The Bonkurasu Brigade

Well, May’n didn’t duet with Makkun 輪舞-revolution, but I’m comparing the 3 biggest things in Anison that duet with Makkun and her songs, and Miracle Upper WL is a great song. I like all three ladies as anison singers, but I’m a fan of only two out of the three. =P

Let’s begin with Nana’s duet first:

As I found out that I can dig out more of my savings to fuel my ‘otaku’ needs, I opened a link that leads to Perfume’s concert merchandise.

And that’s the end of my savings. ;_;

And to think that I could use that money to get Minorin merchandise… Looks like I’ll have to scrap the thought of buying that Blu-Ray ;_;

After that eventful post of the 2 ladies in the earlier blog post, we come to the next segment: their ‘LIVE’ goods. Even though I’m not heading to either of their LIVE events, I have my connections to get concert items from those Lives. 8D

One is a May’n fan from Japan (he came over to watch May’n at AFA08), the other’s another blogger going to Animelo as well.

(I went to the Daicon one instead for Minorin because it’s nearer, and I’m able to watch May’n perform LIVE at Animelo later next month anyway)

*ahem* In any case, the goods in the pictures below:

MAY’N SUMMER TOUR “LOVE & JOY” 2009

I’m planning to get only the white shirt. I’m really tight on budget in this upcoming trip to Japan. *dies*

….actually, it’s more of just Minorin’s and May’n’s blog updates.

Doing up one of Minorin’s more recent blog translation posts here:

今年に入り、マネージャーさんが一人増えました
This year, I have one more manager
名前は“まりりん”
She’s called ‘Maririn’
今までは瀬野さん一人が飛び回る日々だったので、まりりんが来てくれたおかげで色々助けられています
Up till now, I have been only traveling with Seno-san, and I’m thankful for Maririn’s help in various aspects
まりりんは元気で、笑顔の似合うとっても可愛い女の子です
ちなみに大のボーダー好き
着ている洋服はいつもボーダーです！
Maririn’s a cheerful lady, with smiles that suit her cuteness
She likes her clothes with large stripes (TL note(EDIT): that’s what I think she’s referring to)
She’s always wearing striped one piece dresses!
だから今日は着なくなったボーダーのお洋服をプレゼントしました
非常に喜んでくれたので、大満足です
Therefore the present I have for her was a striped one piece dress
Seeing her beaming smile is a sense of achievement for me
これからもよろしくね、まりりん
Best regards, Maririn!

I have a friend who said this about Maririn after reading this article:
is it a pun or what
her name is maririn
and she likes striped onepiece -_-
cause striped dresses are considered marine style in japan
which is marin in katakana -_-

..so, cheeky Minorin? XD

And… here’s a May’n picture that I shouldn’t comment any further.

Well, all the best to May’n for her upcoming Live Tour, and Minorin for her upcoming “Summer Camp” LIVE!

I’m quite tired out now, so I’ll just keep it short. Not going to write a whole essay or many posts regarding Daicon. For more reviews and coverage, here’s a mirror to NK-DS, of which I’m currently on the trip with. They have the Q&A panel, some thoughts about the concert (of which I’ll write about at a later date), and basically covered the event in its entirety.

Nice censor is nice. 笑

Here’s the gist of the things that were floating about in my mind, and also what I did in Daicon:

And in a few moments (a few hours, rather), I’ll be heading to KLCC for DaiCon! I’ll be joining Bjorn and Julius from NK-DS to ‘cover’ the event, so to speak.

For me, I’m there for:
1) MINORIN!!!!
2) my malaysian cosplayer friends whom I’ve not seen for about a year O_O
3) disturbing the 3 female-clones-of-bloggers. (bonkurasuだから）

行ってきます！！

Work’s been quite busy for me. Here’s a quick update:

- Lia’s getting married. Wow. At her age, she should. Congratulations to her and her hubby, along with the kid in tow. =D

- Several people I know around the blogosphere are either planning to go or going to either Nana’s, Yoko Kanno’s, or both concerts. INSANE AMOUNT OF MOOLAS EXPECTED TO SPILL.

- I call dibs on blog + bonkurasu. Type out www.bonkurasu.com and it’ll redirect back here. =D (You girls know who you are.)

- Here’s some updates with regards to Daicon; I’m too lazy to eleborate on the entire thing, but it’s about the lighstick call routine for Minorin.

- *UPDATE* Picture of MG Exia Below:

KKnM is currently selling tickets for Minorin’s Daicon LIVE concert. More details directly from Daicon’s site.

“Tickets available at KKNM!

Chihara Minori Live @ DaiCon’s ELITE Ticket is now available in Singapore via our partner Kareshi Kanojyo no Mise! Head over to KKnM’s shop to purchase the ticket directly and hassle free!”

..and this time in the form of the July issues of Pick-up Voice and Seigura. Fortunately, I’ve sold my June copies to townberry.

*DROOL*

*EDIT*There’s an ultra large poster of Mizuki Nana and Suzumura Kenichi, and postcards of Haruka Tomatsu and Dekko and 2 other names I cannot recall for Seigura, and nothing special for Voice Newtype; though I hope that there will be some pull-out poster of Minorin XD~

Looks like it’s time to pre-order from the friendly local Kinokuniya again. x_x

Single out on 3rd of June

This is yet another post of me contemplating if I should get Minorin’s CD single that’s about to release next week. It’s not like I know it only recently, more like I’m just lazy at posting it up as usual. Gunpla and work takes up most of my time nowadays.

With Minorin’s single releasing on June 3rd, I don’t have adequate funds to get it, since the DVD is within the same month as well on the 24th of June, AND I’m going to Daicon for Minorin as well.

And speaking about the DVD, wasn’t there supposed to be a Blu-Ray version? o_O?

Excuse me while I continue to ponder on it over a cup of water… I’ll probably need more than just -a- cup.
