Earlier this afternoon, I managed to catch the movie at the cinema in Canal City Hakata. I was actually planning to do a post on Ooita first, but it’ll be better if I did this first while it’s still fresh in my mind.

I’m satisfied even though I’ve only slept 2 hours last night. If you knew what’s going on and what I did, you might say that I’ve gone nuts, but that doesn’t matter.
It’s been a long time since I last took a Purikura
My friend had to head to his part-time job again, so I settled dinner at an okonomiyaki shop nearby. It turned out that a surprise was awaiting me.
While I was waiting outside the shop for a seat, there was this family waiting too. A shop attendant came out to take orders, and when it came to my turn, I had to reveal the fact that I wasn’t Japanese. It was really nice of the shop attendant to speak slowly so that I could understand what he was trying to ask.
I arrived at Fukuoka International Airport this morning, and I’m currently at my friend’s house in Oomuta. The train ride from Hakata station took much longer than I expected. The train’s timetable stated for it to arrive at sometime around 10.50am, but it took almost half an hour longer than it’s scheduled time. This is the first time I’ve seen a train schedule in Japan delayed by such a difference.
This isn’t my first time heading over to Japan, but this is the first time I feel extremely excited, yet a little uneasy. After all, this is my first time leaving the country, alone. For 16 days too.
Figure it out from the following image.
If you can’t figure it out, look at the tags.
And if you still can’t figure it out, wait for another 2 to 3 weeks.
Besides Macross Frontier and Code Geass, I’ve not been watching any other anime, be it currently running or long completed. My anime drive has died down considerably, possibly due to fatigue from work and other factors. It’s no wonder why it’s been ages since I last wrote a post related to anime.
Hence, when tj han mentioned Xam’d in one of his 5-minute written rants about how crappy the current season anime is, I decided to give it a try. After all, his taste in anime and mine seem to be pretty similar, judging from recommendations from his posts in the past.
I was hooked.
He did make a half body appearance in chapter 279, but not a single word was spoken. Hence, 280 should be the official chapter in which Kei finally revives.
With the OP of the anime adapation of Tales of the Abyss being BUMP’s Karma, I was hoping for the ED to be something done by BUMP too. Hence, when I learned that the ED, Bouken Suisei, will feature the vocals of Enomoto Kurumi, I felt a little disappointment.
However, on closer inspection of the song’s background, I realised that BUMP is actually somewhat involved. Fujiwara Motoo, who writes all of BUMP’s tunes and almost all the lyrics, plays the role of a co-producer of the song. Together with MOR, whom I have no idea who that is, they’ll compose the tune as well as craft out the lyrics.
