Hey, welcome back. That package... still not here yet. The "August Otaku Package"? Sounds like a great name too I'm going to be doing this more often anyways considering I just clicked on Kitou Akari's live tour goods online as soon as I saw them dammit they selling their CDs again but with special signed bromides and they are all SO GOOD!!! Okay, my inner idolism fan is showing. *laughs* Well, I'm not really an Anime fan but when people say you watch Anime they think you watch everything haha what idiots

Let's start shall we? I need to be confessed to by Ruka-chan now haha

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"An umbrella? That's unusual." "It's to prevent ageing" That's what all girls say Laurent haha

Now that I think about it: Do we even have air races in Singapore? Haha that fly by from the plane is so fake I can't even. Firstly, you think you'll get permit to fly through ALL the bridges in Marina Bay and through Gardens By The Bay AND the towers?? *laughs* Okay, in this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER07) where if you give our government enough money they will actually allow an air race to happen in city central lol, the crew's in Singapore. Yes, the crew meaning the super not real crew meant to ruin lives and earn a shitload of money from rich oil dudes in this second arc of the season. First things first though, it's still very unreal I'm having to talk about my own country in an Anime. We've done that many times before, actually for the first time back in 2014 in "Plastic Memories" in certain scenes (in fictional Japan lol I wish) and even in 2011 in "C" (where Singapore literally disappeared haha), but not quite a much as this series, to be honest. So, story. Firstly, about the actual race, and what is in disguise. From what we have learnt last week after Makoto subjected himself into Laurent's scheme again (more on that later), we know that Sam and his brother (I'm not bothered to learn of that guy's name anyways lol so I'll just refer to the one) were abandoned princes of oil tycoons, have then picked up the air race tournament which retired to now, use it as a way to promote sports entertainment where every race is rigged and those who defy against the current winner ie. the brother, will get eliminated. Like really, wheelchair forever type of eliminated. So just saying, be careful out there Abbie. Even then, this is how they made the races exciting every time, but after the one "rival" "backed out" in the previous race due to "accidental injuries" haha (ikr), the races sort of gotten "less exciting", as the races could use a new "rival" to spice up- Okay this part was all Laurent haha or should I say, Makoto after he spammed the heck out of social media on the brother's easy win every time. But still, after hearing the backstory... you feel bad now? We can do them some justice now, right, Makoto? *laughs* So yeah, let's do it, Abbie. And that's why they are here to teach them a lesson, I suppose. Then, we talk about the plan where we will see to win. So, the objective here is obviously, take them down. Winning the race might not be that important, but we shall see how that takes a factor once Abbie gets over her past lol more on that soon, but yeah, their motive here is to try to ramp up excitement for the race, and to suck up to Sam so they can, in turn be "controlled" so to be able to take down those guys who have been enjoying this too much it's killing people who do charity like that Lewis who ended up in a wheelchair. Cynthia is hot, she tries to talk some sense into Sam, and... I guess it doesn't work on him, huh. Still, Abbie does have some talent with her, they are booming over social media as the only female participants in the face (In your face, feminism! And Sam haha), so she wins her opponent in qualifying even if Sam does not have the intentions to let them through. But now, I guess we shall see what happens in the finals, if all their plans go well, or if whoever rigged each other's engines first lol. Hey, that's a last resort, people; Remember we are here for money, not taking over their empire which may or may not fall after this lol. Lastly, about Abbie. Abigail (but Abbie sounds cuter and I know she'll point the middle finger on me but) Jones here, has a backstory. Not very obvious yet, but it's rather dark. We see she has been noticing the audience on two people, maybe people who look like her parents, who also may have been lost some time ago, appearing in front of her. Probably a ruse for Sam's side but maybe a coincidence, but this is more than enough to affect the pilot. We also saw glimpses of her terrible past maybe being hunted by terrorists(?), as a kid and even in a period of time where she's one of them too? Wow, I really can't piece this together Anime thanks to making this so confusing I have to be tempted to find out next episode on Netflix lol. (Hey, guess who else is the promoter here haha) So yeah, you get the idea, we'll only know the seriousness of this factor on Laurent's plan soon enough, but suffice it to say it's rather complicated. Adding in what Laurent mentioned at the end that she did all this just so she can die... we may have quite a story to tell after all this is over or even before, if it's not just like her thoughts align with these guys so she's putting forth her efforts to help deal with bad guys around the world lol did I nail that? *laughs* We shall see then, who will be the winner of this round. My bet is on Laurent's team, but the odds are so low here I rather not bet haha cya guys in the finals

[I think we need a dose of middle finger every week haha I'll never get sick of that- *pukes* haha]

P.S. "You do it too!" Haha Laurent eating Chinese food (which does not exist in Singapore FYI that's a pure America thing) while Makoto sending harsh comments on social media for the air race lmao

P.P.S. "You're a swindler by nature" Hmm Laurent's not wrong though but I would say sir, he was raised to be like this ever since he thought of cheating his way through life. You just got lucky to pick an idiot who will listen to your social justice troubles lol

[Now is another good time to show what is NOT in Singapore from images of Singapore in Anime]

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

"Is this what (going to cat cafe) feels to be like for married men to go to cabaret clubs?" Uh I don't get that Uzaki-chan but haha

Is she kicking him because he likes cats more than her? Haha this Anime is great. In this new episode of (#UzakiChan07) whatever this porno is about lmao, we... go outdoors. *laughs* Hey, it's already not normal for the indoor nerd Sakurai, but you know, cats aren't at his place so he gotta go to them. So yeah, that's what happened. So firstly, to the cat cafe. Because Sakurai wants to. You know, because previously we let him touch a cat and it got him high, so now he wants more. Why do we sound like drug dealers lol anyways, that's what Uzaki-chan is here for. To teach him to get around cats with his scary face and... well, everything about him that is creepy so that the staff won't get the wrong idea haha. Still, Sakurai had a good time with a cat on his lap until his feet got numb, and... they got kicked out because Uzaki was bullying him too much lmao. Then, it's the payback. Well, in money, at the pub, it seems, for Uzaki's 20th birthday. As you would have remembered in Episode 1, it was only until Uzaki was in university for 2 years later ie. on her 3rd year, that she decided to her senpai's indoor life so yeah, on average you graduate from Japan high school at 17 and enter college at 18, so that makes perfect sense. But instead of worrying about how this happened, Sakurai was stuck with the supposed hint of what he has to give her for a birthday. I mean, the obvious thing would be "a good time" lmao since she asked for it, but I guess he did think too much and thought of buying a present for her or something. Which of course, the staff in the cafe found out real quick that Uzaki will take anything for a present anyways lol that's actually true right there. But, in spite of all this, Uzaki still wants to get drunk, on her 20th birthday because who doesn't do that amirite?? *raises hand* Haha anyways, (then again I didn't expect to get laid hang out with a female coursemate more than ever half a year after my 3rd year in college so...) (that is not my 20th birthday lol) Uzaki learnt first hand from the senpai on how to drink, but you know, as a first time, you gotta learn how to (1) enjoy alcohol with good food so Sakurai's wallet is empty by the time they get out, (2) drink so much alcohol you just keep drinking even if they left the place and she just continues at his place with convenience store beer lol, and (3) learn of the consequences as you go and puke in the toilet for the 20th time this morning hey happy 20th birthday Uzaki. *laughs* Again, if that is what getting drunk is like, I just hope the only reason I will be drinking it someday (yes alcohol virgin right here) is that it'll cure of my current ailments, like say, alcohol boosts my immune system so I can stand the cold or something lmao. But yeah, other than that reality check, drunk-sounding Oozora Naomi is the best haha I wonder if she sounds like this in real life or if she ever gets drunk lol. I suppose if you're in Japan you cannot not drink alcohol because of the sheer cold weather and alcohol's power to warm up our bodies. Next week's summer festival, I suppose, and those two pairs of glasses are already prepared to observe what's going to happen on that special day normally only reserved for couples if you give a damn haha it's on season too so why not

P.S. "Wow, he's creepy" For once, Uzaki-chan, I agree with you haha

P.P.S. "Save that play for when you are at home" lmao imagine if Ami-chan was the staff she would've kept her mouth shut and we would have this for the whole episode so thanks girl haha
[More images because I used it all on Sakurai and Uzaki deserves some love]

アニメ Kanojo, Okarishimasu

"How did you find that out?" "I can't say" Haha again, I swear Ruka-chan knows of rental girlfriends because she is one haha whatever

Hey, they say the Anime couples that got accidents touching each other always end up together, right? I base that on my decade of Anime watching experience haha but like seriously though. Also, what did I tell you? *laughs* In this new but all fake episode (#KanoKari07) where we already know Kuri-san can't get himself such a great girlfriend without coming up with the origin story just like Kazuya (haha), yeah SPOILER ALERT BUT Ruka-chan's a rental. So yeah, touching up her so far... Kazuya I think you have to pay her for her services or else she can sue you for sexual harassment. *laughs* Yes, even the recording of confession to not leak your current situation haha. This week's quite the progression so let's go straight to it. Firstly, the accidents. I mean, Kazuya, if you don't want to get yourself into more trouble then just go home, but yeah, he had made Ruka-chan confirm that his relationship with Chizuru is more or less, fake. Well, we'll get to how fake that is later, but suffice it to say Ruka-chan has something planned. And for anyone who has eyes even but even for the blind, should know that the girl wants something. And it's not Kuri-san. Talking about him... *laughs* Okay, that for later, but yeah now we know why she knows Chizuru's a rental. Because obviously, coming from someone on the same line of work. And yes, Kuri, we know you have been lying since last week. The double date is great though, don't get me wrong, but it's just not real. *laughs* Moving on, the confrontation (sort of) with his buddy. Yeah, they killed him good. Well, Ruka-chan did. The girl was aggressive on meeting him as the guy was trying to meet up with his friend to you know, monitor them so they won't spill the beans about these two (man, this complication haha), ended up in a situation where Kuri got hurt real good. Well, he got found out, thanks to Ruka-chan who can't keep her mouth shut unlike the other one lol. Hey, that's what happens when you didn't bring the rental to see your grandmother. *laughs* Anyways, Kuri is the loser in this, Ruka-chan found out she's high in front of Kazuya, and Kazuya... knows someone likes him. I guess that's pretty obvious, but not until she has to appear in front of his place where his neighbour is listening to their conversation, so yeah. it's real drama right now haha. In Ruka's confession to Kazuya, she blackmails them for their secret of being together in the face of everyone else, in exchange for, you guessed it, Kazuya going out wit her. Also, Ruka-chan is right: if Kazuya cares so much for a "rental girlfriend" (lol) then he'll care for a real one more. I mean, just ask Mami-chan. *laughs* Okay Ruka-chan if you don't know how much of a perv he is... haha. Other than that though, I can see why Ruka-chan is so desperate now (at this stage lol) to go out with him. The... ending theme animation kind of gave it away but still. (I doubt they can fit this into the actual roll which is why, but hey, special ending) The desperation went so far as to maybe not concerned about the blackmail too, as the main two discuss on how to deal with her, with Kazuya even suggesting so far as to tell his buddy about his secret so to settle things out and not have to go out with his buddy's... "girl", if you get the idea. But no, she found out, she really wants to go out with him, and she got rejected real good. But really, being found out your girlfriend is fake and then going out with her? Kuri will be crying for the whole of next episode lmao. But yeah, that also broke Ruka though. Man, what to do?Seriously, when's the last time we saw some guy make a girl cry? Ah yes, it was NakiNeko with Miyo-chan. Kazuya, you jerk. *laughs* So, as a final discussion, since Chizuru can't live with the reputation tarnishing anyways, and Kuri's better off not knowing the truth that he's been betrayed by two people lol, Kazuya agrees to go on a trial date with her. Free of charge anyways haha. Also, Ruka-chan, can you quit your part-time job now? Kazuya doesn't want his parents to know he's been spending all his allowance on girls haha Chizuru not you too? *laughs* The ending animation also revealed a little about Ruka-chan's past, seeing how she has been disciplined to not be excited over everything as a kid possibly due to a heart condition or maybe asthma (as seen by the mother confiscating her portable game console) (mommy why) (ikr she would've been a great gamer at this rate lol), to how she literally became emotionless even sitting on a roller coaster and of course, as a rental girlfriend dating all those old dudes Ruka-chan why are you doing that though. I suppose, in search of the one who will make her heart flutter again. I mean, physical contact is what you're lacking, Ruka-chan. Just let everyone you date touch your boobs. Yes, even Kuri-san. *laughs* (You're welcome, Kuri) So next episode is Christmas? "As for your Christmas present, would I suffice?" Yes, Ruka-chan, you and everything. You want a Christmas sex party? Let's do it haha okay cya next week

[TL:DR; Is it just me or is Chizuru's appeal dropping because she's being more serious and not cute now or is it because Ruka-chan is here?? Haha I don't know]

P.S. "Sarashina Ruka. Younger sister-type idol girlfriend" Wow and I just want a younger sister haha well Naobou might be older than me but still (okay 11 months difference I can totally live with that hehe)

P.P.S. "I don't know how to face Kuri the next time I see him" I mean, you two can just continue faking it. *laughs*

[But seriously, I think we've peaked. In load and in amount of tissues lol Ruka-chan if Kazuya doesn't want you WANTYOU WANTYOU I WANT YOU!! Haha that's a PE'Z reference also more Ruka-chan!!]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was quite the week in Klassic Note, unlike last week which I thought was this week lmao. Okay, about new songs. vivid undress' new mini-album surprisingly was good for rest of the album even though the topic song didn't hit me immediately but that doesn't mean I didn't give that either. May have a little more pop elements on it because you're major and they don't like Rock bands who stay in that one genre forever so they gotta explore a little more I guess. FLOWER FLOWER's new single... I guess I'll just give the one I was here for anyways. Really, the music video isn't a factor in that decision because the song itself is very summer-like. I could use one of those for this year since there aren't technically any yet haha

On Twitter music news from beyond and now (I, uh, re-arranged the words lol), in case you missed Suzuki Masayuki's live performance on YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE (you'll get it when you reach there), don't ask me how Kotoyama-sensei (author of Dagashi Kashi and now) for "Yofukashi no Uta" collaborated with yorushika (yes we talked about the album a month ago) for a music video which is somewhat animated since manga, Ikimonogakari is slowly releasing all their music videos in full on YouTube so yay, nano.RIPE is collaborating with voice actress Itou Kanae for their upcoming best album music video (we'll get to their album when we have to), and finally GLIM SPANKY is releasing a new album due October. Let's hope it's good lol

So for next week, the highly anticipated (not by me) the peggies' new single for Anime "KanoKari" is... well if you heard the music video, we might be safe for now, so let's see if the rest of the single would be good. 

Yeah I'm good for the week. Accidentally stumbled upon a manga series which released 2 volumes called "Oshite Dame Nara Oshite Miro!" (If You Can't Force It, Just Force It!) and read like a couple of chapters of it and I must say I'm enjoying it haha definitely not shoujo manga genre because this wouldn't happen lol very similar in circumstances to "Yofukashi no Uta" (Song of the Late Night) though from Kotoyama-sensei, I would argue. One is a snake and one is a vampire, for starters. I SWEAR if I'm Japanese in an alternate life now I would be reading manga all damn day instead of... playing stupid mobile games haha no seriously. Which also explains why I read that haphazardly and didn't bother to write anything above this paragraph haha. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I'm thinking of pre-ordering Natsukawa Shiina's new single PURELY because of special gift bromides hehe, but then again I bought a lot for Kito Akari's live tour goods so I think I'm good for now lol bye

P.S. Those two singles (and that one magazine) still stuck in Japan somehow. Well, I just hope it'll make it by the end of the week so I don't have to do it next month not like my work life is any more busier that month but

P.P.S. Now I see why Japan puts their magazine editions a month later than actual because of people like me. *laughs*
