Diary of an 11 year old

One evening, while I was at home doing my homework, I heard some people shouting outside. I ignored it and decided to continue solving those horrible calculus problems. Oh wait. I’m supposed to be in primary five. I can’t even do ratios, much less integrate. Anyway, I said what the fucking job and continued with my homework, whatever it may be.

Ok.

I lied.

I was dying to know what happened outside.

So I died.

And went to heaven, which comes complete with Hiro and Sae.

Henrietta and the boob fairy not included. That is a pleasure only hell can offer. Ero no Tsukaima. Tsk tsk.

It's amazing that i'm already getting a bit chubby after just 2 days, must be the high carbo meals served in the cookhouse. Well, at least it's FOC.

綾子ラブ！Seriously, i don't fanboy enough about Ayako.

And Rierie endorses CJ7, perfume and softener. I didn't know that CJ7 actually got renamed Miracle 7 in the Japanese release. So the mention of a Chinese geographical feature is too much for a fanatically nationalistic Japanese audience to take? Hehe. Btw, why is Rierie doing this for free instead of negotiating lucrative endorsement deals? Oh, i forgot she's too busy monster hunting. And that's why i wub her.

Random Seiyuu Rumours

Trawling Japanese forums netted some fishy trivia.

Rumour #1
Goto Yuko uploads pictures of herself bathing onto her blog.

To verify its veracity, I plowed through a hundred of her blog posts and found this:
Verdict: True, but I somehow felt cheated.

At least I found these as well.
Rumour #2
Noto Mamiko’s pantsu fell onto the balcony of the apartment downstairs when she hung them out to dry. She was too embarrassed to go ask for them so she left them where they were. This happened while she was still a trainee in seiyuu school.

I couldn’t verify that rumour with DNA sampling or even a pic of the garment in question, so these will have to do instead.
Verdict: I sure hope it’s not true. Poor Mamimami…

The mini-auction that followed this post on the forum was hilarious though. I think the bid for Mamimami’s pantsu went up to ¥40,000.

Rumour #3
Tanaka Rie has secretly married ZeoiNagePotato.

From left to right: Rie’s simple and elegant wedding dress; Rie just before boarding the shuttle for their honeymoon to the moon; Rie channeling her Maria persona as she enjoys her new life as Mrs. ZeoiNagePotato.

Verdict: 100% True. I should know.

Rumour #4
Horie Yui’s room is so dirty she dared not call the repairman when her air-conditioner broke down. Btw, Mamimami has got a pigsty of a room as well.

Does she look messy to you?

Verdict: This rumour is confirmed by Horie’s Wikipedia page, and we all know Wiki is the Most Reliable Source on the Internet. Anyway, women are messy, so it’s no surprise.

Shimizu Kaori　　　¥2,400,000
Itsuki Yui　　　¥2,300,000
Fukuen Misato　　　¥2,200,000

Verdict: Who would’ve thought Belldandy’s earnings might be twice that of Yakumo’s? Where the hell did they get these figures in the first place? The figures column looks like a sine wave rotated 90 degrees though.

31　Goto Yuko（7）Hirohashi Ryou（2）
30　Kaida Yuko（5）
29　Yahagi Sayuri（7）

I have no idea how comprehensive this list is, but it appears Mamimami rules the world of female seiyuu. No surprises there i guess. I’ve added a pic of her and her ichigo there on the right to like, celebrate her victory or whatever.

Need to point out that it's just a count of the number of shows though. Doesn’t matter whether a show had 3 or 300 episodes, it still counts as one. Kind of like Legolas fragging the elephant. And I believe the list even includes appearances as Passerby A and Female Student B, which explains the unexpectedly high numbers for relative newcomers like Katou Emiri who spent a few years playing various nameless roles here and there.

Btw, by my count, Tanaka Rie just missed making the list with 20+ shows.

This is an ad for Fuji Safari Park. The voiceover was by Goto Yuko, who’s Hikari in SA this season. It’s freaking hilarious, got to hear it to appreciate the awesomeness. I couldn’t make out one line, but it goes like this:

本当に本当に本当に本当に
ターイーガーだ
近すぎちゃて
どうしお
？？？サファリパーク

It’s really really really really
A TI – GE – R
It’s come too close
Oh what should I do?
(Cries the???) Safari Park

I’m guessing maybe the park’s new attraction is a tiger or something. I might be late to the party, but I’m so glad I got myself a nico nico account today. Oh ya, you’ll need to register to watch the video if you haven’t already.
