Yes, I’ve fallen a bit too deep. No way turning back. *sighs*
I guess I’m writing my experience with arguably-the-most-popular-current-idol-group-in-Japan, which is AKB48. What a good way to end year 2011. *warning: heavily infused with pics*

Random Acapella
Just finished my final exam today so I recorded few acapellas of AKB48′s songs (random me is random).
inspired by this post and I guess I have been through a lot within this Kalafina fandom so… Just for fun XD
Some suggestions are given by wintersviolet :3
- The Yuki Kajiura fans: “I only like them cuz I love Yuki Kajiura. If it weren’t for Kajiura… WHO CARES”
- The fave member-tard fans: “I like A, you? WUT YOU LIKE B? I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS, YOU SUCK.”
- The Maya-tard fans: “Why must you leave, Maya, comeback~~~ ;A;” or “GIMME BACK MY MAYA!!!!”
- The Kalafina-is-flawless fans: “Kalafina can never do anything wrong cuz THEY’RE FLAWLESS GODDESSES”
- The all-about-critics fans: “this single lacks of creativity, so boring. that single is so repetitive, not interesting. etc etc”
- The idol-worshipper fans: “OMG THEY’RE SO CUTE, THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE VERY INTERESTING, TOO. Their music? Well, okay, I guess.”
- The music-elitist fans: “I only listen to their music. Who cares about their faces or personalities”
- The collector fans: “Look at my collection. I have the CDs, DVDs, pamphlet, keychain etc etc etc. Wut? You have none? You suck, dude.”
- The illegal fans: “YO DUDE LOOK AT MAH COMPLETED KALAFINA DOWNLOADS HERE BET YOU CANT DO THAT”
- The purist fans: “Kalafina is Wakana Keiko and Hikaru. No need for other vocalists”
- The we-need-balancing fans: “Ah new Kalafina pics. WUT KEIKO AGAIN? GTFO GIVE WAKANA AND HIKARU MORE ROOMS” or “AH new Kalafina song. WTF WAKANA/HIKARU AS LEAD AGAIN, EFF, GIVE KEIKO MORE LEAD”
- The old-school fans: “Kalafina new songs suck. GIMME BACK MY OBLIVIOUS AND SPRINTER”
- The live-recording fans: “Kalafina songs have to be enjoyed live indeed. It’s 9999999 times better”
- The studio-recording fans: “Bah, they can’t sing live. Who cares about their live, studio-recording FTW”
- The Madoka Magica fans: “HOOOOAAA MADOKA MAGICA IS GOD-LEVEL ANIME AND SO IS EVERY THING IN THE ANIME INCLUDING KALAFINA’S MAGIA”
- The anime fans: watch anime (ex: kuroshitsuji) ==> hear kalafina music ==> fall in love
- The lolita-fashion fans: “CORSETS! POOFY DRESSES! ATELIER PIERROT! I’M in LOVE”
- The I-love-musician fans: “oh kalafina voices are nice, but OMG VIOLIN HERE GORGEOUS ELECTRIC GUITAR AWESOME”
I think these are all winter and I can think of for now. Please remember that this is created only for fun. XD
Of course, you can add your suggestion on the reply too!!

AKB Ranker
Cuz I’m so bored and I’ve been into AKB48 for these few months without any particular ranking XD
The application used: http://akbranker.ooo48.net/
Starting from the Top 3:
You should watch the trailer below to understand part of what I’m going to say.
First, because it’s from Fate series. Do I have to explain the epicness of FSN? I have yet to play the game (going to do it soon) but I’d read spoilers (I don’t really mind spoilers haha) so… YEAH!!
And then… Staff. The staffs (or their works) are mostly my favorite. On music we have Yuki Kajiura (which I don’t need to explain how much I trust her, especially after watching the trailer). Gen Urobuchi a.k.a. Trollrobuchi on storywriter (previously worked on Madoka Magica, which has become… cult favorite, and mine, too)… I’M READY FOR EVERY ANGSTY MOMENT POSSIBLE. Ei Aoki on the 1st Kara no Kyoukai, which is of course my favorite out of all seven movies (eight if including the epilogue). And… ufotable. I love their quality animation on Kara no Kyoukai and the trailer seems promising, to the point it looks a bit like a movie anime trailer instead of TV anime trailer lol.
On separate notes, I got serious goosebumps when I listened to the BGM of the trailer the first time. Much darker and more intense than Kajiura’s works up till now. I was shivering and nearly fell into tears (due to being terrified) when I heard it. And I still shiver everytime I listen to it now. This is… MADNESS. O_O
My Prediction:
Fate/Zero will be the best anime in 2011 after Puella Magi Madoka Magica ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

Talking about birthday…
A very belated birthday blog post for myself, indeed. Not that I usually celebrate it and receive birthday presents either way, haha.
Tadaa~~!! Magia Limited Edition plus postcard type-D
Might probably be my best birthday present ever… coming from myself. *facepalm* Actually, it had arrived weeks ago but I only retrieved it from my aunt (I sent it there for some convenient reason) on March 5 (1 day before my birthday). I did wish it to be arrived or retrieved near my birthday but I’d never thought it would become reality lol.
And yeah, talking about birthday. To me, birthday celebrated every year means celebrating the decreasing time of your life. Indeed, it adds number to your age, but at the same time, your time in this earth has also been lessened. Who knows what will happen tomorrow…
PS. Time to save some money and plan a runaway-from-home-and-go-to-Japan lol. 8D *is whacked*
PS #2. Thanks to those who have greeted me with birthday message on facebook, twitter and plurk and forums… anywhere. I’ll appreciate it more if you send me 1 US Dollar each next year HAHAHAHAHA. *is massively bricked* Okay, that’s J/K.
So many releases on February 2011. Not that I’ve checked all of them but here I present my favorites in no particular order.
