The Entertainment News '23 Issue #18

Sunday, 30 April 2023
I mean, I feel happy right now from basically many factors happening this week that have proven my point because (1) DOAXVV gacha SSR *dabs* I got one using event tickets which have the worst odds lower than gems and the free 10-roll I'm getting every day, (2) this YouTube video reminded me of indirectly pursuing happiness and specifically to alleviate stress is to take work leave and (3) in Sakura Ayane's Instagram live yesterday someone reminded me that even if you don't live in Japan you can get NINE DAYS BREAK from yesterday to next Sunday during the Golden Week break, where we will meet here again.

*dabs*

Now that my happy times are just starting lol, let's keep it going by watching Anime and listening to music! The latter I may want to take a break I don't know haha




をニパ Skip to Loafer
"It feels so nice when you can head to school early" Yeah, don't have to stress out about being late lol my anxiety please no
Okay, noted, Kanechika being the bad guy this episode. *laughs* Hey bro you can't blame on innocent girl and that's why they need to be protected in this new episode (#SkiLo04), boy is some guy is going to accidentally join the drama club for no reason. *giggles* Don't worry, not happening anytime soon, and as Mitsumi almost killed herself over just doing a quiz in school and spacing out while getting hit with a volleyball lol, it's pretty obvious even to the blind that someone is distracted about something, and she talks to Shima about what she heard of Kanechika-senpai's plans to rail him in. Of course, he still rejected on all grounds, now stating that when he was child acting and appeared on television, he was doing it all for his mother, and thus did not gain any further interest in pursuing the career. Same bro, literally same story, but mine was more of a standstill because it set me to the biggest challenge in acting of my kid life: love. *silence* Moving on haha, Kanechika got shot down real good, with Mitsumi refusing to tell him the reason, just like a good friend. I mean, Shima may not have any goals in life now but it's definitely not acting with you dressed up as a woman in that skit we saw before. *cringe* Though IΒ gotta say? Mitsumi-chan has more life goals than we have. *silence* Spiritual fulfilment, you know. I guess this is part of it but *laughs* Anyways, second half is probably what took the spotlight this time around, where apparently lazy teacher told Mitsumi that a certain student council senpai is more capable than her (the teacher) (lol) in terms of discipline and so Mitsumi chose to follow Takamine-senpai for a day in her tightly scheduled life. Hey, Takamine-senpai? I can see your ego shining from another galaxy now. *laughs* Turns out, if you can believe it, Mitsumi ended up dragging her feet all the way into the sunset, from suggesting the idea of looking at someone's farm even though we are just going to their place to give handouts for the day, to missing the bus and letting the cat pass the time with them... yes I know these are very countryside things to do and or experience otherwise considering everyone has a house visit rule longer than the time Takamine would've set, and 15 minute intervals are uber fast in city bus schedules... once in a while it's just great to take a break out of that pace and you know, hand in an empty quiz answering sheet once in a while haha Mitsumi you think this will drop her grades? Even the sensei isn't worried in a bit she doesn't even care. *laughs* All in all... Takamine-senpai is cool, isn't she? *giggles* Hey, not going to be too biased on this, but hey between Shima taking his life as a joke now and people like Mitsumi and Takamine having goals and setting themselves straight all the time even at their teens... don't worry I am not even close to these guys. *laughs* Then again, as you can see, they are teaching each other stuff here and there, and that's what makes this slice-of-life drama good, isn't it? Yes, and so it is. *giggles* Also, definitely first time heard of so much Tsuda Minami that does NOT sound like her. Yes, you heard that right, Takamine is voiced by her. Seriously, this series blows my mind every episode, and I can't wait for more stories to cry to or be happy about.
[TL:DR; "What does having no regrets even mean?" Yes. *laughs* I mean, look at me. *dabs*]
P.S. "But since (Shima) didn't mention it (in class), maybe he doesn't want anyone to know" For once Mitsumi-chan is smart haha who says she has no EQ lol "But I can't tell you; A good friend wouldn't do that" OOOH GOT'EM haha nice Mitsumi you are a great friend
P.P.S. "You look like you made the most out of the Golden Week holidays" That's me in a week haha probably after a slew of blog posts and if that upcoming package will arrive on time hehe

をニパ Tonikaku Kawaii Season 2
"This is something I found while trying to find the sexiest images I could on Twitter..." Haha yeah same *laughs*
Okay ominous intro summary drop, what is going to happen from here on? Haha I doubt anything just yet, but in this new episode (#ToniKawaS204) it's all about kissing apparently. *laughs* Ah hey, I didn't come up with this storytelling, go ask the author and the scriptwriter for the Anime. Anyhow, let's talk about what happened. For starters, the couple are complimenting each other again. Nasa-kun was so capable of anything he helped fix the vacuum cleaner for Kaname, and even went out of his way to create high school study material for Aya-chan who of course, in her record of failing tests and procrastination skills, will likely not pass the exams yet again but that's not our concern lmao, is still able to do all this while working on this coding stuff which honestly is impressive- My ideal life will be Yuzaki Nasa, honestly. *giggles* On the other hand, we have the caring wife who is scared of doing anything in public lol not assassin or swordswoman lore drop, is kind enough to give a massage to the husband for working long hours in front of the computer which is known to cause a number of problems which is basically where I ache all over right now. *laughs* Nasa-kun is as usual thinking of all the pervy stuff, but not as pervy as Kaname-chan who seriously needs a partner so she can stop searching online for stuff about how to kiss and where to kiss. Or maybe we buy her a sex doll, I don't know. *laughs* Anyhow, she kindly listed all of them and gave it to the guy in hopes of him doing something about the wife? *laughs* Can this series not be less straightforward lol thanks Hayate for the example kissing literally everyone knew about the author of this series having to write the "Hayate no Gotoku" series in their past when we are all kids. Now that we are married lmao, I guess upping the game isn't too hard, the kissing haha, but I guess doing all this in public is still kinda embarrassing but not for the Yanagi-sensei couple so we will ignore that lol that kiss is so long they have time to hide in a bush, so they decide to just do it at home. Or when Kaname-chan also printed a copy of the list for Tsukasa lmao f**king why Kaname go get yourself a man or something. *laughs* Anyways, they kissed, many times, on the chest too but with clothes on and that's why this is not a porno haha Nasa-kun you don't think too far in, and that's probably what this is all about. Marriage. *laughs* All in all, entertaining episode as always, next time stop with the introduction summary if it's not about Tsukasa's lore drop haha seriously though, and boy Aya-chan is beyond hope just like me. *silence* It's simple how this series has been so far even with new characters, and I know this is still before the drop, and likely next week too looks like we are going to the hot springs even though we kind of live in one lol... but hey, not that I'm complaining, but the budget for this second season seems low. *laughs* If it can still deliver then I'll still see it till the end just like how I dealt with "Kyokou Suiri" last season that also wasn't as ground-breaking as any would have hoped. Mediocre, I guess. It's still funny and stuff as long as these two stay in the hot springs, so that's good enough married life story for me. *giggles*
P.S. "The fact that we only have to memorize them is thanks to the work of our predecessors. Wouldn't you feel bad if you get it wrong?" Wow I wish someone told me that in school lol Nasa-kun can you teach me also? *laughs*
P.P.S. "Her slender fingers are rubbing my body so forcefully. This is a lot more exciting than I expected!" Haha fetish discovered lol but seriously though how much for Akarin to massage my back? *giggles*

をニパ Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia
"It felt oddly comfortable in (the observatory)" Isaki-chan be like SAME haha
Oh hey yeah now we have the Astronomy Club, things are heating up! Not at night though, we can't with just the two of them lol. In this new episode though (#KimiSomu03), we introduce another loner- Hey me, don't call people loner like I'm not one. *laughs* Anyways, because this "club" thing still needs to run like one in this school who touted themselves to have one of these clubs some time ago until it's revived by these two, the sensei and advisor Kurashiki told them that in order to fulfil the requirements for presentation in the upcoming September meeting club president Nakami will have to attend, they will have to come up with some event and/or some achievement to show that they have been using the observatory and not use it to camp indoors- What the- *laughs* Anyways, Kurashiki only knows of the "last" member of this club Shiromaru (who is voiced by an embarrassed Tomatsu Haruka I'M IN lol it has been 15 years dude, relax) who of course is an alumni working now in the countryside, so the two have to track long enough to find... it's a her apparently, working at basically an arcade. Hey, who doesn't desire this life, innit? She invited them in to her small abode which is basically a container haha what's the difference between this and living in an apartment nowadays, she whipped up dinner for them and told them a story about her sad high school life. Basically, it would have been more cool if these 3 were in the club at the same time, but sadly she is left alone after all the senpai graduated, leaving her really having all the rights to be in the observatory without having to do anything, unlike these two. *giggles* Then again, the times have changed I don't know for how long Shiromaru here doesn't look that young lol, but these kids really do not know anything about even taking photos of the stars (and the girl Isaki-chan hehe don't tell), so the senpai gave them a crash course and sent them on their way. Including her. *laughs* If you recall earlier in the episode also, she did come into school to find the observatory likely only to think that the Astronomy Club has been disbanded and the location being used as a warehouse... until now. So yeah, why not, everyone has memories of this location, and no one is actually willing to let it go not with this cute girl around lol I'm talking about Isaki-chan *dabs* so might as well make the best out of all of this, yes? Yeah basically thanks to Nakami's efforts Isaki will be able to get more comfort items in the observatory to aid their sleep together- Ahem, just pitch your tent in already, Nakami. *laughs* Nakami's plan for now, is to aim for an upcoming meteor shower coming into the Ishikawa Prefecture where they are at (yes, it's real), use the summer camp to find a good spot and also learn to take photos of the stars by then since there is a popular spot to do so maybe better than the one photo Shiromaru sent to them at night haha, and hopefully take good photos enough to submit to the nationwide photo-shooting contest later in the year. All in all, wow that is a lot of things to expect just within the school year alone. We solved our sleeping problem with Isaki-chan, we chanced upon the observatory (lol), and now we are actually doing photo-taking stuff in school at night. *laughs* Hey, can't be peeping in the day when you are indoors in the observatory and taking photos of sleepy main girl, amirite?? *giggles* Yeah Shiromaru, I would like you to not tell anyone about this? Haha she won't just take pictures of her and she will leave lol I'm liking this dynamic already to be honest.
P.S. "...which means during the day you'll be looking at people in the schoolyard instead of stars" Haha is that Astronomy in a nutshell? "The universe is expanding" lmao
P.P.S. "You look like you don't have any friends" lol THE BURN haha then again she is also so what else is new

音ζ₯½ This Week on Klassic Note
There isn't much to end the week so let's talk about them quickly. Yes, I have officially ignored UNISON SQUARE GARDEN's new album we will not talk about it from here on I assure you. *laughs* Then again, it's probably because Fuchigami Mai's new single was that good as I gave BOTH SONGS in the single but thank goodness not have to pay for anything further out of my own pocket as I do not review Limited Edition only releases. *silence* I don't know why this idolism did not make a Regular Edition but who knows they don't want my money I suppose. The songs are actually great though, accented by Mai-chan's lyric-writing it only got better if you understand the words. Yes, dating simulator music video, thanks for the reminder. *giggles*

Now that I realized this segment is purely dedicated to music news on Twitter that I can relate to because I can only care about new releases and/or new online music content since I don't live in Japan and cannot enjoy the live they had over the weekend or something. *silence* I like how we are closer to RYTHEM's best album coming in a few weeks and all we have is just a cover art lol it's fine I'll listen to it when it comes anyways. Also did not realize LUCKLIFE is releasing a best albumΒ in July for their 15th anniversary so I have no idea what the tracklist is but it might have songs from their indie days that I do not know of so I'll listen to it when it comes. Natsukawa Shiina's new song is uh... not going to get me hyped but who knows what will happen when the single releases in a couple of weeks so don't take my words for it just yet. Homecomings' new music video for Anime "KimiSomu" takes a lot of references from the animation itself picturing a couple walking alone in the night streets, so not much and as I said I let the Anime bring the impression of this song to me anyways. SPECIAL OTHERS' new track is probably their best so far leading up to the new album in October but not enough for me to give a thumbs up. Hey, maybe they do have something prepped up at the back that is good, who knows. yanaginagi's new collaboration song is not as impressive as her new song for Anime and it's the Anime which got her major debut running but both aren't my thing to be frank. Didn't realize "With ensemble" is a thing until miwa sang her emotional song with an orchestra on that YouTube channel which is rather impressive to be honest not many have the budget to hire such instrumental backing.Β SHE'S new song is a meh but we are barely starting and as a reminder their new album is releasing end of next month, so I'll catch up. I don't feel like SCANDAL's new music video teaser will get me anywhere but regardless I'll give it chance again since two months ago. This is rather interesting as Tomatsu Haruka is releasing a new song after being dormant for so long and no prizes for guessing it's for a Sword Art Online slot game (get it?) so that's impressive in itself again, is releasing in a couple of weeks too. If you missed Kitou Akari's 2nd live tour broadcast on YouTube don't worry to pour salt to your wounds I saw a bit of it and bailed yesterday. *laughs* I've watched it before, so don't mind me. RYTHEM's new ASMR video is of a song I know too well, and if you have not seen them on the streets of Shibuya lol not that I have but I've watched them live on YouTube, SpecialThanks' new live video on the streets is a familiar song from a few years ago which easily can rock the paths out there even now. And to end this I feel like I want to talk about this, Sambomaster is 2nd on the entrance exams music artist rankings which is impressive considering artists like Mrs. GREEN APPLE (expected) and Arashi (*ugh*) are up there too. It's likely the one song if you do not know, by the way.Β 

For next week though, after probably giving a listen to Ikimonogakari's new song which damn I'm already so over with them lol, it has been 2 years since the last time I did this too so I may take this time to visit Hololive solo artist music again. Yes, not the group ones because I legit do not care. I'm already starting with Murasaki Shion's song from last year so let's see if I can find more gems. Honestly saying, why can't Shion-chan her sing in her normal voice which is actually cuter than her personality voice now by the way. Yeah, basically reverse of what 96neko did with that one song which blew my mind haha




Wow am I just rushing the above so much I barely have time to think of anything else mainly also because I spent too much time just this weekend or the weekdays also fixing my GitHub Pages site without much reward besides self-gratification? Yeah, that'll be enough. *giggles* See you guys next week then, we are going to start May real strong with a bunch of posts for #KN15YEARS which... I've not done much of and that's why I'll have to cram them tomorrow so I can start this off right haha so see you then for more random talk about my life of music, and until then... I think DMM Point Club gave me a reason to go clock walking steps now. 6000 steps for a chance to get 10 yen? I'M IN lol will report progress if any next week lmao don't expect too much though I probably will not go anywhere *dabs*
