Well, I hope you noticed the top app bar as you scroll down. *giggles*

Yep, that's what happens when you actually have the Saturday to yourself, me, so you have more time to integrate Google's Material 3 design concepts into this very blog, it's looking real good. It's still subject to change, and there's still a lot on my agenda including a proper search component, so we shall see about that in due time. Meanwhile, you would be glad that we still have music releases to talk about because RIP next month for new music, and hopefully the closing down of online Anime sites won't kill the only source of watching shows I have. Fingers crossed, people.

Well, Anime and music while we still can! I hear we got good stuff happening this week- Oh yes, Ten-chan's birthday. *giggles* That over Saki-chan always haha why am I imagining banging her though

Well, if you want to understand your boi more then you gotta go to the beach with him!! *dabs* HELL YEAH and in case you wondered how it shot up to the top Anime this week... *giggles* In this new episode where understanding means involvement (#GimaiSeikatsu09), hey to be frank? It takes a lot ot change Saki-chan's mind, as far as we have seen, and Saki-chan keeps recalling them, so let's also. *giggles* But really though, if not for who Asamura Yuuta is and how he is so nice to his younger stepsister, we might never even get this series going. Ever. Think about it. Still, of course Asamura isn't that cool as we think he is, and he's ironically not into romance *wink* we found out somehow subtlety when they went to the beach and bro got to attracted to his stepsister I can't even. *laughs* But yeah, even so, this has changed Saki-chan a lot, and I guess before we talk about what her decision was after this summer holidays, from the flashbacks, do you think, Saki-chan thinks she's punished with jealousy, by not being nice with her stepbrother? *taps brain* Haha I know right, that sounds so cliche but one can't help but think. Maybe it's just on her own as always, she keeps thinking she needs help from this unrequited love for Asamura even though, and I will always argue that even if you are blood-related siblings, that sibling love is totally fine. I guess it becomes a stereotypical thing when it's stepfamily stuff, but still. Hey, I would just be like them anyways, Saki-chan in particular. I think the biggest thing I get from this week's flashback (lol it's a regular thing now) is that what she felt back then isn't like, a great time, nor is it like, romance or whatever. Because once again, childhood memories are vague, and we all want to go back to then but then immediately regret it anyways. But most importantly, this is to represent what it means to be alive. What Saki-chan has been rejecting so far. And that is why I kind of don't like the idea of childhood memories as narrative to be frank, but then again the story has brought us this far as if the opening animation isn't a hint yet lol, so might as well go along with it. Speaking of going along, let's go to the beach!! Haha what's with this long intro anyways. Okay honest opinion? I hate how part of this whole beach thing is a flashback. *silence* Like, you think you know an Anime production. *laughs* But still, we did get what we want, the most stacked girl is somewhat not Maaya-san nor Saki-chan (lol if that is not obvious enough) so I hope you have been looking at the reels haha, and I would just be like Asamura and push everyone to play while sitting back and do nothing. Okay maybe not the former I don't push anyone to do what they don't not even for group activities- I am so glad I am not a group facilitator in any way. *giggles* Saki-chan once again talked about how her onii-chan is so great (haha) and I assume the mom is also happy for both of them lol not romantically of course, but the daughter has those. So I guess we have to keep them bottled up (worst case scenario, by the way) and may it NEVER see the light of day. EVER. *giggles* Like, do you believe in miracles? It's Anime so yes. *laughs* Also, if you remember that Asamura knows Saki-chan well, we won't need the diary to know her feelings. *taps brain* Okay maybe not romance bro just got a boner recently. *laughs* All in all... how much of life can we say no to? Well, in their case where their family has essentially changed, I would say most of it. But as how Saki-chan has seen it now? Maybe all of it would've been better. *wink* Joke review though, did you even see the slow-mo Maaya-san boob shake when she passed the beach ball?? *laughs* But seriously, hear me out. If Saki-chan chose to not talk about romance in episode 9 here, what are the damn chances (haha) we will get a conclusion in the final episode? No, right? I'm leaving. I gotta say though, Saki-chan's image change will work. On me. *laughs* Not a fan of short hair, let alone very short but she's not that so I'm fine, but not really. But what is image anyways? Saki-chan walked in to our lives looking like a gyaru too. *laughs* Asamura might read her out as if her diary was found and read thoroughly, but we won't know for sure this series has taken me for a ride so far for me to write this much, so we shall see how this unfolds. I like how it's taking me places even though it's too real, so we shall see. Again, nothing wrong with sibling romance, dude. Just... don't bang and/or get married or something. Yeah, just live your lives normally even cohabit, and then raise pets. The perfect plan. *giggles* 

P.S. "He compromises to get along with me and my difficult personality." I mean Saki-chan you aren't difficult you're just hard to get *dabs* "He understands what I'm like." Wow what does that feel like lol "If Asamura-kun did like me and chose to share how he felt about me, would I be able to reject those feelings?" Oh heck, why would you? *wink* We can sibling love here, why not. I wish Natsukawa Shiina would do the same to be if I were her stepbrother-

P.P.S. "All you have done over summer holidays is work and study? That's so responsible!" Yeah damn I know right and taking care of the stepsister? He's already impressing the class lol "All I've done is sleep the whole time" Yo SAME brother haha when I didn't lead the coding life this is all I did as a student

Aw damn I thought we will get an upgrade to the opening animation, you know, because they all grown up. *giggles* Oh well, in this new episode where the romance antics go full force (#GijiHarem09), I'm pretty sure this is the j-j-j-jealousy episode, if it isn't obvious to you enough. *laughs* So, where the jealousy lies within the forest. Firstly, in the maze that is college. *laughs* I mean, is it though? People can just waltz into the campus grounds like tourists do taking photos of the buildings for some reason, and stealing seats in the canteen and study space- You get the idea haha. So yeah, but we're not talking about facilities, we're talking about Eiji. The newest, just-to-be cool senpai Rin-chan thinks is probably in a real harem instead of just her, her and her. *laughs* (I'll let you decide which one is Cool-chan, Tsundere-chan and Spoiled-chan) So, let's intrude into the lecture hall Eiji's life and see that he is hanging out with the members of the drama club... who thinks that he's super uncool. *laughs* Well, not that he has chance to degrade himself alone to be frank, he already got bad company (lmao) that made him who he is today just like how my college life went when I saw my high school buddies haha thanks jerks (lol), but suffice it to say that Eiji isn't getting more popular just because he wore a cooler outfit his girlfriend (by the way) chose for him and changed his environment. Rin-chan though...!!! *laughs* On the contrary, somehow this is more worrying to Eiji himself which haha no surprises, why did they even let her do acting in the college drama club as if she was ready to join them already hehe she probably will be considering she is such a genius at this, would end up making Eiji ponder on the romance scenes he wasn't in to be his reality check, and oh boy do these two need some pact or something. *giggles* I mean, trust first, for the starters. No, not thrust, we don't have to do that far. *laughs* Yeah, they have to feel for each other to believe they won't be cheated on or otherwise this will all just fall apart in about 3 episodes (lmao) so let's hope that's not the case. *wink* Meanwhile, Kiri-chan here is our new kouhai in the high school drama club, as this resolves the mystery we saw last time at the graduation performance the guys did with the sleeping prince lol, somehow could not outperform Rin-chan (that is to be expected hehe but) she can just do anything anyways, but more importantly, she is in love. Aw... F**king normies haha ANYWAYS (lol), I don't think this is all it, but hey, the girl said so, so let's just assume Kiri-chan won't take the aggression and love her senpai here just so she can feel what it's like to scissors- All in all though haha, I like how the episodes are getting better, just like aged wine. And that's a good thing. I would argue the pace of the series initially wasn't that fast, but this one feels a little better even though it sometimes feels like jank a bit and I mean the pace, but hey, the romance is heating up as Eiji gets to spend time alone with Rin-chan at her place *wink* so this will be interesting to see. I mean, we don't need bikini no more the whole house is ours and it be summer so we can take them off- See you then. *laughs*

P.S. "It's because Senpai is cool!" Eh, is he though? *laughs* "I like Onii-chan too" OH SHIT AYAKA-CHAN NOT YOU TOO *laughs*

P.P.S. "You worried about something?" Yes Eiji she's worried you going out in college and banging chicks- "Once I signal to you, means you need to hide." Yeah Rin-chan hide under Eiji's seat and resist the urge to pull his pants down-

The festival was in 18th August? Bro, it's already over! *giggles* Hey, Anime can't plan on all of this also aren't some of them cancelled in real life? You don't want that. *cringe* In this new episode where summer is all the fun but without our main girl (#Shoushimin08), uh... actually cringe what is this intro even. *silence* Okay, spoiler alert, we are saving the girl. Of course, we aren't going to wait for the ransom, or the police, or both which is technically worse considering whoever abducted her can't even keep her phone away quick enough (hehe), so let's talk about what the guys can do so far. For starters, yes blah blah ordinary people can't be involved in sh*t but if I have known a girl this long who dragged me into having sweets all summer and she got kidnapped? I wouldn't be as calm as Kobato, that's for sure. *giggles* So yeah, definitely way more tame than your usual kidnap incident dealings lol yeah even the mom was rather assured that it was handled by the police to be frank. But now that I think back about it, if the girls who kidnapped Yuki-chan wanted like, an apology which I will not elaborate about why because if you watched the couple of episodes before with Kengo you would get an idea also they will talk about it next episode *wink* so yeah, why are they asking for a ransom? Oh, the drug business, I see. *silence* Moving on haha, of course Kobato isn't going to let this so, and we do have Kengo has the brawls haha shout out to the actual MVP this episode who just dropped into a stretcher lol thank goodness we didn't have to see that, so yeah, we do have enough manpower to infiltrate the premises, considering we know where it is. I guess Yuki-chan did have some time to send a message without being found out, so that's a good thing for our resident famous detective right here. *wink* Yeah, so with whatever we know and can do, it didn't take long (and seriously no surprises) for the guys to sneak into the premises to find out what happened. And yes, dramatic entrance included in this package, ladies and gentlemen. *giggles* I assume Yuki-chan already saw the guys at the door, and everything else is history... or was it? *hmm* All in all... I kind of miss scary Yuki-chan. *laughs* I know right, who is this Isabe Isawa-san downplaying our main and bad girl role here. *giggles* Okay she is still scary considering what's up next, but still, why are there so many bad guys in this series, I thought we are just doing simple mysteries. Just don't tell me there's a drug deal we need to bust later, okay? Haha this might just happen though considering what Yuki-chan is going on about here. Which will signal the ending of this series, as they chat on the safest place on the planet not having to worry about getting kidnapped again- Don't jinx it, me. *laughs* Still, interesting episode overall and rather straightforward, and I'm kinda glad they didn't show more than whatever happened in (spoiler alert) Anime "RikeKoi" season 2, boy that was screwed up. I guess there isn't much clothing to tear off too Hina-chan doesn't really have any rack-

[Because I already saw the cast of the group (though I don't know what it's about) on the official Twitter/X account, RumiRumi was in the cast so that's not surprising though I don't recognize much of her voice (Edit: Okay she needs to sound that sadist though? Hehe alright me) since it was that one girl who was talking most of the time and don't even get me on the background noise when the guys sneaked in- Shukina-chan was in this too?? Haha okay she was the staff in the shop at the end phew she can't be bad because she cute-]

P.S. "(Osanai-san) better not have gone off with someone offering her candy." I know this is a good joke but what are the chances though? *giggles* And a white van?? Haha alright me.

P.P.S. "Kobato-kun, does it hurt? Are you alright?" Oh hell yeah romance plot discovered hehe "(Kengo) left in an ambulance. (The thanks) will have to be another time." Jesus Christ WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM lol he's such a bro though I can't even (hey, repaying for the times we had to deal with his nonsense)

[Okay let's cater a bit to my kidnap fetish a bit LMAO I am so sorry Yuki-chan but I gotta]

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable)

Long story short: Kodama Hikari will be on my shelf, and Aimer's out. *laughs*

Short story long, I ended up not caring about Aimer-san considering how much idolism was surrounding me (lol) so yeah, mainstream is out for now, Hitsujibungaku and Polkadot Stingray didn't help much on the case anyways. Other than that, you would be pleased to hear (get it?) that Akarin wins 2nd place though that is not much considering her new songs did not get me (and don't bother telling me ZAQ-san was involved in one of the songs) more than that music video did (hehe), and Miyu-chan... I keep thinking how (her music label) Nippon Columbia thought of the concept for her 1st album all those  years ago. That was just better, by the way, is my point. *sigh*

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

Maybe I not talk about the post-release lyric videos because I can't even see sh*t (lol) and instead focus on music videos which *chef's kiss* I would like to talk about how Minase Inori's new music video is also great it's literally a date with her in Paris but guess what I didn't even care about her half album last week so no thanks I'll just make my GIFs and move on. *laughs* So yeah, Akarin wins she brainwashed me real hard. *giggles* I have been immersing myself with w.o.d.'s live last night and damn it has all the ones I like though some of them I don't know so I will do my research this new month if the lack of releases doesn't mind. *wink* Oh, and the music video inside the live video digest isn't a joke; It is meant to represent the exact track list they are doing a live on ie. that new song will be performed live for the first time (I think).

Haha I will need to put more emoji on this segment if I have to find new releases to listen, honestly. I guess I will deal with live performance videos I have been keeping, and also Hitsujibungaku where we listened to their lives last month now actually. Yeah, we'll start with those. Oh also Porno Graffitti's best album because why not, we have not listened to their songs for a while, I'll listen to that on the off chance the former doesn't deliver which is unlikely so *shrugs*

Oh yeah, let's welcome the new month lol is it too late already. *laughs* No really, the Niconico subscriptions which have been going for months now (RIP my wallet) are coming back to use as we see the livestreams coming back. Hey, I had my first hand at Karin-chan's livestream earlier this week, my 2nd since I gave them money during the birthday stream. It was great. *giggles* I meant, the girlfriend vibes are great because somehow comments aren't flowing (if you would recall Niconico was the first to ever sport flowing comments on the viewing screen) (not Bilibili lol) and THEN asking if we are listening? *chef's kiss* This is how I knew she is eligible to be my girl. *laughs* Then agian, thinking back, I wonder if I could ever, EVER, give a listening ear to a woman I love. Probably, but our interests better be similar. I don't think I can stand hearing you talk about your nails more than "my nails are cute" like how MaiMai does it every time her nails show up on close-up on her monthly livestream. *silence* Anyways see you soon, I'm binging business videos now for some reason lmao watch my YouTube feed to go hell tomorrow, and hopefully this month will be better than the past few considering I just cleared my physical fitness requirements. *dabs*

No really this month is going to be DOPE I am getting emails for the upcoming packages already MUAHAHAHAHA CAPITALISM IS HAPPENING haha *hand signs cogs on a wheel* okay my head is spinning from watching these YouTube videos I need to stop I'm getting old
