PoT episodes 136 onward...

Rewatching Prince of Tennis episodes 136 onwards 'cause I love the arc, and at episode 139, I was smiling like nobody's business at the comments. Looks like Tezuka's popularity hasn't diminished. ^^ TEZUKA'S BACK!!!!!! Maa, something like that. And of course episode 140-141 1 hour special is my favourite episode. Always been. Zutto.

Tezuka is still my favourite character in Tenipuri. And, from Hyoutei, my favourite character now is Choutarou, not Oshitari, 'cause Choutarou-kun is so cute! Rikkai...hmm...either Yukimura or Niou or Yagyuu...hey, from PoT fanbook 40.5 polls, they say Atobe won the most votes for "Who do you want as your significant other?". Second was Niou, third Fuji. Ah...Niou, he's geki dasa daze!

Minna, yudan sezu ni ikou!

Always love the song by Pull Tab to Kan...haha...Wonderful days...

Catchphrases
Atobe: Oresama no bigi ni yoi na!
Sanada: Tarudoru~!
Tezuka: Yudan sezu ni ikou!

The movie will be released in 2005. Tezuka: yudan sezu ni ikou! *imitates Atobe* Hello, nothing else to say, eh, Tezuka?

Another nice episode: episode 142. Kikumaru-Ootori vs Oishi-Shishido. I've been wanting to watch this, again and again. Because Kikuaru-Ootori pair is so cute! How Kikuaru dispels Choutarou's worries like that. Eiji is so cute! Haha...comments, comments. I think so too.

I didn't know there was a commentary for OVA 16, and a damn hilarious one at that. Translations are linked, credits to the user.

I should go and search for interesting tenipuri clips over Youtube, which somehow has quite a number...=) I actually found one hilarious clip from someone's livejournal post, and honestly, who won't laugh?

Who cares if the website is Spanish? The translationas are linked here, feel free to read up and laugh. But, I don't like to think of them as yaoi...always gives me the bajeepers just seeing all the shonen ai around. Not that I can't accept, but I think they best be straight, haha...

Pinnacle of Perfection

No matter what, I really must write this even if it's a spoiler. Prince of Tennis chapter 376: Ryoma's feelings towards tennis has opened the last door, Ten'imuhou no Kiwami, aka Pinnacle of Perfection!

Credits to onemanga.com. I really want to cry when I saw Ryoma's determination, but it isn't half as bad as watching Taka-san play against Shitenhouji's Gin or Tezuka vs Sanada, how Taka-san wants to be the most powerful player (in terms of power), how Tezuka wants to win the Zenkoku taikai with his team. Very few things can make me feel that strongly, haha, but I guess the only event that really made me cry was the part where Naruto wanted to revive Gaara in Shippuuden. Both the anime and manga. I wouldn't give a damn when I watch live dramas, heh. Not even TeniMyu, which is fast coming to that part...in December?

The productions seem to begin in mid-August and continue for a period of time in one location, then move to other locations. That explains the different versions, hehe. Hmm, August should be HyouteiMyu again. I think it's nidaime Hyoutei. December be ShitenhoujiMyu? And will there be the yakiniku battle? I really love that arc, haha. But I doubt so. And RikkaiMyu be split into two? Ah~ I WILL rewatch TeniMyu even when it ends. I enjoy the songs and the humour nya. Gosh, the backstage videos cracked me up! But it's sweet that they celebrate their friends' birthdays. ^^

I'm the 先冷后热 type. Meaning: usually cold and calm, but encountering some things will stir up the agitated side of them. Haha, true, true...

RikkaiMyu

My mistake. Rikkai Second Service with subs is already out on tudou.com. Same user. She uploaded on 23 Dec 2007 I guess. Took me long enough... -_-

网舞8立海大feat六角Second Service

http://www.tudou.com/playlist/playindex.do?lid=1302210&iid=12682623

I think HigaMyu will be out in April?

I feel like rewatching the backstage clips for Rikkai First Service. It's the funniest so far, hehe...other than HyouteiMyu and Dream Live 3rd. Ah, more humour in the backstage clips! It's in 网舞8立海大feat六角Second Service日替 -- especially the parts where the Rikkai members want Sanada to accept the runner-up trophy. Niou or Yagyuu: Sanada-kun~~ Jackal emo over the runner-up trophy, Marui imagining how Yukimura might react, and Yanagi is the funniest! Genichirou, very sorry. Genichirou, very sorry. Genichirou, very ???...*chants as he holds the trophy* Eh, his speech becomes slurred and unclear until it becomes something different altogether...The best is still Yagyuu dialling the organisers telling them about returning the trophy because Sanada couldn't accept it. Oo...there is also the Supporters DVD vol.6之58千秋乐version, aired on Sep 9 in another location. Cool. Two versions! ^^ I'll watch some other time; right now, I just want to watch the funny interview clips and backstage antics!

Tezuka: Alright, gather! *Seigaku gathers very near* Too close! XD

Taka-san will turn 26 this year! lol. Arigatou gozaimashita, sandaime Seigaku! Ganbare, yondaime Seigaku!

Okay, now for PoT ova 18 and 19. Ecstasy!!! Yay, Tezuka! Jitoku no Kiwami! Tezuka's the man! He's so cool when he plays! Atobe's hair looks horrifying...gosh...I think Atobe fans must be glaring at Ryoma for shaving them off. LOL. Don't worry, it'll grow back. Choutarou is so cute!

Sasu ga buchou. 6 games to 1! Nice game, Tezuka-buchou.

Rikkai pretending to lose at singles three (Yagyuu) and doubles two (Jackal-Marui) to gear Kirihara up. Yukimura is so calm. Yep, teach their kouhai. Bloodshot! Gosh, a bloody Kirihara is demonic. Demon Akaya. But he's pretty cute when he's innocent. *whistle* Yanagi's English is good! Puri. Should ask Yagyuu to speak too, since he's good in every subject.

Inui's data grin is scary...

Tezuka's so steady during the court-blowing attack by Kintarou. Ball split in half.

Fuji...his eyes look scary...

Will they have the yakiniku batoru in the anime too? I remember rolling on the floor laughing my ass off at the absurdity of the yakiniku, especially Inui's concoctions! Let's go!

Yakiniku! Yakiniku! *chants*

I am strong enough to take the fact that Tezuka lost to Sanada in the finals. How about you? Are you strong enough to accept the ending of Yukimura vs Ryoma?

Rikkai backstage

Yatta! Rikkai Second Service backstage! Haha...I must certainly rewatch the whole thing when the subs are out...for now, let me laugh at their antics...=) Kya, Minami-kun! I think they look better as themselves, lol. Almost couldn't recognise them when I was watching...haha...

Prince of Tennis OVA 18 and 19 are out! No subs yet, but yeah, cool! Tezuka rocks! Lol...

Furukawa Yuuta is pretty! But in a rather effeminate manner. Aiba is pretty too, but he's cool. And Hamao Kyousuke makes a cute Kikumaru! I love his smile! Watanabe Daisuke makes a good Tezuka too - good-looking nya. ^^ Woot, nice hair.

Ermm...I don't remember seeing 'On My Way' in the uploaded version on Rikkai 2nd Service. Maybe it's another day? Nande, I prefer 'On My Way' to 'FGKS'...Or did they feature some from First Service?

Inui vs Yanagi: 2 games to love in...Jan-ken-pon.

What's with Aiba becoming Tezuka and wearing glasses? Oi, I'm still getting nightmares from the previous Rikkai backstage clips of Minami repeating his 'Kunimitsu desu.' *shudders* And yeah, some parts weren't included, like Yujimura's sadistic speech: "Sanada...runner-up huh? 'Waiting undefeated for your return', was it?" I think he's going to give Sanada and the Rikkai boys hell when he comes back.

I like the version with the grad speech. Don't cry, sandaime Seigaku! Looks like Minami is steady...and I want the version with 'On My Way'!!!! It's my favourite finale song! Nice choreography too. I got to watch the clip in backstage [part 6] and [part 7].

And so, nidaime and sandaime Seigaku found their way into the fans' hearts...Tenimyu saikou! Tenimyu daisuki!

Lunar New Year 2008

Happy New Year to all Chinese out there, and to everyone else as well! ^^

Absolute King Rikkai ~Second Service is nice, though too serious! The only funny part was [part 9] Bane's speech onwards. Rikkai's song sounds so dangerous. Nice dance, Seigaku! They retell the doubles match from First Service. Cool, as expected from Seigaku, they sing of encouragement and perseverance. Ah, I see Minami Keisuke, Aiba Hiroki, Oujisama (Yagami Ren), Baba Toru, and the Rikkai guys are good-looking too. I do think Niou's actor and Yanagi Renji's actor are cute. Dunno why, I thought Tenimyu's Sanada looked a little like Jay Chou...haha...miss Seigaku 2nd cast and Hyoutei cast. I'm so tempted to skip Inui-Yanagi's match and move forward, but I might miss out any memorable parts. Data Tennis. I'm still having nightmares from First Service backstage, lmao. Nearly died laughing my ass off, especially at Taka-san!

Inui: ore wa zettai ni makenai!

Luckily they did show the part where Sanada was about to slap Yanagi for losing. Thanks, Akaya! Now, get on with the singles match, darn it! =) Fuji vs Kirihara.

I should watch this again when the subtitles are out. Yeah, I can understand, but I try not to rely on instinct - mine doesn't do well. Haha, actions speak louder than words, I've watched the anime before, I know what's going on. ^^ I want to watch the Backstage videos next. ^^

That's the Rikkai uniform?! With blazer? Kakkoi! [part5] Fuji can't see, so he relies on his senses. Luckily he's not playing against Yukimura - that Rikkai buchou robs opponents of their senses. Ganbare, Ryoma! Muga no Kyouichi! [part 6] It's so cute how Niou pats Yanagi's head when he apologises for losing! Can't wait for Sanada's Fuurin Kazan. Whoo, thanks for the data, Yanagi.

Ryoma: *En* Is that so? Great, whatever you say.

[part 7] Honestly, a laughing Sanada sure sounds psychotic. Mada mada dane.

Omae ga Seigaku ni hashira ni nare. You are Seigaku's Pillar of Support? Hmm...is that Higa Chuu? Looks menacing and gothic, all purple. Even the music sounds so Arabic. Is that Luke C playing Kite? Wah, the pitch of his voice sounds like Aiba's. I don't mind, unlike some of the users. Not his fault anyway. Wonder when HigaMyu will be released. I want to know how Seigaku 4th cast look like.

The dances are nice! I always love the ending songs. So going to miss Seigaku 3rd cast too. Fight on, Get on, Keep on, Step up! F.G.K.S

February 2008

February. Lunar New Year is arriving soon. Yesterday was ahband's concert L'amore di Musica. I think it means "love of music" or something...anyway, the band sounded kinda good, though I did catch mistakes from my section...The sec 2s and 3s sound promising, ha, but pray hard they can keep it up.

Damn, I must work hard on MY band now...*evil grin* Oh, there were comments that I was scary when I conducted for the first time two weeks ago. Discipline from ahband, thank you. I don't want to slave myself to the bone worrying about getting my homework done and all. Nah, I'm quite fast, but still not up-to-date yet, and my tests...hmm...mada hayaiyo. *sp?*

I think I want to try keeping long hair for once, as in, longer than shoulder-length. I've never grown beyond that before, always cutting it when it's troublesome. Mendokuse na.

Two tests on Tuesday. Chemistry and Geography. Nice, always these two on the same day. THought I'ld get used to it. Apparently not. People will choose one and forgo the other, usually their H1. Sorry, I'm keeping both. ALl subjects are important, there's no giving up on one.

Can't wait to watch Absolute Rikkai Second Service on New Year - I'm saving the musical for that day. Subs or not, I'll see what I can understand. Wonder if tudou has...
