| 10:15pm | The real Sharon Apple |  | | | The raise of artificial entertainment characters is an idea so obvious that even Hollywood took a stab at it (fortunately, I forgot the title of that movie). However, why stop at what already is? Enhance the entertainers! This actually happens today, just look at Miku’s impossible hair. I’m... | | |
| 12:33am | I’m my own Oricon |  | | | Interesting dispersion, with counts falling sharply off the top. And the counts are higher than I expected. Obviously, the correlation with the strength of the track is approximate. I’m pretty sure 1st Priority benefited from a proximity to tracks of Stellvia on the playlist, it’s not one... | | |
| 3:24am | IdolM@ster Neko Neko Rank E Doujinshi Translated |  | | | As promised I have translated the next volume of Route 1’s IdolM@ster doujinshi series Neko Neko Rank. It is viewable on the channel here.

| 11:28pm | Neon Genesis Evangelion - Watching It (So You Don’t Have To?) | | | | So, let me come clean: I haven’t seen Neon Genesis Evangelion. Please take your time and laugh at my newfaggotry. Now that you can feel a bit cooler, let me proceed with the excuses. I’ve intended to watch EVA for over a year now but somehow I never got around to actually doing it until... | | |
| 2:58pm | Oh how I hate rejecting the flyers from the cosplay girls in Akiba | | | | So here I am back in Akiba for perhaps the last time. I might come back for a doujinshi convention but I am not all that sure to be honest. I must say that I am enjoying myself so far unlike the previous two times. Traveling is best when done alone, I believe now. Been trying to pick up things I can`t... | | |
| 3:54pm | Well, aren’t I glad I reserved Idolm@ster SP early | | | | So for the past few weeks now I’ve noticed Wonder Goo isn’t providing reservations to buy all three Idolm@ster SP games. Obviously they wouldn’t since they only have enough goodies to give to a certain amount of people. That never really crossed my mind either. Haha. So, I’m... | | |
| 3:54pm | Harvest Moon combining the best of two genres | | | | When I was a kid, I was greatly attracted to such simulation games like those released by Maxis in particular come to mind first. Later I moved on to other things like date simulation games and more recently Idolm@ster. Japan, as a whole, seems to prefer these simulation games more than any kind of... | | |
| 7:15am | IdolM@ster Neko Neko Rank F Yuri Doujinshi Translated |  | | | This week I have translated a yuri-themed IdolM@ster doujinshi, featuring Miki and Makoto. It can be read on the Channel here. The Neko Neko Rank series also has additional volumes. I have E and D in my possession and will probably translate them at a later date. If anyone has those beyond, please... | | |

| 12:54pm | My love for Japanese is relative to how much I love anime among other things | | | | I am tired as I write this entry. This is so typical of people who like anime and study Japanese but oh well this has been on my mind in the past few days. To recap I have been in Japan for about six months now, and last semester a lot of my lack of liking Japanese came from the fact I was having... | | |
| 2:47pm | New Idolm@ster SP details - But I figured this would be playable too | | | | Well, some new Idolm@ster SP details have been coming out. In the recent Dengeki Playstation magazine, which had a ton of awesome coverage on some other upcoming PSP games like Harvest Moon, it has been revealed that there is going to be this office mode where you can also call the idols from 961... | | |
| 9:14pm | Goals for the 2009 Year | | | | First day of school started for me today and it looks like Japanese and various science classes will be keeping me as busy as ever this semester so I decided to write about what I want to accomplish so that I will not forget as the year progresses. Since things will only get more hectic from now on... | | |
| 4:10pm | The H doujin I read this week: Limited for You! (THE iDOLM@STER) | | | | Basic Plot: So the Producer wasn’t able to go to Ritsuko’s big fan appreciation party event because he had to go to something else with the company president. So to make up for it he decides to teach Ritsuko a special producer technique his father handed down to him. He starts out by... | | |
