OOO Den-O All Riders

http://www.4shared.com/folder/-kCLUcdQ/Kamen_Rider_OOO.html

Listening to them sing is kinda interesting.

Planning to watch Delicious Gakuin when I've the time. I wanted to watch it last time but I kinda forgot about it...>< Maa, well, it's because of the actors. I know more than half the cast, and Miura Ryosuke is so bloody cute here I think I'm getting cavities just listening to him add English and French to the end of his sentences. After my dose of Ankh sexiness I think I like him all badass and oozing confidence better haha.

Now I remember where I really first saw him. Tokyo Ghost Trip. Him and his baby face.

=====

I can see why Den-O is so popular. Time-travel = crossovers with other Kamen Rider. And Momotarous is so hilarious - "I don't know what Greed, but I know I'm Great!" HAHA so hilarious, especially when he himself became an arm! OH MY ANKH-MOMO CROSS!!! NOW THAT'S SO BLOODY COOL!!! Though the voice coming out from Ankh is so weird haha. And the expression *snickers* Prefect crossover. XDDD But I'm so amused, one mishap after another. Makes victory all the sweeter ^^

HAHAHA THEY HAD TO GIVE 3 MINUTES TO W'S INTRODUCTION WTFFFFF But SHOUTATOU!!! PHILIP!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDD

Taka Imagin Shocker Combi = TAMASHII WTSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOLOLOL

I feel like watching Den-O now.

Fourze

I will find all the Kamen Rider OOO movies to watch during the weekends. But I won't abandon my anime of course. I'll watch them later. ^^

On to Fourze~ Wow, how many people are there in the club?! Fourze = Force??? Yuki is so cute and hyper haha.

ASTRONOMY. I LIKE =3 Zodiacts. Zodiacs LOL WTF I don't believe I'm actually learning the horoscopes and star constellations throught tokusatsu. If you tell me there are 88 Zodiacts altogether I'll flip tables. Then again, this is Japan. They come up with the most interesting eye-opening things.

HetaDay 2012 + Kamen Rider OOO

Haha, HetaDay 2012. I'm willing to be an organizer and helper if VAS is involved. Not sure about cosplaying Norway because I'll be in Year 4 and dealing with FYP, but I usually prefer the behind-the-scenes work. More fun setting up than being the star. Sorry, I may be Leo, but I always turn away from the limelight. Nothing like controlling from the shadows ^^



I like action-packed series, because the music is always so epic. Yeah, I like it better if the character songs reflect the mood as well.

I support AnkhXEiji because they make an interesting pair. Kinda like Shoutarou and Philip hahaha. It's always nice to be working in a pair because the interaction is so interesting. But seeing Miura Ryosuke so badass is refreshing ^^ The first time I saw him appear in a Kamen Rider series, it was Decade I believe? And a brat at that. XDDD

I swear, Kamen Rider OOO is growing on me already. Nothing like a good bro fight. Dammit, the bromance is so thick a clean slice with a knife would split it in half. So, on my belt I've Kiva, Decade, W and OOO. Will be adding Fourze to my list...I'll watch OOO.Den-O.All Riders movie after I'm caught up with Fourze. Nothing like a good movie to look forward to on a Friday night.

The ending for OOO is so bittersweet. Seeing spectral Ankh following Eiji around gave me that bittersweet feeling.

Continuing Kamen Rider OOO

I realise I haven't been catching up on Kamen Rider, so I decided to continue watching OOO from where I left off. Will be good multitasking for my report too.

Wow, even someone's desire for justice is still considered a desire. See how the world is in shades of grey??!! I think, that kind of obsessive desire for justice, to rid the world of bad guys, well...certainly if it teachers people to be kinder and more considerate to others, I'll say it's good. But faulting everyone for the most trivial things is a little too extreme. If the world is perfect....er, what exactly is a perfect world? What exactly is utopia? That world will never exist.

Ara, OOO.Den-O.All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders movie! I see that the all time favourite Kamen Rider Den-O is here to stay. Everyone loves them. I haven't watched Den-O because I started from Kiva, but all the Kamen Rider movies that cross-overed with Den-O, I've probably watched them all. Haha.

My favourite are still Kiva and W, haha. Decade was okay (watching only because of the Tenimyu dudes.) I have a feeling they ran out of names to name their Kamen Rider. Fourze? Hahaha, I think I'll watch that after I finish OOO. A little hard for me to pick a manga to read because I'm supposed to read Loveless, Pandora Hearts, Sket Dance, Persona 4, Chihayafuru, Kimi ni Todoke, GetBackers, Samurai Deeper Kyo...and goodness knows what other manga I have on my list.

Maybe it's time for me to create said list.

FictionJunction and Kalafina ^^

FictionJunction and Kalafina. ^^ I have no preference for artistes as long as I enjoy listening to the music. So far, I love Matsushita Yuya, Kagrra, FictionJunction, Kalafina, Shikata Akiko, Yoshioka Aika and I like w-inds, .

I gotta get my FictionJunction albums soon....

=====

Question, does anyone want to be my singer for Michiyuki or Sakurane ballad? I swear I'll learn Sakurane ballad like mad, or just come up with my own version. My progress for Senbonzakura is there and not there, haha. I just need to practise more.

=====

Oh, oh, Un-Go's ending song has a nice piano tune! 8D

Brahms, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven otome drama CDs. I think my brains melted.

Brahms: Suwabe Junichi
Bach: Kakihara Tetsuya
Mozart: Namikawa Daisuke
Beethoven: Toriumi Kousuke

*prods sticky, gooey mess*

Yes, definitely melted. Choutarou as Mozart, my life is complete. (Choutarou can be Mozart or Liszt, just one of the pro composers since he's the musically talented one. And he's so cute I love him to bits~) Atobe should be Wagner, but there're only four composers here. *sigh* If I were to name all the composers I want to hear voiced in drama cds, I think my brain will evaporate.

I still want to write a story....I want an urban fantasy story, and a general story. Especially urban fantasy - I love the mythological creatures around, from European gods to Asian deities. I think it's going to be a mishmash of cultures......hmmm......

Chihayafuru

Chihayafuru certainly is interesting. I think, competition-based manga or anime have that excitement like any other sports and action-packed manga and anime I watch. Hey, I haven't felt that excitement since Tenipuri (Shin Tenipuri doesn't give me that though. Sad) and Eyeshield 21 until Kuroko no Basuke came into the picture.

Let's say, I like series which can give me that adrenaline rush.

Don't blame me. I'm reading Chihayafuru manga now. Arata is so cool~ (his Kansai-ben in the anime is so cool!) I'd rather ArataXChihaya than TaichiXChihaya, but ArataXChihayaXTaichi is fine too XDDD I can't bear to separate them, so I'll rather they be together than separated. Yeah, I dislike having to pick one over the other, why not just share? XDDD

I want to write a story........OAO

=====

I should keep tabs on favourite vocaloid composers. ShigotoshiteP's Tsugai Kogarashi got me interested in finding more oriental genre music. KuroUsa's Senbonzakura is my favourite. SeikoP just astounded me with the RPG-like music. The first I heard was Queen Nereid.

This picture is awesome. I wonder if we can do mafia shoot as a theme? Because they're badass. ^^ *influenced by KHR -bricked-* Yeah, it doesn't need to be restricted to Hetalia desho? ^^

I like characters with a hidden side; not say two-faced personality, more like a hidden side to their usual selves. Like they're more powerful than they seem. Makes them all the mysterious and badass doesn't it? ^^

Badass, cool, I don't give a damn.

Meh, my hair is getting too long. I've no time to cut it though. Next Wednesday is our VAS Halloween dress-up. I've no idea what to go as, since my only possible dress-up is as Cheshire. And I've already lent it to Debs, at least the wig. I think I'll pop by Daiso and take a look what stuff there are available.

BYAKUYAAAAAAAAAA

Bleach manga is shit now, but for Byakuya I'll persevere. Tsukishima is an ass, but not as annoying as Ginjo. Even Aizen seems tolerable, well, like hell. I only like his long-haired bishie form. The rest of his transformations are disgusting.

Almost every series there'll be some bastard I dislike. To name a few, in Naruto I find Kabuto an absolute asshole. In Bleach I think it's Ginjo (Aizen was okay. Didn't like him, but I don't find him an ass). In KHR it was Daemon Spade. In Kuroko no Basuke it's that farker Kasuga. In Inuyasha I found Naraku irritating (can't he just die already??!!!). In Beelzebub Enma is just an irritating, extremely spoiled brat whom Kei will agree, is probably worse than the kids she sees around, CONSIDERING he is a demon prince.

I shall make a comparison of those bastards and see who I absolutely detest. Such that the first time I see him, it's instant dislike. So far, I can't stand Kabuto, but Kasuga's rising rapidly on my list as the chapters go. I didn't like him the first time he appeared, and now the dislike is growing stronger, so much that if I have the ability to enter the manga world, I'd have kneed him where it hurts.

Ukyo takes over

My mood turned sour. What's done is done. Lesson learnt: Never assume anything, never take anything for granted. I paid the price.

If there's a next time, I'll turn into Ukyo.

He's so bipolar I want to hug him and tell him it's alright. I can pull off psychotic (not in expression though, meh. I'm a calm psycho. Need to work on expression OTL), but I can't turn my eyes into pinpricks - dude, my contact lenses are 16.2mm, no way can I do that haha. I like how vivid the green is. ^^ But I think I love my red better - makes me look scarier, especially when I smile.

That's because I don't look scary. ^^ It's a good thing - don't judge a book by its cover, yes? Damn, everyone keeps forgetting. Ah well, let it be a rude awakening then. I can't be bothered with constant reminders. Makes the surprise all the more shocking.

*whistles and walks away*

I was annoyed yesterday.

Then after double-checking, I realise ALL of them wear heels. Damn, what's the point of me getting worked up for =.= Well, besides the fact that I withdrew from cosing Ikki SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE RELATIVE HEIGHT SINCE I'M OUT OF THE PICTURE. When I measure height I EXCLUDE the hair and hats, otherwise it isn't fair.

It's clear that Shin < Toma < Ikki < Kent < Waka. I'll say Ukyo is taller than Kent. If you remove Ukyo's hat and flatten Kent's hair, Ukyo IS taller. By the way, BOTH wear heels.

I know I'm harsh and critical, and I don't give a damn, but regarding things I really love, I am absolute, stubborn as heck and will rarely tolerate anyone trying to challenge my judgment. Usually I won't care, but if it involves me personally, I'll wring the details dry in order to prove my point.

Before I slip into a bad mood (and yes my mood is slowly turning foul), I shall stop here. Like they say, it takes 4 muscles to extend my arm and smack that idiot, in nicer terms.

Calm down, Gin, calm down~

I think this is pretty cool. ^^ But, but, Kinzou!! OAO The character I most want to cos is Kinzou haha. But Natsuo is complaining I'm always doing the side characters, at least, those that get lesser limelight in the story.

=====

I think I'm obsessed with the word Senbonzakura urghhhh ><

=====

Kaito: *Einstein face*

=====

I want a DN Angel cosplay, but I don't know if I'll have the time in 2013. FYP will take a toll on me, and besides, whether I cos Dark or Krad, I have to make those wings. I want the wings to trail the ground, typical DN Angel style. It's probably a matter of how I'm to transport them, and where I can keep them at home. My mum will complain till the thunder gods frown.

AHHHHHHHHHH FUUUUUUUUUUUU BISHIE HIMEKAWA IS HEREEEEEEEEE


*fangirls* Damn, stop creating that stupid Presley hairstyle,  it's ugly! *snickers at Furuichi* "Super Pretty Boy" mode wtf XDDDDDDD

=====

Okay, not good. I'm watching Fall anime and wondering whether any series are cosable. So far I've watched Persona 4, Phi Brain, Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai (yes, at least for this eroge there are boys. If not I won't bother watching this series), Chihayafuru. Now watching Kimi to Boku, simply because I want a slice of life that involves boys rather than just girls. It's kind of refreshing, this series. ^^

Damn, stop thinking of which series I would cos. Urgh. I'm running out of cash, and space. Nah, no more plans (hopefully) until someone pulls me in. I wouldn't mind Kimi to Boku as one of the twins ^^

Not helping that Ven and KY were saying I should do Kaito from Phi Brain =.= Funny, I was thinking the same thing, like how similar I am to him.

Happy birthday Tezuka!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEZUKA!!!!!!!

Everyone just loves shouting his name. Seriously, I can't see why that brat is the one getting all the harem when this beloved Seigaku buchou has a larger one out there, he who is acknowledged by even his rivals. ^^ Unfortunately I'm not in a BL mood, so if there is genderbent Tezuka WITH a reverse harem it'll pique my interest immediately. Not so much original Tezuka and a reverse harem, because I dislike uke!Tezuka. He's not like that.

=====

Maa, I don't plan to cosplay for AFA unless someone wants me to do with them, but you should know I hate last minute stuff, and I have a report to rush. I'm working on it now, but I hope to fill up the bulk of it, unedited, by the next week.

So much sewing to do orz. Oh well, keeps me occupied instead of wondering what I'm supposed to do in front of the screen while waiting for skype updates. XD

Everyone loves Toma, haha. But wtf, Ikki, people still love that insecure idiot? LOL

Uyko, you're too cute. I have to tone down my seme personality for him, but he's really too adorable. Shin's cool and passionate, Ikki's romantic, Toma's protective and possessive, Kent's inexperienced but sweet, Ukyo's adorable. And I'm amused Kent calls Ikki "Ikkyu".

RIP Steve Jobs.

I hate Apple products and criticise them, but I respect his ingenuity and brilliant mind.

=====

Well, apparently it's not suicide on the piano anymore. Whew. One less thing to worry about. All I need to do is dig out my old songs - I really should invest in a terabyte-sized hard disk for all my music, and sort them out one day - and start selecting selecting.

But I still want to learn Senbonzakura. The piano parts are too intriguing to miss out. I swear I'll get the piano parts correct then learn the rest of the song. At the same time it'll be training for my fingers. ^^

*smacks self awake* This is what happens when I'm bored AND sleepy =.= Tonight, I MUST sleep before 12. I need my sleep, really.

Fall anime 2011

I can't remember what my Fall anime 2011 list was. Right, here's my list before I forget and skip it altogether. Yes, I'll drop some halfway, so I'll most definitely watch after 5 episodes before judging.

Anime
1) Persona 4 - !!!!!!
2) Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle
3) Guilty Crown
4) UN-Go
5) Mirai Nikki
6) Kimi to Boku
7) Fate/Zero
8) Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!! - EFFFFF I didn't plan to watch this because it's from an eroge, but when I saw Yusa's name on the cast list my mind exploded. *facepalm* I mean, the male seiyuu cast....T___T Will probably put this very last and marathon after, say 7 episodes. I just need to hear the voices of some old favourite seiyuus.
9) Chihayafuru

OVA
1) Ao no Exorcist: Kuro no Ieda
2) Baka Test
3) Hakuouki Sekkaroku - no subs? T_______T
4) VitaminX Addiction - can someone tell me where the hell are the episodes?

Movie
1) Tenipuri

Wand of Fortune II

ワンド オブ フォーチュン

Wand of Fortune II was out! September 29! Maa, if I don't have my WoF II team, I shan't be bothered too much, though I'll love to read any available walkthroughs XD

=====

I think I'm just bored and in need of a challenge, or maybe some things inspired me. So I kind of proposed an idea for Arts Fiesta 'Guess the Anime Song' competition that will definitely not infringe on copyright issues with SAO - Guess the Anime Song Piano Arrangement. I got the idea when I flipped through my anime sheet music and saw the anime medley scores, and decided, why not, 30 songs per day, 90 songs altogether. The hard work will be to find the songs ranging from popular to "Huh? Where is this from??", then select which parts to play. Since us Aniw leaders are in-charge of this, I figured we could also start early and take our time to search for anime songs.

I'll have to make use of my December weekdays to practise the piano and record the songs - yes, no score, can't be bothered - so I'm probably spending the rest of my days sewing and writing my report...and leaving my anime and manga to the weekends. Well, the ones I was watching have ended, and Fall 2011 has arrived. Again, I will wait several episodes.

Nah, it's just an excuse to say I'm busy and have no time to watch. Prop-making, remember? For both Youji and Kaito. Meh. I'll most likely be working on several sewing projects at a time.

As for my lovely blue camellia flower, I shall try several methods and see which work better. Read somewhere that roses can look like camellias if the leaves are wider and more rounded, but since I only need the flower not the leaves, I shall experiment.

Crepe paper flowers anyone?

This will be a nice guide for making Walker's bag. I'm sick and tired of finding a suitable colour. Moreover, I don't have a sewing machine. Good luck to me, and thank kami-sama I'm having IA now (even though I seem busier than when I've school and am rushing projects).

Senbonzakura

『千本桜』を歌わせていただきました 三重の人


First thing/person that came to mind: BYAKUYA

I'll die happy if one can put Okiayu's vocals in the song. It's Senbonzakura. It's Byakuya. It's utter love. And I'm reliving my love for Byakuya all over again. ♥♥♥ Favourite Bleach character. Gin was a later addition.

Original version by Miku:

『初音ミク』千本桜『オリジナル曲PV』


I like the first one better, at least in terms of the vocals. I've heard other Nico singer versions, but somehow I prefer the first video version better. No idea who's the singer. Sounds like...Kaito append? Damn, the append versions sound so much better than the original vocaloids. Honest. Less mechanical. But still no less irritating because it's vocaloids. So blardy overdone I wonder why the hell did I sign up for Kaito....I was more interested in Tsugai Kogarashi Kaito because of the dance, but as long as we wear the Japanese style (yes, Kagrra, I'm looking at you), it doesn't matter. ^^ I swear Arts Fiesta will have two dances, Bad Apple and Tsugai Kogarashi. Then an added bonus will be Remote Control, or we could save that for my last Arts Fiesta two years later.

In terms of the key, the original sounds better. G minor vs D minor, what a hard choice. But I swear, I'm going to put this song on loop so that I can learn the instrumental parts. I bet I'm going to enjoy playing it...if I ever get down to arranging this for piano. IA has taken a toll on me, such that I don't have much time for arranging my music. Moreover, I'm working on props now, even less time.

Other versions I managed to listen to so far:
Kettaro
Mi-chan
Ren

Edit: SHEETS
TIME TO LEARN!!!

And from the same site, I listened to Sakurane, I realise I have the sheets already, so I believe I'm inspired to play both Sakurane and Senbonzakura.

I just realise, that all the cosplay teams I've organised so far (Ao, Amnesia, maybe WoF II, Code: Breaker), I'm never among the main characters. No, let me rephrase that, the cosplay teams I join, I'm not very significant. Besides Cheshire, and even this Cheshire likes to avoid the camera. Perhaps it's pertaining to my own character - I don't like my pictures to be taken. Even in cosplay, I try to shun the camera as far as possible. Which is why I suppose my photos are few and precious. I like candid better than posed - they look more natural.

I wonder if it'll change when I do Loveless, Kaito and Neku. Especially since Neku IS the main character in The World Ends With You (TWEWY). OTL I mean, heck, I LOVE the seiyuu for Neku graaaaarrrggghhh



Meh, not gonna think so much. I'll probably watch the walkthrough later. Got to start on prop-making, you know. I've quite a few places to go today. Hopefully I can be done by 2pm, then I can go back and start work immediately.

=====

Data Pair. Damn, I think I ship this pair. To hell with the other tenipuri pairs, Data Pair's my OTP. Got a problem with me preferring the lesser known pairs/polygon? Never really bothered with main pairs unless it's UsuiXMisaki, RenXKyoko, DaisukeXRiku, and NaedokoXTsubaki (I SHIP. I SHIIIIIPPPP TILL THE TITANIC RISES FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN 8DDDDD). To name a few.

The flying cows, Oishi and Niou ahaha. Oh my, I love Shin Tenipuri for making the middle schoolers put aside their interschool rivalry and work together to prove their worth against the high schoolers. At the same time it's so ridiculous I wonder why this isn't labelled fantasy XDDD
