And... we're near the end of November. *laughs*

Apart from my sis not wanting to do the monthly family dinner anymore which I assumed made her fat, and me having to deal with family reunion problems, uh... everything's working great! I can't wait to have to make the logical decision to change my job and be waaaay more miserable than all of this. *silence* Welcome back. *laughs*

I don't think I remembered much of what I did this week and I don't mean work lol let's just put that aside for now and tomorrow just as Japan will it's to align with their public holidays *wink* I also did just buy a bunch of digital photobooks RIGHT BEFORE Karin-chan's new gravure magazine appearance so... at least I could use the Kindle campaign on Amazon Japan to redeem more points than usual to get a discount on that next month?

ANYWAYS haha that's good enough of an intro I can't believe I sh*tted that out of nothing lmao so let's!

Yeah, Kiyoko cheering for Yano-kun and Izumi for me. *dabs* Oh, she prefers to cheer on little boys. *laughs* I am little look at my- IN THIS NEW EPISODE WHERE (haha) (#YanoKun08) where Sakura-chan from the "Horimiya" series can cheer better than anyone else here because I love her armpits and you cannot change my mind, but they didn't agree to this. Wait, what? *laughs* Oh, I meant Kiyoko, who technically got asked out by Hashiba... and if not for Japan being a more reserved culture and Kiyoko not having replied the gentleman... We can just ignore that, dude. *dabs* So firstly, about the school's baseball team. Hashiba is in it. He's batting in the 2nd last inning. He did a home run. The school who went there to support the team out in the hot sun in summer was amazed. But yeah, they didn't win. And I don't mean like for Hashiba, since he never got Kiyoko to agree to go on a movie date with him just like how she did with Yano-kun... and then just ran away. Like, even if you said it by mistake, I would LOVE to hear a reply. No is better than... what do they call that in quantum physics? *laughs* So yeah, no count bro, if you love those "runs" like running away from your relationship problems and baseball, you can keep doing it and Yano is just going to slide in to take Kiyoko. *dabs* GOTTEM haha I mean, I can burn him forever but he is already in living hell so whatever. *laughs* And then there's the group for summer festival. We got the main couple which interestingly Kiyoko has admitted they are couple but haven't held hands before, and it has only been 3 handshakes so far- How does she even remember that? WOMEN AMIRITE FELLAS THEY REMEMBER EVERYTHING- Let's move on before I'm cancelled I respect women I don't even talk to them, mind you. *sob* We got the foodie team haha I mean if you think Mel-chan doesn't mind dating that idiot Tanaka, you got another thing coming. *laughs* And I don't think we will see Izumi liking her childhood friend which, I would argue, would've been a great plot twist. Heck, this isn't your typical romance series, if we need Yano-kun to be hit with something all the damn time such that Kiyoko can take care of him and make it looks like Hashiba is being cucked, so be it. *laughs* And damn did I see the ending coming all the way from the ring store where Yano is, and he bought one for his gal. Yeah, who's the proactive lover now, Hashiba? *dabs* All in all... poor Hashiba in case the episode hasn't given you enough hints. *laughs* But I'd like to believe that in Japan's traditional way of romance of not admitting the main couple is dating (lol) and Hashiba's fist at the end, I think he will still try as much as his timid personality is, to get Kiyoko even if Yano is like, super aggressive like he said. *wink* Still, if this is what really gets the source material to be popular in the first place? Heck, this might be the most interesting romance series I've seen in a while, and I'm in. Just uh, don't ask if I want Kiyoko or not, she is no longer up for grabs. Hey, Izumi-chan, want to date? I'm free next summer. *dabs*

P.S. "When did you and Yano-kun become such close friends?" After that day hanging out at the park, you wouldn't want to know. *giggles* "We split a snack together and hung out at the park until it got dark." JUST A COUPLE OF BROS JUST SWINGING- I'm going to make this joke every time. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Well, as your long time childhood friend, I'll keep watching over you in my own warm, caring way." Hey Hashiba, you be glad you got Izumi. I wished Rieri was my childhood friend in real life- *dabs* "The ultimate pairing." Yeah Mel-chan I can see that between you and Tanaka and these guys. *giggles*

[GIF FEVER!!!! Mainly because I cannot stand the sorcery that is happening to the one Yano Tsuyoshi haha]

Oh she can't, she's a robot and not waterproof. *giggles* But we can at least get the bikini out, right? No? Haha in this new episode where it's cold out here and all they are doing is to beat the heat lol she can beat me if you know what I mean lol (#KikaijikakeNoMarie08), well they didn't but Arthur thought it'll be great to take Marie on a trip to his private island so... I guess this counts. *giggles* But first, we have makeup exams to deal with?? *cringe* Which is CRAZY ironic for Arthur who is just top of the class in their advanced curriculum- Oh, you mean Marie-chan. *laughs* Yeah, didn't pre-download all the content to pass the exams, I guess. *shrugs* Haha I like how Marie-chan is smarter than me and said it'll take a week when the makeups are in a couple of days, so he begrudgingly got Noah to join them to study in the library... which I assume has Arthur's fan club staring at them this whole time. *laughs* Noah did a lot of things to make Marie frantic instead of study but also just Arthur's presence is making her learn nothing despite being a robot lmao, is also ironically hinting on Arthur that he knows of Marie's... past. As a lawn mower. *laughs* No no let's try that again. Maybe Noah was the previous owner...? Wait, that sounds f**ked up even as a robot. *laughs* But as Marie-chan keeps lying to her master, it really will make Arthur think at some point, that Noah just telling him about "Marie's past" is probably just trivial since he thinks he already knows everything, and then Noah's going to be like "she's a child prodigy in boxing" and he's going to be SO CONFUSED I can't even. *giggles* Meanwhile though, Noah has done better things to thwart Arthur's plans, like sending invites to everyone (including the fan club and that's how we get some boobies going HELL YEAH lol) just so they can see these two make out- Uh, I mean, enjoy the beach and you know, pull off some casual pranks like that robot prototype because who forgot to kick the stepbrother out of the Zetes Corporation or is it a thing with family legacy or whatever that he needs to have a minority share? Haha ANYWAYS, the couple had to escape the chaos, and this is where the script just went on the floor upside down where Marie tried to catch it and it's just a blank piece of paper, perfect analogy to this, I would argue. *laughs* But yeah, she managed to fake it off including how she managed to suck a coconut dry to stop the speaker in her robot stomach from growling- Okay I'm done with the lying, you help yourself Marie-chan. *giggles* All in all... yeah this story doesn't have much to offer. Not even rack. Not even action. *giggles* Though I would still say, MVP Marie 2 every episode from a couple of episodes ago already, to be frank. I might just fall in love with a robot if these 2 twerks keep acting like they don't love each other. *laughs* But yeah, this is the vibe you get with this series so don't be too surprised if there isn't much and probably still come to a more conclusive end than like, "Yano-kun". *laughs* Don't ask how I know, this is how Anime works. *giggles* And it looks like next episode, we might have something to expose. Well, we have exposed all the skin that we can legally show on camera so... Oh, the real her. *laughs* 

P.S. "What are you thinking, u-u-undressing a boy?!" Yo Arthur, relax. It's just me. *dabs* "I'm with her twenty-four hours a day." So wait, even when Marie sleeps- I mean, recharges? *laughs*

P.P.S. "I'm told that I was designed to resemble humans as closely as possible." Okay but why the flat chest though...?? No no no Naobou I wasn't talking about you- "If I were a human girl, I'm sure I would have fallen in love with you." YES SHE SAID IT- I wish Naobou said that to me. Wait, what? *giggles*

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

Yeah, we already knew who won this week. *giggles*

Just the start of the week did I receive a warm welcome to Tsuji Shion's new album and though it's not going to be as legendary as it hit me with her first album (I hate to say this but) 15 years ago and that album is still on my shelf *dabs* it still kinda delivered a couple of memorable melodies and pop styles reminiscent of her style. I won't say it's an impression but it at the least did get me. Porno Graffitti did also get me with the new single even so I gave the B-side and it was stuck on my head for the week, but I think DayRe: stood out more than I thought, though not giving the title song of the EP, though it took a while for me to recognize their voices. Yes, all 5 of them haha, and let's hope I can keep the momentum going just like I did the past 2 times. *dabs*

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

Okay okay that Chatmonchy one almost got me, not gonna lie here. *laughs*

But since I'm not into vinyl I can barely keep them but thanks for the nostalgia and the TikTok account lol, so at least Hitsujibungaku and Suchmos are making me happy. and w.o.d. is just paying back the same way but in instalments. *giggles* Either way, we are at the end of the year where my opinions of songs will be more strict, so forgive me if I say SanPashi's new song really isn't great and/or I'm not giving title songs of EPs and albums like I used to. *shrugs*

...

Alright moto-san, I can feel your new song's vibes. Can we have more of this instead, please? And don't label your style as "Alternative"? *laughs*

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

So yeah, screwed up on this last week, so Yui-chan's back here again. *laughs* And blah blah said that last week just read back haha gave the 2 out of 3 digital singles released in the past 3 months so this will be a breeze, unless like, FIVE NEW OLD here wants to trash the living idolism out of her... I think we're good, Yui-chan. *blessed*

Oh, DO you really want to hear me talk about how bad BuyAndShip REALLY is??? *cringe*

Well you remembered that name, I used the locally-based forwarding service and did this once earlier this year, and thought I could see if they could be fast enough to get those damn marupi bromides which only were on limited sale for like, 3 days. And they did. Just rejecting a listing 6 months old sucked. *laughs* Thank goodness the new Ani-PASS Plus magazine with the Inorin and Yui-chan covers redeemed it *blessed* so I'll take that as a W. More W than how I screwed up this month's package... as it'll come in next weekend. *shrugs* We can't all have Ws we need some Ls too. *dabs* See you guys next week then, until next time... I wish I hadn't forced myself to go out for half of yesterday so that I can pay and watch BOTH Mocho radio livestreams that afternoon just like how Nan-chan did. *silence*

Oh well, guess we can't all be Ws- See what I mean now? Dude, even the fanfic this week is also I... I almost forgot to write it. *laughs*

P.S. Yeah, to celebrate #DOAXVV8th I did try to get (keyword being try) a new SSR every day of the week without fail from the new themed outfit (and I don't think I will continue anymore after today considering my luck this morning *cries*) but I do still have a bunch of SSR tickets to open every day for next week so uh... maybe they won't be all duplicates? We can but hope. *prays*
