I already ranted starting yesterday about watching this first because I have to- You know what? Screw that. *laughs* Here is a sacred place where we talk about stuff I like, we don't talk about work here. *giggles*

Anyways welcome back I hope no one missed me and I die alone every day even now, but hey, I'll watch more Anime and listen to more music to cheer me up! That's... the only redeeming thing I have. Oh, and fanfics. *giggles* RumiRumi somewhat related to me sounds like a great idea... in fiction, yes. *laughs*

Oh no wonder they mentioned about this new episode (#AoNoHako15) coinciding with Chinatsu's voice actress Ueda Reina's birthday and yes you bet my phone wallpapers this week was of her lol, because yeah happy birthday, dude. (Audience: To who?) (Yes haha) Oh yeah, we forgot she got heartbreak. We celebrating that, too? *laughs* Oh, this Anime. Looks like it has been a couple of months or so or just the basketball nationals are just closer to the new school semester, but considering how much Chinatsu hasn't been talking to her boi (lol) Taiki? I would assume it has just been a few days. *wink* Of course, it sucks to be Chinatsu now because apart from her being drilled by the coach (in training, don't think dirty) because she be the most senior member in the club now and also to punish her for missing that shot haha they don't tell you that lore but I will, she also uh, had to take on more responsibility considering she did decide to stay in Japan just to do this and leaving the family- Wait, the family left her, what am I talking about? *laughs* Also, this really isn't much Chinatsu you haven't been through adulthood where responsibility is obligation in the face of money so... your vice-captain role is just the beginning, trust me. *giggles* Moving on, and I like how Hina-chan is just more aggressive in her approach to her beloved considering she did reveal her not-so-dirty secret lol (come on we know her real dirty secret is-) (lmao what) so that she can well, just talk to the guy whenever. Ignoring Kyou. Who basically is monitoring them like CCTV, so I don't know what Hina-chan is trying to reject considering we can see through her clearer than those fairy wings in the opening theme animation. *dabs* But of course, the highlight of this episode is none other than Chinatsu trying to move on from her failures (and I would argue responsibilities because this is what happens when you turn 17 LMAO) and actually trying to talk it out with Taiki again... ended up going to the beach and being happy with him and uh... They can't go home now because they took the train which is now broken by a heavy downpour thanks to a landslide. And they so just happened to have to stay over. And they so happened to only have the one room. They just didn't have the one bed or else I would refer you to my fanfic with Ten-chan instead because (lmao) if this is not THE most cliche opening to a one night stand with a- Taiki can we stop lying to the mom you were hanging out with friends? Chinatsu-senpai is no friend, bro. *laughs* (Yeah, she is family *dabs*) But a good friend to talk to is much true considering they did ended up talking things out... well almost. But for now, at least Taiki can sleep well on the chair knowing that Chinatsu sleeping on the futon will not have to think about some dude who potentially might just get onto her physically while she has to worry about liking him back. *silence* Haha alright can we not write this plot so wrong here? This is a pure series. So pure, Taiki got his neck twisted seeing nape. *giggles* All in all... such is youth, huh. *laughs* I know right, been watching sh*t like these since 15 years ago already. *giggles* But yeah, it may be the same damn story, but in retrospect, this series knows to be straightforward like "Mruai no Koi" yet knows how to keep its secrets, and of course, at some point, these will become misunderstandings, and we will have to see Chinatsu be speechless seeing Hina grinding on her boi. *laughs* Okay maybe not that, but considering they are NOT even haha Taiki stop lying to yourself... we have a long ways to go. Oh you bet Chinatsu had a happy birthday she would have gotten a happier one if she- If she shot that final shot on the nationals, yeah. *sob* (Yep, I'm keeping secrets here, what of it?)

P.S. "Also, ever since the nationals, (Chinatsu) seemed sort of down." I'm pretty sure this is your fault, Taiki. *laughs* "This wasn't an excuse to come talk to you." Wow Akarin RECORD THAT DOWN RIGHT NOW haha this is Tsundere Pro Max right here

P.P.S. "I was the class representative last semester." Wow Chinatsu that's leadership right there- "Because you lost to a game of rock paper scissors." OOF Nagisa with the burn

Okay Yui-chan don't get Maria-chan that much she is really going to find you out. If she can sniff good sweets and share them on social media and be popular about it, she will smell your lovey-dovey relationship with her senpai too. *giggles* In this new episode where rules are meant to be broken haha *dabs* (#KaishaNiSuki02), BRO Maria-chan is basically me at work. I don't care if you love someone in the office, I just work there bro. *laughs* Okay it turns out I'm more like Somei, and somehow since like last year, I technically have a Mitsuya Yui in my life too, working together at the office, being nice to me and such, and yes, having a husband in my case. Well, she left already so *laughs* okay moving on dude, we talk about how they will still meet each other outside of the office even if it's for work. Whether it's by coincidence or... well now it's all coincidences maybe when half the office know that you guys are secretly dating then we can have those scenarios where someone will have a fever and only you two can hang out in a celebration dinner. *giggles* Don't deja vu me on such a romance plot, I just watched the first cour of "Ao no Hako". *dabs* Still, it's great to see more things happening in the office whether big or small, and yeah, how we all have little secrets we wish no one at work will find out. I mean, no point telling anyone what I like anyways, who cares about me anyways, I- Alright that's enough venting for the week for me. *laughs* Don't mind me, because this is still so real apart form the romance because I don't have those *sob* but I do have to work not in a company selling sweets so I guess I can be treated a sample by Yui-chan at work- That sounds SO WRONG in my head so I hope it doesn't on yours, thanks. *laughs* I mean, we did get to recall the stuff they did to each other at work then neutralized outside of work like how Yui gave her boi a shoulder massage just because he carried a few damn boxes LMAO hey he has the liberty to be taken care of and I don't so he wins, dude. *sob* Anyways, we just had more this episode, because we juuuuust happened to go to the same place to have dinner together. To me that's technically overtime because instead of code on a computer monitor I have to deal with people so *shrugs* haha yeah see Somei right at the corner there? I will tell you about all of his secrets because he's basically me. *laughs* He's a gamer, he doesn't like alcohol, Yui-chan is the nicest person to him in his life... Read back the front half, thanks. *laughs* Well Somei, you aren't going to be saved and now you have to keep a secret (ah hey) about these two so... good luck! *laughs* All in all... I really like the pace of the series so far. It clicks because I'm as adulthood as them so don't worry if you aren't old enough to understand that, but damn I wish I was this cool at work to show off to some chick who will like me. *silence* Unfortunately I'm Somei here so don't worry, I will NEVER get laid with someone at work. *laughs* HAHHHHHH I WANT TO BE DATING SOMEONE SOMEDAY- *sigh* (Yui-chan ranting here lol don't mind me)

P.S. "Please do not tell this to anyone." I mean, you read the subtitle of this series? I can keep a secret. "It's just a little embarrassing..." Oh boy FETISH UNLOCKED haha Maria-chan can you not?

P.P.S. "Well, it's not like you guys are getting married or anything." OOF Somei can we not dunk on these two they look like a happy couple you know *cringe* 

Is someone going to die today? I hope not. *laughs* In this new episode of a weird live or death mystery series where you don't really have to die to get here (#TasokareHotel02), well Atori here is not going to care if you are dead or not Neko-chan so get to work already. Oh, she's already dead. *laughs* ANYWAYS let's talk about more dead people. *giggles* Okay, they may not be dead we aren't sure yet. But in case you want to know, well spoiler alert, this dude isn't. This gambler of a useless man as I have been told by the other people who know him in real life. *cringe* Well, for starters, he gambles in everything. Okay, but what about the wife? *cringe* Haha maybe he doesn't have those so he didn't have to feel that pain but then again maybe it is truly because of this the wife let him too which is OOF but not surprising, no one really wants to deal with a chronic gambler. If you can place a bet or two it's fine, but if you are betting on who's the next person to appear within the room... I rather just walk out the door and come back in, and it'll be me. That's more definite. *giggles* Still, doesn't stop this dude from playing mahjong with the staff- What on Earth (Get it? Because he was buried?) is going on here? *laughs* Which at this point if kind of a joke to him already but no surprises, as he digs out (Get it? Because he was buried-) his own memories from where he ended up... I'm just glad he remembered he was buried alive, really. *silence* Anyways moving on my deja vu is kicking in as I write this already and no it's not the burying haha *ugh* but suffice it to say that above all else his life is in shambles, his mom did not give up on him because you know, family. *sob* But yeah, this will save him I would assume as he struggles to stay alive and maybe pay off all his debt, but seriously though, just pick up your own life, will ya? It'll do you no good if all you do is just horse-betting all day- Okay, don't learn from Lynn-san she is a professional. *laughs* All in all... I don't know if I could say I enjoy everything else in this series. Really, this is rather sloppy as a show as it can get. But I mean, at the least we gotta appreciate its storytelling. I know this isn't the run-of-the-mill mystery hit series because this is a video game adaptation in terms of pace and direction they already had to redo it just so it fits this episode time frame, and the hints are rather obvious that all this dude has to do this episode was to take the phone call which he didn't before he was here, but yeah, it's alright though, the logic checks out. (Get it? Because hotel-) Again, I don't think we have reached the extreme stories yet where again I mentioned before and it might be in the trailer, that a guest might be an antagonist that will go against even the hotel itself, but yeah, we will deal with that as it comes, I guess? Life and death in this hotel is a gamble, after all. *wink* See you on the next one, Ruri-chan. *giggles* I'm sure we will get to know more of her as time goes on haha don't let me tell you that the weirdest cases in this series are going to be the staff themselves- Oops, we are only feet deep in the soil, don't call the bulldozer in too quick. *wink*

P.S. "Aren't you tired of looking after me?" Not to lie, Neko-chan? Yes. *laughs* "Of course. You are the staff, not a guest." Atori LMAO you see?

P.P.S. "Seriously, what's going on with that head of his?" He's just on fire, Neko-chan, don't worry about all the damn song references I'm going to make. *laughs* "Of course you get paid. We aren't an abusive company." I'm glad to hear it- Can I use it to buy true love with this or...? *giggles*

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable, of current year unless specified)

This was the first week of listening to new songs for the year, and I must say that both of them did not live up to the hype, which isn't surprising but I wish we had more. I didn't have enough personally so apart from giving one song from each, I ended up missing Bearwear and that's when I found out they weren't a band anymore? Well, I mean, getting a virtual singer popular might be a way to write songs at this time and age, so why not, dude? The title song is also adequate for the Year of the Snake too, though that has been released half a year ago. *giggles*

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

Yeah, Honki Dance, I'm listening. *giggles*

And yes, MusicRay'n 3rd generation of voice actress are still NOT in an idol group together yet. *laughs* That is like a joke ever since I knew of them or actually all of us with IDOLY PRIDE, and that's like 5 years ago so... I don't know. I'm glad I guess, let's hope this will take off. *laughs*

I know I may say Ikimono's THE FIRST TAKE performance is too stark of a contrast, but it's still better than SPYAIR who just wrote a boring emotional song I can't even so... maybe I come back and give Honki Dance right about now? Yeah, I'll think about it.

So next week. We have songs. *laughs* Please, I'm not going to give like, Shinsei Kamatte-chan that one song is enough to cause me PTSD and that's their normal style. *giggles* So yeah, maybe Polka and THE ORAL CIGARETTES will cheer me up. I sure hope so for the latter, we are not on a good streak right now seeing this week's releases.

Oh, and hopefully I'll think of Enpitsu for a little bit more, I'm putting it here. TOMOO-san was easier to give thanks for asking. *giggles* Her new song got praised by her senpai Futoshi from Aqua Timez so yeah, that's how you know you're good. *thumbs up*

Now that I'm done with crying about how much I paid for the family dinner earlier *sob* haha don't worry about it I gotta make wrong choices every year so this is that first one. *laughs* Anyways, I hope I didn't make a bad mistake of watching Anime on weekends AND on Monday so yes see you again tomorrow by the way, because damn is working on this until midnight last Monday not that fun. *silence* We don't torture ourselves here we just hope that things I do I will like. *wink* See you guys next time then, and until then... I don't know, I gotta tank through another week before Lunar New Year so I'll be happier then I guess. *giggles*

AND WHY MUST THE NEW SEASON OF KANOKARI BE TWO COURS LONG MY LONGEST LOVE STORY FANFIC STREAK WITH TEN-CHAN IS ONLY THREE WEEKS LONG (lol) (I'm into it though, I don't abandon sequels)
