My Room

A usual otaku room would be untidy. Well, that was it with my room before. I took some liberty to clean up the room, tossing away trashes, vacuum cleaning, and everything to make my room to be more like a living space. So, here are the pics of my clean and tidy room.

Aoi Yuuki’s Clothing for Auction

Aoi Yuuki, the seiyuu of the infamous mysterious yet beautiful and brilliant girl Victorique from Gosick, is currently auctioning her used clothing. Apparently she put her signatures over the clothes that totally means they’re for keeping rather than being used again. The cloth is sized at XS. Largest for Small size. Heck, at 145cm, she’s pretty small. Just like many of her roles.

Just a little while ago, Aoi Yuuki was promoting Gosick BD and DVD which is delayed for May 10 due to recent disaster in Japan. Fans who attended the launch event at Akihabara’s Toranoana were given with posters and towels of the anime.

Why Local Dub Sucks?

Unamused Sakuya is unamused

Unamused Sakuya is unamused

Most people don’t like Japanese anime to be dubbed into different language. To be fair, some of the Japanese don’t like games or animations from other countries to be dubbed in Japanese like that Modern Warfare 2 being localized in Japan. In Malaysia, we are blessed with many animations like 2D cartoons or even 3D to be dubbed in Malay language. This does not applied only to kid shows. Dramas from Japan, Korea, Philippines, Venezuela and other Latin America countries were dubbed into local language. While we still retain some of the shows to be in its original language, it can’t be help when majority of Japanese anime, that being considered as cartoons for kids, to be localized.

Facing the Music

Let's sing together!

Let's sing together!

Years of anime existence came along with its musics. Various kinds of song and genre. Recently, when I started to join a band that mostly playing anime songs and also going to Yumekukan karaoke to sing Japanese songs, I kinda realized that how music changes along with the advancement of anime to this day. If anime and manga started to use additional graphical tools such as 3D software, how about musics? My point here is that, it’s not about technological advance though. Well, let us see briefly about earlier anime songs.

4th Seiyuu Awards 2010

Two guys went over to Kinokuniya and spent more than RM 600++ to buy magazines and books that were previously ordered from Japan. Pretty funny to say that the amount is equivalent to a month’s pay for general worker at local factories or plantations or something like that and we were actually wasted them up on stuffs like these. Thank God that I got my Isetan card. So we got 5% discount on purchases at there. Some of the books had 20% off (like that Otacool 2 photobook which ultimaweaponx bought for kusakabemisao). Anyway, for my stuffs, one of the magazines is Voice Newtype 36. The 4th Seiyuu Awards 2010.

Fiddlestick

No, I am not talking nonsense. I am somewhat making my old dream alive again. Maybe only a few of you knew about my old stuffs where I kinda interested to play a violin. I tried to find my old posts again when I was using Limbo but it’s broken. Frankly, I was even playing around with the violin case like putting my airsoft AK-47 inside just to mimic those assassins. Although I supposed to learn to play the damn thing rather than wasting it up. If I recalled correctly, I purchased the violin for about RM 300++ at Mid Valley. I think around the year 2005. I didn’t touch the thing for sometime. Until I got to know several musicians or at least people who know about music a little bit like eccentrical and others.

Well, yeah. I forgot almost everything about music...

Well, yeah. I forgot almost everything about music...

After a brief fiddling around the violin and reading the guides, I remember back on how to play simple scores. As usual, easy song like Ode to Joy by Beethoven was chosen. Simply because this was the song I fiddle around back then. But I am still a newbie. Thinking of getting fully understand the whole song and master it. >:3

Obviously there are loads of Minorin pictures and others inside and I am lazy to scan them all. Haha. Bye.

Marina Inoue

It’s been some time I haven’t posting something about seiyuu. Well for this post, I am gonna talking about Marina Inoue. A 24 years old seiyuu who slowly starts her career through voice casting several minor characters from 2004. Well, Kanmuri Shigeru was quite an important character in Yakitate! Japan (and a female voice-casting a male character is not weird in seiyuu industry of Japan). She handled some prominent characters in year 2007 especially Kana Minami (Minami-ke), Yoko (Gurren Lagann) and Chiri Kitsu (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei). Succesful characters like those I said earlier boosted her career when she started having more jobs for main characters. For 2009′s animu, Alicia Melchiott (Valkyria Chronicles, also for the game) and Matsurika Shinouji (Maria+Holic) are her roles for voice casting. Despite being a rather multi-talented person, she only sings for characters’ songs and doesn’t have any personal album as of yet.

Personally, she’s quite thin. When watching some of her videos, I think she’s having some resemblances with Ami Koshimizu in terms of how she looks like. She has a mole on her left cheek. Not as near the left eye as Hirano Aya’s. Below are some pictures of her:

Some YouTube videos of her:

Interviewing Marina. (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load)

She went to Gainax Studio to learn some animation. (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load) The next is her PV for Getsumen to Heiki Mina (where she had her role as the main character)…

For those who have armpit fetishism, just watch at 1:15 for the win :3 (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load) You may read her daily blog at Marinavi.
