Rest in peace.

Why, I feel accomplished. And wow, look at the time. 555. Kamen Rider is it. Lolx. I just sent an email to Morita-sensei at 0555h. Gosh. I hope she thinks I wake up early instead of I sleep very late. If she notices the time at all.

( Japanese short essay practice for Morita-sensei. 801 words. )

I actually spent much more time looking for an article (3h) to respond to and reading up background knowledge (1h) than on writing it (less than 1h).

( Chinese essay on 江淹《效阮公诗十五首》. 4570 words. )

Sorry I don't love 江淹. It's rather boring. The only part I had fun writing was the 《易经》 part.

1. Mini M-Ste - DAIGO is funny lolx. Yuusuke is funny. Maru getting shut out of the room is funny. How come they never knock on alan's (and the other group that I don't know too) door.

2. Talk - YOKO GJ!!! OMG. Haha. I've been thinking about Maru and Dokkun ever since I started watching Can!Jani (which is a show that will make everyone fall in love with Maru and go wth at Tacchon). This is so hilarious. Somebody needs to sub this. Gosh. Where does Dokkun's image go after this? Dokkun is like the only person who still has a "normal"-ish image in K8 right. I can imagine fangirls squealing at this. In a not that mentally healthy way ne. I'm amazed at Yoko. When well, this is not the first time his talk ends up rather shimoneta-ish. Lolx.

3. Perf - The part of the stage behind K8 is so busy. Mic there - juniors in - juniors & mic out - door open & drums forward - Tacchon plays drum & go back to the line - drums backward - juniors in. In 3 minutes. And then K8's perf is as LIVE as always (not "lively", "LIVE"). Subaru + Dokkun tends to sing half a note higher, Subaru tends to drag beats, most of the rest you cannot expect anything (lolx), and Yasu is yar probably the most accurate person. I'm back to the argument: if you watch K8 on music shows, how can you say JE is all lip-synch? I doubt anyone will go out of key when they lip-synch =.= But then K8 always like to talk about その一瞬一瞬にしか出来ないライブ感 so I guess they are very true to their stand. However bad it ends up ne. Lolx.

[Edit 2] 9 Nov 8pm JST. Monday orh. I'm rather sure I'm still on my way home when it starts. Argh my Hey!x3. I just realized that it changed from 4 groups of guests to 3 (guests + tokushuu). That's a good thing. That means longer talk! Downtown-san suki ya!

自首します。

It's totally not the time to be doing such things but I just watched the Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations OVA. I, er, have only watched random episodes of Tsubasa Chronicles on TV etc. Meaning that I generally know what is the storyline like but not what is really actually happening. I've somehow always wanted to watch this Tokyo arc though, cos it's, *cough*, SUBARU. Mou, the only comment I have is like. SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU!!!! I seriously seriously miss young!Subaru a lot a lot a lot. (Not that I don't like grown-up!Subaru but still.) I was telling YH that I wanted to read the Tsubasa manga parts that have Subaru inside but didn't know which volume it starts from and then she told me to search the internet. I was like. なるほど！ Hahah I felt stupid. Anyway the OVA was easier to find (because I wanted to look for raws for the manga but that is a bit hard), haha. Anyway. SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU!!!! (No this is not c&p-ed.) I'm rather glad I've started to like Shimono Hiro quite a lot lately, because if this was one year ago I would be a bit "ehhhh..." lolx. でも昴流はいい子だな～優しい子だな～本当に大好きだよ～CLAMP先生の作品の中に一番好きなキャラかもしれない。 Oh but really a lot of things happened in this OVA leh. Maybe it's cos there are only 3 eps so I found the pace a bit faster than usual (I can only judge by the few eps of the TV series I've watched before). And a lot a lot of explanation. But really... the Syaoran eye incident, how Fai got his eyepatch (this is not the focus of that incident though), Kamui-Fuuma-Subaru-Seishirou matters... It's like every single thing happening can warrant a spoiler tag. Lolx. But really, CLAMP-sensei needs to stop playing with eyeballs. I just realized that it happens super often in their stories. あとこれは言っておきたい。封真軽すぎ！ Haha. I was a bit... is that really Fuuma?? I was thinking, this person is too nice to be Fuuma!! Haha. Oh and Kazuki and Nataku... I was a bit hehhhh at them both appearing ne. Takayama Minami as Kazuki reminded me of Rantarou a lot lolx. Her Nataku is... a shock (in a good way). Hontou. One more last thing. When Syaoran went "雷帝招来！" I totally went "なつかしいぃぃ！！！" (Well I said the exact same thing when Clow's 魔法陣 appeared.)

Sorry for not lj-cutting this. Haha. My CLAMP ranting gets to me once in a while. Like once in 2 years. Ignore me!

Hmmmm...

いまさら？ Somehow a lot of things are rather いまさら lately. I liked Peace Maker Kurogane too. KOBAYASHI YUMIKOOOO!!!! Er ok that was MY whole point of that anime. It was probably this series that made me fall in love with Kobayashi Yumiko's voice (she is like THE やんちゃ・熱血 boy voice in my heart) haha. Maa the way the industry is now can understand the musical part. But. Then. TBS why take such a risk leh? I just saw the news about TBS having their first 赤字 in 12 years eh. If well in the end the whole cast is all people I don't know I won't be that interested (is a very cast-oriented person). Hmm. Okita in THIS series is... totemo muzukashii. 病弱美人で強いですもんね。長髪でちょっと悪戯っ子ですもんね。あの子ブタの何とかちゃんと仲良しですもんね。（←関係ねえ） Maa. And the series is rather bloody in some parts also ne. The first time Tetsunosuke saw Hijikata killing the bunch of people in the rain at night (or should I say Hijikata made him see), that scene was really very memorable! Although I'm rather sure (like 99.385% sure) it's a total original story ne. Oh but I hope Gin appears! And destroy that dunno what shop when he first meets Tetsu. And fight every single time they meet. Btw I like Tetsu's brother a lot. Forgot his name though. (I'm rather surprised at how much of the story I can remember. I remember there is the 池田屋 incident in the story also.)

Conclusion: I don't think this will turn out well. I think this is a bad bet on TBS part.

I wonder if it's Sawajiri Erika or Toda Erika. The world has just became a better place. Er no this is not about real life Erika(s). I thank Dokkun for having a huge fanbase that includes one of my favourite fic writers and I thank today for being Dokkun's birthday. For something that has been on hiatus ever since Dokkun's birthday last year I'm rather overjoyed that it suddenly got updated twice in like 2 weeks.

Haha I'm still so not into mugging yet. CH3221 exam is in exactly 7 days' time! Taihen da.

OMG!! Congratulations to Haruna Ai for winning Miss International Queen 2009!! (news) Did I ever mention I like Haruna Ai a lot? Ever since she started appearing on TV 2 years+ ago with her air-Ayaya? And her 言うよね～. Lolx. OMG she look so pretty after her diet! Really, if she doesn't speak (lolx) who would think she is a new-half (I like this word, lolx)!

Thanks to YH who asked me along to Kino but forgot to wait for my card before she pay, I ended up buy 3 volumes and ordering 2. And to think I avoided Kino for so long (read: 1 month!!!) just because I didn't want to spend on manga. Today's expenditure:

Haigakura 2
Amatsuki 10
Karneval 4
Olympos 2/end (order)
Rakudai Ninja Rantarou 46 (order)

*spoilers?*

Amatsuki seems to be going towards the real climax now that Yakou and Nue finally appears again and Toki is ready to pick a fight with Teiten. Haigakura is getting really, really interesting. Ran-sama is interesting. Karneval 4 is... can you stop making me like Yogi even more. Arghhhhh. Akari-senseixYogi FTW. Because they now all have a seiyuu cast I was reading it in the casts' voices and Tenkou and Yogi are starting to get mixed up in my brain. The shop assistant gave me a rather weird face when I was ordering Rakuran 46. Why, you have a problem with me (legal adult) reading Rakuran? I was like looking through all the anime magazines, and nearly all of them have some pick-up article about Nintama omg I nearly bought Animage (the one with China as cover) just because of that. (Er because I like Animedia more. Animedia is the only anime magazine that I buy.)

There are 8 Zero Sum titles in these 2 lists combined. Omg. How much do I love Zero Sum/WARD really!

[Edit] OMG. HAHAHHA. 祝いって言うか単なる嫌がらせでしょう！ Poor Nobu. But. Gosh. Sounds fun.

やっちゃった☆

I wonder if this is part of the DL contents Ho-san was talking about. Or is it the 獣耳 series? Hmm. As usual I totally fail at Yuri でもいろいろ（注：お団子が）ツボ過ぎて描きざるを得なかったわけで。 I was super amused by the gakuen Yuri + Flynn parodying Seishun Amigo cover (pixiv). Pi!Flynn and Kame!Yuri. いろいろと気に食わないキャスティングですがな！

でもとりあえず公式GJですよねこりゃ。学パロ流行ってるっていうことですよね。でもいいよ学パロいいよ好きですよ。 Student council president!Flynn. It can't get more correct than this, seriously. NBGI GJ!!!

I really should have been doing this this and that that.

Sign that I am actually working on assignments: I pull out the tablet from my laptop.

*starting on CH3221 like, finally*

Thanks to it I'm now reading up on 易经. Aren't I happy that I actually have 易经 with 白话翻译 at home. Lolx. Oh well. It's much easier to understand as compared to 庄子 anyway.

The way it's pouring every day now makes me happy. I like rain. And rainy days. I miss this kind of pouring kind of rain. I was rather sick of the drizzling/heavy drizzling in Japan. I like thunderstorms that rain so hard that umbrellas aren't of any use. And I will walk back home with my umbrella inside my bag.

看到外面下雨让我有点想写诗耶。

ROMES 2. 萌えた☆



This is so... ugly. I fail. Lolx. But this scene!!! I tried really hard to think why the scriptwriter wrote it this way, without being influenced by my BL brain cells. After pulling Sunamura with him, it's Narushima and Haru who did all the work right? Maa it's true that you need Sunamura to be there for the last part about "I thought Narushima-san is..."... the Sunamura monologue I mean. But... It's super hard to explain it from Narushima's perspective right? Other than that Narushima thinks Haru is his dog no.1 and Sunamura his dog no.2. Lolx. Like what Yasu says Sunamura is Narushima's "振り回されている彼女". I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!! YASU DID. I can only say. There is a romance line developing for Sunamura and that girl from that airline! (OMG it was so cute when Sunamura protected her from the burglars.) Narushima go away!!! Lolx. It's rather weird to see a romance line developing for a side chara but not the main chara ne. Oh and I kind of laughed when Narushima changed the system voice of ROMES to Haru's bark. And I'm amused by 杉浦太陽's chara and his cmi coffee-making skills. And then 国仲涼子かっこいい！！ Plus all the side characters are super interesting. Hahaha. I still think the two female burglars are super hot ./////. Lolx. I'm rather amused by the random mandarin the burglars spoke. And then the boss. What language is that?

Maa frankly speaking I wouldn't say the script is really all that fantastic (I think if you want to there are dozens of loopholes to pick... especially on ROMES itself) but people like me who watch for characters (not cast. NOT CAST) this is really interesting=)

Movie!Gintama = Benizakura arc??? Er... why???? 俺だって今更？って思ってしまったもん！ I mean. It's one of the arcs that even I got watched before eh (which is not a lot).

Yugioh 10th Anniversary 3D movie early next year. 3D??? Lolx. DM + DMGX + 5D's's (nani kore) main characters coming together! Although I have NEVER watched Yugioh but I was rather ammused at the cast announced so far. Maa, of course the main charas are Kazapon, KENN and Miyashita Yuuya. And then the boss chara is RonBuu's Tamura Atsushi? This is such a non-otaku-ish cast lolx. Maa of course now KENN is doing a LOT of seiyuu work but somehow I still don't really see him as a seiyuu ne. But then again. There is I guess nothing wrong with that... I haven't seen Kazapon's name ever since I stopped following JE stuff! Yappari Kazapon daisuki! Recently I kind of want to watch London Hearts. Maa speaking of RonBuu ne. Ok. This is so random.

And then I guess it somehow slipped my mind. About 0-gou Shitsu no Kyaku eps 1. The girl acting as Oh-chan's girlfriend. Is. TANAKA MIHO (田中美保). OMGGGG DAISUKIIIII. I kind of remember seeing the news that she will act in this but I promptly forgot that fact. I like her a lot ever since I started reading non-no (the fashion mag). And I still maintain my stand that Kitayama Hiromitsu (Kisumai member) and her are long-lost siblings. I am amused at how cute she is (and how kyaba-jou-ish she looks) with long hair! Because so far, I've been reading non-no for 4 years and she has NEVER had long hair. It's always been short/bob. I think this is only her second time acting or so but omg she is so cuteeeee. And. She looks taller than Oh-chan. Lolx. Shouganai desu, model desu kara. Basically she is my the other crush, other than Miyazaki Aoi. Hahaha.

This, this, this, this, this, this.
体育が好きです。（←バレバレだけど）カレンダーは本当に欲しい。小銭のトートバッグかわいい！小銭柄が大の気に入りで、もう。ワンコイングランデもちょっとヤバいっすね。絶対第二段とかが出そう。それとここにリンク張ってないけどメタル根付け第三弾の兵太夫と喜三太と団蔵がかわいくてしょうがないです！！！蒔絵シールとかも！もう欲しいもの多すぎてどうしようものか。

I have nothing very intelligent to say these days because the only thing I'm doing is to backlog all the Janiben since 1st April (the day I went Japan). Er ok the only thing I can say that don't sound very fangirl-crazy, is that it doesn't mean that you are a geinin you would be able to tell a story very engagingly. Like Nabeatsu who had his break over the number "3"... He is really super not interesting when talking eh! Cos I watched Hosshan.'s eps right after it and the diff was really... gosh.

3 simple steps to lead to my misery:

1. Er, still rely on your mother to wake you up at this age.

2. Said person wakes you up at 11am instead of 8am.

3. You have a lesson at 10am. Takes attendance, and you know no one there.

Maa. What can I say? Anyone can tell that it's my fault at the end. But then. I may be careless but I have never set alarm clock to 11am when I need to wake up at 8am before (SO WHO IS THE CARELESS ONE NOW????). WHY DOES EVERYTHING BAD HAPPEN DURING CH3221?? I know a lot of people pon even though got take attendance, but I'm NOT ready to tackle 郭璞 on my own!!! Even yumegal only wrote a lot of stuff for the first poem on her 郭璞 notes (the rest are empty!!). And who knows what hints sensei decides to give for writing essay/exam today!!!

Sigh. I seriously don't know anyone in the class eh... don't have anyone to ask what happened in class. だから一人でクラス取るの嫌なんだよ。 So how leh. The blank notes very intimidating leh...

ROMES 1 - First eps of drama finished in like 2 years? I am suddenly very proud of myself. I thought it was interesting! Conclusion: ここもまさかのN○Kの本気！ (N○K、恐るべし。)I will never admit that I was once a fan of Ohyass. NEVER. But. *cough* Narushima: "I've never seen someone who shows as much emotion on the face as you. You remind me of something." "Right, that's it, you remind me of a dog! You're an interesting one, Sunamura. *walks off*" Sunamura: "I'm a human!!" ツッコミどころはそこか！っていう。本人とまったく変わらないね、ツッコミがずれている所は。てか、何その絶妙の身長差！いつものことだけど。 (And then is it just me or does it really feel as though they know each other for very long during this scene? The way Tacchon looks into Yasu's eyes. OK FINE IT DOESN'T HELP THAT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE OHYASS FIC WAS UPDATED NOT LONG AGO AFTER ONE WHOLE YEAR HIATUS. Yes I'm talking about When Saints Come Marching.) Ok other than that the main point is. THE FEMALE BURGLARS ^/////^ OMG LOLX. And then 国仲涼子 was cool in that action scene! Haha. I realized I can't recognize her haha. But seriously, I think this time Tacchon has gotten a very very good role. Compared to like in Yasuko to Kenji =.= (That is to say... Tacchon has never been/will never be/can never be oujisama-like.) Whoever casted Tacchon in this is a genius. And probably has high hopes in Tacchon.

Kimi ni Todoke 1-3 - 浪川は本気だぁぁぁあああ！！！！という。I, er, am a sucker for pure shoujo stories. That is probably already rather clear though... This is the first time I really thought how knowing what is the seiyuu like will spoil one's dreams. You know, like how they will refuse to show their faces to media because they "don't want to spoil the kids' dreams"? Yar that one totally applies to Namikawa Daisuke. I can imagine innocent young girls starting to want to know more about him because he is Kazehaya's seiyuu and finally realizing how cruel is the real world when they hear him in like radio or free talks. (Don't get me wrong, I find him interesting.) 風早君が爽やか過ぎる件について。 Not possible. NOT POSSIBLE. KAZEHAYA IS DEFINITELY FICTION. 100% FICTION!!! And then Ryu and Chizu are sooooo together hahahaha. I get so distracted by them all the time k...

Inazuma Eleven 53-55. I like Inazuma Eleven, ignore me. Poor Gazel. Maa the main thing is that I'm happy to start understanding the neta in Teburo. I wonder how long will it take for Fubuki to start playing again. Lolx. At first I thought it was interesting that the main chara is actually a goalkeeper = super rare in soccer stories, but 55 onwards he's going to change position ne... Sigh.

Gintama 180 - Shouyou-sensei!!! No wonder they said his cast was 超豪華. Yamadera Kouichi omg. I haven't been watching Gintama at all though.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 4 - What can I say, Mikoto. You get called tsundere by a person you meet for the first time. How obvious can you get, *cough*. Maa but then I don't think Touma will ever like Mikoto ne. So. She should learn to be content with Kuroko! Lolx. Anyway I never knew her ability can do that also eh! It was never said in the Index series. Hmm. But that time on the bridge in Index that is considered she won right? Hmm. Think was right before the whole thing about the "sisters" and Accelerator come up? I'm trying to fit Railgun into the Index timeline but so far I'm not getting anywhere.

I was telling my mum that my 3 favourite artists are Kanjani8, GRANRODEO and Sound Horizon. After forcing her to watch the PUZZLE con with me. Yes I er, watched it again. My mum thinks Yasu sings the best in K8. I kinda agree with her. Then we talked about why Subaru is the main vocal in K8. Which kind of made me show her the desire clip from the Musekinin Hero single. And kind of complained to her that desire is very hard to sing (which is actually because I keep on floating between Yasu and Subaru's parts). Anyway that's not the point. The point is that she says that between the 3 she will probably be more willing to listen to GR. My sister adds, GR is too rock (as I've probably mentioned, she likes BIG BANG/G DRAGON. I dunno whether she likes him or the whole BIG BANG but well). Lolx. Well this is so random.

Yar so the main gist (er from which part?) is that the PUZZLE con has totally rekindled my Eighter soul, and I am actually planning to start watching ROMES. Yup the one whose press conference was held without the main lead and the main sub-lead because they were down with influenza-A. Tacchon and Yasu ne... I was laughing a bit as I read the chara descriptions on the official site. My pace? Haha that is so Tacchon. Hot-blooded Yasu? I was a bit lol. Oh well we shall see how cmi are they =))) Either way I'm looking forward to 0-gou Shitsu no Kyaku more haha. Yoko as mysterious!storyteller ne. Maa since me will always be me, I doubt I can finish them. We shall see which eps I drop them!

Ok that whole 2 paragraph didn't mean a lot.

AFA 09 ticketing info.
AFA 09 Anison concert ticketing info.

FUKUYAMA YOSHIKI UNPLUGGED OMG!@#$OPOJAASDFGHJKL: SHOKOTAN♥ I shall hide somewhere at the public audience area and stare. Lolx. You know. WHICH STUPID PART OF SUNTEC CITY EXHIBITION HALLS is good enough to warranty that price?? Other than the fact that the front row is really so near to the stage that you can probably look up the skirts of whoever is standing on stage. Well it's already better than last year at least. It was 128 for only one person's live eh!!! And strictly speaking May'n's live was less than an hour last year. But. Gosh. $15 is actually 3 times the ticket price last year!! phoenixhime, are you confirmed going?

* * *

Randomly, I restarted watching Inazuma Eleven (from today's eps, which is eps 54 when the last eps I watch was probably eps 3 or something). Arghhhhh whyyyy. I blame Teburo!! I got a shock when Shirou spoke. Gosh. Mamo's voice and Shirou's face don't match at all lolx. I was like "ohh Mamo" and then he mentions Atsuya I was like "ohh so this is Shirou" and then someone calls him "Fubuki" then I was like "huh? Not Shirou orh". And credits tell me that Mamo's character is called "Fubuki Shirou". Oops. I find it fun to watch with only Teburo-knowledge of the series hahaha. I find it a bit lolx that I cannot differentiate between Shirou, Gazel and Gran (ok ignore my spelling).

* * *

I still like To Aru Kagaku no Railgun! No matter how plotless it is! I have a very strong urge to draw Kuroko and Mikoto. HentaiKuroko needs to pin Mikoto to the wall/the floor/somewhere more often ufufufu. I finally, finally can recognize Yukarin's voice omg I'm suddenly very proud of myself. Lolx. Oh and I'm rather interested to know what happened to Touma in the eps 2. Lolx. So poor thing.

A&G生放送見ましたよ（聞きました？）。OLDCODEXデビューおめでとうイエイ！自由過ぎタイムありがとう！ライブcresc.かっこよかったです。私のCDは12月にならないと手に入らないけど、ライブ頑張ってくださいね。密かに応援してます。ちなみにライブグッズはTシャツがいいです。

小林ゆうの（仮）いろんな意味ですごい過ぎる。かわいいね。かわいいけどやっぱり不思議だなこの子。

Maa maa. To celebrate finishing the CH3221 presentation I re-watched K8's Puzzle con today. I have the urge to rewatch it again now. Haha 2 times in a row? It's quite amazing that although I haven't been listening to K8 for quite some time now, I can still sing... some of the songs without looking at lyrics. Like Mugendai. Lolx. ファンの基本中の基本だねあの曲は。 I am still an Eighter right from the heart ne! I shall dig out the rest of the cons to rewatch some time soon.

らくらん46巻にようやく出れるあの人って…五年生だったんだ？
みんなはっきり書いてくれないけど、そうみたい…よね？
いいねいいね面白そう！
私も欲しい。
らくらん46巻がほしい。
でもキノらくらん入れてくれない！
やっぱり自分で予約しないと入荷してくれない！
ひどいよキノ！全国のらくらんファンに謝れ！！
てかオレ以外何人いるかな、らくらんファン。
ここで、っていう話ですけどね。

Following the previous post (from which part?) Rakuran 46 is out this tuesday apparently!!! Er one more item on my to buy list D: (Note: Rakuran = Rakudai Ninja Rantarou = manga ver of Nintama Rantarou ne.) I hate the world. Lolx.

[Edit] Er. Cos Fa wants to see.

雨后应当穹苍，鬓上却又霜雪。
紊乱心绪难掩，紧锁眉头不展。
旭日何时得见，新月今宵亦黯。

Title-less at the moment. Hmm. Is it obvious what I'm trying to talk about?

It kind of slipped my mind somewhere along the way but somehow I haven't seen TOV drama cd vol 2-4? Not that I've already listened to vol 1. But then. I found it strange mah lolx. That said, the manga vol 2 is out exactly one week later. I am wondering whether I should break my no-Kino hiatus just for it. There are so many things that I'm stopping myself from buying because of that 1DVD and 3CDs that I got yumegal to get for me (er mainly Olympos 2, Karneval 4 and Amatsuki 10). I am rather surprised that the cover isn't Estelle though! Isn't it normal to have the heroine on the 2nd volume cover... why is it Flynn... EHHH!!! 本当のヒロインはまさか！…なんてことはないよね。 Lolx.
