Wow, didn't realize how much it sucks hurts to not write anything for a week lol I guess I did write code though got things done at work *ugh*, but more importantly haha, it is the lack of writing fanfics (haha) that I AM SO PENT UP RIGHT HERE I want to write it now even though I told myself to only start next month. The drafts are coming in well though, a lot of *chef's kiss* moments to look forward to. *giggles*

Happy new year everyone! Sorry for being a week late on this, the calendar is trying to make Monday suck less but we knew what happened to Japan just three days into the year so *shrugs* Well, let's talk about happier stuff! For this week, I technically did not have anything on the agenda, but I might as well take the time to talk about two Anime(?) I watched for the week over this weekend or basically just now with the Anime "BURN THE WITCH" prequel lmao, so that I can offset the music news which happened for the past 2 weeks- It's going to be long, by the way, I hope you are ready... to skip all of them LMAO

Let's keep the positive vibes and simple moods going in the new year, shall we? I mean, not you but I will try to not be sad until the arrival of the upcoming package *wink*

Yeah I kind of watched this a couple of days ago out of curiosity so why not, I'll talk about it. I'll be a Pokémon nerd for once, for this short series exclusive on Netflix *wink* (#PokemonConcierge) is just probably the easiest entry into the Pokémon universe in case you aren't even familiar with it yet along with my social circle of nerds around this pet fighting hobby which emerged two decades ago. Not going to bore you further about the lore behind this, I just am interested to watch the animation here, but I didn't expect to see more than what I expected. The story is otherwise short and sweet, enough to fill me with tears, and is I'll be glad to take the spot of Haru if you tell me to work there now. I'll be so sick of working, and would love to live a life working serving not pets whose facility management doesn't mind about breaking the budget. *laughs* I mean, look at that Pidgeot flying into the tent and you tell me. Anyways, definitely a recommend to kids just in general, and for fans it's just joy in every corner especially if you know them mons. I, uh... barely know about most of them thank goodness they used many Gen 1 mons like MVP Psyduck lol, and you don't want to listen to Magikarp's kissing voice. *silence* That's all I want to say to be honest haha I'll leave the lore to you because you have to watch it yourself to feel it, it's the resort experience after all.

P.S. "Even though they (Magikarp) can't swim, they are still having fun" What people expect I look like if I were to hang out with them lol not true btw

P.P.S. "Is there anything specific you think I should be doing?" Haru-chan I think so my crotch is a little itchy... *laughs* Ah hey

What was this about? Oh, the prequel. Well, considering I didn't remember much about the mini-series Anime "BLEACH" Kubo-sensei made in recent years that eerily looked like that other magic series we all know and love, this special episode (#BURNTHEWITCH08) is about slice-of-life. *laughs* Who am I joking about, but we have to lead up first, it's only the one episode. *giggles* So in summary we get to experience the life of Reverse London once again, living as one of the students in the academy I am not going to spell out the name, but I will talk about Noel-chan whose appeal point is CLEARLY not her panties (lol), and whoever her sidekick is, Ninny? *laughs* Yeah, her. I don't really recall what is the story previously, but I'm pretty sure we know the pet is some dragon in disguise that is not new, but looks like the new take is that Balgo's childhood friend Selby is one too. Well, let's talk about what is the essence of the episode instead of picking grapes off a huge dragon. This episode is about how Balgo came to be in the girls' care, and yeah, about Disguisers. Looks like simply said, it's just Dark Dragon disguised in some corpse, because maybe you do recall that Dragons in this world aren't allowed to be in contact with humans because they literally will turn evil it's how Dementors are born haha ah, but heck, the thing is that Balgo has been in contact with both of them this whole time! Yeah, problem, isn't it? And who is to say he has been hallucinating about seeing some girl's... panties per se being an evil thing lol, but he isn't wrong about seeing Noel-chan go into a phone booth and disappear? I mean, she didn't disappear she just had to beat him up so he won't see much about it. *laughs* Still, such is a day in the work life of the girls, because they rarely get to do these extermination missions, are still climbing their way up the ladder in order to one day, maybe marry a handsome man- Oh no wait haha, like, exterminate the big guys. I mean, this Dark Dragon is pretty big already, the one inside Osushi that is also parroting perverted sentences in a loop lol, so yeah, what's wrong about it? I mean, just this episode itself is a great showcase of the wonders of the worldview behind it, how some idiot got his wish fulfilled just like I wish I had with girls IRL lmao, and now that his childhood friend is dead and he doesn't look like he has a family to go back to and not like he can since he is effectively arrested for being with Dragons for this long... You see, this setup for a romance Anime couldn't be sweeter. *giggles* Then again, I mean, if Kubo-sensei wants to make these once in a while, I'll be in to watch them. Hey it's their rendition of a magical world, I'll take it above all the damn Anime this season alone, I'd rather take faith in this to impress me more as we see more of it. How much more? We will see how far this goes. The theme song is out though, in case you are keen.

[TL:DR; I'm pretty sure some Anime producer lost a bet against Kubo-sensei and had to make this episode haha yeah they thought they were done 2 years ago with the mini-series]

P.S. "When I'm in uniform, I don't need to prove who I am to anyone" Wow Noel-chan I think the same too "We witches exist to be a bridge between humans and dragons" Oh so basically citizen privileges for private companies? I get that analogy haha ah

P.P.S. "Would you stop acting Japanese? You've never even been to Japan" London, by the way. *laughs* Oh also me, by the way. *laughs*

I think I started this year specifically on Day 1, a journey to listen to a couple of albums I missed. Yes, DENIMS and your latest song, that isn't an album so I'm not referring to you guys. Also not giving the song anyways I wish to listen to different songs when I am showering. Also, I don't' have a bath so this isn't relevant. *dabs* Moving on jokes' over, Bearwear's new album turned out better than I thought, somehow I'm glad I didn't try to haphazard give it two weeks ago when it's out and give it more time, because damn, do I still love Alternative music after all these years. It's just my kick, dude. Also my kick this season is Chilli Beans. album from 2022 because I've been wanting to get back to their classics until they handed me a brand new album last month, so I'm back understanding how the one song I got hooked to and immediately got bored of it the next day, LITERALLY replicated with another similar melody in this very album. That's how the former song didn't get as popular as this one. Well now I know. *giggles* I also started on listening to w.o.d. live album from 2022 but for this I will go more in-depth in giving the various albums after I dealt with Sakaguchi Ami's debut album back in 2020 where she is very indie and not very polished, still managed to get me with a couple of songs as the indie music connoisseur I am so I'm not that worried in giving less. *laughs* I need to be stricter though, been too generous last year already ngl

Okay, are you ready, kids? This is going to be a long one, you have been warned there have been many announcements since the new year dropped by and more Japanese voice actresses announced their marriage. *silence* Anyways not that *sob* we are talking about music, so let's *sob* move on. (lol) Good thing about waiting this long for news is that I can shortern some of the stuff mentioned here. This includes Uesaka Sumire's new music video and Kitou Akari's new music video for their new singles and ironically both music videos are... beyond my comprehension so let's just say song-wise the latter is better. *giggles* This still isn't enough time to reveal Amamiya Sora's new music video premiere though since it's happening next week instead, so I guess I will wait patiently for that. *wink* Kroi teasing us with live video footage to sell us the Limited Edition of their new single is kind of unfair, but then again I look forward to their new song in a couple of weeks so maybe that first, guys. Then again their whatever surround sound audio live footage was awesome so I'll take that. Gotch is producing a song in a flood of circle's new EP releasing in March this year and this isn't the first time I have to listen to these guys again because of a certain someone so heck, their album like, two years ago didn't hit maybe with Masafumi Gotoh we can get this old rock band going again. *laughs* GLIM SPANKY is featured in a new song from THE BAWDIES and boy did I not see that wrong but that also means I'll be giving the retro rock band a listen once again since I gave their most popular hit a couple of years ago. I know right, guess whose style is older in this case. TWELVE artists have gathered for Ikimonogakari's tribute album which is releasing in February, likely is only featuring songs written by not Hotaka-san who left lol, still probably won't make me care more than SID's tribute album so uh... Sony Music Japan we going on a tribute spree recently, eh? (lol) Speaking of the latter, SID's new song will release next week so I might just give it a listen, it has been a while since they sung too. Oh oh, SIX LOUNGE's live performance with an ensemble was good though, that you gotta check it out, they sang their most popular song. Ryokuoushoku Shakai's live performance for a national music countdown programme sure is overkill though in case you didn't notice, but I did notice their new song is for a commercial so I will take note when that will be out in due time. Last but not least and I rather you read the minor ones yourself this is more important than those, I did watch Homecomings' new live video even though it was last year but damn, seeing the band member talking about how much they love the song they created themselves is so emotional I can't even. It's a good one though, No.1 in Klassic Note 2023 Top 20 by the way. Okay maybe I talk about the Aniplex music event happening today where like, the Anime "Lycoris Recoil" main characters sing the ClariS theme song, for example. Just that only though, not much else worth mentioning. (I think I saw a lot of ClariS, also Anime "Kaguya-sama" theme song featuring the main couple voice actors)

So next week, I shall continue on the dry run of new songs haha ok maybe Gotch's new song (just the one), and then we will go back to giving more Sakaguchi Ami and w.o.d. but mainly more of the latter if you don't mind. *giggles*

I don't know though, ask me if I love Ten-chan again. Yes. *laughs* Man, are all the wallpapers just this week alone to start the year so much fuel for my love for her I can't even?? *giggles* Oh well, might as well suck it up and write cheesy fanfics where fictional me tries to get laid with her- See, even in fiction I don't write myself two-timing women- SUCK IT, YOU NERDS! *laughs* (Yes, I'm referring to the two Anime I watched last season) Anyways, see you guys next week then, we will continue our actual rollout of new shows next week, likely I will have new songs to listen to by then or else I'll still check up on my backlog, and I will try to talk more about the songs I listen in not called Twitter more often this year! That last one is a promise until I fanboy over my own fictional works. *giggles* Aw damn, I think I need a cool pose action as an emoji or something, dabbing just isn't enough haha *dabs*

P.S. Since I can't wait for the next package to show this off:
