Well, we're already going off the rails in this new year, so why not just keep it going. *giggles*

Not talking about my new year resolutions though they are mostly of pain and change encouraged by luck lol, but we can talk about the luck part!! *dabs* I mean, if the slew of DOAXVV gacha wins didn't make sure my luck was on point especially of Monica and I think she came into me now haha what (as in in game), then maybe we'll talk about Anime I can watch now and uh, music of past years I can listen to too. For the latter? I'm just glad I gave the Song Awards already. *laughs*

For the former though, let's go back to a time where "Kaguya-sama" is still freshly in our minds and I'm definitely not thinking about dating Koga Aoi. *giggles* Hey, it's been that many years, I guess, we're all getting old Koga-chan let's date-

Do you want me to talk about why this exists or all the things they have done to this poor series to keep it going that I should be grateful for? *laughs* Okay jokes aside though and I mean by the sequel and likely final of this long-drawn series I'm sure like you we are done by the time they graduated form that prestigious high school, in this adult-themed special AY YO (#KaguyaSamaSP) haha not that, now that I have seen it, describes the stuff that happened after the school festival, this one I had to look back, near the end of the year. So winter stuff. The special started out strong with a standard prank from Chika-chan (lol) and then just Ishigami knowing this isn't going to work (haha yeah he right) until the former decided to prank Kaguya on her birthday about Shirogane dating someone. So yeah, her. *dabs* And that's real despite her holding the pranked sign, and... that's kinda all we need to know. The details are of course in watching this so I won't talk about it too much, as I will just briefly talk about them. Just go watch it you loser. *laughs* Firstly, we are reminded about the couple and what this whole series is about. The "romance brain battle" thing. Oh and in case you forgotten what the whatever battle of intelligence thing really is... it only works between the couple and no one else, just so you know. *laughs* I mean, it doesn't really matter between Miko-chan or whoever that clown is haha, and not like anyone besides Shirogane will figure out Kaguya's cryptic diary to give her a gift as a reply, so yeah, that part is true, the author kept that spirit alive. Everything else though is explained via Kaguya bringing out albums at... her home or something but now that I've seen it all I can at least say it has been years since Shirogane studied overseas and came back and thank goodness Kaguya isn't holding a 4-year-old (lmao) so uh, yeah, not going to think too far into that because it looks like we have a sequel of a finale for that. For what has happened though, from the call in bed to the one night stand- Oh, the phone call in bed first then. *giggles* Yo, "KimiSomu" may have done it better than them considering they aren't even calling each other which is based you save on call time that way LMAO, it's also just giving me a boner gooner that why haven't we gotten some Kaguya-sama ASMR until now. Yes, I am fully satisfied, we can end this series now. *laughs* And of course the joke isn't on Kaguya being able to talk into the night with her boi in her bed, but how her boi is talking with her on his bed into the night... where the whole family can hear him. *laughs* Hey, no secrets between family, amirite fellas?We didn't even see Kaguya's brother and dad anymore. *cringe* Moving on though, they also talked about how Shirogane's dad managed to get out of his debt and live the luxurious life with his family, as a- I can't use that word so a streamer!! *laughs* Which is bizarre I guess especially when you notice the blurred out image search of the voice actor's characters which might have changed by now and (I'm not joking) his profile picture and Wikipedia page in Japanese (links attached so you're welcome) but also of course, the kids don't believe that the dad could make it rich. Well, not until Kei-chan walked by the screen a few times and told the chat that they are crazy for donating to her cuteness- IS THIS TOO REAL OR WHAT STOP GIVING YOUR MONEY TO CHICKS ONLINE NOT EVEN THE VIETNAM ONES- Haha I had to remind my dad once in a while for that though. *laughs*

But of course, we can't be talking about adult stuff if they aren't doing it in this special, right...? How did they air this on national TV on New Year's Eve last year again? *laughs* Hey, they still did it though, Shirogane did prove that naked Shinomiya Kaguya does exist. *laughs* Also, aren't they like 17? What is this, adolescence? Dude, I'm the sum of their ages soon and I- *laughs* I won't go into the details into how it happened or else this might as well be a erotic light novel lmao, but "one night's stand" is a good summary of all of it. *giggles* No, I have not invited anyone to an empty house to which I own. No, I have not managed to let a girl use the shower and don my clothing which ironically isn't some dumb graphic tee with stupid words attached to it. (LMAO if you know you know) And no, I have not have the priviledge to having some chick love me so much we ended up f**king even though we said not to rush. *laughs* Which is a good reminder to what was the "movie" in the prequel, where they then realized how little time though one season long (as in winter) to enjoy each other's... everything specifically time, till then. *giggles* Bragging to Hayasaka afterwards is just flair now. *laughs* And of course, when Shirogane had to leave for the airport. I would argue that it's easier to be sleeping at his place and leave with him when the times comes but uh... I guess it'll be disturbing to the neighbours even if they were just sleeping because Kei and her dad would be wide awake all night. *laughs* Somehow Kaguya missed the plane because she got wet so hard thinking of her boi and- Okay what is wrong with me dude. *laughs* So here's where we talk about how this is going to work going forward. For starters, meeting up even across the globe isn't much of a problem, as shown by Kaguya just booking a private jet to go see her boi when she missed him at the airport initially. And everyone was saying their goodbyes and such? Thankfully there's video call nowadays which will make you wonder why the phone call earlier then? Maybe they just wanted to make Koga Aoi squeal which is *fap* if you ask me haha what, so I guess Shirogane isn't going to be cheating on her anytime soon if they get to communicate and see each other this often in person. *wink* All in all... by now you should know why I am no longer interested in Akasaka Aka-sensei's other stories. They don't have Koga Aoi- *laughs* Okay, so what's the sequel announced for this again? *giggles* From the epilogue though, it seems like something weird is going to happen which I mean if it's aliens this will be officially worse than "Glasslip" in my Anime rankings lol, so we shall see when it happens, I could use a break from this though even if the author's recent works are all bangers and I don't care. *laughs* Still, I did enjoy watching it even if they didn't really give us a proper flow of storytelling this time around, so it'll be interesting (or cringe) to see what they have to do for the finale. Going from the epilogue? I'm not going to hold my breath. *laughs* I'm just *double checks season 3 credits* amazed that they picked Marinka-chan to end this series, which, fair, will likely be my last reason to like this series forever. See you then.

P.S. "Birthday surprises! A custom where a surprise is planned in hopes that someone's birthday will be memorable." Ah the stuff I hate lol and I assume for Kaguya too considering here lol "But depending on the surprise, it can become bullying, calling into question the sensibility of the one doing the surprise." LMAO so yeah, Fujiwara, by the way. *laughs*

P.P.S. "No, I don't need to get worked up over this. I just need to accept what naturally happens naturally. Just let whatever happens happen." And then hard cut to Kaguya on top of Shirogane? *laughs* "You're going off to America, and we don't have much time left, so is it really strange to rush things?" SHE IS RIGHT *dabs*

[KAGUYA-SAMA SPECIAL!!! Just because I don't know where to offset my boner-]

Okay, this is quite a list so let's go through what I remember of them as I listened to them on Friday.

Moeshi's album is like okay, and I didn't remember that half the songs were covers until I heard a Nan-chan cover in it on the final track lol, but if we're talking about her originals then maybe the last song which is also the emotional one is the only one that will hit. I have another song lined up so maybe that also I'll revise that next week.

Furui Riho turned out to be a real turn off considering how similar she normally is to Kroi than to Anime and that's not surprising she is a hip-hop artist after all, pop music is just for Anime and to get the top spot in Klassic Note last year. *giggles* As such, I did not get much from her album though similar to Kroi, and the latter is even hard to give even if it's a remaster of their debut indie album.

krage is a** so we shall not talk about her no more lol and that's why Anime is better just because it had production controlling them, and shallm's album is alright, definitely less rough than when I tried to delve into their music library last year after I heard the one song they sang for Anime with "Aharen-san" season 2. Similar to Riho-san here? Yeah, not that great, so we are at a rough start this year ngl.

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

Okay note to self, watch ORAL CIGARETTES first before the other rock festivals you intend to catch up on. *laughs* By Tuesday also, please. *giggles*

Other than that, hype for SPECIAL OTHERS collab album that's the only time (ignore that Futari Solo Camp Anime pls) their music has a voice attached to it (also ignore their early days where I vibe to their 2009 album lol) (I miss those though tbh), Porno Graffitti is even hype ever since their song last year which did get on the rankings THEY ARE BACK BABY!! *giggles*

What is NOT BACK THOUGH lol... did Mizuno-sensei think that the way to get out of that 20th anniversary repoter conference (refer to MV) is to make a what, sorta Bossa Nova version of their 2010 song? Kids will get this these days? Bruh. *laughs* Nostalgia is a great pill, but I'm not going to keep eating it if it doesn't improve my mental health. *shrugs* Also anewhite not showing much last year too, which is probably also why I didn't bother putting them in Top 20, so please do this year that's why I'm following you guys.

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

Next week though this time it's the guys' round now haha maybe I will find a couple more releases to compliment these guys- Excuse me, this Top 20 artist of Klassic Note haha you're welcome you're definitely a better vibe than whatever the first cour of "Ao no Hako" gave us I even forgot their name lmao, and after this I will go through some rock festival lives to see if I can pick up someone new. (Edit: Maybe Dannie May- Don't read the title I thought it was a slur lmao)

Oh, this is going to be the month unless I care about the new digital singles which may or may not hit, and unless I give some Anime theme songs, do take note this is how this month is going to go. Or at least, I will have to, padding the song list with past year songs?? EWWWW *laughs*

Oh yeah, I already did my omikuji for the year, those things Japanese do on shrines every year, I just did mine online from the same source as last year's. It's just very surprising it's not excellent luck and ironically similar to last year's one, even if slightly better. *cringe* Okay maybe just for the peach colour I know I cannot get p*ssy already but do they have to slap that also on "people who bring me bad luck"? *laughs* Same birth month people are good luck though so I guess Marinka-chan!!! Better take note to keep the fanclub subscription or another year... *giggles* And uh, I guess I should eat more protein like the rest of America is craving. *laughs* See you guys next week then, and until then... uh, I maaaaay just add another order batch to the winter Comiket batch since it's not appearing anytime soon, and I will probably take Chinese New Year week off which will likely be the time this appears. *dabs* May I have a great next few months ahead and me please offset this by applying for some job interviews!! And I'm done for the week!! *giggles*

P.S. I almost forgot, remember my calendar for the year was Yukimura Eri and her Taisho Era-themed desk calendar which had monthly content if you scan the calendar pages itself on the respective months? Yeah, that was something I needed to remember so in case you need to see what it was...
