Pumpkin's Palette: Cream to your coffee

For those that watched the latest Valvrave episode, #8, Haruto made a comment to L-Elf that
"I (Haruto) am the cream to your (L-Elf) coffee". What he meant was that although coffee is bitter, like L-Elf, by adding some cream on top the drink tastes much nicer, and that was Haruto's subtle way of agreeing to team up with L-Elf.

[Lyrics] third Wizard - Yuutaku II 「ゆーたくⅡ」

Basic info:

"Yuutaku II" 「ゆーたくⅡ」 is a unit comprised of two seiyuus, Ono Yuuki and Eguchi Takuya. Their two-sided debut single is called 『third Wizard/IN FUTURE!!』. The song "third Wizard" is used as the main theme song of the radio show "What will I do? What will I be!? Yuutaku II" 「どうする?どうなる!?ゆーたくⅡ」, and their second song "IN FUTURE!!" is used as a ending song of the anime Battle Spirits: Sword Eyes.

Comments:

I found these two songs to be very upbeat and catchy. It's full of fun and energy (especially in their PV, they act pretty childish/silly). 

You can download a sample of this single here. You can watch the PV here.

Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000% - Episode 9 [v.P]

First anime to watch on my catch-up list is definitely UtaPri.

What I felt when my computer died.

My ideal house

I will buy a seven story house just so I can make my staircases look like this: (pics taken from the Ikebukuro Animate shop)

 

My Monday

As you read in the previous post, today's weather was very fine indeed.

I met up with megabubbletea to vamp up my new laptop, ie. wipe Windows 8 and install Linux Mint 15. We spent most of the morning doing just that, while most of the late afternoon was us trying to get Osu! working (without lagging) on our LM's. While we got the program to run, sadly, the game was too laggy to play.

pumpkin_so77 and megabubbletea 'shaggin' it out' on Cheese.

I spent most of tonight transferring my files (mainly music and pictures) back on to my laptop hard drive. Now I've finally got time to download and catch up on the four day's worth of anime and music that I missed out on (I think I've got about 6 hours worth of anime, and another 5 hours of music).

Other news: 

• Natsuki's character single reached 4th ranking on Friday on the Oricon charts.
• Twitter is dead again tonight, so I can't get my first hand anime news.
• I started playing Devil Survivor 2 (the game) on my DS. I'm not even past the first day (Sunday) and I've died over 8 times already. I'm not a very good gamer.
• If I'm not feeling lazy tomorrow I may do a compiled anime review; Don't worry, I'll definitely do a UtaPri review.

New toy (laptop), New experiences... in Microsoft failing

So my trusty Acer laptop died on Thursday, and I was absolutely devastated. I mean I had no computer access for TWO WHOLE DAYS.
Yes, I was very distraught. I even ended up having to sleep early (@10pm)! And today I finally had time to walk into an electronics store and happily bought myself a new laptop, a HP ENVY m6-1117TX. I was pretty content with this purchase, considering I got this baby at a bargain price.

So the story goes: after my laptop died, I immediately consulted my computer guru megabubbletea (+Diluen Cheong ) on what laptop I should purchase and he sent me a list of options (a short list thank goodness!). I then compared his various suggestions and decided that the HP Envy was the one I wanted because it fell into my desired price range (below $800), in fact it was advertised online as $698, and had really good specs.

But this morning when I walked into the store I discovered that the price tag on the laptop I wanted said $998. I jumped in surprise and thought 'WHAT? That's too expensive, that's not what the online advertisement said!' I kind of started to panic, thinking 'oh no, what should I do, I don't want to fork out that much money for a laptop, should I pick another brand instead?' But then I decided to *try* and "argue" with the salesperson to see if I could get the HP Envy at a cheaper price, namely the price listed online, but I wasn't hoping too much. Surprisingly, the salesman agreed to sell the laptop to me at the price listed online, and he too was surprised at how cheap such a good laptop was; A co-worker of the salesman serving me overheard our conversation and he immediately declared that he was going to set one stock aside for himself (noting that there were only 4 pieces of stock left). So I guess I was pretty lucky in this transaction.
 

Then tonight I decided to have a play with Windows 8 before dumping it on Monday and installing Linux Mint instead. It took a while to setup and download the apps (perhaps due to the slowness of my internet). Of course once I was able to 'use the computer' I HAD to go online and tell the world (via social networking - G+) that I'm using my new gadget and testing out Win8. So I clicked on the IE icon (because Chrome isn't installed by default on a Windows) and I was immediately greeted with the following friendly familiar message:

Was I furious? Not really, I was pretty much rolling on the floor laughing at how poor Microsoft was. Not even 10 seconds into the system and a Windows error message was thrown into my face. This has got to be a world record at Microsoft failing.

Shinomiya Natsuki's character single ranked 6th on first day of release

Oricon released their rankings tonight for this week's set of new releases, which includes Natsuki's character single, from Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000%. Natsuki came in 6th, which is pretty good, considering he had to compete against popular bands such as Arashi, who came 1st, and 2PM, who came 2nd. Congratulations to my bi-polar prince!

[Lyrics] Be - Song Riders (Devil Survivor 2: The Animation ED)

Edited my Houtsuin drawing. Does he look creepier now? (lol)

I love Devil Survivor 2: The animation. And I need an excuse to procrastinate, so I'm translating the ED song 'Be' by Song Riders. Thank goodness most of it is English lyrics. Unfortunately I don't have CD booklet so I couldn't transcribe the lyrics by sight. I got the jap lyrics from here. Although I did double check the lyrics by ear.

Kanji lyrics

I have not thought about living until yesterday
It just a seemed like one scene of a film
I need lore

Oh, everything has utterly changed
泣きそうになるくらい
目を塞いでも変わらない
思いが反比例

(I take it)
Close your eyes
Imagine how to live
You must do it
I close my eyes
And determined
I'm pressed for choice
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
We gotta choose it
So do we?
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it

(Now)

Everybody go
残酷な世界を旅する
生きるしか　Chanceは無い
どれだけ目を塞いだって
チクタク迫り来る終焉を
選択肢は無い
答えを探してあがいてもがいても見えない
争い奪って壊し合って繰り返しても止めない
もうどこに居たって同じだって
だから僕は止まらない
また日が沈んで行く

Hold your hand
You don't to meet someones end no more
So do I
For not to leave
Don't wanna get a wrong choice
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
We gotta choose it
So do we?
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it

Why? How?
They disappeared.
Still I don't get it, for real
Combine forces you and me.
We trust to get back the peace

Close your eyes
Imagine how to live
You must do it
I close my eyes
And determined
I'm pressed for choice
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
We gotta choose it
So do we?
Just about a leave, faraway
生きるため It's only one
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it

Why? How?
They disappeared.
Still I don't get it, for real
Combine forces you and me.
We trust to get back the peace

Romaji lyrics

I have not thought about living until yesterday
It just a seemed like one scene of a film

Oh, everything has utterly changed
naki sou ni naru kurai

(I take it)
Close your eyes
Imagine how to live
You must do it
I close my eyes
And determined
I'm pressed for choice
Just about a leave, faraway

English translation

I haven't thought about living until yesterday.
Everything seemed so unreal, just like from a movie.
I need to know more.

Oh, everything has utterly changed.
It's enough to bring me to tears.
Even if I close my eyes, the reality won't change,
But my feelings will.

(I'll take life on)
Close your eyes!
Imagine how it is to truly live.
You must do it.
I close my eyes,
And be determined.
I'm pressed for choice,
Should I abandon everything and go faraway.
To survive,
It's the only choice.
We gotta choose it,
So do we?
I'm just about a leave faraway.
To survive,
It's only one (step),
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it (Be the one to choose your own fate).
Now.

Everybody has to make a journey across this cruel world.
My only chance is to survive.
No matter how much I cover my eyes,
There's no avoiding
The end that is looming, as time ticks by.
I struggle as I seek for answers that cannot be found.
There's no end to these desperate struggles, the destruction and breaking (of your soul)
No matter where I go, I keep seeing the same scenarios.
That's why I will not stop (fighting),
The sun will set again.

Let me hold onto your hand,
Because I don't want to see any more lives lost.
I also don't want to leave,
I don't wanna make a wrong choice.
If you're just about to leave faraway,
To survive,
It's only one (moment's decision).
We gotta choose it,
So do we?
If you're just about to leave faraway
To survive
It's only one (choice)
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it (Be the one to choose your own fate).

Why and how did they disappear?
I still don't really get it.
Let's combine our forces,
We'll trust each other and bring back the peace.

Close your eyes!
Imagine how it is to truly live.
You must do it.
I close my eyes,
And be determined.
I'm pressed for choice,
Should I abandon everything and go faraway.
To survive,
It's the only choice.
We gotta choose it,
So do we?
I'm just about a leave faraway.
To survive,
It's only one (step),
Can you drive your destiny?
Be it (Be the one to choose your own fate).
Now!

Why and how did they disappear?
I still don't really get it.
Let's combine our forces,
We'll trust each other and bring back the peace.

[Seiyuu] Suwabe tweets about Google Glasses and DS2 live broadcast

Last night was the third round of the Devil Survivor 2: The Animation live broadcast show. Seiyuu Suwabe Junichi was the host of the show and Nobuhiko Okamoto was invited as guest. I can't comment on the show yet because I haven't watched it, I'm still waiting for some kind person to upload it. But I bet it was full of fun judging from how the first and second round of shows went.

『Google Glass』遂に実物を、見た！触った！試した！ マジ新世紀！

Also, Suwabe tweeted early this morning that he got his hands on the latest Google Glasses. He said that "He obtained the real thing (Google Glasses), touched it and tried it! It's really amazing new technology".

Pumpkin's Seiyuu appreciation post: Hatano Wataru

Since I don't have any news to post today, enjoy a picture of one of my favourite seiyuus, Hatano Wataru. Maybe I'll start a daily seiyuu appreciation picture post since my collection of seiyuu pictures is increasing daily.

UtaPri merchandise gone too far?

Broccoli goods announced last week that UtaPri scrunchies can be purchased at their store for 700 yen each (that's approximately $7 AUD).

Seriously!? $7 for a piece of rubber covered with some cloth to tie your hair with!

Then they also announced that they will start selling these really UGLY stockings that no one would dare to wear outside the house, for a price of 2,500 Yen (approx. $25 AUD). =="

No second season of K but a movie instead

Last night an event for the anime K, titled "K-Who is the next-" was held. With JunJun, OnoD, Sakurai Takahiro, Kenjiro and Namikawa participating in the event.

It was announced that there will be a movie (rather than the fan-speculated second season) and its tentative release date is set for 2014. No other information is available yet. 

Pictures stolen from Kenjiro's twitter.

Personally I would've preferred a second season, but then I'm not sure how they would develop the story considering the first season ending. Let's just wait and see how the movie turns out (i.e. don't get your hopes high).

Pumpkin's Palette: DS2 Ep 8 好きなシーン

Ever since I watched Ep 8 of Devil Survivor 2, I wanted a Houtsuin smug face to hang on my wall, so I drew his face. I also double-sided my Houtsuin drawing with Alcor.

Let's just say the story escalated reeeaallly quickly in ep 8. Like A LOT happened. \no-spoilers, but there were quite a bit of foreshadowing, so I've placed my bet on what the ending will be.

I'm starting to get sad that there's only 5 episodes remaining.

Sunday night Twitter stalking - Valvrave, Shingeki and UtaPri

Wahahaaha. 兵長!!! (@yumemitoga)

@Utapuri0517 snapped these while at the UtaPri Cafe. Jealous MAXXXX!

Woah so cool!! @valvrave (official Valvrave twitter account)

There was a special Valvrave event at the Shibuya Animate shop.

[CD Review] Natsuki Shinomiya's Character songs

This will be pretty brief as I want to get back to watching the Shirokuma Cafe Event DVD.

But I finally downloaded Natsuki's songs. *cue screams*

Wow the lyrics are so beautiful *cries* I thought that I wouldn't like Natsuki songs, only Satsuki songs, but this performance totally surprised me. I did not expect the key change at the end of "Sirius e no Chikai". That song is all about the desire to grow stronger.

While "Yell's" lyrics falls along the same line of Syo's "Challenge" song, whose theme was "YOLO - enjoy life and the world around you, because it'll pass you by before you know it", Yell pretty much talks about "yeah, your life might suck, but hey everything will be fine eventually if you will it to be; just be lucky-go-happy, appreciate the beautiful things around you and keep trying.

Also, anyone notice the slogan at the side of the CD box: "You will find the music more beautiful than kiss!" - Hahaha, well I wouldn't getting an actual kiss from the princes. XD

I might go and translate the lyrics a little later on in the week. But for now back to my Shirokuma show.

PSotD - 100万回の愛革命！

Title: 100万回の愛革命！ (Hyakuman-kai no Ai Kakumei (Revolution)!)

Artist: Marginal #4
Year: 2013

Notes: Lately I've been delving into the realm of otome CDs (aka drama CDs targeted at the female audience), and Rejet is one of my favourite companies that produce such delicious goodies.
Marginal #4 is a 4 person musical unit comprised of seiyuus: Masuda Toshiki (増田俊樹), Takahashi Naozumi (高橋直純), KENN and Suzuki Yuto (鈴木裕斗). Initially this group was created to perform only at Rejet's live shows. But then the company decided to leech more money off its audience and get the group to release a CD.
There are two parts of the chorus where you will hear this soft "click/Tch" sound, and no, this is NOT a glitch (like I initially thought), it's just the boys kissing the listener. 'Why?' you ask - well this is aimed at a female audience after all, and we like to hear pretty boys kissing us on the cheek?
There's a total of 4 songs in this CD, but I only like the first and the last one. The lyrics of the second song are a bit... er... strong(?), unless I'm reading too much into the lyrics. Okay fine, to be honest the lyrics of all the songs pretty much revolve around how much the boys love/dote on you, they'll do anything to get your attention, love is a dangerous drug and that they want to get close to you \(^^)/.

Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000% - Episode 8 [v.P]

[Sad to say but I kind of lost the mood to properly review this episode. But then again since when have I "properly" reviewed an anime? And what does "properly review" even mean? Yeah okay, you can tell I'm in a down mood because I'm rambling over here. Why the bad mood? Life, stress, deadlines, assignment marking, life. Wanting to do certain things but no time (like drawing fanart: got quite a few ideas/poses stacked up but no time to draw them out) and lack of skills (like translating Masa's Sanctuary song - I just checked the Jap lyrics, he uses a lot of difficult words/phrasing, and it looks like I won't be able to do the translation any justice with my current Jap knowledge). "Yeah whatever pumpkin, I don't really care about your life", well I never asked for you to care, "Seriously I don't care", fine whatever I'll shut up now.]

Picture dump of this episode first. Scattered thoughts about this episode right at end.

New Magi character figurines

The official Magi staff Twitter account tweeted earlier today the following picture of new Sindbad and Ugo figurines, and an Aladdin earphone jack.

The tweet also commented that Sindbad looks rather large (or rather the leaf looks rather small IMO (lol)), and that these figurines were made with quite a lot of detail. 

Which one would you want the most?

Ren's character song takes 5th rank on first day of release

Ren was no match for mainstream JPop, AKB48, Perfume and Scandal. He came in #5 ;_;

OLDCODEX's single "The Misfit Go", used as the OP for the anime Arata Kangatari, came in #25, and Song Rider's single "Trauma/Be", used as OP for the anime Devil Survivor 2, came in #24.

Also, earlier tonight Suwabe tweeted "Thanks everyone for picking up (the new CD) today."

Seeing this message made me feel ultra guilty. I'm so sorry Suwabe /cries/ I seriously would've bought your CD if I was in Japan.

[Lyrics] Orange Rhapsody 『オレンジラプソディ』 - Jinguuji Ren (Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000%)

I like it when seiyuus have twitter because that means I can stalk them more often.

So Suwabe tweeted this afternoon that "The true meaning of Orange Rhapsody is in the second chorus". That made me wonder to which line he was referring to... and thus gave me motivation to go and translate the full song.

Description: Kanji lyrics, Romaji lyrics and English translated lyrics of Ren's new character song "Orange Rhapsody".

Note: Transcribed from the CD booklet and by ear. Translation not 100% certain, I'm still learning the language. The parts in brackets ( ) in the English translation are there to help the meaning flow smoother.

English translation

Hey lady, can you hear me?
My long sighs reaching you(r ears),
I invite you to the best dream (you'll ever experience).

Like the moon floating in the night sky,
Surrounded by stars. I'm dreaming and dancing.
To shine brilliantly and beautifully,
Give me the 'love calls' of the ladies.

Holding the light in our hearts high,
Yes, get up, get up, get up. Once more, get up, get up, get up!
Thanks, I feel great/energetic wrapped in (your) love.
In the sea of starlight that everyone has created
I kiss you forever.

Together, let's light up the world in orange flames,
And unleash the passion.
Our trust in each other resounds in a rhapsody.
Even in darkness,
There is a song that shines/sparkles.

Let's take a journey to find true love.
We're dreaming and dancing.
There's only a mere few centimetres distance to your lips,
Looks like I can make this 'trip' and give you a sweet kiss.

I want to feel your voice.
Yes, get up, get up, get up. Once more, get up, get up, get up!
Thanks. Hey look, our fingers are intertwined.
'Cos such tantalizing/enticing moments
They're not bad...right? (/You don't dislike it, right?)
Ah, come here, I'll give you a kiss.

Together let's travel to the end of our orange coloured dream,
Until there is 'zero' distance between our love.
Miracles like this rhapsody don't occur twice.
There's no more need for any (spoken) words (between us),
Your 'heart' (he means love) will sing the song.

Together, let's light up the world in orange flames,
And unleash the passion.
Our trust in each other resounds in a rhapsody.
Even in darkness,
There is a song that shines/sparkles.

Hey lady, can you hear me?
Close your eyes,
I'll always be by your side.
