Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
I gave up trying to diss K-ON! after I realised how much I suck at the guitar. Now, I don’t even give a hoot if there’s a second, third of fourth season, or how many people ravage the music instrument store for that Fender Jazz bass or Gibson Les Paul.
Here’s a cover of Island in the Sun that some guys from RIUVA and I did. Yeah, we sucked more than what the band did in the first episode of K-ON!.
My music taste tends to vary after some time. 2 years ago, I was really into anime songs and mainstream Japanese pop music. However, now that my music appetite has gone down a different path, I’m intending on selling some of the CDs that I bought much earlier on. While I don’t keep all my CDs in their shrink wraps like Darkmirage does, I usually just rip them once, flip through the booklet, and place it back on the shelf. As such, you can be sure that my CDs are generally in good, near mint condition.
Prices here are stated in Singapore dollars. I will only accept local Singapore buyers. Alright, here goes.

While the change of the event’s venue for this year’s EOY from Singapore Expo to the National Library has certainly made improved the accessibility, it compressed the event area. It’s common for cosplay events to be packed with many cosplayers and even more photographers, but this time round, it felt unbearably packed. There were times when I wanted to snap a shot, but due to the cramped area around the cosplayer, even waiting behind the wall of photographers for a turn to snap a shot would be out of the point.
I’m not talking about the typical Christmas tunes that are blasted everywhere even a month before Christmas arrives. I’m talking about songs to suit my Christmas mood. I’ve never celebrated Christmas, and I don’t intend to either. What’s up with Santa, log cakes, turkeys and Christmas presents? It’s all overly commercialised. Businessmen are laughing all the way to the bank as I write.
When I think of Christmas, I think of chilling weather and snow. The scene of a snowy peaceful town appears in my mind. That’s all I can relate Christmas to; Winter. I don’t care about the food, presents, some red old man or even the birth of a religious figure. However, there’s no winter here.
Some might think that it’s pathetic that I have to spend Christmas eve and the actual day alone at home facing the computer instead of partying outside, but with the right music to accompany me, it’s all good. In this event, sleepy.ab couldn’t be more suitable.
夢の花+inside
Remember the time, not too long ago, when many went crazy over Mio and began raiding music instrument stores for her lefty bass? Some could afford the money to make their purchase, but many of the other (diehard) Mio fans could only stand by the sidelines, watching helpless as others obtain their Fender Jazz bass while all they can play is air guitar. That was pretty entertaining.
Then, I saw this.
Now, I’m sharing the emotions of the other poor Mio fans. I think it might be love at first sight, like how Yui reacted when she first saw Guitar in the store.
