Ever since that day when one of the website staff messed up and revealed the first visual for the new stage before it was even announced, I knew I had to see this stage. Mikazuki Munechika is not only one of my favourite swords, but Suzuki Hiroki's Mikazuki in the stage is my favourite stage portrayal of … Continue reading Touken Ranbu ~Hiden Yui no Me no Hototogisu~ (spoiler free)

Idolish7 x Animate Cafe
On February 27th I finally managed to visit the Idolish7 Animate Cafe in Nagoya, after having to cancel a couple of times previously. The tables in the cafe each feature a different character, and I was really happy when I was led into the room and straight to Nagi's table. He's my favourite character and … Continue reading Idolish7 x Animate Cafe
A year with Gingadan
On February 25th 2017, I took a day trip to Tokyo to go to Bancho Boys 1st Live. I had spontaneously joined the fanclub and bought a ticket due to falling in love with Yasui Kazuma, but had decided it would be worth the trip since I was also familiar with Nozaki Yutaka and Akira … Continue reading A year with Gingadan
Gingadan 1st one-man Live
I'm going to try not to talk too much about how much I truly love this group, because it's coming up to their year anniversary (and therefore mine) and I'm planning a long post for that. So all I will say is that this was a very special day for me, and for them also. … Continue reading Gingadan 1st one-man Live
Translation: JUNON March 2018 Gingadan
I translated this interview from March 2018's edition of JUNON magazine. The interview was done with them between the first and second shows of the Bancho Boys Christmas Live on December 23rd 2017. Kihara: The live was so much fun! Sawada: The enjoyment far exceeded my expectations (laugh). I could really see that everyone was … Continue reading Translation: JUNON March 2018 Gingadan
Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium
On my last day of winter vacation and after barely leaving my apartment for three days, I decided to take a visit to the Nagoya Aquarium and make the most of my final day of freedom. Nagoya and Aichi in general has some pretty fun and interesting places, and the aquarium happens to be my favourite … Continue reading Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium
Top 10 Touken Danshi
This was actually really hard to put together. Even with 10 swords in mind, actually ranking them took me a long time. I imagine if I actually played the game, it would have taken me even longer, so I'm glad that I don't so at least I'm a little limited in who I can choose. … Continue reading Top 10 Touken Danshi
Happy New Year 2018
First of all, Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great time, whether they were alone at home or out celebrating with friends and family. I spent the last day of 2017 doing a little cleaning around my apartment, playing Ensemble Stars while watching stages and then talking to my mum for a while. … Continue reading Happy New Year 2018
A look back at 2017
2017 comes to an end tomorrow, and as usual I looked back on everything I did this year to write a review of the year. In 2017, I saw lots of stages, had some amazing experiences with my oshi, and fell head over heels in love with a new group. When I looked back on … Continue reading A look back at 2017
Touken Ranbu 2.5d Cafe Osaka
On December 27th me and Tina took a day trip to Osaka to go to the 2.5d Cafe there. The interior of the cafe was basically the same as the one in Tokyo (I'm certain they just cleared out all of the decor and equipment from the one there and shipped it all to Osaka) … Continue reading Touken Ranbu 2.5d Cafe Osaka
