The result for the popularity poll is out! Seems like Tsuna is the strongest, but second favorite, and Hibari is second strongest but took the 1st place in the favorite character poll. I am actually surprised to see Old Man Kawahira in the list... Anyway, back to the manga... I did not do a review on last week's chapter, but I felt bad when I saw Tsuna fighting his own father... And his father punched him too!!! Tsuna's unconscious for now, but I hope he comes back into the battle. And we finally know who Fon's representative is. It's not unexpected since they look so alike, plus Hibari has never acknowledged himself as part of the Family... I hope Lambo will fight too... It's interesting when he's around. Then Ryohei just charges in and gets his watch destroyed... Very smart of him...But the most surprising part is the end... Skull's curse was removed!!! Maybe if every Arcobaleno says "Present please", they will all get their curse removed? But now we get to see the Arcobalenos in action! Can't wait for it!!! And then as usual, I read Fairy Tail after that, and I was shocked... They are going to have a movie!!! I am really excited for it~~~ But it kinda makes me sad too... Even Fairy Tail has a movie now, but Katekyo Hitman Reborn never had one... I wish they would make one...

Microphone!!!!

My Samson Q2U microphone came!!!! I was so excited when my mom told me that. I literally ran back to the house and opened it without taking off my socks or my jacket first. When I tested it, it was amazing!!!! The quality was a lot better than my previous microphone. After I installed it, my brothers and sisters were taking turns on recording their voices. I was making an Utauloid with my youngest sister's voice with my previous microphone before, and it sounded really bad... but after re-recording her voice using this microphone, it sounded like a real Utauloid~~~ I was so happy~~~ Then I figured I might try recording my singing... Bad choice... I was out of tune, my voice was terrible, everything was wrong with my singing... TT^TT I knew I was a bad singer, but I never knew I was that out of tune... And I was stupid to even think of making covers someday... I don't think I'll ever sing again...

Happy birthday Tsuna!

Happy birthday Tsuna! Well, technically it's not October 14th in Japan anymore... but it's still the 14th here... I need to start remembering all the characters' birthdays... Am I being a little too freakish right now? Oh well...

Anyway, here's a cake! I actually got it from the anime...

So after finishing Ao no Exorcist, I decided to visit Reborn's website to check out for continuation in anime. As usual, there was nothing about it, so I clicked on the Rebocon 5 link and saw a few new links there. One of them was the X monthly project. The title says October is the X monthly project because, well, October is obviously the tenth month and Tsuna's birth month... There was a whole bunch of Japanese words that I couldn't understand so I just briefly read some of it. And then something caught my eye. There was something with an A, which I guess is saying the A prize by the looks of it. But that wasn't what caught my eye. It was the words underneath... This is a rough translation from what I know: "Akira Amano will draw your portrait and the Vongola Family, real signed colored paper" I WANT!!!! I want!!! And then I quickly read how to enter it... I couldn't understand all of it, but apparently you have to collect entry tickets and key words for 3 Vongola Guardians to enter it. Then you have to send in your name, address, age, telephone number etc. Sigh... Why am I not living in Japan?!!! Anyway, I tried looking at how to get the keywords and tickets and each of the guardian has different places to look for them.Some of them are found in Shonen Jump, and some are found in sites. I wonder if I can enter even though I don't live in Japan... I guess not... Plus the keywords are hard to find... Sigh... I really wanted the prize...

Yuni is back! I missed her so much! And then there's Byakuran with his Real 6 Funeral Wreaths... Doesn't Byakuran seem like his personality is really different now? He is still playful but doesn't seem to have any bad intentions now... And he seems to look forward to seeing Tsuna and Irie too. Tsuna is probably going to freak out when he sees him... By the way, I thought Bluebell had short hair... But then in one page I saw she had long hair...Maybe her hair was just blocked by Byakuran in the cover... *flips a few more pages*
Tsuna: "Xa...Xanxus! You came... to Japan...?!" Sigh, Tsuna... You even defeated Byakuran and Daemon Spade... You don't have to be that scared... Although they are really strong... *flips page again* Oooo, we have a new character!! *flips another page* . . . . . . The eyes... The nose... The whole face looks like some character from Doraemon!!! Oh well... He's just a planner... I guess it fits well... since he is just an extra character... It would be disappointing if the enemy (or big boss) looks like some sort of comical character in any manga... *flips to the last page* Oooo! Another event? I can't really read what it says but I think I get an idea of what it is... The event is called Rebo-T on Oct 15 and 16, and it seems like the T-shirts are designed by the seiyuu... They say this time the Primo Familia is participating, and on the seiyuu list there are Tsuna's seiyuu, Gokudera's, G's, Rokudo Mukuro's, Ryohei/Knuckle's and Daemon Spade's. It seems like Primo's seiyuu is not attending the event... Too bad... I wonder if they are selling T-shirts that they designed? I really want one~~~ No, I want all of them~~~ But I don't live in Japan... Sigh...
Anyway, I read the new chapter of Fairy Tail today... When Natsu and everyone went back to help their master, I was like "Yay! The master won't die now!" Then after a few pages, everyone was joining hands to defend themselves from the dragon breath. I expected it to be like "The strong bond between Fairy Tail members save the day again!" So I waited for it... *flips one page*...*another page*... The island is gone... Well they will maybe swim up later... "The surrounding waters were searched and investigated for half a year afterwards... but no survivors were found." Eh? "And now... Seven years have passed" *with a new young boy staring out the ocean* EEEEEEH?!!!!! FOR REAL?! No survivors, and a time skip too?!!! Well I seriously doubt that they will all die, but a time skip is a bit... too fast? I mean if you skip it to 7 years later, Lucy will be 24 years old when she comes back... Unless they all get frozen in time and don't age at all... And they didn't explain how Zeref is related with Natsu! This is really not what I expected... But I guess that's what make me look forward to the next chapter... I mean, they can't just switch main characters like that! I am sure they'll be back! Somehow!

KHR chapter 354

So... For this chapter we started off with Mukuro and Verde... I must say that they are similar to each other. They do not want to partner up with each other but because they can reach their goals by doing so, they ended up partnering up... The thing that surprised me was a picture of Mukuro with a mic... It's kinda funny how the picture of him singing is used for representing his charisma...And then the two of them just go separate ways after they were done with each other, haha...Then Tsuna asked a question that I have been wondering for a while. I mean since Mukuro is back now, he doesn't need to put Chrome in Tsuna's care. Then came the answer: "I detest the current Chrome." . . . . . .asdfkweorqjjfkewjrkfjkeriofkdjw9@jleioqkj! What are you saying Mukuro?! You are going to abandon Chrome because you are done using her as your vessel?! How heartless can you get?! I seriously felt like stepping on his face when he said that! And then...*scroll scroll* Mukuro: "Please, take good care of her." Oh, I got angry for nothing... He does care about her... ahahaha.... After that the story goes onto the CEDEF part... I was sort of relieved when Lal said that she's the one going to fight instead of Iemitsu... Then Colonello is shown talking to Iemitsu about how he wants to remove Lal's curse secretly. How sweet... But it still bothers me a bit... Iemitsu is in charge of CEDEF after all... Well, we'll see how it goes. *flip to next page, scroll down* Byakuran! So he is involved after all! I thought Fon was going to ask him, but surprisingly, it turned out to be the Sky Arcobaleno. I guess they just can't leave the Sky Arcobaleno out, can they? But the ten-years-younger Byakuran and Real Six Funeral Wreaths look really different... Well in Byakuran's case, he doesn't change much except for his clothing. I would never expect him to wear such punky(is this even a word?) clothing... But the others were really different... Bluebell with short hair is actually pretty cute~ Kikyo doesn't has his hair tied up; Daisy and Torikabuto looks pretty much the same; and Zakuro doesn't have a half-shaved face. Yuni showed up after that and Byakuran turned out to be partnering up with Yuni. I thought it would be Aria since it's not 10 years in the future but I guessed it wrong... I wonder where she came out from though. Gamma and the others said they couldn't find Yuni, then she just suddenly pops out. Anyway, it will be getting more interesting now. I still wonder who would be Fon representative. Hibari maybe?

I am sure Sony Music Japan hates me!!! My AMV is removed, AGAIN! Maybe they really do hate me... Most of those AMV makers out there don't get two strikes in a row... And I thought I was able to escape with the "fair use" statement, which many people used and got away with it... Why do they hate me so much??!!! I've only made 2 AMVs and they caught and removed both of them! Is it because I have really bad luck? Fine... I give up... I am not making any AMVs anymore... Then I won't have copyright problems anymore...TT^TT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway... this week's Reborn... I love Tsuna's imagination! He actually imagined Reborn as some old dwarf guy who appeared in those TV talk shows!! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that! I wonder how shock he would be when he sees Reborn's true form? Must be really shocked... The Shimon family part was funny too! No one believed Skull... Well, probably because he sounds so childish and all... The last part makes me wonder quite a bit though. I did expect that Mukuro will fight Tsuna, but what will Chrome do? I feel sorry for her... She's the Guardian of the Mist too... But I really don't want to see CEDEF fighting Vongola... Father and son battles are complicated... Plus I don't know if they would really want to fight each other... Well, I guess we'll see how it goes. Amano does some pretty unexpected things sometimes.

The new chapter of Reborn is really exciting!!! I never thought they would have fight among themselves! But now that I think about it, except for CEDEF, the people that was asked a favour by the Arcobalenos were previous enemies... Mukuro, Varia and Enma... Does that mean Fon will ask Byakuran? Does that also mean that Tsuna's father is going to fight Tsuna?! Wah... This is going to be complicated, but interesting as well... By the way, Reborn's expression after Tsuna and Dino agreed to help is really funny!! And cute too~~ I never expected he would say thank you like that, haha! And then he just pretends to be all innocent and tries to run away. But the last sentence... I don't know if he is trying to sound cool, but "The real me is really, really cool" sounds funny instead... in my opinion anyway... It's like a kid trying to tell people that they are really cool...Anyway, I am looking forward to the next chapter!

My friend just came back from China and bought me some KHR merchandise!!! I'm so happy!!! I actually asked her to buy me Tsuna's wig and cosplay, but she didn't know my size and couldn't contact me, so she couldn't buy them. But she still got me Tsuna's Vongola Gear and the pocket watch!! I'm so grateful to her! She said that they were hard to find because apparently, Death Note and KHR are banned in China, so it's hard to find their merchandise. I really don't get China... Why would they ban Death Note and KHR? I mean it's not anything wrong... Well, I am still really grateful to her for buying them for me~~~ Oh yeah, pictures:


Pocket watch

Ring of the Sky Version X

So happy~~~ It was the best thing that happened to me in these two days... Seriously... the first two days of school are not fun... Everything's messed up... Well, now that I have these, I will work harder to buy cosplay costumes! 

Voting Poll!

I voted on Reborn's best songs poll!!! Aaa~~ I feel really happy right now~~~ There were three categories: the song that fascinated you (at least, that's what I think it is... the translator said numbing, so I guess it's so fascinating that it made you numb?), the song that made you feel their bonds (I really don't know how to explain this), and the most surprising song. It was kinda hard to choose because all of them are nice, but I finally decided on a few after considering about it. When I reached the voting page, I had to put my nickname, email address, location, the songs I am voting for each category and comments. I had no problem with my nickname and email address, but in the location section, all of the options were places in Japan, and since I don't live in Japan, I didn't know what to do... After being stuck there for about 10 minutes, I decided to put Tokyo City as my location. I feel really guilty for lying, but I really want to take part in this!!! And then I moved on to the songs selection. For the first category, I chose Kyoko and Haru's Sakura Rock. Their voices were really nice and the dance was great too! That's why I voted for them for that song. Well, at first I wanted to choose No Control by Gokudera and Basil, and to be honest I really don't know which one is better.But seeing Kyoko and Haru dancing was really fascinating, so I chose them instead. In the comment box for that category, I wrote that it was a great combination and the dances and their voices were great....in Japanese... No, I do not speak Japanese... but I managed to comment about the song using really simple sentences... And I did a lot of research to check if the grammar looks alright... I don't know if it sounds weird but I am a beginner in Japanese after all...And moving on...For the next category, I chose Reborn, Tsuna and Ryohei's Familia~~~ Hearing them sing that song was really touching. That song described the bonds between all the people in Vongola perfectly! Well, I didn't know how to say listening to Tsuna and others singing that song was touching in Japanese, so I just wrote that it's very touching.... and that's all for that...And for the last category, I chose Jump by Mukuro and Tsuna. Well, seeing Mukuro wearing a skirt was really surprising, and I laughed right out when I saw his reaction. So, comment box again... This time I said, "When I see Iida-san putting on a skirt, I was really surprised." I wonder if it was alright to say that... I just hope that no one would actually read it... Well I am sure they won't read it. I mean there are so many fans voting and they wouldn't care about the comments on one vote. So there really isn't anything to be worried or nervous about...Well here's a screen capture of what I wrote... I hid my private information but the songs and comments are obvious. Yes... I know my Japanese sucks... But I took part in it!!!

Aaaa!!! I love Reborn's expression when he was asking Tsuna a favour!!! Hahahaha!!! It looks like he was forcing himself to smile!!! He looks a bit creepy but kinda cute too! And Tsuna's response is just hilarious! But I really wished he would have listened to Reborn's request... Then we'll get to know how they are going to solve the Arcobaleno's curse... But well, I think Amano Akira just doesn't want to reveal it in this chapter, plus it's Tsuna after all... He never likes trouble... Then they showed Iemitsu and Lal Mirch... I love what Lal said: "It might end up being a Japanese family. If you don't go visit Japan soon, your son Tsunayoshi will end up forgetting about you completely."
Haha! Lal really knows how to scare the boss... And then Collonello came... Lal's blushing face is so cute~~ And then they showed Marmon... I thought Xanxus would have told him to go to hell when Marmon asked him a favour, but he turned out to be pretty nice about it... After that they showed Kokuyo Land... At first I didn't know who the Arcobaleno was, but seeing his arms in his pockets and his shady appearance, I guessed that it was Verde, which turned out to be right when I finished reading it... Later, Skull appeared in front of Enma, asking him a favour, which is pretty weird as to why he would ask Enma... And then there was Fon who didn't know who to ask (he should ask Hibari, hehe)... After that, they showed Tsuna again, with a group of mafia people in front of his house... I thought his father came back at first, but turned out to be Dino... The last page was surprising though... I never though Reborn would ask them to fight for him... Well, this is getting interesting. I am excited for the next chapter, hehe.

The Cursed Arcobaleno Arc has started!! I'm so excited for it!! I've been wondering why Reborn can be a hitman since he is an infant, and after seeing the Arcobaleno Trial arc(which explains that it was a curse that made them into infants), I really wanted to know more about it!! And now they say they are going to solve it! Hehe, I really am looking forward to this arc. Well I look forward to every arc in Katekyo Hitman Reborn so it's not really rare for me to be excited... At least this arc will answer all my questions! But I was also wondering, if they solve the curse of the arcobaleno, and Reborn becomes an adult again... then... it really won't be the same anymore... I mean we are so used to seeing Reborn as an infant and he follows Tsuna everywhere and all his cosplays are so funny, but if he's an adult he won't be able to do all that anymore, can he? Seeing him as an adult walking to school with Tsuna is just weird... And I wonder what will Kyoko and Haru think...? That they've been hugging an adult man all along? >.> Well I just hope they won't end the manga there... That's the last thing I would ever want to see!!! I don't want it to end!!! Even though I know it has to end one day... But not now!!! Maybe... 3-5 more years... I want it to continue for 3 to 5 more years...

I got a mail back from the person in charge of Team Canada in WCS. She said meeting through webcam is possible (yay!), BUT the team will be leaving in June... That is the month I have my final exams!!! I don't think they can tell me when they are going to leave since it's almost 1 year away... TT__TT I really wanted to go... Sigh... I've seen so many pictures of the event!! It looks so fun~~~ TT^TT Maybe I'll join when I am in university... She said I could use webcam during meetings... even though the time is a bit different... And I can leave in June because universities are out in May (I think)... Meanwhile I'll get more experience in cosplay and stuff... Hehe, I've been working really hard to learn sewing. Plus, I got myself a job and well, the salary is not much because I can only work 6 hours per week, but at least I have some income... I am also going to learn how to put on makeup (even though I don't like them, I'll do it for cosplay). Of course, I am not going to put it on myself first unless I am going to cosplay... I might ask my sister to be my specimen... Well, that's all for today! I have to get back to all the things I haven't done yet since summer is going by so quickly...

I made a new AMV~~~ I hope they don't remove it like last time... I spent the whole day making this so it would be a waste if they just remove it like that... Anyway, I really love In My World! The song feels kinda intense and sad, and it really fits Ao no Exorcist. To tell you the truth I don't think it fits into Katekyo Hitman Reborn, but I somehow managed to make it look okay... I still think Naruto's opening Lovers fits KHR a lot more though... But those people removed it...=3=  Oh well, as long as they don't remove this...

AAAAAA!!!! I really want to join Team Canada in the World Cosplay Summit this year!!! It sounds so fun!!! >_< But there are a lot of problems... First of all, I can't attend meetings in Halifax often, which is 5 hours away from here, and it is impossible for a 16-year-old girl like me to drive there (transportation always is the problem! ALWAYS!) Second of all, they need all the paperwork for traveling outside of Canada to be done by June 2012. That, I have no problem. But does that mean they are going to travel to Japan in June? I have my exams in June and I can't possibly miss exams for the Summit! The third and the biggest problem: my mother and brother will not allow it if it is going to be troublesome. Aaaaa!! This is frustrating!!! I really want to go to the summit!! TT_TT It sounds so fun!! If I miss it this time I won't be able to join it again... Especially not when I am in university... I'll probably be studying in University of Toronto and I'll need to go to Halifax by plane just for a meeting... I want to ask the person in charge if I can have webcam meetings with them so that I don't have to come to meetings so often, but I think that might be asking too much...Plus I am not sure if I really can handle the job as an assistant... The job description that the person in charge emailed me was like this: 

"An In Japan assistant will be required to hold onto all the sponsor money while in Japan, keep a schedule of the days, make sure we get from point A to Point B, book Hotels under their name and help out the team in any other way they can.  We are hoping for two to be there alongside the reps. 

All in all it really isn’t a hard job!  You might have to study a bit of Japanese and a few maps before we leave to make sure your familiar with the schedules and such but we are old enough to not need a chaperone so it probably is one of the best jobs available!

Depending on the dates the WCS assign to Canada we could be staying in Japan for up to a month and the dates your there that you are not involved in WCS events it’s a free for all, you can go/do anything you like!  We will probably instate a curfew however so we can keep everyone safe and somewhat organized." 

TT_TT I really want to go... But what should I do?

This week's chapter of Katekyo Hitman Reborn was hilarious! Fran basically made a fool out of everyone there! Mukuro is a pineapple fairy and the Varia are cavity imps!!! Hahaha!!! I LOVE THIS CHAPTER! Mukuro's gang and Varia's pissed off expressions are just EPIC!!!!At first the Mukuro gang and Varia were fighting over Fran, then when they found out that he had no memories of the future they started to dump Fran on each other. Poor Fran. But he is really cute there! He just made into one of my favourite characters. The present Fran anyway... the future Fran is not as cute... Anyway the chapter ended with Fran choosing to go along with one of them. I wonder who will he go along with?

As to this week's Bleach and Naruto... Naruto's plot development is surprising. I never thought the crow would have one of Shisui's eyes. But... other than that, it doesn't leave much of an impression. As for Bleach... it's great that he got his power back, but... wasn't that how he got his power at first? Feels kind of repetitive to me but oh well, we'll see how it goes.

KHR obsession

Hehe, from now on, this is my new blog! Well of course, I won't just abandon my old blog, but this one would be mainly about my anime/manga/cosplay obsession. So from today onwards this will be a place for my KHR obsession (and other anime/manga too, but mostly KHR) Ah, don't worry, I will still talk about KHR in my old blog, so Ritsu won't miss it, hehe... You should create a blog about Arashi too. I doubt that you have the time though... You must be having a really hard time, ne? Anyway, I found out that there will be a Rebocon 5! It's a little too late but I am happy anyway!! Does that mean they are going to have a continuation for the anime? Aaaa~~~ Can't wait~~~ Ah! Just realized the time... It's already 12.04 am... I should go to bed...
