| 9:23pm | Say it Ain’t So! Shojo Beat Magazine to Crease Publication | | | | Drat! Another victim of the crappy economy is Shojo Beat magazine. The July 2009 will be the last issue, and it will be published June 16. The magazine first hit the stands in 2005, and has featured some shojo gems over the years, including NANA, Sand Chronicles, and Vampire Knight. The good news... | | |
| 3:08am | [Music Japan] Mirroring Nana and May’n blogs | | | | I’ve only extracted out the parts where they blogged about each other, and looks like they miss each other since Animelo 2008 probably? Not sure if they met each other during the Animelo 2009 CD recording last week. ==== Mizuki Nana、水樹 奈々 2009年5月18日 あ☆ 今日はMay’n... | | |
| 12:00am | We End Up Watching More Anime, Here’s How | | | | Two weekends ago I noted that I had watched over 100 days worth of anime. Granted that I rewatch shows habitually, this still means that I’ve completed over 150 shows, much of it over a year’s time. I have gone from casually watching anime a few episodes every weekend (and the odd marathon)... | | |
| 2:58am | May’n Blog updates! | | | | Now that I’ve started work for quite a while, I haven’t had the time or energy to peer through the words in her blog, and to translate every word and post it up on Bonkurasu anymore. =( But here’s some more prominent updates taken from her blog! 1) ANISAMA recording 150509 Photo... | | |
| 2:57am | Record of Oblivion : Kara no Kyoukai DVD 6 | | | | Hot Azaka is hot, literally. With Ryougi Shiki infiltrating and disguising as a student in an all-girls’ catholic school together with Azaka, what’s there not to like? Also, with Mizuki Nana voicing as the new character in the movie, Misaya Ouji, we could expect the horde of Nana fans... | | |
| 8:26am | Morinaga Milk’s Girl Friends Vol.1 and 2 | | | | I’m not entirely sure why I suddenly decided that I had to have these two tankubon. But when I did, Amazon.jp (even Marketplace) was out of stock, Kinokuniya Singapore refused to accept my order - something about ‘due to the content’ and the vigilant eyes of the Customs officers of... | | |
| 3:31pm | King Record Denies Dirty Old Men, Thumbs Flicked | | | | Lately I have a dry spill. Unlike traffic statistics or things that actually matter, I look at my output on this blog as a reflection of how inspired I am. It’s almost like a creativity-thermometer. But lately only silly (but nonetheless relevant) things occupy my mind– When I first read... | | |
| 3:34am | Nana Mizuki in London | | | | I’ll make the entry quick since I’m pretty tired. This week’s magazine “haul” included Dengeki Daioh June 2009, Pick-up Voice June 09, and a second copy of Seiyuu Animedia May 2009. All I can say is with the recent trend of spending and exposure Nana Mizuki is getting... | | |
| 11:16pm | NANA Vol 16 by Ai Yazawa Manga Review | | | | Title: NANA Vol 16 Author: Ai Yazawa Publisher: Viz ISBN: 9781421523750 May Contain Spoilers Poor Nana. She’s still struggling with the emotional turmoil that plagues her, and Ren up and leaving for London isn’t helping her much. She’s feeling disconnected from everyone, especially... | | |
| 8:34pm | First informal Nana fans’ gathering | | | | Yes, I’m the one wearing checkered T-shirt with a Perfume Budoukan shirt underneath NK-DS had a wonderful gathering of sorts to have Mizuki Nana fans socialize and exchange ideas and information amongst themselves. It came to me as a surprise that a good percentage of those who turned up were... | | |
| 11:38pm | Nana Mizuki Smile Gang 5th Anniversary! Shassu F!! | | | | In my continued quest to spend more money than I actually have, I ordered this little gem along with a bunch of magazines to help balance out shipping costs last week. Celebrating the 5th anniversary’s of Nana Mizuki’s Smile Gang radio show back in 2007, the DVD is basically a live recording... | | |
| 7:36am | The Daily Dose |  | | | The title of Rumiko Takahashi's brand spanking new manga is Kyōkai no Rinne and it follows a girl named Sakura Mamiya. She has the ability to see ghosts after something happens to her when she was younger. It's not exactly what you'd call original, but I hope this is in the vein of Takahashi's darker... | | |
| 4:34am | April 2009 Opening and Ending Picks | | | | Just a random list. I’ll try to Youtube the links when possible/easy. It’s so weird that I can’t do this post 1 week into the new seasonnot that I’m complaining. I think there’s something strangely magical about Hatsukoi Limited’s set. The 4-seiyuu unit Sphere picked... | | |
| 3:26am | Nanachan, Yukarin, Hocchan, and some other folks | | | | I want to tell myself this is the last time I’ll randomly buy seiyuu magazines but I know how well that’d work out ^^;; Think my life would be a lot easier if I could just get subscriptions to these magazines, so at least that way I won’t cry everytime I see 100USD+ in Amazon charges... | | |
