[quote name='Madara' timestamp='1324327150' post='114188'] Thank you. And I'm definitely going to research "Haikara-san ga Tooru." I will watch that link you provided, but I'm also eager to track down the anime. I just checked Anime News Network, where it's listed under an English title, &...

(Right? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> ) ...

Thanks for all the input about the weather everyone! I'm going to go ahead and book a hotel room and hope that it won't conflict with my school. *crosses fingers* Really excited for this!

Oh gosh- it's on the East Coast this time so I can actually go. It's only a 7-9 hour drive from Canada, and I've been wanting to visit New York again too. The only thing is I'm really afraid of the humidity! Is it really hot in June? I was in the area in August last time and almost got heat stroke. ...

Thanks for the photos! Apparently the photoshoot was directed by Nicola Formichetti who is well known for his work with Lady Gaga. I'm a bit disappointed with the photoshoot since I expect more out of Formichetti really. :-( It would've been cool to see more of Yankee Gomaki or something. ;________;...

From the video clip, it looks like the song title is Carina Notte and it is the opening to a TV show called Pinkiss. It seems to be a variety show targeting girls/women with information about shopping and stuff. Karin voices the character for the show, Kopink-chan. Here is the show's website: http:/...

I haven't posted here in so long since I was out of the loop in HP for several years, but I came back because of Ai's graduation and now the 10th gen! Anyway, I really like Haruka's pureness, like when she started crying while hugging Sayu, and Masaki's naturalness. I really hope that point about Ma...

I don't really like the song very much. Not really feeling the PV and the lyrics are kind of lame and repetitive. I notice just in general in English pop and rock songs, there is a tendency to repeat lyrics especially at the end of the songs, singing the same line over and over. Can't think of any e...
