I love Zunko, but she seemed a little shy as top star off the stage. I love her as an OG. She's still so friggin gorgeous and that voice. いいじゃないの幸せならば. It's not *quite* as smooth as the original (who seems to have been a real-life otokoyaku ^^;), but, mmmm, yes please. Whatever this is, it's re-airing 3/7 for anyone lucky enough to get NHK.

sumirepanther made a post way back detailing retirement dates with last-appearance-on-calendar dates. Now that we've gotten more retirement info, it's interesting to see how they match up ( Read more... )

I'm watching some random "Gaikokujin have bad manners" program on Fuji TV, and part of me is a little irked, but mostly it's just, Oh silly Japan, I have better issues to get ticked off at.

This portion of the show did make me twitch, though:
( Let's play Identify the Chuugokujin! )

Uhm. Who? And she's a freakin' otokoyaku? Grr, Hankyu.

Equally frustrating was logging into LJ and seeing the umpteen OMGWTFBBQNOWAI!!! posts but most of them not saying what the hell was going on . X(

Or maybe they forgot to tell us the title was Elisabeth - Women in Tights.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Kazune Miou finally has her own Dinner Show Salon Concert! But it's a whole year from now - 12/24-25. I'm hopeful this means she's been booked to do something and will be so busy they had to do a Christmas concert. Oops, it's in February. That's pretty soon-ish. And maybe Kanami'll go over with a whole bunch of Soragumi people like they did for her ( Read more... )

Whoops, I skipped a day. But I was busy being happy:

- Hanging out with the family in the kitchen making yummy foods.

- My garlic-spam rice turned out decently.

- Wii-ing with old friends.

- And? Asako's Box set clip is up.
