Wow I'm still so tired from this Sunday afternoon and yet I have to- Oh, I ordered a large cup of coffee in the morning but it was decaf. *laughs* Tastes great though, thanks for asking. *giggles*

Oh well, what the heck, if the keyboard has more f**king drive than me then I guess we are fine for now. *ugh* Haha about that I think I will just change to another keyboard I don't think solar is for me *wink* but anyways welcome back, we are very near the end of the season especially where I will wrap up "Prism Rondo" this week, probably will have a better ending compared to whatever "IDOLY PRIDE" video game's internal visual novel romance game's ending was, to be honest. Imagine never consulting with anyone else so your girl won't get any bit jealous? Can't be fictional me who just went on an amusement park date with a tenant living in my inherited mansion. *dabs*

So yeah, more talk about Anime and music and I wish some chick will come into my life to liberate me of this obligation (lol), but until the new season of shows appear... let's talk about the ones here!

Oh yeah, we have to deal with this black and white filter sh*t. *laughs* I really wonder if they made it so or they slapped a filter on it, to be honest. Because I can't wait for it to turn colourful in this final stretch of a romance series (#PrismRondo19) where I get to see Sakura-chan!!! *giggles* This is all I care now, who f**king gives a damn about Lili wanting Kit or whatever. *laughs* Anyways in case you haven't noticed the most obvious plot ever, let me fill you in. To be frank? I know what ending to expect, and I know what ending I want. AND I KNOW they won't give the ending everyone wants, but that doesn't mean it isn't what I expect, if that makes any sense to you. For example, finding Kit. Not like we need a misunderstanding to do this, but yeah, Shin did end up talking to Lili-chan about noticing Kit on the streets of their hometown Yokohama after they returned... only then to try to find him and notice that every other blondie out there looks like him from the back if he doesn't cut his hair for a couple of years. *giggles* Also there isn't colour so it isn't exactly obvious to notice at first glance- Oh, the colourless-ness is just on us? *laughs* But of course we bumped onto him, and he told an adventure of his diplomat duties more bizarre than his dad (RIP Henry) but among all the things and the stuff he drew on his handy sketchbook he brought with him all this time surviving the seas and tribal bullying... *giggles* He, uh, managed to find the cave of lilies. And, well, that was supposed to accompany with a statement to bring her there he even got the tickets which Lili's mom will absolutely NOT approve of. *laughs* And then, their marriage. And yes, I mean Shin to Lili. Well, I thought it would be vice versa until I realized that Lili upon seeing Shin's Italy invite to be a sculptor, that we shouldn't be surprised to tell himi to pursue his dreams as much as in return, Kit did tell her to continue painting. I mean, from here you should've noticed how much influence Christopher actually has not as a diplomat, but as a friend amongst friends, which actually brings us to the final episode (#PrismRondo20), for starters. Because last but not least, it's what we would ALL expect, the reuniting with Kit forever. Of course it also took its own time to happen and of course included a departure of Kit once again after the sudden trip down to Japan lol, and this is where the time lapse happened again. Upon the cancellation of the marriage and making her mom mad but also her dad was based in supporting both of them, and I like how they also make Lili-chan juggle the kimono boutique business like her life depended on it just so she can continue painting...? I mean, Professor Brant wouldn't have approved of it even if he hasn't aged one bit. *giggles* So yeah, as you can imagine and stuff, and they of course had to round it up with Kit describing what life Lili-chan has brought into his life, after all these years. Again, not like he wouldn't have done it before just so we can stop making the girl sad, but it's war dude. War makes people ditch their loved ones in order to bring forth peace, get lost in a boat, sneaked into an island for months and then hop on a boat and meet their lover again? This can only happen in Anime. *laughs* All in all... It's like, rather obvious they need to show the slump and then how much they needed to get over it, but dude, it's like, so weak? Lili-chan can just slap me 3 times and not leave a mark in my face. Mostly because it's already red from shame of looking at this lovely woman. *laughs* I know it's hard to explain this, but I think this is what it means to be the best at your hobby and trying not to sacrifice everything else. *giggles* Even with coding for my case and I'm ignoring AI meant to ruin my life lol, I think we can kind of get it when Lili mentioned about how just painting is what she knows best, and what she can express best, even if the world around her doesn't see her for who she is. And then I'm not going to explain the faded colours is because of that special someone thing again, they just made like, 4 episodes in black and white and I'm not happy about it already. *laughs* Also, joke conclusion? THIS is why we shouldn't allow women to pursue their dreams. *laughs* But yeah I think you get it, the idea of this isn't bad, but the story especially till its end is dragged out and rather predictable considering that they could've made it work WITHIN the English trip, but I guess this will work as well, with time, specifically to deal with the weirdness that is Christopher Church. Also, kudos to them for at least making the romance choices within the story straightforward, if this is like "KanoKari" we will have episodes dedicated to the thoughts of like, Kit towards Lili and another for the reverse. *laughs* Still, it's of course great to see everything in place in the end including the couple going to the cave with lilies including Joffrey and Dorothy and Peter and stuff gathering at his pub (lol) so that's cool though to see them all grown up. Yeah, this is a show about aspirations, not about romance, in case you have been baited so f**king hard to expect like, a marriage between those two or basically Dorothy's story but with Lili-chan. *laughs* Oh heck, it has been quite a ride though, and yeah, we need to summon the memories back just like how Lili did when she did her first painting in 5 years, I'm sure I can get skills like this back as long as I imagine. *dabs*And don't remind me how this sounds like feminism already existed a century ago, I didn't write this story. *giggles*

P.S. "Those nostalgic colours, the brushwork, that dress..." Yeah BUT I CAN'T SEE IT!! *laughs* "He just couldn't stop his art. After all, his art is everything to him." That's... probably true. *sob* "That's right, I really do... do love to paint." AW DAMMIT haha no it's not Kit sadly

P.P.S. "For me, to paint is to live. And it's also... to love." I KNEW IT LILI-CHAN WANTS THAT HUGE D*CK- *laughs* "Just by being there, a rainbow bathes extraordinary scenery in extraordinary hues. You're a rainbow, Lili." I'm stealing this I AM STEALING A RAINBOW LET IT BE KNOWN!!! *laughs*

Okay maybe I should just remove that quote. *laughs* I mean, I might not be able to remove stains as well as Kinme Wakana here in ths new episode (#KiNiShite11) but then again can I actually remove anything properly? I can remove bugs. In code. *laughs* Anyways haha, it's rare we don't start with Wakana from the top, so we are talking about Ishimochi family where the mom told her son to go visit the grandpa, and I'm like "why does she not have to go and why only the son" until I saw the flowers and uh, I don't think the bucket was necessary to understand this considering I've watched Japanese animation for this long. So yes, this week we are talking about cleaning... graves. *cringe* I mean, it's not really, everything here has already converted into cremation so not like I will need to clean a stone grave it's just wiping the front of the box that keeps the urn now somehow. *shrugs* So yeah, not much to think about this time around it's rather straightforward... until Kyushou met his love. *laughs* Hey, once again, linking back to ALL the ecchi events he has had with this kind onee-san so far? Bro is just adolescent, doesn't understand what it means to see cleavage and more recently, panties? Yeah, the silk ones with the frilly edges. *giggles* No, I've not seen them before, not even in my family. *cringe* But yeah, it somehow triggered whatever happened in Episode 1 of "AraOto" where who's that name... Kazusa-chan (wow how did I remember her name) who just ran away all because she saw her childhood friend jack off in his room- ANYWAYS haha this isn't that at all not even the closest, so I wonder why Kyushou is running away from her like he desperately wants to join the Track and Field club in school. *laughs* And then there's cleaning the one stuffed animal. I mean, if this is LITERALLY any other Anime then this would easily be cursed lmao, but thanks to Nairo-chan's curiosity (and her desperation to find more social media content to post for the next few weeks lol online influencers will understand this) they managed to open up a metal cover on the floor of the shop... to uncover an under floor storage. Welp. Sorry, Nairo-chan, I wish it had at least a couple of stone steps so you can fulfil your fantasy adventure. *laughs* But yeah, apart from cleaning it which is of course the whole theme of this series lol we don't need to ask for funding on this to be fair, but seeing that they aren't contactable, and the address that is stated (in Atami) is practically empty, looks like the only way for this brown dog plushie to find its owner will be through the Internet, I guess!! You think they will recognize it being this clean after so long?? *giggles* All in all... I'm starting to wonder if we can make Wakana wait for Kyushou to grow up so they can date. *laughs* WHAT, you haven't watched "KoiKimo" before?? Get to watching it then, I'll wait. *giggles* Dude, it's all their fault for sparking any amount of romance from what is supposed to be a slice-of-life series promoting the beautiful city of Atami?? *dabs* Also, I guess we did end with a somewhat cliffhanger to the final episode next week, and maybe, just maybe, everything I just said will link up together. *giggles* I mean, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES, RIGHT?? *laughs* Hey, if I got it right? Be sure to refer back here to prove that I said it first without looking at source material. *dabs* But if not, then I would like to know who. It has GOTTA be someone in the town, right? It's just a matter of who, and how did this all happen. Whether that will help us trigger any memories from our dear Wakana-chan then I'm not too sure. This isn't exactly a full-on adaptation compared to the FIFTH SEASON OF AN ANIME (lol) so who knows? Maybe Wakana-chan will remember her past after all. *wink*

P.S. "Don't you think we've taken enough of this kind of picture?" You would be surprised, Wakana, at how many photos were taken before selecting them to post on social media... every week. *giggles* "We need newer pictures of you working to keep appearing on the timeline!" What did I tell you? *laughs*

P.P.S. "Um, so what do you plan to do with the stuffed animal?" Firstly, we cut a hole in it. *giggles* "I think I'll take it back to the shop and take care of it for a while." I F**KING KNEW IT- Nairo-chan forget that this plushie exists. *laughs*

Yup, Nishi is hopeless romantic and Honda-san is bad on her, but don't worry about it, we're talking about the latest drama. SO!! In this new episode of the latest drama they are talking about haha ah yes the illusion of reality is here once again (#Seihantai11) we are back in Nishi and Yamada's school trip to Kyoto!! *laughs* (No really, I made that joke on social last week and someone got the joke hehe) Well, for starters, we missed meeting up with Yamada-kun even though Nishi did tip him on where their group was going and hoped to meet him to bang or whatever but didn't. Not even a bump. *laughs* And that's where I guess Honda-san is getting pissed (lol understandable) and kept on telling Nishi to not lie to herself and if she wants to (which she does), go just let Yamada do effectively whatever he wants to her. *giggles* That might sound weird, but I'm sure Yamada is also rather *looks at ending theme song title* "Pure" also so I don't think he will do anything weird to her besides giving her headaches. *laughs* Speaking of headaches lmao, we got carsick Tani-kun which is also me- I need to stop relating to all weaknesses in this Anime, it's making me rather unpopular already. *laughs* But instead of taking a break or taking a bottle of cola before a buffet in which Taira so kindly brought for him, only to see them like, I don't know, want to be alone for a little longer even though any sane man would just do it WITHOUT the carsickness? *giggles* Trust me, I can read your mind, especially if you are a dude. *silence* UHHHHH MOVING ON haha and apart from Taira actually enjoying the group class part of the school trip together which I guess if he isn't popular with girls he can at least be with deers lol, I'm pretty sure the free time of the school trip is what most people are looking forward to. Not as in Yamada and Nishi, sadly. *giggles* So well, let's say the second half is like if I were to go with Kanno Mai to an amusement park, likely a Sanrio one. *giggles* DUDE, we will wear the same headbands, buy the same popcorn bag together so that we can never go hungry (lol), and then take loads of pictures because seriously if you let me do that with MaiMai? I might as well go all the way. Tani-kun has a girlfriend he can be proud of though? So not going all the way is understandable. *laughs* Somehow if it's not obvious of a hint, that Tani-kun just wants to spend more alone time with Suzuki- I mean, Miyu-chan *giggles* but I don't think she will ever get that, but if you TRULY don't want to feel like you are just enjoying the couple time more than he does? Then the trip to the amusement park might not even be necessary after all, just saying. *wink* All in all... it's the best school trip I might have been in a while. In a romance Anime. Of a high school life. I don't think I need to be more precise on this, it's just the best I've seen EVER. *laughs* Also maybe because it's a little more fast-paced, Yamada's part would've already led to him banging Nishi at the toilet. *laughs* But we are getting somewhere, whether it's what, Taira? *giggles* Whether it's him, it's Yamada, Nishi maybe, and then Tani-kun specifically to Suzuki even though the girl is just holding back or just being herself... It's fun to see things happen just like how Azuma is just laughing there we are just her to be frank or maybe Honda-san, but heck, it's already ending this season, and I don't think we are going to get a sequel, so I'm interested how this will conclude. Oh, we are not going to get anything from Taira, I just saw the official social post an image of what is him with Kawasaki which is Azuma's friend fro middle school? Yeah, welp. *laughs* See, this is the type of tight, chaotic plots I would prefer to see in a romance comedy, and I think this series has delivered. Okay, maybe "shipped" is the better word to use, we are nearby shipping our second couple in this series I can't even. *giggles* Let's see if this actually happens then!! *thumbs up*

P.S. "I hate people who are evasive about their true feelings, you know?" That's Honda-san for ya! Oh by the way, can we date? *dabs* "These feelings of mine... I can't explain them away anymore." AY YO~!!! *giggles* Good. *laughs*

P.P.S. "For some reason, it's starting to look cuter and cuter to me..." Quite LITERALLY my opinion of Suzushiro Sayumi walking into the new year. *giggles* "So it wasn't cute to you before?" Yes. *laughs* (Haha yeah also asked by the voice of her)

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

Well I didn't give eill-san and RyokuShaka so... *laughs*

So honestly saying I only gave like, SPYAIR and KOTORI for the week after I've given ClariS and nano.RIPE from last week. *silence* I don't know man, new songs don't stick these days. *sigh* I would say that the SIX LOUNGE acoustic self cover album is great though, many of their classics or new songs sung in a (somewhat) acoustic rock style, kinda rad to be honest. That's all though, I don't even think I liked more songs in any other SPYAIR album till date, I had to recall whether I gave their new song from last month because apparently I didn't? *shrugs*

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

LMAO did they just censor the blood on GLIM SPANKY's music video?? *laughs*

But okay that was rather good, hopefully their full album holds up. *prays* Good to hear Ooishi Masayoshi again and I hope the opening theme song for Anime will be better than the trash I've heard from him from the past few... years lmao, and miwa just made me sad again thinking of my crush(es). *sob* Oh heck, might as well listen to my 3 crushes sing their debut song!! *dabs*

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

Oh yeah, I almost forgot Kyari-san's super flashy EP releases next week. *laughs*

Other than that, let's hope Ajikan's new EP in a new studio *looks at Sambomaster* will be good it has been a while since they got me and they did with the title song to be fair, and GLIM SPANKY... I miss their 2020 album. *laughs* Hey, can't be worse than this week!! *dabs*

Never did this cross my mind though, but uh, I feel like Anime subtitles these days aren't really teaching you Japanese as fansubs used to. No no, I don't mean sliding in definitions and context just like how they did for manga too (I know right) but I mean more like, they try to rephrase such that you won't get the parts that are of the dialogue that is going on on screen. And that's because I can understand Japanese. So what the f**k, dude? Capitalism got so bad we can't use the same words for subtitles in animation? Bruh. Anyways (lol), my phone wallpapers will be Yui-chan to end the winter season it seems, but I also just noticed I have bitten more than I can chew this might last for TWO weeks instead of one which is *blessed* hehe I also skipped some of the unglam ones so this is quite a lot tbh. *giggles* Anyways see you guys next week again I'm still enjoying my holidays at work lmao, but also also, the new package(s) haven't really consolidated quite yet so I guess the hype is until next month then! Hopefully, please, I like a mundane life but not outside of work. *laughs*

Maybe I should've taken Friday off to join Japan in their public holiday long weekend. *giggles*
