Kamiya Matsuri, Gurren Lagann Zenyasai, Monochrome Factor Vocal, Macademy Wasshoi! M-O-E-S, Say U event goods

January 21, 2009 at 6:24 PM by Mew

In this entry: Big Kamiya Festival (G Senjou no Neko I & II, VIP 1-3, Live Pastel Collection 2006, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou 1-3, Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 5-7, Hachimitsu to Clover I & II), Gurren Lagann Gekijouban Zenyasai DVD, Monochrome Factor Perfect Vocal Collection, and Macademy Wasshoi! Kazoeuta #4.

I’ve been really diggin’ Kamiya Hiroshi lately so most of this entry will include reviews of things he was in.

G Senjou no Neko I & II
Cast: Morikawa Toshiyuki, Hiyama Nobuyuki x Kamiya Hiroshi

Ikeda (Morikawa) finds a boy passed out at his front door one day. It’s Narukawa Riya (Kamiya), a genius violinist with a split personality. One personality is really fesity and hates the violin while the other is is very timid and is very serious about his violin playing. Kousaka (Hiyama) is Riya’s upperclassman who, while always bullying Riya, obviously has a crush on him.

The series was okay. The story was only a notch better than regular BL stories since this one’s pretty unique, but I didn’t find it particularly outstanding, though some may argue with me.  It may have something to do with the fact that this series is always listed as Morikawa x Kamiya when there’s actually only one short scene with them in the second drama and anything else is pretty much Hiyama x Kamiya. I felt a bit cheated as I was expecting more Morikawa, though of course I like Hiyama too.

The cast is what I liked about this series. Kamiya is SO. GOOD. The way he …

5 drama CDs, sweet pool, AN’S live DVD, Shining Force Feather radio

December 27, 2008 at 12:37 PM by Mew

In this entry: Kodomo no Hitomi, Koi no Kokoro ni Kuroi Hane, Cafe Latte Rhapsody, Sarasara., Dear Girl~Stories~ Hibiki, sweet pool, and AN’S ALL STARS Live Tour 2008 Virgin? ~Welcome to An’s Hospital~, Shining Force Feather ~Force MAX Zenkai Radio~ #1.

Kodomo no Hitomi
Cast: Narita Ken x Kamiya Hiroshi, Yoshino Hiroyuki

The strict elder brother of Misaki (Kamiya), Hitoshi (NariKen) lost his memories in an accident and his mind has reverted back to when he was 6 years old. Jyoutarou (Yoshino) is Misaki’s son.

I was hesitant to listen to this because I personally am not too fond of Narita in BL. As usual, Kamiya was great! Such a talented guy. It was weird hearing Narita sound like a kid and cry all the time. .^^; That part I didn’t enjoy too much. Yoshino was adorable as Jyoutarou, who is supposed to be 5 or 6, I forget, but very young. Overall a good story but I wouldn’t say it’s a favorite of mine.

Koi no Kokoro ni Kuroi Hane
Cast: Mizushima Takahiro x Sugiyama Noriaki, Taniyama Kishou x Hirakawa Daisuke, Takagi Wataru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa x Kakihara Tetsuya, Sugita Tomokazu x Yusa Kouji

I’ll be honest– I don’t remember much of what happened in this. The first story with Sugiyama and Mizushima involved Sugiyama’s chara having a large family (lots of brothers and sisters and he’s the eldest). I don’t remember any of the other stories, sorry. .^^;;;

One thing that stuck in my head was how funny Tatsu’s character was. I remember him just saying “Let’s …

3 BL dramas, BUS GAMER VOCAL FILE, FukuJun bday + blog

November 25, 2008 at 1:28 PM by Mew

In this entry: SASRA 1, Hanayome wa Yoru ni Chiru, Zenryousei Ourinkan Gakuin ~Romanesque~, BUS GAMER VOCAL FILE, and Fukuyama news.

SASRA 1
Cast: Fukuyama Jun, Konishi Katsuyuki, Hatano Wataru x Nojima Kenji, Koyasu Takehito x Yoshino Hiroyuki, Miyata Kouki

Listened to this some time ago. This one was an interesting drama. Basically there was an Egyptian prince Aketo (Hatano) and a religious figure (didn’t catch his position) Seshen (Fukuyama) who were lovers but because of circumstances, Aketo killed his father trying to protect Seshen and the two had to flee the country as a result. The chances of them being caught would be higher if they went together so they split up. Aketo ends up dying and after learning of this, Seshen drowns himself in the Nile.

This series is about Aketo and Seshen’s reincarnations. They get reincarnated in different eras but always meet up and become doomed lovers once again. Aketo’s reincarnation always has a hawk tattoo and Seshen a lotus. In the present, Goshou (Konishi), an antiques dealer, is Aketo and Ren (Fukuyama; Ren is written with the kanji for lotus). Ren hears the sound of a hawk and its wings flapping but doesn’t see it. This hawk has always been with Goshou since he was small. He can’t see it either but he hears it and Ren is the first person he’s ever met who can also hear it. The hawk can indicate when there’s going to be danger and sure enough, the plane they were on on their way …

DCGS Radio #10, Toshokan Sensou Radio Danshi Ryou 1-7

November 23, 2008 at 1:18 PM by Mew

Da Capo ~GS Radio~ #10
Personalities: Suzuki Tatsuhisa, Suzuki Yuuto, Horie Kazuma

Two words: Kazumi chan. X.DDDDDDD For the Kongetsu no Ouji corner, Horie was put in a gothy maid dress. X.D ….I think he looks better in a dress than I do! LoL. Yuuto is so adorable~! And Tatsu… Well, it’s Tatsu. ‘Nuff said. X.D I need to go listen to #2-8 when I have time.

Kantou Toshokichi Houkouka Danshi Ryou 1-7
Personalities: Maeno Tomoaki, Suzuki Tatsuhisa

So I was finally persuaded to go listen to this. I had most of it already but just never got around to listening to it, like most of the other radio I have. .^^;

Wow. This show is sooooo HIGH TENSION. Like, totally. Tatsu is screaming all over the place. X.D Maeno is a year older than Tatsu yet Tatsu is teasing him all the time, LoL. Reminds me of his treatment of Waccha. .^^; A mail from a listener came in and all that was written in it was, “Please don’t tease Maeno” and Tatsu’s response was, “Iya da (don’t wanna [stop]).” LOL!!!! Tatsu is so S! And Maeno is cute. He’s M. X.D M for Maeno, S for Suzuki, haha.

They talk a LOT about girls and relationships in this show and we get to hear lots to juicy info about their personal lives. X.D Someone wrote in asking what do you say to a girl who’s scared and it’s her first time. Tatsu’s answer was, “Don’t worry, I’m wearing a condom.” LOL!!! And apparently he actually …

Tsuki wa Yamiyo ni Kakuru ga Gotoku, Nipponia Nippon, and Saint Beast

November 13, 2008 at 3:59 PM by saimaisama

-yawns-

I don’t think I’ve slept properly for days. I’ve gotta stop falling asleep to Drama CDs. Maybe I should do to bed earlier … anwyays;

神谷浩史 x 宮田幸季
Kamiya Hiroshi x Miyata Kouki

I loved this for tsundere Kamiyan and disliked it for Miyata’s loud voice. MoriMori’s character was the funniest; he was always singing and fooling around. Anyways, I was expecting something serious and imcomprehensible outta this because it had a historical setting. Instead, I got my laughs. Basically, Tetsu (Miyata) wants to kill his father because he’s an ass and goes to Shino who’s known in the rumors as a monster to ask him to become his teacher. Of course, Shino has no intention of taking him in and so starts the story.

There was no karami in this and there isn’t even a clear shot that the pairing is Kamiyan and Miyata. After all, Kamiyan’s chSaaracter Shino seemed to still like MoriMori’s character Hanjuuro. It was a really fun, slice of life type drama … in a not-modern Japan. I don’t have much problems with this type of Old Japanese so I was okay in terms of understanding the circumstances. I’ll admit it’s awkward hearing them say ’seppun’ instead of ‘kisu’ though.

Awesome scenes? Tsundere Shino. Tetsu attempting to kill his Dad and not sounding the least bit treatening. Younger Hanjuurou finding out that 15-year old Shino was a boy.

櫻井孝宏　x　福山潤
Sakurai Takahiro x Fukuyama Jun

Karami-less as well despite the setting that has so many openings for this to go smutty; Nipponia Nippon is …

SSDS Event

November 12, 2008 at 5:33 PM by Nanami

Okay, so the past November 2th it was the SSDS event (actually that
day was also the bus gamer event but..uh I didn’t go though I already
have my ticket :\) and I went to the night event it was so funny XD;
In the time we joined the event room I was like OMFG WTH I want that
Kero frog plushie~! (sorry my obsession with keroppi lol) and so I
went to the bathroom and saw a lot of cosplayers girls (I don’t know
either WHY they was there but I suppose it was the girls who dance in
the event..lol). Anyway so when I got back to the event room my friend
was all like -OMFG where did you go its going to start NOW ><- XD;

In the first part it was like a mini drama (voice only) and I didn’t
realized there was a clock..lol My friend point it me to the clock
anyway. It was counting the minutes for the 6 o’clock XD

So the first one was Hayami Sho singing (yesh I can’t remember what
song was) and my friend said she hated it XD; I don’t know I find
it..um normal (I like Hayami Shou’s singing voice anyway XD) It was so
annoying for her the part where he was singing and his clothes like
flying (and I find that part very cute XD). So after that song each of
them got introduced and then giving the welcome to the new doctor
(Don’t ask me i don’t remember the name).

And after that there was the talk corner, they’re replying answers
from the …

DCGS album, VitaminY, Kuroshitsuji 4, Tatsu fangirling

November 9, 2008 at 7:16 PM by Mew

This’ll be mainly a fangirly Tatsu post. X.D

D.C.Girls Symphony Side Girls Complete Disc

Vocal album for the Da Capo Girls Symphony game. In a word: AWESOME. It includes the game OP theme, each character’s song, and solo versions of the OP theme by the four brothers. I absolutely LOVE Cherry’s Magic & Love. The song is so addictive! Bought this album for Tatsu and Waccha, obviously, but thoroughly enjoyed the entire album. Suzuki Yuuto’s got a cute voice and Horie Kazuma sounds good too. Hirakawa <3 Oosuka’s song was cute too.

This CD is totally worth it so I would recommend everyone to go buy it! And dude, if you use Audacity or some other audio editing program, you can overlap Tatsu and Waccha’s solo of Cherry’s Magic & Love and it’d be like CELL DIVISION! X.D

Not related to the CD, but I watched a video of the game play to Kei’s route and OMG, TSUNDERE! LoL. <3

VitaminY

Started playing this the other week. Haven’t cleared everything yet but I have to say the game is so fun! …Though I admit I skip all the dialogue. They don’t talk during them so yeah. .^^; The first game with Hajime swinging from ropes like Tarzan is hilarious. Ono cracked me up with the Tarzan-esque yells he makes. X.DDD Tsubasa’s game where he woos the girl is funny too. All those sounds he makes. X.D And this other game where you have to find the roses cracks me up cuz he yells “shit!” when you …

Hoshigarimasen! Katsumadewa

November 8, 2008 at 8:16 PM by saimaisama

Domo, Sai-chan desuuuu ~ I love seiyuus. I love BL. I love drama CDs. But that’s obvious considering my existence here, ne? Sooo, even though I’ve got another blog on wordpress for BLCD reviews (and anime episode reviews) I decided to come here anyway … since I don’t have to hold back on the squealing and non-sensical fangirling.

Anyways, I’ve been listening to a lot of drama CDs recently but I’ve been so tired that I fall asleep on most of the ones I give a listen to. Mainly I’m trying to get through all the Saint Beast CDs. I think most know how long a feat that’ll be considering the number of drama the series has got. But hey, I’m loving my tsundere ToriKou dose. I mean, where else can I hear cute tsundere ToriKou? (insert love for Shiva)

Hoshigarimasen! Katsumadewa

1. 岸尾大輔 x 鈴木千尋
Kishio Daisuke x Suzuki Chihiro
2. 成田剣 x 鳥海浩輔
Narita Ken x Toriumi Kousuke

I was going to give this a full review but I’m too lazy to conjure up anything but squealing so that’s why I’m here. Haha. I fell asleep a little bit before the end so I don’t know how it turned out in the end. Suzuki’s character, Hiyori-senpai, was such a awesomely cute character. He’s the first perverted uke I’ve heard in a while. I also loved how something always comes up whenever they’re about to have sex. Like, Hiyori getting a stomach ache for example. Too cute. It was also great to hear NariKen’s …

LOTS of drama CDs

October 31, 2008 at 3:10 PM by Mew

Wah, s’been over a month since the last update! Sorry. School’s been kickin’ my butt. I’ll divide my next reviews by type. This is the drama CD review entry. Heh, I’m not sure I’ll remember everything from each drama. .^^;;

In this entry: Name of Love, Kimi ga Inakerya Iki mo Dekinai, Therapist wa Nemurenai, Rosselini-ke no Musuko Hokakusha, Virgin Star, Love Pheromone, Hidoku Shinai de, Ai Daro, Ai!!, SEXY EFFECT 96, Honto Yajyuu, and Hakuu.

God that’s a lot. Don’t expect too much of an in-depth review though because I listen to too many dramas to remember every little thing in each one. .^^;;
