あなたがいない世界

Review: Happy Flight

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:25:42 GMT

I decided to bring my tuition kid out for a lunch and a movie to celebrate him passing his national exam. *phew*
the movie I chose was 'HAPPY FLIGHT' (I couldn't get him to decide on anything.)

It is a good movie. The content is what we usually get from most Japanese movies; idea of group cohesiveness and tatemae hanashi. then lastly, to fight 24 hours. However, what i like most is the light humor within.

The story is about a pilot-in-training (the one right in the middle) who failed the stimulation training and crashed. the next day he had a job and if he passed, he will become a full fledged pilot. he thought he will have it easy with the captain he was originally scheduled with but the captain was sick and a more stern looking guy was asked to take over. the flight started with madness, noisy children and arrogant passengers. then it worsens with birds colliding into the plane, messing up the control with the plane and the captain injuring his hand. it is all left up to the co-pilot. is he up to the job? or would he crash like he did in the stimulation? he was sweating like shit but he did an amazing job and made correct decision many times though he actually ducked when the bird slammed into the window and screamed when lightning stuck. LOL!!!

Rating: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Translation: Terebi kun no kimochi to Megane kun no kimochi

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:38:21 GMT

Yes, I finally finish the translation of Terebi kun no kimochi to Megane kun no kimochi!!!
Nontan's erotic voice makes my heart jump a bit, I didn't know he can sound so erotic as well. a second yusa kouji?
Or men are naturally perverse? Hmmm.... but then again, taking jobs in BLCD world means they have to sound erotic. Not those disgusting sweet voice in shoujo drama CD.

However, only story 1. I don't really care about the other two stories BUT.. my friend, Fel fel will be doing it so if you like the second story instead, just wait. As for the third, will find some time to do it after other drama cd translations I want to do first.

Why no UKE jobs for Yusa Kouji? Yusa Kouji, you are terribly depriving me of uke jobs. Although Rob is funny. Yusa is funny in two other seme jobs but it is still different from uke jobs. Never mind, I still have Subete wa Kono Yoru ni to work on.
Before that, technically my exams are over. I still have a JLPT on sunday to study for.

EIther way, translation is here.

Lastly, this is funny. Arthur, you spoilt Alfred.

Review: Terebi kun no kimochi

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:31:39 GMT

Title: Terebi kun no kimochi

Seiyuu:
武内健（Takeuchi Ken）× 杉山紀彰（Sugiyama Noriaki）
野島健児（Nojima Kenji）X 羽多野渉（Hatano Wataru）
鈴木千尋（Suzuki Chihiro）X 前野智昭（Maeno Tomoaki）・
山中真尋（Yamanaka Masahiro）・藤原祐規（Fujiwara Yuuki）・他

Story: Make up of 3 short stories but I only listened to the first with Sugiyama Noriaki. I have heard that all 3 are cracks. The first story which is the 2 in the picture. The right one (Souta) is a young actor and childhood friend of keichan~~~ Souta's love interest towards keichan is so obvious that it is right from the beginning of the story till the end. keichan is a weird childhood friend as well. souta started the cd telling keichan about a new drama he will be starring in and there is a kiss scene so he asked if he can kiss keichan. makes no sense? ~~it doesn't matter, yaoi isn't suppose to have logic.~~ keichan just laughs it off with 'for practice? no problem. i will help you with it. just climb over my corpse to overcome this. come! just kiss me.' then the kiss gets deeper and souta ran off to toilet after saying 'this is getting bad.' keichan's reaction is 'what's wrong? He wants to vomit?' will souta's love message ever gets to keichan?

Keichan is aware of souta's feelings in a way or another. however, he rather laugh it off because he also felt that it is a joke than real love interest. he finally accepted it when souta confess to him. Second track onwards is about them dating in a theme park and how keisuke is teasing him. keisuke is actually a pretty erotic person but careful in front of others.

Comment:

Nothing can be horrible with Nontan as uke. The interesting thing about this work is both seiyuu, Nontan and Ken chan have always been giving off this uke image. Souta is a man child, in other words, very cute and nontan also used a cuter voice than sasuke. It is like having a ukeXuke... which is so wrong...

however, when it comes to the sex scene. despite sounding like a child, souta is really the one who tops, keisuke just gives in to him. there is this part that souta said 'are you crying? so cute. cry some more. i want you to feel strongly that i am important.' for this part, he suddenly turn into a beast.... then went 'no, don't hate me. please like me.' the innocence of a child is so scary though souta is at least 19, 20 since keisuke is in university and they are both of the same age.

i love this story since it is really funny because keisuke teases souta a lot. it is like listening to a second yusa kouji. a strong uke that can manipulate the seme normally and is the calmer one, considering for souta's position as a celebrity. however, he can be pretty erotic as well. he acted erotic just for souta's birthday, he gave him a necklace and then, the omake is sex. and especially for it, he didn't put on underwear... i just want to laugh because nontan's previous works are all innocent uke who will never show such an erotic side. in other words, it is a change for us and reminds me of arthur kirland, a tsundere and erotic ambassador.

Title: SImplex (spin off from deadlock series) about Robert, the kawaii professor who can't stop talking.

Story: The author has decided to give our poor professor, who is ditched by Yuuto in Deadlock series, a small girlfriend. And 7 years younger.. The story brings us a even closer look into Rob's world as a professor who specialize in psychology and a close relationship to crimes and terrorism.

2 parts to the story in which the first, Rob received a warm present from a pervert that cuts off people's ears. However, this time it is a mimic of the same case Rob is involved in few years back. That time, he was assaulted and his ears was almost cut off. This time he is stabbed by the imitator. He's still alive, some tough living luck he has.

The second story is about him trying to make the boy in the picture (brother of one of the girls killed by the first pervert for the ears cutting murders.) becomes his thing!! the little boy is frustrated with rob's reckless way of doing things in the first story when he specially requested to be Rob's bodyguard. however, he is aware that he does like Rob but he is confused since he is straight and other issues of being abused by his own dad before. Rob, once again, answered everyone's prayers by acting recklessly again when he is acting as the negotiator with an angry man who is holding his own son and yuuto as hostage. To end the negotiation, Rob said he will personally go inside the apartment and act as his shield in case any of the police outside tried to shoot the 'kidnapper'.

In the end, the boy realize that Rob can act the way he is of such strength is his strong belief for people, even for criminals, that being alive is the only way to do anything and pay for their own crimes. the rest, you will know.

Comment: ~~I am surprised the uke has more stamina than the seme.~~ That is not what i want to say. Despite my conscious rejection of seme jobs of Yusa kouji, this work is a big exception. Rob is too funny and interesting to reject. A 36 years old man who goes around calling people 'erotic man' and 'honey'. He is seriously nice. He talks to the guy, who tried to kill him before and almost cut his ears off, like talking to a friend....... Rob is probably on the level that we called 'something is seriously wrong with this guy'. well, Rob has a tough life too.

as for seiyuu, there is nothing i can be picky about. it is yusa kouji we are talking about. he is just amazing when it comes to a mature character that loves to flirt or acts cute.

America cd translation

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:20:24 GMT

I have decided to do a ROUGH translation of the mini drama because it is so funny!
will tune it up after my exams. i still have 10 weeks of readings to finish in 4 days.

America: Hello, everybody. For some reason, England said that he wants to stay overnight at my house.

England: Who said that?! It can't be helped since we have a meeting at your house.

America: Oh, that's right. Ya~~ Since we have a meeting at Washington tomorrow, I will allow you to stay at my newly built house since it can't be helped. AHAHAHAHA~~

England: America~ Ha! Although your house is new, it looks cheap.

America: AHAHAHA~ Unlike your old house, my house has a leading edge when it comes to efficiency.

England: You definitely do not know what is the value of traditionalism and history.

America: What are you talking about? How unfortunate that you are not able to appreciate my sense. Just as I thought, new things are the B-E-S-T.

England: AMERICA~~

America: Oh to to. We reached. This will be your room. However, even though I said this many times, don't make a racket in the room.

England: As long as you are not here, I won't.

America: Then, oyasumi~~ goodnight~~

England: Seriously, to say all he wanted and left like that. Never mind, let's just tuck in already to be ready for tomorrow.

*ghost*

England: Eh- Eck!

America: *yawn* It is about time to sleep. Ah?

England: AMERICA! THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY ROOM!

America: Ahahaha! Just like what you always do to make a fuss rightaway. Everyone, isn't he rude?

Alien: Fuck you bubu.

America: Really, England you are hopeless. So what happened?

England: That's right! I am talking about a ghost! A ghost appeared in my room!

America: A ghost? AHAHAHA! A ghost?! England, you sure can dream.

Alien: Right bubu!

England: I really saw a ghost just now!! And a really evil looking one!!

America: This again. Didn't you always tell me stories about your illusions of an unicorn?

Alien: Unicorn bubu.

England: America, you are with an alien again. Not to mention the numbers is increasing!!

America: I am telling you that they are not aliens. I am with my friend Tony. Then, it is his friend and his friend's friend

England: What is with this strange relationship? .

America: Ahaha! You can say a friend's friend is my friend!! Putting that aside, England, you saw an illusion again?

England: I AM TELLING YOU IT IS NOT AN ILLUSION!

Alien: Bubu.

England: That's why! The alien and friends over there, just shut up! You have been trying to irritate me since just now.

America: Even if you said that, the truth is you just wanted to sleep together in the same room in the same way we did in the past, right?

Alien: Love me bubu. Kiss me bubu.

England: Just because you are impure so you are not able to see it but a unicorn is really cute. The fur is really silky soft, and splendid to touch and when I am lonely, it will keep me company too. It is seriously cute! I am telling you again it is not a illusion. A unicorn is- and then, and then-

America: England.

*silence*

America: It is better that you see a doctor.

England: THAT'S WHY I AM SAYING IT IS NOT A ILLUSION!

Alien: Hospital bubu

America: Since it can't be helped, I shall take a look at your room. England, you sure is child-like that I can't refuse you.

England: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CHILD?!!

America: So this is the room that you saw a ghost?

England: Yes. I saw it just now. Wah! This is horrible.

America: Even so, I used this room a few times before and I have never seen a ghost before.

England: If that is so, why don't you open and see for yourself?!! It is this strange black- strange and disgusting thing!

America: Saying that again. Are you so scared that you are speaking nonsense?

England: I really did see it clearly with my eyes. It is black disgusting shadow with a moustade and laughing complacently. (is it me or is he describing France niisan?)

Ghost

America and England: AHHHHHHHH~~~~~~

*run*

Alien: Scarey cat bubu

America: England, it is okay for you to sleep here just for tonight.

England: I guess it can't be helped but only for tonight.

Alien: FUCK bu

Narrator: Hence, these two while shivering away, spent the night together with other life forms. The very next morning.

France: In the end, I couldn't sleep well. I am sleepy. Even though it is said that we have a meeting, the idiotic America is late again in the end and England didn't appear at all.

*knock*

France: Oi. America. The meeting has started.

* more knocking*

France: Oi. America. Meeting. The meeting! What are we supposed to do if the leader of the assembly isn't present!

**door open*

France: Are. The door is not locked.

*France enter*

France: What is this? England is here properly as well. Oi! Wake up already!

America: *sound*

France: What? Are you ignoring me? OI!! *shock*

Fairy 1: Today's weather is nice and feels good.

Fairy 2: Right. Right. Let's play somemore.

France: Wings- - tinny little girls are-- f - flying in the air--

Brownie: Are, are. England went to sleep again without tidying his work. I shall just do it for him.

France: Thi- This time, it is a o- o- doll sized grandpa is. Not to mention he is tidying up the documents up for England!

Fairy: Brownie, just put aside the job and play with us.

Brownie: I am busy at the moment, you guys just play with unicorn.

Fairy: That's really boring, isn't it? Unicorn.

France: Eh! A horse and a horn attached!! Even a horse is!!

Dwarf: He found us!

Fairy: This is bad! Run!

France: EHHH!!! WHAT WAS THAT!!!

England: SHUT UP!!

France: Ahh!

England: Don't scream all of a sudden when you are right beside me.

France: What the. It is just you.

England: Seriously, what is it?

America: Hmm~~ What is with the racket so early in the morning? Did England see some sort of illusion again?

France: LISTEN, AMERICA. IN THIS ROOM THAT YOU GUYS ARE IN, THERE ARE GIRLS WITH WINGS ATTACHED, THEN THERE IS A DOLL-SIZED GRANDPA AND A HORSE WITH A HORN. RIGHT OVER THERE.

America: France.. It would be better that you get a doctor to look at you too.

Alien: -- Fuck---.

France: AMERICA, DAMN YOU. LOOK AT THAT ALIEN! I DON'T WANT TO BE SAID THAT TO BY YOUR FRIEND!

America: WHAT! I DON'T WANT TO SAID THAT TO AS WELL FROM SOMEONE WHOSE BRAIN IS AS EMPTY AS HIS STOMACH!

England: ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!

England: Seriously, what was that yesterday night? Did it come by Bursby chair? Did it finally came as my reinforcement?

America: *something* (I can't catch his words. he is just mumbling. someone tell me what he said.)

France: Nevertheless, what was that just now? I was woken up twice yesterday night as well. (so it was you, France. The most disturbing is why is he sleeping standing up right in front of the door?)

I did this translation without reading the manga at first. now i get it that it is France and butt naked....
What I don't get is why is France in America's house? He stayed overnight at America's house? If he did, why is it America didn't recognise the room that he let France stayed in? And in the same room as England, then throw England into the same room? Or that France is sneaking around or sleepwalking? France, you have the worse waking up looks.

shiawase kissa sanchoume drama cd 2~~

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 05:50:34 GMT

Title: Same as the post title
Story: For this drama cd, the female lead and 5 other guys she knows decided to visit a newly renovated theme park together. In the theme park, they decided to go into the haunted house. (why? i will prefer the roller coaster rides.) However, they need to decide who is a pair with who as they can only go in in pairs. But Uru is such a popular commodity, 3 guys are fighting to go in with her. (not really. it is the 2 'old' guys that is trying to pair Shindou with Uru that makes the other 2 slightly pissed.) hence, ichirou suggested using a question-answer game to decide who will go with uru. this is the fun part. ichirou simply just gives stupid answers with this really serious voice. i think only ichirou can pull off stupidity with such gracefulness. (nontan is really good as ichirou. he gives a sleepy tone to ichirou who really sleeps all the time and add a certain elegance too such as ichirou's face suggest. you have to listen to the drama cd and read the manga to know.)

THUS, i have decided to translate the question parts because it is just funny.

Question: What is the name of the way to remove the skin of a white radish or anything similar? (referring it to the one that you go spiral.)
Other: This is a question about food. Go for it, Sakkun.
Ichirou: 'kabutowari' (literally kabuto = helmet/headpiece. wari = proportion/ratio. separation. split etc depending on kanji. considering removing the skin starts from the head. it is probably along the line 'proportionate head bands' )
*sound effect*
Ichirou: Ah. I was wrong.
Kenshin: Of course!! What the heck is 'kabutowari'?!! (ichirou probably created the word himself.)
Ichirou: Then, Kenshin kun is able to answer it?
Kenshin: Ah. Since it is a white radish, 'Skinning a white radish.'
Shindou: 'katsuramuki' (or rotary cutting.)
*correct*

others: as expected of shindou san!! good, keep it up.
ichirou: hoho. you are good.
shindou: sigh~~

question 2: a crane lives for a thousand year. how long does a tortoise live?
ichirou: a hundred million light years.
*wrong*
kenshin: i believe it should be around 50 years. (average life span is around 120 years but most of them live for about 50-80 years of old age. in the extreme cases, there are a few that lived up to 230 years old. basically, kenshin is correct. just that the question is not asking about secular common sense. it is asking about mythology knowledge)
*wrong*
kenshi: eh! it's wrong?
shindou: ten thousand years/eternity.
kenshin: HUH!!! a tortoise doesn't live that long.
shindou: that's not the point. putting that aside, ichirou, take it seriously.
ichirou: that's rude. i am serious all the time.
shindou: where is that?
kenshin: just because you got it correct till here, don't be cocky.
other: yeah! yeah! go, go. satsuki kun.
shindou: shut up. gaya.
uru: ganbare, everyone.

Question 3: What is the animal after the mouse in Zodiac?
ichirou: beef. (right. the last of the queue is pork and what would 'dragon' be? earthworm?)
shindou: cow.

Question 4 is about the type of the last boss of a certain fantasy game. kenshin got it correct.

question 5 isn't mentioned. it is about food though.
ichirou: slime
shindou: it is 'gelatin', you idiot.

question 6: about the traffic light. kenshin got it correct by saying 'need to stop.' so probably about what to do.

question 7: not mention. should be about chinese dishes.
ichirou: ah, i want to eat char siew ramen.
shindou: SIGH~~ dan dan mian. (it is a chinese dish. simply just dry noodles and a spicy meat sauce.)

I love this track!!! You can listen to it here.
http://www.tudou.com/playlist/playindex.do?lid=7224627&iid=11883483&cid=1

technically, ichirou is right in a way and another, in his own worldview.
will do a full translation after my damn exams end. then again, i doubt anyone is interested.

the calmness before the storm

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:06:13 GMT

my mum actually quarrel with my dad over television. ( -_-)lll
that is the problem when both of them are so free and doesn't employ the tv's function to record show. what is the point of us changing it to cable tv that allows you to record shows?

my mum has the whole day to check when her programme timing is and record it. she doesn't do it. she wants to watch it when it starts and ends.
my dad isn't much better. the moment he comes home, he takes the remote and change the channel in the midst of the show my mum wants to watch.

i just want to laugh. one is a technical idiot and the other is an arrogant ass that doesn't know how to share.
never watch tv at my house because you will never get to watch it. thus, i am always at my laptop, typing this post.

my mum asks such weird questions

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:14:34 GMT

my mum asked me today one question 'what do you do with your blog thingy?'

seriously, you want to know, my dear mum? i use it to insult you. 　★( 「～「　）
i guess she doesn't understand what a blog functions as since our family doesn't have a habit of writing diary or whatsoever.

ok, ignoring my usual nonsense of my mum. I wonder if i made my relationship with my mum sounds really bad. ah, heck.

let's say i found a new comic. shiawase kissa sanchoume.
did i mention it before? hmmmm....... ( -_-).... don't remember. think i did since the last time i read it was like 3 years ago so ignoring the sentence before this.

either way, it is about a stupid girl who stumbled upon a western cake shop and is hired. what i like about this story is ICHIROU!!!
ichirou is so cute (other than him being voiced by sugiyama noriaki in the drama cd). he fall asleep all the time and only wakes up if someone feed him. so basically, you have him falling (literally) asleep. the shop keeper being a big S, will be punching, smacking him all the time.
∑(O_O )

the starting of the drama cd, you can hear him kicking a sleeping ichirou on the floor while sugiyama goes 'ha. ha.' each time ichirou is kicked. lol. why is ichirou still alive. the other reason i like ichirou is his family is full of madness. actually, the whole manga is.
there are someone people who doesn't like the ending because it ended with everything as how it started. that is the female lead didn't go out with anyone. life just goes on.

hmm.... i don't really care since i ~~love to contradict people~~ am tired of typical shoujo manga that female leads will go mad blushing, cry and cry, annoying the hell out of me. this manga started as a gyagu (gag) so let it stay as it is. what i like the humor and love relationship doesn't help in the humor.

kuroshitsuji live event

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:13:54 GMT

This is the Kuroshitsuji live event and I have 3 comments after watching it.

1 - Stop flirting, you 41 year old OLD man and referring to Yusa Kouji. This is not socially acceptable (by my standard.)
Well, he said his introduction in this really devilish voice 'ya, everyone~~ to those on the second deck, sorry~~ that i didn't walk through there. ran mao isn't here so i am a bit lonely. maybe i should bring one of you back later~~~' then, everyone just went 'KYAAAAA~~~~~~~'
i am not very familiar with kuroshitsuji and the character called lau. i believe he is doing a ab-lib as lau so not as naughty as i said.

2 - Yusa, did you get fat? Probably the hairstyle makes him look so.

3 - Speaking of hairstyle, Nontan, you are one amazing guy. How did you managed to keep the same hairstyle for 4 whole years from 2005 to 2009 since Bleach sonic 2005.

After this video, there is a section in which they totally destroyed Sebastian's image by adding weird things to live voice acting. For example, being a kappa or a robotic butler. In this section, Ono Daisuke(Sebastian) is very cute. He just keep going 'this is my corner so i will do as i like.' In the end, you will realize one thing. Yusa Kouji and Yasumoto Hiroki are two really vocal guys. You hear their voices all the time.
Nontan, as usual, just sits there and fold his arms. If Inoue Kazuhiko is around, he probably will say Sugiyama is asleep again.

my conclusion is seiyuu are indeed paid to talk. yuuchan and yasu kun are doing a good job.

dare ni mo ura ga aru is a R18 game!!!!

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:14:38 GMT

For those who read my previous posts on otome games coming out at the end of this month or early next month. I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE for dare ni mo ura ga aru. The one with yusa kouji as ishikawa rui and 2 sisters. I said it is 'all age otome game', no. It isn't. It is a R18, R18 game.

I feel like breaking down and cry already. This is because i ordered this game because I thought it will be mild like hakuouki or hiiro no kakera. I didn't realize it is R18 until i saw a new CG of a naked ishikawa and the sister sleeping beside him. Although compared to yaoi R18, it is really nothing explicit.

You probably will be wondering why I am screaming when i can watch yaoi visual novels with all the fully drawn naked sex scenes, and the moaning etc. (not that i listen to them seriously.) There will be no moaning from the female leads for this game as females are not voiced (as usual for most otome games). Thank goodness!!!
I am so glad Princess Nightmare is not a R18 game as this game is fully voiced.

The point is naked women under bed sheets aren't the things i want to see. Not that i want to see fully naked men either. i like men with their clothes on. That is why I can't stand CG of the sex scenes of Kichiku megane when they are fully naked and in those weird position. Come on, everyone be a good boy and at least have one long sleeve on in midouXkatsuya or katsuyaXmidou route.
Now, you probably know the reason why i only played these two's routes because they still have the upper shirt on. Their scenes are the most pleasant to the ones. the rest are just disturbing. i rather watch gore than see fully naked people.

Either way, since i already ordered it and it will be coming with a CD and artbook, it is something to look forward to. In addition, sex scenes isn't the main point of this game since it is not a hentai game AND YUSA KOUJI is in it, I will just ignore the sex scenes the same way i am going to ignore midorikawa hikaru's character's route as well.

last of all is i don't get why most otome game do not voice the female leads (for the exception of karin's works like Princess Nightmare or Danzai no Maria). I believe it is for girls to think they are the female leads since I did see a few reviewers dislike a game because they can't put themselves in the shoes of the female leads, saying the female lead is plain etc. I, on the other hand, have never seen myself as the female lead. The question is for what? This is a visual novel. NOVEL in which you read a story of someone else, not yourself. Why do you need to see yourself as the female lead? How can you see yourself as someone else who isn't you in the first place?
Sometimes, i just think girls are crazy. like hell the male characters are really talking to you. snap out of your crazy fantasy.
i play VN games for the pretty CG and the plot, not for the pleasure that the guy is talking to me.

I rather have the makers fully voiced each game like yaoi game. I want to hear for myself the personality of the female lead. give me a strong female lead like kyoko from skip beat that goes around cursing people.

Darker than black episode 6

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:20:33 GMT

SPOILERS!!!

Hei, you are one sinful guy!!! This episode is so wrong in a few ways.

As much as I want to say ~~'hei, shave.'~~ that it is a good thing that hei is softening to Suou and probably stop his mad drinking but to see suou liking hei (though she doesn't really get it herself), i just feel a bit strange here and there. this is mainly because suou is so young and hei is at least his mid twenties already.

i am very interested in yin and what happened to her. she is clinging to hei now like a stalker.....

games i want to play!!!

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:01:57 GMT

and yes, i love visual novel games, followed by RPG.

Title:　誰にでも裏がある -true or lie?-
Release date: 04th Dec 2009 (is pushed back)
genre: R18 otome game (I made a mistake previously. oh my god. please, no explicit sex scenes. i can stand yaoi sex but no male-female sex)
Platform: PC

Title: Steal
Release date: 27th Nov 2009
genre: yaoi. purely yaoi.
platform: PC

You probably think these two are from the same game. If you do, you are so wrong, it just happens these two characters from 2 different games looks like they are twins. However, the only thing similar about them is they are evil looking like ichimaru gin. this is even more so when ishikawa (the upper one) has the same seiyuu and the character profile specifically mention ishikawa is a cold and cruel tutor. kiryuu (the one below) is voiced by kamiya hiroshi.

Title: カエル畑DEつかまえて
Release date:TBA
genre: all age otome
platform: PS2

Onward to the story etc.....

誰にでも裏がある -true or lie?- (dare ni demo ura ga aru - true or lie?-)

story: There is a pair of sisters and the elder sister became a teacher at the younger one's school. Somehow, they will meet 6 guys who all have double side personality. The story will concentrate on how the two sisters and their experience with 6 guys that are broken as a human. (that's why it is 裏 which can mean a hidden side. don't ask me where are the other 2. they are on the character page. one look like a oyaji and the other is a bear...... ) i, however, is more interested on how the game will be like with 2 point of views. i mean there are 2 female leads, not 1.

Comment: I repeat this is a visual novel so it is in full Japanese and in other words, language unfriendly. It will be difficult to enjoy the game if you don't understand Japanese. It just stuck me first because yusa kouji is in it as this guy. Then it is all the other handsome guys. Ishikawa looks like a pretty vicious guy and he is a tutor..... what kind of tutor is this? he is worse than me. it is said that for every emotion he shows, it is all calculated and that he hates to show his emotions to the extreme.
what a tiring way to live. the same goes for the other 5. there is just something wrong about them in a way or another.    i am so looking forward to how yusa kouji will do this character. one of the voice sample had him saying in this quiet voice 'your finger is so cute. looks like i can eat it with jam.' you probably think it is very MOE~~~ in that sort of erotic voice.    no, it send shiver down my spine instead. yusa kouji sounded more like a serial killer than a sexy boyfriend.    somehow, i think this otome game will move away from 'moe' to cold blooded killing if we stay on this route.   let's just hope he will become sweeter in a way or another like midou did.                             I am going to just ignore the fact that midorikawa hikaru is in this game too.

Steal

Story: I wanted to laugh when i read the story. It is a school that are training people how to be robbers. LOL!!!!!
Okay, let's be serious for a while.   This is a huge corporation that specializes in stealing things, for example hacking etc. Not as ridiculous as I made it sound. Basically, what you have is a school filled with guys so what do you get? Yaoi pairings like gakuen heaven, schooling and sex. End.

Comment: I probably sound like I don't care because i really do not care. As much as I want to play for the graphics, there are 2 things that puts me off. One - yusa kouji is not in it at all. much less sugiyama noriaki. Second - midorikawa hikaru is in it. i don't like his voice. (don't scream at me you like his voice. you have your likings and i have mine.)   Since it is by Spray that made Kichiku Megane, I believe it won't be disappointing but I am no expert on visual novel games so don't ask me.    even so, i don't think any game can beat kichiku megane in having 1 character playing both the seme and uke roles. usually, it is just 1 uke and a lot of seme. kichiku megane has a the uke played the seme and the seme(s) being the uke(s) for the ex-uke.......................

Story: If you still haven't notice, it is about humans who can changed into frogs. (it is gaeru afterall.)     at first, i thought it is magical frogs that can changed into humans but after reading the story and looking at the picture above, it is the other way round.    the story revolves around the 7 legends of a certain school. one of the legend is about this shrine that is in the school but it couldn't be open. one day when a girl and her friends tried to open, they were covered by a fog and turned into frogs.     my first reaction is how much more idiotic can one get? other than the bacteria lying dormant within an abandoned shrine, there is always the risk of it collapsing on you. of course, that is just me. i doubt anyone will stare at a game and argue with it regarding logic.    other than that, they looked so cute. interestingly from the CG picture on top, it is just the guys that are affected. where are the girls?

Comment: This is the game i want to play most when it is out and provided no mishap happen and caused it to be halted or worse, change to seiyuu.   if they take nontan down then i am boycotting this game.                   The story is cute and most importantly, the blond and unhappy guy is sugiyama noriaki. sugiyama is playing a guy with very low tolerance for people and at the same time, does not like to talk.   hmm..... so does he get angry easily like england from hetalia? or sasuke from naruto? i doubt nontan will have problem pulling it off as this character since i am well aware of how very versatile nontan can be, to the point that there is no consistency in any of his characters.
however, there is a problem. i will need a PS2 for this. shirley, please lend your PS2 to me!!!

yaoi games

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:56:30 GMT

i got back into the mood of playing kichiku megane again. you probably know i talked about it before......so why am i talking about it again?
stress is building up because exams are coming in 2 weeks time. i want to distress by ~~watching man rape man.~~ simply because there are no uke yusa jobs for last month or this month at all. i am badly deprived of yusa kouji's lustful voice.......
(　「＿「)

and then, the last time i played this was like 3, 4 months ago and i only did 1 route out of the 31 endings. (i wasn't paying attention to what is happening in other routes.)
hence, this time instead of midou X N. Katsuya. i did Megane Katsuya X Midou for both Kichiku and Kichiku R.

katsuya seems sweet in the picture but.... you will shocked if you play KM. you will fully understand what is the meaning of 'men are beast'.

Let's just say megane Katsuya in Kichiku is a 100% bastard. i thought midou is horrid in the midouXkatsuya route but megane katsuya is way worse. (ah duh! that's why the game is called 'kichiku' = brutal)

back to the topic, what he did was purely unforgivable. katsuya just does whatever he likes. he doesn't even give people a change to turn away. at the very least, midou give N. katsuya a choice that he can leave anytime.

megane katsuya just goes around drugging people, raping midou, video taped it and threaten him with the video.
then he decided to crush midou by locking midou up for days then confess to him. ( of course, midou is already in a withdrawn state on the verge of breaking down. i am amazed that he did hear katsuya's confession.)
one year later, midou decided he love megane katsuya too.
( -_-)............................ this game is totally nonsensical.

kichiku megane R makes more sense. In Kichiku megane, M. KatsuXMidou is just intense but in R, the scenes are so sweet and soft with a complete 180 degree switch.

Kichi R starts off with these two being a couple and co-founder of a new rising company. M. Katsuya met up with his childhood friend who started the bullying when he was young. he became agitated and lost. he doesn't let midou know since he wouldn't want his girlfriend to see his weak side. midou supported katsuya in his own way. despite being raped or almost fully raped, he managed to get katsuya to stop before he do anything he will regret.   (of course, we are the ones who choose if katsuya rape or do not rape the rapist back.)

i just find it so funny that megane katsuya can tame the proud and arrogant midou so much. midou display a complete different aura from the one in first game. he still has this proud aura but not because he look down on you but simply a sense of satisfaction that you are here with him. he doesn't seem as cold as well. actually, as long as katsuya isn't there in KM 1, midou is any normal salaryman you see.    as KM 1 proceed, midou changed from a tiger to a cat that shiver and run at the site of M. Katsuya.

although i keep saying midou is arrogant but from the way midou work, i have to say midou just seems to be arrogant and direct it towards Katsuya only. basically, midou works with the basic principles and rules set by the company. however, he does change accordingly to situation. the thing to note is he speaks up for his subordinates if it is not in their wrong. an arrogant boss probably won't do anything. he told katsuya in the face that it is katsuya who is not picking up the phone and not fujida fault that he is not informed.     M. katsuya need some anger management.

my god

</div>when i saw the video, it is simply O_O....

in words, it is 'mad man'.

parents are irritating

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:14:02 GMT

parents are stupid but they refuse to admit that they are dumb. while thinking they are smart, they pester us with questions and say we are dumb if we can't answer them.

they don't know everything and the same goes with us.
what the fucking hell does she think i know everything.    she once asked me to look at her medical report which is all these medical terms that even a nurse wouldn't understand. then she said 'you are a university undergrad, you should know'

i looked at her and said, 'you are dumber than i thought you were.'

my mum rather use a pre-paid card for her handphone and refuse to use a line no matter what i tell her. then she keep wanting me to do her top-up which she can do herself.

then she left it aside without using it and her line now is dead.   (there is an expiry date for pre-paid card)
so she asked me 'what does the phone tell her'?'   it is something along the line 'the user is not available.'
i told her 'i don't know; and she exploded, saying me i am useless.

mad woman. just shut the fuck up.    (how i wish i can just say this right in her face but i can't. i can only plug my earphone and blast gackt's music into my ears while trying to lose the tension within me by this post.)

moon child (movie)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:19:06 GMT

like the picture? because i do. it has everything i want to see. yaoi + blood + 2 sexy men + death = emo is my favorite food. XD

this is from a movie called moon child. it is about japan's economy has collapsed and poor japanese immigrant forced to somewhere in china. then, gackt played a orphan who rise up in the mafia world with kei, his vampire friend. at first, it was just silly and gackt is basically like dante from devil may cry. never too old to be immature. gradually, it is just sad, sad, sad....

i have intended to cheer myself up because it is just madness this and next week. oral and listening this week + a presentation. 1 essay and final test for japanese next. then it is reading week and final exams for 4 modules. my life sounds like shit. sometimes i just wish i am back to the days that all i need to worry about is my part time job. school is worse than part timer. i can seriously understand why neeters in japan is increasing. it is a life you live for the day and live the next as it comes. it is less stressful when you have to plan everything out. when one fail, it is as if the world falls apart.

however, this movie is far from cheerful.... the beginning, well. yes but halfway through, it is depressing.
oh well, i always like theme like this. some said this movie is a waste. i think it is pretty good. there are worse movies out there, people. don't be picky when you can't act yourself. look on the good sides. there are 2 tasty men on it.

game: dementium the ward

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:50:40 GMT

Title: Dementium the Ward

Story: if the picture disturbs you, it is meant to be. You are a patient admitted into hospital. One night you woke up to an empty hospital and everywhere is just stained with blood. (interestingly, not on the ceiling.) you have to fight for your life alone. (not exactly alone. there will be some people alive. one will die and you can get his gun. ) fight zombie and run from cockroaches.

comment: i managed to get to chapter 3 pretty easily. i have to say horror game is really bad for the heart. it is probably the music. you are made to listen to your heartbeat and when you are dying, the speed increase. it makes me really anxious to the point i am breathing really deeply like i am doing yoga. so bad on my heart..... this game has a weird save system. it saves at the door you enter within each chapter and brings you back to the door. however, if you died before you enter the next chapter, whatever you save is gone. it brings you back to the start of the chapter, not to your last save point. (sucks, doesn't it?) if you in for a good scare, you can try it. XD

Oishii Karada

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:57:21 GMT

Oishii Karada

Pairing: HIyama Nobuyuki X Morikawa Toshiyuki (i am so gladful it is not the other way round. hiyama's moaning is just disturbing...)

Story: 'morikawa' is the owner of a sweet shop and his shop is facing economic difficulty. 'hiyama' is an elite of this company and bought over the building morikawa's shop is in. (I am not too sure if he used his power in the company or his own saving.) very typical but of course, i give 'hiyama' my respect for not making some stupid request like 'i saved your shop so in return, give me your body' i hate it when seme says that. you bastard of a beast.

comment: i like the younger brother of 'morikawa'. why? it is nontan and that's why. why do you think i even bother listening to it?
let's just say i am biased so i was like on standby when sugiyama is not out and switched back on when nontan's voice floats in.

however, i love the first track. the conversation between the brothers just makes me laugh.
it started with 'morikawa' screaming at 'hiyama' to go back and never come back to persuade him to open a shop in the department store again. (because he was molested there) then morikawa shout at sugiyama to bring the salt out.

morikawa: rinki, bring the salt over. it is over there, right?
sugiyama: heh? if you want salt. we have some expensive ones that just arrive today. you sure you want to use them?
morikawa: eh! then sugar is fine too. just hurry up.
sugiyama: hmm... if you do throw sugar, it will attracts ants to the front of the shop. i suggest you better don't do that.
morikawa: damn! i get it, okay!

the whole time, sugiyama used this 'i see but i don't care' tone just makes me laugh. half of it is because i think sugiyama did a great job with that voice. the other half is the younger brother's personality.... so practical. you probably think the younger brother has the upper hand in the family but no, that is the only successful time he managed to get 'hiyama' to listen.

reading the novel now. if the second book of the series ever come out as a drama cd, i am grabbing it. why? yes, the younger brother is the main pairing and sugiyama is the seiyuu!!!

hetali cd (america) preview

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:04:19 GMT

although i do like america's cute high pitch voice but his voice or should i say i was never and am not impressed with katsuyuki konishi's singing voice.

Japan, England's CD are great for every track. France has 1 track like i like. for america, looks like his is just plain crack....

hahaha, i am so dumb

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:08:27 GMT

i had a lecture on storing food and i said this really dumb thing to my friend.

well, this is what i heard. first thing first, there is this shopping street in singapore called 'orchard' because the road that runs through it is orchard road. now on the story.

lecturer: 'we need to pre-cool the fruits or any harvest. pre-cool is to remove the heat from the harvest as soon as possible. this is because once you remove the fruit, for example the apple, then put it into this nice basket of you. then you walk down the orchard slowly to look for other nice apples. the heat from the sunlight and at room temperature, it will cause increase in respiration of plant blah blah~~~'

me: 'why go to orchard (road) to buy apple?'

my friend: 'the farmer lah'

me: 'oh~~~~'

ya, this shows that even if you are listening doesn't mean you always get what the teacher means.

selfish people

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:01:01 GMT

seems like i am surrounded with bastards who speaks their mind too much without thinking.
even if we are all in university and university is a place that prides itself to nurture people into thinking people who can speak out loud.

but...... not brainless people who speaks without constraint. speaking their mind without considering how it hurts people is as good as not thinking either.

i bought a comic that is simply heavy everyday life. i was reading it in class and this guy (who i seriously hate because he acts big. i hate man who feel women should act small. i like to crush the pride of such men. XD)
and yes, this man.... he said it is shota-con. which i don't read and reject totally. i hate anything that uses child in a sexual way. it is simply wrong and disturbing.   then he said it is boring when i described about it to him.

i was rather pissed already. i told him to shut up and i didn't buy books for the sake of lending people. i buy comics for myself to read. i buy things i like. neither did i recommend you the book and you can just fucking shut up and read something else you like. not that i care.

ok, next is the review. XD

Title: Flat

Story: It revolves around a high school boy and his elementary cousin. no , no. not yaoi. i disagree with child sex. it is wrong.
either way, it is a really sweet story of how their interaction makes the high school boy learn that he need to consider for others before making a move. then it is the boy learning how to speak his mind as he is too quiet.

Comment: I think it is just sweet!! you might find it boring since it is slice of life and does not have crazy humor.
i personally do enjoy slow paced stories like this with a slight touch of humor. but somehow, i don't like Nana. hmmmmm

it is how one guy, who is always in his own world, change to accommodate and care more for others. then, it is about a kid whose parents are always busy. he found someone who does realize how much he has to tolerate and bear with being alone. someone who changed the way he talks and avoid any comments that will hurt him.
basically whatever i chose not to do.    i like things that contradicts me.

i won't deny that the male lead and his friends are eye candies as well.   that is if you like this artstyle as much as i do. we don't all have the same taste. this is a relatively thin way of drawing but i am not a artist. =P

interesting day

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:41:15 GMT

first my mum piss me off as usual. i don't know why she is such a busybody and her itchy fingers, feel like snapping them off.
why?

i helped my friend buy her DS. when i came back, i left it on the table. my mum saw it and came into my room, wanting to open it.
she went 'so rich. what you buy' and started to open the bag.

i went 'IT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!! DON'T TOUCH IT!!!'

I could have been nicer but i am too tired to play nice. i was at my friend's house, 5 hours straight to write an essay. my back ache and my arms numbed
i have to come home to see her touching things that doesn't belong to me. .
she doesn't like me touching her stuff so what gives her rights to touch mine.
what piss me off is her first sentence is 'you are so rich.'
fucking hell i am not. this is the second reason why i don't want her to touch.
she probably wouldn't believe that i bought it for my friend first. she will think it is mine and she will say "YOU ARE SO RICH'

then she hit my butt and say 'you are so rude'

........................................................ she doesn't get the message at all. dumb.

however, there are better things for me to do than get mad. tried to get those rubber thing to cover my laptop keypad because mine is beyond hope. it is just dirty.
then the ink are off. i cannot even see the key 'A'
so i asked the shop what to do. he said 'this is the first time i seen a keypad in this state. you type very fast and a lot, right?'

ya, i am in art and social sciences after all. what do you think i do 24/7?

in the end, i need to resort to keypad stickers. quite a crazy amount of colours, need to get used to it. staring at the letters confuse me more than i don't.

what makes me laugh is he has never seen a keypad in my kind of state. lol.. is that a compliment or insult?

AHHHHH!!!

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:05:29 GMT

my brother just can't stop being a bitch. he just makes me so mad.

he suddenly want to stop the current internet and switch to the so-called free one with the cable tv.
it is free because it is slow like shit.

what i am angry is he just decides to do whatever he likes.
he doesn't even discuss with me. he is not the only one paying and using it.
what gives him the rights to just go ahead with his decision?
where are my rights to say no?

so i told him. 'fine. i will pay for it and you are not allowed to use the internet next time. stick your ass to aunt's house and never come back.'

gegege no kitaro live-action movie

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:19:49 GMT

Title: Gegege no Kitaro

Story: Kitaro is a yokai boy from the forest call gegege. Like many other yokai related stories, yokai is a group of kind-hearted of creatures but pushed far into the edges by humans. yet, they do not hate humans but learn their way to compromise with each other (initiated from the yokai side since humans cannot see them.)     however, there are always 2 sides in which some yokai are really angry and tries to take revenge or in their quest for power, they need humans as tools. kitaro will help these humans if they do ask for help through his special agency.

comment:   i usually hate and avoid live action movies made from manga of a fantasy genre as they tend to go totally wrong. many of them do. however, when i was bored, i took a stroll in the dvd shop and saw this movie. considering how hard it was to get japanese drama and movies in singapore 2 years ago due to the peak in korean craze, i was amazed to see any japanese movie and drama. eiji waltz looks just cute on the cover and so i bought the first movie.   i just finished the second movie online just now.

i wonder why the difference in mood and atmosphere for both movies? the first was like it is for kids, rather light with jokes here and there like kitaro shooting his hair off and turned bald. however, the second is just dark. the second employs all the dark and negative side of humans then slap back at you with love. the second maintain the angst till the very end when the human girl bid her farewell.

i am glad the hair stylist put in more effort in kitaro's hair in the second. the first movie is kitaro's hair is just bad.

devil may cry 4

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:29:18 GMT

i watched vash12349 on his play through for devil may cry 4. i think devil may cry has 1 very interesting character which is Dante.
dante is so cool. not cool as in FFVII cloud-ish type of cool who talks little and stands like a statue.
dante talks trash, acts like a child and still cool like shit. (something like america of hetalia).

he is so composed in a immature way. he loves insulting the demons and allows them to hit him which in turn insulted them more. this is because it goes like 'oh~~~~ he bit me. it's okay. i don't feel a thing.' then he just kill them in the next second. i am not kidding, he let the enemy stab him right through with his own sword or bite him till only his leg is left dangling out.
don't that just piss you off if you think you are that great but someone stronger is making fun of you by acting weak. it is like double attack.

the funniest thing is how dante kicks ass in all the boss fights cut scenes and in the final scene of him just cracks me. in his own shop, dante is reading his magazine while his two female acquaintances argues. then both of them glared at dante, wanting an answer to their argument. it is so funny how dante pulled his magazine higher. dante, who can beat demon boss like shattering watermelon, is intimidated by 2 women.

the irritating thing is the creative team gives dante so different personality in each game. first one, he has this 'i am noisy but i can be quiet too.;
then the second was like dante had his noisy self killed. the cg scenes are so quiet. the third was a very young dante and this dante is pure madness. the last dante in DMC4 is just gofty and he takes his time. he kills boss in a manner that says 'i have all the time in the world.'
