Cool ni Ikoze!

So I'll be on another hiatus. Once again going to visit my grandmother in New Mexico. Then I'll be resuming my blogging duties ... FROM JAPAN! I'll be volunteering as well as sightseeing. Maybe see a concert or two? hmmmm? *laughs* but I am really excited to be helping out.

A lot of people and blogs have been talking about the concept of "gamman" which means to endure. I don't really subscribe to the fact that Japan is "enduring" they are surviving and moving on. I hope that with my eyes I can see and feel the strength of the of people of Japan. As always,

立ち上がれ!日本!
(tachi agare! Nippon!)
RISE UP! JAPAN!

Keep It Keep It! SHOW GUNS UP!

こんにちは!konnichiwa! How are you? Me? I'm genki!

A few updates on some stuff. Part one will be access and part two will be SBR

Share The Love postcards

As per last year, the pre-order singles will include postcards. Unlike last year however, the single will include different pictures. Pre-ordering A will get you A post card while B will get you B postcard. No word on what's on the postcards yet. Also each store will offer a different postcard! So HMV, TOWER, Tsutaya, Shinseido, and Yamano records will offer the store cards. CDJapan will get the non-special ones (but you still get pre-order postcards)
To sum it up...
FOR YOU HARD CORE COLLECTORS... THERE WILL BE 12 DIFFERENT POSTCARDS.
Enjoy spending your money! I know I will!

Sengoku BASARA 3 UTAGE

Capcom has officially confirmed that SBR3U is ... official. The web page has gone up you can see it at http://www.capcom.co.jp/basara3utage/
The game will include a new battle system as well as what appears to be mini-games. Also claims there will be a co-op version that might be online but at the very least will be able to link up to SBR3.
To sum it up...
NEW SENGOKU BASARA GAME! DOES STUFF THE OTHER ONE DOESN'T DO!
Enjoy spending your time leveling up Kojuuro! I know I will!

Well that should be all for now. I should go check Gundam and Vocaloid fandoms! FOR NOW... DINNER!

じゃ、まったね〜
SEE YOU NEXT ROUND!

Share The Love!

Hello there everyone. How are you this morning? Some exciting news from AX and from access!

I was able to meet Kojuro's voice actor last night. Toshiyuki Morikawa. He was very friendly despite how nervous I was. He even let us (my new friends and I) take a photo with him. I was so shocked. I was nearly in tears! Thank you Morikawa and my new friends!

Secondly, access has hinted that they will have a new single and dropped a few clues. (Sorry I wasn't able to post about it) Finally after teasing us they have let us know the full song list. I PRESENT TO YOU!!!!

Share The Love

There will be two versions of the single. The first one:
A version - DWDH-004
1. Share The Love
2. Keep It
3. Ride Up For The Shiny Way

For those of you who are keeping track, Keep It was introduced at last year's tour. The third song is described as being "an access trance song" This will be very interesting to hear!

B version. DWDH-005
1. Share The Love
2. Keep It (2010 Version)
3. Higher Than Dark Sky (Piano Version)

On this version "Keep It" is directly from last year's tour. Probably taken from the Ustream viewing. The title song for last year's single "Higher Than Dark Sky" makes an appearance as a Piano version. Claimed that it the first take from a new studio. Sounds to be very moving! I hope you all will fall in love with them all over again!

As per usual, all CD's are available on CDJapan and HMV.

That's all for today, I hope to have a photo update later.

SEE YOU NEXT ROUND!

Put your guns on!

Hello, there bloggers! It's Lala! お久しぶりです! It's been a while!

Today I am posting from Anime Expo. (We have a slow day today) I know I haven't posted in a while. For many of us, trying to help heal the scar of this March is still a tough task. Because of the events that have occurred, I am have decided to once again rededicate myself to this blog. I want to still help you all learn Japanese but I would also like to talk more about Japan and about my fandoms. So for now, this is what you can expect out of this blog:

Non-Fandom
Japan info
Travel Japan info
Japanese learning info.

Fandom
access (DA/Hiro solo)
Vocaloid
Sengoku Basara
Video Games

If I have more fandoms I might add them but for now, please enjoy. I will try to keep you up to date on news and stuff. Thanks for the views!
