I Really Want Yui’s Guitar

Apparently the TBS ishop recently started taking preorders for special guitars based on those of K-ON’s Yui and Mio. The Hirasawa Yui Model Beginner’s Electric Guitar and Akiyama Mio Model Beginner’s Bass sell for 29800 yen each and come with a set of limited edition clear stickers to make the perfect otaku guitar. The guitars …

iDOLM@STER 4th Anniversary Drawing

Like I mentioned before in my previous post I have been slowly working on a new iM@S picture. Technically I’m not even close to done but I decided to finish sketching Haruka and Ai and posting it in honor of the fourth anniversary of the release of the arcade version of iM@S. I really liked …

Playing With Dance×Mixer

In the course of looking for references and ideas for the iDOLM@STER picture that I am currently working on, I somehow found myself on Niconico Douga watching a video featuring iM@S music but with different characters dancing to the music. With the tag “Dance×Mixer” as a guide I did some research and found out that …

Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Fudepen ~Ballpen~

Finally here’s the third new song from the Ho-kago Tea Time CD set. Translaion for this was a little harder that the first two K-ON insert songs and I’ll probably look back at all three sets once I take a break. This is the sixth and last post for the day and I’ll wait until …

Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss

Here’s the second song on K-ON’s Ho-kago Tea Time CD set. Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss is a nice song about a girl who expresses her feelings by writing them down and stapling the sheets together until she can’t anymore. Fudepen ~Ballpen~ will follow in just a bit.

Lyrics: K-ON! Insert Song Curry Nochi Rice

Curry Nochi Rice is probably my favorite of the three new K-ON insert songs on the HO-KAGO Tea Time CD if just for the cuteness of Yui singing about curry. English translation included as always. Lyrics for the other two songs, Watashi no Koi ha Hotchkiss and Fudepen ~Ballpen~, will be ready in just a …

Kanon Final Patch Released

Today non-directional translations released their final patch for Kanon in honor of Key’s anniversary. Although Kanon has been fully playable for a while this patch addresses typos, things that could use explaining and malformed sentences. The patch is compatible with both the standard edition of Kanon (18+) as well as the all ages version. I’ve …

Lyrics: Taishou Yakyuu Musume. OP Romantic Strike

I actually haven’t gotten around to watching Taishou Yakyuu Musume yet but I decided to do these lyrics anyway. I’ll get around to watching it after my schedule clears up. I’ll work on K-ON! Insert songs later but right now I seriously need sleep.

…And Suddenly I Love Akizuki Ryo

While looking for an iDOLM@STER image for my wallpaper I came across a bunch of new pictures featuring Dearly Stars idol Akizuki Ryo in strange situations such as her shaving and being at a pool topless in a pair of swimming trunks. Wondering if there was some new information that became meme fodder within the …
