Mizushima Hiro
So Mizushima Hiro has apparently left his agency (Ken-On) to pursue a writing career. There is, of course, debate as to whether his agency let him go or he left willingly. I'll vote for the latter. While, yes, his agency was upset by his "secret marriage" to Ayaka and it's dangerous to piss your talent agency off (just ask Suzuki Ami), I feel like ( Read more... ) -
花ざかりの君たちへ
I just finished watching Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e (HanaKimi for short, "For You in Full Bloom" in English). I was reluctant to watch the show for a long while, however, it came strongly recommended from my friend Mao (read: she wouldn't stop hounding me until I watched it) so I eventually caved and watched it.

Please Explain

Liam
Liam (my desktop PC for those not aware of the names of my PC's) has been acting wonky lately. It's not appreciated. He started freezing in the middle of the night on Sunday. Today, he started just crashing. Fantastic. I came very close to buying a new PC at Office Max today actually. But...that particular model has a history of crashing constantly ( Read more... ) -
Kra
Someone should tell Kra that their new single, "Ame-Oto wa Chopin ni Shirabe", sounds like porn music at several points. Most notably at the beginning...
