Good luck!

あなたのVOYAKILOID

This song is about Haku and how her creator valued Miku over her and neglected her as a result. Oh my god I just love this song...

I'm still obsessed with 番凩...!!

I still can't get over [番凩][Tsugai Kogarashi]...

ver. 1


ver.2



It's like, the most awesome Vocaloid pairing ever. KAITO should do more songs with MEIKO. KAITOxMEIKO owns KAITOxMiku any day people. I like this song so much cos the lyrics are just so meaningful... Someone be my MEIKO...?


Here are the lyrics:
The red for MEIKO, blue for KAITO and white when they sing together

kawaita kogarashi soyo-soyo to
kawaita konoha wa hira-hira to
aima mieru hiwo machi nagara
toki wo kazoe aruku
tuzuru kotonoha ni irodorare
akaku iromeki setsuna ni odoru
kureha ichimai teno hira ni suberi
kataru wa...

yaketa kokyou ni wakare wo tsugete
konoha no teni hikare
hashiri saru
mada minu mirai eno fuan nado
kanjiru itoma nado arimo sezu

kawaita konoha wa hira-hira to
kawaita kogarashi soyo-soyo to
tsunaida teto tewo hasana zuni
toki wo kazoe kakeru
amaneku hito no inochi seoi
sono chiisaki tede nani wo tsumugu
hon no kasuka na hokorobi ni
shinuru kono sede

shinzuru michi wo tafa hitasura ni
ayumu omae no sasae to naran
kurenai no tsurugi wo tazusae te
konomi konoha to fukarete yukou

soyogu kaze to nari te
amata no iyashi to nari
ikitoshi ikeru kono seno mono eno
oikaze to naran

kurenai ouhon ni irodorare
yureru kigitachi yokogiri nagara
kareha tomoni michizure ni
kake nukeru konoha to
tsugai kogarashi

kosure saza meku konoha to tomo ni
kakeru ichi jin no kaze to tomoni
todomaru koto naku hita hashiru
kawaita uta to tsugai kogarashi

Touhou [Bad Apple!!] madness!!

The videos speak for themselves.

This 1st one is created with stylized laser art:



The 2nd one is using Minesweeper



This 3rd one is using Notepad/Memo



[Bad Apple!!] played on the violin with the video playing in sync



Here's the Vocaloids singing [Bad Apple!!]




Now for something a bit different - Touhou on Warcraft 3. It's a bit... Stupid.

A.C.M.E. II

Well, nothing much to post about cos it was a damn small event. There were a few small booths, a WS competition, KKNM and that Gundam shop from Sunshine.

The main attraction was the Touhou 12.5 competition. A lot of commotion whenever someone is battling. I left halfway cos it wasn't that nice. I went to Iluma and watched the BlazBlue competition instead. After a while, the commotion died down and Kenji and I went to play in the arcade.


I tried my hands at Jubeat and I failed terribly. Seems that I'm not meant for this kinda games.

Well, nothing left to say. So I leave you with pictures of my loot:


First thing I bought after waiting in the KKNM queue with my ojou-sama for like 1hr+. Ya all should know which omamori is mine :D



A lot of people didn't buy this cos they said the face was weird. Personally, I don't think it makes that much of a difference.




I then proceeded to buy this Touhou 2011 calendar. The characters featured in it are from EOSD. I hope there'll be a 2012 one :D I wanna see Youmu :D



I saw this in my ojou-sama's Bag of Loot. I went to the booth and asked if requests could be made. They said yes and so I requested one of Youmu. It's a wood carving by the way. They carve it in the shape of the apple with a picture of the character you want exactly as it appears in the video below:

Shiraishi Minoru aka Taniguchi

Some odd Haruhi related news today. These shorts of Minoru getting lost in a mountainous forest are apparently DVD bonus features released along with limited edition DVDs released in Japan in 2009. Now the full video has been edited and cut into an 80 minute DVD that will be released on September 24, 2010.


Minoru getting lost in the mountains may possibly even be a running gag of a similar scenario done to him in Lucky Star:

~Ritsu's Birthday~

りっちゃん！　誕生日おめでとうございます！

That meant:
Ricchan! Happy Birthday!

I know it's 2 days late but hey, you know what they always say: it's better to be late than never at all :D

しかし！ Due to cashflow problems, the cake isn't very much of a cake... T_T

ごめんあいさい、りっちゃん！　T A T


Now for pictures:


A celebration should be like this, no? A warm setting with bright lighting



Unlike those otaku celebrations. Those that have a damn dark room with a somewhat creepy feeling? I think I've managed to recreate it...



Close up on the celebration



Well, this is just a close up of the "creepy" celebrations

Natsumatsuri 2010

Natsumatsuri was fun :D only pity was that the yukata rentals ran out damn fast. It ran out within half and hour T_T

Now for pictures to describe the whole day :D


The gave us a random fan when we entered. My friend got this Pokemon one



LOOK AT THE CROWD. It was hell just to walk through that crowd. It's like a mini Comiket :D



I bought a bowl of curry rice and a salmon onigiri. I later also bought milk tea. Nicholas lost in jan-ken-pon so he had to go buy a croquette for me



The first performance of the day: Daiko



The second performance: a soccer showcase by Albirex Niigata


The third performance was a cheerleading performance, fourth and fifth was a dance performance.


After all that came the long awaited Bon Odori :D



















First song was a traditional Japanese folk song, then a fishing song, then one from Hokkaido, then Chan - I know. I lolwut when they announced it - Mali Chan, then a song about Singapore, last was Rasa - I lolwut at this too - Sayang.



I noticed this tied to one of the stage supports:
