- Cast Commentary 1 for TV Episode (Minagawa Junko, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Kaida Yuki)
- Cast Commentary 2 for OVA Episode (Suwabe Junichi, Kusunoki Taiten, Shingaki Tarusuke)
…… I can’t believe they’re releasing a new OVA episode in a freakin’ one episode DVD that costs like 5,000 yen. I’m betting that the OVA ep won’t be aired either so the only way to watch it is the buy the DVD. >o>
Oh yeah, and the Animate Edition comes with a Eraser Strap Set (Ryoma, Atobe, Yukimura, Shiraishi, Tokugawa)
Kaname~ Dasoku~ Gero~ <3
Had a lovely time at the AFA Spring Taikai today! Managed to grab both Dasoku CDs & had an awesome handshake experience! Kaname’s super sparkly smile & Dasoku’s sexy “arigatou” when I told them they were cool… Kyaaa ☆
The concert itself was amazing. Could do without the local bands’ performances - frankly, only the rendition of “Butterfly” from Digimon (by Quis) caught my attention. The talk session with our three ikemen was pretty disappointing in my opinion too… Gero’s first words were this string of high-pitched girly squeaks - kyaaa~ Gosh, I totally want to rant about the rest of the concert now! XDDD
Kaname’s performance had a few slips when he forgot his lyrics. Can’t blame him though as he’s originally a cosplayer & this was his first time singing in front of a large audience. He immediately went to his knees at the end of the second song, begging for our forgiveness - he’s so cute lol! His voice wasn’t too bad & he had plenty of stage presence which helped heaps~
Gero… I’m totally his fan now! Gero is absolutely cute in person & his playful character was a joy to the fans. Could pretty much tell that more than half of the crowd were his fangirls~ He even sang “Scissorshands” - one of my favorite Vocaloid songs! It was so cute how he kept laughing/giggling into his mic… Even the effort he put in his English was endearing~ Gah, now I wished that I told him that he was cute during the handshake! *A*;;
The last solo performer is… Dasoku! It’s totally my dream to be able to see him perform live! Absolutely loved his deep & sexy voice… Can’t remember what he sang, but they were all really good songs! Dasoku seemed a little miffed that he seemed to be getting lesser cheers. I could almost see a dark cloud hovering over his head when he tried to escape to the backstage… TAT;;
Second talk session was slightly better, but still quite lacking. Oh well, can’t be bothered too much with it anyway. The final performance was a surprise collaboration - all three of them sang the last song together~ Dasoku was wandering randomly in the background while Kaname & Gero got high together! At the end of the song though, Kaname & Dasoku linked hands, & were happily skipping around… When Gero tried to join in, Dasoku smacked him off~ Dasoku always seems to be bullying poor Gero lol! XDDD
To end off the night, we had our photo-taking session! It was totally the highlight of the day for me~ I was actually lucky enough to be placed on the first row, but I got even luckier when I was selected to stand right behind the singers, directly between Gero & Dasoku! My new friend was super thrilled when Kaname & Gero swapped places & she got to stand right behind Gero! Both of us were so lucky ☆
My luck continued - & after the photo was taken, I tried to high-five Gero. Others saw me reach out & followed suit, but Gero chose to high-five with me first! I was super satisfied with the hearty high-five~ To make my day end off even better, I turned to Dasoku with my palm held out… He complied by making a little fist & punched my palm lightly! Kyaaa~ XDDD
I’ll never be able to forget what happened today! <3
Crazy gacha-hunt today! Much love & thanks to Poyo who accompanied me for the entire journey! XDDD
Suntec > Marina Square > IMM > Anchor Point > Bedok Point. (Pretty mad huh?)
My feet hurt now & I still haven’t gotten my Tenipuri gachapon… But I still feel satisfied after the long day! At least Poyo got the Gintama gachapon that she really wanted~ So it was exactly a wasted trip, heh!
I bought these instead - 1 Anohana, 1 Infinite Stratos, 2 Hakuouki & 2 Gintama. But… I wish I managed to find the Tenipuri ones! TAT;;
Two awesome news too! My parcel reached Singapore today! Very much pleasantly surprised that SAL shipping is really fast & reliable… As the post office is closed today & tomorrow, guess I can expect the parcel on Monday or Tuesday~ Also, Dasoku would be selling his CDs at the AFA Spring Taikai tomorrow! Kyaaa, I really badly want them~ *A*;;
