つづき！

So to continue on from the last post. The rest is here (under the cut). The daily's will be posted when I get back tonight (still have to go to dinner with family, meh.). I hope this will entertain you until then, lol. (& make up for my absence. Sorry for being so half assed...) So here it is!:

Merry Christmas!

I'm back so I'll be posting manga tonight & so on. To everyone at TM: Thank you! My amazing nakama! I'll grope you all extra hard for the holidays~ (etc? Hohoho.) So! I didn't know what to get you all as a Christmas present on here. I already shared the Starry Sky patch so I was thinking of uploading and sharing the Winter season game but decided against it (I might not be able to share the patch for it later (if we get it) lol.) So there isn't really anything extraordinary I could give you all but; this is what I came up with (under the cut - hope you like it):

KIMONOS

Well, I think I shall start occasionally sharing some music. Got any genres you prefer? Tell me! For now it's all indie and vocaloid, lol. So to start off I'll share music from a relatively new band; KIMONOS. You may know some of the members from older bands, but this band formed this year and has released one single ("Almost Human" - included) and this album; "KIMONOS". The bands info and album download below (please buy it if you like it?):

Info:
"Kimonos is a Japanese indie band formed in 2010 by Leo Imai (LEO 今井) and Shutoku Mukai (向井秀徳) from Zazen Boys.

Their music is a blend of vintage synths, post-punk riffs, heavy beats, and folk lyricism. Both cold and passionate, stoical and decadent, futuristic and nostalgic; their debut album is a fitting soundtrack to the manic intensity of Tokyo City.

Drummer Greg Saunier from Deerhoof and bassist Ichiro Yoshida from Zazen Boys also make ripping guest appearances on the record.

Album artwork contains excerpts of `Piano` (1926) by Nakamura Daizaburo, used with kind permission of the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art." - Maria from wordpress (w/ my grammar fix.)

Starry☆Sky - English Patch

Starry☆Sky ~in Spring~ English patch released by "anonymous" translator! Oh how this has pleased me! My kanji isn't perfect so to finally be able to get everything my sexy Suzuya says is a great joy. Christmas has come early this year! Being a fan of BL and otome games & a major Kazuaki fan, I have loved this game and wished for a patch for so long! So at any rate, /hoping/ that those of you who stumble across my page are also fans of the game, I can't resist sharing the download link:

Download at Megaupload: Starry Sky ~in Spring~ English patch
MegaUploads shut down. (Google it.) Might re-up to MediaFire in the future.

We can only hope for the rest to be patched. Psp would also be awesome (not to be greedy, lol!)

Ofuro!

Sharing a historical time warping manga about Roman and Japanese baths! It's actually award winning, too, lol. I read this one recently and it made me laugh so hard. The art quality is good & the story is hilarious. It's 2 volumes long and really worth a read. So for those 37 of you that marked it on your wish-list in Baka-Updates; I hope this helps. Also! If you enjoy it, please buy it! The mangaka needs support. ;D (& on a quick side note: I am going on vacation for my BDay tomorrow. I'll be away for a few days so don't think I abandoned this blog or anything. xD;) Enjoy!

Classic Raws

Well~ I have a hard drive full of raw classic mangas (somewhere) so! I've decided to start uploading and posting them. I'll mainly post BL but from time to time you can expect a shoujo or two. I'll probably post some non-classics as well, for the hell of it. I wanted my first edition to be of the most famous BL classic, Kaze to Ki no Uta, but, well, all the raws are on that hard drive and I'm not in the mood to search the house for it atm, so it's taking time to download and upload myself. But! I'm still sharing a great classic BL. It's a shorter story with only 3 volumes. The art is amazing and the story is great. Hope you all like it!
