Yes, I’m off to Japan in 12hrs time — my first time nonetheless. Granted, I’ll be stopping by the land of my fathers, Vietnam, before I step on the land of the rising sun. Actually, the majority of the trip will be spent in Vietnam, but I’m not complaining. I’ll be sure to buy lots of fake designer clothes in Saigon. I’m also staying at a shnazzy 5-star resort, thanks to my dad. Time to tan up! Oh, and I’ll visit relatives and what not.

I’m still not sure what exactly we’re going to do in Japan, but I know I’ll stay 3 days in Tokyo, 2 days in Kyoto, and 2 days in Osaka. I’m pretty sure I’ll have enough time to stop by Akihabara, but I don’t buy a lot of merchandise in the first place. I’ll probably only get seiyuu CDs or mags. I know there is this event that Minorin and Hocchan will be doing while I’m in Japan, but it’s for Druaga and I could care less about the series. wwww

So, I’ll see you guys in 3 weeks. :)

PS: I got my Minorin DVD on Wednesday, but I’m too lazy to review it. I’ll just say that any Minorin fan should get it, even just for witnessing Jyunpaku Sanctuary - acoustic version- and Minorin’s tears of joy. Limited Editions get a delicious poster, too.

This may seem too good to be true, but recently a video of, supposedly, Gazelle singing a rendition of one of ryo’s latest Miku singles, ワールドイズマイン (World is Mine). (…Honestly, he should have waited like a month or so in between before Black Rock Shooter) Some commenters can’t believe it and think it’s an imposter, but the voice sounds so similar, it might just be her. Check it out for yourself. If you just want to listen to it, the nicosound link is here: http://nicosound.dip.jp/sound/sm3728612.

I think everyone fell in love with Ruka in this scene.

With summer at its early stages and me already becoming bored, the lack of viewing material drives me back to dramas. It’s been a while since I took a bite out of a juicy, angst-ridden, romantically challenged, tragic drama that serves as one of my guilty pleasures. It’s probably been a year since my last drama series (albeit, one not force watched). Read more

The announcement of this event has actually been around since two months ago, but I only realized it when サリヤ人 posted a notice on her blog the other day of her participation! Read more

Unfortunately I missed out on the first round, but with last day of school today I can finally address my hobbies with their much deserved attention. Read more

Inokuchi Yuka! (Tabitha from Zero no Tsukaima, Zazie Rainyday from Negima, Kamishiro Rin from Maburaho)

Takayuki Kondo (Midarezaki Ouka from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki) was also born on this day. Oh, I share the same birthday, too hurr hurr.

I guess that’s really my only reason for blogging today. I wanted to reply to the first Round Robin round (ooold news, lol), but finals have left me in despair and my teachers are TOTALLY helping by giving us tons of last minute assignments. And it’s funny, I probably shouldn’t be blogging right now since I only have a week of school left and I have so much to do. So then blogging is part of my escapism as well, perhaps. And my procrastination habits do not make it any better…

To not leave you bored, here’s my Nico Video of the day. YouTube embedded for your convenience. (But really, people ought to sign up on Nico already…) This was #26 in this week’s Nico Nico Douga Ranking, if you’re wondering.
