04.02.10
Today is Tomatsu Haruka’s 20th birthday! At least it is in Japanese time anyway…Which obviously means it’s a good day since she now becomes of legal age and I don’t have to feel so bad ogling her pictures anymore!
The other significance to this date? I’m moving blogs. Naturally most people would think I’m mad to give up on all that Google juice or ego-tripping linkage stuff but I’m not really bothered by that kind of thing to be honest.
I thought I’d throw in a few statistics before I wave adios to atemonai.com. Since I started recording stats in August 2008 I’ve racked up over 522,000 unique visits. Anime Nano has been my biggest referrer followed by hashihime and kurogane (thanks guys, haha). The most searched for keyword is ‘j1m0ne’, then ‘atemonai’, then ’seiyuu blog’ and then… ‘j1mone’ (sic). I guess people really love me *ego burst*. Twice as many Americans visited the site as Japanese people did, then Canadians and Singaporeans. My fellow countrymen only come in fifth. The most read posts are:
1. Spring 2009 Anime Season Guide
2. Autumn 2008 Anime Season Guide
3. Ultimate 60th Kohaku Guide
4. Ito Shizuka is the Ultimate Yuri Pimp
5. 60th Kohaku Review
6. A Visual Study of Seiyuu Boobsize
7. 2ch Reactions to Chihara Minori Coming to Malaysia
8. Seiyuu Guide for Autumn 2008 Anime Season
9. A List of Married Seiyuu
10. Fixing Fat Faces and Ugly Hair
My Kohaku posts, hahahaha. I only wrote them a month ago… the 100 Seiyu List series is actually doing very well at the time of writing with all accumulating over a 1000 unique pageviews each but naturally, the anime posts all win. Rams home the fact that anime is still big business and seiyuu is small fry in comparison.
Anyway, no time for nostalgia. Apologies for the inconvenience caused, I’d be most grateful if people would update their feed reader subscriptions and links to reflect the move. I will be keeping this blog open since there’s a lot of good stuff in the archives worth looking back upon and laughing at.
edit: I HAVE DISABLED ALL COMMENTS ON ALL POSTS, YOU SPAMMERS PISS ME OFF.
Lol. Shizuka being the ultimate yuri pimp is top seiyuu post!
I’m surprised the boob post isn’t higher.
… And happy birthday to Tomatsu. Forgot we’re in the same year. o:!
totally not obvious that this post is to announce a blog move :V
if you care about traffic you might want to make that clear lol
@omo
Not really no. I’m aiming for a more hermit-like existence
woot! maybe I should invite her to do the paya-paya to celebrate!
I’m going to miss visiting this blog for if or when ever it is you suddenly forget to keep it updated. It really was/is one of the best blogs available in english for seiyuu news (amongst other random things), and I hope the new blog is going to be more so.
Now where’s that Ueda Kana profile you promised us last year???Keep up the awsome work!(u¬_¬)A little sad to hear that you’re moving blogs. Even sadder since I discovered this blog so late. Thanks for all the seiyuu info u have been providing. Ur posts were always fun to read.
I wonder why the Ito Shizuka profile post is in the most read post top 5… huhuhu (everybody know the reasons o/c).
I can’t remember with whose seiyuu I found this blog (and read since then). Obviously I’ll read the new blog
BTW, now I can recognize Tomatsu Haruka’s voice
