The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #50

I... think I may have missed the Natsukawa Shiina single release online event livestream last week thinking that I didn't get chosen. BUT I DID GET CHOSEN. I can even prove it in my Club Animate account where the raffle was hosted. *silence* I need to change my email address for this account to my primary lol (yeah or just add that secondary account to my phone)

ANYWAYS haha I doubt I missed much what else can I say besides "I want you to be my younger sister" lmao and it's no handshake or whatever idol event that has physical intimacy just because so *laughs* Then again is this what it feels like to be a fan? *giggles* Seriously though, wanted Ueda Reina but didn't get it and got imouto but didn't go- I feel like an idiot now I tell ya

I've done a lot of dumb things this year alone, but at least... I'm giving money out right?? In this season of giving I think I'm already going bankrupt just shipping the new package in, and the hole in my pocket is getting bigger with Christmas events AND my sis' birthday so let's ignore those and talk about Anime and music instead!

アニメ Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen

"We may have to say goodbye" Wait, what? KYORAKU NO we just lost the old geezer dude

Oh Kyoraku is literally me when they had to promote me at work because all the seniors left. *silence* Too real, dude, too real. But unlike my job where I can just leave haha *dabs*, in this new episode where Kyoraku has to take over the ranks from the old geezer (#BLEACHTYBW09), we are about to witness a drastic change in the traditional Gotei 13 we are all proud of until recently where it got trashed by the Sternritter army. So yeah, change, right? Let's talk about all the changes that will happen before us. Firstly, Ichigo and Renji. They changed. Well, kinda, just in physique they got more ripped- Who am I lying to? *laughs* They are healed though, thanks to the bath from Tenjirou, and are set out to heal even more thanks to Hikifune's spiritual energy embodied food using her modified soul Gikon tech so by the way she was the inventor and NOT Urahara and if you know her she was mentioned in the Turn Back The Pendulum Arc with the story from a century ago, just briefly. And Ichigo is right, thinking about how they are taking a bath and eating and enjoying life while the bottom of this world is just struggling to prepare for the next fight? Yeah, just that he didn't know that they were in a bath made for either close to dead bodies like Byakuya or people who have insane spiritual energy to withstand the heat from the bath, and food that'll already make me full just looking at it. *laughs* So yeah, enjoy the dessert and muscles and slimmed down Hikifune with the rack that puts Hiyori to shame lmao, because she is very right the next guy will be rough. Yeah, the guy who MADE the zanpakuto. *kreygasm* Without him this series wouldn't even exist. *laughs* Well, technically without him I wouldn't have loved this series because it'll only be Hollows and Quincies which is BORING~!! *laughs* Come on, swords are OP. *giggles* Anyways, moving on, next change, is Kyoraku is the new leader of the Gotei 13. And yeah, he'll make sure all his subordinates will move along with him to the 1st squad because goddamn with the burn down of the barracks I'm pretty sure there aren't any old dudes left to serve him so old dudes of Central 46 can we chill and let him make the decisions now? Thanks. *giggles* The last but not least change he made to the system is to literally disobey the council and request for the training of Zaraki Kenpachi in swordsmanship. The one which was banned even after the old geezer taught him just one lesson in kendo which we saw him take down Nnoitra with- Do you remember that fight or it's just me? *silence* I'll take that as consent so MOVING ON haha goddamn I'm going to speak about BLEACH to people and they will have no idea if I'm lying or not lol. So yeah, spoiler alert, Kyoraku then called upon the trainer who will facilitate Zaraki's (and that's why I'm using his given name from here on) training to get him to know the sword's name he has been holding on to after stealing it from some rando shinigami: Unohana Retsu. Or actually, Yachiru Kenpachi. We will talk about the deja vu you might be experiencing now from just the name I remember there was backstory for this, but man, this first Kenpachi is going to hit Zaraki so hard his zanpakuto is going to awaken. Haha it's like Ichigo when he fought Zaraki too, remember Zangetsu came in to save him? Yeah, history repeating itself, boys. And I guess the best part about this fight so far is literally Unohana sh*ttalk on him all over the place like feminism is king in the underground prison barracks of Seireitei haha just because she is technically right that the Kenpachi over generations have gotten weaker- How did they even do the 1-on-1 fighting thing to take over each Kenpachi's place over the years? *laughs* So yeah, in case you thought Ichigo is a water pipe without a tap, Zaraki here is a water dam but without the flood gates. *giggles* All in all though, man we do have a lot of progression just this episode alone but yeah it's all over the place, but looks like we will continue our focus for the Kenpachi fight for now before we continue on the adventures of Ichigo and Renji in the Palaces which I'm probably more keen on. But considering that I know the former less from the original work and really wish to see more concept stuff added in, let's hope the decision for the fight of the Kenpachis will be one of the best fights for this season. We are also just at the precipice of even more new exciting stuff we will be witnessing at this final arc, and I'm only going to be hyped for every single one of them just because. Can't wait for more action next week this fight alone is already rad

[TL:DR; Hey, you think the voice behind Unohana ever imagined the day she had to voice an evil villain when she accepted the role back in 2004? I wouldn't. Oh she was Suu-chan in "Love Hina"? Haha today I learnt]

BEFORE
(I won't judge, if you are a fan of these body types)

AFTER
(I like how they ensured the proportions stay the same hehe)

Or when my bro and I saw Sumipe's photobook haha

P.S. "Which parents tell their kids to hold their breath underwater and count to 100?" Well Ichigo, fair point haha

P.P.S. "Seems like you have gone distrustful after what you have learnt from Urahara Kisuke" Yeah no shit *ahem* as a discipline of his I know that too haha "Hearing your horrible food critique is ruining my meal" Me when my colleagues keep talking about the lunch we ate haha

Please, this is not the real Yachiru

Yes, the real Yachiru.
*nods head*

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

"I have a baby sister?!" Yeah dude I dream of that reality every day haha

"You've stopped sinking" Is probably what all of us have heard from our swimming instructors at some point in our lives before we actually knew how to swim. *giggles* In this FLASHBACK EPISODE haha again?? Man, this episode can only mean that many things (#UzakiChanS211) as Sakurai ponders about his life and specifically his relationship with the girl known as Uzaki Hana. *giggles* Ami-chan and Sakaki are totally enjoying their dinner with her talking about Sakurai for days to come haha and knowing this girl won't even do anything about it, Sakaki at least is probably glad to see that Sakurai might be looking forward after his visit back home and seeing him back at work at the cafe. Well, at least, that's what we saw. Because apart from just going home and seeing his family gaining a new member but not through adoption or the dad f**king another woman lmao can he even though, the dad just barely, and I mean that then I said BARELY, taught him a lesson during their judo session (lol) to inquire about his love life and/or find out more about how much of a wuss he is dealing with boy-girl relationships just like how I would if I had such a girl in my life which I don't. *silence* Anyways haha why am I the one sad now, the mother taught those two men a lesson because they didn't finish their battle before dinner time lmao she's the MVP by the way, is still not better than a lesson from Nodoka-chan here who is so cute the only thing I learnt is that I rather deal with this family than whatever the Uzaki family is compromised of. Not even with Tsuki-san, no. *laughs* Also, I thought the gathering of so many men in the café I like how Ami-chan just saw herself out lmao, would actually trigger some sort of thing in Sakurai considering on one side we have Fujio and the guys from the gym actually knowing the other side Akihito who runs the shop- That's Ami-chan's dad by the way. But instead, we have triggers of people getting jealous on the advisory panel here YOU GUYS LITERALLY KNOW HER!!! *laughs* But yeah, assuming none of them are in sync lol how can this work at such close range I don't even know this is worse than wireless tech from the 90s, but in case you did not realize, the only thing Sakurai probably got away with all this is probably what his dad mentioned, that he should not leave the girl hanging. Literally. So yeah, he decided to push her away, as seen from Uzaki being rejected of a Christmas celebration together with this ex-loner turned not loner and reverting back as of now. What will happen for their Christmas though? I mean, I know what mine is but do you want to tell me again, me? *laughs* *sob* All in all... The guys around Sakurai are just carpet bombing hints to this poor dude I can't even. *laughs* But yeah, I guess Sakurai is taking a hint or two now that he realized his relationship with this kouhai isn't going anywhere. How are we going to conclude next week if he keeps thinking like this, right? *giggles* Hey you too Uzaki, don't think you can run away from this too. Ugh, my head hurts. *laughs* So yeah, let's see if Sakurai's current stand by letting her go will make any of them feel better about this. We shall see.

[TL:DR; "How can my son be to frighteningly useless?" Wow reality check on me, dad? Relax haha]

Who is this week's MVP? You decide:
The mom, dude, just teaching dudes a lesson

Who is this week's MVP? You decide:
Just cute Madoka-chan hehe

P.S. "Sorry, how cheeky of me when you are teaching me and everything!" Uzaki Hana when she was humble back in high school lmao

P.P.S. "We gotta make (Uzaki) talk more now that she's good and sloshed" Sakaki with the pro media strats haha

["I love taking taxis with other people's money!" Hey Ami-chan don't use too much of your husband's money alright? It's for the baby- Wait. *laughs*]

How you know you're in a sponsored livestream lmao

This is too real because if your mom doesn't serve you this much rice when you visit? Change your mom now
(Haha)

アニメ Koukyuu no Karasu

"Your concern for me is unnecessary" Girls when I ask of their safety lol

Wow we are witnessing a murder live on national TV? YIKES dude. *ahem* In this new episode which I assume is the signal for the final arc of the series (#KoukyuuNoKarasu11), we are dealing with vampires? *laughs* B*tch said she needed blood so- They are called kyonshi in this Chinese universe, by the way. Anyways, we are not quite there yet, so let's talk about what is there. Firstly, the Minister's advice is there. Always there. Reminding Jusetsu every time she visits probably until he has to retire to his hometown and stay at his brother's place... he will remind her with every silver hair he has on his face. *giggles* What's probably more impressive is how he can remember how many games of Go he played with the previous Raven Consort who is also his acquaintance, could not even pretend to lose to our dear main girl here as we see her get trashed by the emperor haha period drama, by the way. *ahem* The Minister is also advising her to not have too much fun in the palace as that will imprint on her her own monster within which I would say sounds like a great thing if we're talking about in the bedroom but not really as a messenger of a god, I don't think. *silence* What else is there is also this week's case, where as you would remember from the previous episode someone was killed under a tree stump. Well, sucked off blood apparently, so you can guess if you have watched enough of just supernatural media in general what that might be. Our current clues are getting more obvious as the episode progresses because from the Magpie Consort being in bed and refusing to listen to any of her servants BUT just the one servant by the way, also was the one who requested upon Jusetsu's premises to ask to revive someone from the dead, probably is now heartbroken and/or unwell due to the passing of some guy she loved that isn't the emperor. *ahem* Hey, at a time of weakness, it wouldn't be surprising to know that someone will come to her assistance, promising her of the power to revive the dead. Just, you don't know the price to pay because you're always bedridden. *wink* For that, I wouldn't even bother thinking that whoever that dude is coming to kill Jusetsu will be a threat, because whatever we mentioned earlier is already a problem not even considering the political consequences of sending her home. The last thing I want to mention that is there and probably will be even after all this time, is the Raven Consort's social circle. Never in probably any Winter King's life did they get more liberty to make this many friends and/or acquaintances despite being a god messenger and exorcist living her life in solitude all this while. And yet, Jusetsu is worried about getting them all involved till the point she won't even carry out some of the investigations herself, putting them in danger. Hey, sending the eunuch off and telling him to come back by nightfall is great IF he listened, but if you know we might be dealing with something scary at the dark of night then maaaybe don't let him go at all, yes? Nonetheless, the Summer King is here, so let's see if they can be of any help. Oh yeah, next week we are starting with a fight, I tell ya. You thought Bianyue last time possessing Jiu-Jiu was a problem?? Yeah, wait till THIS happens and you tell me. *cringe* Anyways, great episode, great lead-up, I want to time travel to next week to see what happens now lol but I can't, so let's wait in patience. You know, at my own abode, at night, with a well lit light source, where them vampires can't get me. *giggles* See you at your safe places soon.

[So uh, you think the reason the previous Raven Consort died is because of this "owl"? Or that she can't fight against it? Maybe dude, but Jusetsu technically hasn't found a successor so that's a problem? Or maybe that's how to break the cycle by not losing to this thing I guess]

This week's drawing contest we have:
No really, this could be anybody in a period drama

This week in Xingxing's life we have:
No madness, no screams, just peace.

P.S. "(Jiu-Jiu) is not a bad girl" Hey guys if Kouno Marika isn't bad that will be a problem to me so *giggles*

P.P.S. "Eight is a holy number" Yup that's some old Chinese belief for you folks out there it represents prosperity if you read the syllable wrongly lol

Her eating sweets is just making me sad about my childhood lol

Me when my parents talk about my future when we have dinner haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week on Klassic Note is still quite a week for December as I try to close up most of the releases I listened this year so I can give them awards and rankings and stuff. Still, TWEEDEES' new album isn't all too bad at least the title songs aren't bad so that's already a plus. ClariS' new cover mini-album did include an original song just like the previous ones but unlike the previous ones I finally decided to give it considering the Christmas mood and overall typical of a familiar melody, could not even compare to the super idol-focused AMUSE VOICE ACTORS CHANNEL 1st album which is just filled with nothing but pop music so stereotypical Anime-style I rather not give any songs at this time of the year. *silence* Hey, I already rejected Waki Azumi and Tomita Miyu from last month you think I don't dare to reject the latter again in her talent agency-based music release? Haha why not

So the new news from Twitter this week for Japanese music is here and there as strong as it can be at this time of year so it's just for next year, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's new single will release in February which will be for Anime BORUTO series, I guess we only get to listen to yucat's new album trailer because even if it sounds dope who knows when we can get it on music streaming services or even to the general public this is also event only just like her buddy Niitsu Yui, Takahashi Rie's new song and even her being in a livestream (which I missed) to reveal more of her upcoming EP and music video isn't too bad if I don't have to go around giving the rapping or speech part of the song, Aimer's new music video will be revealed next week in time for her mini-album release so if you are a fan stay tuned, I legit thought voice actress Kido Ibuki would make me listen to another Kitani Tatsuya song but this... would hardly be called a song and this year is up so maybe not, TWEEDEES' music video backlog is finally in full on YouTube to make us remember the classics from the first two album which are still better than the future ones imo, Hanazawa Kana's new song preview is really a meh despite being written by her favourite composer Kitagawa and this might just make me not want to give the Anime she will be in to to be honest we shall see, I am not going to give a damn about Ikimonogakari's producer HIROBA 1st album release next year I'm really done with them life is not real without Hotaka-san haha, and ironically Natsukawa Shiina's latest music video has broke out of preview stage so it's not in full on YouTube replacing the preview so don't go finding that they want the views from the original video lmao ok dude.

So next week, we have some releases to talk about, namely Aimer's new mini-album as she started with a single this year she is ending the year with another release I hope it will be good though my impressions of the songs inside might not be, and Krage's new mini-album which started from Anime "Koukyuu no Karasu" so this might be a walk in the park. As in, just a walk, passing by, and if I give anything new apart from the ending theme song which blew my mind I will inform again.




So yeah, we are done for the week. Which also means the weekend is over. *sigh* Damn me, don't be this sad. Just two more weeks and we will have quite a break ahead of us even over till the new year. *wink* See you guys then, and until next time... someone tell me in another timeline I was in Nan-chan's release event livestream and commenting something which made her happy. I hope. *giggles* I'm sorry dear imouto, *says in Harry Mason* I'm sorry... okay back to programming haha bye

Klassic Note Welfare Package December 2022: Preparing for 2023

So oh well me, can we not b*tch about how I LITERALLY had to wait another day before consolidation to include another item in this package I had to pay a sh*tload of shipping fees to determine my next 12 months??? Yeah, this package in a nushell haha

Anyways guys, welcome back. Ironically I thought I will be doing this next week but I guess the post office is working weekends again so might as well stop ****ing (playing, playing video games haha) and do this up! Next time around will be a month later because all of them don't like to come in at once and the forwarding service which is not my friend only had a month's limit so f**k me we just get through what we have now! I mean, these ones here are important they will determine my next year apart from marupi-chan lol and no I did NOT buy her TWO photobooks it was sold out immediately in the event and AFTER the event and I DO NOT EVEN CARE lmao *dabs*

Okay, can we just remove those swear words up there in the previous paragraphs so we can appreciate more of these... these stuff my parents will swear at me for? Haha I need to move out soon but before that!!

The Fanclub Membership Service: The Appetizer [Redux]

marupi Raffle Goods: Third Time's (Not) The Charm

Toyota Moe 2023 Calendar: The Heavyweight

!@#$UNBOXING!!! I am somehow doing this once a month and I'm not tired about it haha my wallet is though lol I got gifts to give out this season and Japan's declining currency is not helping

In case you wonder why the box is so big...
Not poster, please no we can't do that anymore haha *wink*

What a mess of happiness, regret, and repetition haha

Wow did they just bury marupi-chan at the bottom away from the other items?
Geez haha

The letter that I had to send to here via international shipping (ugh)
Around the barcode from the top clockwise is my name, when my membership will expire, and member number

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

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

So yes, if you are getting serious deja vu I won't blame you because I actually replicated the shots too haha, we are back with Minase Inori fanclub "Inori Machi" subscription!! And maybe that's why Akarin's fanclub is better lmao they don't come with these, I had to ship this membership card and holder to me even if it technically canned with the membership fee. So, I've already enjoyed looking at her fan club's online content for like, 2 months now (you get notified by email, and Twitter) but this will be the first physical item I'll receive from her-

I'm sorry for the deja vu drop I am literally copying from that post now lol go read that yourself to understand how this works. And to prevent this from happening again in the future I... might just continue this subscription this time around haha or maybe not ask me again in September haha

(Interesting fact though: I really intended to sign up the fanclub exactly one year later it expired ie. 31st October 2021 but THEN forgot that you had to renew the yearly subscription a month early so I should register for the fanclub on 30th November... which I did a month earlier. So screw me haha)

It was at this point that I realized maybe replicating what I took about 2 years ago might be a better joke haha

As you may notice, the first time was 18866 which I thought felt like a better number than 26921
(Also, how many people were like me or are they all first time registrations within two years?)

Yeah and that's why I had to put the minimum amount for the shipping- Why do they think I can't ship items which are bundled with something else or are free?

And damn did I mention this some time ago and already hinted on how bad this one went, for THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR Jesus Christ I need to stop rolling more of these marupi Raffle after event goods!! If you have not heard of this online raffle service OR know about the world of Japan and their obsession of gacha-like mechanics, this... new idol and gravure model or something in between maybe now actor born from Instagram followers *breathes in* has been on gravure magazines for too many times one hand might not be enough (because you might be using your other hand to-) and probably took too many photos and so services like these allow them to offset some of them to get a lot of money because what are duplicates in this market. *laughs* Because this is still a physical gacha service, I had to ship in all the stuff that I won even if they are the same or even if they are large posters or even if I did not win the top prize unlike what I did the previous time. Regardless, you will be greeted with her cleavage whether you think they are big or not. *silence* Man, I'm totally done after this run haha don't inform me if you are offsetting your photos from the TWO photobooks you released recently into this raffle again I freaking swear (haha)

And because the element of surprise is broken the moment I got THIS MANY DUPLICATES??
I'll prepare the fire to burn the dupes haha

The main problem with this time around is I got waaaay too little digital bromides as seen from the full listing compared to the other runs so WTF

Dude, this is A LOT of bubble wrap for just one bromide photo haha

Shout out to the last time I see such a slip it was for a calendar I never hung-

Perfection.

So yes this is THE MOST PROMPT I have a calendar delivered for use for the next year we will have no missed days I assure you, this is Toyota Moe's 2023 calendar!! Due to her recent happenings celebrating her 10th anniversary as a voice actress (yes, if you don't know of her till now it's understandable; I knew her through Itou Miku and their idol group Pyxis) and that's why she got under the spotlight trying to crowdfund her solo music mini-album and production be like why not get her a calendar too and here we are a month ago. It didn't take long to make the decision considering there isn't much early competition and I'm not intending to get a Minase Inori calendar through her fanclub (lmao me please don't) and I DID promise to get a new girl every year so Moeshi~!!! *giggles* This is a two-month page calendar so total 6 images plus the cover and thank goodness they threw in a making page in case we want to see just more images of her for a couple of days. *laughs* Similar to the one I got for Uesaka Sumire a couple of years ago (Sumipe had one this year too) so also tearaway from the top... We see a lot of similarities considering they are likely made by the same manufacturer. *silence* So yeah, welcome Moeshi; Your past photobooks may not be on my shelf but this one will be on a wall here. *giggles*

Oh, and there is an official shop but it was also sold on major Anime shops so I got mine from Animate just so I can get a free bromide photo. *dabs*

(If I had a second choice though it would be just announced Sano Hinako whom I reviewed her photobook recently but that'll be table-sized and not wall calendar and it's just bikini so *shrugs* haha also Ishihara Kaori this b*tch tried to snipe me with the close-up shots I've seen from her Instagram lol *ugh* heartache)

To start the year? Yeah rather appropriate- I think you can see this is taken in a studio and not outdoors lmao

I may just hang this page a little longer than 2 months just because

And just because I don't want to spoil all of us here's the final page with all the outfits
(Or you can just go to her Twitter where she already spoiled everything tbh)

And this is all for the year! I know this is also a short write-up but as I said they don't like to align the stars together so I just had to pay more for shipping which SUCKS I should just move to Japan or know someone there who can help me compile this. *silence* See you guys tomorrow for Entertainment News then haha, where hopefully with my mom wanting to go outdoors with the rest of us who don't want to, I can still have dinner with my family for my sis' birthday. We shall see how much I will need to rush through these then haha bye

The Entertainment News 2022 Edition Issue #49

And that's why we need 4-day work weeks because this is pretty much it on Sundays after I thoroughly enjoyed Saturday but considering I have a China boss that might be impossible- Maybe I should not put this as the intro haha I'm such an idiot like my boss-

Anyways haha, last night I dreamt of some movie plot after watching someone (lol) play The Callisto Protocol. It's not like that plot but the plot twists and stuff might be similar, involving a plot of actually figuring out why someone would have to buy back their own famous artwork but- Oh oops, too much information right there I need to submit my own spec script so I can be the next Makoto Shinkai so if you would excuse me...

I wrote this intro right after breakfast and the next package is ready for shipping so let's talk about Anime and music and whatnot! Happy birthday to Minase Inori though; I can't see you half-naked so I'll at least listen to your... songs...? Haha ah hey she never showed us more than thighs, mind you WHERE IS THE PHOTOBOOK EVEN RIKACHIMALU WITHOUT AN AGE RELEASED ONE okay me lmao

アニメ Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen

"Stay in the 4th squad barracks; That was what the Head Captain (Yamamoto) ordered us to do" *sob*

Man, now that old geezer is gone... now what? Hey, in this new episode where we will need new leadership (#BLEACHTYBW08), let's talk about not what happened or else I'm going to cry like Isane lol, but about what should happen next. So first, about everyone who survived. No really, not going to talk about the dead; I don't want to b*tch like Soifon who can't cry like a baby because she can't look forward to the future of the spiritual world unlike Kyoraku- BOOM GOT HER. *laughs* Then again, Renji and Rukia are fine I guess but definitely not in a condition to fight no more- You telling me Byakuya and Kenpachi didn't die?? WHAT THE F**K WHY CAN'T MORE PEOPLE DIE- Oh they are main characters *laughs* So yeah, as you can see here, most people survived but that doesn't mean they are in a state to fight in any capacity considering the Quincy enemy might only be out for a night or two *wink*, we probably still need to think of a way to assemble what is left of the Gotei 13. Speaking of assembling, we have Ichigo's broken sword. Byakuya's too but not like he can use it now so ANYWAYS lol Ichigo got called in by Mayuri and THEN told him his sword is also beyond repair because ironically just like an Arrancar's released sword a shinigami released sword is also not recoverable upon damage so what else is new lol. So looks like we're not in much of a state to fight against even just Hollows at this point lmao, so I guess the higher-ups came in to help. Cue Zero Squad and their five captain members, and if you need a slight recap, let's just say they live above the Seireitei dealing with protecting the Soul King we have so known about all these years that Aizen has never seen it even after so many years. Their purpose in coming down is basically, as the baldie "leader" has mentioned haha, to assist the Gotei 13 in recovery... in accordance of the Soul King's awakening. Hmm... all of that is suspicious and all considering he's- Oops, too much info again haha, but we quickly see the prowess in their hot talk against the... that's 13 minus 2 down minus 1 dead so 10 captains who have gathered plus Ichigo of course- Welcome to math class, everybody. *laughs* We will talk about the origins of the five Zero Squad members soon enough since we will be doing a round robin of all the people when we are up there with orange hair haha, but suffice it to say that if you thought Kon being in Soul Society with his head opened up so we can communicate with Urahara is a joke, then these guys are even more of a joke- Like, one of them literally got influenced to do the Hip-Hop stuff in the 70s, right? *laughs* And then there's Unohana's acquaintance who looks like he's a past gang member in the Yakuza video game series. *giggles* it's just that hair bro- You wanna do like, "One Night Carnival" with your bros? *laughs* That's a 90s J-Pop joke right there for you peeps haha hey I knew that as a kid not in Japan so that was some level of influence. *giggles* We have handy pickpocket who fetched all the injured AND Ichigo's sword from Mayuri's lab like we don't need security in here lol, and some fat b*tch who was hungry wanting to eat Shinji lmao but I PROMISE YOU that will be the best out of the five once we're done... looks like we have quite a team in here to be honest. *laughs* All in all... FANTASTIC EPISODE as always please keep it up, we will not talk about how the Shiba family knew of the one and only Kurosaki Isshin as 10th squad captain OR the Fullbringers OR Grimmjow haha no really we can do that reunion stuff later, but can we just appreciate how colourful everything looks after what was essentially grey and fire red? *laughs* Man, that'll keep us going, and with our first stop of recovery at hand and Ichigo enjoying the bath of replacing blood with hot water lmao I feel like I need it too can I join in? *giggles* It's like kidney dialysis, but better. *laughs* We will soon realize how useful this trip towards powering up our main characters (lol) will be considering everyone else down there don't even need it and can probably do better than them. *silence* Haha we shall see the difference when they go through the antics of the Zero Squad next week!

[TL:DR; "You drove the enemy boss away!" Well in Ichigo's defence he really didn't, it was the old man (RIP) who did that tbh not even Kenpachi did anything lol]

When I talk about "bloodbath" I don't think anyone would literally mean this lol

When my friends arrive at the chalet when I took the bus before them lmao

P.S. It is kinda cringe to see that the one and only Yamada Hanataro is ACTUALLY working his own job at 4th squad taking care of patients and Ichigo. *silence* I missed the days when WE were the ones invading Soul Society lmao

P.P.S. "So this is the place Aizen desperately wanted to come to..." Yeah and Ichigo just waltz into here LIKE A BOSS!! Haha oh well Aizen that's why it sucks to not be main character haha *dabs* "We either choose to let you come in with us (into the palace)..." Yeah so for you tech nerds out there it's like a hardwired IP filter lol

[And with more good news and that's probably why that listing had a season number slapped on it, ALL, and I mean all, of BLEACH episodes are now on Amazon Prime Video! All the filler episodes too (ack), and the movies! Yeah, just watching Ikkaku's bankai is already making me wonder whether I should even touch any of the episodes afterwards lmao it took a dip from there alright]

Me when my friends ask if I want to meet up every year lol

MFW I wake up on Monday morning haha

Me when I imagine <insert voice actress name here> naked hehe

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

"Can you take your top off??" LET'S GO haha Sakurai dude

Oh wow it's kinda early but Merry Christmas, everyone. *laughs* You guys having some celebrations and a trip to Universal on your employer's account? *laughs* *dabs* Anyways haha, in this new episode where it's Christmas again but now we have Fujio-san lmao (#UzakiChanS210), well maybe not that far yet but we are setting that up to say the least. On the drinking party Ami-chan is having (lol) with the whole gang here but NOT Sakurai this time around haha so Sakaki and Uzaki of course, we just ended up hearing stories of Uzaki talking about her senpai which isn't too surprising so now these two are also caught up on the lore like we do just for even the first half of the episode where Uzaki really doesn't appreciate the gentleman in Sakurai to let her borrow his shirts and even underwear (I assume boxers) to wear at his place. Damn. *laughs* Also, she doesn't know what is gentleman, huh. As expected of a middle schooler- Haha ah hey, Yanagi said it. *laughs* And horror, not letting your girl watch horror movies. *giggles* I may, but if my partner is dear Waki Azumi that might not work. I'll try for Kitou Akari. *giggles* Anyways, Thai horror movies are the best 15 years ago haha, and as an apology for... everything I guess lmao, Uzaki decided to stay the night out of fear of ghosts appearing in her life now, cooking him breakfast and lunch the next day to compensate. So wait Uzaki, that's it. Food. Food is Sakurai's weakness, not horror. *giggles* Then, we talk about why Sakurai isn't in the drinking party. He had to go home. Because he didn't in two years. Because more importantly, the dad summoned him, but as in why he wasn't summoned back earlier probably was due to the fact that the mother is babysitting... his imouto. *laughs* Yep, I can only envy Sakurai this much I want one so bad but not like my 60-year old mom will deliver lmao- Introducing Sakurai Madoka-chan who is 8 months old, and only on the behest of the mother missing the son and asking the dad to get him back home DID HE THEN call the son to call him back, actually thought he's better off away so these two parents can flirt with each other to have kids halfway through their forties. Man, the mom is strong, I'll give you that. *laughs* Plenty reasonable way to making sure the son stays away from their marriage but damn, you do this after 20 years? Okay dad. *laughs* Man, wished my dad had such plans- MOVING ON haha we should really not think too much into this lest Uzaki asks too much into this honestly lmao, we have not yet concluded on the actual event: Spending Christmas with the senpai/kouhai depending on whose side you're on. *giggles* All in all though, definitely a great change of pace from smelling shirts and horror movies to your parents making out while you're at college lmao, and maybe this is what will end the season this time. Christmas, I mean. *laughs* Will Uzaki actually have to take the initiative to do something on the special day? Hey, I know Sakurai won't do it and not because he's not a gentleman but Uzaki you can. Hehe we shall see when the time comes I guess

What we expected coming in to this series
(Hell yeah haha ah)

What happened lmao
(HOW WRONG IS THIS lol it's just Sakurai pregnant-)

P.S. "I'm sure senpai will invite me to something (this Christmas)!!" Man, Uzaki Hana, still dreaming huh. *laughs* "Because I'm special to senpai!" Yup haha

P.P.S. "These oversized shirts (from senpai) are awfully comfy, but fine! You can have them back!" Oh? Is this a tsundere detection? "They don't smell like you anymore..." Uh huh haha

[Someone tell me what I should do with the opening theme song when there's a full music video and IT STILL IS NOT IN STREAMING SERVICES!! Man, what happened lol]

Hey angel Uzaki-chan is cute tbh but why does it look like Yanagi

Okay devil Uzaki might be too much even for me lol

Or shameful Uzaki-chan? Hehe
(Also, I legit thought 2L as in bromide size I am such an idiot)

アニメ Koukyuu no Karasu

"(My consort) prefers books over flowers" Oh that's a weeb right there haha is Huaniang into the Naruto series? *laughs*

I know right, recommending your granddaughter to the emperor. CRINGE haha *ahem*  In this new episode of a period drama by the way (#KoukyuuNoKarasu10), we learning about a lot of cursed stuff, huh. And the Raven Consort, heard that name too often to be good. Say, you think everyone else in the palace knows of the Winter King? *giggles* I know right, that might be a problem sooner than later, I guess. Rumours, you know. What isn't a rumour though, is our new guest this episode. Haha yeah, like, as in the ghost haunting the mask that moves when the music of a lute is played, by the way. Strange, perhaps, and yes the emperor thought it a great idea to bring this mask into the attention of Jusetsu which I would argue why would you lol this is not how friendship works dude haha, still decided to help release the soul into Paradise because why not, right? Anyways, that lute player who played in some bar downtown (lol) isn't in the capital right now and I don't think she is the culprit, so we had to ask around to know that the guy possessed in the mask was someone from the palace, as a lute player, actually. From his acquaintance in the Hall itself, we then learnt of how bad everyone played compared to this master player but because he wasn't that social he wasn't further invited to events to show his skill... Why do I see a similarity between this and modern indie artists today? *ahem* But yeah maybe it's his obsession, or maybe his anger of not feeling recognized, but yeah, maybe that's why he hasn't departed even thought he hanged himself in spite of his lute being confiscated, I guess. *ahem* So yeah, we are going to play it so bad the guy is just going to come out of the mask haha hey I would if I were a legend of the five-string lute. And so he did, but it wasn't so bad the spirit had to rip that lute apart from his... superior? Yeah, who can't play for sh*t? Haha okay jokes over, but probably was happier to hear it again despite not being able to play it. Probably also why he did day and night and if not stopped will just turn into a demon just like Jusetsu mentioned. *silence* Damn. All in all.. holy crap dude what has this Anime not done to my heart and soul? *laughs* Ah hey, I'm just not that guy who is envious of the lute player, dude, just saying. But as we see the corpse of freshly dead... I'd like to believe that's Huaniang herself so RIP but probably not I guess lol (also bye whoever voiced her Ueda Reina), this might be a problem even for the emperor himself. *ahem* Politics incoming I suppose will be ending the series? *ahem* Also suicide be a frequent thing back then lol let's see if this will cause any trifle with the old man we saw- They are all old men what am I saying haha they don't know anything about the Raven Consort she cute-

Oh wow we continuing the drawing from last week? Oh it's a mask
Why does it look so much like the Premiere though lmao

This week on Xing-Xing we have:
Aw so cute I told you this golden chicken is MVP

P.S. "You are not doing as you are told" Uh oh we got narced WHO SOLD OUT ON US? Is it you, God??*laughs*

P.P.S. "I thought (this mask where you can see a ghost) would interest you" F**k me dude this emperor is like "my friend loves spirits and ghosts what should I show her" and I'm like NO. NO DUDE. *laughs*

If I would every pick up cooking, it's because of this girl hehe

This will be me most of the time if I was a woman lol

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm how should I even start this week on Klassic Note... I don't even have the Anime "Uzaki-chan" theme song single (I did not dream of this FYI) to talk about but I guess I did end up giving the ending theme first I guess. I mean, I've already given the opening theme from the music video already so what gives with the cancellation?? *sigh* Maybe I should do myself a favour and make believe the single's existence and give the songs first; This is seriously disrupting my review schedule. *giggles* On other things though, I did not give good credit to Waki Azumi's new concept album which yes arguably it's better than Tomita Miyu's concept album a couple of weeks ago but goddamn I have seriously no mood to give any of these releases at this point so I guess I'm not touching them anymore from here on. Also, didn't realize Cocoro Auction's new EP released today and that's why I should just follow them on Twitter they released two EPs this year alone lol so I did check out the other EP but I think this newer one is better. Just one song better. *giggles* Last but not least, because remember last week I said I'll listen to mol-74's debut album if this week gets boring? I suppose emo alternative songs are still for me and their style really sinks into me so I think them from 2015 wins. Haha ah hey, it's unfair I just am not keen on idolism right now and thank goodness this might be end of it for the year. Just.

This week's music news on Twitter isn't that much but we will still talk about the important ones, SHE'S new live video is about their new song which I liked so that's good for them, Ryokushoku Shakai's new live video is here to remind me to put them on the ranks for this year's Song Awards lol, SID released more of their live audio footage on music streaming services so if you are a fan of them because honestly I'm not even close on that you should listen to them, Kitou Akari's fanclub event digest did reveal the new song she had on her fanclub anniversary which was also in her recent album but I did not give the song so *shrugs*, ClariS new cover album digest is good enough for the occasion at this time of the year so let's hope something will hit me by then next week, Fuchigami Mai's new music video is for her upcoming album next year and man did I not expect an emotional track so that's already a good start, miwa is releasing a Valentine's Day-themed concept EP next year so maybe she might be my Valentine by then to be honest which sounds great considering her performance this year to be really good for mainstream artist, and last but not least this is hot off the press, Niitsu Yui's 2nd album has been announced and man I might as well say as of now it's an event only release due end of the year so... maybe we wait for digital at some point. Fingers crossed for the good stuff here due next year, people. Oh and also Higuchi Ai is on THE FIRST TAKE I realized, singing the one song we all knew her from in "Attack on Titan". Man, that Anime series needs to end lol

So next week though, I will talk about TWEEDEES' new album which dropped by just like, yesterday and I'm really done with this week so I will give that a listen probably from tomorrow onwards. Yeah they hate Wednesdays lol. For this one I also don't expect much so I'll just take the rest of the time thinking about the Song Awards I guess. Also KN15YEARS since I still care about that to be honest. *giggles* And maybe ClariS new cover album if I really care. Big "IF" right there.




Oh shout out and happy birthday to Itou Mayuki and Azusa Hikari on their birthdays which was right at the end of November apparently I found out only after knowing these girls for about 2 years now and maybe you should not find out about them after maybe recalling the former from our calendar review of her... naked- I can't show them without skin, dude. *laughs* On the other hand Inorin why can't I see- See you guys next week I guess haha *dabs*, and until then we don't have much until the end of the year so... maybe live through this year? Haha I will at least to see the calendar I bought for next year- You know how bizarre it is that my bro bought Sumipe photobook but not along with the calendar my parents don't buy their calendars?? UGH lmao

P.S. I'm really trying to shorten the Anime write-ups here so I don't think this is a chore every week but maybe I should stop this entirely to be honest then maybe we can watch more Anime or something who knows this is basically my life now lol I need to find a woman lmao
