So...hi. It's been forever, hasn't it?

I kind of forgot about this site, tbh. Things were pretty chaotic in my life for a while. But yeah, I passed the JLPT N2, started and finished Supernatural in the year of our Lord 2024, and signed up for a pilgrimage. But like, who cares, that's in the past, let's talk about the future.

I...want to rank AKB48's whoooole discography! Theater stages, singles, albums, the whole thing. First I thought I'd do it video format, but that'd probably be asking too much of my computer. So I'm going to do it in written form, which is probably a death sentence to my hopes of an audience. But it's something that I want to try, regardless of who might be there to witness it, I think it's a good exercise and a good way to reconnect with AKB48, which I've kind of neglected in the last couple of months.

I still have to figure out the specifics, but I will be back to scream into the void about AKB48's first ever theater stage, and we'll get this party started.

Two pretty busy weeks. I sat the JLPT last Sunday. I started with the reading section, then went back to do the vocab/grammar section when there was an hour left. Thank God I remembered to bring a watch because there was none to be found in the classroom. I managed to answer every question, though I was unsure about number 40-something until the last second. Now there was only the listening section left and in the mock tests it was always the easiest part, so I thought I had it. Did they have to come for me like that? Jesus Christ. People on Reddit were saying this year the listening was especially hard, but I'm not sure if this is something they say every year or if it really is true. Anyway, I looked up the answers later in the week and I think I might still pass it, the results will only come out in late January. We'll see.

This Friday I froze my butt off in line waiting to see Babymetal, but I think I looked pretty cute in my red skirt. Wargasm opened the show. Milky Way is hot, but it didn't quite make up for the mediocre songs. My back was hurting from standing up for over 3 hours, half of them in the freezing cold, the other surrounded by less than pleasant smelling guys, I was almost regretting it when the girls finally entered the stage. Su's voice is amazing, it really is like she swallowed the damn CDs, that's how stable and powerful she is even moving around like that. I especially loved Momo's part in Metali, her moves are so cool. And Moa...Moa is just SO sweet, I know it sounds like bullshit but I think she looked at me and smiled during Monochrome. I could have died right there. There was this asshole in front of me, he just stood there with his arms crossed, sometimes pretending to yawn to his friend. I hope he got some serious hearing damage from how much I screamed in his ear. 邪魔をする奴は即座に消え失せろ(¬_¬). I would've loved to hear Light and Darkness live, my favourite song from the new album, but they hadn't sung it in this tour at all, so I knew it probably wouldn't happen. I had a feeling they would sing Syncopation that night though, and they did, so that's nice!

Week 1

I'm kind of freaking out over the JLPT exam I'm taking this December. It's my first time taking it and in a fit of hubris I decided to go for N2, which I'm now regretting because if I'd just stuck with N3 I'm sure I would've passed it without any problems. I passed a mock test before, but I know that I'll be super anxious when it's time for the real deal. I should be studying like crazy, but I'm so burnt out, plus I need to work on my thesis...

So I thought I'd play a VN in Japanese, to at least keep in contact with the language. This time I chose Clannad. It's a little bit different from the games I usually play, but I've always heard it's one of those must-read visual novels, apparently it changed people's lives. What is they say, "Clannad is life"? I could use something that turns my world upside down, like Umineko did.

I'm excited about it! I won't get to play much this weekend because of my brother's birthday (I'm baking him a brigadeiro cake as soon as I'm done with this post!), but it's nice to have something to look forward to!
