I’m a month late in discovering this, having only listened to it for the first time last night. Which is good actually, considering the fact that one month ago my ‘A’-Levels were just around the corner. had I started listening to this then, I doubt I’d be able to concentrate much on my studies.
Because this song, and the PV, is just so damn addictive. :3
This is BAD APPLE!!, arranged by Masayoshi Minoshima, from the CD EXSERENS, with vocals by nomico. The video features spectacularly rendered shadow art of many familiar Touhou characters. I find the rhythm very mellow and entrancing, and the lyrics seem to identify very meaningfully with NEETs. (Not that I am one though ^^;) I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this one, more so if you’re a Touhou fan (have fun identifying each character that appears in the video!).
Sorry for being an entire week late. Ever since my A levels (unofficially) ended on Tuesday, I have been busying myself with some of the many engagements I had previously planned, including the electric guitar restoration and the fitness conditioning.
(I ought to mention too that I had decided to drop some of my proposed ideas due to lack of time/ resources.)
I would have wanted to simply leave you with a bunch of photos in a gallery like AFA day one, but I felt obliged to make commentary on the event since this is a blog and not a Flickr account. Hence the added inertia when it came to composing this blog post. Keep reading →
It is 2 in the morning and I am dead tired right now, so I’ll just make this a quick image-intensive post. To summarize, the entire event in overall was a lot better organized this year as compared to the last, especially with the ticketing. Security for the I <3 Anisong event was stepped up a good few notches too, with a more systematic queue system for both pass holders and regular event goers (I didn’t attend the concert by the way; had Stormtrooper business to attend to). Had a lot of fun roving around taking pictures, checking out booths and watching stage performances. Keep reading →
I’m not usually the sort to be enticed by advertisements, even if they are interactive ones online. But this video which turned out to be an ad for Pringles sure caught my eye. Keep reading →
Today is one of the few days during this hectic ‘A’-level period (a period in which I have studied more than I have ever studied over my two-year course in Junior College) when I can kick back and relax a bit before the next paper many days later. I thought I’d just share a few funny exam answers I stumbled upon at Sankaku Complex recently. They made me laugh a bit, and gave me that much needed exam-stress relief.
I know this Internet meme has been going round for quite some time already and that I’m quite late to be blogging about it only now(busy doing IRL stuff), but I realized that it is really quite interesting and appealing, at least to my tastes (and not just because it’s partially Japanese, srsly guiz go faq yourselves) so I deemed it suitable enough to fill some space here.
Get Down! (ゲッダン) is an Internet meme which combines a crazy idea with crazy images and crazy music to produce an Internet meme that is infectious, funny and three times the awesome. Keep reading →
When comments do not seem to work, I fall back on trackbacks!
While I agree that Danny Choo has contributed to the global surge of the popularity of anime, I wouldn’t say that it was he who mainstreamed it. Rather, he only documented it, the industry has by itself assimilated into Hollywood culture. It’s like a paradigm shift, the conformation of a certain pattern because of its proximity to ideality, that drove otaku subculture to become the way it is now. Manga artists of today will find it hard to get by in Japan if they do not write within the mainstream genres. “It’s going to be especially difficult to make a living for the kind of authors who can’t pen ero/parody/bishonen/bishoujo manga (in fact it is right now).” -Tamiki Wakai, Shounen Sunday mangaka.
I suppose the Japanese are seeing how this scheme has benefited the Americans, and are copying them in hopes of achieving similar success. Just my two cents, may not be worth the two cents though.
By the way TP bro, I can’t make it for the dinner thing on Friday. Got something else to attend to. You guys enjoy yourselves there.
I’ve heard of frog legs, and I’ve eaten them before, but this… Is ridiculous.
Also, it seems that my stats have peaked ever since I posted that Modern Warfare 3 video. Hmm, now I think I know what kind of posts I should be making to generate more public interest…
Hot on the heels of what is predicted to be the biggest selling video game of all time, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Onion News Network reports that Activision is already in the final testing stages of their freshest product, Modern Warfare 3, which looks set to outdo the previous game in every way imaginable.

AK, also known as the Imperial Stormtrooper TK8315, is a loquacious, vocal character fond of expressing his thoughts through words and writing. Like most boys his age, he likes playing the guitar, cycling and playing computer games. During his spare time when he's not playing the guitar, cycling or playing computer games, he likes to read fiction, and when he's not reading fiction, he's writing fiction. AK is single and happy to stay that way.
