Putrajaya Shoot

guest18's waifu

guest18's waifu

This shoot was like more than a month ago. Barely after guest18 went back to Malaysia from his studies in New Zealand, he asked linkinstreet and I for some sightseeing around Putrajaya while taking some shoot there. It was during the night and we went straight to the high court building area before a sudden weather change that made us retire to a roofed area which was the Putrajaya Sentral. Not really a cool place for scenery shooting but the area is pretty large and almost midnight means less people around there. I mean, no other people at all except some guard patrolling the area once in an hour. Prior to this, linkin asked me if I can bring along my K-On! Alter figurines as the only object guest18 brought was his beloved Shiryuu figurine. So I brought along 5 figurines of Hirasawa Yui, Nakano Azusa, Kotobuki Tsumugi and Akiyama Mio (2 versions).

Being selected on the World Day of Social Justice, this will bring justice to K-On!! fans as well after the great season of 2010.

Freaking Clear Files

What is a ‘Clear File’? Usually I use clear files for sorting out my company’s receipts, invoices, etc. before I arrange them inside a proper and bigger file holders for archiving. By its name, you could already understand that the file is made to be a transparent material. Interestingly in Japan, the files are usually being printed with images and pictures which sometimes no longer transparent anymore. And, yes, they’re printed with anime characters!

K-On!

K-On!

Just recently, or I guess I should say, yesterday, a large volume of K-On! clear files along with other otaku stuffs were sold widely throughout Japan. The clear files were sold out. How the hell that happened? I don’t know. But surely they’re like a freaking hot stuffs to be bought. It’s told that a guy went to the shop, Lawson, to queue up as early as 4 a.m. and a lot of people already there. In just 20 minutes after the shop’s open the door, the clear files were sold out… Continue reading

K-On! Live Event ~Let’s Go!~

:P

:P

K-On! Live Event ~Let’s Go!~ was the concert that was held in Yokohama Arena at the end of last year in Japan. A concert dedicated to the fans of K-On! from seiyuu of the characters. Not really sure how many were there during the concert but it is said that the capacity of the arena is 17,000. It’s safe to say that the visitor counts are around that. While I wasn’t there in the concert but I just ordered the Blu-ray copy of it from Amazon Japan :3

I decided to buy this off from the site because it’s Blu-ray, man. Well, what kind of shitty excuse was that? lol. Anyway, this Blu-ray of K-On! has became the best selling music Blu-ray in Japan so far with 22,000 copies sold in a week. I wasn’t included as one of the fags that made the record breaking though because I ordered my copy a bit later. The record even surpassed the previous record of Namie Amuro Blu-ray selling; 14,000 in a week and 21,000 copies altogether from last September. Record doesn’t mean anything much but I can conclude from here that many otaku in Japan do have Blu-ray players such as PS3. An otaku might have a PS3 to play games as well unlike normalfag. So it is normal for anime stuffs to be popular in Blu-ray format.

Yui and Mio Photoshoot

Yui

Yui

This was actually taken several days ago. In all, there are 180 pictures I took with my LX3 (only a third of them being displayed here). I even testing around with my flash gun but turned out that bokeh pictures weren’t that good with the flash. Perhaps I need more practices or there might be settings that I did not know. Like Mio’s photoshoot previously, I was using Aperture Priority mode for this time too (F2.0, ISO 200). I didn’t use RAW by the way since I don’t have Lightroom for easier editing of images. LX3 is using RW2 format for it’s own RAW images that requires either 3rd party image editing software that supports it or it’s own plugins (which the installer doesn’t work on 64bit version of Windows 7 that I am currently using). Anyway, let’s have a look at Alter version of Yui and Mio figya below.

Realistic Drawing

Hatsune Miku has never been this lovely.

Looking through images around the net and then stumbled upon some nicely drawn images. Something that are more realistic for anime characters to be drawn in such way. Some are like oil paintings. I do wish if I could draw like these.

To sum up:

Yaranaika?

Making some room

Practically I got two bedrooms. But both of them are full of stuffs. Well, pretty much one of the rooms is being used by my brother and I. The room where I put my very own desktop computer along with my PS3. The bed is messy with a lot of stuffs on it. Boxes, magazines, mangas, tissue boxes, etc. Eventually, I was using the other room, my own proper room, for sleeping. But like any usual fucking lazy otaku room, it still has a lot of stuffs in it. I do have a plan on cleaning them up but I always have a thought that sooner it will be messy again. Heh, so I arranged up some of the unwanted materials (not entirely mine) in the book shelves to other side of the room while putting my stuffs there.

So, how many doujins did you guys do over that break?

So this guy called deviryuu suddenly bugged me on MSN that I should make a blog post out of K-On!! season 2 first episode fansub. I was like, What? K-On? Well, it’s more like reviewing his sub over that K-On episode. I was wondering why he asked me doing that but upon the torrent download link given to me by him, it looks something fun. Trollsub.

Weeeeeeeeeeee!
