On the way home tonight, the Fuji/Oishi/Echizen version of "Birthday" came up on my iPod. Okiayu-san wasn't even singing, but for some reason, the song felt intensely emotional to me. It makes me physically ache for the high and sense of joy I used to get from TenniPuri. And it makes me almost angry (or maybe just disappointed) at the musicals and craziness that finally burned me out on it a bit. A lot of it was the recession as well, and it's one of the only things that I really feel as a loss in my life due to it... I stopped importing and owning the things that I loved and that made me happy, and therefore fell somewhat out of the swing of a fandom that had given me continuous enjoyment for ...six years now?
Anyway. Melancholy moment at three in the morning.

Costume progress updates on FaceBucket and on my AO Progress Tracker.

Happy Thursday, everyone.

From what I'm hearing through the grapevines:

Second Niou (double cast) will be Wada Taisuke. blog
Second Yagyuu will be Onoda Ryuunosuke. blog/profile (Born in '91. ;_; He looks like a cross between Kame and Baba. And that's a little freaky. He has done a lot of musicals though, including the Saiyuki Myu. ^^)

New Yukimura will be Masuda Toshiki (not the scarily old guy with the same kanji) profile

No information exists on New!Yanagi. Even the Chinese blogs don't know who he is yet. He was in an instructional DVD for Country Line Dancing. In Japanese. Yeah, IDK either.

In searching for him though, I found a Chinese blog with the same info that dilettantka had found and shared. It's here: bein' cool.

New Jackal was in Taiikukan Baby.
New Bunta ... is ... um... on Ameba. That's about all. Blog here.

Now food. Then L Movie. Yays.

[EDIT: I thought of it like fifteen times at work, but still forgot to post on the 11th to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY mocny!! I fail. :3 I hope you had a good birthday anyway!]

Jogged today to one of Shishido's mid-paced songs off "ZERO". 79% Hells yes.

Sucked at Agility as usual.
Down 3 pounds from last test and back on my downward streak!

Before now, my best Super HulaHoop (3 min) score ever was while listening to NEWS's "weeeeek".
Tonight I braved 6-minute. Amuro Namie's "Want Me, Want Me" for the first 3 minutes. (OMG SO DEAD!) and then "weeek" again for the left rotations. It was good. Very... just.... omg my thighs.

I am /bad/ at rhythm boxing. Almost as bad as I am at stepping thing.
I have all the Balance games unlocked now. And a shit-ton of Yoga poses and Strength exercises that I've never even done.

Also... am listening to DL5th soundtrack in an attempt to stave off my desire to watch all the episodes of Maoh in sequence while I finish Saku's neck band. /Sorely/ tempted.

Still no sign of work keys. This is a Very Bad Thing (TM). Where the bloody hell can they have gone!?

Am /not/ writing the drabble that I think I'm writing. Just not.

I am not watching the whole Myu tonight.
I'm just.... commenting... a little. On the bits that I'm watching.
Really.
( It's rather later, so this probably won't make much sense )
Right. So I actually did watch the whole thing. And now I'm sleeping. Really.
I'm starting the file splitting tonight so I can start uploads tomorrow because I assume higa_chuu would still like direct downloads rather than the torrent that went up.
Still want my very own DVD. >.>

Tonight was the best night of my month so far.
We woke up early and went to clean Jess's parent's house because tonight we hosted a party.
A Rikkai 2nd party.
With an S-Video cable for perfect picture on the 52" plasma TV. and surround sound.
I think Jess's parents weren't too pleased with us since the party ran well past the time they got back from dinner, but hopefully they'll forgive us.
Thank you /all/ for coming! It was awesome.
The trip home (and the post-myu wind down) involved a lot of fun discussion of the myu and the characters.

And then, what more appropriate for my wind-down than a (very long) Rikkai Meme? [unfinished]
( Read more... )

Right now. Right at this moment. I am the happiest person alive.
No, really.
^_______^
See?

In an hour, when I'm watching Rikkai Second and maybe eating some food. I'll be even better.

ashitara, you are my hero. I mean it. And I love the omiyage. I'll put it up next to my sewing area where my Myu photosets are pinned to the wall. Thank you. <3
( See why under the cut )

1) I has a new Favorite Myu Boy. Hes a pretty smirky boy. He has a cat. He's a Cancer, but I don't hold that against him. :P

2) I has a new favorite song of the week: "Oh Yeah!". I listened to it... about 15 times yesterday and several today. The video isn't actually for the song, it's a compilation of slips from the Taipei concert, but the timing is good enough that it looks pretty good most of the time. (There's a real fancam of the song here, but the sound isn't as good, duh. I just played it in sync with the same fan cam in better quality that I downloaded.... and two windows... dancing... I forgot what I was saying...)
Though today I also listened to "Taiyou no Sekai" a lot. And "Song for Me" (Riida~ &hearts). Last night I had "Fight Song" stuck in my head too. You know they wrote the lyrics and Nino wrote the music to that? So awesome. Yes indeed.

3) I has a shiny new copy of SIP volume 19. That's what I'll be doing the rest of the night thank you. After I work on Hyoutei for a while. And probably watch "Buku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru"... or maybe the last couple eps of Yamada Tarou.

4) I want to rant about Dramas... so look for that forthcoming. I'm up through 5 of Jotei now. ANd 7 of Yamada Tarou. Love love love.
I think I'll be starting 'M no Higeki' for quality and 'Biyou Shounen Celebrity' for fun. ^_^

5) Someday I will post pictures of my sewing corner (And my current projects)... the walls are all covered with inspirational materials (read: posters) and I love it so much.

6) I has a Halloween Meme! Damien ate the first one, which was funnier... but this is ok too.

"featuring" is not, in fact, pronounced "future-ing".
Futuring is not, in fact, a word. /If/ it were, it would apply to the act of putting something into the future. While this was appropriate for RokkakuMyu (which showed at least one Hyoutei scene several volumes out of order)... it was /really/ not appropriate for YamabukiMyu, which only had flash backs to St. Rudolph and thus was not futuring anything.
You seemed to have repaired this error during RikkaiMyu ~First Service. Please continue to keep in mind this important issue.
Love,
Maya

Back from NDK. Leaving for work in 2 minutes.

There will be more, this weekend was so full of... everything. I think overall it went much better than either of my last two conventions. It was definitely cheaper.

My big thanks of the weekend go to ladyofthegate for putting up with me and keeping me organized and in one piece the whole time (and for one of the best presents ever). And to japanshin for always having a rendom happy moment to distract me with.
Also, to the TeniMyu girls who recognized us on Friday night. There is nothing more gratifying then fangirls. ^^

My world is filled with Keigo love.
After work I got to settle in and finally watch The Imperial Match: Hyoutei Gakuen. ladyofthegate watched with me, and seemed pleased with it on the whole - which makes me very happy. We share many of our opinions on the new cast.
I'll have more notes later, I'm sure.
( For the moment... )

Now I'm listening to Kazuki's Best Actor album.
( Again, read of ignore as you will... )
