Haha, well so far so good, because well all the bad news are already set aside because my birthday dinner has been postponed a week and I've decided to live with the pain on my abdomen. *silence* Well, can't all be bad news, alright? I'm just counting all the fanclub birthday messages and so far it's three? Yeah Marinka, Naobou, Akarin in that order. We'll talk about how many more I've signed up in tomorrow's post though so stay tuned lmao okay Ayachi also hehe you think she took this photo before her pregnancy or- RIERI!!! Come on Outlook why you put her in the Junk folder lol
Also yeah did you see what Natsukawa Shiina did to her official Twitter account (not run by her normally) on Friday? Yeah, she (and her manager) posted so many photos of her I already died of cuteness seeing this at work *ahem* I did not slack off I swear lmao it was Friday dude. *laughs* So yeah because of that, this week's requirement will now be that now every time I say "Mahiru-chan" I have to put one extra image in the thumbnails later lol who am I joking so don't mind if I spam this supposed joke of this post down below because I have plenty to show from Nan-chan anyways hehe (yes they refer to selfies as social media "bait")
ใขใใก Kyokou Suiri
What, this cat drinks alcohol?? PUT HIM IN THE RAIN AGAIN lol oh we can't because it can't get wet. *laughs* Oh well, looks like in this new episode (#KyokouSuiri18) we are dealing with a ripped granny raising a... monster cat? Man, that sounds like trouble already. Looks like we have another mystery in our hands, and this time it's from a faraway fishing village. Featuring a spirit cat who doesn't even care about taking over humans even though that's their lore lol, and a granny who's older then all of my grandparents who already passed away (RIP), we are just at the beginning I guess, about a little story featuring the village's dead fish. Well, long story short, every day the villagers have only seen more dead fish float to the surface, which is seriously affecting tourism and everything around the area, making people who rely on the fishing life having to leave just because. We all know that since we are talking about youkai, that this is obviously more than what it seems, and that is what the mayor suspects as he... literally chases Tae-san our old granny, down the road. *laughs* Gotta say, he got the stamina, despite his build. Then again, we are chasing down like, an 80-year-old or something lol. Of course, since we are in the Kotoko-chan camp, we are unlikely to believe all the stuff about the previous villager's death Zenta after his grandson passed away... I won't bother about the story it was a sad affair all things concerned, but yeah, the old dude had to join him. Interestingly, he didn't pass away quietly, well, apart from the heart attack. It's probably more of what he left behind that might be a problem. According to Tae-san and police investigations, Zenta carved out a wooden doll similar to Pinocchio but I guess it's just the long nose that's relevant for now, which of all things, had some electric stone embedded on its right arm. Let's just imagine that this wood Zenta got from is likely from a sacred tree similar to the one from Anime "Kannagi" lol don't worry only 15 years of Anime watching experience, but somewhat had a stone in it. Hey, maybe it's some electricity god or something, I don't know Japanese folklore. Nonetheless, something bad probably will happen if you craft anything from it, let alone say, if you craft something that looks like your grandson. Not that important, but the grandson was human, had limbs and can walk into the ocean to zap fishes?? That sounds like a problem before we even knew of it. Also, I like how the cat is dealing with this rather casually as so with Tae-san, but she is right she already is just waiting for her retirement (from this world) (oops) but the cat won't let her so I guess she has to stay and help to solve this mystery. Also, she is likely the first person to think, even after the cat mentioned that the Goddess it was about to consult is human, that Kotoko-chan is a monster. *laughs* Joke's on you, old woman, the man assisting her is probably the real monster. *silence* I'm still surprised why the cat didn't freak out on the sight of this mermaid-kudan monstrosity. *laughs* But yeah, even if we have Kuro-san deal with the Pinnochio, this might not be an easy task. We need like, sniper rifles or something. *laughs* All in all, the reveal of the mystery is normally a rough start, but at least we know next up will be the action we have all wanted since the start of this season which we had like a short fight with the sumo-like doll. So yeah, I'll look forward to that. Might be another short story here, I would say, leading up to whatever Rikka-san is plotting next. *silence* Let's ignore her for now and anticipate more youkai action I guess!"And you could definitely use some exercise once in a while" Okay granny just leave me alone haha

| Things you should not be seeing IRL: amazarashi, is that you?? *laughs* |
P.S. "...he died of heart failure, as though he no longer has the will to live." Wow I foresee my death being like this now lol
P.P.S. "In present day, taking over a human's life would mean dealing with neighbours and paying taxes, which is disheartening. Cats are happiest when they get to laze around." Haha even the cat knows our lives are screwed up
ใขใใก Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai
Okay Tama-chan the dude is just at his seat which is right in front of you what are you mean where is he? *laughs* Also, Kubo-san gotta pretend she didn't see him? What madness is this?? *giggles* In this new episode where possessiveness of your boi is based and honestly is cringe lmao (#KuboSan06), we really should not think too much into the power of Kubo Nagisa in school. But outside though, literally where any Kubo-san can find him, that's where things start to change. We are introduced to Kubo-san's niece Saki-chan on the streets, where she helped pick up something Shiraishi has dropped so many times it's hard to believe he is preventing the dropping of his own belongings and not praying that people will return it to him. Well, going the lost and found route I guess, at least Japan has that policy around. But yeah, that's where Saki-chan's dialogue cuts off though, namely because she was accompanied by one other Kubo who also can see him but more precisely, saw him previously in a bookstore. Yes, "trying" to read a porno magazine, please. *giggles* So yeah, introduction's ruined, and yeah, I am Nagisa's boyfriend, what of it? *laughs* INB4 we then realized how much of an idol Nagisa is to the niece, then also let us in on the news that Saki-chan looked like Nagisa when she was younger ie. in middle school, and is growing her hair out to look like her too. Oh yeah, maybe Saki-chan can identify Seita-kun in the future. *laughs* This Kubo family DNA is really exquisite; I wonder which strand is the one that can identify a Shiraishi. *laughs* Gotta say though, Saki-chan? You can NOT be as cute as Nagisa. *laughs* But who am I lying to, we know Ten-chan is cuter than Kana-chan. *dabs* Next up, exams are coming soon and boy did the mom drop on the son real quick haha deja vu here too by the way just without the video games because my mom didn't love me enough *silence*, Shiraishi then had to study alone because even if he studied with people, the others won't even know if he has any issues since they won't remember he exists. *silence* I'm so sorry dude I'm just explaining the lore I didn't mean to insult you in any way. *laughs* But yeah, Kubo-san noticed him as usual, and is even kind enough to teach him how to do math. Now THAT is a better Kubo-sensei than in "BLEACH". *laughs* They thought of studying together, well the girl did hehe, but sadly, Shiraishi got the fever the next day and was unable to attend school. Not like anyone would notice that lmao the teacher did don't you worry the paper can't lie about his existence. Well, at least when they made sure to put his name in lmao the jokes, but we know Kubo-san is more than worried about him, even her friends know. I personally liked how much she struggles to want to go visit him, but for not disturbing him I guess we conveyed the same message as with the"Kubo-san is the only one who will notice me" Honestly saying, hey, isn't that good enough though? I'm !@#$% jealous haha
[Speaking of, Episode 7 onwards will be delayed until, and I'm not joking, until NEXT SEASON and will start again from the top, so this will likely continue in May. Uh oh. Well, at least we can copy paste this again haha no I wont, but yeah, can't be worse than Attack on Titan lol]

| What I envisioned Amamiya Sora to look and behave like as a kid haha |
P.S. "It's a little inconvenient when I drop or forget something" I like how it's in a "convenience" store and it's Shiraishi. Haha this Anime knows how to joke lol poor dude "Even if they picked it up, they lose sight of me right after" WTF lol
P.P.S. "Ah! The boy who was reading that porno magazine!" Wow best introduction ever dude haha

| Shout out to the sister who will rat you out every opportunity she gets lol |
ใขใใก Bungou Stray Dogs
So yeah, Ranpo found out someone has an Ability of reality manipulation. Real screwed up of a power though, how you gonna fix that? In this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs44) where it's likely impossible to assemble the Detective Agency together unless you mean in prison lol, well we'll take the cemetery as the alternative, thanks. *laughs* Okay serious talk though, but what else is there to say? Someone is already cheating. Even the military knew of how to deal with these guys in advance. Say who's the one afraid of Ability users? It's history repeating itself again, I suppose. Anyways, it's all the good stuff happening besides everyone who got framed of a massacre of government officers so NOT talking about Nikolai, the five on stage have to find a way to escape. I mean, you think the confirmation of that one dude Tonan saying that they are the perpetrators will help? Haha I think the military already has their own bias. As much as they try to stop them from escaping, thanks to Yosano-sensei they literally gripped on the edge of their own lives through death and did walk out of the place... unscathed? I mean, they did kinda kill themselves lol okay Hunters time. So, the new characters of the series. So now we know that, the military themselves have their own squad(s) of Ability users obviously more used for battle, but looks like they might be too overpowered to be used in the first place. But it is Ability users we are apprehending and/or killing, so yeah, fight force with force. Also, how did they just put the cutest character in this series but is also a masochist to the leader? *laughs* You tell me. *laughs* Anyways, the Agency members had to plan their escape from the premises they are technically still in town but just outskirts and they know the military will have more reinforcements even though that likely will be dealt with by Kyouka-chan and Atsushi we will talk about them later, but the rest had to escape. Kunikida will not choose trains since many lives will be at stake also it's hard to run away from a train, so car. But damn, did that dude cut through the car clean in half from a mile away. Suck it up, Ichimaru Gin, he has a longer one than you. *dabs* And it can bend too?? Bro, not even close. *laughs* Sorry for the "BLEACH" joke but damn, this is already as impressive even with just one of the four Hunters showing off their Ability. Well I guess the other one did use his field sense to find out where the escapees are, so yeah, no extra points to the Hunters for figuring out Kunikida's purpose in life. Also my anxiety works in the same way without being an Ability user so what else is new. Three decades, dude. There has never been relief. *laughs* Anyhow, it's still impressive seeing the guys at work and yes the two Hunters chasing them down have noticed one of them is missing, which yeah I guess Kyouka did go back to save Atsushi because good chances they think he's stuck somewhere which is why he isn't joining them at this point, thank goodness. While they hold up the military uphill, I guess the Agency has to deal with these two themselves, quite literally doing a dance of protecting each other from a ridiculously flexible sword... or do they? So alright, no much of a surprise there to be honest, Port Mafia has come in to help the criminals. *giggles* Of course, the Hunters will not be able to deal with these guys if they come in numbers, but the guy who manipulated reality can still do something, so we shall see how long this can last. Well, at least to assist their escape? The Detective Agency will live through next episode. *laughs* I know right, can't believe I've been baited to watch politics happen now. Also where is Natsume-san? I thought this is another country-interested-in-Yokohama thing. Haha oh well, it's getting more interesting and action-packed each episode, so I can't even complain, I'm just more hyped every week now haha maybe I should watch on Thursdays lmao oh yeah Prime Video"What Ranpo-san said about the Detective Agency's demise... it's this, isn't it?"
[Well since this is the Hunters debut episode let's put them up!]
 |
| Hell yeah we got another one in the old men gang haha |
P.S. "Man, this aircraft's great for shoulder pain" Wow bro can intro me to that? Turning 30 liao might need some help on shoulder pain relief haha
P.P.S. "Naomi may be treated as a criminal!" Yeah true that's actually important Tanizaki haha we forgot the best character in the series lol

| Don't know where this idea came from but it's cool every time... |
ใขใใก Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken
Oh okay so now the buddy wants to stay at his place. And see all the lovey-dovey stuff these two have been doing. Understandable, have a nice day. Haha probably what Shiina says in this new episode (#OtonariNoTenshiSama07) where boy, I wish I had a father-in-law to quarrel with. Can't have that if no girlfriend though. *dabs* This week, yep finally lore drop. Before that though, gotta drop other people's lore, namely Itsuki. *laughs* So yeah, bro thought it'll be a great idea to leave house haha and stay by his buddy's yeah this dude also didn't have many good friends here or probably Amane's is the safest lmao, and what else can he say besides welcome to his love nest he is currently cultivating without other people here to break it? *laughs* Not that it really affects the two of them, but definitely for the guy Amane it's working. Even if the buddy doesn't really have to constantly remind him in his sleep, we know this love is going somewhere. Hopefully. I mean, the point that Chitose also wants in on this sleep-in lmao girl this is your boyfriend running away from the dad, I guess she probably also dropped in the "maybe you like Amane" lore on this poor girl. Then maybe she knows. Maybe. But you know what else she knows? That she cannot tell others about her pathetic life. Hey, I'm not the one exaggerating, she is. Because NOW we can lore drop. Specifically Shiina lore. We talk about parental love. What is that anyways, really? *giggles* You want me to elaborate how much a mistake a man and a woman can decide alone and think that they can raise a kid until they are independent enough without ruining their lives through their selfish or even bad influence? Dammit this just sounds like "HigeHiro" again- I really need to stop picking up such series. *laughs* Yeah, Shiina did summarize this quite well because seriously we DO NOT need to know more about arranged marriage and how heartless these parents can be without attending even just the graduation ceremonies of their only child, but hey, what do I know about parenthood I'm not even married to anyone. *silence* Oh well, what else can we really do but hope that these irresponsible adults will be out of our lives when she graduates high school where they can actually file for divorce so that Amane doesn't have to deal with what Itsuki has to deal with now. *dabs* There's good and bad, I guess. Either way, Shiina just wants someone to cry on, and it's just SO conveniently we have the one ikemen to lend her his shoulder other than his ears. Yeah, in case you wonder how to cure shoulder pain from "Stray Dogs" above it's not riding on aircraft... I'm VERY sorry for contextual jokes be sure to watch all the stuff I watch to be relevant. *dabs* Anyways coming back, it's ok to cry on such a reality, Mahiru-chan, everyone has to deal with their own issues. In your defence? You have people around who will care about you even if it's not your family *pukes* so yeah Amane the boyfriend lmao and his friends and actually people who like you in school that you didn't want to interact much with- Shiina-san why didn't you take in all the popularity? Have you ever thought of that? But yeah I guess it might cause trouble for the parents so maybe not. *cringe* All in all... *sigh* As they walk down the sakura blossoms in view of the new year of school, it's hard to tell if they are really just toying with each other on the friendship thing. The guy's already twitching, can't you see? *laughs* On the other hand, the love is growing. I know, the official Twitter account told us. *giggles* So we shall see how this goes. Shiina-san after graduation is just going to be super sad OR super in bliss regardless of their parent's marital status, that's for sure. Screw adults, people. We need to high school love right now!! Haha a nice reminder to my sad self by the way can I get a shoulder to cry on? *sob*"I hate to barge in to your love nest-" Hey, glad that you realized that you are ruining a great relationship right now haha

| You see our Mahiru has her eyes on Amane... |
P.S. "Everyone in school probably thinks you're just some weird, antisocial nerd" Okay bro don't have to call my childhood self out lol I'm already 30
P.P.S. "Ikkun only, that's not fair! I want to eat Mahirun's cooking too!" <= Hey yup, that's not "Mahiru" we are good- DAMMIT lol
[NOT ENOUGH SHIINA-SAN SO HERE'S MORE SHIINA-SAN okay I think that's enough lmao go see the rest on Twitter also more Mahiru-chan I mentioned 3 times apart from the intro so]

| Cherry blossoms + cute girl = Perfection |
Okay, we have more stuff to write on the intro and outro so let's talk about how disappointing this week in music has been for me. *laughs* I've gone through I guess by Sunday already FOUR albums so far, and boy is the reception of any of these old and new releases (yes there are new ones, fresh off the press) very weak but then again when you think about just melody they tend to disappoint. Even so, giving the styles is still not helping much, so I went with that and picked a couple of songs. Literally, just two. I'll talk about them in order though. Homecoming's 1st album I thought will be a great introduction to the upcoming album within the year but then I felt like I didn't feel like giving any of them and so I didn't. What I did give though, is the similar judgement for new release Itou Miku's new album which I guess I did listen to her single from last year and it was "kind of" good lol so I listened to more idol fanfare and probably gave one because of it. Ueda Reina's 1st album which I've withhold for two weeks so to listen to it on a week not slathered with releases did not help its cause, since much of the songs back then aren't as unique or interesting as the ones I've listened in the past couple of years. Also, this album is literally released half a year before the first time I heard of her. Yeah, that one for Anime "MajoTabi". So don't ask me why it rose up that fast. Last but not least, I knew I shouldn't have bothered with a flood of circle's new album which released also this week because I listened to one of their songs earlier this year actually start of the year specifically, and knew their melodies won't hit me despite the Rock music style. You see, they like to "rap" on their songs which isn't my thing so tell me again when you come up with something similar to your album in 2019.ย้ณๆฅฝ This Week on Klassic Note
Oh yeah this week is Love Day week on Twitter so expect something to happen in the Internet I guess and please ignore what was on the intro this is music only. Saying that though, Natsukawa Shiina's 1st live in audio is in music streaming services if you just want to listen to her sing in that perfect imouto level voice hehe it's just me huh. On sadder news,ย Kuso Iinkai's regular guitarist is leaving the band and the group will continue with two members and let's hope it won't end up with one. Also new songs please, I've almost forgotten about you guys. Happier news though, BIGNOUN's only album is now on music streaming because this legendary 2014 release got me real good in association of PHONO TONES, this is just as cool and different in feels it got me the first time I've heard of it. Give the topic song "FRICTION" a try to have a feel for it. SPYAIR's guitarist UZ has something to announce in a week which is likely his solo music release so maybe I'll change gears seeing that I won't exactly be keen on the vocalist changed band. Minase Inori's new single releasing in Aprilย has been confirmed along with cover art of that and the live tour Blu-Ray release so of course I only care about the music. Asakura Momo's album song has been given an Anison Award and if you misunderstand nowadays Anison is just ignoring everything in Klassic Note about solo mainstream artists so yay for her I guess it was a good song. And I guess I like a Iwami Manaka Anime character cover song released on my birthday. It's not mind-blowing but ask me again next week if I'll give this song. *giggles*
So for next week, I guess we are in another ditch once again with new releases, so let's hope amazarashi's new single for Anime "NiER" will hold up. I'm not bothered to watch the 15-minute music video but I'll give a 5-minute song if it's good. I mean, can't be as long as a three-parter when I listened to Suzuki Aina's debut album lol yeah "Eternal Place" the first and last are just 10-minute instrumentals
Ah~ah, was Inorin's fanclub event great. *giggles* I know not to expect much because you bet this is just another way to get your money lol also it's better to be on location anyways, guests Hidaka Rina and Kakuma Ai played games with her which most exciting I guess is just them skating around a course or making cute faces so not your university orientation ice-breaking with cross gender physical contact lmao local joke, Inorin sang and danced, and it was an interesting 2 hours starting at 1pm Japan time. Yeah.ย
And to not lie about whether I did watch it, here's what she sang in the live portion of the event:
- Aimaimoko (Fans found out she wasn't singing at her best state; No wonder, she was talking all this time)
- Kimiiro Prologue (From "Wonder Caravan" single; Fans dropped the title for me haha I'm not true fan)
- Snow White (From same single, yeah but I didn't care about that single much, "Wonder Caravan" is just too good compared to these B-sides, also when I took the screenshot)
 |
| I did not prepare for the wallpaper it has been around for weeks hehe (Shown is 2.37pm Singapore time, so 1.37pm Japan) |
- Arpeggio (From 2nd album)
- Korekara mo (Also from 2nd album)
- My Graffiti (From 3rd album, did not give this though but I thought it was familiar)
Oh don't worry I didn't add any of these songs I've not heard of to my song library lol I only liked the first one btw *laughs* And yes, I'm not that keen to watch the night event haha it's pretty much the same content in general (eg. play games with different themes) and Inorin is not close enough to the camera. *giggles* Cya guys soon enough, for tomorrow I'm on leave so I'll do up a special post to talk about what I am doing with my solo life from here on. *silence* Until then, stay happy. I barely did for these two months already haha
P.S. Okay I got just in time after dinner for Koko-chan's radio show 200th episode special. It's live video instead of audio, they have a gacha machine where when a chime randomly rings, she rolls once and dons whatever accessory it's written. Well turns out it's all ears so we have seen her as a cat, dog, tiger (lol), rabbit and demon (hehe) as she does impersonations and reads fan mails. *laughs* I'm SO glad I've not missed this and as my first listen haha you bet I was just listening for the chime. *giggles* We will talk about me listening (passively) to radio shows on tomorrow's post and why it matters.
P.P.S. Okay my plan to hijack Pyxis' last-minute announced livestream just now worked: They were starting the stream before playing a game ("Momotetsu" a.k.a. Japanese monopoly) so they were reading YouTube chat, and I sent a Super Chat writing simply "It's my birthday, thanks for the stream" which could've been better phrased as in streaming on my birthday, and they read my name. REAL. NAME. So if you want to know you can watch the archive by the time you are reading this. My hands are still shivering by the way turned on the fan for the first time this year lmao BEST BIRTHDAY EVER haha I'm done
