This week’s offerings are pretty poor (bar a certain soundtrack album). In fact, I found watching two nights worth of screechy, scratchy American Idol performances much more entertaining than struggling through this mostly tuneless, mostly souless pile of cack. Woops, I just revealed that I actually watch American Idol - I swear it’s cos I’m bored.
I said I was gonna do something similar to the ‘Physically Attractive Male Seiyuus’ list for the girls, and I wanted to do it in time for Valentine’s Day but….. I got a bit lazy. Plus, I wasn’t sure if my opinion really counts for anything…..
But anyhow, I thought it’d be a bit of fun to break the mundaness of it being the night before my usual Monday morning blues, so I dusted off my yuri goggles and asked myself three questions when compiling the list:
1. If I was a guy, would I fancy this person?
2. Being a girl, would I want to be/look like this person?
3. Would I actually want to do the yuri with this person?
I’ve noticed though, that most of my choices fit more into the ‘classic beauty’ sort of look as opposed to the cutesy, fluffy sweet gravure idol types.
I don’t expect anybody to agree with my choices though. On to the list!
A Japanese MSN news post a few days ago bore the headline
後藤邑子ってだれ？謎のブログ人気急上昇 ガッキーら上回る勢い
“Who’s Goto Yuko? Mysterious blog suddenly gains popularity, overtakes Gakki (Aragaki Yui).”
19-year old seiyuu Hasegawa Shizuka, who voiced Kobayakawa Yutaka in Lucky Star and can currently be seen in the live-action version of Negima as Misora, made a sudden announcement on 16th February that her blog would go on hiatus immediately, deleting all previous entries made.
Wow, a seiyuu profile - something I haven’t done in a really long time (the last one was in August’ 07). I knew I said I’d do one for Ito Shizuka a long, long time ago so rejoice, Shizuka-sama fans! I’ve finally got it done ^^;
Warning: Image Heavy.
The focus of this post is Ito Shizuka’s harem. But first, a little intro to the woman behind all those sexy voices.
Yawn. It seems some people really have too much time on their hands. So yeah, in my second-to-last anime season preview I made fun of Kaiji, just like I make fun of everything in the world, regardless of whether I actually like it/them (Kobayashi Yu, Noto Mamiko, Moyashimon) or not (Lucky Star, StrikerS, Nonaka Ai).
And what do I wake up to find? About 400 more visitors to the blog than I normally get on a good day and random comments on an entry I wrote 6 months ago and have long consigned to some other part of my memory vault.
I got some comment saying:
>Jesus Christ, Kaiji is the best one this season, the VA is awesome. You fail.
last month, but I ignored it cos I don’t care (plus, the person had confused me with somebody called Jesus Christ). And a few hours ago, someone somewhere must’ve linked the post and invited people to make nasty comments, but alas!! I’ve only gotten 2 responses so far:
>You have shit taste and I hope you die in a car crash the day before a relative gets married with the fiancee in your car while she’s pregnant.
Which doesn’t work, because my future fiance can’t be pregnant unless genetic improvements in the next 5-6 years mean that men can bear children. Or unless this country’s government approves same-sex marriage. Or maybe he means that my relative will get married with his pregnant fiancee in my already-crashed car?
> Double fail for simultaneously judging a book by it’s cover and thinking that Kaiji is “about gambling”.
I think I’m supposed to feel insulted but I’m glad to say, it’s brightened up an otherwise very dull Sunday for me. Come on Kaiji fans, you can come up with better insults than that!
And on that note where are all the Neuro, Ninomiya-kun, Naruto and Evangelion fans??? I hate all of those anime too so somebody flame me, I feel rather ronery at the moment.
NB: I’ve never watched Kaiji, and currently have no intention of doing so. Just like I have no plans to watch Powerdolls, Harmagedon or Private Psycho Lesson. I have however, watched The Hills Have Size, F3 and Colorful.
Happy V-day to all three of you who celebrate it. Oh yes, another image-heavy post - it’s really just an excuse for me to drool over chocolates. Nice to know that half the seiyuu world is as bored as I am.
I didn’t have high hopes that Yu-tan would ever release anything outside of Konami-related anime themes, but it seems she’s popular enough to warrant a full-length album release. It’s called 「YOU&YU」 and hits shops on 26th March, jointly marketed and distributed by Konami and Sony. Production is by HΛL, the people behind a large chunk of Hamasakai Ayumi’s songs as well as Yu’s recent FIGHT OR FLIGHT single. 12 tracks in total, 8 new songs. No news so far on extras that might be included, if any.
Tracklist:
1.YOU&YU
2.FIGHT OR FLIGHT
3.約束 (Yakusoku)
4.空のコトバ (Sora no Kotoba)
5.絶望に咲く花 (Zetsubo ni Saku Hana)
6.ミックスジュースdeマックスパワー (Mix Juice de Max Power)
7.My life
8.赤いチャペル (Akai Chapel)
9.素直な気持ち (Sunao na Kimochi)
10.君に届くうた (Kimi ni Todoku Uta)
11.Overheat ～変わりゆく瞬間～ (Overheat ~Kawari yuku Shunkan~)
12.あしたの君 (Ashita no Kimi)
I’m so gonna preorder this.
