Oh yeah, I need an intro here. *laughs*

Hey welcome back though I think I have done that since yesterday which was the start of the week-long break, and DAMMIT do I have to wait for this week and then public holiday obligations to be over before I can start talking about what great things I have prepared for my birthday, see Bluesky post that no one will understand. *giggles* Yes, life sucks when "the new year" is more important than this, huh. Well, at least it's going to pay back how much I've spent on this gift to myself. *dabs*

I also did hit the peak of this season's of fanfics this morning already though so thanks Mocho *giggles* so yeah stay tuned while I still do this during the holidays don't worry I will remember to do so, and then... we'll take it from there somehow. *laughs*

But first, Anime and music! More of the latter because there won't be much next week tbh lol

You know it's technically a rental, right? You just own it for the duration of being IN the family? *laughs* Also, TWELVE YEARS AGO??!! I was what, 10 since I might as well count my birthday which is next week? *sob* Yeah, ain't no girl betrothed to me. Oh spelling mistake, I mean "bothered", as in no one cared. *laughs* In this new couple of episodes where no new couples are formed lol don't ask why (#PrismRondo09), we did get the weirdest conclusion from what we saw last week and literally Catherine confronting Kit about whether he likes the Japanese girl. Not surprising the answer was "maybe" lol what a loser- But considering art has always been his life, this is quite a record. This also just means Kit is into Japanese women like I do *dabs* though I would wonder how will he react if he saw Sakura-chan, for starters. Yeah, Shin's sister. *giggles* We aren't there yet fortunately remember art is the focus in this series, but we are at the point that Catherine is concerned about what she saw of her fiancee. Like, does all this behaviour of just storming into Lili's place and asking if the girl likes Kit count as tsundere for Catherine? Asking for a friend which is me. *laughs* Because if not, it's also rather surprising she doesn't really mind... All because she also doesn't know what she wants. Hey, if the flashback isn't obvious enough, she didn't get to choose who she has to devote the rest of her life with. Heck, being married to Richard ie. Christopher's brother might be better, to be honest. *laughs* Also Kit didn't exactly encourage her unlike Lili-chan who gave Catherine a perspective, so it your fault, bro. Yes, I mean whatever happened at the pub after Shin got first place in the school and his art already has a buyer as they are celebrating his win. But yeah, whatever happened at the pub was inevitable just as putting Peter as the mood killer was also the same way it was a long time coming, because remember that Kit didn't even learn art from anyone... or maybe from the mother who knows, but his dad was a diplomat and the brother doesn't even want him to do art, so it's not just talent, bro. Also yeah as he said, he hates his art, which is why he's on the brush every time we see him. I guess that's what they are trying to portray, the aristocrat thing being an excuse for us thinking he's better even though he thinks he isn't? Hey, not like you asked your famous painter near you this question- Oh, they are earning millions selling art to rich people, forget what I said. *laughs* I will talk about this again maybe when I deal with the doujinshi next week, but you get the idea. They had to make this go sour, and sour it did in the next episode (#PrismRondo10) where in the end Peter and Kit did not even show up for lessons for more than a week, which isn't really concerning for the latter but for the guy from India? I like how no one is dunking on you for not attending lessons for your sh*t a** artwork- Oh, is that the problem, this baby needs a fierce parent to tell them they only got 6 months before taking over the family business? *dabs* Please, Lili-chan will stay here longer than Peter will. *laughs* But Shin after the incident was right, we only have the one life, and some are just sitting here being envious and not even trying and by the latter I meant Joffrey LMAO GOTTEM, but still, if it breaks your heart then the only thing is to keep trying. Catherine did at the least, even inviting her newly found commissioned friend artist (haha) into her mansion to visit and paint and try out her old dresses- Wait, what was that last part? *giggles* I'm just glad Lili-chan did bring a kimono to pay for ALL the dresses Catherine intend for her to bring back- Seriously? *laughs* All in all... yeah, you only live once, and we all live life like we are going to live a second one. *shrugs* So yeah, let's get married right away, Sumipe. We have no time to waste even if I'm sad af from my only job and talent while you are in Japan trying to be an idol at 34 and not even announcing your marriage while Nagaku Yuki announced a marriage AND first child a few days ago. *laughs* Yeah you get the joke, but hey, which is more likely to happen, this or Kit marrying Catherine? *dabs* We shall see if the former gets realized- Excuse me, We shall see if the latter gets realized in due time even though we know the answer, and maybe, just maybe, Catherine won't be so jealous about obtaining the Silver Lily. Hey Catherine here's a pro tip maybe you aren't quite there yet as a fashion designer: Make your own, even better, Silver Lily. *wink* Oh she wasn't at the pub while her fiancee gets slapped? Understandable. *giggles* AND WE HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE hehe

P.S. "How many minutes do you expect me to wait in this tiny, stench-filled room?" Anyone told Catherine that Lili and Kit have been banging in here- Wait, no, not yet. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Kit really does seem to have everything. A privileged family, natural talent, and a free spirit unburdened by others' opinions." Now that I think of it, I'm Kit too- Yeah blah blah just without the looks and rich dad haha- But if privilege means not having to live paycheck to paycheck, ask someone who needs to. *taps brain*

HAHA I F**KING KNEW IT THIS IS SO FANSERVICE BAIT I CAN'T EVEN- *laughs* In this new episode where it is summer but people aren't half naked yet LMAO (#KiNiShite06) but I guess Wakana here is so I think that counts. *laughs* It's not much, but it's honest work if work means watching half the series' episodes. *giggles* Still, summer isn't too bad in this series especially when it starting around the time Japan is snowing lol, but we haven't addressed the elephant in the room yet. From what happened at the festival when Wakana fell on top of a customer's kid or something as mentioned by Asami. *laughs* Should've pulled up the mask, Kyuushou. Maybe he doesn't know, he's not Hollow Ichigo after all. Who would've expected an indirect kiss- Hey, we don't know for sure, don't draw conclusions just yet. *wink* But it's likely it didn't happen, the mask is like, thicker than whatever we use at variety shows today after all. *laughs* I get whatever is with the boi it is adolescence anyways he'll get over it once he realized how dumb it is and why isn't his sausage in her yet- Maybe they did in the past and she forgot? *laughs* Okay okay dirty jokes aside, and really how is Wakana-chan so concerned about this I can't even, yeah more than an assignment she has never done before and could refuse? What is this, corporations having ethics? *dabs* Anyways haha if this Wakana can't do it maybe the one from "KiseKoi" could- I need to stop with the references. *giggles* Still, she felt like it was instinct which says a lot about her as a professional cleaner but also, jogging up muscle memory when she did it in the past she can't remember...? I always think someday in some future episode, she will like, snap out of it and remember everything, and unless she got a letter to open up this laundromat again, I wonder how she hasn't remembered more than what she needs to so far. *shrugs* Anyways haha but hey, just take a bath naked and forget about it- WHY DOES THIS ANIME HAVE SO MANY OF THIS LIKE WAKANA-CHAN LOVES IT??!! *laughs* No really, this is getting annoying and I love it. *giggles* All in all... I did manage to *fap* to Kinme Wakana this episode so I think it's a 5 out of 5. *laughs* Yeah, a full-on beach episode was not necessary. *laughs* Still, it makes you feel things but not really make you think, and that's what slice-of-life is about anyways, so I'm not going to think too deep about it. Even the fireworks are proportionally larger at the end so you tell me. *giggles* OH SHIT WAKANA IS GOING TO STRIP NEXT EPISODE??!! *laughs* I mean, she did, we just didn't get to see it. Yet. *dabs* (Dude, it's not gonna happen that's the joke this is not some other Anime that has an uncensored version-)

P.S. "Oh, that's right. Students go on summer breaks starting tomorrow. I'm so jealous!" YES I AM JEALOUS TOO ADULT LIFE SUCKS I MISS WHEN I CAN TAKE MONTHS OF BREAK- "Well, actually, I get stuck helping out at home because the inn gets so busy." Welp. *laughs* Also the average customer age is like, above 67? *dabs*

Seriously, not beach episode? BOO WORST ANIME OF THE YEAR- *laughs* In this new episode where the school festival is our hopes of redemption now that we know everyone (#Seihantai06) because we know even Suzuki's ex, don't tell me you don't know of them. *dabs* Please, I watched the episode first, of course I will know, how do you think this works? *dabs* Also, who the f**k is Gapacho, the town surveillance system?? Do they know Suzuki went to Tani-kun's place after going to the library? *laughs* More questions coming right up in the school festival which DAMN did it feel like they skipped a whole lot, so let's talk about what's left to say about it. *laughs* Firstly, what the class is doing for the festival. Sadly no play unlike whatever "Ao no Hako" did so we can actually have a kiss scene between Suzuki and Tani-kun but I guess that's illegal in Anime now LMAO, so I guess we're making crepes like every romance slice-of-life out there- We're not also? WHAT IS THIS ANIME *laughs* Okay I'm also speeding this up so don't mind me just glancing at Nishi and Honda-san at the store thinking who is cuter. *silence* Yes Yamada, I will take Honda-san from Nishi so you can focus on the other. *dabs* But instead, Taira thought he was too handsome to be of gossip and ran and he would be right they were talking about Tani-kun anyways who gives a shit about you you loser *laughs* while I'm also sad from all of this because yeah, I had those days too. *sob* Sadly, nothing came of it unlike any of these guys. *laughs* Please, I wasn't the one who sat in a classroom with nothing but photos just so people can peek in from time to time if they even cared- *laughs* I'm sorry Nishi, I would assume if Yamada appeared that means you guys got to hang out together alone in that classroom I can't even. *giggles* Wait, you guys didn't? Not even for 5 minutes? YAMADA WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU SERIOUS- Okay, we can talk about the ex now. *laughs* Of course, the highlight of having the public visit on Day 2 just so they can skip over Day 1 (lol) is to introduce the middle school friend Rihito to everyone else in their class. No really, Rihito is just a friend. Formed by middle school class pressure to date Suzuki, of all people. *laughs* And it's not even funny- Okay I should stop dunking on them I'm just doing this for Tani-kun to feel better. *giggles* But Tani didn't, and instead thought he was like, super j-j-j-jealous about Suzuki's past with some dude being more handsome than him. Suzuki also just said she slept with 100 people so she's already more experienced than Aijou Rentarou from the "Hyakkano" series, to be real hones with ya. *laughs* Oh, the chick from "KimiZero" which I ended up dropping would be a better joke? Follow my Bluesky account for more premium jokes like this one. *giggles* All in all... this might be the first episode we skipped way TOO much content to NOT be noticeable. *laughs* I mean, it is noticeable from the start, but I feel like watching this episode specifically is like watching those microdrama apps out there: Fast, touching, but it comes as fast as it goes. And that kinda sucks. Like, I'm sure there's SO MUCH LORE especially on the school festival they can cover but of course they had to focus on Tani and Suzuki especially of the latter's past, but even like, on the stories of others from Rihito to Yamada and the others like- Seriously Azuma, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?? *laughs* I know right, we got another season for this girl to talk about her past?? *laughs* That kind of problem. And I feel bad for this series. Maybe it's because it only deserves this much of adaptation, maybe it's because they had to cram all of this into one episode... Yeah, I feel as bad as Tani-kun now having know of this reality. *sob* Oh heck, might as well enjoy it while it lasts!! No really, 0/10 in reviews if no Azuma and Taira going steady, I'll say it here first. *laughs*

P.S. "What's this? A library date? That's so pure." It was not pure at all the grandmother saw us- *laughs* (Yeah Gapacho saw us) "I want to be in love." Yo same- Hey Azuma, I think we have something in common. *dabs*

P.P.S. "It used to be that all we'd do was laugh. Now that we're dating, it isn't fun at all." I assume many couples have this problem? Like how you marry your best friend? Yeah, it's just not the same- THE RESPONSIBILITIES, DUDE!! *laughs* Hey, tell ya what, that makes of a great couple. *wink*

[MORE FESTIVAL SHOTS BECAUSE ALL OF THESE COULD'VE BEEN ITS OWN STORY!!! *shrugs*]

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

Wait, the voice actress voicing Marin-chan in "KiseKoi"?? Yup. *giggles*

I'm glad to be able to talk about her solo music career ever since she started last year, and ironically it wasn't her first Anime tie-in on the A-side that got me, and I think you'll get it if you listen to the B-side... hopefully without watching the music video first. *laughs* But otherwise, eufonius is one of those "how are they doing" trips which I found the one song to be somewhat interesting... kind of moods again lol, Yui-chan is meh on the B-side which was a cover song, I didn't care about SPYAIR sadly, and Porno Graffitti... Eh, the new songs didn't really get me and blame that on melody- Even the one I gave which was the Anime tie-in and had a really good music video with the swordsman sensei discipline vs bad guy hired assassin, still was like, real weak after the intro instrumentals into the first verse which *shrugs* I don't know I might need a break from music. *laughs*

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

EPs with 10 songs already, huh. WHAT YEAR AM I IN NOW- *laughs* Looking at you, Ushio Reira.

Also, we are not releasing new songs but self cover acoustic albums, huh. Physical release too, SIX LOUNGE? *pukes* I know right, they don't even bother to make an acoustic branch anymore. *giggles* And how is nano.RIPE doing better than... heck, ALL the songs mentioned here?? *shrugs* Okay maybe not Suguta Hina, that one's my new fav for now. *giggles*

Hey, if things are going to change around here in Klassic Note more than often, I don't mind. It's "searching for the new melody" after all, it's whatever is better, always. *dabs* Just don't look at this week's reviews. *laughs*

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

I've not heard of the B-side yet, but Polkadot Stingray second time coming writing for you again even though their first wasn't a thing for me lol, but hey Kana-chan, I have high hopes you will be the first Review of the year, fingers crossed. *giggles* Otherwise, I could take a break from music considering what we have this week. *laughs* Or I'll watch the rock festivals I've kept for months already at this point. Yeah, from last year. *laughs*

Ok ok let's put this into a vote: Picnic with Inorin, be in a fantasy Alice in Wonderland world with Rieri, or Ogura Yui just being sad there are no raffle numbers announced that ended with 3 in her release livestream?

They are mutually exclusive, is the joke, you can't replace one with another. *dabs* PM me on social if you need to understand Yui-chan's disappointment from yesterday. *laughs* And to conclude Love Day and I have been talking about Japanese voice actress all weekend lol, let's talk about who won with respect to the doujin artists!! Alright first, you have to have an account on Bluesky. *laughs* Just joking.

Eh let me find them first Twitter/X is a f**king mess I can't even... Not including Watame-chan first Fuumi-sensei is cheating anyways with the VTuber draws haha, I'll take whatever Yugaa-sensei is serving up *giggles* just because it's honmei hehe, Muninshiki-sensei we need to stop putting stuff on girls' crotches LMAO, Mashiro Ruka-sensei is going to get me banned haha I'm sure you can't see the embed here anyways, Mauve-sensei why are we keeping chocolate puffs in clothing HAHA ah hey, and I think Mochitsuki Usa-sensei wins. *blessed* I mean, there's more where Aroa-sensei's was giri so LAME even MaiMai's chocolate was honmei hehe I wish I was at the event to get it, and Hamunezuko-sensei's was re-posted so many times I'm convinced it's good now even if it doesn't have a background. *laughs* I definitely missed some of them like Kantoku-sensei so DO NOT FIND OUT WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, PLEASE!!! *laughs*

Also, according to Sakura Yuki-sensei "after today's over, the next day's just Sunday" haha I agree I shouldn't have went to have breakfast with my sis yesterday ngl- *cringe*
