The appearance of the Shiba family in the manga.

Remember the previous post about the two Sangokuden designs?

Looks like it most likely official.

I’m lazy, so I’m going to paste the info from Perfume City :

Their official website announced publicly today (25/9) that Perfume will be releasing a second Photobook:

｢Perfume Livefolio｣

価格 3,000円（税込）
ISBN 978-4-334-90161-5

December 17th, huh. Nice Xmas present for me, anyone? =DDD *flees*

From the title, you can predict that photos from Perfume’s current and past live performances will be featured. The girls have been known to express that one of their favorite times of the year is when they’re on stage in front of their fans. This allows them to be their selves and really let loose.

You can pre-order the book only on ASMART for now.

From this list, it looks like you can order the large concert shirts as well! They even have their shirts kids sized! Perfect for budding lolis and shotas to become the next Perfume. Okay, maybe not the shotas.

Parallel Hearts by FictionJunction : OP for Pandora Hearts

I have never touched on the anime, but after hearing Parallel Hearts and MAZE up ‘live’ at Animelo 2009 this year with Fictionjunction and Savage Genius feat. Tomoe Ohmi respectively, there might be a slightest chance I’ll catch the anime when I have the chance.

Microsoft(tm) is really not holding back when coming to advertising for their Window’s products. They have her voicing the role of Nanami Madobe (窓辺ななみ) to help lure the Ota crowd in Japan to buy Windows 7 Ultimate. It includes an original wallpaper and three event sound sets.

I wonder how many Fans will bite…

I could only test out the characters with my copy of the game last weekend, trying to unlock all the characters. I like Kara no Kyoukai’s Ryogi Shiki the best, so obviously she’ll be my favourite character in the game (previously, I always change to Arcuied/Len as my main character(s) ). As she’s new, I need to learn out suitable combos to met out against my foes, and youtube enabled me to search for one video that’s pretty useful. Before that I was using Half-Moon Style, but after watching this video, I might convert to the Cresent Moon Style instead..

…well, not really mass, but 3 handpicked ones from their Facebook accounts.

First up, is their maid cafe!

Exclusive wallpapers for their Facebook account fans, but you have to join their Facebook page to get their wallpaper exclusives!

I don’t have a particular preference, since I think all of them look great. =D

I’m home. And aching all over. My arms from swinging lightsticks, my feet from walking non-stop, my back from sleeping on the return flight.

I went to Japan again to enjoy the Silver Week (prrrrrrrrromotions!) and came back after four days with the fatigue of a 10-day journey. This post will highlight the interesting bits of this trip.

After the jump!
