Falling in Love with Touhou Videos Again

mariari

Not feeling like doing much in the day preceding my Thanksgiving holiday I spent a good chunk of time watching Touhou videos yesterday. I haven’t really watched any in quite a while so it reminded me why I love them so much. Below are some of the ones I watched in no particular order.

Beating Tales of Vesperia

vesperia-girls-winner

Since the beginning of the semester several friends and I have been playing our way through the Xbox 360 game Tales of Vesperia. Almost every week we would gather for “Vesperia Friday” and play for several hours until we beat the game two nights ago. Now that we have finally finished I can now reflect on the experience and say that it was a good one. Since plenty of professional and amateur writers have already covered the game in depth I’ll skip over the technical details and focus on my impressions of the main playable cast.

Nekocon 12: Battler’s Field Report

neko_kitties100

For the past 3 days I’ve been missing in action on the internets due to Nekocon 12. After getting tired of not ever going to conventions with my friends I decided this year that I would finally go to one. Though my wallet is aching in the end it was definitely worth the price and time I paid. Get ready for a ridiculously long write up of my Nekocon adventure.

[Lyrics] iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Image Song Dazzling World (M@STER VERSION) [Akizuki Ryo]

dream-symphony-02-booklet

Even though Eri is my favorite idol from Dearly Stars, Ryo’s image song Dazzling World is probably my favorite new song. As the name suggests the song is about an eternal love that illuminates the entire world. I really like the lyrics and the flow of the song and just pretty much everything. Also Ryo looks so cute on the cover that I keep forgetting that she’s a boy…Anyway I hope you enjoy the song:

[Lyrics] To Aru Kagaku no Railgun ED Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai he- [ELISA]

railgun-ed-case-back

Unlike only my railgun Dear My Friend is a much simpler song. However that doesn’t mean I enjoy it any less. It’s such a happy song that I worked on translation in a relaxed manner with a smile. I hope this song brings other “Railgunners” just as many smiles.

[Lyrics] To Aru Kagaku no Railgun OP only my railgun [fripSide]

railgun-op-booklet-cover

I know that the full version of this song has been floating around the internet for a while but I’m happy that the single officially came out today so that I could work on translating it. This song was somewhat tricky to translate but it was definitely worthwhile. After I finished I read through the entire song and Kuroko sounds so cool singing about her Railgun. ED coming up hopefully soon but enjoy this for now.

[Lyrics] iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars Image Song Precog (M@STER VERSION) [Mizutani Eri]

dream-symphony-01-booklet

Since Eri is still currently my favorite iM@S DS idol I felt obligated to translate this song. It’s a nice song about opening up and starting all over again just like how Eri did. I’m planning to work on the other new iM@S songs sometime as well. For now I hope you enjoy Precog (PURIKOGU):

Upgrading to Nana: Getting to Know Windows 7

nanami-smiling

Several days after Windows 7’s launch I have finally got it up and running on my desktop and I’m glad to say that it seems to live up to its hype. It combines the things I like about the two previous iterations of Windows with good updates to keep it from feeling too much like a rehash of Vista. Microsoft seems to have hit a success with a genuinely good product that fixes the issues both inherent and perceived that many people had with Vista.
