Well, if you don't feel like how I did 2 months ago right up until now, it's understandable. *laughs*

But okay not for the new package that has arrived that will have to sit for a week before I get it wrapped so I can present a birthday gift to myself lol, which is also a good reflection of my gacha life right now since I didn't get any SSRs for the Valentine's Day event on DOAXVV anyways. *sob*

Now that I'm sad and alone and old and we still got a week to go before the holidays and where I will enjoy bliss for possibly the last time this year until I decide to change careers LMAO- Let's just Anime and music, I want to talk about idols but I just... can't, they aren't weekly content unless I'm talking about NonNon who did it on Thursday before realizing it isn't Friday yet. *giggles*

Oh, the sprained leg. *laughs* Also, who's the real hero now?? Don't tell me that's what they want to point to from the beginning? *gasp* Haha ah hey if the new episode is any indicator (#PrismRondo07) then yeah I can ship Shin x Lili-chan, sure man, if the sister isn't jealous. *laughs* Also, the sister's never gonna speak, huh. Who is this, Nezuko from "Kimetsu no Yaiba"? *laughs* So, story. Story is that Shinnosuke ended up finding Lili-chan but it's not because she was shouting for help, no. She was sleeping in the yard which she was scarred from by the peacock and whatever weird sounds happening at the mansion at night, so I assumed Aphrodite was here first before she dozed off... yes? *giggles* But regardless, Kit was out of the equation from now, and I can understand why. And I guess this does have its consequences from what happened on the ball that night. That night in which Lili rather she wore her own dress than rent literally the family dress from Church's estate to wear in front of Kit's fiancee- I guess Catherine isn't wrong in that regard. *laughs* Also, shout out to the bois going to the museum and having a drink at the bar, where- Dude, Peter, THAT is the problem, man. You have to be in the world of Christopher Church to know of this. Like, when your world is just built for you, then where's your true form or freedom of judgement? Not everyone is like us who gets to enjoy doing whatever we want. Hey, maybe not being an aristocrat or not having plots of land is part of the reason. *wink* But really, think about it, all of them who are here even including Joffrey who is just enjoying being a man with 12 pints of beer across 6 bars Jesus Christ haha, they have that freedom to live the life they want and that's why they came to London to study art. But Kit? Hey, his dad can't even bear him leaving the country so he just built him an arts school to study in. Jealous? Please don't. *sigh* You get the point. Which is why I feel like this is also such stark contrast to the fiancee Catherine who has never understood... well anything. Apart from giving people money and well thanks in advance for saving Lili-chan through her recent financial crisis lol. I mean, Catherine is definitely going to let her draw it and then ridicule or ruin it for her so she can make her pay but EH we are just getting ahead of ourselves now. *giggles* Oh, I'm TOTALLY ready for the b*tch fight down the line, it's just how it going to throw down. But see, if you're the only b*tch in the series, then it's not going to be much of a fight. *laughs* Ironically though, as see in the next episode (#PrismRondo08) it really feels like she is much convinced of the portrait drawn by her, even if its not the real her since she is like, frowning all the damn time and she expected someone to draw back the smile in her. In consequence, it really feels like (and I like that) that is how Sumipe- Excuse me, Catherine (lol) here is trying to stab you but the knife is only touching your abdomen and the knife is fake, those ones magicians use that can hide in its sheath. *giggles* Please, we are just at the beginning, the tea's just getting hot. *giggles* Just so you know, the source of evil doesn't come within her, it's all thanks to that servant Rebecca, who would, and mind you, help her throw her portrait out of the house into the nearby river just because she had comments about it and thought of like, hobbies or something. *laughs* And THEN proceeded to chase after it and THEN scold Kit when she saw him just because and changing the subject when we clearly are witnessing the death of an artwork, more importantly an artwork of herself, nonetheless. Yo Catherine, can we keep the arrogance a little bit lower? Yeah, just bring down the ego a bit? You can still blame Rebecca for all of this, you know. Just say she made you commission Lili to paint a portrait of you. *giggles* All in all... *salutes* Haha that's all I can do for now for Kit, to be frank. Solid drama though, absolute cinema. The worst has yet to come, so let's hope Kit will be able to salvage it somehow. Unlike that portrait, which might be drifting down the River of Thames right about now. *giggles* Ah, the river of emotions we are experiencing now- This is a good show so far I'll tell you that much. It takes some thinking haha well not really much they aren't really beating around the bush, but beating on the ego of these Englishmen and women they are, so let's see where this takes them. Make me mad though, I'd like to see Catherine like, tie Lili to the wall and burn the portrait in front of her- Does that make it a suicide or not? *laughs* So many questions haha, but yeah, seeing how the relationships have been laying out so far which does not include Kit being with Lili-chan... Hmm, I think we all have a good idea of what might happen next, and I can't wait. Well, I can, I have been watching 2 episodes at a time for the past month, I can wait for Catherine to wake the f**k up. *giggles*

P.S. "You're too naive, Lili. Aristocratic marriages are messier than you think." Yeah Dorothy is right, better tell Kit to deal with it before even touching you, Lili-chan. *dabs*

P.P.S. "Oh. you didn't know (Kit lives across the street)?" No, I don't. "You two seemed awfully close." No we aren't- YO THIS BITCH IS TRYING TO BAIT ME INTO ADMITTING SHIT AND I HATE IT *giggles*

Again, if you thought you are dealing with a daunting task right now, think of Kinme Wakana in this episode (#KiNiShite05) washing a parade's worth of outfits for the festival in 2 days, why don't ya? *dabs* If you knew what happened afterwards was tears of joy, then you have walked into the right store, I mean, show. So, let's talk about the success that is the festival and the float from the townspeople!! We did hit a dump after the rehearsal and all, finding out that the outfits which ironically haven't been checked in months or even earlier, turned out to be mouldy after a ceiling water leak which welp guess you guys aren't storing your clothing safely like Wakana-chan here is, is making her take the initiative to clean them up for the community. Which yeah, I suppose no one else can do it but her. Which also makes me rather jealous knowing that there's always something you can do that no one can, and that's why living in a city is so cringe compared to what (even if it's) fictional Atami can offer us right in this series. *smiles* Of course, they did complete it in time even if Wakana had to remove all the mouldy stains, Kuriru was here to help her manage the washing machine, Kyuushou was upstairs keeping the clean clothes safe, and uh... I guess Moruda was sleeping so yeah all in a day's work!! *laughs* Wakana is the MVP here though of course, and the outfits were delivered on time, and I assumed they did well in the competition and stuff, bringing honour and joy to the people even with a smaller population than ever before. *silence* Okay ignoring that haha this is too real and we aren't promoting that anyways lol, it's whatever happened after the event. Yeah Nairo-chan did look like she was exhausted from all this drumming she just burned all her energy in her youth haha, but more importantly, was how Wakana was convinced by Kyuushou to climb the... the... You know what I'm referring to. The float, would be a good way to call it for now. But yeah, considering why the youth are the ones up there because mind you Wakana is a very well-grown up woman (lol not as in well grown-up btw) and I don't think covering her face with a mask is going to help her be unidentifiable from the crowd below, but uh, also not just seeing her panties from below is basically a crime in Anime LMAO- But yeah, he didn't even bother to look at her so she won't slip and fall?? Well, that basically happened so that's on Kyuushou, honestly. But more interestingly, we are hinted a kiss through the mask?? *giggles* I mean, the mask is not like paper thin so I can't assume they did a French kiss but uh...!! *laughs* Don't ask if anyone's aroused or not, because CLEARLY the guy isn't. *laughs* So I wonder. *giggles* Thinking back on the episode especially on the eyecatch in the middle of them all though AY YO SWIMSUIT WAKANA?? *laughs* Okay come back haha all in all... I sometimes wonder what is work. *giggles* Okay no trauma dump I am also not in a trauma in real lift, but heck, if you literally showed me those two kissing? I must just flip my lid. *laughs* But they didn't, so we don't know for sure if they did it. *silence* Better keep mum about it from Moruda lest he ask. *laughs* It is still rather expected stuff even if it means the relationship between Kyuushou and Wakana is blooming, and we are hinted of Wakana's past once again by Kuriru who also saw Wakana's sleep on the floor and she literally did it 3 times this episode LMAO... I guess we are close to finding out what really happened back then. See you then.

P.S. "Of course! And how about a beer as thanks?" Oh no Ishimochi-san, Wakana better not be drinking after what happened to her with a (female) client last time. *giggles*

P.P.S. "With a mask on, nobody will know it's you. Should be no problem at all." Alright bro first up, you don't think her BANGING body will give it away?? *laughs* (Yeah, people will think it's Kyuushou's mom who is short or someone like a high schooler? LMAO)

Hey, let's just say being protected by the environment you are in is the best thing life can give to your childhood. *silence* You know how some of them are even bullied when they were a kid? Yeah, those were terrible in comparison. So Nishi-san in this new episode by the way (#Seihantai05) you do not have to worry, we only have weirdos and none of them are evil so you're in good hands. *giggles* I know from experience, thrust me- I mean, trust me. *laughs* I can't believe we are starting an actual introduction to the new girl haha normally they just jump in on the bang bus and not ask questions- But hey, it's not like Nishi here is black-haired and cute voice and quiet and everything. *dabs* She just needs to get my jokes and we can date, no joke. *dabs* (I'll look up who voiced her later thanks Anime) But looks like Yamada got into her in extension from knowing her friend Honda for a different reason, which would be interesting to talk about if not for talking about just both of them in the first place. I guess this counts as our first proper character focus episode? *giggles* You see, our new girl here Nishi, she has a low laughing point. Think Yuki-chan from "Demi-chan" series, yes? *hmm* Yeah, Nan-chan's better. Sorry, newbie voice actress! *laughs* Moving on haha I am so sorry why am I apologizing to the voice of apology Anime girl, and I like how the yeti has to come explain this instead of Yamada who only has vibes and not possess a single brain cell because remember how he almost failed his exams recently? *giggles* So yeah, seems like Yamada takes into concern people who wouldn't otherwise laugh at his not jokes- So me basically. *laughs* But unlike me and let's draw the line here and now, I am not a delinquent- *laughs* Nishi called him one, not me. *dabs* Anyways haha he's not, obviously and so is not Watanabe *chu* haha but heck, it looks like Yamada does have some brain cells in charge or remembering people who laugh at him... and proceeds to like them. And I also think Azuma and Suzuki might also be right, that if you are in the point of loving them, that you might as well be in it- So I can talk about how much of a heart breaker I am now or what...? *laughs* Yeah, breaking my own heart every single time, because who confesses their love for women? *sob* So again drawing the line, Yamada just asked for her contact in the most straightforward way though I would actually consider making a group chat for all of them and include Honda so she can help rope Nishi in, but I think Honda here might be dying of cringe already so I think we should not pressure her further. *laughs* Moving on, I guess we can talk about Tani and Suzuki meeting up at the library to study together only to realize they can't find a seat and Tani's mom did remind him no one is at home- DID THEY F**KING LITERALLY DESCRIBE WHAT I DID WITH THAT ONE GIRL IN UNIVERSITY THOUGH??!!! *laughs* So yeah not describing mine you can ask my bros for details they knew already haha *dabs* but long story short the differences are we didn't consider the library but the nearby community center though the outcome is the same, I live across the street from there so obviously- And that was when my dad was not a retiree and still working- Why am I explaining myself, did you even go watch the Anime instead?? *laughs* Also, I did not hug the girl nor die she put her face to mine just to say "pussy". *laughs* So yeah, not really the same, and I could not be more envious of Tani-kun. *laughs* All in all... WELL I MUST DIGRESS!!! *laughs* Boy, didn't expect them to narrate the 2nd half of this episode from my life- Don't worry, my mom didn't suspect anything. Nothing. The girl's already married now. *laughs* So, apart from talking about my f**ked up life, it's ironically- *laughs* It's VERY F**KING IRONICALLY a reflection of my life, from Nishi to Taira I can't even, so you can already imagine this Anime being just half of what I am, and that's a bad thing at 32?? *laughs* Trust me, it's better when I knew of this Anime 2 decades ago, but then again I wouldn't have been watching Anime back then I only started during my middle school days equivalent, so SUCK IT PAST ME YOU GOTTA LIVE WITH THIS DRAMA NOW- So thank you, Anime. If this holds up, dear author, I might just watch your current series next season too. *wink* It's not the same I know, but I get their drift, and I think Yamada taught me that's more than enough. Look at those losers watching "Oshi no Ko" after loving "Kaguya-sama" and whatever fuel is going on with Makoto Shinkai- *pukes*

[The soundtrack is BOPPING as I write this review ngl Tofubeats has some beats right there ever since I gave them a chance last year in a collaboration song, I would recommend this one which you can hear during the summer festival in the previous episode- Ok ok more of this episode below]

P.S. "I thought Tani-kun was like me, so it was such a shock." Yeah, same. *laughs* "Well, not talking much doesn't necessarily equal shyness." Yeah, true- "She says impolite things so naturally." Okay Hon-chan here don't rat me out I was shocked to find out Nishi was like me too *dabs* "...but if you can't stop thinking about him, aren't you jealous?" *silence* She's right. *laughs*

P.P.S. "In class, there are lots of different kinds of people." You are right, weirdos like me- Oh I mean Yamada. *laughs* "He was talking to delinquents with a fondly exasperated sort of attitude!" Alright, didn't know Nabe and Yamada are delinquents- Hey, not all people who are bad at studying are bad in personality, okay?? Just saying. *giggles*

[NISHI SPECIAL!!!! Hehe because I think I love her HOW DARE YOU THINK SO TOO YAMADA *laughs*]

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

Well, this was a struggle. *laughs*

No no, I meant the ones I have already rejected so sorry Hashimoto Eriko's new song, Anime just got me of you recently and your own songs can't really win that so... *giggles* But yeah, the whatever original web animation short I mention last week's independent production studio's music album from 2023? Yeah, that was alright. Melody fell short but I just took it in stride. *laughs* Nan-chan definitely did better though, almost gave that "Shadow Boxer" of a single again but heck, why put it as the first track again? It isn't even that good- I did give the new title song and another new track, so that's good, average review for her albums anyways. *shrugs*

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

Okay ClariS, FINLANDS, and Furui Riho aren't that great. *laughs* But I will give the latter 2 a chance on their albums respectively in April and March, so pre-release is a nothingburger according to me anyways. *giggles* TWEEDEES is total hype I don't even care what Ooki Reiji wants to make now I am also recently reminded of the vocalist's singing thanks to Anime "KiNiShite", and ironically Ten-chan is singing for Anime "KanoKari" which is an indicator that they can't find anyone to do this so wrap up already, Chizuru. *laughs* I did get more excited with more new releases even hearing Polkdot singing their own song written for Kana-chan I'm just glad second time's the charm hehe, but yeah, Naobou's one is just sad I suppose. I didn't hear what's the reason, but I'm sure her super long blog post will tell me everything... if I care to read it someday. Will update if it's because of marriage or health reasons. *laughs*

It's not quitting her voice actress job so I'm not actually that sad tbh, her music career has already went downhill ever since her first album in 2018. *giggles*

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

Considering Yui-chan is using Love Day to release the one new song to live in the Heisei Era while giving us only a cover song for the B-side, I'm not going to hold my breath on this one. *giggles* I did see prominent names like Jououbachi to King Gnu and even Chara + YUKI collaboration single releasing next week, but I won't promise I'll listen to any of them. Maybe when I'm in the mood then. I could go back to listen to my classics for once. *wink*

Oh, I guess I can give the Porno. *laughs*

Man, I'm just glad I get to do all of the above on my own free will even though it's scheduled every week. *giggles* Okay so, the plan from next weekend onward, serious talk here. I will kick off the long break with the new season of fanfics starting at Valentine's Day which will be a Saturday and yes I will write one per day across the Chinese New Year holidays too but it's all going to be about love, I won't suddenly write about the Year of the Horse or red packets. *laughs* The end of this special week will also signal the start of the package of the month which is here already it dropped by yesterday actually, my birthday present of XX number of thin books (did I mention the number before?) (lol) BUT it will sit there for at least a week until my birthday so uh, I will only open that up until then while I find a gift box to put it in *dabs* my most elaborate birthday present ever for myself tbh. *laughs* I will hopefully be done by the following Saturday along with the usual weekly schedule for fanfics and then we will continue on the usual schedule of blog posts in the weekend with the former series stretching into end March.

Phew, that was a lot, you got all that? *laughs* No, not gonna draw a timeline here just to show you guys this, though I should spend some time next week at work preparing for that on the blog so I can show stuff like this and fanfic round-ups and maybe Klassic Note down the line to give you a perspective on how all this is aligned and stuff. Sadly, just like many other things happening in my real life, there is much to do before I even remotely make it happen. *silence* Call it procrastination or whatever, this is my life, I f**k with myself and that's final. *laughs* See you guys next week then, and until then... I will try to stay sane at work. It's not easy when you have nothing to do when you have a week to wait for another week of go through another week before the holidays and work break. *wink*

P.S. Oh, if you can understand short web animation "LUCA" then at least I can tell you MusicRay'n cast is involved namely the most popular one and the least popular ones. *laughs* So Tomacchan as the mysterious being girl, and then Tachibana from 3rd gen- Excuse me, DayRe: also Koharu-chan too. *giggles* It's... dark, but good...? I want like, a full movie of this and then tell me the girl is possessed by a demon or something that I have to form a contract to undo whatever broken wish they think she wants fulfilled. *cringe*
