Left: Nanami, Right: Yano

(I loooooooooove the art style! *A* ♥ It’s what hooked me in.)

And guess what?

The lead male playing the oh-so-handsome Yano is Ikuta Toma!

I am trusting Toma to not screw up Yano’s character.♥

When I first saw the cast, I was a little unsure because the lady playing Nanami looks mature. Which is not the appearance of Nanami. ;m;

That’s her. Yoshitaka Yuriko.

In fact, they both look a little old, but the manga does span from their teens to their early twenties. :I Their appearance doesn’t change that much though. Oh well, can’t ask for everything. I just hope they do a great job on this awesome manga!

So. Without further ado, here:

(You don’t have to watch it, btw. :I)

On July 3rd, I spontaneously ended up sleeping over Yama’s house. We always get really attached to each other on Sundays for some reason, and we’ve always wanted to have a sleepover after church. So we did.

I grabbed a bunch of stuff from home, including the Massu-birthday stuff, and we headed off to Yama’s house.

It was a pretty causal night. She mysteriously disappeared behind her desk at one point while I was reading a random book laying on her floor. Later, she emerged with a handwritten, quill-penned story about Massu and I. XD;; So far I have two stories written by my friends about Massu and I. Ha;; Why am I the one who finds this vaguely creepy?

We end up getting to sleep at 3am and wake up at around 8am by Yama’s little brother. That night, Yama kicked me a lot while she was sleeping. And flailed her arm at me. XD;;

A few hours later, we find ourselves at Yama’s grandma’s house calling up Alicia to see if she’d like to join us. An hour or three later she arrives and that’s where the video starts.

Even if the cake was made with mix and not from scratch, I PUT ALL MY LOVE INTO IT DAMMIT. XD And I made Yama and Alicia put their love in too. In the end, that is all that matters, right?

Ha, maybe we put in a little too much love because the cake was insanely sweet. xD;; I quickly got a stomachache eating that little piece.

So, Massu. Happy belated birthday to you♥ The you who I can’t get enough of. I won’t write a little tangent about what you mean to me because I just did and ended up deleting it all because I didn’t want to publish it, LOL;;

And to end– I didn’t forget about you, SHIGE! (Although I don’t have cake or anything prepared D8)

Happy birthday to you too, bro. I have a feeling I WILL enjoy your role in your new drama. xD I pray life takes you far because you are an amazing man of many talents. Very versatile. Maybe because you can do many things, there isn’t anything in particular you excel at? XD;; Hm. Maybe that explains why Yamapi’s a good actor but not a good singer while on the flip side Tegoshi is an excellent singer while not being the best actor. XD;; Things are suddenly making sense.

Wait. What about those Korean idols…?

Darn Koreans, defying logic of the universe. xD

P.S.

“Under a strict reading of the bill, killing a cockroach or other insect with a rubber slipper could be considered cruelty to animals in the second degree.”

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY STATE?

Killing cockroaches is now illegal because some lady killed a peacock with a baseball bat. I don’t even… How did this get passed? =A=;;

full of hormones.

I’m not joking. D: And it’s not like the “drama in Drama” sort of thing. Sure there were some crushes going around, but I’m talking about sexual hormones. And yes, I became involved with these sexual people >__>;; As most of the Drama club ended up.

So, if I were to find the trigger to all this, I’d lay the blame on a game we used to play behind the curtains on stage after rehearsals.

It’s a game we all refer to as, Scissors. Named after the scissors we used that belong to Lilith.

To explain simply, it was basically like Spin the Bottle/Truth or Dare where person A spins the scissors, it lands on person B, and person A dares or truths B, based on their choice. But… the truth option ended up neglected and underused to we just took it out entirely and it became a game of simply Dare.

Don’t worry, rules were initially established in the beginning. The only rules being: No sex and “What happens in Drama Club, stays in Drama Club” (but I think I can talk about it here under alias’ 8D).

I won’t go into detail about everything that went down… We’d play for hours sometimes… I’ll only talk about a few of dares mostly involving myself. I undid Howard’s belt with my teeth (It’s hard with Invisalign XD;;), I had to kiss the drama guy I found 2^nd most cute on the corner of his mouth (Chase; Justin is always #1 cute to me, and everyone knows this~), Howard nibble-kissed the area beneath my lower lip, Chase had to give me a necklace of kisses, Justin had to kiss Howard’s upper inner thigh, and I was dared by Jason to give him a lip-to-lip kiss, etc. The last dare listed was the only one I was ever nervous for because no one had ventured into those kisses until then.

So eventually the excitement of that game died down. The last time it was played was… afterschool on opening night I think?

Although it’s a pretty bad game, it ended up strengthening our bond as a cast and Drama family somehow or another. >___>;; I definitely got closer to Howard and Jason through this, I think, because in this game I was able to come out of my little shell and became my more outgoing self. Once I got out of that initial shyness though, I got mega crazy. >A<;;

Normally with my group of friends, I would consider myself pretty outgoing most of the time, but when I get into situations where my real self is dragged out in Drama, I become even more energetic and daring and just all over the place! In a dare, I had my hand all up in Howard’s lower regions without any hesitation whatsoever >A>;; WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MEEEE?

…

WHAT WOULD MASSU THIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNK? OAO Oh, poo.

Oh, but things get even worse… On our preview night, I was talking with Chase about Scissors and I was wondering how important kisses were to him, a rather playboy-like person. Personally, I think kissing is something that is supposed to be meaningful and treasured.

So, I asked, “Would you be okay with kissing any of the Drama girls?”
Unfortunately, an onlooker of some sort suggested that he kiss me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I was still processing what she said through my slow mind before I heard him say, “Sure”, and his face dove down on mind unexpectedly.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My response? ““Y-you kissed me with your mouth open?!” D8 Yeah, he did. On my “Wtf is happening?” face.

Sigh… ( -___-) But that whole night, I didn’t feel any sort of stage nervousness; I got over that a long time ago. No. Instead I felt butterflies all night. Butterflies and all that lovey dovy crap. (Ah, excuse my language.)

And I H.A.T.E.D.  I.T. I can’t believe I got crush on that little… TAMAKI. Yes, Tamaki as in Ouran High School Host Club(Yey, excited for the live action~). AAAAAAGUUUH. I was thoroughly disappointed in myself. >M< I especially hated it because I managed to last almost a year without a silly school girl crush. Since 7^th grade, there was always one guy I had a crazy crush on throughout the year. I tend to have strong affections toward guys I like >A>;; Can you tell? *coughMassucough* I didn’t even realize it myself for a while.

Ugh, moving on.

Back to the main topic, Drama Club. We had just finished our last show of the year, and all I could think about is how I wished it would never end. I can’t believe I used to mope so much about going to Drama. It feels like so much had changed in that month, so much new and stronger bonds were made.

The thing is, I got mostly closer to the seniors. Why must I be so late? When I think of them graduating, I think of Drama without these amazing people, and I start feeling that lump in my throat. As friends, I’ve definitely got closer to all of them, especially Justin and Howard.

You know those moments where you find yourself alone with someone and you end up talking about personal topics? Yeah, I’ve had that with both these guys.

From first impressions, Howard may seem like a silly pervert, but when I sat down and talked with him before our 2^nd show, I saw a different him when he told me about himself.

Howard has this simple and easy philosophy. He thinks that secrets don’t hold much importance when it comes to sharing it with others. Sure you need trust, but that’s all that’s needed; he holds no fears or doubts. In fact, in December, a week after he found out he liked Lilith, he straight up confessed to her. She was cool with it, but didn’t like him back. With all this flirting, he still makes it clear he still loves her.

He told me about the more tragic parts of his life as well; his blood father, whom he had never met, that ran away, his stepdad who actively cheats on his busy mother, he lost his virginity in a room with 5 others (granted 4 of them were sleeping) with a girl he dated in freshman year that had no love and sex every day.

I didn’t really know what to say. I was sitting up against the stage and he was lying down with his head around a foot from my hip. I remember looking down at his face. He was looking straight up into the ceiling while telling his story, emotions lost on his face. I reached down and played with his hair in a small sort of comfort. >A> I don’t know if that would even be comforting, but I wanted to give him a reassuring touch.

I ended up asking him questions. I felt I could vaguely relate with him, so I wanted to know how he felt or what he did, if it was any different from me.
The conversation wasn’t awkward at all, rather it felt natural, like we were alone when in reality there were at least 15 other people in the cafeteria. I wished we could stay like that for a bit longer. I wish I had that simple philosophy of his. I wish I could have responded to his story with my own.

Another rule of life he has that I wish I could follow is, live life with no regrets.

How is he so strong?

—

Well, continuing with the show, everything went by veeeery smoothly. Sure, there were little mishaps here and there, but nothing terribly big, thank God. The magic of theater smiled upon us.

So the show came and went and soon we were hanging out in the teacher’s lounge around 10 PM after closing night.

The hormones then returned.

Jason pushed me into a corner and started leaning down asking, “Is this awkward?” I was already well used to it because of Drama Club, so I replied that I wasn’t. He then put his hands around my waist and leaned down even closer and whispered in my ear.

That is where I draw the line. I HATE when people whisper in my ear. >:|

Thankfully, or maybe not so thankfully, that was when Howard ran by and shoved ice down the back of my shirt. And my shirt was tucked in. God.

As payback, I took my cold water bottle and splashed it all over him. But, I failed to remember that he’s really strong. He took the rest of the water from me, sat down, pulled me on his lap, and dumped the rest of the water on me. >8| Asdfgasdfgasdfg.

Rain tried to help by shoving ice down his back, but in return, he caked her. That day was the birthday of two of our cast members so there was cake. Howard took a big piece, smashed it on the side of her face, and wiped his hand on her nylon pantyhose.

At least he was kind enough to help us wash it off in the single-toilet men’s bathroom. xD;; We were in the men’s bathroom because it was close and no one in the Drama Club even cares which one is which XD;;

Before long, Howard needed to pee. He dropped his pants(underwear still on, lol) and stood by the toilet waiting for us to leave. Of course we didn’t listen to him, considering he was the cause of all this. Jason was in there too and he offered to pee with Howard if it made him feel any less awkward XD;; I can’t even remember what happened, but Howard ended up flashing his pubes at us. That was the third time I’ve seen it. Three times too many.

Eventually he left and Rain and I quickly finished cleaning the best we could. (Even if that meant there was cake on the door and floor in the process) When we walked out the bathroom, we saw Howard standing still, up on the grassy field. We stared for a while before we heard the sound of liquid running.

He was peeing on the field.

We both yelled, “Ewwww~” loud enough for him to hear, and he replied, “What? Why you watching me pee?!” And he zipped up his pants.

Only to move to a nearby bush, probably for privacy, even if the bathroom was now vacant.

Even more ridiculous things happened after that. Such things like, Howard getting a random boner while a few of us were sitting together. I had the honor of feeling it on my butt. I… I really don’t want to talk about how that happened. >___>;; Please. He said when it touched my butt, it wouldn’t go down >A>;;;;;;;;;;;; Ewwwwwwww. And after a while, he started violently rubbing his crotch, and when we asked why, he said he wanted it to come back. >A>;;;;;;;;

That was the day when Alicia told me that she thought Howard might have feelings for me. I denied it at first, but after a while, I started seeing it too…

Rain had once told me that Howard flirts with girls on different levels. She believes herself and another Drama girl are on the same level. She also believes that Lilith and I are on the same level. Even more, Howard himself told me, “I only flirt like this with you and Lilith.”

I honestly don’t know what to make of that.

And to add to this, I was asked to sign this green ball that all the Drama seniors were given. On Howard’s, I wrote a few things and among those things was, “Thanks for all the MEANINGLESS flirting. It was kinda fun.”

When he got around to reading it, he looked at me and jokingly yelled, “MEANINGLESS!?” And from then, we had a little yell-off where we were up in each other’s faces. It went sorta like this:

(H= Howard, M= Me)
H: MEANINGLESS?!
M: Yes, MEANINGLESS. As in it had no real emotion!
H: You think that was MEANINGLESS?
M: I DO think it was MEANINGLESS. Can you say it wasn’t?

And from then, he didn’t say anything. He kinda looked off to the side and avoided my question.

:\ THAT GUY.

He should at least answer since he already got me to start slightly feeling all these gross lovey emotions over him.

:X

Ahwhateveralready.

What’s wrong with me and guys lately? Have I just been like this because of my lack of a good relationship in two and a half years? Am I just some lonely girl looking for anything vagely attractive expressing the slightest bit of interest towards my way? Dude, that sounds so pathetic. ;n; I hope I’m just over thinking this. Stop ranting, self.

I hate love. D8 Well, I hate teenage love. I hate liking two people at the same time. I hate hormones. I hate love dramas. Dude, I should just write a hate list already to get out all my frustrations. >8|

God, I even played the “Awkward Game” with Jason. And I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I DIDDDDDDDDD. (Also, I hate how I overuse my shift button.)

If you’ve heard of the “Nervous Game”, then the Awkward Game is so much worse. You just try to get the other person to feel awkward with any means necessary aside from actually raping them or anything, lol.

Yeah. Uh.

Uh.

(We kissed for a while, we were all touchy, my hand met his tender areas, I ended up backing out. I will never speak of this with any friend aside from Alicia who was there to witness and gawk at it all.)

Please, never let me think of this for as long as I live. Please, God, everyone makes stupid decisions. Why do I always make stupid decisions with GUYS? Am I just such an over hormone-y person that I just have to kiss every guy who offers? Or is it just that it was around 11:00 PM and I was very tired? God, I’m ranting again.

(I didn’t even mention that one time in 8^th grade when I met this guy who I spent half the day talking to, went to his house when it became dark out, and kissed him tons because I was literally half-asleep.)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. I HATE THIS ABOUT MYSELF. I DO STUPID THINGS WHEN IT GETS DARK AND I’M WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

(I didn’t even mention how he was two years younger than me, making him a 6^th grader.)

SUPER OTL;; At least he was the one who persisted on kissing me while I responded, “I’m so sleeeeeeeepy. -o-”

Why am I suddenly sharing embarrassing things of my past? D:

I should just stop before I shame myself any further. QnQ
I will just try to save myself by saying, I will never love Chase in that way and I don’t completely like Howard.

Sorry for taking forevar to post this… I didn’t have the guts to. And so much more has been happening aside from this, I can’t even pay attention to writing this because I’m beginning to forget everything. OTL;; I have bad memory, but that might not be so bad.

Goodbye till next time. I really, really wanted to write about other things instead, lol.

Before I go to sleep, I will wish that NEWS gets more activity and Yamapi will think back on those 7 years of the blood, sweat, and tears that fell to make NEWS what it is now.

I wish that rumor is just a stupid rumor.

Also, Tegoshi in a toga is very funny.

I’ve been procrastinating on writing a post about the last days of school and other events because I’ve been spamming Taiko no Tatsujin on my PSP, lol.

It started when I went to the mall with my friends. SAWS really wanted to go to the arcade to play the arcade version of Taiko no Tatsujin.

I was like, “Oh cool, another drum game…”

THEN. While she was scrolling through the songs, I saw LOVE SO SWEET. I freaked out, jumped around, then hugged her, lol.

Then I saw Daite Senorita. EVEN BETTAR. OwO

I know it’s not as great, but then I saw 100% Yuuki but by Hikaru Genji, lol.

Among those, I also saw some J-pop songs I knew like Kiseki by GReeeeN, O2 by Orange Range, Tsubomi by Kobukuro, Prisoner of Love by Utada Hikaru, 88 by L.MC, Blue Bird by Ikimono Gakari, and other various anime songs.

And that is how I got addicted.

Sadly there was no JE songs on the PSP versions. D: But there is a third PSP game coming out next month, and it has Yoku Asobi Yoku Manabe by NYC. Eh, it’s close enough ;___;

–

So anyway, I’ve been looking for the recent Itte Q downloads. You know, the Tegoshi vs. Miyagawa in Germany~ >w< I heard they’re cannonballing. In my search, I found some pictures of the episode:

Oh yum yum.

OH YUMYUM. ♥ OuO

I am very happy and excited to watch this episode.

That is all.

Bye.

To start off, an update on Alicia and her becoming a Tegomass fangirl.

She’s trying to memorize the lyrics to Chu Chu Chu so she can sing it with me! >w< I’m gladly helping her learn the lyrics and, before the DVD came out, I even taught her the chorography of the chorus from what I saw in the concert report on SCP.

You know how the DVD pre-orders are sent out a day before it’s released? The day the Tegomass no Ai DVD was delivered out to people, we had a preview of our Drama production on a school night and I was so dead tired afterwards that I knocked out after I showered. ;___; At least I didn’t pass out on my bathroom floor. D:

So, I brought my laptop to school the next day with my 4G modem and downloaded it during rehearsals. When rehearsals ended and we hung around after as usual, I started watching the concert and that was when Jason, the Drama vocal director who hates Asian idols, came by and watched with me. I was kinda nervous, because I didn’t want harsh judgment on my cute little boy/men. After a few minutes in, he complimented their harmony.

Ohyesbby.

From then, he began making comments on small things like how good Massu is at singing and how much of a girl Tegoshi looks like, lol, while I just spazzed out beside him over the concert and occasionally shook his arm in excitement. Sadly, he didn’t like Tegoshi’s voice all that much. D: He liked the “unique” effects and such of their concert though. xD;;

After he left, Justin and Alicia joined me, but Alicia had to leave soon so I skipped to Chu Chu Chu for her. IT WAS OMG-SO-FREAKING-AMAZING. Both of us were making incoherent fangirl sounds and all THREE of us did the chorus dance! Later, Alicia asked why Massu looks like he’s in pain while he sings. XD He kinda does. I just replied that he was so passionate that it was overbearing for him, lol.

Hah. I don’t think I’m going to write about the concert in detail because there is TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT. My brain might possibly overload if it didn’t already by simply watching the concert sub-less.

All I can think to write about the concert at the moment:

• Chu Chu Chu was unbearably chock full of dork, cute, fanservice, and stupid therefore making it my favorite song by Tegomass and of the concert.
• Massu was on a mega concert high. I can relate considering we finished our shows. C:
• Hanamuke wasn’t as amazing as in the last concert for some reason D:
• The remixed Ai Ai Gasa sounded like relaxing lounge music to me. XD;;
• Hajimete no Asa was performed so beautifully. ;w; Dramatic pauses and perfect timing are always handsome, lol.
• I have confirmed that Massu is a sexy beast on the keyboard and Tegoshi looks nearly as hot eating a banana.
• They must have been tired singing Highway D:
• I loved Cheetah, Gorilla, Orangutan xD I’m still surprised Massu cried at such a happy song.
• AND AI NO NAKA DE. Oh my God. I love that song so much. I know if anything, it’s a song for the fans like Chu Chu Chu, but the lyrics and all the Tegomass scenes playing in the background make it seem like a song for each other ;w; You can’t say the lyrics DON’T match them. And for some reason, when Tegoshi was lipsyncing Massu’s, “Superstarni naritaikara~” part I felt their connection *__* Tegoshi’s face looked so calm and his mouth looked so soft and relaxed~ And when Massu was singing this song, he put so much of himself into it! You can feel his love and emotions from just watching him sing >w< ♥ I love that guy so much. I would LOVE a studio recorded version of this.

And, in other happy fandom/life related news…

A miracle has happened. I got Yama to read a NEWS RPF. Oh. My. God.

I couldn’t believe it myself.

It was a really awesome gen. fic that I was talking about at church with Yama. (Yes, I’m shameless about my guilty pleasures once I start.) So when we went to her Grandma’s house like we do every week, I started reading the fic and I couldn’t help but show her the funny parts when she decided to lie in my lap. She found it funny as well so she read along with me~

She’s still not completely okay with it, but she’s cool with me reading it. I feel so influential lately.

AND. Speaking of boyband fics… Something amazing happened in a Drama club meeting. I was making a Massu statue out of some random putty that someone found when I heard something that caught my attention. I looked up and saw Rae speaking to Lilith, the words that came out of her mouth unbelievable.

“There was this really amazing (insert SHINee namesquish) fic that I read. I have it saved on my phone.”

Oh my god, another RPF reader whom I know personally!

Lilith’s reaction told me she isn’t used to RPF’s or she just doesn’t really read them in general, though. XD;;

I went on to saying quietly, “Oh my God, SHINee fics?”, with a big smile, which she nodded to. I then reached my hand out to her and gave her a modest high-five XD;; I wanna talk to her about that someday, lol.

Rae is a really cool person, actually. She’s an amazing singer, she’s gorgeous with a great fashion sense, she can dance, she’s into Asian boys, and she’s so kind—even to the creepy otaku guy everyone treats terribly. I’m proud I don’t treat him like the others do. =___=;;

—

I had a graduation to go to of a childhood friend I hadn’t seen in years and I had to meet up with my mom at a mall after she finished work. So, I went there a little earlier so I could stalk around this used bookstore that occasionally has idol magazines.

And guess what? THERE WAS A TOOOOON. C8 Ranging from 2006-2010!

Sadly, I only had $12 on me, and only could afford two magazines… D: I got the May 2010 Potato and the December 2007 Wink Up because they both had NEWS posters! ;D

The next day I had church and decided to bring the Wink Up. After service, I showed Yama the magazine and when she flipped to the pages about Yukan Club, I pointed out how I didn’t really like Akanishi.

So… she asked if she could… No wait, I’ll just show you. This is the reason for the warning in the beginning, hopefully I don’t get hated on for this. It’s all in good humor, and I don’t mean to offend anyone, okay? D:

Oh wait, there’s more!

Block 1: Dirty Akanishi Pirate and Yama’s attempt to dye Junno’s hair.
Block 2(Upper right): Girl- “O_O” Junno- “Crap, my ears are showing… This might screw up Black Jack’s plans…”
(Reference to Aisha’s Black Jack’s Bunny Brigade@DA)
Block 3:(Lower right): PFFFFFFFFT. The best of Yokohama.

She tried to draw dog ears on Akanishi xD;; It’s just kind hard to tell in the scan. Yama believes dogs make the best lovers. ♥

Block 1: She wanted to give him a hairdo. Not bad, I must say.
Block 2: IT’S SO HARD TO SCAN BY THE BINDING. D8< Anyway,  mustache/beard/man-blushing Akanishi is saying “I mustache you a question!” XD;; We over use that joke at school.

My favorite out of her creations.

Double monocle. 8D How do you get any better than that?

Group picture! Animal women and derped out JE men.

Junno: Yama doesn’t like his hair xD;; I didn’t either. So, she stuck a bow on him in reference to Kagamine Rin from Vocaloids C:
Akanishi: Gave him sexy glasses and tried to help him solve his terribly done Rubix cube xD
Yokohama: Matryoshka‘ed out. 8D

And to end:

Although I don’t ship these two, I thought of a cute namesquish for Massu and Tabe XD;; People might have already thought of it because I’m slow but, Tabemass! (Get it? Get it? “to eat” ) -shot-

…Goodnight world, I hope I get over my cold so I can go to the carnival with the Drama Club on Friday ;___; Being sick at the start of break is so NOT COOL.

P.S. CONGRATULATIONS TO ENTRANCIA FOR GRADUATINGGGGGG~

For you, who is graduating from her stressful high school life and charging into college~!
She is by far coolest friend I’ve met this year!

This is my favorite verse of Sotsugyo Album. ♥ And I hope you like it.
Forgive the background noise(fishtank filter, lol) and my nasal-y voice. As I said earlier, I have a cold ;A; I wish I had done this earlier.

(Translation credit: Spilledmilk25@LJ!)

Last Saturday was the event I’ve been waiting all year for, K-KON! It’s the premier anime convention in my state~ Even if I’m well into the JE fandom, I’ll always have room in my heart for anime. ♥ 

So, I’ll recall the events now~

I started off my day the right way. By watching anime. Madoka Magica to be specific.
◕ ‿‿ ◕

Alicia, Kuro, and his sister were going to meet at my house and Yama was going to pick all of us up to go to the convention. Alicia came half an hour early(and I couldn’t finish up the last episode of Madoka Magica D:), so I let her inside my house, which is a really rare occasion because mother and I don’t really like people in the house.

On our way inside, we found a freaky moth camouflaged as a leaf!

Alicia nudged it with her foot, and it crawled a bit, lol.

(EDIT: Alicia found out it was actually a Pandora Sphinx Moth and it’s located mainly in North America near grape vines. Neither of which my house is in or by. So I made up the story that it wouldn’t move when Alicia nudged it because it was tired from its long journey here to escape his parents wishes to marry another Pandora Sphinx Moth and he eloped with some local species of moth.)

Anyway, I showed Alicia to my room to show off the corner filled with NEWS/JE ♥

…She stared at it for a while then proceeded to facepalm and shake her head at me.

…

Eventually, everyone arrived and we set off to the Kon!

—

The day started off pretty well with a Hetalia Q & A panel with cosplayers.

Tis the Russia cosplayer, she was pretty funny in the panel. Bad picture because she kept moving around. D8

After that, we explored the halls of the lovely Dealers Room and Artist’s Alley I Swear, that’s my favorite thing about con.

“decorative ear stabbings”

Tegomass colored Monokuroboo~♥ I wanted it SO BADLY, but it was kinda pricey D:

Nyan Cat from this video, lol.

Other events we attended were:

• A Lolita Fashion Show,

• A panel with the Japanese voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi 
• And a Sticky Note/Scribble/Thumbprint art challenge.

The Ask an Anime Character though, was tons of fun. Basically, they have the voice actor guests go behind the curtain and answer fan questions as their most popular characters.

The characters, if I recall correctly, were Koga from Inuyasha, Konata from Lucky Star, Haruhi from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Piccolo from Dragon Ball, Yoruichi from Bleach, Faye from Cowboy Bebop, and Duo from Gundam Wing.

A LOT of people picked on Piccolo from Dragon Ball for being green and asexual with eggs that come out of his mouth. SAWS(refer to this for short descriptions of my friends/family), cosplaying a female human form of Kyubey from Madoka Magica, asked him if, in turn for a wish, would he want to become a Magical Girl, lol. (Referencing Madoka Magica if you don’t understand…)

And now the cosplay pictures!

There were more crossdressers, but I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of them ;___;

SAWS and Takashi with their matching girl/boy Kyubey cosplay~

Tis a casual Tsuna from Katekyo Hitman REBORN! Not as many REBORN cosplayers as I thought there would be D:

Masamune Date from Sengoku Barasa *w* ♥ Although I’m more familiar with the Samurai Warriors Masamune -3-

Azunyan from K-ON~! There was also a male version of Yui with her XD;;

I would think most would be familiar with this NANJIDESUKA?

THIS. THIS IS. LOL. Troll face, ohyesbby.

Himiko and Taigong Wong from Warriors Orochi! OMG, I’ve never seen anyone in K-Kon cosplay a character from the Warriors series *___* AND YES. TAIGONG WONG. My former obsession

Lol, enough of the cosplay spamming(and making it painfully obvious how much of a nerd I used to be…). Now it’s time to show off what I bought! :3

Products:

My new love in earbud form. Mameshiba~

Felt takoyaki necklace.

Pink and yellow ice cream ring. 8D Impulse buy for $3.

Expensive, yes, but it was for a Japan fundraiser. Plus it was really cute…

Pins:

LONGCAT~ The record for amount of body pins purchased was 21.

Can you tell what it’s spelling? XD;;

Freebie pin and a Pedo Bear pin, lol.

More Mameshiba~ I met another Mabeshiba fan through the purchase of the first pin. XD

KYUBEY. YES. I looooooooove Kyubey~. And the second pin is a gift for Justin. XD He likes drawing Jigglypuffs with manly faces so I thought of him when I saw that pin. When I asked the vendors if I could buy the pin, they were shocked that someone was actually buying it XD I was their first and probably last buyer.

EDIT: God, Justin’s a jerk XD He didn’t like the pin so I gave him some other things.

Now, the last section.

Commissions: XD Uh… It’s of Massu and me. Massu being on the left and myself on the right if you couldn’t tell. Some of my friends couldn’t tell us apart, lol…
I was hunting for cheap $1 commissions and this was only 50¢! Originally, I asked for just Massu, but then I asked for a drawing of myself as well. I guess she thought I wanted the drawings to be together when she asked, “Do you want it holding hands or you fangirling over him?” XD;; So that is how this came to be.

And this. Omg, this is amazing. It was another $1 commission I got from my friend who had a table at con. It’s the same girl who drew the gift I sent to Entrancia~ I asked for, “Myself in Matryoshka form!” AND SHE DID BEYOND EXPECTATIONS. I am in love with it. Completely and utterly. That is the beauty of commissions, not knowing what to expect. I am totally getting more next year.

And this is the end of all the junk/GOLD I raked up at con. :3

Sadly there were few traces of JE ANYWHERE. There were only two things JE related that day.

The first one happened when I was in line to buy food at the 7-11 across from the convention center. Right behind me was a girl with Daiki pins and uchiwa. I stared at the uchiwa and said, “I-is that…”. She then nodded at me. “Hey! Say! JUMP? :O” After getting past that, I complained to her about the terrible lack of JE things anywhere in con D: I was too shy after that to talk to her further…

The second happening was right before I left con. I passed by a television set out by the information booth when I heard a familiar song and familiar voices…

“Omoide zutto zutto wasurenai sora futari ga hanarete ittemo”

Oh, Love so Sweet~ >w<

I stopped dead in my tracks once I heard it and twisted my head toward the sound. XD;; And yes, I took a picture of it, so what? Also, my friend had told me that they were playing a bunch of NEWS songs earlier and I missed it ;____;

And this concludes my report on K-Kon. Now, go enjoy your life and tell one person out there that you love them genuinely.

P.S. Happy belated birthday to Yamapi and Koyama XD;; I’m too tired to write them a happy birthday post.

So, I felt like catching up. Talking about the things I’ve been doing, etc. And to start off, the fandom things I haven’t talked about.

Truth be told, I just listened to UNUSUAL all the way through with my full attention today… I knew when it was released and all, but I wasn’t too interested. Now, I must say, I really like the song I don’t even mind Yamapi’s often scratchy voice, it’s catchy enough for me not to care, and Namie’s voice is really something.

And on the topic of Yamapi, I’ll finally mention SUPERGOOD, SUPERBAD. Honestly? I don’t really listen to much of the songs. The songs I listen to most often in the album have to be PARTY DON’T STOP, TOMO, and MOLA. Yeah, I don’t even know. 

PARTY DON’T STOP is pretty catchy and I always giggle when he says “Lick em’ like mayonnaise.” My favorite thing that came out of his new album, is all the YamapixMayos I’ve seen.
As for TOMO, I like the beat in the beginning >A> And it had me humming it a lot.
Then MOLA… I used to borderline dislike the song, because such blatant sexual songs with no humor isn’t really my thing. I would listen to American music if that’s what I wanted. But then I suddenly found myself singing along with Yamapi in the shower. Oh well, whatever.

THEN, the news we’ve been waiting so patiently, nearly a year, for. Yes, the Tegomass no Ai DVD in all its godly-ness. I unnecessarily remind my friends even though they don’t care. The best thing? It’s release date week.

Tue: Drama production preview
Wed: ♥ TEGOMASS NO AI RELEASE DATE ♥
Thur: Opening night
Fri-Sat: Show dates/Closing night

What a  glorious week, no? I think I’m more excited for the DVD than the show truthfully…;; Even if this is the last year Justin’s with us before he graduates >A> Darn fandom, making me function abnormally… I love you so much. ( 휴Д휴);

What other fandom related things can I talk about? OH YES. My friend, Alicia. She handed me her flashdrive and told me I could put NEWS/Tegomass songs on there for her if I wanted to. AND BOY DID I WANT TO. The day before this, I showed her the video of Tegoshi singing that beautiful Ai Nante on Shounen Club Premium and when I asked what she thought, she replied, “Tegoshi’s voice is pretty cute.”
The first song she listened to was one I talked about often for how cute it is, Chu Chu Chu. SHE LOVED IT! When she told me that she liked Tegomass, I felt like my heart stopped ;w; Finally, she understands, if only a little.

And to end in the fandom section, Tegoshi’s new hair… it reminds me of Massu’s LIVEx3 hair but with a different shade of blond and longer…

Tegoshi hair:

Massu hair:

It has that blondish-brown-on-top-black-underneath thing going on. Personally, I don’t really like that general style… >___>

Now I wanna complain, just a little on something that I can’t really stand. (As a warning, I’m not going to sound nice about some of these people. D<)

Kids these days. (And this guy’s only a year younger than me.)

“ever notice that the word “believe” has the word “lie” in it?!?!?! sort of like my life….you may believe that I’m evil and darker then usual but thats a lie
hm…what first.well I’m Asian don’t ask which race cause I won’t tell u. I like to draw sketch manga u name it I draw it I’m very random.Music is my life so don’t turn the music down. So that makes me I’m currently dating someone that loves me very much and won’t live without me. if u wanna know more ask me. oh ya I’m different but not in a way that you think”

All this, which is unedited and raw from his Facebook bio, made me want to hit my head on the table. This is the person my friend is dating. I don’t even like my friend, and I think she could do better. No wait, maybe not. She’s a jerk.

She’s super stuck up, she thinks she knows everything, she thinks she’s good at everything,  she severely damaged Michelle’s relationship with her boyfriend and she claims that she’s being dragged into it when she’s the one who started it in the first place. Seriously, what kind of person would try to break their friends up? Apparently, she thought he was too good for her or something. In my opinion, Michelle is losing out on him. The guy is really immature and one of those fake suicidal types that go all, “Oh, I’ll kill myself because of this small problem that won’t matter once I hit adulthood!”
When Michelle found the texts of this conversation, she cried for half an hour.

=___=;; Now that that’s out of my system, why don’t I share what my Facebook bio is?

“I am annoying.

I blabber on and on about NEWS and Tegomass to people who couldn’t care less.

I have amazing friend who can put up with this♥

A perfect way to make me happy is to bring me Massu’s pants.
With said man in (or out of) them.”

I don’t think any of my Facebook friends will stumble upon this Hopefully.

And because I was speaking about relationships within my circle of friends, Yama finally got herself a boyfriend! Both her and the guy have been single all their life, they happened to fall in love with each other, and he got the courage to ask her. ♥ How perfect, right?

He’s from Japan too! Came straight from Kanagawa in… 6th or 7th grade? I dunno. And of course, he’s super smart. Especially in math; he’s a junior in AP Calculus. XD;; Yama was embarrassed when he was going through her things and found her report card.

Oh GOD! I was so happy for them, I can’t even explain how delighted I felt! Michelle was even crying because she was so overjoyed at the sight. (Yeah, if you haven’t noticed, Michelle’s quite the emotional one. XD;;)

They’ve been nothing but oodles of cute recently. I called her cute so many times she got annoyed, so I said instead of “cute”, I call her “handsome”. XD

Lol, an actual quote from a few days ago, “Aw, Yama’s butt is so handsome~”

—

As an ending note, remember that song meme I tried to do? Well I forgot all about it too I’m terrible with these kinds of things… So, I’ll add in one when I feel like it. Ha, bending rules to better suit my failings.

So, A song that reminds you of someone

I can relate a lot of songs to people, so I looked through my iPod and picked a song that reminded me of a NEWS member.

The song is a Vocaloid song called Rolling Girl, and it reminds me of Tegoshi and Massu; specifically in 2003 when NEWS was starting out, and he worked so hard to get to where he is now.

I’ll just quote a few lines.
“Fail again, fail again
after ending your search for mistakes, it spins again
Once more, once more
I’ll also roll today”

“‘Are you better now? It’s okay.
Let go, you must be tired as well, right?’”

A lot of people find different meanings in this song. I see it as a girl trying her hardest, again and again, to please everyone or maybe someone in particular, only to end in fail. No matter what, she keeps trying, even if she’s getting hurt or being hurt. Then, one person steps out and finally tells her the words she yearned to hear.

Can you kinda see how I related it to Tegoshi and Massu? Tegoshi was trying so hard to improve and be accepted into his group of seemingly judging and unfamiliar faces. Then in the midst of it all, Massu befriends him, helps him out, pulls out the side of Tegoshi that was always hidden around the members. I hope I got my point across. xD;; I couldn’t find a better song that I could relate with a NEWS member…

Anyway, so long~ I had another post waiting, so maybe I’ll publish that later!

Now there’s a Tsunami warning here predicted to hit around 2 am and it’s all over the news.

Hopefully it’s not too bad.

So, I’ll just write whatever I remember.

I was sick for 4 school days. FFFUUUUUU. MY GRADES DROPPED. Mid-quarter progress report was so terrible that I don’t even want to remember them. ;___; And this is coming from someone who normally doesn’t care about her grades.

Anyway, I went to the doctor on that Thursday, so I could get a note and go to school. (Apparently, if you’re absent for more than 3 days, you need a doctor’s note or you could go to court. =___= Troublesome.)

Everything was fine, but when we went back to the car, it wouldn’t start.

Long story short, the car’s starter was broken so we had to find a tow truck company whose truck could fit in the parking structure. We did find one eventually, it took a while for it to arrive, and we went to the mechanic to get it fixed. All this took almost 5 hours (Note: I was still SICK) and over a thousand dollars that could have been used for JAPAN. D:<

Oh, well :\

——

I think I’ll just list whatever else happened in the past few weeks.

• A few Saturdays ago, I went into town and explored Waikiki~ Even if I was still sick, it was fun C: We saw big colorful parrots on a tree, a man who painted himself all gold pretending to be a statue to scare people(He freaked me the hell out when I was little @_@), we got lost and walked a bunch, etc.
• Later that day, an employee who looked around 19 years old at the McDonalds I was at asked me out. >_______>;; I turned him down… Sorry, dude, I gots me some Massu to pursue.
• In drama, we started learning a new dance that involves a male partner and a lot of lifts, dips, hand-holding, and getting close. DO NOT WANT. When Chase and I were practicing together, he was teaching me this one part where we’re supposed to nearly press the front of our bodies together, but he literally did. I very clearly felt his thigh pressed between my legs. DO NOT WAAAAAANT. The worse part about it is, whenever I look into his eyes(which we have to do a lot), I start giggling like an idiot. D: Damn his dorky expressions.
• Charlie did this dance with all of the girls in this number so far, and when we were walking home, he ranked us from lightest to heaviest. D:< Thankfully I wasn’t the heaviest, but I was 3rd in the list of 6 girls…
• The following week, instead of rehearsing, Justin and Charlie ended up battling in Pokemon and Justin just cancelled the entire rehearsal. Woo.
• Rehearsals were cancelled again on Friday because there was extremely heavy rain right after school. My friends and I took pieces of paper and raced each other down a slanted sidewalk that had water running down it. (I used a cough drop wrapper with a layer of wax, so I had the upper hand, lol) Then Yama and I started folding origami boats with more cough drop wrappers, stuck cockroaches on them, and stranded them in the middle of a huge deep puddle.
• That same Friday, one of the guys in drama, along with some football players, started sliding down a steep hill in front of the school either shirtless or in their underwear. The ones in their underwear were suspended, lol.
• Went to the mall that day, ended up seeing Alicia, Justin, and Charlie eating at the same place we were at. Justin was upset with me because I didn’t go with them to the mall instead. ;A; He made weird sad faces at me and then ended up doodling a cute chibi of me! ♥
  
• On Saturday, I had a dream where I went hiking late at night with my church friends. We were running along a narrow path, one side was a steep dirt mountain, and the other side was a cliff. Far off, at the bottom of the cliff also running close by, were these strange giant animals. They had the legs/wings/face of an ostrich, the fur/feet of llamas, pink rabbit ears, and a long giraffe neck. I asked this girl what they were and she replied “…Oh my God. Look at their EARS!”.
  As we were running, they started running closer to us, their heads able to reach us on the cliff. It was kinda scary, but they were really nice~ As we continued, we encountered an area where the path was cut off with a deep pit seemingly leading to nowhere. Mr. Youth Group Leader then turned to a rock and asked it to move the earth to make a path for us… and the earth replied with something along the lines of “Sure thing, pal!” and it did indeed move. D: Wtf.
• Had auditions for the new drama production! Originally I wanted to go on Thursday, but I went, unprepared, on Tuesday. I had wanted to sing an English fan cover of a K-Pop song I really liked:  But since I didn’t know all the lyrics, my friend told me to sing a fan cover of a different song… It’s a kinda dirty song though, but I like singing it:  I auditioned for the maid. She apparently is obsessed with cleaning. Secretly, Justin told me that when he was creating the characters, he made the maid for me, so it seems about right for me to audition for her. He also said that he made the King character for Chase, and it’s perfect for him.
  EDIT: I didn’t get the maid. D: I got the “new witch”. Her personality is too boring for me ;A; She’s too sensible. Alicia got the maid though. xD

Just last week when Alicia, Justin, and I were walking home, something really pissed me off. There were these two Caucasian guys who looked around their mid-20′s walking behind us. Seeing Caucasians isn’t too common here. There are some, but not that many. Anyway, one of the guys who was carrying a skateboard said, “Hey, nice purse.” This was obviously directed to Justin, who uses a messenger bag. The man started turning into a different path, but he said one more thing. “Hey, faggot, I said nice purse.”

I WANTED, SO BADLY, TO PUNCH HIS FACE AND KICK HIM WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE. Don’t mess with our Justin. He probably is way more amazing than either one of those guys will ever be.

My arms felt numb when he said that and I glanced over at Justin, whose face I couldn’t read clearly. But he did look mildly hurt, as if he were masking his true emotions. As we continued walking, we saw them crossing a road ahead of us and Alicia said, “I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I hope they get run over by a car…” and Justin and I agreed.

And lastly, things about this week. Oh God, I can’t even remember anything.

I remember how I was secretly bitter about the part I got in drama ;A; When we were rehearsing songs, supporting characters barely had any singing lines, especially me(total solo lines for the supporting witches: 1 each.). And the parts I got to sing… I hated.

In the cast of characters, most of the supporting are made of witches, which I am a part of, and castle workers. The castle workers get SO MUCH more lines/singing parts then the witches, even if we’re equal in importance. ;A; I feel so selfish for mentioning this, but I made the decision to sacrifice a LOT of my time to improve in drama, and with this part it feels like I’m not moving at all.

Also, there was a special second callback for the lead female character between these two girls. For the one who didn’t get the lead, Justin put in a new lead character. But because of the new character, the witches’ only song was replaced with a complete solo for her.

The last thing I was bitter about was not being able to be in the song I really looked forward to, because only castle workers are in it. ;A; I guess I just have to suck it up.

Sigh, and here comes another vexing week of school. And, oh joy! I’m getting the math test I probably bombed during 1st period, followed by an oral test in 2nd.

I plan on writing a post bursting at the seams with fangirl-ness to even out this post, but I don’t know if I can do it. =A= There’s a LOT to write about, but… I’m not really sure actually. D: I just feel PMS-ish even if I haven’t menstruated in over 3 months. This isn’t natural. >A<

1.　655,344　AKB48
2　 35,385　Tegomass
3　 21,069　Kobukuro

I’m… surprised.

I didn’t expect them to beat out AKB48, but Kobukuro? Good job, boys♥
