AKB48 Team K member Itano Tomomi has announced that she will be releasing a solo single on January 26th. She will be the first member to debut solo among the AKB48 members.

Space Battleship Yamato


I’m a sucker for space operas, and Space Battleship Yamato, (SPACE BATTLESHIP ヤマト) a live action adaptation of the classic Space Battleship Yamato (Uchū Senkan Yamato or Star Blazers for the whitewashed version) anime series fits in perfectly. The movie was released last week (December 1st) and Im pretty sure a lot of oldies watched this in the cinemas since then. Gar SMAP member Kimura Takuya stars as Susumu Kodai paired up with leading lady Kuroki Meisa as Yuki Mori.

Trailer after the break. Hadō hō Hassha! Splurt!

Figure Series Vol. 1: Alter Akiyama Mio

Akiyama Mio

Featured Figure: Alter 1/8 Akiyama Mio School Festival

This set is a special request by my kowaigood friend Bay Hans. Since I like doing this anyway(taking pictures of scale figures and such), hopefully I can manage to do this at least once a month. This will be the first among many figure series posts.

More of the set after the break. Enjoy Bay Hans.

Warm Brownie Cup: The Next

What could possibly trump a serving of Triple Chocolate Warm Brownie Cup? The above picture says it all: Warm Brownie Cup with Pocky. Gochisōsama! Currently testing out 2 post processing workflows, the “old photo” above and a B&W shot of raepmanRei after the break.

Pocky Invasion!


Anata mo watashi no pocky! All your pocky are belong to me! Bought these from our favorite “feeling ko nasa abroad supermarket ako amirite?” warehouse. Sorry Hans, by the time you read this, hurot na.

LOL

Beginner… is dat chu?

LOL! I fold. A Mexican group called “Las Famosas Inalcanzables (means “The Whorrid Wannabees” in Spanish) recently released and performed a particularly abysmal rendition of a certain single. They call their supposedly claimed musicnoise adaptation “Champu Para Tus Ojos” (Shampoo For Your Eyes in Spanish).

It burns. I’ll be needing moar than shampoo to clean the visual stench left on my eyes. Facepalm video after the break.
