Mion and Shion



My respect for Satsuki Yukino just went up considerably with this character CD. Self-duet for the win XD.

The Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Character CD’s are probably the most entertaining character CD set I’ve seen in a while. “USODAAAAA!!” Rena’s CD has Keiichi and Oishii duet rapping, which was the funniest thing ever since Kyon and Itsuki’s pathetic attempt at singing My First Goodbye in gangsta-rap style in the Haruhi Drama CD, and now Shmion’s CD has her self-dueting. And the songs are really not for the faint of heart who understand Japanese. Let’s just say disturbing things happen in the song in a very happy manner. And the drama track has poor Keiichi forced to crossplay as well, I think. I kinda stopped when that mental image formed so I can’t confirm.

Saber Figures

Could there be anybody out there who has not seen Fate? Well I suppose you dont really have to know anything about Fate to get this figure of Saber cos shes such a cutie! To tell you the truth, I didnt think much of this figure when her pre-release details came out months ago but decided to get her after seeing Monpuchi-sans review - you will notice that I steal some of his photo ideas ^^;
Her belly and legs are most appealing and well crafted. If you prefer your figures with large eyes however then this purchase may disappoint...

Saber comes with a Kakigori (a Japanese crushed ice desert) penguin and a mini saber but you can put other stuff in her hands too. Folks who wear glasses like me can have Saber hold up to two pairs of glasses ^o^ Here are some photos I took of her. Enjoy~



And finally, a group picture of my collection....

stay tuned for more of my collection.....

"Miyuki-san, GOOD JOB"



Kona-chan, GOOD JOB!

My heart skipped a beat when that happened from the moe overload.

Lucky Star is getting better and better and had me laughing from Tsukasa’s dojikko-ness, Kagami’s tsun-tsun-ness and Kona-chan’s otaku-ness (”Dakara… AI DA YO!”).

Also, the ED this time is Aaya-chan singing “Sore ga Ai deshou”, FMP? Fummofu’s OP theme.

japanese jig

The devotion some Japanese men show towards dodgy dolls is definitely well documented, but perhaps a little less well known is a similar dedication when it comes to dancing; however as an art form it’s a fair old distance from the foxtrot, with anime and outfits the guiding force.

Like this young man for example, who is somewhat alarmingly aping the routines and regalia from the anime Lucky Star. And perhaps even more disturbing, he’s really rather good too, albeit in excruciatingly bad fashion.

OH yeah!!! It's dancing time~!

recognition at last

While reading an article, I came upon an astonishing find. As believe it or not, I’ve had a curry named after me. A beef one at that.

I can’t tell you how proud it makes me feel to walk down the dried food aisle and see this awe inspiring sight. And just like me, LEE curry is hot and spic somewhat shoddily packaged, and despite its claims, rather bland.

meaty meal?

How exactly the dish below is prepared and what ingredients are included isn’t clear, which is perhaps just as well.

Not that it deterred many of the customers mind you, although for a few of them it was a toss up between the cocked rice and spotted dick.

multiplying maids

With maid cafes in Japan now mainstream and seemingly every conceivable variation on the theme exhausted – all the way from watering holes for women to cafe-cum-convents – the black and white clad beauties are now apparently branching out further; reflexology rather than a refined cup of tea very much the order of the day at this establishment.

Reassuringly though, the regalia remains the same.
