良いお年を :)

This is the last day of 2014 and perhaps a little quiet self reflection is in order. It's been a busy and tiring year and not one that didn't come with its own share of problems. It was actually a pretty tumultuous year at work and the first half of the year was particularly difficult. Thankfully, workwise, the year ended kind of okay. I am certain the coming year will come with other challengers at work and I am hopeful that I will be able to handle them...hopefully better than I handled them this year. :)

Funnily enough, I actually wrote the most number of posts this year than I have ever written in a single year. :) Who would have thought that I would have been able to do that given that I didn't travel out of the country this year. I tend to write more when I travel.

Merry Christmas Everyone! And a little anisong themed video fr. Aniplus :)

Post by ANIPLUS HD Network.

Here's a little Merry Christmas video from Aniplus HD. :)  One of my favourites, angela, is in there too!! And there's Kitamura Eri whom I completely approve of once I found out that she likes metal music too. :P

Back to work... so hard to work during the hols. :P

My obsessions in one video. :P

Apparently Google does these year in pictures type things too.  I thought it was only Facebook.  Well, this video summarises quite well all my obsessions.  LOL!!

Well, I need to get some work done.  Procrastinated all day. *sweat

For now... Merry Christmas to all who drop by and check out my blog. :)  Have a good Christmas and a great 2015. :)

cheers :)

Edit:
hmmmm...you may need a google+ account to view that video, i think. Well...while i dont think anyone else besides me is really that interested in it...still...i thought i would download it from google+ and upload it into youtube, if not it feels kind of incomplete. :)

Ninomiya Ai tweets about Kalafina on Utage!

I am mobile blogging from my phone right now. Will be on the move quite a bit today so will not be able to try and hunt last night's Utage! episode down.

According to Ninomiya Ai, who sang a cover of Frozen's Let it Go, Kalafina sang that song together with her? (TBH I don't really have time to check if that is her official twitter account...will do that when I can. :) )

Scandal back in Singapore in 2015 :)

Post by SCANDAL (スキャンダル）.

Scandal added three more countries to their world tour on the 5th Dec but I was so busy with AFA2014 that I missed the announce.  I saw them live at SCAPE once in March 2013 and it was fun. :)  I would like to go again. :)  Need to put even more money aside now because I would also like to go to AAA's live in Singapore and they are coming on the 4th April next year.

It looks like it's going to be a busy half of the year in 2015 for us J-music lovers in SG. :)  The Lantis Matsuri will be in SG on the 28th Mar and I already have tickets to that.  Then there's AAA in April.  :)  And Scandal will start their world tour in Jan next year, so it's likely that the SG leg will be in the first half of the year.  So far it looks like it'll probably be in May but it's still TBA for now.

Okay.... now I really need to knuckle down and get a ton of work done. :P

Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol.11 elemental Tour 2014 ~ FictionJunction DVD tokuten pictures

You probably can tell that I've been kind of busy lately.  This will probably continue for a while. :(

But I thought I'll post this up anyway since it's really short. :)

My friend in Japan has received the FictionJunction DVD tokuten that I asked her to help me mail away for. :)  It was a little troublesome and we had to deal with some hiccups but in the end it all worked out well.

I asked her if she'll kindly shoot a photo of it and she shot three.  Obviously, I haven't seen it since it's still in Japan.  I also didn't want to trouble her, so there are no photos of the DVD itself.  I won't be able to pick this up from her till February next year  :(  For now, I will have to be content with three photos of it, one of which is actually a photo of the envelope it came in. :P

Kalafina & Kajiura Yuki ~ more live goods listed on CDJapan & Animate Christmas Fair

First, let me just start of with posting this picture of the Kalafina Christmas postcard that Animate will be giving out in Japan for those who purchase any Kalafina item in their store from the 17th to the 25th Dec.  This is part of their Animate Christmas Fair promotion.  Well, it's unlikely that I will be able to get this postcard. :(  So I'll just gaze at this image longingly. :P

Also, CDJapan quite a few live goods items for both Kajiura Yuki and Kalafina.  This is awesome news for international fans since CDJapan is very international fan friendly. :)
