| 12:45am | Otakon 2009 – Day 1 – MELL A Forever17 Dancing Meme Director | | | | I think when you get unfortunately woken up at 6AM after way too little sleep, you just know it’s going to be one of those days. If it was any other day, I probably would have just tried to crash and put off as much of whatever I have to do as I could, but this being Otakon meant the complete... | | |
| 8:54pm | Natsuiro no Sunadokei – Pretty decent | | | | Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of this show, and to be honest neither have I. Although I think I might have been recommended it a long time ago by someone online. Probably the GameFaqs anime board. Anyway, this is just a 2 episode OVA, and actually I did find it not too bad. I can really... | | |
| 6:22am | Otakon 2009: Day 0, 1, MELL in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands | | | | I can’t take credit with coming up with the blog post title, but it’s just her songs were in my mouth, honest! Unlike Kalafina, I realized my lack of MELL-fu, one of the founding vocalist of I’ve Soundvocals. So what’s that, 1 down and 2 left? I would have rattled off a set list,... | | |
| 11:51am | Otakon 2009 – Day 0 – Nana Mizuki | | | | Day 0 of Otakon 2009 has come and gone. At the end of the day good times were had, badges were picked up, plans for the con were made, and money for Nana Mizuki was taken. Yes, that’s correct. Money was made in the name of Nana Mizuki. Before I get to how money was lost again due to the Nana... | | |

| 2:16am | Additional Thoughts on Super Space Time Tanabata Sonic | | | | I have a lot more to say about this concert. Surprise surprise. 1. There’s this brouhaha about lack of a DVD release mainly via some Q&A coming from Victor/SEATBELTS, prior to the concert. While the answer was a vague “no,” and a relatively definite “no,” it’s... | | |
| 5:03am | More Convention Crap, 2009 | | | | Not much sleep, jet lag, fatigue, work to do But was it worth it? Probably. (What’s scary is that it isn’t everything, even.) What I need you to do: Got any questions for MELL or Yamakan? Let me know! I’ve been looking around but time isn’t on my side. Currently trying to push... | | |

| 4:09am | Woohoo another mission well done! | | | | Remember the Nana fanclub I was involved in ‘appreciating’? The fruits of our labour was at Nana’s concert, with ‘Singapore + Malaysia’ written onto the flowers that we sent. Here’s the picture to prove it; it reads ‘Singapore + Malaysia’ in Katakana:... | | |
| 2:55pm | Tokyo Travelog 2009 Part 2 - Nana Mizuki’s Live Diamond | | | | Not a whole lot of pictures besides peaceful but chaotic crowds, but I guess this time enjoy some Kyuushu Jangara Ramen. It’s totally worth the wait and I so had that the day before but am squeezing these food pictures from Akiba over the next few blog posts. (Just for the curious ramen eater,... | | |

| 7:43am | C cupper Nana | | | | Take a look at the above picture. See anything wrong? Now think of the possibilities on how it happened. Answer after the cut. The increase in size of Nana’s right boob is actually 1) Camera angle 2) the frills on her black top is curved, and shaped like a boob. Now you know how. | | |
