Japan Blog 70 (July 6, 2009) Next Level

Ayumi Hamasaki's song "Next Level" just came on my ipod.

So, today after school I'm going to Akko's house for 2 weeks. My 4th time changing houses. Originally the plan was to be there for a month but Rotary went against it, only letting me stay for 2 weeks. Bummer. Well, I'm kinda happy about that though. 'Cause that way I'll be back in the Tajiri area for summer vacation, closer to my more closer friends. We can ride our bikes to do something if we want, go to the ocean for example. It's amazingly close to where I live right now. Unlike back at the Fukaya's where I took that hour walk just to get there. The ocean is sooo close. I can't wait for the day we do fireworks(^^)

Not much has been happening.
Just the tests, and well, here at home something happened (haha). So, the first day the tests started I came home early. Kayo and Mami were home and they started talking about DDR. They got so curious about it that they went searching for the dance pad, game, and playstation. They found the playstation and dance pad but no games. Real letdown for them. So they thought of going to the Book Market to buy it (the Book Market sells old games, CDs, and books). So we went there but there were no DDR games. I wanted to look for some Sailor Moon mangas while I was there. And I found one! They had volume 6 there! Not much at all but then they also had volume 1 and 2 of the Sailor V manga! So, I grabbed all 3 books. Guess how much for one book? 55 yen! That's like 50 cents people. I wasn't expecting it to be THAT cheap. But in any case, I then suggested this other book/old video game/CD/DVD store that was down the road, Book Off. We went there and we found 3 different DDR games, they bought 2 of them. Came home, and we played DDR. Wow, I really missed it. The only thing that sucks though is that there's only like 8 songs available on each game and the songs aren't that great. But still, DDR.

Then Mami brought out their Nintendo. Not a Nintendo 64, the very first Nintendo. I haven't seen one of those things since I played with one as a kid. Last night I was playing the Bomber Man game with her on it. I suck. Badly. I kept killing myself because I walked too close to my own bombs or I trapped myself next to my own bomb. Then I kept stealing her lives (haha). Actually, her and Okaa-san are downstairs playing it now (they should get some sleep haha). It's veryyyy addicting.

Nocchan got me into another band. I guarantee if any of you look up this band on YouTube or wherever you're going to hate them. When Nocchn gave me the CD I wasn't expecting what I heard. To be honest, even when I first heard it I didn't like it, but it's grown on me now. I guess because I really like screaming in music and they sure do it a lot in this album "Second". The band is called "Midori" and a girl is singing throughout. Their music is hard to describe. It doesn't quite follow a tune most of the time, it becomes heavy punk to then hearing the piano and her screaming tones down or stays high. It's quite insane. You should check out a few songs just to check it out. Quite interesting and they aren't indie, they're major. I like them at least.

Sailor Moon again.
Today I went to Fukushima with Kayo and Okaa-san to pick up the grandmother at the grandfather's house. While in Fukushima we saw a Book Off and me and Kayo wanted to go. I wasn't expecting to find as many Sailor Moon mangas as I did. I bought 10 Sailor Moon mangas today. The only thing was that each book was 105 yen. Not as cheap as the Book Market but still, that's not a regular price, can't complain. I have all the books up to 15 except I don't own 1, 2, 3, or 11 yet. At Book Off I saw a pack of wrapped books. First 30 books of Inuyasha for just 1,300 yen. Mouth dropper. Do you realize how amazingly cheap that is?? I got ripped. 10 books of Sailor Moon for 1,055 yen.

At school Tomoka was telling me how she thinks she has the goblet that Sailor Moon had in the Super series. 4 of them. And if they weren't all icky and stuff she'd give one to me. Exciting, right?(^^) Well, I got a text from her today saying that "she has something she wants to give me tomorrow. But it's BIG, is that okay?" The goblet came in my head but then when I said that she sends back, "there's that but also something else". I'm sooo excited for tomorrow! I wonder what it is^^(haha) I feel like such a little kid. And I must sound like an idiot to a lot of people reading this. Oh well. To be honest, I don't even care about anime anymore. Sailor Moon is like the only anime I'll ever hang onto through my life. I probably won't watch it when I return back since it's been so long since I've watched anime. I've lost my interest.
But seriously, the Sailor Moon manga is such a romance manga. I was surprised to see how much of a romance manga it is and not such as a kid's manga in that sense.The manga makes Mamoru and Usagi look so much closer with each other. They killed the anime by not adding the cute scenes with Mamoru and Usagi. And the anime made Usagi-chan look so weak.

Tuesday I buy the new Perfume CD, Triangle. I listened to "Night Flight" today. I like the song but I just have this really bad feeling that the CD isn't going to be that great. Like, the GAME album will be A LOT better. I'm hoping I'm wrong about that. It's just, 4 of the songs on the album aren't new and there's only 9 songs on the album. In any case, I'll know for sure on Tuesday.

So yeah, 2 weeks until my next blog. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun at Akko's. I told her we need to have a scary movie party and Erina and 2 other Kyuudou friends said they wanted to come over for it. I'm looking forward for it^^ My current Sailor Moon collection^^
