Actually, I don't think song was that great at first but it kind of grew on me again. It's Jin I guess, what do you expect. Although this song hasn't let me win a mahjong game once yet. Probably not the best song to play for mahjong. I think IA isn't a good choice for music when I play mahjong. :|



Title seems to say "Children Record"... okay... :V 

Pathogenic Treatment

http://www.nature.com/news/can-bacteria-fight-brain-cancer-1.11080

This is a pretty scary concept... purposely try to boost the immune system response with an infection to fight off cancer? That's dealing with the immune system, bacteria, and cancer at the same time... this is a really scary concept. :|

The people being treated have to have a REALLY healthy body other than cancer for this to work!

Its a deco27 (and sasakure.uk) Miku song on my birthday! Happy Birthday! A song like this must be great right?!?! Well, honestly its not the best, but still not too bad. Something not too bad to listen to in loop for a while.

In other news, its my birthday but not much exciting stuff happened. I was supposed to have a birthday dinner but it got cancelled, so instead I watched smile precure... for a rather gloomy birthday Smile Precure put a smile on my face... ;_;

Beauty goes "こっち こっち!" Waaah she's so cute! :V

Exploding Termites

Just going around, looking at random articles lazily when suddenly I see:

how can I not read this.

走れ



Lots of good GUMI songs lately, GUMI seems pretty popular these couple days! Must be because her birthday recently passed. I really like how this song has a steady melodic "up and down" pattern in both the stanzas and choruses. It starts off pretty straightforward, then goes a bit up and down, sort of like strolling around hilly areas.

Speaking of strolling, I'm pretty sure the title to this song means something like "Walking".
...google says "Hashire". ...What?

Concerts


I went to two concerts while I was in Hong Kong (I think I briefly mentioned this before on my blog). I never did anything for the KOTOKO concert and now I mostly don't have too much to say about it anymore, except that she did some of her older songs, some of her not-so-old songs, and some of her recent releases. Overall, I liked it and I think in general, concertwise, the KOTOKO concert was better.


Shoko-tan concert had, interestingly enough, a much more enthused atmosphere. Perhaps because it was advertised more or she's more popular in Hong Kong, I'm not sure. But whereas the KOTOKO concert there was no benefit for coming early, I really should have came earlier for the Shoko-tan concert because there was actually quite a few cosplayers and people who dressed up. For the cosplay there was Mikus, Saint Seiya people who i don't know (I think Saint Seiya is very popular in China... :V) and a pair of Smile Precure cosplayers! As usually my incredible shyness prevented me from getting  a picture of them, but its okay.

Shoko-tan concert was... hmm... how to say it, I wasn't quite as enthused I feel as the other concerts. Maybe its because I don't know a lot of her songs in general. But she did sing quite a few anime songs, songs which are a bit older. The anime songs she sang were:

Gurren Laggan Intro (obviously)
Some series I didn't watch
Saint Saiya intro (only know this because she said she'd sing it, well, also the chorus has "SAINT SAIYA" in it)
Don't Be Lazy (I guess a lot of HK people watched K-On)
the Ranka Kira song I keep forgetting the title to (which btw not a lot of people seemed to know, not even much reaction to "kira"... I guess Macross F wasn't big in HK)
Aquarion intro (people who haven't watched the anime even know this song... I'm guessing most of the HK fans did watch it though...I think)
God Knows... (Man, to think Haruhi is considered old now...)
Sailor Moon (remake coming in 2013, derp :V)
Chinese Gurren Laggan Intro (...wow really?)


She also sang a bunch of her own songs which I didn't know of. One of the songs was some cat song, and then the dancers came out with a bunch of freaky cat mask things... it was uh, not too cool imo, but oh well.

In particular one of the things that seemed bothersome about the concert (besides loud nice, but that's in every concert) is the lights. The lights often flashed really brightly, to the audience, and also at a really high frequency so it actually became rather bothersome. It seems likely it could be seizure inducing! Well, aside from that, it was an interesting experience and I don't regret going to the concert. It could be better, but it was fun all the same.

And now I should get back to work. :V Actually I have something to write up somewhat related to my work but I shall write that another day when I feel like procrastinating again.

卯月の嘘

I really like the pacing of this song. Sometimes it goes at normal speeds, sometimes it goes at slow, steady, emphasize beats, and sometimes its just fast (at the chorus). Really fun song to listen to. And play mahjong to. But maybe the latter is just because I seem to win when listening to this song. :V GUMI songs are the way to go for me with mahjong! :V The title seems to say... some moon's lie? Let's ask google! "Uzuki's Lie"? April's Lie? April fools?!?!? :V

Rewatching Saki

Spoilers but seriously who hasn't watched saki first season anymore.


HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T REALIZE WHEN I FIRST WATCHED BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT KAJIKI YUKI COULD HAVE MADE A COMEBACK WITH ANOTHER CHANKAN AGAINST SAKI... IF SHE WAS IN TENPAI WITH THE KOKUSHI MUSOU YUKI YOU ARE SO AWESOME

Additionally, skipping through the show, it seems like only one east was discarded (east and the 1p(obviously) were the two Yuki was missing) and none of the others had East in their hand, so her chances seem REALLY likely.

I feel like Momo now. :|
