I mentioned that I wanted to do a post on the packaging of LEVEL 3. Here it is.

I got something in the mail today. ^_^

So today we have a radio rip of Perfume's new single song, and a like split-second teaser for the PV.

:/

( thoughts )

So, my wait until more releases in August are announced strategy has been successful, and I mass-ordered some stuff this morning. Both limited editions of Kisumai's next single, WANNA BEEEE!!!/Shake it up, and the limited edition of Perfume's next single, Spending all my time, coming out 8/15, and androp's new single coming out the next week. <3 But now I have just spent about $90 on CDs. Of course, I spent more than that on the Kis-My-Mint DVD, which hasn't even come yet. It might come today! Or tomorrow! Or next week... Waiting...

Now watch that Arashi releases something in August but doesn't announce it until July or something, lol. I feel like Arashi has been announcing their releases all fairly close to the release date recently. Or at least they wait later than other groups do.

I'm looking forward to Beginners, and to hearing what WANNA BEEEE!!! will sound like. I want to know what kind of song requires all caps, extra 'E's, and excessive exclamation points.

It hit me just now, while listening to "Come back to me" that I've been a fan of Arashi for over 1 year. It's probably been about a year and a half by now, even. I've watched them through their year of releasing a ridiculous number of singles, I've watched them release one album, and in a month I'll have watched them release two albums. There's not really much of a point to all of this, but this is mostly a journal for me here, a documentation of my experiences.

The above aside, this has been feeling like a Perfume day for me. I changed my desktop background to a Perfume one. I had been using the previous one for a few months, anyway. Also, the previous one was largely white, and this one is largely black, which is good for me, since I tend to be a bit oversensitive to light. I have my laptop's screen set to the lowest brightness setting, and it's still too bright! I wish it would go lower. I was also watching some tv appearances Perfume had made and remembering how funny they are. I more and more want to buy one of their live dvds... I'm probably going to go look at prices after posting this...

It feels like it's been too long since I talked about video games in here, most likely because I haven't been taking the time to play as much. I don't remember the last time I got a game either. No wait, yes I do. It was Recettear. The last time I talked about actually playing video games on here was last October... I do play them still. More now that I'm on break from school, but it's been awhile since I've done anything that felt like it was worth posting about. It probably also helps that I don't talk much about games with people, especially on the internet.

I haven't changed my icons on here in a really long time, but whenever I look at icons I don't see any I feel like using. I kinda want to, though...

To depress you less, I feel like I am being bombarded with good news about my favorite music groups lately. All the things I'm hearing about Perfume and capsule lately because of Nakata Yasutaka 2 in 1 month have been fun. (Perfume's releasing a single, capsule's releasing an album, Nakata Yasutaka produces the music for both, ergo Nakata Yasutaka 2 in 1 month) And to make the month even better for Perfume, one of their songs was chosen to be used in the movie Cars 2. \(^_^)/ I'm so happy for them.　Here, listen to how awesome they are. So awesome that watching their videos distracted me from writing this post. And just recently, it was announced that Arashi would be releasing a dvd in June and a new album in July. I already preordered the dvd, and will most likely buy the album. <3

So I'm a little sad after my last post, because no one asked me any questions. D: So I'll try again on this post: Ask me any questions you want about anything in the comments for this entry, and after a few days/when I've gotten enough questions, I'll make a post answering all the questions I feel comfortable answering. No limit on the number of questions you can ask. Examples of questions to inspire you: Ask me the kind of things you'd like to see in an intro post, ask me what's my favorite ____? (Although I'm bad at answering those kinds of questions...), ask me about my personal life, ask me about my fandoms, ask about my educational background, ask me what I like about things I like, if you don't know what I like, ask me what I like.

I think I might rework some of my tags soon since most of them are too vague and don't really tell you what specifically I'm talking about in a post. Good thing I don't have too many entries on lj.

I watched the new episode of Misfits just now, and I'm not even going to say anything about the episode itself. Why?

OMFG, THE PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT EPISODE, OMFG. SO OMFG THAT I HAD TO FIND IT ON YOUTUBE JUST TO WATCH IT AGAIN. That is all.

But no, good episode. Seems like they're following last season a bit in the formatting, by having most episodes focus on one of the characters. It's a really good way for them to build up the characters, I think.

This day in general has been pretty good. Starting with: my order of Arashi's Hatenai Sora and Perfume's Game arrived today!( Geeking out over packaging, my beloved hobby )

I also went to see a play at my college. It was The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard. <3 Tom Stoppard is wonderful. If his name sounds familiar, it might be because of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I was laughing and inwardly squeeing through most of the show. ^_^

And, I might as well mention it, just because, but I started watching the Togainu no Chi anime last night. IDK why, except because I keep seeing the franchise mentioned around the place so much that I was curious and felt like checking it out. It's kinda so-so. It can be entertaining, but partially in the sense of entertaining where I mock whatever I find ridiculous. Like how they keep running off on their own all the time to places that're super dangerous where inevitably, people will try to kill them as part of the competition in which defeating people by killing them is perfectly acceptable. Also, drugs are bad! Of course, since I'm watching it alone, I'm only joking to myself... Well, considering that how quickly I went through all the episodes available, clearly I enjoy it. Might be mostly because it's based off of a bl game. Just maybe.
