Happy New Year 2013!

This is for my friend Renciel who loves Heisuke from Hakuouki! It was originally planned to be a bookmark but I don't think it's possible now because I got my dimensions wrong orz... DX
But I'm also dedicating this to all Heisuke lovers out there! (^^)

Now on to my New Year's message!

As I'm writing now, 2012 will be over in approximately 3hrs in my region (GMT+8). This whole year was a totally baffling and thrilling experience for me. I've never been this stressed in my entire life! As I look back, I think this year has been rather fair for me. I made new friends both in real life and on Tumblr, and these people have changed me in so many ways. And they have become one of the most important people in my life. I'm glad to have met them! I've turned a year older, but my childish attitude still remains /and I regret nothing/ XD

To everyone who has supported me all this while, I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you! *hugs* And also, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone in any way possible m(_ _)m

And with regards to this blog, I have managed to successfully keep it and not giving up halfway (as I've done with so many others before it orz). I hope everyone will have a better 2013, and I hope you'll be with me!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
新年あけましておめでとうございます!!!
해피 뉴 이어!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!! (^^)/

Hi everyone! It's officially the eve of Christmas over here in my region (GMT+8). I'm sure there are loads of people out there who are doing their last-minute Christmas shopping this very minute! I just did mine last afternoon, and boy was it stressful. However it was a very fun experience, hunting gifts for my friends! 
Now, even if you don't celebrate Christmas (like me), do make use of that day to catch up with your family and friends, and show them how much you appreciate them! 

These here are two songs from me to everyone, Holy Night from Toradora and White Confession (Lately) by INFINITE, my favourite K-pop group.




I'D LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
(My New Year message is separate XD)

Uta no Prince-sama Winter Book (DGS January 2013)

So when me and my friend rushed to Kinokuniya this morning, the PASH! magazines had not been shipped in yet (I think) but we managed to grab January 2013's issue of DGS (thankfully!)~ I'll go back this Saturday and see if the PASH! magazines have arrived! I'll just scan the free Uta Puri book for now because it's already late night and I want to watch the animes I missed this week (Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Kamisama Hajimemashita) [I didn't watch them in the end].

Uta no Prince-sama Winter Book cover
Otoya's Interview

I really love this illustration, it's so pretty!
I couldn't turn on my portable scanner so I had to use my printer-scanner-photocopier to scan these. It was a slow process because of the big resolution, but I prefer how the scans turned out here compared to the ones I scanned using the portable scanner. I'll see if I have time to scan the others along with the December issues of DGS and Otomedia because I HAVE NOT PREPARED MY CHRISTMAS GIFTS YET OTL... (>A<)

Today...

I met up with my Tumblr friend Lunacchi. SHE'S SOOOO NICE OMFG I CAN'T EVEN. Although the time we spent together was really short, I definitely had lots of fun talking and fangirling together! I still can't believe we could meet up IRL. But we did! And I regret nothing!! ♥♥♥


And she gave me these lovely gifts!! She's really sweet!!! (///▽///)
THANK YOU SO MUCH LUNACCHI~!!!!!!!! *huggies* (QwQ)

Shinsengumi Mokuhiroku Wasurenagusa Vol 5 Hijikata Toshizou Disc 1 Short Summaries

Shinsengumi Mokuhiroku Wasurenagusa Vol 5 Hijikata Toshizou (CV: Hosoya Yoshimasa) CD Cover
I haven't been posting anything related to the otome fandom lately so I thought I'd post some short summaries on Disc 1 of the fifth Wasurenagusa volume. My friend Lunacchi requested me to do a live-tweeting session on this volume (which I did in the wee hours of the morning so yeah, I was doing it half-asleep).

Please note that they may not be accurate due to my very meager Japanese. And also, this is my very first time ever trying out a summary/mini translation of a drama CD. I'm really sorry if there are any mistakes of any sort! (Q_Q)

Track 1
“時は源氏元年。” 
[It is the first year of Genji]

The track opens with Hijikata explaining about the Bakufu. 
He then talks about them protecting the Mikado.

"For the Bakufu, for the Shinsengumi. And to surpass (??), for Kondou-san."

He is commanding the Shinsengumi soldiers.
He is battling someone.
"What? Horrified seeing your friend die?" 
*more fighting* 
"So who's next?!"

Then there was this part which sounded like he was apologizing to the Aizu clan. (I think so... >.<)

Track 2
"What? A young woman? Saitou took her in? What is the meaning of this?! ... She was nearly killed by some ryoushi just now?"

You're asleep. 
He shakes you roughly to wake you up but you don't even budge. 
"*sigh* It can't be helped. *to a soldier* Oi! Stand watch over this room!"

Track 3
They're doing some sword practice.

*sees you* "Hey you. What're you doing over there?"

You ask him some stuff and he answers you saying that a woman isn't supposed to be here. (or something like that... ;__;)

During dinner (I think!), he says some stuff which makes you tear up. He's a bit surprised but says that it's to be expected. He thinks you're troublesome. (I don't quite get this part >o<)

Track 4
He's addressing the Shinsengumi soldiers. Then he turns to you and asks you to bring tea to his room.

You have the tea ready and he orders you to come into his room. As he begins speaking to you, you accidentally spill the tea on his kimono. (LOL) And of course he gets angry at you.

(*Super Dummy Head Mic-san enters* which surprised me quite a bit because it's like, still early... But I guess they jumbled up the order from Heisuke's CD onwards XD)

"You spilled tea on my kimono. What are you gonna do about it?"
You apologize.
You ask him what you should do. (LOL this happens every time okay XD)

"Yare yare. Do you really not know? If you can't tell me..." (I don't know what he's saying after that... =_=;)

"Fine. I'll tell you since you don't know. You..." (U-Uh... >////////<)

(OH SHIET MUST I TRANSLATE THESE NEXT PARTS AJDSAJKFHLSHGKHSG)

After some 'stuff' he tells you, you try to escape but he prevents you from doing so.

He calls you a dog and...uh...kisses you...

You run away from his room and he chuckles.

Track 5
(I don't really understand the first part of Track 5. I'll have to re-listen to it again. AND WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AT ME?? QAQ)

He keeps saying women are troublesome... (And he continues being angry at you)

(Some time later...)

It's night time and he's doing his sword practice.
He notices you.

He starts talking and he mentions things like "everything happens because he has the Shinsengumi with him". (I THINK TAT)
He also says the moon is pretty. (similar to Heisuke X3)

Track 6
(Don't quite get Track 6 either)

He's eating then you enter his room suddenly. (LOL you guys sure get along fast! XD)
He's eating manjuu and he says they're sweet. (this is cute >w<)

~END OF DISC 1~

So yeah, that's about it... I know there are a lot of mistakes just from these very short and brief translations... o(;△;)o
I think it's best to read this while listening to the tracks themselves...the lines will be easier to figure out I guess (and it's all because I'm too lazy to check and add in the timings for the lines orz...)
I've already listened to Disc 2. There isn't much ero as compared to the earlier volumes (or maybe I'm missing some things... ¬__¬)
Anyway, Hosoyan did a very good job as Hijikata! There was one part in Disc 2 where Hijikata was expressing his caught-up feelings to you, and it was very emotional. Oh my feels... 
(*´;ェ;`*) 
However, I think I understand why many people aren't willing to translate the Wasurenagusa drama CDs. It's more difficult to understand what they're actually saying maybe because some of the words used are in olden Japanese...

DGS & Pash! December 2012

So it was worth rushing to Kinokuniya after school this afternoon. Managed to grab the two remaining copies of DGS for my friend and myself, and two copies of the many piles of Pash! for the same reason.

The covers
Then there're the free detached posters:

K Project (Pash!)
Tiger & Bunny (Pash!)
Ao no Exorcist The Movie (Pash!): They're all half-naked and my eyes are set on Rin and Shima OMFG AJKDAFAFGLAH *brb dying*
Diabolik Lovers Side Front (DGS)
Diabolik Lovers Side Back (DGS)
I had to spread them all out on the floor because they're all damn big! (;A;)

Ok done for today. I'll upload the contents of the two magazines on another day.

Thursday 15 November 2012

I've been meaning to take photos of my newly-bought Gintoki figure from the latest Oedo Bukan Database series. They'd brought down the price to only $20! Now that I think of it, it wouldn't have hurt to buy Shinpachi's figure as well... *regret regret* Next two upcoming figures come 2013 will be Takasugi and Kondou (I think, because I only saw the silhouettes on the box). Can't wait to get Takasugi! ♥

And yeah, I'm no pro in photography :S







Tuesday 13 November 2012

Right...before I start on my stupid 3D Form & Space assignment (we have to make a stupid kinetic mobile that isn't 'stereotypical'....my foot...), I think I'll start posting some stuff I find necessary.


The stash I bought last Monday, and hurting my ankle in the process *poker face*

I think from now on for my reviews, I will only scan/take photos of information I find relevant and talk about them in separate posts. I'll try out this method and see if it works. If not, I'll go back to how I used to post previously. This is mainly because blogger's posting methods are really troublesome. I feel like quitting blogger and just continue blogging on my wordpress account, but after thinking about how many posts and info I need to transfer from this blog to my wordpress blog, I think I'll just leave it be.

So for today I'll be posting random scans and photos of Dengeki Girl's Style November 2012, PASH! November 2012 and Voice Animage 2013 Winter.

Aoi Shouta Seiyuu Feature, PASH! November 2012
When I first saw him I was like "OMG WHAT A PRETTY PERSON!!!" X3

Phew...that's it for now.... I'll post about the anime festival this weekend. I really have to start on my assignment now, else I'd die. My classmates and I think our teacher for this module's a pedo because of the way he keeps 'hitting on' my poor friend, calling her things like 'cute' and 'Ponyo'... |д゚)チラッ
