Flags. Flags Everywhere ._.

This is ridiculous. Utterly stupid. Father tells me that in truth, there's nothing wrong with it, they have their rights, but it really gets on my nerves ._. It's like MAPOTI, or worse ><

      The General Elections are coming up, next weekend, they say. And because of that, guess what? They just HAVE to cover every square inch of the state with a bunch of FLAGS, don't they? If it's just a few scattered all around, I'm totally fine with it, no big deal. But THIS! This is just too overwhelming >< Even my neighbourhood has them @[]@ Even outside my humble abode! They're spreading like a blue epidemic, with a few white streaks mixed in. 

      Do they HAVE put that much flags in? Are they trying to proclaim their power over this country? You do realize that after this election ended, and if they lose, those flags are a total waste of both money and resources. Unless, of course, they decided to use it again on the next election o.O

     I'm sure if you can round up those flags and sew them together, they'd make a great canopy for cover. If one flag costs RM4, or RM10, and you're diligent enough to go count those flags, then...you do the math. The sum's...very high...OTL

     Everywhere I go, I see them. Along the roads, outside my school, in downtown, even over the CEMETERY and TEMPLE. Jeez, it feels as if they're disturbing both the living AND the dead ==



See??? =[]=lll Actually, I haven't been to downtown for a week, but after seeing this, I see that it's gotten worse. It wasn't that many last week @@ Siao eh!

     If the police ever finds this post and tries to cuff me for it, well, as my math teacher keeps calling us when we give her excuses, BULLSHIT~ send me to juvenile jail, just because I'm expressing my discomfort and opinions, especially when it's just about a bunch of flags. It's not like I stepped on someone's picture. Well, if they're really wise and great leaders, they wouldn't throw away that amount of money for those flags, free dinners and those free concerts. They would actually READ this and think things over, about how to win, actually WIN, everyone's votes fairly, instead of reeling in fish with such money-blowing tactics and randomly arrest random rebels. It's like history repeating itself all over again. Propaganda for the so-called greater good. Bribery. I DO study my Sejarah, you know, even if I fail most of the time. Have to. Otherwise no certificate after graduation QAQ Heck, if they really want to provide those concerts for non-political purposes, they should've done it earlier! WAY before elections! I've been waiting, WAITING, for concerts in my hometown, you know, those international ones, but nooooo, they're always in KL! And I don't get to go, cuz I'm still a friggin' minor living under my parents' roof >< And NOW they had decided to hold these concerts. FOR FREE. 

      And also, just because I rant about one party, doesn't mean I'm voting for the other. You'll probably be saying that because I bitch so much about that party, it's obvious I'm rooting for that other one. Let me tell you, if I DO get to vote, I wouldn't vote. At all. I don't like both parties. They both seem fishy to me. There's no good party and bad party, just two major groups competing their asses off. Like when I take part in netball in school as the goalkeeper, I look on at my fellow schoolmates from both sides scrambling after the ball at the other end of the court, reminding me of ants fighting over a piece of fallen candy. So basically it's like netball, and I'm just right at the sides, thinking why the heck they would fight so brutally over just one helpless ball.  I'm still a minor and don't have to vote, thank Kami-sama @@ I don't like political drama, simply, utterly, DISLIKE it. They're even messier than soap operas, I'm telling you. Too bad I have to put in my vote in the next election lllOTL I'll be of age by then, sigh~ I hate competition. Too lazy to fight over this crap.

      They say it's for the good of our country. But the way I see it, eventually they're just gonna get screwed anyway. I am SICK of those advertisements. Of those banners telling us not to vote for the other party, but to vote for them because they can provide shit we apparently want and need. BOTH sides are doing it, over Youtube, in Facebook, on TV == The newspapers are THE WORST! But I do like the comics :P 

     This is by far the most heated elections ever! I really, really want to get back to my normal, peaceful, flagless life, where I don't always encounter traffic jams because of free food. I've never even been to one QAQ And I love food!

    Politicians, if you really want to win, don't over do it. I don't like the way they're all "Pick me!" "No! Pick ME! The other party is rubbish! Don't listen to them! I'M your man!" Like egoistic boys fighting over a girl. Typical. The world can never be fair, can it? Just get yourself a piece of humble pie! You say you don't have to say anything about your actions like the rest, others can see it for themselves. Well, I see it, and I feel that your actions are too loud over your words, and vice versa. When I said words, I mean those listed in newspapers and your speeches. And when I said actions, I'm talking about those God damn FLAGS and BANNERS!!! =皿= Let's get this over with already! They're such a drain to my aura.

     And if this event ever appears in a question in Pendidikan Moral, what nilai should they mengamalkan? KESEDERHANAAN, people! Tidak keterlaluan! The world calls for BALANCE. And THIS, is a total overdose of cloth and money-spending >< 

      Happy thoughts. Chicken pie. Apple pie sprinkled with brown sugar. Brownies. Laksa. Aaaaand I'm off to having my dinner .-. What do you think of the elections? Which side are you voting?

Koizakura...Love Sakura?

And so! We're up to four now in Uta Pri! Starring Masatooooooooooooooooo-sama! ^^ I find serious characters like him very, very funny, especially when they can make something so simple into a really heavy matter XD Think Kent ;))) LOL

       STARISH's debut concert is so epic, even people from the theatre community takes an interest in cool Masato. Finally! A chance for this traditional dude to shine! Neon blue! XD He's landed with an audition for a role in this historical musical called *pauses video* Singing Swordsman of Justice, by Hibika Saemon.  Otoya picks up the script, reads it, and imagination settles in~

      Out appears this good old scene in a poor village, with Natsuki escorting Ren-sama, all of them in traditional clothing. Seems like Ren's playing the antagonist, probably someone with power, by the looks of his. HOT~ XD Grinding his teeth, a sword is unsheathed, and Syo cries out something about avenging his mother as he charges at Ren! With the rose in between his teeth, Ren twirls it in his hand before throwing it at Syo's...sword/katana? =w=lll I can't tell lllOTL Anyhoo, just that single stalk and the weapon is easily knocked out of his hands. Natsuki steps forth and lands a blow on Syo, knocking him out for good measure. Ren is about to execute his final blow on Syo before...Masato appears! :DDD

Tags: Anime, Demotivational Poster, Uta no☆prince-sama♪, Jinguji Ren, Kurusu Shou

       He wears a hat, glancing coolly at Ren underneath the brim, oozing charisma~ It's obvious that he's the savior and main character of the whole musical. Natsuki the bodyguard, serious for once, in this anime, unlike his real flowery self, tries taking on Masato, but with sharp, hawk-like eyes that shoots lasers for focus (?) and incredible gut instincts, Masato is able to stop Natsuki in time with a sword pointing at his chest, making him admit defeat and surrender. Just like that, Ren and Natsuki flees off, promising that they will come back, the usual move for cowardly villains who heads for the exit.

      Later, after Otoya and Masato helps Syo return home, Syo shares his sad story about his sick mother and how Ren exploits the whole village. This cues Masato's epic speech of him aiming to serve a big plate of justice and make Ren eat it! >:D Kidding! I'm just exaggerating, he just calls him a demon and says that he should be punished :P So typical of quiet Masato.

      But...that next scene.....the hell.......WHY DO THEY STAR TOKIYA AS A WOMAN???????? Of all characters, him! And in the imagination of STARISH @[]@ OTOYA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? OH MY GOD, HE'S JUST SO M!!! TOKIYA JUST BECAME AN M, HOLY MOTHER OF CUPCAKES @[]@ THIS IS SO BL @@

  

              Oh God why...........lllOTL

        "Zutto!" *shudders* Natsuki's imitation is cuter though XD

        Indication of a love scene! ;D This is Masato's challenge! For being such an iceberg! :P Embracing a person, that's so easy~ But Masato takes it with his usual seriousness, as if embracing a random person, a female actress he doesn't know, in his case, is like losing your virginity to a stranger =w=llll Chill~ Or better yet, just melt yourself and loosen up, Mr Popsicle!

        He then decides to be a one-man show, without his friends' help, on EMBRACING~which is written with brush and ink on calligraphy paper and taped on the wall =w=lll Sure, try losing all mundane thoughts and find inner peace UNDER THE RUSHING CURRENTS OF A WATERFALL, DRENCHED, SOAKED, YOGA-STYLE. 

       Determination is key, even when you're at risk of catching a cold :P Aw :'( He visits his grandfather's grave, recalling on how his granddad decides to help him shape up in the performing arts by letting him go to Saotome Academy. What a filial grandson :')

      Cecil sure is a spoiled prince :/ Camus is another iceberg, as cold as the one that makes Titanic meet its downfall. Argh, homework :/ Even rising superstars have them. Camus says that idols should experts in charming people or something. Sound like snake charmers to me, the way he says it :P

     The Arabian prince can't resist himself around Nanami, can he? :P He just 'wants to relax with her'. That's definitely implied rape :PPP He's also jealous of STARISH, haha XD So why did Nanami like them so much? She says that they sparkle. Makes them sound precious. Like diamonds. BE HONEST, NANAMI, IT'S FOR THEIR HOTNESS, ISN'T IT??? >:D She's too naive. People like her are just too nice. This species is very, very rare :P

     Yay! Masato's back! :D And the others want to help no matter what :))) The power. OF FRIENDSHIP *rainbow emits from hand* Tokiya, nyooooooooooo~ whyyyyyyyeeeeee~~~~ QAQ You really did put on the freakin' kimono ASDFGHJKL!!!

      But...I have to admit...he's pretty good for an actor............

      "Zutto!" GAG!

      OK, fine, I did squeal with laughter over Tokiya's acting :PPP and Masato ALMOST embracing him =w=llll It's just too sparkly~ 

      ...Fan-girling...it just won't go away...OTL

      No matter how perfect Tokiya's acting is, embracing a guy like that just screams GAY~ XD Even Cecil came to watch, lol! The whole bunch are just GAY~~~ the way they anticipate the hugging scene LMAO!

      Cecil does have a good point though. Why DIDN'T they just ask for Nanami's help in the first place??? She's a girl, obviously! They seem to forget about Nanami's existence =w=lll

     I'm sure Nanami's gonna play a big part in the help again, like the one with Syo. Otherwise, there's no point for her in sticking around any longer. Right?

      Wrong! ((piak~ Cecil actually helped him! XD Even gramps' wise words pitched in! Imagine the one you embrace as the woman you love, WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT? 

     The audition ends up perfectly~~~ The fight scenes are flawless, the bumbling villainous baffoon defeated, and THE GIRL FINALLY EMBRACED ASDFGHJKL!!! It's so romantic~<3 the way he hugs Nanami, er, I mean, the random female actress.

    Quote from Masato *puts on epic face*: "This, is what it means to perform. This, is acting. This..."

     ...is AI~<3 ^^ Don't deny it, Masato! You and your thoughts of Nanami! kyaaaaaa~~~~ XD 

     Ooooo~ He actually blushes~ XD *Fries eggs on his cheeks

     Jealous Cecil turns all Sherlock Holmes on Masato =.= Isn't it obvious? Practically everyone has the hots for Nanami. I deduce that Masato loves Nanami! Real genius on that one =w=lll He just has to force Masato to confess, eh? Poor Masato, always locking up his real feelings. At least he's "connected with her", "through the bond of music"~

     I just realize how deep Masato's voice is, too. Very deep, more macho than sexy XD "I want you H~" kyaaaaa~~~~ o>w<o

     ENDING~~~~ TADADAH! DAH-DA DA DAH! LALALALA~ LALALALA! LALALA-LA LALA LA, LALALA LALALALAAAAAAA~~~~ LALA SHOOTING STARRR~~~ 

      Lack of lyrics...gomen...=w=llll

     And 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! I want to shleep! >w< Oyasumi! *le dreaming~

Hatsune Miku Project Diva F! :D



Epic! Plain old epic! I finally possess this awesome, popular Japanese rhythm game!!! <3 With a bit of patience and some cash saved up in my pink little tin coin box, all's well ends well :))) 

         It was so surprising! On Sunday morning, after a nice swimming session, me and my family had our usual breakfast of Hokkien mee and coffee at this coffee shop downtown. Mum and Dad didn't really feel like going to Gurney Plaza, since that we'd been there last week and they wanted to go home instead. My brother and I begged them to take us there, and that's when inspiration struck. We told them we'd go hang out there, just the two of us, in two hours' time, while Mum and Dad can scadoodle back home and pick us up later for tuition. They somehow agreed! I mean, usually they wouldn't consent to that, what with the random crime rates going up, you'll never know, but Dad just handed us each 50 ringgit and told us to be careful and stick with each other at all times and to make sure we had our phones with us. Woo! Clipped wings temporarily free! ^^

       Giddily, both of us skipped out of the car and entered the air-conditioned interior of the mall, happy about our new found freedom, pondering about which store to go to first. We ended up escalating to the third floor to Artist Gallery, where there's a section up front selling video games and consoles. I remembered spotting the game in the glass display case last week, all wrapped in plastic, looking so pristine among the rest, screaming "buy me!" with its pretty, colourful cover.  That was before I spied another game, Just Dance 4! XD My parents decided to buy me JD4 instead, along with the PS Move, since that they promised so a long time ago, to award me for my good grades during the first term. They weren't really keen on buying Project Diva F for me, though, and constantly reminded me on how long I have left until SPM =.= So I just felt like taking action. I diligently saved up my pocket money up to this day. 

       The storekeeper was nice enough to dock off RM8 from the original price. Once payment was made, yay! :D I couldn't help peeking into my bag every once in a while to check on my newly bought game o>w<o My precious~~~((Gollum-style~

       At least both of us got something. My brother bought a James Bond 007: Casino Royale book :D Good to see my brother doing a bit of reading :) A cup of Tutti Fruitti later and we called up our dad to pick us up. Wuu~ I wished we could shop a bit longer TT^TT

     ...BUT WHO CARES! I GOT THE GAME! MUAHAHAHAHAHA~ ((piak~

     I got to play the game today, what a rare chance on a weekday XD I started it up...and it's all in Japanese lllOTL I know how to read hiragana, a dash of katakana, a teensy bit on kanji, but I barely know how to comprehend all those long sentences TT^TT If only I can ace the Japanese language! >< 

     Well, forget the language barrier, I say! XD I'll just stick with the images, at least they can give some clues as to what these buttons do on the screen, lol! The tutorial is simple and actually quite fun, with Miku's Ievan Polka playing in the background and a chibi Miku holding a stick of leek at the corner of the screen. You just have to mash those buttons at the right time, tapping them to the beat of the song, with the arrow keys, and your usual square-triangle-O-X buttons. Unlike K-on, which has the notes on the screen align on a bar like a music score, the symbols in Project Diva tend to fly on the screen, flying and flying, and you have to keep up with these dayum confusing, colourful little midgets in order to achieve a high score o.O Even their speeds vary, depending on the tempo of the song, from irritatingly slow to mind-blowing need for speed @@ Honestly, they're just so hard to tell when the background gets too bright and colourful, like camouflaged hummingbirds or something o.O

      The graphics are very nice, the animation smooth as clockwork. The scenes are quite cinematic, very HD. They look so pretty on the big screen~<3 The loading screen even displays countless fan art of Vocaloid ^^ They're so colourful, cute and pretty! I wish I can draw as awesome as them @@ It always chokes me up whenever the PVs play out so perfectly, like Tell Your World, I prefer it in the game more than the original one. I can't help it, it's just pure awesomeness! TTwTT The graphics really stands out compared to the one on the PSP. Even my brother, the game nerd in the family who's way more of an expert in this field than me, is impressed with it, though rhythm games are not his cup of tea. He just doesn't find mashing buttons as accomplishing as adventure games like Far Cry 3 or Uncharted.

     What's more awesome is that Project Diva F features a lot of my favourite Vocaloid songs :D Senbonzakura's in it, Tokyo Teddy Bear, too! ^^ Plus, as mentioned above, the exclusive Tell Your World XDDD The game always pumps me up whenever I play it :D Apparently, those songs, along with a few more, are extras added into the game for the PS3 version. To see more songs, here's the link to the list from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku:_Project_DIVA_F#Song_List  

      Those epic PVs, the music, the game play, they all combine and become the ultimate pastime for otakus XD Totally worth the buy! ^^ Although it can be addictive :P

      They say you can customize the way your Vocaloid looks by adding an accessory here and there and change their clothing, just like K-On. No surprise there, since that both games are made by SEGA (SEGA~ XD). I haven't tried that yet, but I do earn a handful after a few game plays. So far, my goal is to unlock all the songs first, for more variety and epicness~ XD 

      And so, the adventure begins, a new cycle has been created in the process, with the goal of completing Hatsune Miku Project Diva F and Just Dance 4 at hand. A challenge accepted. 

...but what about SPM........llllOTL sounna.....kuso.......

      Whateva! When there's work, there's play. It's called balance! =w=lll I'm just making excuses :P I better do my homework now, haha, see you!

Star Project, daisuki! ^^

OK, so I don't get to play Amnesia :'( And Uta no Prince Sama is out of the list, too. Otome games are hard to come by around here >< ...BUT GUESS WHAT! ((piak~ I FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE! MUAHAHAHAHA~~~ XD

     The alternative comes with a name, and its name? STAR PROJECT (hence the title :P). 

                               
     

      After a little research on the Wiki and a couple of blog reviews, I found out that it's originally a Korean game. My friend mentioned about this game over a text during the Easter holidays. At first, I thought its a game branching out from Uta Pri (lllOTL), BUT IT'S NOT @@ In fact, even though it isn't, I love it! Simply just filled with lurve for it! XD 

     It seems that there are multiple websites hosting this game, from the original Korean one, a Japanese version, right down to one that has a Japanese voice-over and English subtitles, the one I'm currently playing, something called Galaxy Games. You'll have to register and make an account before playing the game, as the website ranks players for the Top 500, be it Best Manager or Best Star. Once you have one, you're good to go! ^^

      The game first started with the basic name-filling. State your name and the name of your star management company, as you'll be playing as a manager in this series. You'll first encounter a bunch of thugs, all who're after you because your father died in an accident and left you in a load of debt with these guys. Suddenly, a good-looking blonde boy happens to come across this scene, and decides to step in to help the damsel in distress (that's you XD). But his help just makes it lot worse, when he accidentally bashed and damaged the gangsters' boss' car. Oops ._. They took it without their boss' permission, and now that the car's all dented, the boy and you will have to work hard to pay off their debt, double time.

     Your star management company building seems to be small and in a messy, degrading, unkempt state, the blonde boy named Touya remarks, since that he, and others in future, can't seem to find the company until they're pointed to this dingy apartment. As Touya wants to sign up to become a star, he will be given a stage name, a name which you can pick whatever that suits him. I call him Toma, lol, though I do think about changing it to Tamaki, like the blonde guy from Ouran High School Host Club, as he resembles him quite a lot. It's also interesting that you get to type out the contract yourself and let him sign it XD






See? See? XD


       In the game, you mostly have to level up your star and yourself by playing some mini games, train your star, take up some part-time jobs, and have your star appear in concerts, plays, movies, photo shoots, etc. You even get to date your star in various places like a restaurant or a movie theater :D this improves your star's mood, his attraction to you, along with his chances of succeeding in his work :) though bear in mind that dating in the same place too frequently can lower the percentage of the date to be successful >< As you, your star and his love for you increases, you get to continue the story, scenario after scenario, 31 in total @@ with selections here and there to decide what you'll do in response to the story, just like any otome game, but choose wisely, as some gains nothing, some can increase those love points, while some improves your star's skills or mood. I only reach the 21st scenario TT^TT still a long way to go. But almost there! o>w<o

       As you progress in the game, you also get events, which you can replay in your diary. The scenarios can be replayed as well, but the choices you make again in the replay has neutral effect to the game, no points, no nothing. Just past memories. Of course, you also get photos from a scenarios and events, so whenever you need a quick fix of some eye-candy, just open your photo album XD



wow~<3 

      I like the mini games :D The characters are all chibi in them, kawaii~~~<3 ^^  The games range from part-time jobs like helping out at the bakery by matching three or more pastries or arranging the books in the right order at the bookstore, to stardom training sesh like hitting the right keys for vocal lessons or matching the beat and following the dance trainer's steps. It gets harder as you play a higher level, but higher levels have better rewards, so break a leg! XD watch your energy level, though! You wouldn't want to exhaust your star too much until he passes out! >< The more games you succeed in, your trust points for those NPCs will increase and they'll come to like you :) Have low trust points and they most likely will tell you to leave and not bother them :( Plus, when you receive any appointments on your schedule, make sure you're able to complete them before accepting them. If you haven't fulfill any of the conditions in order to complete the appointments and are not able to finish them in time, 10 trust points will be docked off from the NPC for each broken promise. Better accept whatever you can and decline the rest!

     After you work, you get to earn stars, an essential to pay for your training and dates and meals. But special items  and some clothes from the gift shop and clothing store requires gold, which you'll have to purchase online :( That's one feature I dislike from most online games.

      The NPCs are interesting, too. I only remember a few names, like Kazuteru Yano, the handsome Speech teacher,




Yuri, the pretty, pink-haired vocal trainer,

 


Kurisu, the owner of a clothing store, whose trust I haven't fully gain TT^TT ,



and let's not forget, Aoi! Who is like a sister and an advisor to me XD She can help you with the tutorials, though they seem to matter little, since that you'll learn everything in time, with or without her explainations.




I remember Milika the fortune-teller, whose predictions are quite baffling at times @@ She's pretty, but her fortune-telling is just plain confusing :/

                                         



       The voice overs are out of sync though @@ Maybe it's because I click on the screen too fast :s You only get to hear wisps of them, not the whole thing, sadly :( But have no fear! :D Terashima Takuma, voice actor of Uta Pri's Otoya, also voices as Touya! ^^ (Otoya, Touya, geddit? :P) Kya~<3 

     Oh yeah! Touya's not the only star! :) There's also Ren, his personality the opposite of Touya's bubbly, naive and outgoing nature. According to the wiki, Touya's a Leo (yay! o>w<o) and Ren's a Scorpio, which explains his cool demeanor @@ He's a guy full of mystery, and is also harsh at times, but that's how characters like him roll :P Apparently, one day, he stops over at your company, wanting to be your finance director or something and help you pay your debt. This is utterly surprising, and you can tell he's the kind of guy who's probably rich and important. You're still thinking this offer over after he left, when suddenly you spy a necklace lying on the floor. At one point, you accidentally drop it and it rolls off to God knows where. Frantically, you search for the necklace, but you can't find it. While you're still finding it, Ren comes back to the company, saying that he dropped something and needs it back. You're in full panic mode, trying to stall him and buy some time before he notices it missing. And that's when you pull out your trump card and make a deal with him, saying that he, instead of becoming their finance director, can work as an entertainer in exchange for the necklace. You can find out more about him and his past as the game progresses XD 

        Unfortunately, his contract won't last long, only a few days' time, and you have to buy the contract with stars in order to extend his employment. Plus, his scenarios and love points are much harder to earn than Touya's. But then, he is cool and sexy~ I name him Tokiya from Uta Pri, as both display the same cold demeanor XD But then, so do most players XD





It's because he seems so unapproachable, whenever he smiles, it feels reassuring and partially shows that he's not a bad guy :) Even though his jokes and comments can be mean sometimes XD




         

Doesn't that last picture look like Kagamine Len from Karakuri Burst? XD Hot~<3

       At least Ren is more skilled than Touya, who sucks at memorizing scripts, plus I suck at the Memory game, too >< So training him isn't much of a problem. 

      He's voiced by Ishida Akira, voice actor of Amnesia's very own Kent :))) Could this get any better? XD






 Which kiss scene do you prefer? >////<      
       
      There are more stars you can manage, actually, but here in Galaxy Games, I don't think they have released all yet, just those two guys, and maybe Torian soon. Torian reminds me of Gackpo from Vocaloid 3 XD Seriously, both are handsome and long-haired, only one's a knight with blue hair while the other a samurai with purple hair. What a match! XD 



...definitely a hybrid of Gackpo and Kaito XD

         The first time I played Star Project, it took a long time for the game to load, a loooooong time, like, half an hour at the latest! >< I got sick of waiting sometimes, honestly! But then these days it loads pretty quick, even though at times it comes across a few errors and glitches with the system, like how the game's multiple background songs tend to overlap one another, and sometimes I have to reload it when it hangs, but otherwise, it gets OK, probably 'cause I've been playing it frequently and my laptop recognizes it or the game recognizes my laptop or something and got used to each other. Who knows? =w=lll

       All I can say is, go play! :D You won't get disappointed if you like otome games! ^^ What do you think of the game? Which character do you prefer, Touya or Ren? ((Tough decision XD

     Dinner time! Now which course shall I take? Budget, Standard, or Luxury? :P

Episode 3: True Wing! :D

7 days of waiting and it's finally here! I always get excited over a new episode! :D Another update about Uta Pri! Six cream puffs later and I'm good to go! So drum roll please~~~ o>w<o

       Episode 3 is all about Syo :D In Season 1, he was starred in Hyuga-sensei's movie/series Prince of Fighting as...one of the characters' little sister...lllOTL the hell.....Poor Syo...=w=lll



Ohoho~ isn't he pretty~? XD
      
          But NOW! The tide turned! This time, Syo has another the chance to prove himself to his favourite idol, Hyuga-sensei by acting out his role unmistakably as a MAN in Prince of Fighting: Two Hour Special. Honestly, I love how chibi Otoya, Natsuki and Syo look in this episode. There seemed to be more chibi-ness in this season than the previous one. Well, I love it! XD They're so cute~<3 

         Now that STARISH has become a professional group of idols, each member has more jobs offered to him, like Tokiya working in commercials and dramas, and Ren modelling for a magazine (no surprise there, what with his sexy good looks XD). Cecil has a lot to learn in becoming an idol. According to Syo, not only does an idol sing in his profession, he also has to take up a variety of work, using this opportunity to show off his talents. Which is true. Check out EXO, and what about JYJ? ((K-pop reference :P

       Apparently, STARISH still has a long way to go. Shining Saotome tells them about the Uta Prince Award, a rare title for outstanding rookies. In order for them to win this title, they have to do more than just selling more CDs. Their senpais tell them that they have to win the Uta Pri Committee's attention with their performance, not only on singing, but also on other work.Yes, Camus, we know how much you sparkle like your glowing staff thingie =.=lll Oh well! Gambatte ne, STARISH! :)))

      Moving on to Syo's time on the big screen! The set does look pretty impressive, quite a massive castle! On the day of the filming, Syo finds Hyuga-sensei, telling him about how much he admired him in the show and how he looked forward to working alongside with him. But Hyuga-sensei just looks at him coldly, saying that Syo shouldn't be behaving like an amateur, as he is a professional now, and is considered as his rival in this field.

      Syo looks kinda shocked, but he has a role to play, and so the filming begins. He excels in the fighting scenes, showing off his well-trained karate skills and all. Explosions are added to give the scene a kick. Then comes the scene, where Syo's character has to jump over a rather huge gap to the other side of the bridge. The bridge that barely connects the twin towers was very high up, and I don't know how Syo gets over his fear of heights. It was Otoya who was scared of heights in the game, though o.O Weird.

      At first, the director has planned to use a stuntman for this scene, but Syo recalls what Hyuga-sensei have told him. He then decides to take up the part and make the leap of faith himself, wanting to prove his worth. Multiple times he tries, and multiple times he fails. No matter how much he force himself to jump over, his black-painted nails just can't seem to touch the other side, and he's left dangling on the bungee cord after countless attempts. It all seems hopeless, but Hyuga-sensei tells the director to give him one more chance on this, and so the filming shall continue the next day.

     Determined, Syo spent the night training in the gym, his friends watching with worry. As Syo's childhood friend, Natsuki feels obligated to help him out, so he signs up to be an extra in the shoot, bringing Cecil along. Kawaii ne, Natsuki! ^^ 



     Syo continues to train himself, but still his efforts are not enough to surpass the test. It is until nighttime that Syo realizes that he forgot to bring a change of clothes. Luckily Nanami comes and brings it to him! I feel that Nanami seems more useful in this episode. At least she isn't just standing on the sidelines doing nothing! But it is careless of her to run over to Syo's side and almost fall from the bridge just because she left the bag over the edge and accidentally make it fall while trying to retrieve it. She could've climb up to the opposite twin tower though. Wouldn't that be easier to reach Syo? =w=lll The cuteness of scared Nanami is just to moe to resist! XD If she hasn't fall from the bridge, I don't think Syo would've make the jump! He finally succeeded! Just to save the one he loves! <3 :D There's that manly moment where he hugs her tight, not letting her go, after he gets her out of harm's way. Awww~<3

        And so, with the song True Wing written by Nanami in his heart, he finally accomplishes in his jumps and smoothly acts out the rest of the fighting scenes. Even Hyuga-sensei apologizes for his cold shoulder from before :) It's all thanks to Nanami, and my dislike for her lessens. If she could show more than that in the upcoming episodes, I'll definitely root for her ^^ The ending then features Syo thanking her, expressing what he learned today, and even has the idea of recruiting new members for his fanclub! Starting with Nanami, by placing his hat on her head as a certificate for her membership :DDD 

      I quite like this episode. It's lighthearted and I admire Syo's determination and upfront attitude XD He's so full of fire, so active to show what a man ought to be like. Thumbs up for the *cough*little*cough* guy! 

     Another late night for me. =w=lll Will be expecting panda eyes tomorrow in school, lol. Nights, everyone! :) And thanks for reading! ^^ Arigatou gozaimashita! <3

Uta Pri 2! Episode 2!

Yappa!!!! o>w<o after waiting for just a week and a day, Uta No Prince Sama: Maji Love 2000% episode 2 is out!!! >w< I always see Ren being the one to kiss Nanami (on the cheek only, and that's it). No kissing scene, no anything, 'cause this is, after all, an anime adapted from an otome game, and the producers can't be bias as to which guy Nanami should date (I do like the opening in the first season, where Tokiya almost kissed her! >////w////<). But then, Cecil pops up! And he obviously has the hots for Nanami, to the extend of kissing her~~~calling her "my beloved princess"~~~kyaaaa~~~~ >////w////< FINALLY! Some lip action from someone other than Ren XD Even if it's brief :P omo, his ENGLISH~ Just hearing him saying words like "my princess" and "yes" makes flowers and hearts pop all over me as I squeal my heart out~~~ o>w<o <3<3<3 although I'm not used to him speaking English phrases, I'd still like to hear more! XD demo, yume...desuka? o.O Is it really just a dream? When they meet by the lake, with the fireflies and all that? So the kiss isn't real???? @[]@ s-sounna! >< shinjiranaiyo!!!



       Fangirl-ing aside, after all the episodes of Uta Pri I have watched, in both Season 1 and 2, I...still don't get why Nanami is that important lllOTL So she composes songs for them, what's the big whoop-up? It's not like she grants everyone miracles and solve all their problems or do something very very very great and important @@ I mean, she just...writes awesome songs....*twiddles thumbs* I don't get how 7 hot guys are so eager to sing her songs and be with her. I don't sense any chemistry, at all! Unless you count her blushing and blubbering helplessly and the guys' ranging hormones and strong desire to embrace her and make her theirs and them dying to kiss her and touch her as CHEMISTRY @@ Seriously, people, I don't feel the love, it's so one-sided, and that side has more players than the other side @@ Plus, Nanami's personality, even if she has the Goddess of Music, Muse, inside of her, it's so boring and blah, no sugar or spice to it, she's just your typically "yes man", klutzy sort of a girl (she just HAS to trip and fall while reaching Cecil, doesn't she? o.O). I felt like she's more of a supporting character, not like Heroine in Amnesia, who needs to get her memories back and grasp hold of reality while finding them in parallel worlds, though both have practically the same characteristics. I have to admit, it's cute when she gets all embarrassed after saying that she met this prince who helps her in her dreams. Prince, eh? Wink, wink!

       The more I watch episode 2, the more I get to know Cecil, the less I feel confident about this character. Sure, he's the hot Arabian prince, with a brimful of confidence that the rest don't have, and his songs, looks, standards, status and attributes just make him stand out from the others in STARISH. Since that he doesn't know anything about the no-love rule in Shining Agency, he is that bold as to hold Nanami and almost to the point of kissing her again, before the others stop him XD It's so funny, seeing them all jealous like that. This is the first time I see them all fighting against one guy over music and Nanami XD Poor STARISH! You guys have competition! XD 



                                             Yeah! Get away! ((piak~

He seems to know more of the members of STARISH, too, as he's able to tell who's who and what their hearts say before they introduce themselves @@ Aaaand he leans in to Nanami again, trying to steal a smooch, IN FRONT OF THEM ALL, IT'S BLASPHEMY, I SAY! But then Camus appears! As Cecil's senpai! :D My Kami-sama, his voice is that deep! And I thought none can compare to Ren's sexy deep baritone~ XD So, Camus can make frost and snowflakes pop up and lower the temperature just to make his entrance? Does he have magical attributes, too? But, he's so strict! Colder than Ranmaru, brrrr! I can practically eat ice cream around him and get my ice cream to freeze before I'm able to finish it, until I can't eat it anymore!


        What I doubt is Cecil and the way he's so sure of himself. He insists that he's not interested to be an idol, he's even confident that his singing is better than the rest. Bitch, please~ his voice, even if the rest claims that it's awesome or whatever, it sounds like....Otoya's =w=lll it sounds nasal, like someone pinching his nose while singing, more cute than manly, truth be told. I didn't say it sucks, just...it's not bad, at least he can sing. He even said he doesn't need Camus-senpai o.O However, Camus says that Cecil doesn't even know the fundamentals of becoming an idol and singing like a professional, even if Cecil claims that his family has served Muse for generations and thus he has more awesome singing skills and whatnot. He does know how to climb trees, though =w=lll Alter ego, Tarzan! XD

      So Camus then set a test for the newbies! A stack of cards for Nanami to read out the riddles while the others have to find the right hiragana cards, which were all written with brush and ink by Shining Saotome and cut in big circles by Ringo-sensei earlier. Cecil is surprisingly faster than the rest, and gets the right answers, but the cards he picked are all so close to the correct answers and yet are wrong ('chi' and 'sa' DOES look almost the same XD) The last hiragana card, 'u', is hanging by a tree. Syo, being the most athletic, and the most impulsive, climbs up the tree to stop Cecil from winning, causing him to fall into a pond, which is...shallow, so Cecil doesn't really need saving =w=llll Cecil even freaks out over a fish, da hell? =[]=lll apparently, he comes from the desert, and he dislikes water and fish. So...I wonder how he showers? XD


       Instead of admitting his loss, leave Shining Agency or whatever way to end the trial after running away, he's back in the main room! Napping! Even mumbling in his sleep! XD He's so laid back, he doesn't even get why Camus has to be so serious and strict, lol. He is that care-free. The only thing he cares about is being able to be with Nanami and sing her songs. Talk about obsession~ Everyone just loves her songs! No kidding!


      I just don't like how Cecil has such high confidence. Confidence that high can be one's weakness, it can make them overlook their flaws and keep thinking that they can win but then they lose in the end. Confidence IS one of the keys to success, but too much can't really make them have the want to improve, to go beyond their limits and better themselves. They'll just be resting on laurels ><


        I guess I should call it a night and go to bed. School tomorrow, a Friday I wish that will go by quickly and skip over to the awaiting Saturday XD I had fun watching episode 2 and fangirl-ing over STARISH. Can't wait for the next episode! What do you guys think of episode 2? :D 


      Ja! Oyasumi!

Senior Year! And Beastly Creme Brulee~ :P

Konbanwa! It has been a long time since I watch any movies on Disney Channel XD High School Musical 3: Senior Year, thought I'd check it out this lazy Saturday night XD It has been one of those movies that are memorable during my childhood, like, up to 6th grade, before I became a tween! It's also the first movie that I watch in the cinema with my friends, you can say it's my first hangout sesh with them :3 So this movie begins with Troy, Gabriella and their friends singing...and ends with them singing...*shrug*! XD It has been the most epic in this trilogy! The songs in the movie are awesome as ever, even more epic than the ones in the previous two movies, and we get to see Troy and the rest graduating and finishing their final year in East High! :D  Even though they sing and dance at some situations that will seem awkward when done in real life o.O Rocking about your childhood with choreographed dance moves and a bunch of strangers that pop out of nowhere? fine, it's sort of cool, their song and all, but if you're a passerby and you see them performing. With a malfunctioning car that has its hood opening and closing like a fish's mouth or automatic sliding glass doors that has its sensors being trolled by someone. Dude, get a new car! And who's that girl popping out with her shadow? Personally, I find sudden singing and well-choreographed dancing at random moments with random people who seem to know what to sing and how to dance at the right time rather strange. Unless it's one of those private moments (in your own room, by yourself :P who DOESN'T sing and dance alone in their own room and rock on like you're a pop star in your imagination? XD), high moments (very fun with friends XD SAA, LET'S DANCE~ ((Uta Pri moment), mini concerts or campaigns or something that I don't give a dayum about o.O And if I'm Gabriella and I sing my heart out on the porch in front of my house before I leave, won't my neighbours be like, "aw, shaddup!" ?=w=lll  But this IS a movie about musicals, so it's exceptional, I guess. And Troy entering the school in the middle of the night, just to vent his frustrations? Where da hell did those basketballs come from? Heaven? I'm pretty sure I'll get knocked out by one of them :P Thank God they're not volleyballs! Or metal balls =w=lll Iron balls? They sound like eye balls XD Won't a guard be like, who's that kid singing in the hallways? Doesn't he know what time it is already? Get outta here! At least it's just Miss Darbus, but then why is SHE there??? :O 

         Just watching them going through their senior year makes me think of MY senior year. Like, why can't mine be as interesting as theirs? Why can't I sing and play as awesome as them? Why do they have prom in school and a cool office for the staff of yearbook editors and mine don't? When will I learn how to bake creme brulee? When do I even get to eat creme brulee? What IS creme brulee??? ((piak~



so close, yet so far! One day, I shall sample you! :P

          If I'm a passerby and see Troy and Gabriella singing and dancing, him in a tux, her in casual wear, I'll be like, oooooo~~~ omg, they look GORGEOUS~ ah, love~<3 I wonder, do people even do that? Dancing and singing in somewhere private, just the two of them, no one else to interrupt them? Hmmmm~ Dancing, yes, but singing? I'm VERY curious about romance, somewhat. I question it everyday, what with the media and books broadcasting it and always talking about LURVE~ I always think that them couples kissing and looking into each other's eyes is sweet and romantic, but now that I see some of my friends and schoolmates dating left and right, and watch those moments on TV where the couples are so close and just stare at each other before moving in for a kiss, I'm like, won't that be awkward??? o.O Just looking at each other like that, doing nothing but STARE~ And what about the actors and actresses that play the part? UTTERLY AWKWARD~ for me anyway :P but since they're professionals, they pulled it off perfectly~


        But then I can be sentimental when watching dramas and movies and all that. I feel sad when I see Troy and Gabriella dancing in Harvard (that's Harvard, right? I forgot :P) and know that they didn't get to dance together in school with their friends. Friends are important in life, too :'( But then I feel happy and somehow proud of them when they're able to be together again :) That reminds me, I just watched Shrek this morning, and I almost cried when I see how sad Shrek and Fiona are when they're apart :'( Tears welled up in my eyes and my throat hurt. I'm that easily moved :P Dad said my emotions are controlled by a box (the TV), and that I should not be like that. The same goes for songs, too o.O He learnt that, about how our emotions are easily influenced by others, in a workshop one time, where the host made them think of really sad thoughts and then really happy thoughts and switch to sad thoughts again, to show that we can actually control our emotions. Wish I could attend that workshop :P


        After watching HSM 3, HBO just HAS to broadcast Beastly at the same time as HSM =.= I missed most of the movie, dayum~ I haven't watch it before, I just read the book, but after watching some of the movie, I actually prefer reading about the story. See, Kyle wasn't exactly UGLY, just, his face in the movie is scarred and has weird tattoos all over. You can even say this guy looks like the artistic type who has gone through a bad ordeal or something, it's not like he's ugly to the point of being isolated by everyone, even though it totally shows in the movie; in the book, though, he was transformed into a real beast, complete with fur and claws and other beastly attributes. That, I can understand why he can't be seen in public. It makes more sense. Also, Vanessa Hudgens looks way older in Beastly, with the red lipstick and the fringe, very unlike HSM. In HSM, she looks prettier with the light makeup and the long, wavy 'do. Is she always portrayed as the beautiful and brainy female protagonists? XD Plus the movie doesn't feel like it has a climax to it, unlike in the books, where Kyle has to save Lindy from her father and gets shot in the process. Or maybe I missed it o.O 'cause towards the ending of the movie, it only shows that he took her to places and even gave her a letter but when she said that he's a "good friend" to her, he took it that she doesn't love him the way he loves her and got disappointed and mad and never answered her calls. It was only after they met up and kissed, that he turned back to his normal self with flawless facial skin and blonde hair. And that's it, he got the kiss, without having to sacrifice his life for her or face any danger or anything. It's that simple. End of the story. Though I like where Kendra made her appearance in an office, signing up for a job with a typical, ready-to-be-cursed boss, probably on her way to teach that guy a lesson that Kyle has learned. Go Kendra! XD


           Rain is rather heavy today, even at night, so air conditioning isn't needed much. Seems like there're floods in some parts of Penang and the traffic is jam as hell. No wonder some of my friends were late for the photo shoot/Leo meeting in school today o.O At least I got to cross the road, head over to the Summer Dessert Bakery and buy a raspberry mochi ^^ No chocolate mousse though :( They sell excellent chocolate mousse, with a macaron to top it off. I also bought a box of macarons for my brother, since that I finished off all 5 of them last time and he didn't get to try one :P Gomen gomen! I tend to have a sweet tooth.


         And now my whole time on Saturday is wasted. Again. I still have school work QAQ I didn't even get to play Skyrim on the PS3! TT^TT Ah well, time to hit the hay! Oyasumi!


   

Thursday 4 April 2013

Uta no Prince Sama: Maji Love 2000%, out!!!! X3

Wow! I didn't think it'd be that soon :D My friends just told me that they broadcast it today in Japan o>w<o plus my friends shared a video of their ending music video through Facebook, so yeah! I searched for it on Google and found a site to watch the first episode. At least it's English subbed already! I hate waiting for episodes to be subbed. It's torture when you have to watch your favourite anime with Japanese audio all the way and you don't understand what they're talking about and what the story's about because there are NO SUBTITLES!!! PURE, UTTER TORTURE! This language barrier must be teared down! >< Now where are those Dragon Claws.....?

             I'm still letting the video of the first episode to buffer, so in the meantime, I'll just share my thoughts on their ending PV. It's just as colorful and upbeat as the ending PV in the first season. The first time I watched the one in the first season, I saw the character model of the members of STARISH and thought that they seem typical, like those illustrations of hot male characters on the front cover of Chinese teen romance novels you can find in the Popular bookstores. And their song sounded more...like, an OST from a tween show? I dunno, it sounded so upbeat and cheerful it seemed more suitable for tweens to dance to, it doesn't sound cool or like those hip hop hits. I was about to say it's more for children to listen to, but then, that would mean the ending song must be childish. I'm sorry to say, that's actually my first impression of it >< Maji Love 1000% sounded like a dance song for elementary school kids, or those from junior high. I dunno :s Even their dance moves are so...well, something I never think hot male anime characters would have danced. =w=lll As much as I find it all as mentioned above, the song sort of grew on me, even up to now XD. Part of it is 'cause of my friends' influence, as they had to practice the song for a cosplay competition once and I ended up tagging along, memorizing the lyrics until I don't need the script now as I sing my heart out in my room alone for fun XD Though I still find the English used in their lyrics quite funny. "Saa, let's PEACE"? "Saa, let's SONG"? LOL! All in all, the song is fun to sing to :D


           The ending PV in season 2, though, again, starting with the first impression of it. New season, new song, plus the Aladdin of the series, Cecil, has joined the group :D The song is barely audible through the fan's screaming though @@ I have to strain my ears to listen to it. Instead of drawing hearts, they now stick with drawing a star in the air in front of them XD Omo, when Otoya sang the word 'I', he looked so sexy >//w//< And since that there're now 7 in the group, the pairings are all wrong now @@ It used to be Tokiya and Otoya, Ren and Masato, Syo and Natsuki. Now there's a threesome with Ren, Natsuki and Otoya, Syo ends up with Cecil, and both blue-haired boys Tokiya and Masato now dance together. But then..did you guys realize that they can use their initials to form the word STARISH?  Shinomiya Natsuki (S), Tokiya (T), Aijima Cecil (A), Ren (R), Ittoki Otoya (I), Syo (S) and finally Hijirikawa Masato (H)! so fun~~~ XD. The dances, though, they really trouble me >< I sense BL in these moves. Somersaulting is fine, but everything seems wrong when the threesome start with the pelvic thrusting, 3, no, wait, 4 times! OK, fine, maybe that was just me exaggerating. I mean, Michael Jackson did it, why can't they? BUT, when it's Syo and Cecil's turn, they totally placed their hands over their waists in a slow, brief moment. Like, what, the heck did I just see? @@ It looked BL-ish to me. And let's not forget, THE BUTT-SHAKING. The moving-your-butt-from-side-to-side part. Tokiya and Masato, whyyyyyy~~~~? Just seeing that makes me shudder >< It seemed so wrong. Sexy, but wrong =w=llll that'll be so awkward in real life >< I guess I'll have to stick around a bit longer for the song to be officially out. I can't stand the fans' screaming == I did notice Syo doing this funny dance, with his left leg sticking in and out and his hand over his head XD 


          Who knows? Maybe I'll come to accept their pelvic-thrusting, hands-wandering and butt-shaking for weeks to come after I watch more episodes.


     Maji Love 2000%! What do you think? 

          In the first episode, it shows that Nanami,STARISH and the rest of the students like Tomo-chan have graduated from Saotome Academy and started the Master Course in the Shining Agency. Whoah, that partial, brief shot of Cecil on a tree? HOT~ ((piak~ He has ABS~ Oh my Kami-sama~~~ >////w////< That dark-skinned angel~<3


          Typical of Nanami, getting lost on the first day =w=lll At least Otoya found her XD He even implies the fact that he likes her, saying how they're in the same dorm, and he now gets to sing her songs as a professional now. Oho~ wink, wink! He's so cute when he's embarrassed >w< Argh, embarrassed cute guys are hard to resist! And he's so friendly and fun, sigh~       


          Just when she reaches the door to the main entrance, Syo appears! :D He's as cute as ever, with his big blue eyes, blonde hair and signature hat :D Aw, he even lets her keep the DVD "The Prince of Fighting", saying that he wants her to keep the one he loves most. AWWWWWW~~~~ XD


         Then out pops Natsuki, resting under a tree amidst falling sakura blossoms in peace and serenity. He's so cute and funny, depicting Nanami as a Sakura Fairy, running up to her so energetically and hugging her in a manly way whilst pushing Syo aside far far away~~~ XD Poor Syo! Later on, she accidentally bumps into someone. Turns out that. It. Is. TOKIYA~~~~~~ kyaaaaaaa~~~~<3 The coolest, hottest among them all~~~ XD sorry, couldn't help myself :P Anyways, even though he's still cold and uses harsh words when speaking, that's just his way, can't be helped, I guess. He actually seems sweet when he gives her that softened gaze. Double AWWWWWWWW~~~ o>w<o


         I can't believe Nanami doesn't recognize Masato at first glance! He's in her new dorm room, and being the hygiene-sensitive music geek, he helps her clean the windows and tune her piano. Ooooo~ seems that Masato has feelings for her and he's hiding them and has to "stem these overflowing emotions". Wink, wink, wink! 


         Now that quiet Masato is out of the way, Nanami comes across a part of her dorm room that is full of beautiful, sparkling red roses (at least, it seems like it's sparkling, in the anime, though I'm pretty sure in real life, roses don't sparkle. Unless there's dew under sunlight or shining glitter XD). This beautiful, bountiful garden work is done by none other than sexy playboy Ren himself! He still calls her "Little Lamb" though =w=lll That nickname is so M! He planted this new type of rose and called it "Lady Haruka". Romantic, or just plain cheesy? :P but then he corners her until her back touches the wall and gets closer to her, sprouting such romantic lines about "planting the roses for him and her only" and "starting a new life together", and just mesmerizes her with his blue blue eyes until he gently kisses her on the cheek! Talk about fan-girl-ism! I'm a sucker for these romantic actions :P Is the Master Course too intense for you, or are the guys? haha XD


        Hoho! I sense competition between Ren and Masato when Ren mentions Nanami XD LOL, Otoya even blushes and seems to be in a blissful daze <3 And he gets embarrassed again! He even accidentally mentions thinking about how happy he is to be with Nanami! Dayum that guy~ XD How far do the guys' cuteness extend to??? I seem to mention them being cute too much :P Gomen gomen! Too bad Tokiya breaks the mood by dropping the gavel and be all "for idols, it's forbidden to love." Mood breaker :P It's a shame that they'll get fired if they're caught being in a relationship. Though Natsuki seems pretty happy about sleeping under the same roof with Nanami, too XD Flowers and sparkles dance around him as he expresses his happiness XD


       More music sheets written by Nanami! Six songs she composed! Hentai desu~~~ =3= as hentai as my schoolmates scoring 100% in Sejarah! But then, the Principal from Saotome Academy, who is also the President of the Shining Agency, suddenly announces his presence in that booming voice of his and pops out of nowhere! XD What's more hentai is that he suddenly presented four boys who sing "Poison Kiss" (hence the title of this episode) and apparently can "help them". Well, it IS four boys, right? So why do I only see 3 in the end? Where did the blonde guy pop off to? And what's with STARISH's reaction to their performance? Their work is as awesome as these guys! Maybe even better! So no excuses! ...or am I bias? O.O And what is up with the virtual purple screen and the four boys teleporting themselves and changing their gear from dance-stage worthy to casual??? Yet again, logic and reality are defied! 


         Hey, Ringo-sensei and Hyuuga-sensei are back and sparkling! XD Literally! Ringo's in glittery purple dress and Hyuuga in a sparkly suit. I still don't get why Ringo would want to dress up as a woman, when he's clearly a man =w=lll maybe he thinks being a man is too mainstream for his pretty looks? XD They then introduce and assign the 3 guys (I now only see three, weird o.O) to STARISH: Kotobuki Reiji, the brown-haired guy, to Otoya and Tokiya; Kurosaki Ranmaru, the cold guy with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes, to Ren and Masato; and Mikaze Ai, the one with turquoise hair, to Syo and Natsuki.


         Eh? @[]@ I jut realized that Ringo's outfit has shiny butterfly wings attached to the sleeves. Kirei~





         Competition again, this time a definite showdown between the seniors and STARISH. @@ This is gonna be epic~ OwOb Ran-Ran (haha) is so cold, even chillier than Tokiya and Masato combined @@ Brrrr~ and he doesn't even feel like teaching them :( Jeez, what's with that attitude? But at least STARISH is willing to work alone and climb to the top with all they got. Well, except for Otoya, who seem eager to learn from his assigned senpai, Reiji, who's quite nice."O-Otoyan"? "T-Toki"??? Nani sore???? @@ heyyy, how come the seniors get the big bed all to themselves and the rest have bunk beds instead??? =[]=lll No fair! I feel for them STARISH TT TT Ai seems like a nerd/researcher =w=lll E-Eto....schedule....? Is this necessary, Ai-senpai...?      


         Just looking at the framed flower cues Nanami into another encounter with hot-hot-hot-hot Cecil :D kya~ ^^ Thus ends the first episode.....WITH ANOTHER ONE OF MIYANO MAMORU-SAMA'S SONGS AS THE OPENING ASDFGHJKL~~~~~~~!!!!!! OMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMOOOOO~~~~ I'm SUPER hyper once I hear his voice~<3 He can hit the high notes better than me, the bastard~ XD The song is called Kanon, by the way :D







        And there goes the spoilers :P I apologize for excessive fan-girl-ism. Haha, couldn't help it =w=lll So I guess I'll sign off from here. What do you think of the first episode of season 2? :D And how about season 1? 


       Ja! Oyasumi!
