Best Wishes!
I'm cursed............... My LJ notifications no longer work (>___<) Thank you dorothy_chan for confirming it to me: I'm the only to have this problem, right? It's now bothering me quite a lot cause I'll not be informed of your comments and PMs unless I track every single places. I've been suspecting it a while ago, I think it happened for a month or so, though I wasn't certain of it either. I tried to set it back but nothing that I've done was sucessful. Please people don't hate me if I'll take even more time to reply you.
DURARARA!!
Next, I'll tell you what I have been doing since last week... You all know how muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch I loooooooooove a certain anime/light novel/manga??? What, no idea? Hint: my journal's layout. Got it now? XD Yeah that's Durarara!!, my fav anime along with PM. Anywaaaaaay, what I'm trying to say is that once again I tried to beg my Mom to watch it. Before I go further, have to tell you that my Mom is really open-minded and she's interested in the things her children, in other words me and my bro, like. DRRR!! is my current fandom and I wanted to get my Mom hooked at it too. For once we got a free professional French simulcasting, it meant to be watched \(^з^ )/ There's only four titles (Dybex) and DRRR!! is one of them ♥♥♥
I've already beg her some times ago but she replied to me "Later". "Later" is always what she says, she's actually playing... a Mmorpg everyday, everytime she can and it really has been a while she's last watched an anime (Death Note and Hikaru no Go) or play another game (Pokémon HeartGold and Phoenix Wright). She didn't reply me "Later' this time but... "How about it? If you help me finishing this quest, I'll be watching Durarara!!" *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Hai, my Mom is that kinda person... she wants to make me hooked to that Mmorpg and I admit that I used to play it a lot before too, that was three years ago. Anyway, I.................. gave in and played it in order to make my Mom watching it. I had to put a little break on my self-studies, though I was still studying but not as much as previously. She needed my help coz she's doing the same quest for three of her char. A total of three char played by my Mom, my Dad and me (=__=;;) guh. Oh my, it feels so weird to say this like that, if you don't understand what I mean, leave it aside and don't think hard.
It took us a while before completing this whole quest because we don't have so much free time. But now that we've completed it all, my Mom is watching DRRR!! YAAAAAAAAY XD For some reason, she wanted me to stay beside her while watching it. Well I don't mind it, love DRRR!! and I don't tired of it no matter how many I watch it, that's the third time by the way :D And I want to rewatch them again and again once the French DVD will be out here, which has not be announced and that's also the same frustration I had on my last entry.
15 episodes watched, 2-3 episodes a day. My Mom enjoyed it so far but not as much as me. She thinks that DRRR!! is not bad, good plot, funny and all. Oh and ouuuuuuuuut of curiosity, I asked her which char she likes the most, I SWEAR I didn't influence her or say anything related to this specific char at all. Haha you know what I mean here, right? Her fav is the SAME as mine, which is... my Izayan ♥♥♥ She likes him because he's fun and everything he does is crazy, funny and what can we do, eccentric char like him is really likeable. Though she doesn't think that he's a sadist or a b****** "yet" lol. Wait a minute, she's not fangirling about Izaya, don't get this wrong. He's just her fav char from DRRR!!, that's all that it is.
While I was rewatching DRRR!!, I noticed things that I didn't the two last times ^__^;;;
Firstly, that harrassing teacher who is always around Anri, forgot his name though... Anyhow his seiyuu is... Takeshi (also known as Brock) from Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) and when I told this to my Mom, she said: "No wonder he's been asked to dub that character" I laughed so hard XDDDDDDDDD All of you has watched Pokémon I suppose, Takeshi (Brock) is always flirting with every girls he meets!
Secondly, please watch that vid of Saiyuki I posted previously. That scene I mentioned with Shizuo going after Izaya, well it's from the episode 7 (Shizuo's past) :D
And lastly, from the episode 2, Izaya's cute look <3333333333
No way!
("Mais non !" = But no! but here the meaning is "No way!")
Oh also you know, my Mom wanted to create some more char for her Mmorpg and she asked me what name to put. You know the meaning of this: Izaya and Shizuo XD Luckily no one has used their name, it's not that surprising, there's no longer many people who play it now, see me I quit. Well I quit it because of school but as for the other people, they quit because the game got a reset or something.
Have you noticed my layout???? There're some changes AGAIN and full of DRRR!! XDDDDDD I'll leave them to you. Hint: three changes! The result kinda suck, PS doesn't work well and can't do things as good as I'd like it to be *sigh*
See those super adorable DRRR!! icons:
Desktop Icons
made by intothesweetsky (me)
I made them yesterday as well as all those changes from my journal. I was away from my computer for so long (because of studies, DRRR!!, Mmorpg, and because my bedroom is cold and didn't want to stay there. Seriously it's really cold there >____<). When I took a look at my Code Geass desktop icons, I had a funny idea: "What if I try to make DRRR!! icons" XD That's how I ended up making them. I used the Photoshop from my laptop, monochrome images are bad on my laptop for some reason ?__? but colors are fine and thanks goodness I was able to make them. I feel so happy now o(∩_∩)o
If you're interested in them, I'd gladly share them but you have to wait a bit because I want to make like a full set of DRRR!!. I want to make Tanaka Taro, Kanra-san, Setton, Saika, Bakyura, Celty's helmet, a heart for Izaya's love for human being haha and maybe more of them but just don't know what (^__^; ) Please if you have other suggestion, do tell me :) By the way, the pictures I used are OFFICIAL, I didn't use fanmade. As for Shizuo's sign, I created it myself XD
My Mom says that I'm too into DRRR!!, which is true but she doesn't know how far I've been into this series. Because yeah, I posted on my journal the merchandises that I've ordered lastly. Now I will be showing you ALL OF THEM (if the samples are available coz I ordered things with no samples lol).
I received the Regular Edition of Complication by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D, Durarara!! 2nd opening :) And for the VERY VERY VERY first time, my copy was damaged (o__O ) Well it wasn't the CD but the box *phew*
(was I fortunate this past years, all my Mai-K CDs were all right).
ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D - Complication
Regular Edition
Release date: 2010.06.02
Tracklist:
01. Complication
02. Fortune
03. BUMP ON da STYLE
04. Complication instrumental
05. Fortune instrumental
Price: ￥1,223
The RE is darker from the Limited Edition and the Limited Durarara!! Edition and you really feel their style on the covers :p Though I like DRRR!! version the best of course XD
Why did you get a copy of the Regular edition while you already own the DRRR!! version?
Because the DRRR!! version doesn't have the instrumental version of Complication. So yeah now I have it and enjoy it XDDD
Why did you get a copy of the Regular edition instead of the Limited Edition?
'Cause the DRRR!! version already have the PV of Complication.
I received another DRRR!! related order recently XD
Mobile Cleaner - Set A + Set C
Release date: 2010.09.16
Set A:
01. Shizuo Heiwajima
02. Celty Sturluson
Set C:
01. Izaya Orihara
02. Anri Sonohara
Price: ￥683
I didn't order the Set B which is obviously Masaomi Kida + Mikado Ryugamine. But now I'm regretting it, they're so cuuuute, I want Masaomi's!!!!!!!! Those straps match so much with my two DS haha, though Izaya's would match a red DS best but don't have it so a pink one will do =p
Ah, I was surprised to get it so early, within a week, while I used SAL <(^o^ )>
Here are the original samples.
I love Chibi/SD so I had to get those straps. Same illustrations as the mascots hehe. Last time I said that they were smart to sale merchandises of Shizuo and Izaya separately lol. But somehow having Izaya and Anri together makes it weird, it reminds me of a "certain" anime that I finally finished to watch it (@_@ ) Guess that Shizuo + Celty makes more sense than Shizuo + Anri hahahaha
If you want them, they're still available at many stores~~
Now the other DRRR!! merchandises I've ordered but haven't arrived or haven't been released yet (in order of their release).
Izaya's Ring
Release date: 2010.08.05
Size: #13 (ring) / approx. 126 x 88mm (bromide)
Materials: metal (ring) / paper, with full color print (bromide)
Price: ￥1,575
I was right to wait a bit before placing my order, cause bigger order make the shipping fee cheaper fufu :D It will arrive with my plushies. Izaya's ring looks awesome, though that's his ring from the light novels cause I don't remember that it has that sort of shape, hasn't it
Durarara!! 3way standoff
First Press Limited Edition
Release date: 2010.09.22
Here's the three different editions of this game.
Regular Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
Price: ￥6,090
Limited Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
02. Pouch
03. UMD CDs
04. Izaya mascot
Price: ￥8,190
First Press Limited Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
02. Pouch
03. UMD CDs
04. Izaya mascot
05. Shizuo mascot
Price: ￥8,190
If you ask me why did they do that, well Idk either... What I can tell you is that the Limited Edition and the First Press LE are more expensive than the RE but it was expected haha. The First Press LE was long ago sold out so there's no more choice to get it but from auction sellers like ebay. The LE might still be available, well not sure.
I ordered mine late because I didn't know whether to get it or not, so undecided (=_= )/ Actually I don't have a PSP, I mean I don't have my OWN PSP so I thought it'd be a waste to spend money on something that I wouldn't be able to play soon. But you see, the more I saw those mascots of Izaya and Shizuo, the more I wanted them, my bad XD Anyway I have no idea when I'll get my order, probably in two weeks, slooooow but cheaper lol. I'll take pic when it'll arrive (if I don't forget it).
As for the game itself, some people say it was good while others don't, I'll be judging it myself anyway... when I'll get a PSP first lol and I also hope it won't be too hard to understand it... My Japanese is really limited *sigh*
Durarara!! 3way standoff
Official trailer
Something you might not know, there were a fashion contest in pixiv for the commemoration of Durarara!! 3way standoff release.

48 pages woot~! Even though I ordered it, I'll not use it, never used these kind of merchandises. They've always meant to be my collection (like that upcoming Kuro's Collector Volume 1 Edition).
This schedule book is out of stock at Animaxis for now.
Shizuo & Izaya plushies
Release date: 2010.10.21
Plush A : Shizuo Heiwajima
Plush B : Izaya Orihara
Size: 250mm
Price: ￥3,150 (each)
Yaaaay plushies ♥♥♥ However... well I know they're "a little" ugly...
I believe that the final result will not be like these. I mean these are shots and shots don't give a proper picture (Speaking of shots, I'm not photogenic too ( ;>o<)/ ). Take a look at the back and side view of each plush, not the same as the front pics. I love how they make Izaya's clothes, actually Izaya's plush is cute, only his eyes looks weird IMO. (the color of his skin is due to the cam shot as well). Now as for Shizuo, his clothes, his eyes and his arms are a bit weird haha and really they should have made a better job.
Out of stock for a VERY long time, I think the only way to get these two plushies will be from Animate. Plushies are ♥ and they sold out faster than any other merchandises (^_^;;;) To tell you the truth, I was reaaaaaaaally lucky to get them, I was just checking Animaxis page by chance. I was looking for the lines from the DRRR!! figures (mascots) and I saw "Durarara!! Plush Toy Shizuo/Izaya", I immediately reserved them XD Well if they're as weird as those shots, especially Shizuo because I love Izaya's, then you don't really miss something... I'll take some pics of them when I'll get them, I used EMS so they're supposed to arrive fast (few days after the release date).
While we're at it, there're some other official plushies of DRRR!!, they're smaller. They were first introduced in Durarara!! Radio aka Duraraji!! # 14. (Oooooooooh the #16 is out *____* didn't notice, will be dling it right away~~ Konnidura XDD)
Release date: 2010.09.22
Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Mikado) & Kana Hanazawa (Anri)
Characters: Shizuo, Mikado, Izaya & Celty
Size: 12cm
I forgot where people are supposed to get them but if you want them, you have no choice but getting them from Japanese auctions like Yahoo! Auction. And IMO, Izaya and Shizuo's big plushies are cuter than these ones (^_^;;;;) Ah and nope I didn't order them.
Durarara!! 2011 Calendar
Broccoli Version
Release date: 2010.10.22
Size: approx. 200 x 200 x 9mm (whole item) / approx. 158 x 200mm (calendar part)
Specs: ring type desk-top calendar, front cover processed with metallic sheen, 14 sheets including the cover
Materials: metal, paper
Price: ￥1,575
Have already talked about them, see my previous entry :p
There're two other DRRR!! calendars, a total of 3 different calendars haha. Just like popular series from Shueisha XDDDD
Release date: 2010.10.xx
Release date: 2010.10.02
I only ordered the Broccoli Version. You can only get that third calendar from Animate only, which I can't. The illustrations are mostly duplicate from the two other calendars but I LOVE the cover, new and awesome illustration with all the main char, including Celty *__* though we don't see much of her.
All calendars are out of print and can only be purchased from Animate.
Trading Voice Mascots
Release date: 2010.11.04
Size: 50mm
Set: 6 mascots
Price: ￥4,410
Have already talked about them, see my previous entry for more info and pics :p
I used SAL, ordered it with the calendar, it will take forever to arrive *sigh* If I'm not mistaken with something else, those mascots are still available at some places so order yours quickly before they went out of stock or sellers from ebay get all of them lol.
Shizuo & Izaya "Good Night" Sheets
Release date: 2010.11.06
Material: Polyester suede
Size: 240cm x 150cm x 0.02cm
Price: ￥9,450 (each)
With these last two merchandises, now you know how much I love Durarara!!, huh? XDDDDD (though I ordered another item but no sample lol)
When I first saw them, I was bluuuuuuuushing SO HARD and besides I'm still blushing when I see them now <(^////^ <) How can you not be when your best two bishies are having such a pose and inviting you to... XDDDDDDDD Before I realized it, I'd already ordered both of them, I could NOT resist kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
From what I saw, Izaya's sheet is selling more than Shizuo's, well Izaya is having a "Come-with-me" look ♥♥♥ But Shizuo is also so... *can't describe with simple words* ♥♥♥ I will not be able to sleep at all... *dieeeeees*
Anyway it's now time to order them if you want to get them before they went out of stock. They're EXPENSIVE so think twice before placing your order!!! ￥9,450 is 83€ ($114), I can afford them so I did it but I admit that the price is *cough* (@__@ ) due to the UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH size, I assume. 240cm x 150cm is bigger than my single bed lol and it can't even fit a queen size bed hahahahah. I really wonder why did they make such a big size because yeah it is quite crazy if you think about it. Oh and... I didn't ask my Mom to watch DRRR!! because of these sheets, I mean because she'd definitely think I'm insane haha (don't worry, it's the usual me that you see now, I'm collecting every little thing whenever it has to do with things I love like TOO MUCH like Pikachu and DNA related =D). I asked her to watch it before knowing the existence of these sheets, which were last week's Tuesday.
Ok I'll stop fangirling but... but... can I say that DRRR!! is becoming more and more popular???? Coz they wouldn't have made sheets if DRRR!! were as popular as such an extent in the first place, would they? Could they consider a second season? PLEAAASE!!!! Though I didn't check it, I don't think the other "new" animes as much merchandises as DRRR!! does:: 3 different calendars like Shueisha's popular series (Bleach, Reborn!, Naruto, etc.), though they're all desktop but STILL ; PSP game ; plushies and now sheets. <~ rare series have sheets
Now that I think about it, I still haven't finished to write my 3 day report at Japan Expo *sigh* my first DRRR!! goods were fanmade. I didn't take a pic because I don't the original artist would want me to do so, so here're the pages were to see them:
Badges | Bookmark
I also got myself the Kuro's bookmark ♥ When I saw Izaya's badge and was going to ask the artist if she's made other DRRR!! badges, she immediately took a bag out with Shizuo's badge =D

I'm impressed by the sales!!! Not only SUMMER TIME GONE were sold more than EYN/DME but also 1k have been sold after the 4th week, I don't remember that Beautiful did such a result (though Beautiful were sold much more). I thought people wouldn't get SUMMER TIME GONE because of Mai-K's upcoming album, FUTURE KISS, but nah I was wrong, SUMMER TIME GONE sales are still running, I'm so relieved ♥ Please keep going a bit longer~~

OTHERS
I received another no-French order last week: Kamitsukitai aka I Want to Bite by Isaya Takamori-sensei (author) and Chigusa Kawai-sensei (illustrator).
I Want to Bite
Release date: 2010.08.18
Now I'm sure of it, every titles coming from Dokidoki will be available after a month in other online shops. Apparently you can get them online in time from Akadot Retail, that's their benefit. But well I don't want to get them from AR, I've tried it once before and really that's a waste of money if you don't live in USA cause the shipping cost is truly HIGH!!! However, AR hold lots of stocks, more than normal shops do like old titles, old mag, old merchandises which are still available. But personnally I don't advise you to get anything from them.
Anyway, back to to I Want to Bite. First, it was renamed from I Want to Bite You to I Want to Bite whcih I didn't realized before getting my copy lol. But "kamitsukitai" means both so never mind the title. Oh and I haven't read it, I'm busy with many other things right now, especially my studies, and I'd not start reading anything. Despite I did not read it, I can tell you few things. The chapters are short, I was kinda sad, I love loooooooong chapters the best haha and btw I rarely read oneshot fanfics (=.= ). I'm the type of person who loves long chapters.
Now about the illustrations, since I haven't read it I can't tell you further (^_^;;), Kawai-sensei's art is really beautiful, the insert illustration is awesome, too bad they didn't leave it in color as it was in the Japanese light novel. Oh and... hmmmmmmmm. This light novel is YAOI, not your mere shounen-ai or whatever, my first yaoi light novel lol but since it was illustrated by Kawai-sensei, I will read it. Anyway, as stated Kamitsukitai is a yaoi light novel and so the illustrations tend to that too ^_^;;;;;;;;; What I mean is I felt really but really really awkward to see yaoi scenes (2 pages) with Sensei's art... Ah! They're not hard (thank goodness XD) but yaoi.... <~ Mizu doesn't dislike BL, she likes shounen-ai but she's kinda disturbed by *cough* the view of you-know-what scenes
Tegami Bachi
Collector Volume 1 Edition
Release date: 2010.11.05
Yay! It's now available on Amazon, get your copy asap as I said last time for the collector volume 1 of Kuroshitsuji. Amazon doesn't write down the copies their suppliers can provide them.
Dans ce coffret collector en édition limitée, vous trouverez le volume 1 de Letter Bee et 5 cartes postales inédites
Contents:
Volume 1
+ 5 postcards
I'm bothered by the contents... I mean if you compare it to Kuro's collector edition (=.= ) Ok let me explain it:
Kuroshitsuji: Volume 1 + bookmark + 5 postcards = 9,90€
Tegami Bachi: Volume 1 + 5 postcards = 8,95€
Is a bookmark supposed to cost 1€? \(>__< )/
Many animes that I've been watching has ended recently, this feels so weird somehow but starting tomorrow new airings (^o^)

Best Wishes!
Rica Matsumoto
hajimete no basho hajimete no kaze no nioi mm...
hajimete janai no wa kono dokidoki!
shinpin no kono chizu kushakusha ni naru koro oretachi
nee doko made susunderu kana?
koko dake no hanashi fuan hitotsu futatsu mittsu
demo tanoshimi wa kazoe kirenai!
mimi wo sumaseba natsukashii koe mirai kano koe
itsumo inottete kureteru
"kimi wa daijoubou!
nazeka daijoubou!
minna daijoubou!"
Yeah-he-he-hey arukidasou!
Yeah-he-he-hey hashicchao ka?
dokidoki wa sugu ni uzuuzu ni!
itemo tattemo irarenai ze!
I like the lyrics especially the chorus with "mimi wo sumaseba natsukashii koe mirai kano koe" ♥ Anyway I expected, opening themes songs by Matsumoto-san (aka Satoshi ♥) are the "BEST". I really love her opening and I'm loving Best Wishes more than Spurt!, Challenger! and Rival! XD I type the lyrics of the TV version, I can actually type the full opening but ermmm... the quality of the video with Matsumoto-san singing the full version Best Wishes! in live performance is bad and I can hardly recognize the hiragana (@__@ ) I may try to do it later because yeah that song is AWESOME, I'm loving it so very much ♥♥♥ Speaking of that, Rica-san sung the full version of Best Wishes! at the Pokémon event called "Housou Kinen".
Now about the video... THAT'S THE BEST POKÉMON OPENING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (though no humans appearance, no Satoshi XD) I've never seen an opening as good as this one before from any anime I've watched so far. OMGGGG really, I love it and I want a DVD of this video in the upcoming single please, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The Pokémon are in Black but once Satoshi will see them, they will turn in color!!! Great idea, right??? For those you don't know, they've done something similar before but not to that extent actually. Something similar = when their Pokémon evolves, they will appear in the evolve form in the openings/endings =D But this opening... this opening... it's so awwwww.
Here's the second version of Best Wishes! (from the episode 2):

Comparisons :D
Maybe I didn't watch it well enough but I didn't see this Pokémon, Chillarmy, in the episode 1 (?__? ) (though I watched it thrice)
Now the ending theme song is Kokoro no Fanfare, aired for the first time in the episode 3 :)

I'm sorry, I wrote these lyrics from a LQ video (again XD), I'll revise it later.
The song is sweeeeeeeet, it was sung by Aki Okui, it was expected hehe.
I love Kimi no Mune ni LaLaLa (Diamond & Pearl series) more ♥ and my fav ending is still Sokoni Soraga Arukara (Advanced Generation series) ♥♥♥
Putting this aside, the video is so ADORABLE, Pikachu & cie are so cute kyaaaaaaaa <~ Pikachu lover XDDDDD Ah also, Dento (Mamoru Miyano aka Masaomi from DRRR!! XD) is there too yaaaaaaaay ♥ (heart overdose lol). By the way, humans characters in the ending hahahahaha.
Summary of the episode 1:
Dr. Ookido plans to go to the region Isshu to meet Dr. Araragi and has asked Satoshi and his Mom to come with him. Once they arrived, a thunder hit Pikachu where a mysterious Pokémon appears before his and Satoshi's eyes: Zekrom. After meeting with Dr. Araragi, Pikachu got an examination and it seems that he'll be all right in no time. Afterwards, Satoshi meets Shooti, a new beginner in the Pokémon world who will be getting his first Pokémon from Dr. Araragi: he choses Tsutaaja, the Grass Pokémon because of his confident look making the two other starters, Pokabu (Fire) and Mijumaru (Water) sad, especially this last one. Pikachu is now fine and joined up with Satoshi who were talking with Shooti. They decided to make a match: Pikachu VS Tsutaaja. Though Shooti is a new trainer, Satoshi lost against him. For some reason, Pikachu couldn't use his electrical attacks such as Thunderbold, Volt Tackle and more importantly he was too tired to ever move as his normal self. Satoshi immediately carried Pikachu to D. Araragi to heal him and of course to find out what did happen to his beloved Pokémon. Pikachu actually got an overload of electricity. A black cloud reappears and Pikachu was hit by another overload of electricity... TO BE CONTINUED XD
Ok I'm lazy to type the summary of the next two episodes and made captures haha But really watch them, they're awesome, you really feel that they wanted to change it and do something more mature! And I'm seriously happy to hear that people who've lost interest in the anime are now watching this new series because of its awesomeness. The first episode was like a Pokémon movie, I was so shocked, they really did a great job~~*

DURARARA!!
Next, I'll tell you what I have been doing since last week... You all know how muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch I loooooooooove a certain anime/light novel/manga??? What, no idea? Hint: my journal's layout. Got it now? XD Yeah that's Durarara!!, my fav anime along with PM. Anywaaaaaay, what I'm trying to say is that once again I tried to beg my Mom to watch it. Before I go further, have to tell you that my Mom is really open-minded and she's interested in the things her children, in other words me and my bro, like. DRRR!! is my current fandom and I wanted to get my Mom hooked at it too. For once we got a free professional French simulcasting, it meant to be watched \(^з^ )/ There's only four titles (Dybex) and DRRR!! is one of them ♥♥♥
I've already beg her some times ago but she replied to me "Later". "Later" is always what she says, she's actually playing... a Mmorpg everyday, everytime she can and it really has been a while she's last watched an anime (Death Note and Hikaru no Go) or play another game (Pokémon HeartGold and Phoenix Wright). She didn't reply me "Later' this time but... "How about it? If you help me finishing this quest, I'll be watching Durarara!!" *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Hai, my Mom is that kinda person... she wants to make me hooked to that Mmorpg and I admit that I used to play it a lot before too, that was three years ago. Anyway, I.................. gave in and played it in order to make my Mom watching it. I had to put a little break on my self-studies, though I was still studying but not as much as previously. She needed my help coz she's doing the same quest for three of her char. A total of three char played by my Mom, my Dad and me (=__=;;) guh. Oh my, it feels so weird to say this like that, if you don't understand what I mean, leave it aside and don't think hard.
It took us a while before completing this whole quest because we don't have so much free time. But now that we've completed it all, my Mom is watching DRRR!! YAAAAAAAAY XD For some reason, she wanted me to stay beside her while watching it. Well I don't mind it, love DRRR!! and I don't tired of it no matter how many I watch it, that's the third time by the way :D And I want to rewatch them again and again once the French DVD will be out here, which has not be announced and that's also the same frustration I had on my last entry.
15 episodes watched, 2-3 episodes a day. My Mom enjoyed it so far but not as much as me. She thinks that DRRR!! is not bad, good plot, funny and all. Oh and ouuuuuuuuut of curiosity, I asked her which char she likes the most, I SWEAR I didn't influence her or say anything related to this specific char at all. Haha you know what I mean here, right? Her fav is the SAME as mine, which is... my Izayan ♥♥♥ She likes him because he's fun and everything he does is crazy, funny and what can we do, eccentric char like him is really likeable. Though she doesn't think that he's a sadist or a b****** "yet" lol. Wait a minute, she's not fangirling about Izaya, don't get this wrong. He's just her fav char from DRRR!!, that's all that it is.
While I was rewatching DRRR!!, I noticed things that I didn't the two last times ^__^;;;
Firstly, that harrassing teacher who is always around Anri, forgot his name though... Anyhow his seiyuu is... Takeshi (also known as Brock) from Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) and when I told this to my Mom, she said: "No wonder he's been asked to dub that character" I laughed so hard XDDDDDDDDD All of you has watched Pokémon I suppose, Takeshi (Brock) is always flirting with every girls he meets!
Secondly, please watch that vid of Saiyuki I posted previously. That scene I mentioned with Shizuo going after Izaya, well it's from the episode 7 (Shizuo's past) :D
And lastly, from the episode 2, Izaya's cute look <3333333333
No way!
("Mais non !" = But no! but here the meaning is "No way!")
Oh also you know, my Mom wanted to create some more char for her Mmorpg and she asked me what name to put. You know the meaning of this: Izaya and Shizuo XD Luckily no one has used their name, it's not that surprising, there's no longer many people who play it now, see me I quit. Well I quit it because of school but as for the other people, they quit because the game got a reset or something.
Have you noticed my layout???? There're some changes AGAIN and full of DRRR!! XDDDDDD I'll leave them to you. Hint: three changes! The result kinda suck, PS doesn't work well and can't do things as good as I'd like it to be *sigh*
See those super adorable DRRR!! icons:
Desktop Icons
made by intothesweetsky (me)
I made them yesterday as well as all those changes from my journal. I was away from my computer for so long (because of studies, DRRR!!, Mmorpg, and because my bedroom is cold and didn't want to stay there. Seriously it's really cold there >____<). When I took a look at my Code Geass desktop icons, I had a funny idea: "What if I try to make DRRR!! icons" XD That's how I ended up making them. I used the Photoshop from my laptop, monochrome images are bad on my laptop for some reason ?__? but colors are fine and thanks goodness I was able to make them. I feel so happy now o(∩_∩)o
If you're interested in them, I'd gladly share them but you have to wait a bit because I want to make like a full set of DRRR!!. I want to make Tanaka Taro, Kanra-san, Setton, Saika, Bakyura, Celty's helmet, a heart for Izaya's love for human being haha and maybe more of them but just don't know what (^__^; ) Please if you have other suggestion, do tell me :) By the way, the pictures I used are OFFICIAL, I didn't use fanmade. As for Shizuo's sign, I created it myself XD
My Mom says that I'm too into DRRR!!, which is true but she doesn't know how far I've been into this series. Because yeah, I posted on my journal the merchandises that I've ordered lastly. Now I will be showing you ALL OF THEM (if the samples are available coz I ordered things with no samples lol).
I received the Regular Edition of Complication by ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D, Durarara!! 2nd opening :) And for the VERY VERY VERY first time, my copy was damaged (o__O ) Well it wasn't the CD but the box *phew*
(was I fortunate this past years, all my Mai-K CDs were all right).
ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D - Complication
Regular Edition
Release date: 2010.06.02
Tracklist:
01. Complication
02. Fortune
03. BUMP ON da STYLE
04. Complication instrumental
05. Fortune instrumental
Price: ￥1,223
The RE is darker from the Limited Edition and the Limited Durarara!! Edition and you really feel their style on the covers :p Though I like DRRR!! version the best of course XD
Why did you get a copy of the Regular edition while you already own the DRRR!! version?
Because the DRRR!! version doesn't have the instrumental version of Complication. So yeah now I have it and enjoy it XDDD
Why did you get a copy of the Regular edition instead of the Limited Edition?
'Cause the DRRR!! version already have the PV of Complication.
I received another DRRR!! related order recently XD
Mobile Cleaner - Set A + Set C
Release date: 2010.09.16
Set A:
01. Shizuo Heiwajima
02. Celty Sturluson
Set C:
01. Izaya Orihara
02. Anri Sonohara
Price: ￥683
I didn't order the Set B which is obviously Masaomi Kida + Mikado Ryugamine. But now I'm regretting it, they're so cuuuute, I want Masaomi's!!!!!!!! Those straps match so much with my two DS haha, though Izaya's would match a red DS best but don't have it so a pink one will do =p
Ah, I was surprised to get it so early, within a week, while I used SAL <(^o^ )>
Here are the original samples.
I love Chibi/SD so I had to get those straps. Same illustrations as the mascots hehe. Last time I said that they were smart to sale merchandises of Shizuo and Izaya separately lol. But somehow having Izaya and Anri together makes it weird, it reminds me of a "certain" anime that I finally finished to watch it (@_@ ) Guess that Shizuo + Celty makes more sense than Shizuo + Anri hahahaha
If you want them, they're still available at many stores~~
Now the other DRRR!! merchandises I've ordered but haven't arrived or haven't been released yet (in order of their release).
Izaya's Ring
Release date: 2010.08.05
Size: #13 (ring) / approx. 126 x 88mm (bromide)
Materials: metal (ring) / paper, with full color print (bromide)
Price: ￥1,575
I was right to wait a bit before placing my order, cause bigger order make the shipping fee cheaper fufu :D It will arrive with my plushies. Izaya's ring looks awesome, though that's his ring from the light novels cause I don't remember that it has that sort of shape, hasn't it
Durarara!! 3way standoff
First Press Limited Edition
Release date: 2010.09.22
Here's the three different editions of this game.
Regular Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
Price: ￥6,090
Limited Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
02. Pouch
03. UMD CDs
04. Izaya mascot
Price: ￥8,190
First Press Limited Edition:
01. Durarara!! 3way standoff
02. Pouch
03. UMD CDs
04. Izaya mascot
05. Shizuo mascot
Price: ￥8,190
If you ask me why did they do that, well Idk either... What I can tell you is that the Limited Edition and the First Press LE are more expensive than the RE but it was expected haha. The First Press LE was long ago sold out so there's no more choice to get it but from auction sellers like ebay. The LE might still be available, well not sure.
I ordered mine late because I didn't know whether to get it or not, so undecided (=_= )/ Actually I don't have a PSP, I mean I don't have my OWN PSP so I thought it'd be a waste to spend money on something that I wouldn't be able to play soon. But you see, the more I saw those mascots of Izaya and Shizuo, the more I wanted them, my bad XD Anyway I have no idea when I'll get my order, probably in two weeks, slooooow but cheaper lol. I'll take pic when it'll arrive (if I don't forget it).
As for the game itself, some people say it was good while others don't, I'll be judging it myself anyway... when I'll get a PSP first lol and I also hope it won't be too hard to understand it... My Japanese is really limited *sigh*
Durarara!! 3way standoff
Official trailer
Click to viewSomething you might not know, there were a fashion contest in pixiv for the commemoration of Durarara!! 3way standoff release.

48 pages woot~! Even though I ordered it, I'll not use it, never used these kind of merchandises. They've always meant to be my collection (like that upcoming Kuro's Collector Volume 1 Edition).
This schedule book is out of stock at Animaxis for now.
Shizuo & Izaya plushies
Release date: 2010.10.21
Plush A : Shizuo Heiwajima
Plush B : Izaya Orihara
Size: 250mm
Price: ￥3,150 (each)
Yaaaay plushies ♥♥♥ However... well I know they're "a little" ugly...
I believe that the final result will not be like these. I mean these are shots and shots don't give a proper picture (Speaking of shots, I'm not photogenic too ( ;>o<)/ ). Take a look at the back and side view of each plush, not the same as the front pics. I love how they make Izaya's clothes, actually Izaya's plush is cute, only his eyes looks weird IMO. (the color of his skin is due to the cam shot as well). Now as for Shizuo, his clothes, his eyes and his arms are a bit weird haha and really they should have made a better job.
Out of stock for a VERY long time, I think the only way to get these two plushies will be from Animate. Plushies are ♥ and they sold out faster than any other merchandises (^_^;;;) To tell you the truth, I was reaaaaaaaally lucky to get them, I was just checking Animaxis page by chance. I was looking for the lines from the DRRR!! figures (mascots) and I saw "Durarara!! Plush Toy Shizuo/Izaya", I immediately reserved them XD Well if they're as weird as those shots, especially Shizuo because I love Izaya's, then you don't really miss something... I'll take some pics of them when I'll get them, I used EMS so they're supposed to arrive fast (few days after the release date).
While we're at it, there're some other official plushies of DRRR!!, they're smaller. They were first introduced in Durarara!! Radio aka Duraraji!! # 14. (Oooooooooh the #16 is out *____* didn't notice, will be dling it right away~~ Konnidura XDD)
Release date: 2010.09.22
Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Mikado) & Kana Hanazawa (Anri)
Characters: Shizuo, Mikado, Izaya & Celty
Size: 12cm
I forgot where people are supposed to get them but if you want them, you have no choice but getting them from Japanese auctions like Yahoo! Auction. And IMO, Izaya and Shizuo's big plushies are cuter than these ones (^_^;;;;) Ah and nope I didn't order them.
Durarara!! 2011 Calendar
Broccoli Version
Release date: 2010.10.22
Size: approx. 200 x 200 x 9mm (whole item) / approx. 158 x 200mm (calendar part)
Specs: ring type desk-top calendar, front cover processed with metallic sheen, 14 sheets including the cover
Materials: metal, paper
Price: ￥1,575
Have already talked about them, see my previous entry :p
There're two other DRRR!! calendars, a total of 3 different calendars haha. Just like popular series from Shueisha XDDDD
Release date: 2010.10.xx
Release date: 2010.10.02
I only ordered the Broccoli Version. You can only get that third calendar from Animate only, which I can't. The illustrations are mostly duplicate from the two other calendars but I LOVE the cover, new and awesome illustration with all the main char, including Celty *__* though we don't see much of her.
All calendars are out of print and can only be purchased from Animate.
Trading Voice Mascots
Release date: 2010.11.04
Size: 50mm
Set: 6 mascots
Price: ￥4,410
Have already talked about them, see my previous entry for more info and pics :p
I used SAL, ordered it with the calendar, it will take forever to arrive *sigh* If I'm not mistaken with something else, those mascots are still available at some places so order yours quickly before they went out of stock or sellers from ebay get all of them lol.
Shizuo & Izaya "Good Night" Sheets
Release date: 2010.11.06
Material: Polyester suede
Size: 240cm x 150cm x 0.02cm
Price: ￥9,450 (each)
With these last two merchandises, now you know how much I love Durarara!!, huh? XDDDDD (though I ordered another item but no sample lol)
When I first saw them, I was bluuuuuuuushing SO HARD and besides I'm still blushing when I see them now <(^////^ <) How can you not be when your best two bishies are having such a pose and inviting you to... XDDDDDDDD Before I realized it, I'd already ordered both of them, I could NOT resist kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
From what I saw, Izaya's sheet is selling more than Shizuo's, well Izaya is having a "Come-with-me" look ♥♥♥ But Shizuo is also so... *can't describe with simple words* ♥♥♥ I will not be able to sleep at all... *dieeeeees*
Anyway it's now time to order them if you want to get them before they went out of stock. They're EXPENSIVE so think twice before placing your order!!! ￥9,450 is 83€ ($114), I can afford them so I did it but I admit that the price is *cough* (@__@ ) due to the UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH size, I assume. 240cm x 150cm is bigger than my single bed lol and it can't even fit a queen size bed hahahahah. I really wonder why did they make such a big size because yeah it is quite crazy if you think about it. Oh and... I didn't ask my Mom to watch DRRR!! because of these sheets, I mean because she'd definitely think I'm insane haha (don't worry, it's the usual me that you see now, I'm collecting every little thing whenever it has to do with things I love like TOO MUCH like Pikachu and DNA related =D). I asked her to watch it before knowing the existence of these sheets, which were last week's Tuesday.
Ok I'll stop fangirling but... but... can I say that DRRR!! is becoming more and more popular???? Coz they wouldn't have made sheets if DRRR!! were as popular as such an extent in the first place, would they? Could they consider a second season? PLEAAASE!!!! Though I didn't check it, I don't think the other "new" animes as much merchandises as DRRR!! does:: 3 different calendars like Shueisha's popular series (Bleach, Reborn!, Naruto, etc.), though they're all desktop but STILL ; PSP game ; plushies and now sheets. <~ rare series have sheets
Now that I think about it, I still haven't finished to write my 3 day report at Japan Expo *sigh* my first DRRR!! goods were fanmade. I didn't take a pic because I don't the original artist would want me to do so, so here're the pages were to see them:
Badges | Bookmark
I also got myself the Kuro's bookmark ♥ When I saw Izaya's badge and was going to ask the artist if she's made other DRRR!! badges, she immediately took a bag out with Shizuo's badge =D

I'm impressed by the sales!!!

I thought people wouldn't get SUMMER TIME GONE because of Mai-K's upcoming album, FUTURE KISS, but nah I was wrong, SUMMER TIME GONE sales are still running, I'm so relieved ♥ Please keep going a bit longer~~

OTHERS
I received another no-French order last week: Kamitsukitai aka I Want to Bite by Isaya Takamori-sensei (author) and Chigusa Kawai-sensei (illustrator).
I Want to Bite
Release date: 2010.08.18
Now I'm sure of it, every titles coming from Dokidoki will be available after a month in other online shops. Apparently you can get them online in time from Akadot Retail, that's their benefit. But well I don't want to get them from AR, I've tried it once before and really that's a waste of money if you don't live in USA cause the shipping cost is truly HIGH!!! However, AR hold lots of stocks, more than normal shops do like old titles, old mag, old merchandises which are still available. But personnally I don't advise you to get anything from them.
Anyway, back to to I Want to Bite. First, it was renamed from I Want to Bite You to I Want to Bite whcih I didn't realized before getting my copy lol. But "kamitsukitai" means both so never mind the title. Oh and I haven't read it, I'm busy with many other things right now, especially my studies, and I'd not start reading anything. Despite I did not read it, I can tell you few things. The chapters are short, I was kinda sad, I love loooooooong chapters the best haha and btw I rarely read oneshot fanfics (=.= ). I'm the type of person who loves long chapters.
Now about the illustrations, since I haven't read it I can't tell you further (^_^;;), Kawai-sensei's art is really beautiful, the insert illustration is awesome, too bad they didn't leave it in color as it was in the Japanese light novel. Oh and... hmmmmmmmm. This light novel is YAOI, not your mere shounen-ai or whatever, my first yaoi light novel lol but since it was illustrated by Kawai-sensei, I will read it. Anyway, as stated Kamitsukitai is a yaoi light novel and so the illustrations tend to that too ^_^;;;;;;;;; What I mean is I felt really but really really awkward to see yaoi scenes (2 pages) with Sensei's art... Ah! They're not hard (thank goodness XD) but yaoi.... <~ Mizu doesn't dislike BL, she likes shounen-ai but she's kinda disturbed by *cough* the view of you-know-what scenes
Tegami Bachi
Collector Volume 1 Edition
Release date: 2010.11.05
Yay! It's now available on Amazon, get your copy asap as I said last time for the collector volume 1 of Kuroshitsuji. Amazon doesn't write down the copies their suppliers can provide them.
Dans ce coffret collector en édition limitée, vous trouverez le volume 1 de Letter Bee et 5 cartes postales inédites
Contents:
Volume 1

I'm bothered by the contents... I mean if you compare it to Kuro's collector edition (=.= ) Ok let me explain it:
Kuroshitsuji: Volume 1 + bookmark + 5 postcards = 9,90€
Tegami Bachi: Volume 1 + 5 postcards = 8,95€
Is a bookmark supposed to cost 1€? \(>__< )/

Best Wishes!
Rica Matsumoto
hajimete no basho hajimete no kaze no nioi mm...
hajimete janai no wa kono dokidoki!
shinpin no kono chizu kushakusha ni naru koro oretachi
nee doko made susunderu kana?
koko dake no hanashi fuan hitotsu futatsu mittsu
demo tanoshimi wa kazoe kirenai!
mimi wo sumaseba natsukashii koe mirai kano koe
itsumo inottete kureteru
"kimi wa daijoubou!
nazeka daijoubou!
minna daijoubou!"
Yeah-he-he-hey arukidasou!
Yeah-he-he-hey hashicchao ka?
dokidoki wa sugu ni uzuuzu ni!
itemo tattemo irarenai ze!
I like the lyrics especially the chorus with "mimi wo sumaseba natsukashii koe mirai kano koe" ♥ Anyway I expected, opening themes songs by Matsumoto-san (aka Satoshi ♥) are the "BEST". I really love her opening and I'm loving Best Wishes more than Spurt!, Challenger! and Rival! XD I type the lyrics of the TV version, I can actually type the full opening but ermmm... the quality of the video with Matsumoto-san singing the full version Best Wishes! in live performance is bad and I can hardly recognize the hiragana (@__@ ) I may try to do it later because yeah that song is AWESOME, I'm loving it so very much ♥♥♥ Speaking of that, Rica-san sung the full version of Best Wishes! at the Pokémon event called "Housou Kinen".
Now about the video... THAT'S THE BEST POKÉMON OPENING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (though no humans appearance, no Satoshi XD) I've never seen an opening as good as this one before from any anime I've watched so far. OMGGGG really, I love it and I want a DVD of this video in the upcoming single please, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The Pokémon are in Black but once Satoshi will see them, they will turn in color!!! Great idea, right??? For those you don't know, they've done something similar before but not to that extent actually. Something similar = when their Pokémon evolves, they will appear in the evolve form in the openings/endings =D But this opening... this opening... it's so awwwww.
Here's the second version of Best Wishes! (from the episode 2):

Comparisons :D
Maybe I didn't watch it well enough but I didn't see this Pokémon, Chillarmy, in the episode 1 (?__? ) (though I watched it thrice)
Now the ending theme song is Kokoro no Fanfare, aired for the first time in the episode 3 :)

I'm sorry, I wrote these lyrics from a LQ video (again XD), I'll revise it later.
The song is sweeeeeeeet, it was sung by Aki Okui, it was expected hehe.
I love Kimi no Mune ni LaLaLa (Diamond & Pearl series) more ♥ and my fav ending is still Sokoni Soraga Arukara (Advanced Generation series) ♥♥♥
Putting this aside, the video is so ADORABLE, Pikachu & cie are so cute kyaaaaaaaa <~ Pikachu lover XDDDDD Ah also, Dento (Mamoru Miyano aka Masaomi from DRRR!! XD) is there too yaaaaaaaay ♥ (heart overdose lol). By the way, humans characters in the ending hahahahaha.
Summary of the episode 1:
Dr. Ookido plans to go to the region Isshu to meet Dr. Araragi and has asked Satoshi and his Mom to come with him. Once they arrived, a thunder hit Pikachu where a mysterious Pokémon appears before his and Satoshi's eyes: Zekrom. After meeting with Dr. Araragi, Pikachu got an examination and it seems that he'll be all right in no time. Afterwards, Satoshi meets Shooti, a new beginner in the Pokémon world who will be getting his first Pokémon from Dr. Araragi: he choses Tsutaaja, the Grass Pokémon because of his confident look making the two other starters, Pokabu (Fire) and Mijumaru (Water) sad, especially this last one. Pikachu is now fine and joined up with Satoshi who were talking with Shooti. They decided to make a match: Pikachu VS Tsutaaja. Though Shooti is a new trainer, Satoshi lost against him. For some reason, Pikachu couldn't use his electrical attacks such as Thunderbold, Volt Tackle and more importantly he was too tired to ever move as his normal self. Satoshi immediately carried Pikachu to D. Araragi to heal him and of course to find out what did happen to his beloved Pokémon. Pikachu actually got an overload of electricity. A black cloud reappears and Pikachu was hit by another overload of electricity... TO BE CONTINUED XD
Ok I'm lazy to type the summary of the next two episodes and made captures haha But really watch them, they're awesome, you really feel that they wanted to change it and do something more mature! And I'm seriously happy to hear that people who've lost interest in the anime are now watching this new series because of its awesomeness. The first episode was like a Pokémon movie, I was so shocked, they really did a great job~~*
