Sunday, 02 June 2024
Damn, I was thinking of migrating the blog so much I was dreaming about taking a math exam in university without any studying?? Where's my morning coffee at? *looks at desk* Oh there it is, thank goodness. *giggles*

Hey welcome back. As much as I want to talk about new fanfiction, and as much as I want to review the next package already and how much I want confirm that I got a signed Moeshi photobook *giggles* AND as much as I am desperate to come up with a more rounded solution into moving OUT of Blogger? It's not happening, dudes, not the last one, but I do aim to make it much simpler like the one at GitHub and recently on Render. Not like the others are going to happen anytime soon too, so we shall see how it goes. I'm still moving to a new site though, that's for sure.

So, let's forget those right now and get in just on time for new music and Anime...? Hey, Anime "SasaKoi", you there?Β 




をニパ One Room, Hiatari Futsuu, Tenshi Tsuki.
"It's so hot lately, I get sweaty just folding the laundry." DAMN TOWA-CHAN CAN I-
What, no, no sweaty s*x what are you talking about this isn't a porno. *dabs* In this new episode where the harem is complete lol thanks summer you did a great job (#TenshiTsuki09), let's talk about the new girl in town. Well, for starters, can I just say that shy Takao Kanon is the best thing Anime has ever given to us? *laughs* We just bumped on to her while being in the occult club room and yeah if you wonder why this is still a club in school which had a budget considering the skeleton is the club president lmao, we are introduced to the final member of the club. Yeah, as in this club will have to disband if they can't enough members by the end of the school year. *laughs* Cue Hisui-san as I would call her from here on I guess, for she is basically me as a female...? *laughs* I wouldn't say that but as for first impressions, she definitely bumped into Shintarou real bad, he's wondering if he did anything to her for her to be this shy and only communicate with the others. Like, if you see this guy hanging out with all the girls being so extroverted... you will want to stay away if not for your friend. *laughs* I'm not into dudes, sorry. *laughs* Speaking of the other though, they are ready to celebrate the end of the exam period - well Noel-chan is haha - and so as they go out to find a place to hang out, they chanced upon what is likely an early summer festival area? I'm not too sure but I'm sure there's overlap on festivals and their exam and summer holidays, so this is even better I suppose. Everything was well even Hisui-san is enjoying her time I guess just not with the dude unless you're into cucumbers HEY YO haha, until you realized what a flat out coincidence there is to ensure that Shintarou just forgot he ate some cucumbers and then went to save Lilishka who has wings from falling into a river infinitely deep. *laughs* Just Anime stuff don't worry about it. Ironically, Hisui-san went to save the dude which damn I thought we are getting some wet clothing action haha not a porno by the way, and I legit thought even until this far she was just afraid of guys- Wait. *laughs* So surprise, looks like Hisui here isn't a human also lmao I'm sorry Tsumugi-sama haha, and if you don't know what a (almost thought it's "Blue Archive" but it's) kappa really does in folklore... Don't find out. Please don't. Loch Ness would be less scary than one of these. *giggles* Not for Hisui though, for overall her being super nice to everyone would likely be her strong point to compensate for being shy and just... one with the water lmao, one can imagine that more of these girls appearing at this "occult" club here would make Noel-chan foam at the mouth on seeing fantasy appearing in front of her otaku eyes. *laughs* All in all... just which female in this harem isn't an actual human though? Oh hey, Tsumugi. *laughs* So yeah, well if you need an upside to all this, looks like we are not introducing more girls at this stage that isn't human lmao, so it'll be interesting to see the whole gang come together in some freak coincidence or when we get Shintarou out of the way and have some proper girls action *wink*, but still it's a wild ride and the jokes still land to be honest it's interesting to remind myself too that Lilishka, excuse, me, Kagami-san here can fly so we can send Shintarou down the abyss. *laughs* I may not know what's the conclusion to this series the little angel did drop by already and she didn't pose much of a threat lmao, but at least next episode will be great looking at the title hehe WE STUDYING ON SHINTAROU'S HUMAN BODY OR WHAT *laughs*
P.S. "I believe that studying for exams together is a friend thing to do!" Hell yeah Noel-chan haha shout out to when I did it the one time with... some chick in university lmao "Your place of mine? I don't mind either." Then my place please and thanks. *laughs* "I've never actually studied with friends before" NOOB haha *dabs*
P.P.S. "I will be the one who choose my name!" That is true Lilishka that's how I came up with my own Japanese name tbh
[Well since we unlocked (lol) all the girls in this series let's showcase them all!]

をニパ Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
"It's not (a field trip)??" Alright ladies what do you think we are here for
I mean, if Cuff isn't the best representation of how much I don't care about this plan to confront Sade... *laughs* I know, I just want to hug Alice-chan or something, dude. *laughs* In this new episode where I suppose we are at the final stretch (#ShinigamiBocchan32), so get your a**es ready because Zain LOVES that stuff!! *laughs* Okay, before I recover from what I just saw so far haha thank goodness that was an illusion... let's talk about how far we have gotten. No longer are we dealing with the stuff we did the previous time we time travelled to the past. No more weak Zain and time magic that screws up everyone's location even Sade can point them out in a second. No more going in alone and unprepared just to almost get ambushed by Sade I would argue. Even for starters, we know the confrontation is between Zain and Sade just the two of them, mainly because Sade just wants to be stronger and seriously, I doubt she gives a damn about people talking about her love with Victor and/or just making people take up curses for the sake of doing so of course with the exclusion of Sharon and her daughter Alice. Still, I think we have come quite a long way away in terms of the plan Nico-sensei listed out, so let's see how much we have ticked down the list. Firstly, we somehow managed to stop Sade from going berserk. That isn't bad, and I think credit was given to the presence of Boccchan and Alice who both have some indirect link to Sade's past and of course from the grandfather, knew much about what her intentions and feelings are even back then, and we are at the point of stopping her just because Sade thinks cursing people is more fun without consent. *cringe* But hey, whatever dude, at least we can prevent bloodshed this time around. But next up which is likely what is the cusp of this episode, is that Sade won't go along with us that easily, not without condition. Sounds about right, and it is ironic to bring her back to the present only for her to ruin ALL of our lives once again haha we can NOT ruin Rob and Viola-chan no way I want that love to happen- *laughs* Anyways though, also Sade just wants the gang to go back, so she employs her sister Daleth to chase them away. The past her, yes, as present Daleth was aware of will likely happen. That still rather evil her who will listen to her sister's beck and call. That witch who felt no love but obligation to take over the underworld as she was told to. No longer will she know of what has happened to her in the future where - shout out to Walter trying to help and I also thought he will too - Daleth of the past was convinced of who she is as an evil witch, and you know, watch like, the second half of second season to see if the two Daleths (lol Walter relax) (as in two-fold because two of them and more than one of them FYI) will come to the same conclusion. *sees them cry* Looks like we have a consensus. *giggles* All in all, this is getting me hyped for next episode no doubt, as we will see if it is even necessary to bring in Ichi and Nico into the fight. Well, I wouldn't say it's a fight no more, so let's not make things worse from here, eh, Sade? Though I have a feeling if she lost her only accomplice things might just turn for the worse. She is the lady underworld boss after all. But hey I don't know anything about this plot I'm just halfway through this rollercoaster ride at the peak of that loop haha I know right this is getting exciting I can't even MVP Flea-sensei btw I aspire to be him as a horse lmao
P.S. "Shut up! Or no snacks for you guys!" Holy sh*t Ichi-sensei you need to chill haha also what are these magic school senpai, 5-year-olds? *laughs* "Shut up, all of you!" I'm more into the aggression of Viola-chan ngl haha ah hey
P.P.S. "I've decided to make fun of you two (Daleth and Walter) for the rest of my life" Haha Zain I don't know who you got but we gottem good lmao "I'm more of an a** man than a boobs man" Yeah okay Zain what else is new- Wait, what? *laughs*

をニパ Bartender: Kami no Glass
"It doesn't even have a sign. A hidden bar!" Oh damn is Miwa-san talking about Eden Hall-
Yeah, watch us go back to the bar in the original Anime adaptation. *laughs* In this new episode where time travel is not a thing so yeah there can only be one God of Glass in case you wonder (#Bartender09), but let's just say that... what if... God doesn't exist? *laughs* Wait wait, how did I get this deep in feels? Well, maybe it's time to talk about Sasakura's past, shall we? Story goes that somehow we ended up at a bar we never wanted to walk into, and it feels like a case of Sasakura trying to tell into his senpai Kitahara-san's head that he is treating this bartender thing all wrongly. What's wrong, you might ask? But seriously though, who is out there serving heavily alcoholic drinks to customers brought in even if it's under another customer's request, and just, you know, not understanding customer's needs at any point of time? Yeah, Kitahara's who. As he said it himself, this isn't that regular hospital who treats patients with a drink to remember. He's just that guy who takes order requests, lives with them for the sake of the people who patronize, and then it all ends. *silence* Well that all sounds dark already, to be frank, that's what life is about in general, but as we find out where Sasakura and Kitahara's master was after all those years... things really became dark for no other reason. So, if you aren't ready, let's talk about life. *giggles* See, Kitahara talks about reality at hand. He taught Sasakura the ways of being a bartender, to understand the customer so to not offend them and give them the best experience. But also, as the glass reflects back on every single one of them bartenders, they aren't remembered. They are only reminded of the drinks they make, see recent cocktail competition, and then when the fire is all over, it's done. Sad to think that's how that works, and I'm sure there's more to this story than what we knew so far haha looks like Kitahara is already hinting on Sasakura's past before he became bartender in Japan instead of France after he won that award... All that is to say is, Sasakura was hinted that bartenders' lives are not worth remembering. As much as it is meaningful to save troubled people who drop by for a consignment, it's also easily forgotten. I mean, not like I'm suggesting a crowdfunding campaign to save the master of some popular bartender even if Sasakura gets forced into being in the Chairman's hotel bar at some point in the future, but the sad reality as reflected through that glass... It's shining. Glaring, even. And that seems to be the problem. It's no longer a pitch to try to convince Sasakura to think about being a bartender somewhere else. It's no longer just Kitahara-san explaining to his dear kouhai about such unjust going on a society where we are being nice and receive no reward. All in all, this might be a race to see who can convince Sasakura to think otherwise. As in, in case you didn't read what I see the moment I walked into your bar... Whether Sasakura would just stop being a bartender after all. Though if his ideal was broken in the first place as we will find out next episode, why would he still continue to struggle? We shall find out soon, I guess. Maybe Miwa-san consider convincing your grandpa to not be such a jerk after this flashback, yes? I am now actually convinced why the ending theme song is as such. *sob* Life, dude.
[Oh I have been searching for the recipes when I do these thumbnails but totally forgot the official Twitter/X account is doing it too!! Haha I'm dumb]
P.S. "You already drank it all?" Yeah Sasakura now you gotta carry a super drunk Miwa-san home *wink* All according to keikaku haha
P.P.S. "It'll be fine! (Miwa-san) You are good friends with Sasakura-san, isn't it? You gotta keep on the attack!" I KNEW IT THERE IS A ROMANCE PLOT IN HERE haha ah hey

をニパ Kuroshitsuji -Kishuku Gakkou Hen-
"Yes, I've never understood the human aesthetic of losing well." I know right Sebastian it's as if we only play dirty-
Man, bring back the idea of losing in gentlemanly form. All those things we have inherited from the pat is now just a mess in societal function, it's kinda gross to be honest. *silence* Okay back to more gross stuff haha I know right this series is LITERALLY fuelled by revenge (#KuroshitsujiSchool08), do you really want me to talk about how Ciel essentially cheated Bluewer's final throw in the cricket tournament? Nah, maybe not. *laughs* But we WILL talk about all the other stuff though, like celebrations and such, how the Blue House did not practice for rowing eights so they can present themselves as winners for the Queen. Yeah, and the midnight tea party, dude. All this closing ceremony thing is just flair now. The Queen be like where is my boy Derrick? What the f**k are you playing around here, Phantomhive? *laughs* Hey, dear Queen, I ensure you this will ALL makes sense once we got to the Headmaster- Ah. *laughs* Oh well, Sebastian didn't get him too so uh... What are we to do? I'm pretty sure you guys already know what was the plan and I don't mean the cricket finals, but yeah, Ciel eventually got invited to the midnight tea party that was all the buzz at the college. You know, you get a seat on the same table with the headmaster with the P4 and their drudges and have a splendid evening(?) talking about what a great tournament we have made I would argue historically even more exciting than the previous time the Sapphire Miracle happened haha ah hey- AH HEY DUDE are we forgetting something here?? *giggles* So, in case you forgot why we are here for, so far we have chased a headmaster who has his clothes left, we won the cricket tournament so we can essentially have a one-on-one talk with the monarch of the college... All that is left is to, well, tell him the situation at hand. I mean, not like anyone thinks that *some* of the students went missing was a good call, but also not even a call at all not like Violet talked about them even though they are under his House haha yeah gottem dude, but also other students who have gone missing?? In response though, and yes if you have waited this long I apologize, the Queen would be pleased to see that Derrick is pretty much well and alive, and he got the invitation to the tea party too? What did he do to deserve such an honour? BRUH. *laughs* All in all... I think I am recalling on what happened, even if vaguely. *silence* As usual, I will still not reveal anything just in case I'm wrong too lmao that's what happens when you turn 30, but yeah, Derrick being "alive" is somewhat tied to the actual events happening behind the scenes. Not going to explain too much but yeah, Derrick Arden is very much alive and well. At the expense of others, though. *wink* We will talk about more of them as this arc closes in the truth soon, so hang around for another cup of tea, won't ya? I'm SO HYPED to see recurring characters I can't even *giggles*
P.S. "I didn't (win the cricket tournament) alone" That *pft* from Sebastian was *chef's kiss* haha I can't even with these jokes
[Just the closing ceremony outtakes is already revealing so many details of what I have come to know and love of this series I can't even]

をニパ Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau
"I think our performances are pretty good. I'm sure we'll get a slot at the concert" And Shiho be like BUT YOU ARE NOT THE BEST lol
Hey Shiho, ever heard of adequacy, dude? There are plenty of slots at the auditions, they will get into the list, even if barely. *laughs* Alright me stop dunking on these innocent girls mainstream bands are better LMAO so at least in this new episode (#SasaKoi08) maybe we can be less cynical than Shiho here and just... she has a problem, we know that already. *silence* Anyhow, we got more growing up stories to tell as if they are mine lmao I suck too by the way, so let's talk about what is. OF COURSE they are not going to drop on us what's wrong just yet remember someone needs a slap in present day *dabs* We are not doing that yet though, so let's talk about what else happened in this episode. Well firstly, the (SS)GIRLS got into the school festival with the auditions! Heck yeah, Himari-chan almost gave Yori-senpai a good time lmao I'm glad it's just a good pat on the head hehe, but yeah, so did the Shiho gang I suppose haha, but that's not the problem. Problem was Shiho. Like, REALLY problematic, this kid. *laughs* As much as she doesn't want to admit anything else even by just dunking on her past and seeing her past flourish potentially better than she did, it's also as much concern to everyone else than to her that you know, we perhaps don't have to end up being this harsh. Yeah, no one was strong enough to confront the tiger. That cute little thing who could've been just a neighbourhood cat for all we know. *giggles* Hey, I don't write the character development in this series, but thanks for the shout out. *laughs* Even so, it's rather obvious that Shiho is just not being nice at all, and we come to the best part of the episode... haha hey me you need a vaccine against Mizugushi Miki LOL alright come back here, me. And I think with the flashback we just heard her talk about to Himari as she just so happened to drop by Shiho's part time gig which damn if she shuts her mouth up she will win in image lmao, we somehow knew more and less of what Shiho is as a person. Nothingness, is the topic so far, as we are introduced to her previous rival haha yes those exist, it's Kyou-chan. Not like Kyouka or today or whatever, just... you don't get Japanese it's fine. *giggles* Anyways, the two met just because someone threw a teddy bear up a tree lol no prizes for guessing who needs that childish thing lmao GOTTEM, but what got Shiho though, is that there are people without even trying are doing better than her effort could ever bring her. Hey, not like she thought that effort isn't the only thing that is in art and musical instruments, and not like she gave up on music either she is just BENT on showing the people around her what's up and I'm surprised why you haven't taught your parents a lesson yet lol I know right... She instead continued on her journey of being clite. I really hope you see the problem now.Β  I'm not going to explain much more so you get the idea. *silence* All in all... well, at least we know Shiho's backstory now. *laughs* I know right, I knew to give less sh*t than Shiho gave about her life. Yeah, and she bloody thinks she is better at it than me- I don't f**king care dude she needs to relax. *laughs* Whatever it is though, bear in mind that's how being childish works that's how it has always been no one told her that I guess, and the way to deal with kids, in case you wonder, is to teach them a lesson. Hey, what do you know, Aki-chan has prepared the materials for it! Haha see you then I guess oh about that. *silence* Eh, looks like we will have 2 weeks of recap due to production delays (OOF) (THIS IS A THING??) (lmao hey Anime "Kubo-san" what's up) and that'll be another 2 episodes which will likely wrap this mess up and... we don't know after that. Yeah, the math does not add up, the episodes. So uh... maybe this is just as bad of a mess as I thought it was after all? Haha say it ain't so, people. Can't be worse than Anime "Glasslip" which finished airing without a skip haha GOTTEM
[TL:DR; "But I knew I had to do something. I couldn't just live my life empty and without music." Well there's the problem right there hehe she doesn't know]

P.S. "(Yori) isn't what SS(GIRLS) needs." You sure though? Aki-chan needs her though MUAHAHA ah hey. "What is even the point of talking to a member of a two-bit hobby band that I dropped out of?" WOAH BURN lol who gave Shiho the flamethrower dude
P.P.S. "I lost a friend once. What did I do wrong?" Nothing, your friend is just a jerk. *laughs* Yeah saving evil is such a pain I can't even- You do it. *laughs* "No keeping of secrets. We're a couple." I'll pretend I didn't hear that. *laughs* HIMARI-CHAN IF YOU GIVE YOUR VOTE TO LAURELEY THOUGH WE ARE BREAKING UP lmao
[Man, if you don't mind me saying this again, but the animation is like, SO lifeless. I keep praising the voice-acting so much even getting Naobou to voice Kyou was great- It's like in some scenes they are just so emotive in voicing but the animation just... isn't. Shiho, is this what you meant about mediocre? Like, I'm serious though. *laughs* I'll still watch this till the end though, but just note it's not because of the animation. Or the music. *laughs* I know right, what am I here for again? *dabs*]

音ζ₯½Β This Week on Klassic Note
Hey, I know the month is over, but let's talk about what happened last month, well, last week of last month, I guess. Otoha's new single wins my heart right from the start, and though I don't think this is their usual style but so far them producing (and composing, by the way) these B-sides apart from the already banging title song for Anime, are not that bad at all I immediately got into it listening to this going to work in the morning and man it's good. *thumbs up* SID's new single is not much since they didn't come up with B-sides but it's a good time down nostalgia lane for the other songs they did for the Anime series this was tied up on, so I'll take that at least. miwa's new album is the new disappointment I would argue considering half the songs I know are also songs we know of, and the other half barely holds itself. I wasn't impressed by the title song but more on one of the other songs, and the emotional ones did not hit me. Yeah, hard to beat that song back in November last year which I really liked it so much it got on my Top 20 ranks. And if you want to ask me about SID vocalist Mao's new album then maybe don't. *laughs* I mean, I am still keen even if just barely, so I might just give the one not title song I was keen based on first listen. But yeah, feels kinda dated even if the melodies aren't carrying them imo.

On news this week then, we gotta talk about future stuff, or probably it's happening now by the time I list them out. Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new live video is of a song that started me off of this band, but damn are they not the same even singing this song today. miwa's new live music video(?) is from the new album released this week and I didn't fancy it though, so... uh maybe you'll like it? This is the title song of the album, I would assume. First leaked on her fanclub livestream on Wednesday because I simp on her now and watch my fanclub livestreams on time (sorry Minase Inorin but) (lol) Kitou Akari's new mini-album is confirmed to release end August which will then follow a live tour likely around her birthday in October so I guess this might be it for the year for her solo music career, if I'm not wrong. Horie Yui's new song preview for her upcoming album due in July where details of the album have been confirmed too so yeah, next up is the title song music video perhaps? Sangatsu no Phantasia is releasing a new album end August which is to me rather expected considering their new single released this week is for the one Anime tie-in and she has been releasing a lot of new songs just this year alone that are to me just brushed away as soon as they are introduced, so let's see if I can get into them by then again. And okay the rest of them are new songs set to release soon so I'll list them out as fast as I can because goddamn they are so many. SHE'S new song will release in two weeks, The Floor's new songΒ is also releasing in two weeks what a coincidence lol, FINLANDS' new song is releasing... in a month haha gotcha, and Tsuji Shion's new song which is her new song in a couple of years already is releasing in 2 weeks too. So as you can see, I might be really busy changing moods the following week. *giggles* And yes, Anime "SasaKoi" new song which I mentioned last week's episode is good, thanks for asking. I go for melody though, so no thanks. *dabs* Full albums based on the band releasing next month though, if you want to know more.Β Kroi's new album song(?) preview is indicator that they are starting on the preview period before their release is out end of this month. Can't be weirder than the preview itself lol I already know from their previous album so it's fine. And oh boy take a look at this: Minase Inori announced a new half album set to release end August- Yep, you didn't see that wrongly. Mini-albums are officially dead now. Yeah, what you going to do about Part.1, Middle Kids? *laughs* Oh, the not album? Eh... I've not been giving her songs the past year so uh... hopefully this turns it around! Being very optimistic here tbh.

There isn't much next week I guess I will deal with Aimer's quadruple A-side single (lol this is not a joke) before we move on to the slew of new songs releasing the following week and those prospective ones which will shadow drop release next week too. You know, in case I took a fancy into one of them again- Look, impressions are rough when it's your 17th year listening to Japanese music, okay? We gotta keep giving second chance.




Welcome to the four-part series where I talk about the future of this blog over here for the rest of the month- Nope, NOPE. *laughs* I'll put that on that obligatory post next month in case you are keen, but I think I will have a different philosophy of doing blog posts from here on. Well, not for this weekly post I suppose, I still like to write about Anime and music alike as much as it's routine chores to do this every week I'm pretty sure I was blessed to not have any appointments on Sundays so I can do something way more meaningless than being a bartender haha ah. *silence* So yeah, moving on haha, I am finally done dealing with the processing of that stack of bromide photos I showed you guys a couple of weeks ago... but just the Ibuki-chan stack (get it?) so at least that will be running as my phone wallpapers for the month. *giggles* Okay maybe not, Ayachi has to cover the final week, maybe slip in some Koko-chan and Mocho in there too. *laughs* Alright alright fun time is over I gotta wrap up before I sleep late and then get myself some coffee tomorrow lmao, and until next time... I wish I didn't have to pay to blog whatever I want. While still being happy? Haha NO WAY DUDE

P.S. TIME TO SELF HOST MY BLOG- Yeah right lol
