Bandai Twist Action Form

So here it is 18cm Kamen Rider Den-O by Bandai @ 4,500 Yen (price may be different depends on the shop)

I just got it yesterday from the shop i usually order my figures; i havent watch kamen rider den o series, the only kamen rider series that i watched is kamen rider black and thats long long time ago.



The reason i bought this figure is i wanna experience the new body type, this body of kamen rider is covered with leather syntesic suit-of some sort which hide all its joints.

This is the only pic at the moment, dont have mini studio for it (will take pic later on)

Now, for the review

Flexibility of this figure is quite alright, i'm not brave enough to do extreme pose since i cant determine how're the joints handle such pose (yet) so for now the flexibility is somewhat limited. I like the leather suit ! it makes the figure looks great ^o^

There are some paint missing here and there, but its a mass produced figure so yeah..i kinda expecting it, not a big of problem; for the character originality, i suppose it follows it quite well. The only thing that makes me sad is....the blade, it doesnt stick with the figure hand ToT

i'm thinking to customize the blade hilt so it will stick to the hand, but i dunno what to use...anyone have an idea ?

There isnt any stand for this figure, tho it may stand quite alright on its own. The accessories contains of 2 side bag(belt?) with his things, 2 side bag(belt?) empty, 1 sword, 4 extra hand (2 each for left and right)

Paint = 3/5
Flexibility = 2.5/5
Accessories = 3/5

JunJun

Profile :

Name : Li Chun/JunJun
Nationality : Chinese
Birthday : February 11, 1988
Hometown : Hunan
Height : more or less 168cm
Fav food : Banana
Likes : Scary things (ghost house) and thrill seeker







The latest addition in Morning Musume as the 8th gen. In 2005, she went auditioning for Super Girl in china, but she didnt win (which somehow made me glad) because soon after Tsunku♂ made a surprise private audition, 8th gen Morning Musume audition for the very first time outside Japan ! Even the members of Morning Musume are kept in dark about this audition.

The reason of why Tsunku♂ made this audition is because he felt its time for Morning Musume take another step in their publicity by taking Asian market. Oh before i forget, JunJun was never told that she was going into 8th gen audition, she's probably thinking that the audition was just another audition like the Super Girl audition; soon after she was called by Tsunku♂ to Japan.

Few of her family members actually against her decision to go to Japan, its because the usuall China vs Japan thingy which i prefer not to talk about. Luckly she's the type that doesnt give in, and she went to Japan ^ o ^


For the very first time, she watched a brief training of Hello Project concert which led her to met another chinese member of Morning Egg (another Hello Project team which consist of young generations) LinLin (Qian Lin). At that concert also, she was told that she's going to take part in the concert as Morning Egg member. Few days after she and LinLin called up by the staff to watch Tsunku♂ video in which he told them that they are choosen as the 8th gen members of Morning Musume (it shocked them until they are speechless and cried)

JunJun herself havent able to speak japanese(she was using a guide translator all the time), on the other hand LinLin was able to. JunJun went straight learning japanese soon after while doing dance and vocal training to catch up with the current members.

JunJun and LinLin acceptance led to a rage among japanese and chinese, because of the usuall China vs Japan. JunJun blogsite was filled with harsh words even curses from either Chinese and Japanese eventhough there are few that supports her too; She disable the comment and picture gallery in the blog after she replied to all that made the comments in a mature way (i forgot what she wrote but its "i dont care about how you think of me, but i dont like you insulting my country" or something similar).

In few long months, most of those who oppose her went missing and her supporter went raging up like volcano eruption (ok that was lame, but its close) even her supporter at a time was higher than the some of the other members.

As for me, i already fallen for her from the start so i dont get surprise that she's doing well but she's only given a little amount of singing lines ToT but nvm, i know that she's going be one of the memorable members in Morning Musume; who's able to deny a cute girl like her ?


Wow..this has become my longest blog post...oh well i ♥ JunJun ♪♪♪

Fugu


A deadly japanese food made from fugu also known as Puffer fish; there are few types of fugu but the deadliest one called Tora fugu (Tora = Tiger). Fugu are deadly because of their well known poison and there arent any antidote to cure it (yet). The posionous parts of fugu are liver, ovaries, and the skin.


Fugu sashimi, there are rules that you need to understand before you order it :
  • Dont rush the chef, else he might forgotten to cut any hazardous piece
  • Dont be afraid to eat the fugu, the fugu chef will feel insulted if he/she catch you being afraid because he/she takes a long time to get the liceanse.
  • Dont take fugu from other people plate (if its not a full set like the above) the chef most probably calculate the amount of poison that can be handle by certain person thus taking out other people fugu would unbalance the amount of poison.
  • When you feel numbness on your lips, dont get panic......its normal, tho it is the 1st sign of fugu poisoning; unless the effects are spreading, hope the hospital is near.

Fugu sashimi could cost between $20-$200+/set. Why is it expensive?
  • The chef need a liceanse (which could take 10years+)
  • Only available on certain months (around winter)
  • Cutting the fish need a special knife called fugu-hiki
But dont need to worry so much about eating them, scientist at Nagasaki Univ. have found a way to breed non-toxic fugu tho there are some parties that doubting about it being poisonless...for me, i think it takes out the challange of death/semi death posibility from eating fugu.

I have never tried fugu dish before, but i'm going to try it someday later when i see any liceansed shop, tho perhaps i will need to sign in my last will letter (just in case...)

Day of birth : 4 July
Hometown : Okinawa (yay, my name mentioned....lol)
Height : more or less 178cm

A multi talented super star, a singer, songwriter, movie cast, seiyuu (voice actor) of Genesis in Final Fantasy Crisis Core (even the Genesis appearance based on Gackt)

i dont really have plenty information about this guy, but what i know is he's capable of using many kinds of instruments.........piano, guitar, saxophone, violin , almost anything.

He's been in 2 band before..the 2nd band was Malice Mizer(MM) as vocalist (i forgot about the 1st band but he was the vocalist too) *The 1st band is Cain's Feel Credit to Anon. in 1999, he left MM to pursue his solo career; I cant talk bout gackt without talking bout Kami (the drummer in MM); Gackt and Kami reportedly quite close (stop that yaoi thinking) i assume that they are bff @_@ Kami died in june 1999 (shortly after Gackt leaving MM), he died because of subarachnoid hemorrhage at age 26.

Gackt had a wife, but they divorced after a while because of numerous intimidation by Gackt hard fan and personal constraint)

Yaguchi Mari

Profile:

Name : Yaguchi Mari
Nickname : Marripe
Nationality : Japanese
Birthday : January 20, 1983
Hometown : Yokohama
Height : more or less 145cm
Hates : milk
Fav season : winter
Personal blog : http://ameblo.jp/mari-yaguchi/





So thats just a short profile of her, what i like about her is that she's loud (dont be fooled by the pic and thinking that she's a calm-feminim type of person). her character always makes people laugh (at least smile). She's unofficially a person in morning musume that keep up spirit from time to time and her laugh, yes laugh..she's not giggling like common girls; when she laugh, she do it loudly without hesitation.

After her discharge from morning musume because of a scandal (having a bf is forbiden for every morning musume members) in 2005, she appears more into TV shows leading her to her own Tv show "Yaguchi hitori", movie and drama as support and main char.

Currently, she's making a solo debut..it relieve me alot, she's born for singing, and i know she's capable making a hit ^ o ^


hopefuly her solo album will be available at store nearby, since even i'm a fan...i dont actually own any merchandise of her...not having CC & Paypal holds me up many times >__<

Lucky * Star


Lucky * Star, a comedy anime that quite loose at a time but sometimes taking a heavy words understand only by anime lover~

cast :

Konata Izumi
a perfect otaku~ that would prolly define 99% of her personality. i cannot express any more words beside that..oh and she's uber cute (well at least for me) ♥♥♥

Kagami Hiiragi
a counter part of konata, she and konata is somewhat close friends...i suspect even closer to konata rather than her sister. she's the only main char that arent in the same class with the rest. from what i've seen...she's really a tsundere (ah ha, another word only commonly heard by otaku)

Tsukasa Hiiragi
the younger sister of kagami, she's somewhat a combination of konata and kagami -1 points from every stats; she's quite slow, not actually smart, inherit konata characteristic for laziness but kinda cute in a way ^^

Miyuki Takara
the main char that doesnt get enough love~ she's the top grade material..come from a wealthy family, high intelegency, the only main char that have female curves, and kind; but all of those traits doesnt help her alot in gaining personal fans which quite odd~ i guess its because even that she's one of the main char, she doesnt get enough show time..
There are plenty of support characters, but all of them are more than capable lining up against the main chars.

the anime consist of 24 episodes which i 100% recommended. this anime actually capable in giving brief information on how people(otaku) live in japan eventho it doesnt actually represent all of them but if you manage to watch this anime..then you wouldnt be surprise with common otaku personality ^ o ^
