueshama here, for example the topic song where she has to sing a high pitch with her soft voice? Man, are they really doing the try hard thing here. Apart from this though, on Koko-chan's recommendations between a Jazz music playlist she mentioned in a Q&A Instagram story in response to her sharing "Moanin'" and if you don't know of that classic go watch Anime "Sakamichi no Apollon" haha, but also she recommended something... normal? So I gave Living Rita a listen and... uh... I didn't give anything. *laughs* Well, apart from this group being rather new, their style is also kinda... hey this girl likes them what can I say?

For news on Twitter about music which is mostly of my business to be honest, Taketatsu Ayana's new song is uh... well I didn't give it because why won't people just remake their best song like dear Lil'B did years ago lol I guess it's just me, Niitsu Yui's new album recording is going well so let's hope for a next year release because my song list for the year is overflowing, and thanks to the input of fans submitting photos of them jumping in air nano.RIPE's new music video really doesn't sound too bad and it's getting me hyped with good ol' Rock music, Takahashi Rie's new song is finally out if you have pre-ordered last week and it's not exactly my thing so I'm going to give it a pass, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's new music video will not get me their latest album from March again, Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new single is slated for November I think we mentioned this a couple of times so why not until the music video reveal, Kano's new music video where she dances again but for the new season of Anime "Uzaki-chan" is actually better than the one years ago I think I'm going to like this more over time, Aimer's new song for drama is ok I guess not going to comment much until the release in December, I am so hyped of krage's new song for Anime "Kokkyu no Karasu" it will be out next week by the way, and I didn't realize Toyota Moe's new demo songs for her solo music release for her 10th year anniversary as a voice actress are already out by the time you see this. Yes, going down the path of Kayano Ai and recently Takahashi Minami, but this one has her own YouTube and Discord channel so guess who's putting in more effort in social media promotion. *giggles*

So for next week we have our peak period it looks like right here, with Kouno Marika's 3rd single which I did not care much after being disappointed with the music video so let's see if this holds up, or else I'll be relieved to give Kitou Akari's 2nd album and a long awaited new nano.RIPE album. I have a feeling I'll be listening to the latter a lot by the end of the week so come back and see if I got myself correct. *giggles*




To end this, because I technically ended the story for Potion Permit haha yes I've been playing it for the weekend, I chose... adorable Mayor's daughter Rue to date haha but looks like I have to wait because she's too young? *laughs* Ah hey don't call the cops on me please, and now that I've decided on the less realistic route (lmao) and then saw the character album after you max out their relationships as I've done for all of them shown below? Martha was better IT'S THOSE JUGS DUDE haha okay me. Cya guys then

P.S. Olive is more of a mommy than Helene, I'll say it here. *laughs* Kinda tsundere too so that helps haha the latter is just a slut who uses people lmao ah hey I wanted to date the nun though but it isn't an option *silence* I'm done haha

P.P.S. Okay Bubbles the Ranger is actually cuter WHY CAN'T I DATE HER INSTEAD lol pet lovers RISE UP haha okay just leave already

The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #40

Man, this was quite a week to end the month. But now we are at the new month, I can't wait to have to deal with exercise again *pukes* Haha okay me get over it

Anyways, be sure to check out what I've unboxed earlier this week, and starting this weekend, we are exploring new Anime for the season! New Anime, new season you know- We will see if any will stick, or else I might spend more time on weekends to play video games. There's that Potion Permit have I've seen it in summer games festivals that's kinda fun. It's like that Anime last season about isekai pharmacy I didn't watch and it has Aki-chan in it. *silence* Oh well haha

LET'S Anime and music talk!! *laughs*

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

"One-upping Senpai is what makes my life worth living" We reaching that stage already huh haha

Merry Christmas, everybody- This should've aired next season. *laughs* Yeah, we went from them being hostile to each other to in this new season of a sweet romance in progress series (#UzakiChanS201), hanging out and enjoying their time with each other. Wholesome, wholesome content- Wait, let me get my rice cooker going. *laughs* So, this episode definitely easily served as a summary episode to remind all of us the fun we had over the first season, and what will be like going forward. In summary? I mean, we know they are not dating, but they TOTALLY are. *giggles* Because firstly, we have Sakaki and I swear I almost forgot his name, hanging out with these two after summer vacation is over, because damn, whoever sucked at bowling wouldn't even matter if it's just a battle of wits and Uzaki just shouting behind Sakurai's back as he rolls the ball so *laughs* You get the idea, the usual banter these two have, and us just watching all of it happening. We are of course also reminded of how to not get provoked by Uzaki so she can't do much to you which Sakurai is often failing at lol, and how Sakurai is also then improving his own skills outside of video games so he can gain an edge when having to deal with Uzaki's antics, like winning her at bowling to not get a punishment. I mean, fair game, amirite? *giggles* Then, we have Ami-chan. If you TRULY need a reminder about this absolute pervert of a girl running the cafe with the father who just left the premises for a bit, oh boy let me tell you how much this girl wants to see Sakurai's muscles and Uzaki in... well anything cute because ironically apart from Uzaki having a larger rack than hers haha this is a thing in this Anime by the way "it's so big" is the series' middle name lmao, still loved to don up Uzaki-chan in some of the best cosplay we will see in a decade (haha) until you know, the two of them find out what she intends to do and/or the father appears so what else is new. *laughs* But hey, I'll take an Anime where Taketatsu Ayana is an absolute pervert, I'll tell you that much. Heck, I'll even take her dressed as a bunny girl as punishment for making us nosebleed so much. The character of voice actress? Yes. *laughs* Even the mom wants in on the action too lol MOVING ON haha, I... uh... can only talk about how much I can relate to these two not getting enough sleep but NOT because I played video games till the dead of night, sadly. But hey, what is stopping anyone from sleeping in the school premises? *wink* Even together at a bench? Snugged in tight? *laughs* All in all, oh boy I am easily reminded of the pace of the series and also how much fun I had watching this first season up till now, so I'm excited to see more of these banters going forward. With a new cast of characters mostly involving Uzaki's family, we will see how much more these two will go to admit they are going steady. I mean, is sleeping together without a confession going steady? Asking for a friend lmao

KOWAI lol

I don't care if this will get me banned but WHO DID THIS lmao

P.S. "Well, (Uzaki) will say it to him too if he's around" That's what friends are for, dude. They are not your friend if they can't sh*t on you all day haha

P.P.S. "Just date already" Haha I KNOW RIGHT "I've been paralyzed by (Uzaki) lately" See? *laughs* It's ALL THE SEX DUDE lol

You're welcome- SUGOI DEKAI haha

Man, how wrong is this???
MILF, anyone? *laughs*

Me watching this episode (and future episodes) be like
(Haha)

アニメ Koukyuu no Karasu

"A man of low birth such as yourself is not welcome here" Oh you talking about me? I'm sorry I'll leave haha

Oh, looks like someone got disowned and had the balls to come take back his land, interesting. *giggles* In this first episode of a series I'm taking a look at (#KoukyuuNoKarasu01), I'm not that keen on period dramas so let me put this out first whatever my decision is though, whenever I do this *ahem* I'm stating the fact that "this is a period drama, by the way", so don't forget how unforgiving this story can be. But how can we forget the night where the empress dowager's throne was taken from her... for good reason, right? Yeah turns out, we have some story to talk about which should be typical of this series, but getting the reason out will be harder than you think, because women. *laughs* *ahem* Okay me, but really, getting even (I'm going to forget the name "Jusetsu" so) the Raven Consort to help with her mysterious powers likely passed from the gods is also not going to be an easy task. As with the role of this specific Consort, she only does favours after exhausting all options, or that, if she is demanded by the leader of the palace which of course, now is based on this new emperor so I guess she can speak. Still, quite a character to not listen to demand, but hey, maybe some good food will quill her temper. *ahem* Haha anyways, the story we are doing in this specific arc somehow is dealing with a ghost and a jade earring which was found by the emperor, but that's as much as he knew. Being a man of authority, I guess he can't blend in to the masses to find out more of where this item came from but the Consort can? Hmm... *ahem* so what else is new. *laughs* She did get some buns to eat out of it so I guess she's gotta work for it. Speaking of work, she went down in disguise to the servant's nest and talked to Jiu-Jiu (Marinka, by the way, and the first reason I'm watching this lol) which quickly led her to the older servants who talked about the history of the premises, about how the dowager banished the heir to emperor after taking over leadership, how she was more feminist than most men in that era lol *ahem*, and how supposedly one of the Consorts hanged herself after being accused of a murder of another pregnant Consort which, you know, will then be a potential heir should anyone else not bear any children for the current leader so *ahem* haha you see why I needed this abbreviation now? *laughs* Also, and that's how every day at the servants' quarters is a joy with all this gossip haha why know the truth when it's none of your business and you can make them up? *giggles* PERIOD DRAMA, BY THE WAY- Oops. *laughs* And looks like, basically, the emperor is intending to punish the dowager for her crimes properly and not be a ruthless ruler like her to use violence which is good, we have a nice guy coming into the new Era, good news. Pity the guys at the doorstep though, they didn't have a choice. *ahem* All in all haha, you KNOW this is Anime because "kawaii" was mentioned in this series lol, you know this is a mystery waiting to unfold considering we have already been given this much just in episode one, and YOU KNOW that old b*tch will not stand to be locked in a palace so hell yeah I hope you will enjoy what is coming up as much as I do, to be honest. As such, and why am I using such a formal tone lol, I'll give this the three-episode rule, which will likely end this mini arc too. Then maybe, maybe, we'll find out why the emperor is in the middle of the lake peeping at girls taking a wash. Haha see you guys then *ahem*

[TL:DR; Okay doesn't matter if I finish watching this, but XING-XING MVP!!! Haha that golden bird, can we not have that also have a corresponding human cosplay? Just saying the rest of the cast got to though]

Me and ma bros going to hit some chicks haha
(Xing-Xing NO~!! lol)

This is too cute I can't even
(Imagine this newcomer shrieking at the recording studio hehe)

P.S. "... she does not do night time duties" Yeah that's girls when I ask them out for dinner haha okay I better stop with these jokes for my own sake "However, it seems that I have upset her" See, that's why you don't ask them out at night lol

P.P.S. "The Raven Consort must desire nothing" But these buns taste so good though?? Haha I know right we gotta like something in life also she's 16 she didn't know about temptations

[I apologize for not using their names but titles to refer to the characters in this series but MORE JUSETSU haha she cute though I'll give you that THANK GOODNESS we not dealing with her predecessor lmao]

MFW Marinka is in this Anime haha it's the Pog emote

And I died-ed haha period drama cuteness has never been so *chef's kiss*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week is quite a week considering we gave so many songs at the end of the month compared to the rest of the month despite all of them not being better? Haha maybe it's just the mood, though. But I did try to get my mood back to listen to ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's new single because Anime "Yojouhan" series but also because I forgot how chill you have to be in mood to give any of their styles. So yeah, turned back around to give the A-side after I gave one of the B-sides where the guitarist also got his vocal input. No single review though. *laughs* Yoru no Honki Dance's new mini-album isn't exactly the best thing they have released so far but I gotta say they have not been in years I'm rather disappointed, because I ended up giving the song which was released two months ago instead of the new songs that have music videos to top them up. Oh well, nice try, I guess. I did still give a couple more songs because they are regulars though. Touyama Nao's new album is also not that great, because as I said the amusement park theme didn't make this experience any better my benchmark is at 2015 with Tomatsu Haruka's 3rd album and that's why I can state which album it specifically is I remembered it that deeply, still got me with a couple of songs as I listen to them again so I'll take those. Takahashi Minami's 10th anniversary mini-album (where unlike Kayano Ai's album which is not on digital lol) is not exactly what I want especially with the singing voice lol but that doesn't mean the moods of the songs aren't good, so I took not the topic song. Been my motivation lately so I think it is good. This is how you gauge a new song is good, right?

Looks like we don't have much on music news on Twitter well within my scope, I might give a listen to AMUSE VOICE ACTORS album to release in December if I'm really bored because I know Tomita Miyu and Isobe Karin and the latter could use some more singing with others sadly I wish this is a list of solo songs, Yoru no Honki Dance's new music video did not get me again after Wednesday because I swear the melody impression is getting in the way, VELTPUNCH's new music video for their single in weeks is a meh and I hope the other A-side in this double release will be good, ClariS is finally on THE FIRST TAKE in person which is run by their parent company Sony Music Japan lol and they sung their most popular song ever so popular even Alice sung it a decade ago *sob*, Takahashi Rie's new song is available for pre-order which also means you don't get to hear it yet so I'll listen when it's out, Uesaka Sumire's new music video (with subtitles, by the way) gave us an oldie style tune and music video in 4:3 aspect ratio so I hope this is what carries me to listen to her album in two weeks, Aimer's new mini-album is confirmed for December release which includes some of the songs mentioned these few months, and GLIM SPANKY's new song is for a drama series with Ishiwara Junji writing the lyrics apparently. I guess the adaptation requires more specific lyrics to be in the song, or else why not let the band write it, right? I don't know I don't second guess the Japanese music industry *wink*

So for next week, we only have Ueda Reina's new mini-album which the topic song didn't really stick with me so if that sucks haha I now have a larger backlog of live performances so we will find something better than Awesome City Club. *laughs*




And that's all for this week! Man, it's starting October and I'm already tired. *laughs* Thankfully, I'll get myself immersed with playing video games... progressing slowly but surely... to curb the work... stress or boredom or whatever until the next package comes. Gotta say though? Might become best package for the year. *laughs* See you all by then, and until next time, go find out that Potion Permit game and tell me whether I should romance Martha who works at the tavern or Rue ie. the Mayor's daughter which I first saved and the very reason I started on this adventure. I know right, even Stardew Valley didn't give me this hard of a decision lol by the way I chose Abigail because we be gaming day and night *dabs*
