Come With Me! K-ON Live Event

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:18:47 -0700

Come With Me! was the second concert of the TV anime K-ON!. Held on the 20th February this year at Saitama Super Arena. The venue alone was a big step compare to the first event where it only held 17,000. The concert was longer by an hour from the previous live. The Blu Ray limited edition cost me about 135 bucks. The LE had a poster and magazine with about 130 pages. The opening wasn't that climatic like the first one. They just simply walked into the stage, nothing out of ordinary. The surprise element was not there, I guess. After the 2 songs they did their character image song. I love their outfits. It was certainly much much better than the ones they wore on Let's Go! Live. And I also like the way they used the stage during their performances. Though Aki mostly stayed on one spot. Toyosaki Aki (Hiarasa Yui) - Oh My ギー太!! Hikasa Yoko (Akiyama Mio) - 青春 Vibration Hiyocchi did the "Moe Moe Kyun" thing again, though I must say it lacked the moe factor it had during the first concert. Maybe because there was no Moe Moe Kyun during the second season? Sato Satomi (Tainaka Ritsu) - Drumming Shining My Life The best outfit amongst the 5 members, in my opinion. She looked really cute in it. Kotobuki Minako (Kotobuki Tsumugi) - Diary はフォルテシモ I think Minako's the best performer during this concert. She looked so natural throughout. I guess it helped that she's a member of SPHERE. She looked cute in her dance too. ^_^ Taketatsu Ayana (Nakano Azusa) - Over the Starlight She certainly improved a lot compared to the previous one. She was not stiff. Oh! And she did the "Welcome to Light Music Club NYAN!" HAHAHAHA ^_- After the HTT Chara songs,they introduced the additional 4 casts (with Image Songs), the seiyuu for Jun, Ui, Nodoka, and Sawa-chan. When Ayacchi came back after her solo performance, Aki made her say "Saitama Super Arena, blah blah" and she chocked on her words. Instead of saying Saitama she ended up saying Saiko. HAHAHA. Kawaii ne, Ayacchi wa. ^_^ There was also a special guest. Drum roll!! It was the director of K-ON! Yamada Naoko. The director came out with Azu-nyan's glowing stick. It was actually cute and nice of her cheering for Ayacchi. Hiyocchi made a really lame yet funny word pun about Kyoto Animation to Yamada Naoko. "Kyo" You'll get it when you watch the concert. The director was pretty shy and Aki-chan got her to shout "Saitama Super Arena," in which she said in a rather meek voice. lol Anyway, she was really young for a director, I was expecting an older one. She's quite cute too. ^_- I liked how Aki-chan always go into Yui mode whenever Madoka is there. "Ui, ice cream!" lol I totally pictured that scene on the anime when Yui did that, rolling on the floor. What a lazy bum. Ah, how I envy your life, Yui-chan. Among Jun, Ui, and Nodoka's performance, I like Nodoka's the best. Yonezawa Madoka (Hirasawa Ui) - Uki Uki New! My Way Nagata Yoriko (Suzuki Jun) - Junjou Bomber! Yoriko's performance was not there yet, she often shouts when she sings. Fujitou Chika (Manabe Nodoka) - Jump After the last 3 image songs, there was this small skit where the HTT members where looking for the door that leads into the room so they can practice. I liked how the audience where expecting them to appear on the main stage and suddenly the spot lights directed to one of the entrance to the arena. They all wondered what the centre stage was for. Mugi said maybe it was a ring, then of course Yui and Ricchan agreed and that the stage was there because they are going to fight lol. When there's boke expect the tsukkomi... Mio and Azunyan. They did: いちごパフェが止まらない (Ichigo Parfait ga Tomaranai) ときめきシュガー(Tokimeki Sugar) I didn't like Hiyocchi's mic even at the start of the concert. There was a part on this song where Aki's mic was overpowering Hiyocchi's, as if Hiyocchi was the second voice. There was also a part where Hiyocchi got lost, I think there was a slight problem on her earpiece and got lost because of the loud crowd. It was quite obvious, because Aki and Hiyocchi's singing were not synced during that time. Fortunately all the problems only lasted for a few seconds. Honey Sweet Tea Time Again, I loved Mina-chan's performance. It was perfect. ごはんはおかず (Gohan wa Okazu) I LOVE DEATH DEVIL. Once again, they stole the stage starting from the entrance. It had the "oomph" I was looking for. The stairs on the main stage opened revealing the small stage of the band. They did not have a guest rock guitarist this time but instead they added a bass guitarist and a drummer, which might I add were so cool. Especially the drummer, she looked really cool. ASAKAWA YUU is love. I always like her. Enough said. ( I might be biased ont his one 'cause I really like that seiyuu) ^_- Death Devil looked like a reall rock band. The bass drum had the bands name on it. So was the speaker on the stage. And they all looked like the role. They have smokes and fire. Cool stuff. I Love how Sanada was always into Sawa-chan's role. She said "aishiteru ze" on the end (masculine way of saying I love you). Rock on! After that they talked about tea time and cakes of course! Then how the hiragana writing looks cute, regardless of the word context. I lol'd when Asakawa Yuu playfully pushed Hiyocchi when she passed by the poor seiyuu. HAHAHA. It just shows how close they are. On to the main event! They learned two new songs to play!! Isn't that nice? They played Pure Pure Heart and U&I for real. Sato was so cool. I always have the soft spot for girl drummers. HAHAHA. I liked Ayacchi's guitar. Hiyocchi almost cried after playing Pure Pure Heart. I liked their performance of 天使にふれたよ!(Tenshi ni Fureta Yo!) the best. Sugar cried while singing! Awww :( I'm surprised Hiyocchi didn't cry. After the song, Ayacchi also came out crying. I went into fanboy mode when Sanada played a grand piano for real. This is my second favourite performance. Of course, Hiyocchi cried. REALLY REALLY cried. They did Fuwa Fuwa Time before doing 2 encores with 2 songs each. No, Thank You! & Utauyo! MIRACLE, and Don't Say "Lazy" & Cagayake Girls They all had speeches like they did before. Ayana cried so hard she can't even finish what she's saying, you can hear the audience cheering her on. Hiyocchi and Ayacchi cried the most during the concert. The Come With Me! performance wasn't as good as Let's Go! I think it's because of the beat. Overall, the concert was great, despite lacking the "oomph" factor. I noticed that Hiyocchi's got quite a lot of fans among the audience. I always hear people shouting "Hikasa!" or "Hiyocchi!" Asakawa Yuu bullied Hiyocchi again. HAHA. Hiyocchi was eager seeing Asakawa on stage, she shouted "Asakawa-san!" but Asakawa just told her off when Hiyocchi stepped forward. And I just HAVE to post this one. It was so funny. Hiyocchi doesn't know what the headset's called. lol

WTH?! I can't believe they are starting to shut down manga sites. Oh well. It is actually expected.;( But then again. why... They are also starting to suspend the sites of scanlators. Waahhh. And when every manga is getting interesting this thing happens. Arg. Well. If they just have all the mangas I read licensed then I'll definitely buy them. But then they don't so.. Anyway.

Ef: A Tale of Memories

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:17:28 -0800

Renji:(voiceover)I have always thought this way... that there would be an occurrence which would make me special... that one day I will find that I possess a talent. Since a long time ago, one thing I had in mind was being a KNIGHT and protecting the PRINCESSfrom misfortunes. But... I guess it's too late to become one now. Chihiro:I want to break up while I can still say I LOVE YOU.

Toradora!

Ryuuji and Taiga:There is something in this world that no one has ever seen before. It is gentle and sweet. Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That is why the world hid it, so that no one could get their hands on it so easily. However, someday, someone will find it. The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it. This is how it's created Taiga:(While at the top of unconscious Ryuuji)Shut up! You're all idiots. Why didn't you notice? Why didn't you save him? That Stupid Bikini won. No one went to... save Ryuuji. Ryuuji is mine! No one touch him!(cries) Taiga:I dreamed that you were a dog. And the dog was my husband. Anyway, it was the worst dream ever. Ryuuji:Taiga! Stop being so selfish! I'm saying this because I'm on your side! It's for your sake! Do you know who that is? He's your father! He came to get you! You should at least listen to what he has to say! Didn't you cry after you got abandoned? Be honest with yourself! You actually want to go back, don't you?! Did you really treat him like a piece of trash? My father will never some back no matter how much I wish for it! Ryuuji:(voiceover)Thanks to the praise from everyone, she...No, that's not it! Isn't she alone? (starts to walk towards the stage) I have to go. I absolutely have to go. Perhaps it won't work, but... (starts running) even if that's the case- Ryuuji:(voiceover)(Ryuuji joins the race to be with Taiga who won the beauty contest)I have to... get back to Taiga's side! (after getting pushed down on the ground) How can I... lose to them! That's right, I! I have my reasons. I absolutely will.. never lose! Taiga:(voiceover)Ryuuji... Minorin... You guys don't have to worry about me, you know. You can see, can't you? Even if I'm all by myself, I can stand up again. That's why... It's all right... you don't have to worry about me. It's all right... I can stand up again all by myself. Even if I'm all alone... I will survive. Minori:Crying is a nosebleed of the heart. If you trip while running down a hallway, you'll get a nosebleed. If you trip in life, you'll cry. Taiga:Well, I'd better get back to my seat. The unmarried woman with her unmarried face is about to come to start the unmarried homeroom. AMi:Stupidity is contagious, you know Sumire:Walking forward like an idiot is what they call clumsy. Kitamura needs to learn how to live his life wisely. Taiga:(voiceover)(confronts Sumire in her classroom)Am I doing something wrong? I don't understand who's wrong and who isn't. All I know is... I can't stop moving forward! Taiga:You're a fucking coward! You're just afraid you'll hurt others or you'll get hurt. Because of your cowardice and foulness, you hurt Kitamura-kun! Unforgivable. I'll never forgive you! Sumire:If I could be an idiot like you, I would! I also want to be an idiot who only knows how to dash forward! If I say I like him, he'll follow me, won't he?! If he knew I wanted him to follow me, he'd do it, wouldn't he?! He's the type of person who would sacrifice anything for it! That's why... That's why I can't be an idiot! Ami:Are your feelings of guilt gone? Taiga:(voiceover)I was always relying on Ryuuji on his kindness... but those times have passed. Minorin will definitely fall for Ryuuji, and Ryuuji really likes Minorin. In other words, they both like each other. Then I won't be able to stay by Ryuuji's side anymore. I won't be able to walk by his side. The one beside Ryuuji won't be me. I don't... want that. (runs after Ryuuji)RYUUJI!!!!!!(cries) Ryuuji:(voiceover)(looking for Taiga in the middle of a blizzard)That clumsy girl... I'll never let go of you when I catch you this time! Taiga:(barely conscious, thinking that Ryuuji is Kitamura)It hurts... I fell down. It hurts... Ryuuji? Kitamura-kun? I thought you were Ryuuji. Ryuuji would definitely save me at a time like this. Sorry... I'm Sorry... Kitamura-kun, you know, the God of Broken Heart's blessing didn't work. My wish didn't come true. Please take these feelings away from me... make me stronger. I'm no good right now... No matter what I do, I can't stop... loving Ryuuji. Ami:I wanted to be with you guys tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow... I watched Taiga get hurt and understood her pain. I thought that, since I understood her, I'd save her if no one else did, or something like that... Now I realize that everything will sort itself out even if I left. Minori:Taiga! You're glad that no one heard it because that solves everything, right?! Takasu-kun was the one who saved you, but he just didn't tell you! He didn't tell you because of what you said, right?! Why, Taiga? Why can't you just be honest for once?! Look here, Taiga! Look at me! What do you see me as? Didn't you say you like me? Then believe in me!Taiga, I believe in you. i don't think you're the kind of person who blame others for your inability to go after what you want! Or are you someone like that?! Taiga:That's not it... I just want you to be happy... I just want the Minorin I love to be happy... Minori:Cut it out! My happiness can only be... can only be made with my own hands! My happiness doesn't depend on anyone but me! Ami:Regardless how strong of a will she has, she broke down after being dumped by both Taiga and Takasu-kun. Taiga:(voiceover)Ryuuji, I never had someone to depend on me. But running away won't solve anything. I would not have anything for me, but Ryuuji said he loves me. So, I'm not running anymore. I'll go home and solve everything... Ryuuji:(voiceover)Since ancient times, the DRAGON has been the only beast to equal the TIGER. Even if you're not by my side right now, I will leap through space and time and always be by your side. These feelings will never change Ending (voiceover): Ryuuji:(Ryuuji sees Taiga in their classroom)Everyone has something that they have not seen before in this world... Taiga:It is something good and sweet... Ryuuj:(Runs towards the classroom)If they saw it, everyone would probably want it... Taiga:That is why the world hid it... Ryuuji:So that no one could get their hands on it so easily.. Taiga:However, someday, someone will find it. (Ryuuji cannot find Taiga in the classroom) Ryuuji:(opens a small locker and finds Taiga)The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it.
