It’s a clip of ume singing Seikan Hikou on stage during an afreko demonstration at AFA09. 8D

There’s also a ‘fanclub’ of sorts on facebook over here! muahahaha.

Next up, is Justin Sevakis, founder of ANN.

And finally, our dear 部長 arrives to our shores. And makes a quick blog entry upon arrival. =P

Picture from the day before.

The guests are highly likely to arrive at about the same time as last year’s as well, and if my memory serves correctly, they will arrive about 2 days before the event; they need their rehearsals, no? Also, from last year’s experience, they arrived in the evening, at about 5pm. Do check out on flight arrivals from Changi Airport to get a rough gauge. XD

Last year, Aniki arrived first, followed up by May’n on the following day. Since we have more aristes coming, I’m sure the newer artistes will arrive later than last year’s. Sooooooo here’s the plan:

- They will arrive either via ANA or JAL
- Mostly evening flights (5.30PM to 6.30PM)
- flights throughout 4 days, from 19th to 21st
- Midnight flight is also highly possible (especially for k-on)

At least, that’s my hypothesis. JAL’s at Terminal 1, while ANA’s on Terminal 2. If you see barricades at either terminals being set up, it’s very likely that it’ll be for them (again, experience from last year). \

Happy fangirling/fanboying! XD

-edit-

Next up, are larger pictures of her album covers. =D

Styles [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]
Retail Price : 3200yen
Release Date: 2009/11/25

Styles [Regular Edition]
Retail Price : 2900yen
Release Date: 2009/11/25

Honestly, I love both cover pictures. Pity it wouldn’t release before AFA, or there might be a possibility that it’ll be sold there. @_@ Either way, I WILL GET MY COPYYYYYY *gasps* Do listen to it and tell me how the song goes =D

Aside from the spelling error, the short snippet shows how the last leg of Perfume’s ⊿ tour at Yokohama Arena went. Yes, it’s very much like the one I went at Sapporo, although the only difference was the size.

Here’s an excerpt from the latest post:

Their next live performance announced will be for the Act Against AIDS 2009 benefit concert at the Nippon Budokan on December 1st. This will be their 2nd time joining the AAA “The Variety” concert.

As for releases, their just finished 2009 Tour will be released on DVD will be out on January 13th, 2010! If it seems a bit too long of a wait, don’t fret for the 10/15 Yokohama Arena venue of the tour will be broadcasted on MUSIC ON! TV after X’mas (12/26 ).

I can’t wait for both the broadcast version and the actual DVD. Mmmm more Perfume goodness. That said, I’m still a sucker and pre-ordered my Perfume Livefolio at the local Kinokuniya a week back. D’oh.

The above picture is a collage of those from her blog over the week after her birthday 8D

Proposed picture of the CD Jacket

Looks like all May’n/Sheryl Nome fans will be broke this coming end November. ;_; I wonder how would her “Styles” album sound/look like; also, wondering how the “Welcome To My FanClub’s Night！-Styles ver.” would sound like as well. o_o~

Any May’n fan will be exhilarated upon receiving either of the CDs. XD WHERE IS MY MAY’N PHOTOBOOKKKK even Minorin has one. ;_;

With Persona 3 Portable (henceforth known as P3P) release 3-4 days back, here’s a blog entry with hilarious translation of the game’s promotional video.

Click on the picture for the site link!

The pictures aren’t from their cosplays for the competition, but previous cosplays. To view their in-progress, please visit their figure.fm entries over here and here.

Congratulations to the winning teams! All the best at the finals! =DD

ALSO, pre-registration for cosplayers is up as well! You can access it over here. Here’s your chance to get a complimentary entrance ticket to AFA09 if you cosplay on that day!

Master Grade Blue Frame 2L

The original was good, but of course, any Master Grade treatment for any 1/100 NG kit is always much, much better. Not to mention, I like the Astray series (except for the current one) better than all the anime designs.

——————

HGUC NZ-666 Kshatriya

This hefty MS is about the size of an MG Sinanju, with its binders raised. Very big for a 1/144 kit, not to mention the design shouts of ‘FIERCEEEE’. lol okay I now sound like an ‘ah beng’.

——————

HGUC Unicorn (both modes)

The painted Master Grade that I’ve slogged for had ZERO playability (at least, for me), so this HGUC version gave me much fulfillment. :D

——————

Kotobukiya Non-Scale Granzon

Lastly, the kit I’ve been waiting 10 years for, ever since I’ve played Super Robot Wars, I’ve dreamed that a Granzon kit will be released. And it did. WOOOHOO NO AMOUNT OF LOUSY FITTING WILL STOP ME FROM GETTING THIS KIT. *_*

==========
Any kit caught you guys’ eyes lately?

Today marks May’n, aka 部長, 20th birthday! Beer お代り!

Wonder what delicacies May’n will eat when she comes over to Singapore for AFA09!

And May’n blogged a long post about her reflections upon attaining adulthood
