Jesus, it's gotta be the hardest song to find after 2 weeks of release. Damn leechers... Ah well, at least I have it now <3 Kokia~

Reminds me of Beyond the Bounds (ZOE2), but FTN is a little better. BoB's still awesome, though.

So, I recently started Tales of Innocence. It's pretty kickass, and the cast is all too wacky XD Especially Iria and Sparda's laughs XD

<3 Ange. Luca is like a throwback to Cless, with Shuukihou and Goushourai. I just got his first Ougi as well, Zeppuumajingeki. It's pretty awesome, as you can finish a juggle with Majinken and KO stuff to the ground for Elmana to pick up and throw around. It's a shame El is a bad copy of Senel, but she's cuter and has a less annoying voice compared to emo siscon boy. One thing I REALLY like seeing here is the skill mastering system brought back from ToP/TotW, having you master the skills by using them finite amount of times (500 maximum), unlike the games starting from ToE++, that just gave you a counter up to 9999(9).

The Style system is pretty cool, since I can get the benefits of stuff like Black Onyx and Emerald Ring without the items, plus it's like you have 5 extra accessory slots. The disadvantage, of course, is the fact that NOBODY has shields, gloves, helmets, etc equippable! Plus the "real" accessory slots are just as flogging useless, outside of equipping two Stone Checks or whatever. The Grade Shop is also... well, not pretty good, but just not bad, I guess. I like how it already displays how much grade it'll take to buy the stuff. I already bought the stone for transferring Levels and Style/Abilities, working on Kizuna/Friendship and Skill Mastery. Max level is 250 -_-; I don't HAVE that much time!

Now, the battle system, ooh, I love it. It's like TotA + TotW:RM mixed in one. Free run, target switch, easy character switch, and ZOMG Infinity Jam. Rekkuuzan + Twin Bullet + Garenjin = INFINITE RAPE WORKS. Nuff said.

Anyway, just a mini-review. Off to gaming!

Just watched Jackie's 07 World Tour concert in Hong Kong.

It wasn't just good. Good implies that there's an actual standard of comparison for Jackie to be measured against. The shitty newcomers we get are so shit, we can't actually compare them with Jackie. Therefore,

Jackie is fucking AWESOME. That puts him in the leagues of Elton John, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Elvis and many other music legends. I cried not once, not twice, but four times during the concert. First time was because he was so good the songs just moved me to tears, second time was because I realized how shitty HK singers had become compared to the old legends, third and fourth times were from me singing out loud as well and being unable to hold back the emotional surge from singing such awesome songs. As much as I regret to say it, Jackie is one of the few still alive who can actually sing, and that puts us at a dilemma point - what the fuck's gonna happen when all the old stars die? The new ones sure as hell don't cut it. Sure, they can dance 40 minutes straight, and Jackie starts breathing heavily after 20, but he can sing, act AND dance at the same time, and sound fucking good. The new ones? They use pre-recorded vocals and mouth it. If Eason is a top 実力 guy, then Jackie is the GOD of it.

Seriously, the guy is like 46 already. If we don't get some real singers in the industry soon, we'll be overrun by rappers (people who can't sing to a melody), hip hop trash (people who can't sing to a beat), and death curse metal (people who lack both melodic and rhythmic sense and therefore try to cover it up by swearing a lot and hoping no one notices). Well, that's all from me tonight.

Jackie Cheung is FUCKING AWESOME. You heard it here, folks.

Copied from Icarus:

Japanese blogs and forums have been set abuzz by the arrest of a man for allegedly publishing “obscene” doujinshi.  39-year old Masaya Miyashita (宮下昌也), a professional illustrator known for his work on erotic PC games, was taken by Matsuyama police on charges of distributing obscenity through five bookstores.  (Miyashita supposedly worked under the pseudonym “Shiyami Yasamata” and has a website which is inaccessible at the moment.  But here’s the archived version.)  6,600 copies of his doujinshi were confiscated.  Police also estimate Miyashita has made a profit of over 15 million yen from doujinshi since 2003.

Hiei: Well, I'll be damned. Seems like it's illegal to make doujins in Japan, especially if you're one of the 200,000 artists doing it *eyeroll* Obscenity my ass, why aren't the BL artists arrested too then? Or the grandma porn guys? Or the futa? It seems like they're just targetting us lolicons. Bastards.

Trip was pretty awesome:

1st day - drove to Prague, went sightseeing, touched the golden bridge statue thingy, spent a night laughing my ass off with my best friend for the first time in a long... LONG time. Must be 2 years since I even slept in the same building, let alone talk away into the dark recesses of the night.

2nd day - arrived in Wolfsbach after a huge traffic jam. We hit a dead dog along the way. Poor thing got run over by several cars and was... pretty deformed.

3rd day - started City of Heroes, played some old shit with my friend, like Starship Troopers (awesome bug fighting), Apocalyptica (shitty game), Freelancer, and some crap like that.

? day - went bike riding, had a picnic in the fields. Didn't have the stamina to push my bike all the way back up the hill and took an hour to finish what was a 3 minute ride downhill, only back up. Believe me when I say that slope was STEEP.

? day - watched the Hair musical's premier. The actors were fucking awesome, but the beginning was rudely interrupted by a mic failure. The producer guy actually forgot to do a soundcheck. For a musical. MUSICAL. SOUNDCHECK. LOL WHAT?

? day - went to the Feuer und Erde festival, tried out a few of the replica swords. They weren't strengthened steel, but did split a wooden club I swung it at with minimal effort. Those things are fecking heavy.

And some more shit, but mostly just playing videogames and enjoying myself. Flying back to HK tomorrow then to Japan. Can't wait for comiket!

 For 2 weeks. Bye?

RF: I loev SRW OGs OST... but some of the tracks sound worse than their GBA OG2 counterparts, especially Zengar's. However, his in-game speech is so manly it practically offsets the misbeats in the music.

My schedule just went completely wonky. My friend, who was supposed to drive over on the 3rd, is now driving over on the 1st instead, so I have to leave Amsterdam a day early, which means I need to change my ticket, donate my shit to the city hall, and all sorts of fucking getting-out-of-Germany-crap like closing my bank account.

Man, I both love and hate it when surprises happen.

On a second account, Sho Hayami's voice is still as sexy as ever. (Woodrow, Klein Sandman, Knight Schumacher, etc)

His voice is probably the only one I would go gay for. Mmm.
