Have you been looking at #YouTubeMusicWeekend? No, you don't need a YouTube Music subscription like Google is pestering me to sign up for whenever I open the app on my phone, but yeah, Japanese artists have been releasing live footage on premier all weekend and I assume it's on archive so you can check those out. Notable artists I know of include [Alexandros] (which I skipped lol), GLIM SPANKY, wacci (thanks for the first song totally loved that one), and Ikimonogakari which is probably airing by the time I post this and they also have recent weeks of live footage revealed too so... I'm only thankful in these times that I get to see more appear without me actively searching for them haha lolAnime time, I guess. I chose the Sunday morning route now haha well I was watching my archive of Anime yesterday, and wrote a randomizer to run on my external hard drive haha. "ACCA" is still the best imo haha okay I want more "BLEACH" too but that's not in 2 years at least so I'm just hyped for the "Bungou Stray Dogs" next season whatever spinoff that is I just want more Elise-chan lol let's talk this season Anime instead. But seriously though "Demi-chan" is soooo good Ede-chan in that is my fuel I want an overactive vampire as my daughter lmao ok me
Oh yeah, side note: Attack on Titan airs on Sunday late night and I gotta sleep for work on Mondays so... I've done this before but instead I'll add it on to here after I watched it tomorrow. You'll see the hashtag above once it's up. That's all. Anime time!

γ’γγ‘ GREAT PRETENDER
Wow I would have guessed, but man, Shi Ohn is OP support in this series, I'll give you that. She's like that support character you don't use in your character building deck until you have to trash someone. Oz is not even close haha okay Makoto don't hit me. In this new episode where Laurent "is paying an old friend a visit" which I doubt will go well but surprisingly it did (#GREATPRETENDER21) we are at the last stretch of this arc and this season. Yes, season two in the near future, if you need a reminder. So, as expected, thanks to Dorothy (RIP), we do have a contingency plan, even for death. Excuse me "expected death". I mean, if you recall the first arc where they were shot in a hail of bullets for the drug deal you would have known. Firstly, about what happened so far, let's do another update. We go back a bit to (1) before Cynthia, Abbie and Oz got sent to the ocean bed and (2) where Laurent explains the plan for this very arc and heist. Yes, for the latter, since we now know the backstory, we know the two ladies do not know of Dorothy and whatever genius so-called is Oz, and how Shi Ohn can dive? Well, she is Korean and good chances she's one of those divers looking for shells when she was young (do Google those documentaries if you've never seen them), so yeah, not really surprised because at that age... please someone let her retire haha. So yes, the plan for such a bailout that would only be put to use because we have to save all the kids thanks to Makoto (so yeah it's his fault technically), and thankfully because we know how the mafia works now, the three get to be saved. Thank goodness, because we still have another heist to pull. So secondly, the plan so far, as Oz continues to explain to his son who may or may not follow according to plan because you know, we know that Makoto isn't great at sticking to plans just like Abbie mentioned. But nonetheless, that whatever Skype meeting between the two factions went real well. *laughs* Hey, with both translators rigged what do you expect? A change of USA President? *laughs* And that's why translation is so important Liu; I get it now. *laughs* Ah, the sweet smell of a scam, I can smell it even from where I'm watching this in another dimension lmao. Because Makoto is known of the plan, and Laurent is at Shanghai's side now (So how is he going to leave again? Can't be his father's about to die right? lol), so yeah, it's not translation anymore, ladies and gentlemen. So, instead of negotiations, it became a money tribute of reconciliation contributed from both sides...? So yeah, the "confidence men" here will pocket it, if that is not obvious enough. *laughs* They won't bring in fake money, and both sides did bring an intent to kill. So yes, Laurent's team is LITERALLY raking this up, money and lives and everything. *laughs* Can't wait till Suzaki's real son comes back and ruins this lmao. Or Liu's fortune teller telling him there's a traitor in his gang. Lastly, what might happen in the near future. They are going to meet up in Tokyo, supposedly Liu giving the money to Suzaki and vice versa? I don't know it doesn't make any sense now anyways haha. Well, I hope everyone got their bulletproof or stabproof vests ready because next week will be quite the ride haha don't ask if Makoto will forgive the father or not it's work vs family man it's always a man's dilemma if you have family haha"Did you understand any of (the English)?" "Only the part about the granny in Tokyo" Haha yes Liu you got the main gist of it lol
[TL:DR; Just a reminder that despite Makoto being emotional or the most emotional character in this series, he doesn't mind since he's a cheater himself he knows how it feels to be cheated besides he can't keep secrets lol]
Told you they were fine! Thank goodness haha |
P.P.S. I like how Liu is like "bro calm yourself down" and he's like "those damn Japanese" haha that's me with China immigrants from my country lol don't tell them this they can't read English
γ’γγ‘ Majou no Tabitabi
"You just have to deliver it and get paid" Hey, sounds like your local food deliveryman haha man tell this to someone 20 years ago and they thought you'll be referring to wedding buffets haha. In this new episode (#MajoTabi10) where freedom is an option lmao, tell me when Saya will open that box, yes? *laughs* Serious foreshadowing I can't even. Okay she didn't thank goodness haha. Anyways, story, I guess. It's another flashback, about two mages who can't get along with each other. Little do we know, their teacher wrote a book in the future in which Elaina would read as a kid. Yes, if the ending isn't obvious enough. Seriously though it's like Elaina's ancestor or something with the hair colour. So, story. Story goes that Sheila and Fran were on vacation to the Town of Freedom, where in this case, they reminisce the days of... working together. So, long time ago, when Fran was an apprentice, her teacher decided to take on another apprentice, but you know, as with anybody else, this one wasn't feeling welcome. Besides Sheila making a bad impression on her fellow apprentice mate, they also don't like to agree with each other, almost all the time. We'll get to the exceptions later, but suffice it to say the teacher always has to meet in the middle so that they won't start killing each other lol how is bread in between beef and fish. To be honest, I think the easiest way to settle between them every time is... scissors paper stone. No joke. Really, a simple and quick showdown without magic. *laughs* You can track your scores too, I don't care. *laughs* But over time somehow, the shishou has thought of a way to teach them to work together, and by also taking a job that is slightly irritating but not enough to risk their lives on, in the country of Qunorts. There's an association here supposedly larger than the Magic Association stationed there, and they ask for external help because... these guys are troublesome. Not only are they tarnishing the reputation of magicians coming to the islands by putting up posters, and despite being not magicians they are technically using magic tools to threaten citizens and magicians alike. Hey, that's how you be bad guys lol what. So yeah, as you can see, it's a problem, but not such a big one that the shishou has to step in. So, she told her two disciplines to do it. In an effort to deal with the situation, and of course, in a way to make sure they have to cooperate in order to settle this case. Because if not, as stated by the teacher that they will be expelled if they failed, they would only continue to sabotage each other in order to get the other expelled even though we know, this is the opposite Prisoner's Dilemma where no one can get the other expelled and they can only work together, or else this will stay at status quo. It's that simple. Thankfully, they both thought of sort of getting caught by the bad guys so they can technically infiltrate their headquarters and deal with them then, and yeah, it was a lot easier when they can deal with the group together... with knives. Yeah, their training has come full circle. Lastly, as they sat down tired after dealing with a lot of dudes all at once (*hears sucking noise in the distance*) (haha) they talked about how they got into magic. Shiren was living by stealing peoples' money (GET A JOB lol) but eventually got caught by the shishou, and Foula just wanna brag that she's the only magician in the country. *laughs* How is that similar lol one of them is a thief haha. Yes, I'm also referencing the names to the book Elaina read, so it's not wrong by any means they have to augment the names anyways, easier than putting the coincidence of names foreword. To conclude, I have no idea what that small box contains if it contains friendship I'm not investigating further haha cya guys next week
I saw this on the official Twitter but haha yeah we know who is cooler |
P.P.S. "I think (getting another apprentice) should be your decision" Yeah but you're a jealous b*tch so I gotta warn you first lmao is that Elaina's ancestor or something? lol
[Not putting more thumbnails because of the clear lack of chest Elaina haha]
γ’γγ‘ Tonikaku Kawaii
"If it can be fried, it can be bought!" Wow how did you just describe my mom's cooking skills in one sentence haha. Also, that's how you'll end up hating those "air fryers", trust me. *laughs* In this new episode where we continue to do embarrassing things instead of shitting on my family lol (#ToniKawa10) we talk about... the two of them apparently because Aya-chan probably already left overseas to study haha yeah also cut her hair. So, about the two of them. I guess we just continue the wholesomeness in the Yuzaki family despite being in someone else's roof which they promise they won't interfere (lol Kaname) but hey, you can send great tasting melons here Tsukasa doesn't have them haha *silence* Anyways, story. Firstly, about relocation. Remember last week something happened and they had to live in the bathhouse? Yeah, that was like an ad-hoc arrangement so instead they moved to another place with furniture old enough they bring you back two eras in Japan haha welcome to the Reiwa era people. Despite that, Tsukasa can still whip up a meal to embarrass the whole of Showa Era (lol) and still make her husband a happy man. Good on you, bro; I hate you so much I can't even. *laughs* Talking about melons... *laughs* Okay we made that joke a while ago so refer to that, but Kaname gave them some fruits after their dinner haha so embarrassing things this episode Part.1: feeding the wife, literally. You can just watch that yourself I'm not going to describe it that whistle when Tsukasa is hesitating is the best haha I hope it's in the soundtrack lmao. Then, news about the new house. Yeah, Nasa-kun's landlord called. Remember? The one who's shophouse got burnt down due to lightning or whatever haha. Yeah, he said the place already under construction for a new apartment, so yeah soon they can move in without having people drop in to see them every 5 minutes. Excuse me, 2 minutes. *laughs* Still, the landlord probably sent him the wrong details, which they ended up in a high-rise building instead lol how did they even get permission to go in lol I guess this building is also new #FamilyGoals haha. Nonetheless, I guess the author (lol) wants us to feel what it's like for them to have a great life, but hey Nasa-kun? If all else fails we can always have a barrel over campfire as a bath lmao I'm not even trying to shit on "Sangatsu no Lion" right now. But yeah, considering the dude's so tech savvy he's basically an engineer without a degree (and I have one haha *sob*), we won't even see that happen in the new place even if they don't have a bathtub he'll just transform the barrel into a tub. Talking about tech savvy, we talk about life in the bathhouse, in the perspective of Kaname-chan. She might be the ultimate tsukkomi role here, but hey, she be having a tough life because her sister is USELESS haha like seriously though. And Tsukasa feels bad living under someone else's roof so she"... It makes the room all Showa (era)" Okay author you don't have to tell us you're that old please mind the generation gap haha train joke
You know this is a comedy series where the voices have to change to 30 years older halfway through one sentence lmao |
P.P.S. "The best kinds of people are those who can eat tonkatsu whenever they want" I need some context on this lol maybe I'll do some research on this later
#RelationshipGoals haha (And I don't even have a bathtub at my home) |
γ’γγ‘ Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
Taketatsu Ayana, is that you? Hey the final "BLEACH" arc is not upon us yet, girl; Don't rush in to voice the Sternritters, jeez. *laughs* I hope you figured out who she voiced (or not), but even if not this new episode (#AttackOnTitan60) won't make it any easier for you to pick up the pieces where we left off. Hey, that's what the year on recap episodes were airing in Japan for anyways. Ah, "Armoured Titan" kind of rings a bell, I wonder what's with the successor thing. So, story or flashback I guess. Marley... I think if you can recall, are the dominant race now, holding hostage of the Eldians, the Titan race. Obviously, when you have this power, you're going to use it for advancing your territory, so as we can see this very episode, that's what they were doing. Talk about inhumane, but then again they aren't human at some point, so whatever. So, the Marleys were using the Eldians at war, but only for two main purposes. Firstly, as bait. As that Commander prepares to send them to destroy that one anti-Titan train filled with ammo to ruin their plan, Gabi steps up to show her potential and not finish 800 of her own people. Because secondly, they are also potential to inherit the Titan powers. Since the Marleys know as much as the Eldians do, they know how to transfer the powers to other of the same race, to keep the war superpower(s) going, similar to what happened to the Founding Titan. This is then overall demonstrated by the successful takeover of an enemy fort, but in the... most, most minikui way possible (nope this is not "MajoTabi" lol): parachute drop. You might wonder, what's bad with an airdrop. Yeah, it isn't bad until you see the sky above your fort filled with tied up Eldians. *sigh* Yeah, and with a scream of the... what's that summoning Titan thing? Yeah, they all transformed into titans. So yeah, more like bomb drops, but it's Titans. Purpose is likely to send them to destroy all the canons because those are also anti-Titan (that can pierce through the Armoured Titan's armour, mind you) but those little ones didn't do much, so it's up to the two special ones to take the place down. And after that's dealt with with the two covering each others' backs, that intelligent Titan which I also forgot its name Zach or something? Haha okay I hate to remember names so whatever. That one came down to take down the fleet of ships by the sea, which despite drowning into the seabed, did strike the fort good all at once with what I would assume, also anti-Titan cannons- Man, this war is something. The narrator was spot-on: It is living in a world now where titans weren't supreme anymore. You know, technology driven by war will lead to such advancement haha. Guess we're not going to see our favourite guys anytime soon for now, because we have a worldview situation to catch up on. And to end this, in case you wonder the timeline, this is present day. Because Reiner is the Armoured Titan. Yep, that was him almost killed by cannons. Phew, that was close, wasn't it? *laughs* Oh yeah, that wasn't Ayachi by the way, it was Sakura Ayane haha didn't know you two sound similar lol"There may not be a Warrior as talented as I am" Yes guys that's called a humble brag lol "Not to mention being so cute" O~KAY haha
[TL:DR; I'm just watching this series till the end for the cool Titans that's all not the puny ones which are smaller than my d*ck hahahahaha]
Honestly, the only things I missed so far: Human transformation. After that I don't care haha |
P.S. Considering how the final season of this wonderful Anime series should be concluded, I'm actually relieved that they chose Shinsei Kamatte-chan to do the opening (they did an ending theme before, and boy) because if you need a reason to describe weirdness, this band has a lot of it, trust me. And I've heard a lot in the past decade. I'll give the ending theme this season instead which is also kinda weird too haha yeah WOOO NO LINKED HORIZON!!! Lmao okay meΒ
P.P.S. Just so I can flex my Japanese music knowledge, ending theme is by Andou Yuuko, who also wrote for amongst many idols I know, Toyosaki Aki. She wrote "CHEEKY" which is also the song I regretted giving the most haha
On the onslaught of news we got on Twitter regarding music which might be too much for the new popup elements but let's see how much we can fit into a paragraph: Read the first paragraph of this post again if you need help finding out what happened in Japan on YouTube this weekend, congrats SHE'S on 10 years even though you're only about 3 years in Klassic Note but I see potential in me hitting 10 years too at some point, Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new song is for that female Inuyasha Anime which Mikakoshi voices the main girl but not like I'm watching it lol, ClariS released a live video from their recent online live and I dare you to release the one with the full face reveal haha, Minase Inori released two videosΒ (now I regret not putting underline for URLs because I linked both) based on some voting from the fanclub members not including me I assume (but I liked them both so it counts haha), Polkadot Stingray's new music video is... very them I suppose (*let's hope they have better songs in the album* Haha), VELTPUNCH released a new live video footage which is underrated as usual but man am I glad for the upload, the Anison Awards in Japan gave awards to Amamiya Sora and Yunomi for theme songs that impressed (okay now I have to give them Top 20? lol), and last but not least I'll not quote all the artists who retweeted so here's a summary of Spotify's 2020 Wrapped in Japan based on overseas listeners. If you can't understand it, notable results with respect to Klassic Note include (1) Aimer and Ikimonogakari are most listened artists in 7th and 8th spot respectively and (2) Anime theme song dominate the most listened songs mostly Naruto series apparently. Again, those people have no tastes, only listen to LiSA and don't pay for Apple Music Japan so *laughs*
So next week, and finally we're getting to it, I'll be tuning into yanaginagi's new album in quite a while to be honest, so we shall see how much I can give her this time around. The previous album... didn't do too well haha likely the same too as I heard the preview video so... we shall see.
In other things not concerning anything I've mentioned before... *sigh* I bought more bromides. *laughs* Hey, I did say we're done since the last time, but I saw so many Kido Ibuki-chan ones I can't say no- Nan-chan it's all your fault for being cute. *laughs* If that arrives next year then technically I'll not have lost my own promises- The problem is when her new photobook releases in a couple of weeks and then they start selling out their bromides again and then I will HAVE to get it again okay please stop. *laughs* But yeah, I should be done for the year in spending. Oh yeah, I still have to consolidate this month's orders- I really should stop. *laughs* Cya guys next week then
Well as mentioned last week we'll only be talking about one release every week in December until the song awards and I have to decide the fates of many songs, first week we have Minase Inori's new single for her 5th anniversary as solo music artist. I don't care about the special live from yesterday but that doesn't mean her new single is good. *laughs* So yeah, even the topic song is well dragged on so that's not going to leave a good impression considering the same composer did such a wonderful job on her previous single topic song which I reviewed this year so... what's with the difference in quality is the question. Oh well, might also be me anyways, so hear my rants on Twitter, I guess.ι³ζ₯½ This Week on Klassic Note

P.S. Watched some Nan-chan livestream gameplay earlier of the new Spiderman game on PS5 and... well I'm just watching her so I'm good haha maybe I should buy her new photobook... Haha I'm that baka aniki isn't it
