Had the most absurd msging from a cg member this morning. Next time I create a community, comprehension tests will be administered.

In other news, Gackt mostly lost me as a fan during his 100 versions of the December Love Song period. I think he lost many fans during that boring period since all the reliable news sites have stopped posting. Afterwards, he somewhat left music to pursue his 'acting' career, but is recently back with numerous (up to 5?) singles; one per month. 'The Next Decade' is the newest one. The PV is laughably bad all the way through the credits. The song is dull (deecade?), but is used for a Kamen Rider theme, so in that case, it sounds appropriate. I miss the 500 year old vampire Gackt with his violin buddy.

I'm glad google video search includes nicovideos. yay.

Otomen 1! Masamune Asuka, a star kendo player, secretly likes cute things and thrives on cutesy crafts and baking. Miyakozuka Ryo, a tough girl, wants to be more feminine. They fall for each other. This is based on a manga by Kanno Aya from which I read a handful of chapters. The first episode basically introduces the main characters and the other stock-cast of supporting characters; the tough rival and his gang, and the lapdogs. It's a well-made drama, but like other recent manga-to-drama shows, the jokes kinda fall flat in live-action form. It might be too early to confirm this flaw, but the first episode gives me that impression. I think the writers are giving it a formulaic format. The highlight of the show is the eye-candy named Okada Masaki who plays Asuka, and seems to be the younger version of Takizawa Hideaki. (Btw, I think it was reported that Uverworld was doing the theme song. That news bit was wrong. Shibasaki Koh's 'lover soul' is the theme...not too bad). I can't say that the first episode was all that brilliant, but I might marathon this show on a rainy day.

I want this Kobato outfit.
