Let's see... I started playing with AI art myself which *pukes* is kind of gross actually but as I continue to learn the inherent weaknesses of generated AI artwork, I will soon notice that (1) it takes a lot of effort to make it good unless you pay a lot ie. subscriptions, (2) I suck at prompting or maybe it's just bad at adjusting to the algorithm which really isn't what creativity should be, and (3) I will probably get tired of it by the end of the month because I am too tired to play this after work every day.

And that's why just earlier I've been watching "Tokyo Encount" which has been attempted to upload forever online once again before it gets copyright strike, yes, the one TV series hosted by Sugita Tomokazu and Nakamura Yuuichi and oh goddamn they are old now though it has been a decade, but back then they were great. You don't get half of their retro game-related jokes, and I only watched for the female guests. *giggles* Need I say more?

I love Mikakoshi when she bends over the most MUAHAHAHA let's Anime and music hehe

I mean, they can't be more than stepsiblings... right? Uh... Moving on haha this new episode though (#GimaiSeikatsu04), we are talking about studying it seems. Well, Saki-chan is. Asamura is a born genius and a great teacher in this case too so he doesn't need help. *giggles* Maybe playing the onii-chan role but really though does it even matter, and I guess Saki-chan is just mustering the courage to ask him to help since you know, remember she doesn't have any friends at school? Haha we will get to that later lol Maaya-san is offended already. And as I mentioned before, we just let Asamura dangle the carrot on this donkey we call Saki-chan (lol this is not an analogy I'm sorry for using this as an example) and then letting the girl decide if dealing with her now stepbrother would... well, anything it seems, who knows what's going on her mind even if they are not blood-related. *shrugs* So yeah, studying, you're welcome, I guess. Of course, the focus was how Saki-chan can't get romance even though her mother is a whor- Oh come on we don't have to say this. *giggles* No, no that, and yes, I know. Maybe it's just her rejecting the world around her for her to not get literature and honestly saying I don't too but my case is closer to Asamura because I don't experience romance instead of not get it haha look at my Anime backlog for evidence, but yeah, we are hinted that Saki-chan can't understand love and even basic stuff like jealousy. Honest? Yeah, probably. Amateur? More likely, Prostitute? Most definitely not she can't even seduce her stepbrother. *giggles* Okay okay I was also promised the other characters so can we just put Saki-chan aside for now? *giggles* Maaya-san, for starters, we have finally seen her in person instead of just being pep talk and being in flashbacks lol. But yeah, talking to a normie is no joke, seriously a relief compared to talking to whatever imouto Asamura has at home because boy, is talking to this girl such an ease, I really wonder why I am still alone after all these years. *silence* Moving on haha, and because Asamura has to work, and as we found out soon enough, looks like the guy wants to help Saki-chan study better? Like, you know she got good grades, right? She doesn't need background music to study? She just can't get literature because she's an amateur- He doesn't get it. *laughs* Shiori, was it? Yeah, she did end up recommending him some music people use to study and specifically her I guess. That's called Lo-Fi, people. You should know of that "girl" on YouTube. Oh, this is just the soundtrack though, they gotta pay the guy. *laughs* And I just play whatever comes into my mind sometimes, and I'm told that gameplay streams are a great way to offset some brain juice for studying, Don't take my word for it though, I only listen to GTA radio nowadays lol "I AM OLD"!! *laughs* (If you get it you will, Flash FM by the way) All in all though, I still like the vibes of this series despite it being real tame and not much to talk about, which in my sense means there's a lot for us to think about. *taps brain* But really though, it's not much, Asamura is somehow winning in the tug-of-war here so I guess he has to let the stepsister take the lead once in a while hehe whatever that may mean, but looks like we have more slice-of-life elements into this series after all. Hey, who said this was a romance series, I feel like I have been duped. *giggles* But really though you can drag it out it's going to be super deja vu when Saki-chan can understand whatever was written in that literature book she couldn't comprehend MUAHAHAHA

P.S. "He's jealous?" Oh boy we have to start from explaining to Saki-chan that, huh. Well, good luck, Asamura. *laughs* "No, I have zero experience with love." Oh boy. *laughs*

P.P.S. "In fact, I feel bad for taking advantage of you." HAVE YOU THOUGH?? *laughs* Okay there was that one scene last week I guess haha ah hey "That's why I was wondering if there's any other way I can help (Saki) out." WOAH WOAH hold up right there bro that is quite far enough *laughs*

Ooo that video capture from smartphone framerate... Really resembles early day smartphones, huh, Anime? *laughs* Well putting that homework trip(?) aside for the girls this new episode because really who remembers that girl afterwards anyways (#GijiHarem04), I guess Rin-chan still showed the photos they took to the senpai so that's the whole point then. *giggles* If you would ask me what I can recall, damn there is a lot to talk about. I mean, there's the shiritori thing where they have to play using romance quotes instead of just any noun (and yes it's not the same as grab a**-) and boy was that a joy to listen especially if you can get the Japanese. *giggles* Yes, this is one of those things that subtitles can never translate as hard as they try, which of course, until they reach the confession part and Rin-chan is like HELL YEAH DUDE and the senpai still though they were still playing a game? BRUH. *laughs* And then the school infirmary scene is just *chef's kiss* though sadly there wasn't any kissing involved the most indirect we got was from that terrible drink Rin-chan had to pretend it tasted normal lmao *dabs*, still fulfilled many things on Rin-chan's list on touching the senpai up- Wait, did she though? We will never know. *giggles* And that eye test was just for her, we know. *giggles* But all this, and I mean all of the above yes including her napping on the sofa during drama club activities earlier, could not even compare to Rin-chan's new opportunity to drop by Eiji's place to... you know, hide from the rain and such. *silence* We are NOT going to make her top wet contrary to what other series might do to the poor girls in those shows haha ah hey, but she is afraid of thunder and I wish that was a real weakness in girls in real life *cringe* so yeah she gets all the dubs on the senpai by changing her clothes out even though it's not that wet?? Serious question though, is she wet from wearing one of his shirts at his place though? I can't refer to this as boyfriend shirt scenario, this doesn't count. *laughs* But the mom did see them in it so... "Wow". *laughs* (I would like to personally summon "waomi" from that AbemaTV series "Seiyuu to Yoasobi" with that sound clip please and thanks haha) (If you know, you know) All in all... give it to her, will ya? *laughs* Calling her by her first name, I meant that. *laughs* Once again, I can always emphasize every week on how weak the animation is (I mean, just look at that shit design lmao) (maybe that's drawn by the author and if so I am sorry) and how the plot isn't strong in the quest of Rin-chan to get her senpai at some point lol, but hey, it's a great laugh as always which still makes me really into it just so you know especially the twists and turns in this series, it's not a recommend, this is literally just for me to watch. *giggles* Or if you are into Hayami Saori, this will be worth your time, not gonna lie here. 

P.S. "All right, who's the creep who made you cry, Namakura?!" You. *laughs* "It's you, senpai." YUP *laughs*

P.P.S. "What do you want for dinner, Rin-chan?" WOAH WOAH you can't eat the man but you can eat his- "That'll give you indigestion." I beg to differ but *laughs*

[More full body Rin-chan you are welcome- Yes. *thumbs up*]

fhana was a no-brainer (unlike Kitri *oof*) so we'll talk about the new songs. GLIM SPANKY was alright so I did give that, Soko ni Naru was real hard to give and it's more on the melodies as I try to get used to them before I have to deal with their quirky and abrupt beats I can't describe myself. Sumipe's best album did get me somehow to my surprise, and as she mentioned in her recent Instagram live, that if you are into her late Showa-period pop songs and its style, then you will like most of the songs in it including her new title song, and I agree. *giggles*

(*From Twitter/X; Information accurate as of writing)

Not much news this week but Miyu-chan's new song is definitely some level of disappointment, so we shall not touch on that until next month. Hmm... none of the stuff here are worth talking LMAO I might have put myself into a corner. *silence* Alright alright Mocho is cute what of it? *giggles* Aqua Timez and Scenarioart are also great though, unlike UNLIMITS who shoved their live video inside of a digest which featured an absurd crowd as in crazy not overcrowded. *laughs*

Well, since Ajikan is just a drag at this point not releasing more new songs (lol), I will focus on giving ammo a chance thanks to Anime "Shoushimin Series". That doesn't mean they are good though, they have their flaws and I think we will see them for who they are next week. 

Oh yeah, in case you haven't noticed reading this far, I updated the blog's theme. It's not much, I haven't gone full on Material 3 as I mentioned earlier this month when we did a reset, but one step at a time, yes? Thanks to watching one less Anime and not taking a nap, it still took me the whole afternoon tbh. On other news to wrap up this week and you bet there are a lot maybe I should do it up like music news too lol, most excited for Alternative Girls 8th anniversary livestream event in a month which even its guests is going to blow my mind away in a week haha I don't think Futon-chan of all people will show up but what do I know, least excited for Anime "Hanako-kun" spin-off series airing in a couple of months and season two early next year but welp, and we might just get an Anime "Lycoris Recoil" mini-series where we only talk about the cafe. Please let it be like "Arsnotoria" Anime series where there is no fighting involved, I would love that. *giggles* Well, too many things to expect of others already, so might as well get back to my day job and think of what creative stuff I can do next apart lest I try to use that to make money. *silence* You won't get it I am not evil I run a blog I can't be evil

P.S. I like how I keep thinking how bad my Japanese language efficiency is every time I see "doyoubi" and I still have to count the days of the Monday-starting week using a character song I knew of in 2009 so "getsu ka sui moku kin do~" haha thanks Hocchan you are the best
