The Bonkurasu Brigade

This post contains minor spoilers from the Zettai Karen Children manga, volume 14. Nothing very shocking here, so do read on for the love of the God of the New World, Shiho-chan (:3)

After the success of its anime adaptation, getting a PS2 port and a live-action movie, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni will now get a Mahjong game.

Titled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Suzume (ひぐらしの哭く頃に 雀), there appears to be nothing striking about it until you see the promotional picture

Our second anniversary! Its here!

And it had to fall on one of the busier days of the Lunar New Year. Meh.

We’ll be celebrating this occasion, all right, and in the form of more randomness, like how this blog usually is (Though we look like a Perfume blog now, and I don’t deny it. WE ARE A PERFUME BLOG! *bonked 8D*). Ah, and as I’ve tried to say (but failed because of my ever digressing writing), we’ll be celebrating on a later date, on a day which wont be punctuated by endless visits to relatives who try to enquire about every single nook of your lifestyle like psuedo-paparazzi.

I hate reunion dinners.

In any case, this marks TWO years since the day our conquest (Of? Of nothing at all, or probably, probably the internets! Or not…?) began, January 27th. May this day be engraved in our hearts as a solemn acknowledgement of the vile effects sugar has on our sanity, and also in celebration of bad humour, boke and tsukkomi.

Na-nandeyanen-! Hooooooo-

..Ha, this post has veered horrible off-course. Happy anniversary, you bonklers!

A merry Kud christmas to all

The previous two nights were spent watching late night Christmas SPs on TV till early in the morning (Capsule and Perfume were on the same programme, which made me very happy :3), hence I shall lump the updates meant to be posted over Christmas into this one post.

On to Day 4!

I’m loving the bentos here. They still taste good cold, and this particular one was pretty cheap (Less than 500yen).

After breakfast, we took the Tsukuba Express to the second land of financial abyss: Akihabara.

Spent the day at Washinomiya today. Got lost looking for the train station on the way back.

Legs! Dying!

I’ll probably make this post as quick as possible. Need to rest in order to prepare for tomorrow, too.

Starting from the very beginning again, we had breakfast at another random eatery. I ordered a rather large set consisting of a bowl of udon and another bowl of rice topped with grated yam.

Spending the entire day at Ikebukuro has left me completely beat. Hours of trawling through Otome Road and flipping through shelves and piles of doujinshi, cds, and other goods has left my arms quite sore.

We’ll start from the beginning. Woke up at 5am today and went to the nearby vending machine to get coffee. When Zelfi and Jinya woke up, we headed to Asakusa for breakfast.

The shop was slightly larger than the udon place we went to for dinner the previous night, and operated based on a vending machine, the ones which dispenses coupons with the name of the dish.

It would seem like an unlikely combination, but natto tastes wonderful with soba.

After breakfast, we headed to the train station. Took the Tsukuba Express to Akihabara, but this is not where we planned to spend the day doing m4d sp3nding. It was to transfer to the JR line, to Ikebukuro.

Me, Zelfi of NKDS and Jinyamoto are in Japan on a 12-day trip right now. Thanks to everyone who came to send us off yesterday, despite it being 4am in the morning.

No, they didn’t literally explode (Though they have had a m4d surge in user signups and is thus now an invite-only service, so go blackmail pester your pixiv-addict friends for an account. Each existing user only has three invite opportunities.)

Ah, but the point of this post is not to talk about their increasing popularity. Pixiv will now tell you the sekrets of life! No rly.

Just about recently, a number of marriage certificates has appeared on Pixiv (An account is required to view images on pixiv). Some of them are win, others are downright hilarious. Here’s a couple I saved so far, after the jump.
