Pray for Japan

I'm getting more and more depressed everyday reading/watching/listening to all the updates on the situation in Japan. :(

Here's a list of donation channels to help with the earthquake relief. Please help if you can. Even if it's a little. If you don't have a credit card, try asking your parents, relatives or other adults you're close to to help you donate using their card and pay them back in cash! I plan to donate once I get my pay at the end of the month.

That said, I'm putting this blog a short hiatus till the situation in Japan gets better. Not that it's going be of any help but I'm just not in the mood to squeal over otome games when my favourite country is getting screwed over, not once but numerous times consecutively, by acts of Nature.

Also, to all those people who said things like it's "divine retribution" and other insensitive comments of the like, just...go away. =/

Seiyuus Known Safe

Okay, I'm sure everyone knows about the earthquake thingie by now and the idol fandom world is in chaos with everyone frantically trying to make sure that their idols are safe. Mine are, thank goodness. One was them was in the middle of performing his musical when it happened. I'm SO GLAD that he wasn't doing one of his flying stunts at that moment and was instead waiting behind the curtains for his cue.

Anyway, here's a list of seiyuus who are known to be safe for the otaku fans. There's also a wiki that is keeping track of the names as they come in. Seems like most of the otome game seiyuus I know are safe. All of the Starry Sky seiyuus are on the list...except for Hirakawa Daisuke. Oh god, please be safe. D: Toriumi Kousuke, Tachibana Shinnosuke and Terashima Takuma are safe too.

And um, something to lighten up the mood: some dude getting himself an eroge after the earthquake. Uh... O_O

Update: Hirakawa Daisuke is safe! Thanks to information from Rin. ^^

Ijiwaru My Master / Prologue

Since the prologue itself is quite long, I thought to make a post on it before I move on to the individual characters. I tried to include the details in the First Impression post but it ended up REALLY LONG so yeah, putting it in a separate post.

Kurumi is a typical high school girl who leads a boring and un-happening life...and likes it that way. Her wish is to just float through life peacefully without getting involved in any drama-lama stuff as much as possible. But unfortunately this is impossible, being the heroine of an otome game.


One fine rainy day after school, she was burabura-ing around the streets when she caught sight of a bunch of blue roses at the florist. Fascinated, she stepped closer to look at them, thinking that WOW TECHNOLOGY IS SO ADVANCED THAT WE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO ORGANICALLY PRODUCE BLUE (like really BLUE) ROSES!!! Yeah. Then she heard someone calling her from behind and turned around to see her kouhai Homura-kun smiling at her. ♥ She told Homura about the blue roses and was disappointed when Homura told her that the flowers are just artificially dyed. She then remarked that since blue roses represent "impossibility", if there ever was a day when blue roses could bloom naturally, it'd be a miracle. /awkward translation

WARNING: SUPER MAJOR CONTENT AND CG SPOILERS AHEAD

PSP Get!

PSPゲットだぜ!

FUCK YEAH FOR REALZ.

My first ever gaming console~ ♥ 大事にするよ!

Bought it yesterday and my friend who accompanied me was also tempted to get one after seeing it. After having lunch, we actually went to a library, got ourselves a seat in a random corner and started frantically setting it up and then playing with it (yes I bought the game along with me). XD

So, this marks a significant milestone in my gaming history. Who knew my interest in PC otome games would lead to a purchase like this??? :P またレベルアップです!

P.S. Almost done with the Prologue review post for Ijiwaru My Master. 待ってろ!
