Here are the covers of Tsubasa #28, taken from Kodansha's website (normal edition, deluxe edition):


No Fei Wang in the last Deluxe cover? O.O *SHOCK!*

Also, I think this is the first time that both covers feature the same situation (Syaoran's costume is the same in both covers).

Both editions of Tsubasa #28 go on sale November 17, along with the series' 2nd Artbook (its cover hasn't been announced yet).

Thanks for all of your suggestions on tv shows, guys!! I haven't even finished reading all of the comments, but I will definitely get through them!! Lots of good suggestions in there! ^-^

But.... BIG NEWS!!!!! I GOT MY NEW VISA TODAY!!!! It was kind of a struggle and I had to go over and over to this government institution or that office over the last two months, and get this form from the city office or that thing from Sensei or wait for this receipt or that proof-of-something. Only to have an immigration officer give me the most dubious look in the world a few days ago and talk to me in a tone of voice that said, "You are crazy, this visa is never going to fly." But it did!!!!!! I got the notice that I was approved today and changed all of my plans immediately and spent the rest of the day picking it up and taking care of other legal things! I'm now all set for the next three years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *throws a party* I really, really am considering digging into my savings to buy an ipod touch (in celebration). Or not. BUT I AM HAPPY!!!! *dances*

So, while I was in the immigration office I went to the convenience store downstairs and saw some cute things.. I was wondering, is anyone interested in random pictures of things like this? Truth be told, convenience stores ('conbini') are huge parts of life in Japan. At least, life in the city. Without them, I think that a lot of people would die for lack of food, bandages, or even shampoo. Funny because I never went to a convenience store in the states unless it was to get gas for my car (they don't have gas at conbinis here) or slurpees or those delicious do-it-yourself nachos (also not here)!

(I should be sleeping because I need to get up early tomorrow, but I am totally watching the Star Trek movie because it just came out on DVD in Japan today... couldn't help myself and had to buy it!!!! And who knew my DVD player was region-free! Not me!! =D)

Sorry, I'm only translating out the ones I'm interested in, to give you an idea, basically only the MAIN MAIN seiyuu of each work will show up~

●ジャンプフェスタ2010(JUMP FESTA 2010)

( ask if you wonder which particular seiyuu will show up but you can't read Japanese )

My free time made me do it!  (I'm talking to you, doxxed_up !)XD

YASUMOTO HIROKI!

Ok I'm mexican. He plays the mexican guy in BLEACH. He is soooo sexy.
Enjoy the icons, you don't need to give credit, I found the images swimming on Google Japan and doxxed_up sent me the Kuroshitsuji screencaps.





I made them using PhotoScape, Ulead Photo Express 3.0 and Paint. And there is a Sugita san image too! XD

I'm just wondering, but... what current TV shows am I missing that are just too awesome to pass up? Any recommendations? There is a lot of TV that I follow, so I might be watching it alread/have seen it already, but let me know what you all like! ^^ ( Stuff I like right now.. )

I still have to get back in the habit of taking pictures!! I guess that it comes with being tired all of the time, that I just don't have the energy to find my camera. Maybe I should start putting it into the front pocket of my bag!! But I do have a few pictures to share!! ^__^

Yesterday, after I finished the very last of the MUSTDO errands during this time off (and this means that I'm niow officially on vacation for a few days!), I went over to Ikebukuro. There is a new electronics store that just opened, and I heard that they had sales on everything, so I thought that I might go and pick up the new Ipod touch.. Despite that I want apple to just stop making computers, I actually am really interested in this product ^^;;; But while the signs said SALE SALE SALE!, the prices were actually the manufacturers suggested prices. The same prices that everyone has.. (aka 30,000 yen for a 32gb) How is that a sale, exactly? They did say that they would match anyone else's prices, but I checked and can't find it for any cheaper anywhere else. Sad. T-T But I just don't want to pay that much.. it's the principle of the thing. And who doesn't like a good deal? ^^ (not to mention that I don't actually need one) So anyways....!

After that I met up with Aloni and Michele and went to the prison-themed restaurant, The Lockup! (http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g528911/)

Maybe it's because they redid the interior recently (It does resemble a giant prison, but you don't get handcuffed or anything), but I wasn't overly impressed... It was kind of barren (not that it's a bad thing to have less people in a restaurant.. that means we only had to deal with 20% death-by-secondhand-smoke). But it wasn't all that I was expecting, really. I might head to the one in Shibuya sometime to see if it's any better!

( A few pictures.... sorry it was dark so not too many! )

Ahhh, today I mainly slept and ate. I'm not sure what happened! And now it's 2am and I can't sleep. I suppose that I will read a little bit of Fushigi Yuugi and try to go to sleep. I really want to have a few productive last days before work starts again!! So I'd better rest up!!

PS: If anyone knows of any Ipod touch sales in Tokyo, let me know! I'm thinking a 32gb for ￥25,000 or less, or a 64gb for ￥30,000 or less ^^ Also if you know of any place to get a new Nintendo DS for less than ￥ん12,000 let me know too! ^^ Online is okay, but I'd rather in a real store so that I know for sure what I'm getting!

I got selected to be part of University of Toronto's delegation to Taiwan. O_O !!!!!!!!! So happy. *___________*

Free, all expenses paid trip from the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs ;_______; <3

I think my program director had a huge part of my getting selected. She was on the selection committee and because I'm doing the proposal for Indonesia, she has a really good impression of me. So now, I cannot fuck up in class. I'm doing well so far. :)

YAAAAAAY TAIWANNNNN in December *_* for a weeek~~~~

hiratahiroaki

I noticed that his blog doesn't have a feed, which is a shame, because it (his blog) is always a fun read. (Example: see November 3 post.)
Please add the feed to your friends list!

I was getting set to update, when I realized that I hadn't posted Thanksgiving pictures yet!! It's not yet Thanksgiving for me (yay America?), but it is for my Canadian friends (or it was), so we got together last month and had a big homemade dinner at Adele's house!

It was a big ball of fun, and so great being able to kick back and hang out with people (and meet all sorts of new fun people, too!!). Not to mention, food!! =D My favorite!!! ^___________^

Anyways, I'll just share a few pictures and let that tell any story (such as there is).

( Read more... )

It was an interesting night... populated by The Bulge (Adele's pear pie), Bobby Helen (our turkey-stand-in), and cranberry boobs (I might have had a hand in that..), among other things!

Oh, the memories.. I hope that I can make it to the American version next month! It depends on work and other stuffs, of course... ^^

Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that the deadline for my project to give fan letters/art/presents/G00 DVDs to Kamiya Hiroshi is fast approaching. I need everything in by November 22nd. I've already sent a message to all of you who've expressed interest in participating.

To find out details abut this project and to participate, please go here. Thanks!

Before I realized it's already November and it's only a month away before Christmas.
When I thought about it this morning, I got a fun idea for torturing myself this year.

And so, here's the plan:

1. Comment with a character(s)/pairing, and don't forget to mention the series too. (If I never mentioned about the series in my LJ, kindly give me some links for reference of the said character/pairing). A prompt -which go along with Christmas of course- would be lovely too.
2. PM me your mail address.
3. I'll draw a Christmas Card from your request.
4. Depends on how many requests there are (and how many of them I could finish), I'll make a lottery on who's getting what.
5. I'll send you a surprise card (from the lottery), and the card you requested! :D


Seeing that I got around a month to do this, I plan to make sure I finish the first five request then go along with the sixth, seventh, and so on depend on how much time left I got before sending the cards away. So, for those whom I didn't make cards from the requests will still get at least a quick sketchie along with their cards. Means everyone will get two pics anyway ^o^

I would still be hard to find on LJ, so I think this is the least I could do for this Christmas :)

Many of all this came from the seiyuu_scans comm, so please give them credit if you decide to use them. You don't need to give me credit.
I wanted to make many many diferent seiyuu icons and at the end I was NOT Hiroki-centric so... I hope you like them. Next time I promise lots of STA*MEN icons and so on XD

  

( I have this problem with cute seiyuu... )

Hiroki Takahashi, Junichi Suwabe, Kenichi Suzumura, Tomokazu Seki, Takahiro Sakurai, Masakazu Morita, Jun Fukuyama and Daisuke Kishio.

(I made them using PhotoScape, Ulead Photo Express 3.0 and Paint/// also, the letters in a couple of icons-Jun and Hiroki's- are poems: from the french artist Arthur Rimbaud).

I finished the stupid bibliography! 12 sources, 8 pages of annotated text. I hope this is enough. e_e I will add more for the real paper but it's only a 15 pager too. Come on A- or B+! D:

So far, I'm getting pretty okay grades in my classes, except for the 200 series one. LAWL Those reading quizzes kill me. But uh I will write a killer paper and make my TA all impressed...later. The problem is I don't have enough time to read the readings with effort because 1) they're super detailed historical essays WHICH ARE SO BORING AND NOT TO THE POINT 2) did I mention they're boring and not to the point? unlike polisci readings... 3) I spend too much time on my other readings for SEMINARS ;_______; which actually matter.

Actually I haven't read for today's seminar because I was too busy working on the biblio and reading up on Taiwanese nationalism.

I'm super addicted to Epik High's song "One". SO GOOD. >_< I checked out their other songs and so far so good.

Last night's ACG event was pretty nice. :D Gooood food but too much like the office for me... with the video games. o_o But I got to hit on Lulu a bit, which is always awesome. The guy though is so difficult to talk to. Flirting with girls is more fun, tbh. Boys are pretty boring, well the type I usually go for. lawl But I have no issue talking with my guy friends. Isn't it sad, Hallelujah. :( Oh but yesterday, I went as a tsundere maid. LOL I had the twin tails, Absolute Territory, and an apron. :3 I eventually took those off but because I was in a girly outfit, MY BROS ABANDONED ME. DX They said I'm not a bro when I'm in my girly clothing. *cry*

I'm going to ragequit my laptop soon. e_e I'm hoping to get a netbook for Christmas because this POS is waaaay too slow. Thankfully I have a good desktop right now. :)
