Hey there, minna-san, how are you all? Good? I hope so...

I want to make a funny AMV for Angelique using an old childhood fave song of mine (seriously, it cracks me up thinking of the shugosei singing this particular song) and found this clip on youtube of it. Who here remembers this song?


It's just so nostalgic! I remember back when I was in school and this was on TV, my classmates and I would sing this song on really long bus trips, which of course drove the teachers nuts and made them desire the boys sing the "dirty rhyme" song.

That's it for now. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, how are you all? Good? I hope so...

Today's entry is about relationships in Sukisho.

Those of you who are fans of this BL series would know the main pairings are:

Sora x Sunao
Yoru x Ran
Shinichirou x Nanami
Nagase x Gaku

But there are more!

Soushi x Matsuri: Surprisingly enough, this pairing is canon! During White Flower, they spent a lot of time with each other, and managed to form a pretty good relationship. At the end of the story, there's more really direct hinting for the two of them, particularly when the whole group is attending a picnic. This would be somewhat good news for Shinichirou: it means Soushi will finally quit flirting with Nanami!

Gaku x Shiina: It would appear that Nagase isn't the only person Gaku's heart was pining for, and our blonde chibi Shiina revealed in White Flower that he had feelings for Gaku as well. During the picnic scene, both Shiina and Nagase keep trying to get Gaku's attention (Nagase actually sounds like a child trying to get their parents' attention with how insistent his tone becomes XDD).

Nanami x Chris (one-sided): I am indeed talking about Chris from the onsen episode. He has feelings for Nanami, and does become upset when he hears from others that Nanami is advancing in his relationship with Shinichirou. However, he tries not to show that to others, and still hopes Nana-chan will be happy with Shinichirou.

Nagase x Kirito (one-sided): The famous model Nakahara Kirito has feelings for Nagase too! Because of that, he worked with Aizawa in order to get closer to him. In the end, he becomes a friend to the others, and during the picnic scene is trying to quell Nagase during the let's-get-Gaku's-attention moment.

Kitamura x Sei: These two are official! Thank goodness, I always thought they'd be cute together~! It becomes clearer in White Truth. Again, during the picnic scene, they're very, very close to each other.

That'd be about it now. I won't explain the Sora x Hiromu (one-sided) pairing as that was clear in the anime.

That's it for now, minna-san. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, how are you all? Good? I hope so...

Last night, I made an AMV again. This one is for  [info]vraieesprit  and [info]appaku. Here it is! And I hope you enjoy it!



 I'm almost done with getting what I need for my Akabane cosplay. I got the shirt and pants a few days ago, and today managed to find the coat and tie. Now to find the hat, gloves and shoes, the easier items...and I'll figure out what to do for my hair too.

Well, that's it for now. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, how are you? Good? I hope so...

A while back I mentioned in an entry that I thought Konohana Hikari from Strawberry Panic looked very similar to Nanami Kai from Sukisho. Well, I'm now going to let you judge that for yourself.



It's especially their facial features that struck me, though in some scenes, Hikari's hair is also quite similar to Nana-chan's. So, what do you think?

That's it for now, minna-san. Ja ne!

Here's a meme I took from [info]shiroi_ume 

IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!
Here are your questions )

And that's it for now. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, I'm back!

I just finished watching a TMNT panel on youtube (John Campbell, Wayne Grayson, Mike Sinterniklaas, ED PAUL!!!, and Mike Pollock) and one of the questions was "what other roles have you played?" Ed mentioned Tracey, Bakura, Yami Bakura and Bandit Keith among his roles (and said in a dry tone that Tracey was "the most popular character in the series" which resulted in everyone else laughing...even he is fully aware of how little love Tracey gets in the fandom!), and I remembered back when I started writing crossovers.

A few years ago, I wrote numerous crossovers in which Tracey and Bakura met and became best friends, Bakura even stayed at the lab as Oak's newest assistant, and he also had a Marill (Tracey's Marill's sister). Then they went on a journey together and wound up meeting other characters from other fandoms (Crush Gear Turbo's Kuroudo and Kyousuke, and Beyblade's Ray) who also had Pokemon and joined them.

Over the years, I have done different crossovers for different reasons. Some are just plot bunnies that must be written or I won't be left alone, like my fic Nightmares (posted on mediaminer) in which Kira from Gundam SEED has a nightmare concerning his fight with Athrun, and so Goku (Saiyuki) and Eisen (Haruka) try to console him, but in the end, he needs Athrun's help. Others came about due to similarities in characters and I wanted them to meet like a Slayers and Saiyuki fic I wrote because I want Hakkai and Xellos to meet each other.

Then there were the ones for the meme, all of those short ones that folks requested I write. I couldn't stop writing for that, even if folks had ceased requesting.

 You know that the Haruka/Angelique crossovers came about from live drama performances at the earlier Neoroma Festas. And tell me, who here is a fan of Saiyuki and/or Weiss Kreuz and tried to find a crossover fic, only to succeed in finding a few? *raises hand* And I have to say one had a very interesting pairing (Youji x Hakkai). Hey, I've even done my own, I'll share my short ones later.

And there have been cases of writing crossovers due to seiyuu...I started writing a CGT/Gundam SEED/Fushigi Yuugi fic last year in which Cagalli and Kuroudo were cousins (they share seiyuu) and I had to have Nuriko as Lan Fang's long-lost cousin, having him interact with Kyousuke (same seiyuu) would be hilarious. I've done a Haruka/Fruits Basket crossover in which Kyo and Tenma trade places physically due to a magic mirror Shirin uses which brings confusion to both groups involved. And the Tracey and Bakura fics first came to be because they're voiced by the same person. I planned a Greenwood/Fushigi Yuugi crossover in which Nuriko is a new transfer student and he and Shun quickly become very close friends (even fall in love...I had to write it!!), again, it's due to them sharing a seiyuu.

Now, my entry subject is what it is, because I have a question for those of you who have written at least one crossover in their life: What fandoms and what inspired it/them to be written?

That's it for now, I'm looking forward to seeing what inspires you to write crossovers. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, how are you all? Good? I hope so...

I'm feeling better emotionally (for now, Aunt Flow is visiting). Still sick though, but managed to get at least an hour of sleep before nausea hit again.

Remember the other day I mentioned about Morning Musume? How Goku and Gojyo were singing an excerpt from one of their songs? Well, that got me to look up vids of the Minihamuzu (Mini Moni turned into Hamsters for Hamaro movies 1-3), hoping to find clips from the Hamtaro movies. I did better than that, I found a site where I can download lots of Japanese Hamtaro.

I'm very glad about that, I have been dying to hear it for ages! I have character songs, but I wanted to hear them talk. I downloaded movie 2 first and heard four awesome seiyuu I'm familiar with thanks to Neoromance: Itou Kentarou, Miyata Kouki, Asakawa Yuu and Sakurai Takahiro. I'm not really familiar with most of the seiyuu for the Ham-Hams...well, except Sakuma Rei (Sakura/Daisy in Pokemon and Shampoo in Ranma 1/2) and Aikawa Rikako (numerous Pokemon including Lapras).

Itou Kentarou voiced Taisho-kun/Boss. His voice was rather rough and a bit high for that role, I'm used to his smooth, deep voice for Tsuchiura and Maki, so it did surprise me. Singing voice is also rough.

Miyata Kouki voiced Torahamu-kun/Stan. The voice he used...I call it his Shimon voice, it wasn't as high as Sei's, but still very adorable. Singing voice surprised me. In the song Kuru Kuru (the Torahamu kyoudai duet) his voice gets deep. Not Benkei-deep, it's kind of hard to describe...it's still in the high range, but is also deep...that doesn't even make sense to me, but it's the only way I can describe it... In group songs with the rest of the seiyuu, the voice is high, but not the sweet voice he uses to sing for Shimon...it's more of a cute voice.

Sakurai Takahiro voiced Ham-ha Ouji in the second movie, he didn't have very many lines unfortunately. But, get ready for this. When he was transformed into a monster sheep called Meme, his voice was deeper. He even sang in that deep voice. For all of you KKM fans out there, imagine Morgif with a larger vocabulary, and that's the voice he had for Meme. He had his usual voice for young men, best character comparison I can use is Kazuki from Gakuen Heaven, when voicing Ham-ha Ouji.

Finally, Asakawa Yuu voiced Tongari-kun/Jingle. She used a very cute voice, not high, but not deep either. There was also a character song for Tongari-kun, and her voice was just lovely singing it.

Sakuma Rei voiced Mafuru-chan/Pashmina. Her voice got even higher for the role, and Shampoo has a high voice!

Aikawa Rikako voiced Koushi-kun/Oxnard. Now, that voice surprised me. All those times I heard a deep, female voice singing in those group songs, I never even thought that was her!

That's it for now. Just wanted to share this. Ja ne!

Hey there, minna-san, how are you? Good? I hope so...

I went to the site Reach Out, hoping they still had the audio from when they visited our school. Ang was in a couple of them. Sadly, the whole website has changed, the audio is gone.

 But, I got to reading some of the factsheets that had about issues people have to deal with in life and how to cope or help someone cope. I saw the bullying sheets, and well...I had to write this. I also plan to show it to my psychologist when I see him next.

I can't go to school...I'm scared... )

Another thing bugging me is a bug I have. My cold is worse now, and I feel it is actually becoming the flu. I can't sleep because I feel nauseous whenever I close my eyes. Yeah, not pleasant...

Anyway, that's my entry. Ja ne!
