OreImo Seiyuu

There’s somewhat a festival of OreImo where its seiyuus were attending. Nothing biggie except that they’re being cute here (including Nakamura? lol).

The cast

The cast

You know what? I love that look on Kana-chan. Simply just like Kuroneko. Brosuke Nakamura looks rather uncool there. Well, when he was gaining popularity as Alto in Macross Frontier, he always had that macho and serious look. Anyway, from the front starting on left are Nabatame Hitomi (Saori Bajina), Taketatsu Ayana (Kousaka Kirino, more moe than Kirino herself) and Hanazawa Kana (Gokou Ruri @ Kuronek-hnnnnnnnnnnnnngh). On the back are Nakamura Yuuichi (Brosuke), uh, I think she is Satou Satomi (Tamura Manami) but why she looks so weird there?, and Hayami Saori (Aragaki Ayase).

And yes, Ayanyan is my main idol now.

Ayanyan’s Light Novel no Tanoshii Kakikata

For those who don’t know, Taketatsu Ayana’s first movie debut was called Light Novel no Tanoshii Kakikata which was released on theaters in Japan two days ago. Being a rather supportive character, it is true that the main spotlight of the story does not being focused on her.

A little bit of the summary of the story:

The story centers on Yakumo Atae, a first-year student who knows the hidden secret of his fearsome classmate Tsurugi Yabusame — while she is the school’s strongest girl, she is also a budding light novel author under the penname Mio Himemiya. Tsurugi is stuck in a huge slump while writing her new romantic comedy. Yakumo’s cousin Kokona Atae happens to be Tsurugi’s editor, and Kokona suggests that Yakumo and Tsurugi become a couple so that Tsurugi can know the experience of romance.

Never really bothered with the main male and female leads. Well, Sudou Maasa, the main female cast, actually looks like someone I know though. Anyway, people at 2ch is really having their attention with the movie because of Ayanyan herself. During the premier, some guy was getting some goodies and scanned it for us (I only put lower resolution tho for this post). Continue reading

PeroPero Ayana

Taketatsu Ayana, the very well-known seiyuu especially Azunyan of K-On, recently had a photo-shoot session at some place for a magazine. As people recognized her roles on MM! as Mio and that infamous imouto of Kyousuke in Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Wake ga Nai, it is hard to ignore her in seiyuu industry when being cute at the same time.

Somehow, a fan managed to trace where the shot was taken… 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

Azunyan :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.

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.
