I like how I referred to our birthday girl today (at least, not in the birthday countdown livestream yesterday night) as "nice body" to my bro haha but just like Isobe Karin, we know she's just nice to show them off. That's the point. *giggles*

But I did promise to talk about the countdown livestream yesterday where you are free to give her money (which I did, though you can't see it unless you're there live) and I like how I worried about her reading my username but she didn't lol, still didn't know what to say apart from "please release another photobook or album" knowing that she is likely never doing the former ever again. *silence* Come on, another Shupure appearance would be nice. *giggles*

And I forgot to charge my solar-powered keyboard under sunlight so I AM F**KED LET'S GO haha maybe I just buy a rechargeable or battery-powered one next time. My phone torch is blinding me as I type. *laughs* (Edit: I'm switching back to my old keyboard haha) Oh, let's go as in Anime and music, we can talk about those lol

Welcome to the masterclass of witnessing Ichijou Lili failing to get her love, but to be fair to her? The guy doesn't care so what are we do to? *shrugs* In this sad, sad new episode where maybe just going home will save her tbh (#PrismRondo17) we screw it up again, and there's no going back. But literally only Shinnosuke even from the start did care about her till the end of the England journey unlike those three sisters in class lol, so yeah, I'm not going to side with the dude, it's International Women's Month. *dabs* You know who I'm referring to. At least the sisters here did say their proper goodbyes even though it means slapping her with the blue paint that almost caused her her grades. *laughs* Yes, I was about to say all this don't matter now since they got the notice from the government who sponsored them to be in England in the first place, but we are jumping the gun here, so relax. *giggles* And also, I like how Catherine (at the least) thinks that Lili can still salvage all this by just uh, chasing to the boat he was about to leave in that very night way before she could leave for Japan, and... and then what?? We did also just dunk on him earlier, so not like she knows what to do now, to be honest. And then to add on, she did just walk up to him (or well, the furthest she can) and then just... not say stuff. Well, not say the main stuff. And then we just see the friends say the friend stuff to Kit and Lili... well, what promise? *cringe* So I would assume this is precedence to somewhere down the line we have to do this part again hopefully with more confidence and maybe Kit giving more of a sh- AND TIME LAPSE!! *laughs* So yeah, 5 years has passed in the next episode (#PrismRondo18) and boy, is it like, double colourless in Japan somehow. *giggles* (That's a Pokemon Trading Card joke) Yeah, super monochrome now we fired all our colouring artists (lol), and a lot of things happened within this time. Of course Catherine is doing so well I don't want to date her no more LMAO it's the short hair dude, Kit seemed to be missing after some time out doing his diplomat stuff which made Lili-chan real sad of course her parents won't get it, and of all things... Lili-chan decided to marry Shinnosuke. NOOOO- Wait, does that mean Sakura-chan can talk now?? *gasp* Haha I know right Akarin is literally all I care about in this series apparently. Her voice came back as she recovered from what was the loss of her mom it looks like, which hell yeah that's literally why we time travelled in the first place. *dabs* But yeah, as we see Lili prepare to be a mother and dealing with the boutique, and Shin giving up on his trip to Italy just because... I mean, it's a good example of society once used to bind us down even though we could be better equipped to do other stuff- Just don't bring up Peter. *laughs* But then again we can't even keep the world at peace for the most part a century ago so maybe now- No, wait. *laughs* (Don't trigger me on world politics now I don't want to hear it) And THEN Sakura went like you just go Italy to see the sculpture with... whoever that face was lol, and just ditch your fiance- What the f**k, dude? I'm disowning this sister-in-law. *laughs* I guess the biggest hope the ending of this was to give us some hope, some small glimpse of hope, that some Englishmen stepped foot on this Japanese soil... To just sell of a painting of what looked like Lili and lilies? No way, probably some dude with white hair- WE CAN'T EVEN SEE THE HAIR COLOUR, DUDE!! *laughs* All in all... this is still all Kit's fault. AGAIN?? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??!!! *laughs* No really, from the sudden leaving again which is not the same as the previous ones because back then he will come back somehow in some way or at least is reachable, but this time around... Well, I don't think so. Not even the plot twist here can save it now. *giggles* But I also think I understand why this didn't get a better rating than I thought. They kinda like, forced the feelings on you somehow. I get the flow, but it's just not enough to like, say you love him after you just dunked on him or whatever, so weird. And then the time lapse. It's all the memories, the burdens, the reasons to move forward... I think the series did portray Lili and Shinnosuke in this light more than ever even though we just lost all the colour in the damn budget apparently. *laughs* I won't say the storytelling isn't great, just that uh, if they want this to convey, then it needs a longer stretch, and I don't think they can do that, sadly. *shrugs*Anyways, we are working towards the conclusion here and I think you have a better idea of the ending than I do I forget things more than these two apparently haha and I mean Lili and Shin, so yeah, let's see if we can get this back together once again. Not the romance, that was as hidden as Lili's painting of lilies in the museum but without the sunlight and we all lived underground. *cringe*

[I gotta say though? That Lili went through this much and still didn't bother to be straightforward and confess to that dork? Maybe she don't love him enough. *dabs* Just saying dude, she just went for Shin anyways. *giggles*]

P.S. "Life is a play whose curtain never falls. Though the stage may change, we must continue to play our parts." Yeah we should continue to be pawns of society and succumb to the lack of financial power manipulated by corporations? *laughs* "It's awfully heartless. Was that all our friendship was worth?" Yes. *laughs*

P.P.S. "It's my mother. She insists her daughter's bridal kimono has to be a colourful one." Yeah okay BUT WE CAN'T SEE COLOUR THOUGH (lol)

Please, Yagara-san, take off your clothes at MY place. I'll take your spare clothing too if you don't mind. *dabs* In this new episode where she had to remind me about September when we are still in March and I already want to- (#KiNiShite10) also Yagara is like, a teacher in a middle school specifically the homeroom teacher for Nairo-chan, so you can imagine. *laughs* I wonder who is teaching who the bad things LMAO PLEASE keep it to yourself, sensei. Yagara...sensei? *cringe* Anyways haha this is a story to talk about and get the construction workers horny. *giggles* It is a change from when they to deal with old hag landlady Aji-san, so it's quite a transition even though I wonder what's their problem we LITERALLY have Wakana over here. *dabs* But yeah, treating stains again, and it's her biggest challenge yet. Yes, over squid ink, because whoever decided to use the ink to do calligraphy needs to be banished into hell. *laughs* Wakana didn't exactly fix it, and no, the animators DID remember to draw back the stain on the skirt as she returned it back, but Yagara is right to not be able to see anything anyways, and not like this is her family heirloom, so don't worry about it, girl. Also she is not taking payment for this. We can just slip in some snacks later. *wink* Moving on haha no really I can stare at Yagara-san's body all day but I'm not going to bang a teacher LMAO, we are visiting Uka-san's place. Ironic how she said someone must be at home and she went all out to fetch Wakana in the car (lol), but heck, I guess her two dogs from when we saw it in the eyecatch counts. Two of them can replace a human. *laughs* Yeah, those that need to be locked up in the living room even though they have been with her since she was a kid and when they were kids? Yeah, adorable, but I am sure the author can't help but make the sofa and carpet full of their fur- No, wait. *laughs* I AM SURE the author can't help but make sure Wakana gets some of the fur up her- Wait. *laughs* After a low effort lunch from Uka-san which isn't surprising I should really try making those rice cooker meals myself too if you have seen them on Instagram those were impressive even making fried rice using a pack of cup noodles, and with the latch unlocked on the door to the yard which I would imagine the dogs managed to push it up to leave the room, and then... I don't know how to describe this but is this a new genre of porno I wasn't familiar with? *giggles* I know right, AV producers don't have the damn balls to use pets to make these. *laughs* Thank goodness we have this Anime. *dabs* All in all... I cannot believe I'm enjoying some Touno Hikaru ASMR right here even though I don't think this counts. *giggles* No really, I'm feeling it, someday I will buy her photobook. *laughs* But if you don't mind the much slower-paced storytelling, and then the author just slipping in some ecchi here and there, I'm sure you will enjoy this even if the car looks kinda squashed and Aji-san is just being a cynical old lady. *laughs* Please, this is the nicest I can make it, I'm already blessed by 2x Suzushiro Sayumi this season already. *blessed*

P.S. "Well, I know it's not actually your fault. That said, I'm still gonna have to add the repair cost to your rent." WHAT THE F**K- "Just kidding." YOU OLD HAG I WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN- (lol)

P.P.S. "I always tended to be withdrawn at school, and kind of a homebody, so I'm a little surprised at myself for being able to pull this off." Hey Uka-san can you stop describing the one time I brought a woman into my place during my university days? *cringe* "We aren't strangers anymore. We are definitely friends." LETS F**KING GOOOOO (Oh, as in Wakana with Uka-san lol I'm sad now)

Hey, the school trip is more important, we can kiss more often there when we have the time. *laughs* AY YO in this new episode where it looks like we might conclude with this story arc (#Seihantai10), I sure hope the main couple won't be alone so they can be up to some hanky-panky though- Remember, Tani-kun, someone taught your girl to behave like this. *dabs* OH BOY we should stop reminding him of such stuff, he's already super aware of it to be concerned about even talking about this to his girl right now. *giggles* So, there's a lot to cover, and they did speed-run this as if I was as translucent as Honda-san all this time LMAO, so let's. In case you have no idea of a high school school trip, let's cover the basics if you didn't watch this. *giggles* For starters, we pick our groups. Well, normally the student body picks their groups, but if you are a loner and/or your class doesn't give a damn? Then we might as well go with lottery or else you'll be as miserable organizing this as Azuma's friend in first year Kawasaki. I don't know at this point I should remind Azuma, that she is useful or just having friends mainly because she looks cool. I don't get ANY friends, and that's even when I'm at my prime. *sob* And then also because you have a rather dependable childhood friend Taira, who probably just did it out of habit thanks to probably your parents pressuring him or whatever. *laughs* Still, coming back to the school trip planning, it's normally better to put yourself into groups instead of let the teacher decide it for you, is my experience. And that's assuming if you don't go along with anyone. Or you have friend groups lower than the allocated count. Then just pretend it overflowed and don't make Azuma hang out with some other chick we don't know in class. Yeah, like those 2 who just wanted to know why on Earth would Suzuki hang out with Tani-kun of all people. BRUH, mind your own business. *laughs* And then there's the preparation of documents on where to go for the most part, before the free time planning that the groups can THEN decide for themselves. To that, I'm surprised Yamada was smart enough to go to the other class to make Honda-san relieved that she doesn't have to vent her solo anger on that useless class chairperson buddy of hers (And a dude too? Yo, can we cancel that guy, please?) but also cringe because she has to deal with not talking and see literal flowers bloom in front of her? Oh, I mean, the relationship between Yamada and Nishi that we STILL can't really refer to as friends. *laughs* Hey Honda-san, thanks for the work, we all appreciate it what you have done for your dear friend who is secretly crying out for help. *giggles* And then yeah you can figure out the final part which is planning for free time, because we have a literal traitor here who reported all their group's plans so that the other can trace them around and maybe chat or take photos together or make out in the back alley and sh- Oh, Nishi was the traitor. *laughs* All in all... OH BOY haha if this will be the final arc to end on, and we are just at the beginning. *giggles* Yeah, from Yamada planning their trip around Nishi, to Azuma wanting something on her side somehow, and Suzuki just wanting to make out with Tani-kun as one of her objectives of this trip... *laughs* So yeah, as you can imagine, we are going to explode like normies like we have never done it before, so let's see where this goes. In comparison, I saw the trailer for their next work which also got green lit an adaptation, and uh it's like "Silent Witch" but worse and featuring not Azuma so no. *laughs* MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY THIS WHILE IT LASTS!! *giggles*

P.S. "Worrying about stuff like status and feelings versus it not affecting anything if you mess up, the comfort level is different." *silence* He's right. I can't, though. *giggles* "Taira, it's as if I totally look down on you!" Hey Azuma for a change, look down on me. *dabs*

P.P.S. "I'm pretty sure I'm happy, but I still want this time to go faster!" Yo Nishi what do you mean like pretty sure, you are enjoying this already, we know that. *giggles* "I mean, if I had to say, I'm more the nobody really cares woman." Swap woman with man and you'll be referring to me. *sob*

[This might be a good time to bring up ALL the girls in the series besides Satou I think and I'm keeping Watanabe to myself *dabs*]

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

Oh yes, the jam is the last one, what a surprise. *laughs*

Well, not like the Anime "KiNiShite" theme songs are going to get me other than the title songs so I did even for the opening theme song yeah why not, but what was surprising was me giving chance to Suganuma Chisa-chan's recommendation on social, and damn, this song is a vibe. Simple enough to hook me, and I think that easily surpassed the others that I brainwashed myself into this the rest of the week. *dabs*

Thanks, Chisa-chan, sometimes you give me good songs. *blessed* And I passed it on to Marinka-chan when she talked about music in her fanclub earlier today, saying she was influenced by what was popular. *silence* Okay, is Takeuchi Anna popular? I'm not sure. *laughs*

Also nope, didn't listen to those rock festival videos. *laughs*

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

Ah okay, I would assume the birthday song from nano.RIPE was a surprise revealed in their recent live, but isn't on social but released on music streaming services? Okay, I hear you. Also, it's like a minute long only which is WAY longer than those awkward moments you have to sing the OG one in birthday parties so I'll take it. *laughs*

I would LOVE to share Mocho's new single cover and/or her new artist image but I don't think anyone is into music cares so I'll leave that here lol, but otherwise it really feels like there is WAY TOO MANY live audio releases that I won't even bother to listen at work to give some chance like what I did earlier this month so uh, sorry? *giggles* I mean, unless you guys don't mind me just hearing it in one ear and letting it out from the other, I feel like if I want to give it chance I will sit down and listen to them more attentively. Like, when I'm on the go.

Also I DO NOT CARE about Ikimonogakari's 2nd cover album OR their collaboration live this weekend, I'm over them already, if you remember. *laughs*

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

Well this might be the highlight of the month to be frank (okay next week seems important too but) as eill-san is here just because I haven't been giving them chance so far, RyokuShaka is here just because, and SPYAIR is here just because- No no, this one is because this will be vocalist YOSUKE's first ever album in the band, that I might be keen on just hearing the previews, standard J-Rock style from their band composers so this will be something to look forward too.

God, if you are up there, just let me bang a Moeshi in real life. *laughs* Yeah, like the only way she doesn't have to pay rent is to come 30 times every month? *silence* Uh oh I know I'm going to get cancelled in International Women's Month, but I didn't say once a day, if you can do it 30 times at once then you are free, even skipping days with your period. *dabs* Oh yeah, read up the fanfic out yesterday which has nothing to do with this, by the way. *giggles*

I uh, also should spend more time apart from planning for fanfics which I am for the one 2 seasons later lol Anime "TanMoshi" was delayed for another season starting in October and they wished they could get their long-awaited sequel(?) running on time (lol) and I probably need to start updating my music library but also scan the stack of bromide photos I got earlier this week. *giggles* See you guys next week then work is never going to give us any time to do anything else, but seeing that I did have time to refactor this blog for some time now... I should work on Klassic Note Web next. *laughs* Yeah you can leave now lol
