Hey guys, welcome back. Not my sanity, no. *laughs*

ANYWAYS haha we need to stay not too real here in this wonderful place I have updated certain elements if you have noticed especially the search function holy damn that took a while to do. At work. *giggles* FORGET WHAT I SAID because you would not even believe me when I said that I just subscribed to Tomita Miyu-chan's fanclub to watch her birthday livestream but would not pay a cent to what, Kido Ibuki's monthly livestream? Hey, there is a limit to me supporting you when you are married. *dabs*

I will revise my fanclub subscriptions by the end of the year which will NOT include Takao Kanon's newly open fanclub haha no I'm not that desperate yet lol, but hey, maybe after I add back Touyama Nao (because this season) and Uesaka Sumire (because rack) and kicked out a couple more later this month, maybe I will have some money to feed myself tomorrow. *laughs*

Enough about Japanese voice actress idolism for now unless you want more if that's the case there's the fanfic yesterday hehe. If not, let's Anime and music! Trust me, the hardest thing these days to do is to stop watching YouTube or Twitch to watch "Yano-kun" haha I have motivation for that don't worry this isn't some sequel obligation. *giggles*

Yeah and he immediately lands on concrete? Been there done that, be cool for a second and then flop immediately? Hey, it's the moment that counts. *dabs* In this new episode where we thought Kiyoko was cool but turns out she isn't lol (#YanoKun07), and since ALL our references are with respect to manga and to be honest the source material of this story is also from a manga series adaptation so uh... Yeah, street accurate, totally real and not fictional or whatever. *giggles* Let's go through what happened after the confession- I mean, we can call that, yes? I will be more confident in calling these out from here on because for starters, Kiyoko isn't sure if all of this is it. Dating or going steady and stuff. Literally, she has no idea what to do when going steady. I mean, we've all been there UNLESS you are a gigachad like me who is as smart as elementary schooler Miyu-chan here who is also well-versed in the romance genre of the 2D world (LMAO) to know how to give relationship advice to others based on that? Hey Miyu-chan just a warning? AI will be better at this than us at some point and their data is from real people online so yeah, count your odds by then lol. Also, does this just also mean Miyu-chan here has been lying to Kiyoko's sister all this time for having a boyfriend...? I KNEW IT haha hey this secret stays between us, girl, you be good to give some advice to our main girl Kiyoko here, we need progress in this story. *giggles* So yeah, I guess Kiyoko thought it out and so did Yano-kun to be frank, because so far even as classmates they were being kind to not bother each other after school and stuff? Man, if I did this to my friends I would have even lesser friends than I have now which doesn't say much BUT STILL!!! *laughs* It is true though even for relationships in general, if you can just bother them often enough they won't peck at you, means you guys are in one. Friends, family, lovers... it's all the same baseline if you think about it. So yeah, Kiyoko shying away from it is not like, going along with this flow, dude. And I cannot imagine this holding back in front of friends and family. What is this, your next job promotion? Leave those formalities during adult life, trust me. *sob* Then again it IS Japan right here so maybe, the author chose to go the softer route. Well, not really when they have to hit Yano-kun hard with something. *laughs* Speaking about hitting, Yano-kun did hit Kiyoko with a date- Excuse me, a friendly outing *laughs* to the movies because damn, why is it only the two of them and we can't call this a date? *giggles* Dude, even Yano-kun knows this is one even though Kiyoko is like maybe this doesn't count until we do this a couple more times. BRUH. *laughs* All in all though, I kind of like where this is going, even though I feel like they can touch more on the friends part of the story ie. everyone else, instead of just like, go between the main couple and stuff but hey, it's easy to justify the latter just because if we need to lengthen scenes we just uh, get Yano-kun into an accident. And no one is the wiser. *giggles* No seriously though, we like, a protection vest or hoodie when you go outdoors, Yano Tsuyoshi. We have the technology lol I can't wait when he brings the rest of his family out and his dad hits the same damn places in the cinema as he does LMAO this Anime is just jokes I can't even- You think his dad is also as good as him in art or low jumps? Maybe that's how his dad met his mom? *wink*

P.S. "If he encounters danger in a dark place like this, I won't be able to help him out right away! How could I bring Yano-kun to such a dangerous place?" We're talking about being in a cinema, right? Not like, an amusement park or construction site? *laughs*

P.P.S. "I don't think I've ever experienced so many emotions in just an hour and a half before!" Yeah so did she but she wasn't watching the movie. *laughs*

I mean, why be in the fan club when you are his No.1 fan amirite ladies?? Ladies? *laughs* In this new episode where two high schools are to merge into one and this isn't in my home country *cringe* (#KikaijikakeNoMarie07) and this is technically sadder because they are to merge into one name which will erase traces of the other school- WHAT KIND OF MERGER IS THIS?? *cringe* Anyways ignoring whatever that is and I will get back to this in a bit, we have to deal with Arthur being perfect and scoring for the school's sports festival- Why am I even talking like a fan club member? *laughs* Okay okay you get the point, Arthur is going to kill it in the events, and his "best friend" Daryl is concerned. So concerned, he has to find out from Marie-chan which events he is in so that he can sabotage the f**k out of him- Wait, what? *giggles* So yeah what a surprise, and again as Arthur mentioned once again because of spite, people are just being friends with him so that they can dunk on him just because HE IS THAT GOOD- Jealous, aren't we, people? *silence* You think that's why billionaires are taking revenge on us for what we did to their childhood? Oh, businessmen are dumber, got it. *laughs* Let's just leave corporations out of this for now, because it didn't take much for Daryl to do any of the bad things he has done as a kid... and just do it again in high school as if no one knew of it. Bruh. I mean, Arthur's a friend for just knowing you LOVE air guns haha, so it's not hard to find out who is helping you make the school merger in your favour which, and I would like to emphasize this now, will make them schoolmates after this. *laughs* So yeah, maybe punching him at the end wasn't that great after all. Even the elementary school flashback wasn't that great. Like, what even is Daryl? An undercover agent? Make friends and betray the sh*t out of them? *cringe* I guess the show's purpose is just to show us that even in tough times he is a stepchild but of another family and they helped each other at the start, still ended up being enemies just because of Arthur. Yeah, just because the other was just SO DAMN ASS we had to make an example out of him- I mean, out of them. *giggles* I'm so sorry Arthur, but heck if your dad attended this school and you are just here to preserve its name, maybe just transfer to another school so we can deal with less rivalry from here on. Maybe. *shrugs* All in all... if Daryl counts as Arthur's best friend, then everyone I've known in middle school are my best friends. *laughs* Okay foreshadowing is a bad literary device so let's leave my real life alone for now, but between Marie 2 working with Noah working with Marie-chan (lol) and just the Arthur Fan Club being horny horses LMAO, I AM SURE there's something in this episode that got you as much as Marie's tears got her. *wink* I mean, the animation is trash, and the story is rather expected I already predicted it in social while I was watching this, so yeah, I kind of miss Girlfriend Mode now. *laughs* We aren't here for betrayal even though that's half of this series to be frank, so let's hope there's lesser or easier ones like that assassin who waited for Marie-chan to change into her maid outfit in order to beat the tree out of him lol poor tree in the school dude Mother Nature took one for us in order to vent out Marie-chan's anger for Arthur's not friend.

P.S. "Arthur might mistake us for horses and mount us if we wear these!" ALRIGHT LADIES haha also in case you wonder how the idea for the popular Uma Musume series was created... *laughs*

P.P.S. "Marie 2, didn't you swear you were going to mince Noah the next time you saw him?" I think this is what we call a temporary ceasefire? There's a new common enemy in town, after all. *giggles*

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

Okay we have technically reached the point where songs are hard to give in view of reviewing songs for the year to give in the song awards I do every end of the year. But I will also assume many here can be explained based on my experience of them, so I'm not going to talk about a flood of circle every again. *laughs*

Aimer-san is fine I kind of flipped the impression on her songs this release. I initially liked the first song from the music video but ended up liking the pop beat and melody of the 2nd song so there's that. TOMOO-san is hard to give and I am still struggling to give her rather mellow songs right now, and maybe influenced by her song in Anime "CITY" I must enjoyed her joyful songs then her piano solo or ballad songs, that sort of thing. Higuchi Ai didn't hit me as much as well and this is an album from last month already but I did manage to like one song so I'll stick with that. And we don't talk about RyokuShaka. *laughs*

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

I didn't vote for SpecialThanks not because I need a Bitfan account. I didn't because I didn't know of their indie songs which are ONLY in English. Bro, I liked Misaki-chan BECAUSE she sang Japanese songs. *dabs*

Otherwise, I guess we are dealing with a F**K TON of NEW albums too next month, huh. Why? *laughs* I know right, maybe I should move my song awards to April now. *giggles* Anyways, we shall see I doubt any of these will be masterpieces fast enough to hit the rankings, but we shall see. The list of Top 20 I've compiled right now is rather empty considering we are 2 months left for the year. *shrugs*

(*Release type in square brackets, else assume single song release)

I mean, I can already see the winners already. *giggles*

Apart from Tsuji Shion which will DESTROY the competition by releasing 2 days earlier (hehe) so yeah she kinda cheated but I doubt it'll change the outcome, but Porno Graffitti here will be the biggest loser considering we already know of the songs in Yui-chan's mini-album with the new songs over the past 3 months, and I have faith in MusicRay'n 3rd generation's idol group. *thumbs up*

Haha that's not true we know there is only one winner. *laughs*

Edit: Yui-chan is the following week, strikeout to indicate mistake.

I really am regretting deleting that Google Keep note I used to track the villagers I had in the latest Animal Crossing game days before the new free update was introduced. *sigh* Now that my memories of all the animals are wiped lol RIP I forgot their names already tbh, I had a brainwave to prepare myself for the new update next year... by doing an advent calendar made of card pack openings!! Yeah, the amiibo cards which can be scanned in to invite, so that'll come useful in due time... provided if they ship. Please, Amazon, it's free shipping. *wink*

Anyways, I'll sit here and wait for the Marie-chan Anime to drop by to end the week, and until next time...!!! Maybe I'll try to roll an SSR every day of next week for DOAXVV considering they just blessed us with the Luau with the new swimsuit. Bro, in photo-taking mode you can use the wind effect to reduce the chest... flowers haha, and the water effect grows them back? THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE USING MY MONEY TO CREATE?? Good, here's more. *laughs*

P.S. Oh boy I can't wait for tomorrow to come already so have a good night, and I'll see you next week. Wow, what a formal ending haha ah hey you get it once since I'm feeling nice today. *wink*
