Hello again! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Today's post will be on STGCC 2015. I know it's been a while (nearly two months in fact) since the event ended but I couldn't find time to update because the situation at home changed somewhat drastically .-. But today is a public holiday here in my country so I have time to update my blog, and also before the next event this weekend, GameStart Asia.
This post is PHOTO-HEAVY *Please DO NOT take out any of my photos
Hello! This time I'm back with new Rejet titles to share. Yes I know it's really late... Rejet announced the new titles early last month but I wasn't online much then and I didn't realise they had made announcements and also the fact that I'm a lazy person so yeah TTvTT
As usual, since I'm such a busy and lazy girl, I haven't listened much to any of Rejet's CDs orz. However I've recently started playing the Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal game uhuhu and I must say so far it's been.....interesting..... definitely not your typical otome game lol OvO And yes I'm still playing Touken Ranbu pfftt
Greetings! It's been a month since I've posted an entry in this blog! I've been busy over the past month...my apologies!
Today I'll be blogging about last month's CharaExpo which was held in Singapore for the very first time. I only went on the first day because I was really tired and lazy to go for the second one www
Ehehehe once again this post is long overdue! XD
But I want to post about it anyway, mostly for my own reference~
It's also the opportunity for me to finally, FINALLY watch all these PVs :'D
A few weeks back (I can't remember exactly when because I was too busy with schoolwork when I saw the announcement on Twitter >.<) Rejet updated us with new titles for this year!
As with the previous year, I was busy doing my work (this time it was a bloody report ugh) when Rejet spammed my Twitter timeline with updates. 酷いな…(Ｔ▽Ｔ) HOWEVER.... I myself am severely not updated when it comes to listening to Rejet's CDs due to the fact that there are so many of them, I can't keep up welp hello it's like hundreds of CDs vs only one of me... (´ｰ`* ))))
I have no idea where I stopped at for Diabolik Lovers (possibly the first volume of Dark Fate orz), and as for the other Rejet CDs, the last thing I remember listening to was Vanquish Brothers Masamune ;;;;;;
Hehe this post is pretty late but well, I really want to share how fun the event was! I'll combine both days into one post. (TvT)
This post will be PHOTO-HEAVY!! XD However, please DO NOT take out any of my photos!! >.<
I attended AFA 2014 on Day 2 and Day 3 last year. I was stuck in school on Friday so I couldn't go orz. They also announced the attendees for the Lantis Matsuri that will be held on March 28th. I was in class when the announcement was made at the event and after that I couldn't concentrate for the rest of the class LOLOL
I attended the Singapore Toys, Games & Comics Convention (6-7 September) today at Marina Bay Sands and this marks my very first visit to the annual event. It's kind of like the Asian version of Comic-Con (it's the event's collaboration partner btw), and here's where East (anime) meets West (DC/Marvel). I've been meaning to go for the past few years but I usually forgot about it. I couldn't afford to forget this year's though. Especially today's. Reason?
SUGITA.
TOMOKAZU.
To be honest I almost gave up on attending the event today cos no one was free to accompany me. I was distraught since I'd woken up early (early as in not my usual waking time which is usually between 9.30-10.30am lol) and there were complications and some of my family members changing their minds about going so I eventually left the house at 1.30pm (special thanks to my uncle who offered to drive us there on the way to his in-laws' house) :'D My family's the type who doesn't allow me to go to many places without someone accompanying me so my mum offered to accompany me...www
Sugita's panel started at 2pm and I arrived at the convention centre right on the dot. By then I was really anxious so I rushed to the ticket counter (leaving my mum behind lol) and luckily the queue was really fast. I paid for two 2-Day tickets and hurried into the convention hall. I had no idea where the stage was held so I followed my sense of hearing. Someone was speaking on a microphone? Check. Fangirls screaming? Check. Someone welcoming Sugita onto stage? CHECK.
And there he was. I'd dropped my ticket the moment I saw him and I didn't even notice it OTL He was decked in a black T-shirt, black shorts, and a black beanie. It's a pity he didn't come in Gintoki cosplay XD When I arrived he had already started doing a live dubbing for one of the Gintama episodes as Gintoki. It was amazing!! *o* After the dubbing session, there was a Q&A session. I'd love to share what was asked and his answers, but unfortunately the sound system wasn't loud enough and the crowd was deafening so I couldn't hear much of what was being said T__T He held his usual poker face the whole way XDD But seriously man Sugitan. is. AMAZING. His presence on stage was....hhhhhhh oh gosh *___*
Well that's all I have to say for Day 1. I'll (hopefully! no promises ;;;;;;) be attending Day 2 so more coming tomorrow, along with photos! ^^
I'm finally back after my last post in February...wow that was quite a long time ago! XD
Anyway, while I was away, a lot of things happened (well my Tumblr and Twitter are almost always active so I mostly get updates from there www) but seriously, one thing I want to punch really hard is Rejet! (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻
A few weeks back they announced some new projects and at that point of time I was trying to finish up one of my homeworks =__= In the end I got distracted and ended up sleeping for only two hours OTL To make matters worse I had makeup class the next morning, followed by an industry trip in the afternoon, and a Japanese test in the evening >.< I was zombified by the end of the day... _(:з｣∠)_ good thing my uncle decided to fetch me home from school nyahahaha
Anyway, here are the new Rejet projects! I didn't visit their official websites because I'm too lazy and just knowing the seiyuu casts is more than enough for me 8'D *shot*
This is the second part of my AFA post.
Less photos this time cos the security became so much tighter and I
didn't want to risk getting kicked out >.< Again, these posts only
talk about the stage events.
I've run in on problems in school as of late and I figured I should just try and get them out of my head. So I'll write reviews for the drama CDs I've been listening to recently.
I settled on Seventh Heaven after spending the day trying to choose which CD to review on. I'll talk about volume 2 first because this volume really didn't turn out as I had expected it to. It's....so different from how I had imagined it to be... (0_0)
In case anyone is still wondering, Seventh Heaven is a series by Rejet about 7 beautiful shinigami butlers whom you (the listener and heroine in the story) come across when you harbour thoughts of truly wanting to die.
Beautiful death reapers, who can only be seen by women who truly want to die.
They are "Seventh Heaven".
Their singing voices have the hidden power to send souls to the other side, along with pleasure.
People say there are seven beautiful butlers living in "Hiiragi-kan", a mansion standing on the outskirts of town. The mansion doesn't have an owner, and those who enter never return… Upon hearing this ominous rumor, you decided to step into the mansion.
There you will find a shocking truth, but you can never tell anyone about this.
My initial thoughts about this series:
It's not for the young! LOL. Not only cos of the um...stuff that Rejet enjoys torturing us with, but also because of the themes used in here. As compared to Diabolik Lovers and Wasurenagusa, Seventh Heaven is darker with more mature themes, mostly revolving around your 'death'. So I personally feel it's more suitable for the older audience. This is my own opinion anyways haha I could be wrong though... (^^ゞ
Hi I'm back! It's finally my vacation, and I swear I'm gonna make every day count!
Because of school, I haven't been able to review the drama CDs I've been listening to. The disadvantage of this is that I end up forgetting most of what the CDs are about unless the contents are...how do I put it...unique...? (>_>; ) Oh, school is such a menace OTL.
Now why do I continue writing reviews on drama CDs/otome games/anime/manga/etc even though I know that no one reads them? It's basically cos
1) I love writing
2) I fear that if I write my thoughts in a physical diary/journal/etc, someone in my family might read them and then I'd be dead because, well...aren't most of the drama CDs um...filled with heat...? XD
3) I could make my thoughts private if I post it online and make sure that the people I know in real life won't be able to read them
And those are the reasons (・ω・) So if you happen to come across my blog and read my reviews and whatnot, I'd like to say a very big THANK YOU to you! o(^^o)
By the way, I have yet to receive my copy of DGS March 2013 because the other day when I went to Kinokuniya with the intention of buying the magazine, it was sold out (ಠ_ಠ) Fuyu-chan has made an effort to reserve the magazines from the second shipment so hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on it. DEAR LORD PLEASE I BEG YOU!!
And back to drama CDs! Now, almost every person in the otome fandom and who listens to drama CDs and is a sadist is hyped up because (and I'm writing this for those who are not in the know) DIABOLIK LOVERS IS GONNA HAVE AN ANIME AS WELL AS A SEQUEL. I'm looking forward to the anime but more so towards the sequel. Entitled Diabolik Lovers: More Blood, this new installment will feature the Mukami brothers alongside the Sakamaki brothers. The characters are:
Mukami Yuuma (CV: Suzuki Tatsuhisa)
17 years old
190cm (he's the tallest), 70kg
Blood O
Mukami Azusa (CV: Kishio Daisuke)
17 years old
170cm, 50kg
Blood A
Mukami Ruki (CV: Sakurai Takahiro)
18 years old
180cm, 61kg
Blood AB
Mukami Kou (CV: Kimura Ryouhei)
17 years old
176cm, 56kg
Blood B
I know I know... THE SEIYUU CAST IS JUST FREAKING TERRIFIC AIN'T IT. I JUST CAN'T. I've never heard Kimura-san and Kisshi in any *ahem* seductive...kind of drama CD so I'm looking forward to hearing how they're gonna fare as ドS vampires! /imagines Kise and Kurama turning ドS and doing their thing/ I've had a taste of Sakupyon's ドS-ness in Black Wolves Saga (he voiced Mejojo, one of my favourite characters in the game/drama CD) and I'm lusting for more /slapped/. And Tatsun? Don't even mention him. HE WAS BEING SUCH A FREAKING ドS WHEN HE VOICED OKITA IN WASURENAGUSA. Hijikata is supposed to be a ドS but to be honest, I feel that Okita is the one who is a ドS. And his...kisses....in Ani to Osanajimi left me gasping for air. They're THAT intense. /dies/
Here is the PV:
Another key highlight is SHINSENGUMI MOKUHIROKU WASURENAGUSA. In order for the Shinsengumi to be complete, Rejet didn't forget to include Harada Sanosuke and Nagakura Shinpachi to its ranks.
And behold.
Nagakura Shinpachi (CV: Maeno Tomoaki)
24 years old
178cm
Harada Sanosuke (CV: Tachibana Shinnosuke)
25 years old
180cm
TACHIBANAAAAAAAAAAAA~!!!!!!!!! After listening to Yan Ero, I will expect no less from you!! (>///////////////<)
I'm really looking forward to Sano's CD! (╹◡╹)
Here is the PV:
And everyone knows how ruthless Rejet is. Brace yourself for another upcoming Wasurenagusa sequel (yes, just like Diabolik Lovers) called Shinsengumi Kekkonroku Wasurenagusa. Frankly speaking, I'm wondering if Rejet's toying with us because 'kekkon' means 'marriage' and 'roku' refers to 'records' (as in writing eg. keeping records of the past). So in the end 'kekkon roku' means 'marriage records'. So I wanna know if this sequel will end with the listener getting married to the Shinsengumi captains. But then again, it may not be possible because in Mokuhiroku, all the captains, with the exception of Saitou, are not coming back from battle. THAT IS if they stick with what happened in history. If (and I hope they do but I can't get my hopes up) they decide to have a turn of events and the captains return from battle safe and sound, there's a huge possibility that you would end up getting married with your captain. Awwww~ (*´ω｀*)
I checked the release dates of the various CDs and oh boy, they date all the way till next year (2014)! My patience has its limits!!!

Look at Shuu's release date! It's on Christmas! A rather unusual day to listen to a vampire CD, don't you think...? And Raito's CD is gonna be released the day before Halloween. Coincidence? I think not...
Ψ(｀∀´)Ψｹｹｹ
I see almost all of the release dates fall on the EXACT SAME DAY as well as the days before the birthdays of my family members/friends/myself (see Kanato and Sano...my birthday is the day after their CD's release :DDD )
I'm guessing Rejet made the release dates fall on the same day so that they won't get confused or anything (because there are just so many new drama CDs being released this year like Seventh Heaven).
And lastly, I DEMAND that Rejet release an OST for Wasurenagusa because their music is BEAUTIFUL. The theme song makes me cry, really... (;__;)
So yeah, that's all for today's post. I'll start posting my reviews perhaps tomorrow! Good night! o(^^o )
[I use the seiyuus' nicknames in my posts so for the sake of people who are new to the fandom, here is the guide (for this post only): Kisshi: Kishio Daisuke Sakupyon: Sakurai Takahiro Tatsun: Suzuki Tatsuhisa S/N: The nicknames for each seiyuu varies greatly. The nicknames mentioned in my posts are the ones I often use. :) Hope it helps!]
Ah, no, sorry please ignore the above >.<
I went to Kinokuniya to grab January's copy of Pash! and, while I was disappointed that the one and only copy of the Hakuouki Reimeiroku anime art book had been taken away, lookie at what I found!!
I don't know what is the exact name for this, so I just called it as it is (refer to post title).
Process of opening the GHP package
The poster is double-sided and it's HUGE. Plus that hairband is really cute!
1890円 is a good enough price if not for the ridiculous shipping rates orz...
Scans of the book, calendar and posters are in my Tumblr:
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...
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.

Kamiyan's interview for his new PV Such A Beautiful Affair. He's so sexy in the PV *brb nosebleeding*
Kawaii Hirotan's interview for the fourth installment of the Shinsengumi Mokuhiroku Wasurenagusa series. For those not in the know, his character is Toudou Heisuke.
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
