Especially after reading comments about that Masakiss photobook. Megane, sunglasses, necktie, blazer, American Football, sleepy face, BATH SCENE etc.

...I don't know if I should be amused that half of those \"KAWAII! SEKUSHII!\" comments actually came from mothers. (One of them said she let her kids take an afternoon nap before looking through the book XD;; another one looked through it with her kids) But it does lessen the guilt of drooling at an underaged teen. XD

And have a kitty!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I don't like most things moe but... I cannot resist the kitty. :( no I have never seen an episode of the series<\/s><\/small><\/center>

Continuing from Part 1 after two months 8D horrible procrastinator<\/s> It's here, btw<\/a>.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata, where are you looking while walking?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I have something to talk with you and was about to call you, but you were flailing around here and there.

But I was looking for you<\/i> and I didn't have your phone number... :(

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Maa, it doesn't matter. It you're going to wander around aimlessly, you might as well come with me.

YES YES so we go off to watch the fireworks together and he goes, \"Beauuuutifuuuul\" aaaand when I agree:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Idiot, that's not it. I wasn't talking about the fireworks.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You're rather slow... What I said just now... was about you.

\\:D\/

Then he says that there are a lot of couples watching the fireworks and if I don't like it, I can always look at him instead whut.

PHONE NUMBERS GETTO TIME
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You've come this far, so show me that you'll be the National Champions.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I don't mind cooperating with you if it's for aiming for the finals.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Be grateful that I'm sparing some of my valuable time to take you out for practice.

=_________________________= b-but PHONE NUMBERS GETTO (I never really bothered to call Housei for practice lol)

The next day, I hear him play his violin on the roof. I've always wondered why the competitors from other schools (minus Amano Gakuen, maybe) are allowed to roam around in Seisou...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> This is probably the first time I'm hearing Tougane playing a violin solo...<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Are you crying?

Again? Why, self.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> The road for the ensemble (finals) has been opened for you guys, but I still have the solo.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Until I stand at the top of the solo section, my summer still hasn't ended.

So I cheer him on!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Yeah, the one who'll win is going to be me.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Since Kisaragi (Ritsu) wouldn't be taking part in the solo section, I expected that it would be an uninteresting battle but...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Myouga Reiji.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chikai:<\/b> Have you seen his stage (performance)?

Yeah, I tell him that Myouga's a strong opponent.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That's why I'm going to be even busier from now on.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Do you understand?

:( :( :(

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Are you lonely, Kohinata?

But you'll be around when I call you up for practice, so it's all okaaay :D

Upon visiting him another day, he continues his talk of \"I'll take you back to Jinnan\" lolol
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What's with that surprised face? Did you think that I've given up?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Jinnan boys on my school's roof. Seriously, why are they allowed there?

Anyway one day I decide to call him up for practice. (To gain more rabu-rabu points hur hur.)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Hello... ah, it's regarding practice, right? Well, which place would it be?

For some reason I prefer the studio, or maybe it's because I'm kinda sick of the same places after playing Corda 1 and four versions of Corda 2...

Then it's time for the solo finals, which are held before the ensemble finals.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Tomorrow Chiaki will be participating; to decide on the winner of the solo section...<\/i>

He conveniently calls... or was I the one who called him? I don't remember ;w;
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Yeah, I'm at a nearby studio at the moment. If there's no sound coming from a speaker, it won't feel like a stage presence.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's already late, so go to bed.

I keep silent :E

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Oi, are you listening? Kohinata?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Tougane has helped me with a lot of things.<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> I'll go and bring him a little midnight snack...<\/i>

I have to, because if I don't, there'll be a cracked screen. (Read: end of relationship lol game)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata! You came after all...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Even though you are busy with preparations for the finals...

He then says that he doesn't mind me coming, but that he doesn't have any time for me. I say that it doesn't matter at all.

So he checks the food that I brought for him.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Salmon onigiri?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> But this is a good smell... that's right, I didn't even take my lunch. I've totally forgotten.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's delicious... you've improved in cooking again, didn't you?

He goes back to playing after that, so I clap my hands :D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...Hey, you don't have to applaud at every single thing, you know.

BUT I MUST CHEER FOR MY FUTURE KARESHI :(
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
So I pick the first line, which is asking him if there's anything I could do for him. (The second's just wondering if you're a pain in the butt XD;;)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> There's nothing.

Noooothing I can do for him, he says. ;_;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> The one standing on the stage is me, not you.

Hey I have my final performance too! D:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, since you're saying that you feel like doing something no matter what, you could at least give me a victor's kiss. (<--- joking lol)

OF COURSE I'M GONNA TAKE HIS JOKE TOO FAR :D :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Option #1:<\/b> If that's the case, then I'll give you a kiss.
Option #2:<\/b> It's too embarrassing...!
Option #3:<\/b> I'll give it to you after<\/i> you've become the victor.

Obviously I went with #1 =w=

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata...!

Koei doesn't do direct kiss CGs, but I'm pretty convinced that this was on the lips and not the cheeks =w=;; A \"pulling back after the kiss\" CG or something! But unfortunately I didn't like how Chiaki looked here boo hoo.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...You idiot.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...You're an idiot, to actually do it for real.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> At any rate, a victor's kiss should be given after winning...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Aah, why are you just so...

So adooorable? :D (I think Kanade is \"cuter\" than Hino, well... in terms of personality. The options for Hino isn't teasing like some of Kanade's options...)

And sorta thanks to that, he's pretty determined not to lose the solo finals.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Alright, Kohinata? So please, I'm asking you to stay still now.

As in stop clapping every ten seconds or something, I guess.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
On the day of the solo finals, the Jinnan guys aren't around. :( Lunchtime = attending the solo finals performances, though!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random lady:<\/b> As I thought, Amane Gakuen's Myouga-kun is incredible... he's not at the level of a high-schooler...

He doesn't even look like one, you might want to add =w=;

Jinnan students are pretty fidgety, after all, their president is duking it out in the finals! And I love how Chiaki uses Kansai-ben when I'm not around XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What the heck are you getting all nervous for? It's not as if you're performing, idiot.

\"Aho\" *sneeeerks*
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> At any rate, I have a goddess of victory, so no matter who my opponents are, it'll obviously be my win.

O RLY

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> I feel like I haven't heard that kinda talk in a long time...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
One of Jinnan's members:<\/b> Chiaki-buchou! Please do your best!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> But of course.

Somewhere, I am having the jitters lol. But I have C.C.<\/s> Nia with me!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
You HAVE to pick the first option (\"I believe in Tougane\") by the way. If you pick the second one, you might end up with another glass-breaking screen ahaha.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nia:<\/b> Since you say that now, there's no way he would lose, right?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nia:<\/b> How about meeting him during the break?

As for Chiaki, back in the make-up room or something...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
One of Jinnan's members:<\/b> President is our dream! We believe in you!

Yeah yeah, so I barge in.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata... so you finally show yourself.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You heard it, didn't you? My performance.

I say that it was good, and then we talk about (Myouga) Reiji for a bit, before it's time for him to go.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> See ya then, Kohinata. The next time I call your name, I'll have become the number one.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Look forward to it.

I DON'T KNOW HOW A VIOLIN PERFORMANCE ENDED UP LIKE THIS
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Reiji:<\/b> Fu... interesting.

WHY KOEI ;_;

So it's time for the results...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Announcer:<\/b> Solo section, violin part. The champion is...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Announcer:<\/b> Amane Gakuen, Myouga Reiji-kun.

Arieneeeeee

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Announcer:<\/b> And one more name...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Announcer:<\/b> Jinnan High School, Tougane Chiaki-kun.

(If you are not playing for Chiaki, the Jinnan boys will return to Kobe after the semifinals, so Chiaki probably doesn't take part in the solo section, and Reiji is the default victor.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Jinnan member:<\/b> He did it! President, you're the beeeeest!

Housei and I are backstage :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> Kohinata-chan, you should go to Chiakin (lol nickname) now.

Of course I ruuuuuun off.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I've kept my promise. I told you I'd be the victor without fail, didn't I?

By default, Kohinata\/I will ruuun towards him for another kiss lolol otome game.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata...

Slightly altered CG, this time with a smile. If you didn't kiss him in the previous event (especially if you pick the \"I'll give it to you after you've become the victor\" option), you'll get the surprised face CG for this round, with slightly different lines where he says that he didn't think you'd really kiss him.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...Sheesh. I never thought that you're such a passionate girl. To put up such a cute face, that's pretty unfair.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Since it's become like this, I've made up my mind.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Even if you're stubborn, I'm taking you back to Jinnan with me. Got it?

Ohoho well, since Housei tried bribing me with food earlier... hmmm.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Jinnan member:<\/b> President! You're there, right? President Tougane!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Tsk, so the people who absolutely cannot read the mood<\/i> have come.

The Jinnan members all clamoured for their buchou, and totally never question why he's in a room with a girl. Oh well. They say how they want to be like him.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You all want to impersonate me?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Hah! There's no way. It's 200% impossible.

It's not 100%, it's twice of that! ...Why yes I love cocky!Chiaki.

So since the solo finals are over, the Jinnan guys are back for... free-poking. :D I poke Chiaki at a park, since he's lazing around there...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You're asking where Housei is at? No, I don't know. You think too much about our combi.

B-but you guys are always together, so I thought you'd know 8D

Natsu Matsuri (summer festival!) tiiiime
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Yo, Kohinata.

He asks me out. Well, to go with him for the summer festival, but I have a part-time job at the shrine...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Turn that down.

J-just like that?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> If you do that miko part-time job, then I can't enjoy the festival with you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, I'm going to make you dress up for my sake. Come on.

BUT WHAT'S WITH THE BOW =_= Are you going to bring it along? Anyway off we go!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Here, I bought it.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> I accepted a choco banana from Tougane.<\/i>

ohoho phallic object<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You look pretty happy. If you like it so much, do you want to eat mine too?

After that we go off to buy masks.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Alright, Kohinata. Pick one that will look good on me.

If you pick the tanuki one he wouldn't be too pleased, I think. XD;; So I pick the fairy one, because picking that will give you love points orz
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That suits you more than it does for me.

And then it's love point up!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata, what do you want to do next? I'll let you choose---

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Hm?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...This is bad. Kohinata, come here.

HIDING FROM HIS FANGIRLS HA. HAHA.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Be quiet...

Of course I shift a little.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Shhhh... I told you to stay still.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Fangirl #1:<\/b> Chiaki-kuuuun?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Fangirl #2:<\/b> That's strange... I thought I saw him...

They think they lost him somewhere in the biiig group of people, so they go off.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> So they've left...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What's wrong, your face is seriously red, you know?

And you can say that with that<\/i> kind of face uuuu

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> And even so, you're really small. You fit perfectly in my arms.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I think I finally understand the joy girls feel when they hug a stuffed toy.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Stuffed toy?<\/i>

YOU THINK OF ME AS A STUFFED TOY uuuu

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I'm just saying that you're cute.

Aaawww.

On a random day, he sends me a text message with \"Ousaki Shinobu\" as the subject ahahaha.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
He says that he bought a CD. Then he talks about Ousaki, that he was Seisou's OB. Then he asks if I know of Tsukimori Ren. (Of course I do! I played his route in Corda 1 so many times and I'm STILL<\/i> missing one of his CGs dammit!) Then<\/i> he remembers that Etou Kiriya was also from Seisou. Seisou sure had a lot of famous people!

...What about Kaji ;_;

Finally it's time for the finals!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Tomorrow's the finals...<\/i>

Chiaki conveniently calls.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Yo, Kohinata.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> You were thinking of me?

He asks for a request. Oh no way.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata, tomorrow you're going in with the intention to win, right?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> No, win and come back. I won't accept anything lesser than that.

He says that if I am going to play a \"plain\" performance, then I'm just returning to being a \"plain kid\". (Remember when he calls me \"jimi ko\" before the semifinals?)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Alright? The main attraction tomorrow will be you.

After that there's a mini pep talk...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> And if you do that, just like how you've given one to me... this time, I'll give one to you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> A kiss of blessing. It's a promise.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Alright, go to bed already. You have to be in your best condition for a challenging final, after all.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Goodnight, Kanade.

You finally call me by my first name!11!

The day of the finals... I guess everybody decide to wake up early, since it looks pretty dark.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> The wind's quite strong. Looks like there's going to be a storm.

Well okay, storm coming aside, it still looks dark.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Reiji:<\/b> You finally came, Kohinata. I've been waiting for this moment.

I love Etou, but Mr Myouga Reiji doesn't have Etou's voice and there's something about him which annoys me... I think I'm gonna blame his hair.

Jinnan peeps:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> There's nothing to be surprised at. After all, Seisou were the ones who beat us.

After the Amane Gakuen peeps played, Reiji seems pretty pleased with himself. O_o
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Reiji:<\/b> Ahahaha! How do you like that, Kohinata! This is my answer!

J-just because I don't remember you... (I haven't played his route, but people who have say that he's the Violin Romance or something bleh.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> The next one's the last, so with this, it's the end...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> For us (him and Daichi), that is. For the rest of you, you still have next year.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Don't say such rubbish. Who cares about next year?

Yeah, this year's the important one! (Next year will be Corda 4, maybe? :D? Or Corda 3 Encore? Hur hur~)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Of course we win.

There's a short CG thing with Kanade\/me and the guy she\/I'm chasing for ahaha. So in Chiaki's case...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
First meeting CG ahaha.

Let's give Nia some attention.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Little Girl:<\/b> Nee, onee-chan.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Little Girl:<\/b> Are you the friend of that onee-chan playing the violin over there?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nia:<\/b> That's right.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Little Girl:<\/b> Why does she sparkle so much? Are all people who play the violin like that?

...I don't know why she describes me as KIRA KIRA.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nia:<\/b> Well, who knows? It might be the magic of summer.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nia:<\/b> ...No, probably because she fell in love, I suppose.

Yeah, Bella started sparkling after she fell in love with Edward! It all makes sense now!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Arata:<\/b> You look pretty happy, Hozumi-senpai.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Arata:<\/b> In the first place, you were like, \"Seisou's an enemy!\" but now you're totally...

He gets a bop on the head after that. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, I guess I'll give a little celebration...

Backstage with the Seisou peeps...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> It's like a farce... we're really the champions?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Did we really become the first in the whole country?

SNAP OUT OF IT OTOUTO-KUN :D

And then we get Etou. I know he's adorable and all (no really, his lovers route in 2f Encore made me awwwww), but why Etou ;w;
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Etou:<\/b> Congratulations.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Etou:<\/b> Here's the trophy which you obtained from the strength you've all put into. Treasure it well.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> That's the championship trophy, huh... it's a lot smaller than I thought.

Check out Otouto-kun's face XD

So as we exit the hall, the rest of Seisou's members are cheering, and decide that it'll be fun to toss each of us participants into the air!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> Eeeeh?! Uwah! You idiots, stop...!

He's so cute when he makes this kind of face. ;w;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou member:<\/b> Next, Kisaragi-otouto!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> UWOOOOH?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Sisou member:<\/b> President, and Sakaki-senpai!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Wha--- us too?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Daichi:<\/b> Of course, since it's already this kind of flow (mood).

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou member:<\/b> And finally, Kohinata-san!

WHY AM I THE LAST, I AM THE FIRST VIOLIN :\/

And then there's a gift from some people. No it's not Chiaki.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> DRESS?! Who the hell gave this thing?

It's actually from a brother-sister pair, the brother was pretty depressed when he was beaten by Reiji, I think, but after seeing me play, he gains back the confidence to play again... or something like that.

And then you conveniently wear that dress to meet the boy you're chasing after. Ohoho. It's a video, so no pictures, unfortunately. He babbles a lot, saying that I could leave if I hate him, but if I don't I could give him a kiss, not a victor's kiss, but a lover's one.

WHAT.<\/font>

Well it was something like that, I'm too lazy to insert the UMD into my PSP and re-check 8D;;<\/a>

I think I'll do one for Amane Gakuen's Amamiya Sei. When I was playing for Chiaki, I became interested in him instead, because he pretty mysterious. ♥ But I'm kinda distracted by P3P at the moment...","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/369944.html?view=comments#comments","category":["photos: the 365 toy project","idol: suda masaki","games: kiniro no corda","dating game lol"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/364827.html","pubDate":"Sun, 30 May 2010 16:17:17 GMT","title":"[PSP] Kiniro no Corda 3 - Tougane Chiaki (Part 1)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/364827.html","description":"First of all, Chiaki's school, Jinnan, is the school you need to duke it out against in the semifinals, so I skipped the \"show your worth!\" mini-competition as well as the quarter-finals. So yeah, all the stuff in the intro isn't included in this post, jumping straight to the part of the game after the quarter-finals.

There won't be any truly rabu-rabu\/kyaa-kyaa events in this post, because they all take place after you've beaten him. This post is mostly the er, build-up to the semifinals, so mostly on his personality. (Sometimes I wanna smack him, sometimes he just makes me go :DDDD ahahaha why so conflicted, self.)

And some parts of the conversations wouldn't really make sense if they were literally translated word-for-word, so I tried rephrasing them. Take everything with a pinch of salt since there's probably mistranslations as well. :D;; I also refuse to call him \"Tohgane\" baaah I don't like it when \"u\" gets replaced with \"h\".

His first \"appearance\":
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> Seisou Gakuin... make sure to entertain me as much as possible...

On the shinkansen\/bullet train~ bet it's all first-class.

A day or two later, I wake up in the dorm and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> In the summer day, there's some sort of difference, something bright, new...<\/i>

CHECK OUT THE KIRA-KIRA-NESS

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> ...No, no matter how you look at it, they (referring to the furniture) have become brand-new!<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Here too!<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Here too!<\/i>

Even before the one-night refurbishing, Linden Hall (the dorm) sure looks like a nice place to stay in. If you can get past the creepy exterior (which had childhood friend\/Kyouya freaking out at it), that is.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> Oi, you over there. Don't run around in circles. You're just going to make the dust fly around.

Actually the last line is more of \"isn't the dust standing still\" but wtf, let's rephrase that.

Jinnan team, so flashy.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> This broken-down house is looking more decent now. It's nice if you could be thankful, you know.

...He actually redesigned the whole dorm and hired people to change the furniture without waking up anyone @_@;; Aftter that you can drink the tea they offered you, but if you do, Suspicious Guy will laugh at your stupidity. \"What if there was poison in it?\" or something like that.

And then the childhood friend turns up.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Oi, Kanade! The whole dorm has become weird!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> ...tte, who the hell are you people?!

I love Kyouya, he's probably the most normal out of the lot. XD I love this expression of his best.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> So boisterous, one after another... Are you also a resident of this dorm?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> Hm? You look strangely like Kisaragi... are you a relative of his?

ARE YOU SURE I THINK THE BROTHERS LOOK NOTHING ALIKE @_@

Speaking of Kisaragi-ani:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> So you've arrived, Tougane.

So Suspicious Guy and his minions get introduced as the competitors from Jinnan.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> What the hell is that?! I didn't hear about this!

atashi mo kiitenai<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Is that so? Jinnan will stay in this dorm while the competition is taking place.

They banter banter banter. Sasuga rivals.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> And soon, (Jinnan will be) the National Champions.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> That will not happen.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> This year, the silver trophy will be Seisou Gakuin's.

The commotion was loud enough to attract someone's attention.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yukihiro:<\/b> ...Chiaki?

The buchou-tachi sure know one another...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What, Yuki, you came to Seisou too? This is unexpected.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yukihiro:<\/b> Just when I thought the dorm looked different from last evening... as expected, this was your doing.

If my living room, corridor and dining area changed so much overnight, I'd have freaked out or something.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Now that's a smart answer. Since I'm indebted to you, I did this much. Rather kind of me, right?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yukihiro:<\/b> No matter how I think about it, it's a bit too much =_=

It is<\/i> too much, ehhh.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> See you then, Seisou people. Let's play again another time.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #2:<\/b> Eeto, that was our President, Tougane Chiaki.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> I am the Vice-President, Toki Housei.

And I heard these two are pretty bloody gay with each other, but I skimmed through Housei's route once (because I lack the knowledge in understanding Kansai-ben T_T) but didn't see that much gay...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> It's fine if you want if you want to call me \"Housei-san\", since I'll be intruding for a while.

Housei is another one-of-a-kind =_=;;

After that, he leaves as well, so..
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Childhood Friend's reaction. XD

And so I blurb about it to cute kouhai:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> Ehh? Something like that happened?

Now that I think about it, are Haruto and Daichi staying in the dorm as well? It's usually Kyouya who's with me most of the time...

The next day, Chiaki provokes Ritsu or something.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Yo, so you're here, Kisaragi. I've been searching for you, you know.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> To think that you wouldn't be one of Seisou's members for the semifinals.

Ritsu is not taking part in the semifinals due to an arm injury a la PoT Tezuka lolol, which is why I am now the 1st violinist.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Ho~? Does Seisou have another violinist as your replacement?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Yes, she's right in front of you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...This girl is the replacement for the 1st Violin? Kisaragi, has the heat gotten to your head?

I would've thought of the same thing.<\/s> After that, the two of us leave.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Kanade, do you want to eat something yummy on the way back... tte..

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya: <\/b> What, the two of you are together.

We then head down to the park...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> What's this sound? It seems as though it's coming from that side?

Tada~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Jinnan's... Tougane?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Those are electric violins, right? :o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
It's hard to see from this pic, but there are rose petals flying about lolol check the bottom of the pic. A-and the kirakira-ness.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Alright, thank you really, for gathering in this crazy heat.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> The next song is the last. Follow me till the end.

And so he starts playing again.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Kohinata?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Why are you... crying?

After the Jinnan peeps have finished playing:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What, if it isn't Seisou's Plain Kid. Did you hear it too?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> How was our performance?

I said that it was good.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That's all?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What a bland opinion. Your vocabulary is atrocious. You could at least say that there's something interesting about it.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's exactly because of that, that your performance doesn't have \"flowers\" in it.

Yeah yeah, he mentions a lot of \"hana\/flowers\", which is probably why there are rose petals when he plays @_@; Even his character song has HANA HANA HANA in it. Though probably not as much as a Haruka song I liked, Towa no Sakura Fubuki o Anata ni...<\/i><\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> \"Flower\"?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Your performance is honest, there's nothing bad, as if a good kid's.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> But if there's too much of a lack of individuality about it, it wouldn't be interesting at all.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> Chiaki, don't you think you've said too much? That girl's gone silent.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's because they asked, that I answered kindly. :)

AHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY CHIAKI =_=

Spotting Chiaki buying flowers the next day ahahaha.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I'm giving this bouquet to the dorm's housekeeper, seeing that I'm intruding.

After that he says that I'll lose to the flowers :( :(
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> If my opponent had been Kisaragi, then the best battle would've met my expectations.

Yeah, he's blinking in this scene. Whooops. And just you wait, I'll win against your school and your heart :D

The next day, the Jinnan peeps decide to poke their nose around my school. Naturally the Seisou students get curious.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou kid:<\/b> What, you didn't know? They're Jinnan's Tougane Chiaki-kun and Toki Housei-kun.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou kid:<\/b> The princes who have come from Kobe!

They are<\/i> princely, I guess, albeit a bit bratty...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou kid:<\/b> Do your best in the competition! I'll be cheering for you!

O-oi, which side are you on D:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What, so you were there, Seisou's 1st? You were sooooo<\/i> plain that I didn't notice you.

D: D:<\/b><\/font>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou kid:<\/b> W-who is that girl?

Chiaki's future girlfriend, who else :D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> So, how is it? Have you found your flower?

I answer \"not yet\", so he ends up talking and talking.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Wait, why am I telling you a story D:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> Isn't that good? It isn't bad to be nice to a girl.

On another day:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Uh-oh, the Plain Kid has gotten angry.

Buchou to the rescue!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Tougane, do you have anything to do with our member?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Hah! There's no way someone like me has anything to do with such a Plain Kid.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I'm just passing by and giving her a bit of advice.

Time to give home-made stuff lolol
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Hm? Well, if it isn't the Plain Kid. What's up?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> For me?

Of course it's for you, who else :D :D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That's fine, I'll accept it. Let me see.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Your masterpiece? Then, you made this sweet?

I think it's actually a cake slice, since they can be referred to as sweets.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> This is surprising. I didn't know you had that kind of skill.

Serizawa appears after preparing his Buchou's afternoon snack or something.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> Sorry to have kept you waiting. Then, over here...

Serizawa's one of the Jinnan's peeps too. Amazingly he's voiced! So why is he not dateable? D: Only important characters are voiced. Why is there an exception?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That's fine, here, you eat it too.

He likes it so much, so I said I'll make some again next time.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Aah, I'll look forward to it.

After that he says that when one eats cakes (that's why I assume it's actually a cake and not a candy), one drinks tea as well. Cakes go well with tea, apparently.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> I'm sorry, I'll bring some straightaway.

Chiaki's a slavedriver. :o Anyway I say that I actually brought some tea (in a flask, probably) along, so both of the guys are surprised.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> But Plain--- no, you are...

Ok I had to giggle a little, because Chiaki calls me \"Jimi Ko\/Plain Kid\" so much that Serizawa almost calls me the same.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> That's right, Plain Kid, you...

And then I forgot what happened X_x but I like it when Chiaki calls me \"jimi ko\". Then back at the dorm:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> Welcome back, Kohinata-san.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> Would you also like to drink black tea? If you don't mind, I'll pour some for you.

After that he actually goes into a loooong talk about how he first met Chiaki, which well, showcased some of Chiaki's good points. Unfortunately it isn't voiced and I was like @_@ half the time. Anyway Chiaki turns up later.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...tto, Kohinata. You stay here a little longer. Accompany me for my teatime.

Gladly *snrk* (In real life, I'll probably go noooooo<\/i> <---shy)

And as usual, you can give the guys gifts. There are two types of presents in this game, one which you can give only once, and one which you can give everyday. Like in Corda 2, the presents are colour-coded so you will know which present is for which guy. This is the \"everyday\" one.

His reaction:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Aah, orange sherbet, huh. I like this. Where do you usually go to buy this?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, I'm not going to buy it for myself, though. If I do that, you might not come to me anymore.

Ok I'll buy them and poke you with them aaaaall the time. :D

Two days later:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Take out your hand. It's something appropriate for you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's yours. Use it quickly before you regret it.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> If you use it, the sweets you make would probably be even better.

...Ah sou. =_=

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Ah--- what, that is---- well, I always called you a plain kid but...

Lol is that a bit of embarrassment I seeee?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> To say it honestly, that was my mistake. Sorry.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Naa, Kohinata. The world is not just all about the violin.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Don't just stick to music all the time. How about choosing to making sweets?

You can view it as \"gtfo the music scene\", but I kinda see it as looking at other opprotunities or \"getting a life\". @_@; Chiaki isn't that bad of a guy, anyway.

The day before the semifinals.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Looks like the press came as well.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Uwaah, if we get caught up in interviews, what do we do?

I remember being bugged by press, but I don't remember if it was Reiji or Chiaki there as well...

And the day of the semifinals itself:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, then, it's the start of the party soon.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Saa, Kisaragi, come out if you don't want this to be the end.

Looks like Chiaki is still doubting my mad skillz and thinking that we can't win without Ritsu. Uhuhu.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou Kid #1:<\/b> What do we do at this rate... I guess without President Kisaragi, we really can't win this...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Seisou Kid #2:<\/b> Shhh! You can't say that kind of things! They haven't played yet, so we wouldn't know!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Daichi:<\/b> Saa, well then, let's go to where the spotlight is calling, Hina-chan.

Wait, is this the first line from Daichi I've typed? XD;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Let the Jinnan peeps discover for themselves that we have an awesome violinist right here.

THE BOW IS A WEAPON <---- fandom's line

And when it's time for our turn... (I think it's the second song now)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> If your flower is for real, then let me see it, with the next performance, that is.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Jeez, they purposely came all the way here to pick a fight...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ritsu:<\/b> Looks like it's begun. This is the semifinal's last performance.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> With this performance, it'll decide whether we'll get to go to the finals or not...

BUT OF COURSE WE'LL GET TO THE FINALS
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Actually the game will flash the score for you, but obviously results haven't been annouced.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Looks like this is it for us.

So yeah, the results have yet to be announced, but he figured it out from the cheering for Seisou.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> \"This is it\"... what do you mean, President? The results are not out yet.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> It's a loss. For us.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> But that someone like me lost against that girl is a rather painful<\/i> joy...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Serizawa:<\/b> It only means that you're just interested in her, right?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Aah, just like that. To the point of wanting to take her back (to Kobe) and having her enter our club.

I don't know why, the first time I played, he said something like he has found a new rival (read: he dumped Ritsu for me) but I don't see it for this round. Maybe it's from picking a choice in an earlier conversation...?

Anyway after the competition, he slides up to us Seisou peeps.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> I've come to take back the words I've said to you before.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Goodness, I didn't think that you were able to play from there (i.e. the \"you are soooo boring\/have no flower\" level) to where you are now in just 10 days.

It's all thanks to your advice :D :D I don't know why you'd help someone from a rival school but that help is appreciated. ♥

Of course he goes on about how he doesn't know about me...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> What kind of magic did you use on me?

This is his blushing face which I'm not too fond of xD;; I like Kyouya's UWAAAAH!!! blushing face best, because it's just... funny.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Well, it had been a good summer. Congratulations for making it to the finals.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> Tougane-san... :)

Hostile kouhai seems to warm up to the Jinnan peeps, BUT THEN.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> ...Well, it's better if it's after the summer competition has ended but...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> Kohinata, come to Jinnan.

Chilhood friend's reaction:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Eh?

NATURALLY. He \"eh\"s a lot.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Chiaki:<\/b> If it's at Jinnan, you'll definitely become better, you know? >:D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> That's right, you don't have to hold yourself back. There's a lot of good food and beautiful places in Kobe too.

Good god he's bribing me with FOOD. And yes, both guys are blinking when I snapped this.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> W-wait! How did it turn into that kind of conversation?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruto:<\/b> We'll decline it, why would we give away our important 1st to Jinnan?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Housei:<\/b> And why are you declining? It's not something for you to say.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> These guys...

I remember Haruto getting our Buchou to say something, but all Ritsu said was, \"Well, that's after the summer. Then we'll talk\" or something. XD;;

The day of the semifinals is also the fireworks competition. SO CLICHE LOLOL

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Daichi:<\/b> Fireworks? That's right, today's the day for the fireworks competition...

Of course you get to drag a guy along to watch the fireworks with, so I picked Chiaki. :D But but but!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> But I don't have Tougane's keitai number. What do I do...<\/i>

OH NOES WHAT DO I DOOOOO

To be continued into Part 2, where all the kyaa kyaa\/moeeeee bits are. [Edit]<\/b> PART 2<\/a>

Oh, if you're not going after Chiaki, the Jinnan guys will go back to Kobe. So lonely ;w; They WILL, however, take a one-day trip on the bullet train to turn up for the finals though. @_@<\/a>","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/364827.html?view=comments#comments","category":["games: kiniro no corda","dating game lol"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/320890.html","pubDate":"Sat, 23 May 2009 19:23:15 GMT","title":"Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert fangirling","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/320890.html","description":"Yesterday was full of lulz, from the pre-concert stuff, to the concert itself (Uematsu-sensei is sooooo cute) and the post-concert Q&A session.

This will be public for a while, in case <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span> wants to link to the Q&A section or something. It's like this:

Me:<\/b> Attended Q&A, missed out on queue for autographs.
<\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span>: Had to miss Q&A to get into the queue for autographs.

We had to sacrifice one thing for another. But I won't deprive anyone of the Q&A section, so <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span>, you get both autographs and Q&A tidbits. You lucky person, you. :P

Too bad if you dislike emoticons, because Uematsu-sensei is sooooo cute that I don't know how to describe his personality and expressions in an emoticon-free way. Heh.

So. Uh, being kiasu<\/i> Singaporeans, we decided to meet up at 5.30pm before all the stuff got sold out, even though our show starts at 7.30pm. But it turned out that they were doing an autograph session for the people attending the afternoon show, so we couldn't get in to buy goods anyway. (There were Tifa and Cloud cosplayers and I was like FACEPALM.) Walked around aimlessly in the library and loled at some of the messages left by random people on a board.

Person 1:<\/b> I've never been to a library which allows the borrowing of DVDs!
Person 2:<\/b> *adds in a comment* Yeah, to rip!!!

There were a lot of messages in Korean. I loled at this Japanese one ---> \u3053\u306esecurity guard\u304c\u30d0\u30ab\u3068\u601d\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\u672c\u5f53\u306b\uff01(I think this security guard in an IDIOT. Really!) What did you do to get a security guard to come after you? =w=

We headed back and there was a short queue forming, so we joined in.

Guy 1 in front of us:<\/b> Wait, why are we queueing? Was it mentioned that we need to queue? Is this even the queue for the concert?
Guy 2:<\/b> Queueing is a Singaporean thing. =w=;

(By that, he means that we Singaporeans queue up when we see a queue forming, even though we don't know what it is for. Heh.)<\/a>

It was 6.45pm by the time they decided it was a good time to rip our tickets and let us enter, so we headed for the goods section.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
<\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span> and I picked up a pamphlet each before going to the goods. We each bought a CD, and I bought a tee as well.

Anyway they only let us enter the waiting area, because the \"concert hall was not ready\" oooh. Didn't have to wait long though. The moment I entered, a female usher asked me about my seat, so I was like, \"Uh... *looks* Row CC, Number 59?\" and she lead me to the row and said, \"Your seat is right at at the end.\"

And... it was right next to the VIP box. HOLY COW. It was as good as sitting in the VIP section! (But having my head turned to face my right for two hours did gave me neck pain.) Oh, it was stated that \"no photography or recording was allowed\" but nobody listened anyway and snapped pics. And you know the saying. Monkey see, monkey do.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
This was my view of the stage :D I can understand the No Photography\/Recording rule during the concert itself, but the orchestra wasn't even there yet and most of us haven't been to a concert hall, so of course we wanted to take pics of the interior! In addition to being kiasu<\/i>, we Singaporeans are a kaypoh<\/i> (busybody) lot.<\/s>

I spotted a Rinoa cosplayer and facepalmed again. Okay, I'm under the impression that you don't cosplay to a classical concert, even if it's Final Fantasy-related. It's like how the Japanese don't like it when people turn up at Natsu Matsuri here in cosplay.

When Uematsu-sensei entered the hall, everybody started screaming and clapping. Some fanboy on the second level started screaming, \"UEMATSU-SENSEI!\" and I half-feared that he would find it rude (it's a classical concert, after all) but he looked sheepishly amused. I didn't scream, but I clapped wildly. :D Sensei was so cute, he put his hands together like in a Buddha pose and had a bandanna around his head. I bet the guys seated behind him were probably creaming in their pants. XD

I don't remember the order of the songs, but the first one was Liberi Fatali<\/a><\/i>. I lost my VCDs with FF VIII<\/b> cutscenes, so I missed the song so much! And you know me, I love songs with orchestral choir-chanting. It was a great way to start the concert and get everybody all hyped up.

There was a screen above the orchestra which was playing random scenes from the games, be it the actual gameplay or the cutscenes. Fanboys next to me would snicker whenever the vids were showing old skool stuff like gameplay from the earlier Final Fantasy games. You know, little sprites and all. I just grinned stupidly instead. As for <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span>, (we sat at opposite ends, not next to each other) she said that the people behind her were like, \"That's Chocobo? It's a chicken?\" \"It's too big to be a chicken!\"

Somewhere in between: (not exact conversation, but pretty close)
Arnie Roth (conductor):<\/b> We received a request for a song, in fact, it was sent directly to the Singapore Arts Council.
Audience:<\/b> :ooooo
Mr Roth:<\/b> So... it seems that I was told every Singaporean knows this song, even if they're not Final Fantasy fans.
Audience:<\/b> :ooooo
Mr Roth:<\/b> Eyes On Me<\/i>.
Audience:<\/b> *insert loud cheering and wild clapping, me included*
Mr Roth:<\/b> Unfortunately we're not doing that....
Audience:<\/b> DDDDD:
Mr Roth:<\/b> Instead, we're going to do an orchestral version!
Audience:<\/b> :DDDDD

He's such a tease. XD Some of us probably didn't know he was talking about a vocal version with Faye Wong when he said \"we're not doing that\" lolol. Well, I don't know if every Singaporean knows Eyes On Me<\/i>, but Faye Wong is quite a household name.

During the intermission, I accidentally bumped into Mr Roth without realizing. (Does that count as \"rubbing shoulders\"? Lolol.) I was near the private reception area, and looking for <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span> and then some guy from behind crashed into my right arm. He didn't seem to notice and kept walking ahead with an escort, so I was like, \"Caucasian? ...Hair in ponytail? Oshit it's the conductor!\" Ahahaha.

After intermission, Uematsu-sensei came on stage.

Uematsu-sensei<\/b> Ni hao. :D (Hello)
Audience:<\/b> *cheers*
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> I can speak Chinese. :)
Audience:<\/b> *claps*
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> *takes out a piece of paper*
Audience:<\/b> :D;;
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> *utters something in Mandarin Chinese*
Audience:<\/b> LOLOLOLOLOL

Unfortunately I don't understand Mandarin, but it must have been something hilarious, what with the way the audience was laughing. <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span>, translation plz. :P [Edit]<\/b> What he said was, \"I like to drink beer.\"

They also did a re-arranged version of Swing de Chocobo<\/i>. (The original was played in the first half, see.) The moment \"YOU'VE CAUGHT A CHOCOBO!\" appeared on the screen, the audience loled.

Opera: Maria and Draco<\/i> was the so-called final song, so after the three main vocalists were handed flowers and led off the stage by Mr Roth, the rest of us were like D: because we thought it was the end. But I was confident that it wasn't the end yet, not when they haven't played One-Winged Angel<\/i>, which was what 90% of the audience was waiting for. In fact, the guys beside me were already joining in the screams of \"Encore! One-Winged Angel<\/i>! ENCOOOOORE!\"

Naturally when Mr Roth came up on stage again, more screaming and clapping came. He said that he couldn't leave us just like that and that he knew what we wanted, and people started screaming for One-Winged Angel<\/i>.

Mr Roth:<\/b> I heard Singaporeans liked to be surprised.
Audience:<\/b> 8D????
Mr Roth:<\/b> So we'll be playing Terra's Theme<\/i>.
Audience:<\/b> *loud cheers*

Of course it was still not the end, not until we get One-Winged Angel<\/i>, anyway.

Mr Roth:<\/b> We're doing a poll...
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> Eh?
Mr Roth:<\/b> Poll. Uh... questions.
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> *understands* OHHHHHH! *nodnod*
Audience:<\/b> XD;;

Why are you so cute, sensei? ;w;

Mr Roth said how they were thinking of adding more songs to the programme and asked for our opinion, in which the \"Uematsu-sensei!!!1!1!!\" fanboy from the second floor started screaming for Dancing Mad<\/i>. He called the guy a \"high source\" lolol. The voting was done American Idol-style, so it was so hilarious. Mr Roth was like, \"I feel like I'm on British Idol. Or American Idol!\" The choices were already narrowed down to five from online voting done on the Distant Worlds website, so they named the five songs one by one and judged the popularity of each of the songs by our reactions\/clapping\/screaming. In the end it was down to Dancing Mad<\/i> and J-E-N-O-V-A<\/i>.

And then, FINALLY.

Mr Roth:<\/b> I know what you all want. 8D
Audience:<\/b> akdhaksjhdka ONE-WINGED ANGEL<\/i>!!
Mr Roth:<\/b> And Nobu (he calls Uematsu-sensei \"Nobu\" sometimes) will sing solo. Aren't you all honoured? :P
Audience:<\/b> *mad cheering*
Uematsu-sensei\"<\/b> *sings a little*
Audience:<\/b> :DDD
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> ... I cannot sing solo. ;_; Nonono.
Audience:<\/b> *laughs*

The peeps in the orchestra themselves seem to love Uematsu-sensei and cheered for him by stomping their feet. (Those with the string instruments couldn't exactly clap, you see.)

So he walked over to the choir and stood with them as they sang through One-Winged Angel<\/i>. The guy he decided to stand next to shifted nervously. XD All of us were screaming when ensemble played the first notes; we were THAT excited. But it died down very fast, because we did wanna hear the performance. Lots of FF VII<\/b> and FF VII AC<\/b> cutscenes flashed on the screen! ♥ We all stood up and clapped after it was over, and Uematsu-sensei took off his slippers and clapped using them. He also got down on his knees and bowed to Mr Roth, forehead on the floor and all. XD<\/a>

After that people got up to leave, but since there was a dialogue\/Q&A session, I stayed. (And also the reason why I wasn't in the queue for autographs. ;_;) Since it wasn't a performance, photo-taking was allowed. People freely snapped away and the ushers never did anything anyway.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
[L-R] Sensei's interpreter (he speaks limited English), Uematsu Nobuo-sensei, Arnie Roth and... someone from the S'pore Arts Council, I guess, since he was keeping tabs on the time :\/

Most of the time, Uematsu-sensei was talking in Japanese, so that's why there was an interpreter.

The first girl was nervous. She asked about the lyrics in the songs, I think. Whether it was first written in Japanese before being translated into the language they were sung in. I forgot the answer, but Mr Roth said something like, \"Espanol. Because it's a language everyone understands!\" Someone also asked how they started working together, but I also forgot much of the answer. But something about that game music concert in Los Angeles, I think, and it all started from there.

They asked about the audience (majority were Singaporeans, but we had Malaysians too and someone from Cambodia), talked about how since the concert is a success here despite being the first performance in Asia (other than Japan), and that they'll definitely have more shows. YES PLEASE. And Mr Roth said, \"And for you Malaysians in the audience, we're also currently in talks with Malaysian people...\" in which the fanboys who were seated beside me (they shifted to the row in front for the Q&A) started cheering. Maybe they were from Malaysia. :3

Random questions I remembered for the lulz:

Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> Where are you from?
Girl:<\/b> ...Uh, Singapore?
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> ... =w=;

He was so cute arrrrgh. I think this was during the question with the first girl.

Lady:<\/b> How did you find Singapore? (As in, \"How did you like Singapore?\")
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> I only know Esplanade (concert hall) and hotel. ;w;
Audience:<\/b> ... XD
Mr Roth:<\/b> We didn't have time to go around...

The way Uematsu-sensei said that was soooo funny, and almost sheepish. Then some guy asked him about the Guin Saga<\/b> anime which Uematsu-sensei was composing the music for.

Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> How did you know? (Was it supposed to be a secret?)
Audience:<\/b> *at the guy* Oooooooooooooooh.
Guy:<\/b> :D;;
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> *talks in Japanese*
Guy:<\/b> \u3048\u3047\uff1fDVD\u306f\u307e\u3060\u30fc (Eh? The DVD's not yet...)
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u51fa\u6765\u308b\u3058\u3083\u3093!\uff01(YOU CAN SPEAK JAPANESE!)
Guy:<\/b> ... :D;; <--- doesn't know how to react
Audience:<\/b> *laughing*
Interpreter:<\/b> I guess I don't have to answer for him. |D

But she translated for the rest of the people in the \"Nihongo wa zenzen wakarimasen\" sector anyway. Stuff about the anime.

Interpreter:<\/b> We're looking for distributors for the DVD.
Audience:<\/b> Oooooooooooh.
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> (in Japanese) Maybe. Hee hee.
Audience:<\/b> orz

They also talked about the re-arranged version of Swing de Chocobo<\/i>.

Mr Roth:<\/b> I talked to Nobu, and he listened to 25 years of Chocobo music. (Wasn't it 20?)
Uematsu-sensei:<\/b> *nod nod*
Audience:<\/b> *snicker*
Mr Roth:<\/b> So we tried samba... heavy metal...
Audience:<\/b> LOLOLOL

Somebody also asked about Uematsu-sensei's works now, since he has resigned from Square-Enix. He said something like \"kuchi kara ienai\" (can't say it from his own mouth) but said SOMETHING anyway. And then Mr Roth talked...

Mr Roth:<\/b> However you can wait for news. In summer or fall. >:D
Audience:<\/b> OOOOOOOOOOOOH.
Mr Roth:<\/b> ...Maybe. |D

THIS IS ABOUT FINAL FANTASY XIII<\/b> ISN'T IT.

Aaaaaand that's all. I passed my CD to <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span> and to be honest I didn't think I'd get an autograph anyway. Because stuff like these are normally limited to one autograph per person, or else people will sell their extra signed stuff online for big bucks. (Though the reason I heard was that they want to move the queue quickly since it was already past 10.30pm, which is still fair enough.)

There's next yearrrrr. Rar! Maybe there'll be another chance! If the man himself is attending again, that is. ;w;<\/small>

OMG I typed this out for three hours. Off to bed I go. Whatever errors will be corrected when I get up. =w=<\/a>","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/320890.html?view=comments#comments","category":"events: distant worlds"},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/307559.html","pubDate":"Sun, 01 Feb 2009 09:34:13 GMT","title":"[NDS] Vampire Knight DS - Kiryuu Zero","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/307559.html","description":"Quick rambles on VK game, since I have completed one round. Chased after Zero, of course. Not very in-depth, since I had a problem with the sound and wound up skipping most of the text, therefore enabling me to finish the game in two hours! Compared to the usual 8 hours for each gameplay for other dating sim games.<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I DIDN'T EXPECT A KISS SCENE :OOOOO<\/small><\/center>

In terms of dokidoki factor, I didn't find it exactly dokidoki. As in, I didn't squeal and all that every time Zero or Shiki turns up. The only time I squealed was probably when you are given an option to let Ichijou suck your blood, which is rather... strange, considering that despite being a vampire, he's not exactly a bloodsucker and probably the least vampiric of the night class guys. So uhm, yeah, that rare chance where he wants to taste your blood made me go AIEEEEEEEEEE SENPAAAAAAI.

Game is in the visual novel style which means I actually skipped a lot of text. I would<\/i> listen to the guys talk since they're fully voiced, but their voices sound strange. I mean, I was using earphones and the voice quality is kind of robotic and low. Even at the highest volume, sometimes I can't hear Kaname talk properly and Zero doesn't sound like Mamo when he's talking, only when he's making those grunting, \"I need Yuuki's blood\" sounds or yelling. For dating sim games, I still like Koei's Neoromance style best, sorry.

Chasing after Ichijou now eeee.

Going out to town and running into vampires = you have to fight them. There are too many of them so Zero comes to save you yeah!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> You vampires...!

Night Rainbow time. Because if you see a rainbow at night, apparently your wishes will come true! =_=; It rained at night but we could still see a rainbow! How come I<\/i> can't see rainbows after it rains at night? :(
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaname:<\/b> This is the Night Rainbow. How beautiful...

I don't know what's up with his Let's Go Beyond the Stars!!!1!1! pose.

One of the minigames involves you spying on the boys lolol. Uhm, there are a total of six windows, one for each guy, just poke whichever window belonging to the guy are chasing after. Spy on them till the gauge reaches max, but when they look at you\/outside their window, quickly look away (as in, avoid eye contact), and when they're not looking, spy on them again.

After too many times spying on Zero~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> If you want to know that much about me, then just come into my room.

NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD SAY TO GIRLS but since they're living under the same roof, I guess it's like some people in a mixed dorm.

Fashion check game! Uhm, it's actually really boring unless you are there for the lulz. Just equip the character with whatever you have bought and see if they like it or not.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero would kill me if I went with this. XD I was tempted to go with this, but I went with normal clothes in the end.

One day Yuuki has a dreeeeam. At the beach, at that! I snorted when I saw the beach. Ichijou asks if I\/she likes kisses, and Yuuki says yes so...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ichijou:<\/b> If you like them so much, I'll give you one. Close your eyes.

ICHIJOU-SENPAI Y U SO BOLD IYAAAAAAN. I don't know, Ichijou's just so polite that when he does something like this, I nosebleed.

In the 5th or 6th chapter, it's about a dog called Chibi! Yuuki brings the dog around while patrolling lolol. I skipped all the text actually, because I was chasing for Zero and didn't care about what the others are saying, but I did pause to take pics.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shiki:<\/b> Ms. Prefect... what are you doing?

As for Kain:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kain:<\/b> U~n, she's not waking up.

Really, because I skipped all the text, I don't know what happened.

HOWEVER! I didn't skip the text for Ichijou's scene with the dog, because I was hoping for a CG too, but they didn't give me one! Sadface. But it is pretty funny, because he insists on calling the dog \"Tama\" (a common name for cats) even when Yuuki tells him that its name is Chibi. Dog is all, \"???\" when Ichijou keeps calling it Tama. XD

Like I expected, the dog is evil. It's a vampire dog! WHATEVER THAT IS. Zero and Kaname kill it off in the end, so Yuuki yells at Zero (you can choose to place the blame on Kaname too actually) but realizes that she may have hurt his feelings at some point so...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yuuki:<\/b> Zero, I'm so sorry T___T;

Last chapter involves a dance. Lololol what's with all these predictable things. But I can never figure out the dance game. I think I'll access the minigame gallery and replay it until I can understand how it works... [Edit]<\/b> Ok, I figured it out! Pay attention to the left screen while you tap on the touch screen, not the right. orz

Anyways, cheesy Zero coming up.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> I want you... (in short, \"I want your blood\")

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yuuki:<\/b> He suddenly hugged me...<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> I don't want to let you go.

For some reason I was >_>; when typing this out...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
After you've completed one round, you can save.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
And now you can go after Yagari! And I wish they won't keep on messing up the guys' names. Either stick to English or Japanese and not both! I still prefer Kuran for Kaname and Aidou instead of Idou. And decide whether to leave names with an extra \"u\" intact or not! Like, they use Ichijou, but never used Kiryuu. \/rant on romanized names

Oh at the end of the game, Zero wants to suck your blood. Let him do it to get this CG:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
There'll be a choice where you pick where you want him to bite you and pick the left side of her neck. If you pick the other places (even thighs are possible biting places lolol), you won't get the CG. Yah, I saved and tried out all the spots for biting<\/s>

Other Zero CG stuff during the course of the game:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
More biting from the middle of Zero's route! But uh, to get this CG, you must be hesitant and not let him bite you. Insist on shoving a blood tablet down his throat until he can't take it and bites you on the wrist. XD If you willingly let him bite you, no CG.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
After you are attacked by vampires and he comes to you, you can ask him to tag along with you lolol.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yuuki's dream with the guys at the beach uh.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
CG after the ending credits have all rolled by.

Oh, after completing one round, all the mini games you have played throughout the gameplay will be available in the minigame section. So I accessed the fashion check one for the fun of it.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
And subjected Zero to much ridicule >:D

BUT AMAZINGLY...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> *blushing* This is a good accessory! It's the best!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ZERO D:

And another one:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> Heh~ this is pretty good. Yeah, it's good. This.

Chocolates!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Uhm, this is actually from my Ichijou gameplay. I guess if you give Zero chocolates in school, you won't get this CG. Because I gave my chocs to Ichijou, there was a scene where I gave some to Zero too.

Ichijou's one next time~ I'm at the doggy chapter now.

I think would've liked it better if this game continued deeper into the story after Yuuki has awakened her pure-blood vampiric powers. Plus I like her scythe when she is vampire!Yuuki compared to her normal rod when she was human!Yuuki. And as she's a true descendent of the Kuran family, normal vampires would probably be more scared of her than of Kaname. But then, if there won't be much damsel-in-distress scenes in the game = less CGs.

But Aidou\/Yuuki would be more fun with vampire!Yuuki around, because he would probably snap at her and then quickly retracting his words because she is of higher ranking than him. XD<\/a>

Randoms pics of my favourite CGs from Haruka Ukihashi. I'll play it... after I'm done with Ichijou and Shiki, I guess.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoeeeeee

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I thought they're the same person? Okay, so I haven't gone for Tomomori's route in Haruka 3 so I wouldn't know. Enlighten me. 8D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I just like this CG. It's so cute.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The three mikos *_* I like Haruka 2's miko the least, of course. As for my favourite, I can't choose between Nozomi or Chihiro.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi and Kurou~

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Aaaand the classmates from Haruka 1.<\/a>

Also watched the first episode of Kamen Rider Decade<\/b> and... it's quite cool. 8D;; Sadly I only recognise stuff from Kabuto onwards, because I don't remember much from Ryuuki. So I only understood the attacks from Worms, Fangire and Imajin, but went O__O? at the seafood monsters. Oh, I know Hibiki uses musical instruments or something to attack, but monster-wise, I have no idea. And I'm not fond of series where Riders fight one another, so I hope this won't turn out into a fightfest like at the start of the ep...","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/307559.html?view=comments#comments","category":["dating game lol","look ma no cut!","games: vampire knight ds","tokusatsu: kamen rider decade"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/276494.html","pubDate":"Sat, 31 May 2008 17:27:46 GMT","title":"[PSP] Code Geass ~Lost Colors~ - Kallen Stadtfeld (Part Two)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/276494.html","description":"[v.v. long Vocaloid<\/b> rambling] More pics<\/a> of the twins! Twins<\/a>! I'm gonna buy two of each again =_=;; <\/a>ryo_hakkai<\/b><\/a><\/span>, as expected, they'll be released in September. 3,000 yen each, let me know if you want me to help you order or anything. The shop I order from regularly hasn't put up a listing yet, so I don't know the pricing for members yet. September's also the release month for the 1\/8 scale Miku figure, so collectors are probably gunning for her instead of the twins. Probably. But on the other hand, one can't underestimate Vocaloid<\/b> fans O_o;; I mean, 10,000 Miku Nendoroids were ordered on the first day pre-orders opened.<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Speaking of Miku Nendoroid~ Sis was like, \"Wtf why do you need TWO?!\" (Because Miku looks like a character<\/a> I created in 2002 and therefore I am biased.) If they're making Nendoroid versions of the Vocaloid charas, will we get a Gackpoid one too? I told my younger bro, \"The next Vocaloid will be Gackpoid.\" and him, \"GACKT?!\" *snorts at his reaction*<\/small><\/center>

I was watching many variations of AMVs for the twins' original songs, Aku NO Musume<\/i> and Aku NO Meshitsukai<\/i> and there's a Code Geass R2<\/b> AMV for the latter, where Rolo and Nunnally are depicted as the twins. WOW, it kinda fits, seeing that the song is about sorta separated twins where the female twin is an evil princess and the male twin is a sorta servant of evil (princess) as per the song title. Not that Nunnally is evil in any way, but since Britannia is evil in the earlier parts of the series, she's the \"Aku NO Musume\/Daughter of Evil\" while Rolo is \"Aku NO Meshitsukai\/Servant of Evil\".



(The last part of the song is from the Lost Colors<\/b> game where he slashed me. =_=) If you understand half the lyrics, it's pretty much BAAAAWWWW-worthy. I saved that video, knowing how Sunrise will mostly take it down soon. That song is Aku NO Meshitsukai<\/i> (with someone else's vocals), and my favourite video of Aku NO Musume<\/i> is this one<\/a>! Okay, the pretty Kaito x Miku-implied fanart related to the song attracted me too. *SHALLOW* I also love how the song includes all five (Japanese) Vocaloids so far and that the lyrics are so cruel; Rin ordering Miku's country to be destroyed, and how \"the lament of sad people didn't reach the princess\". T_T;; You can also look at the fanart to understand the song, since it's hard to make out the lyrics because the singing is synchronised. It's a computer program doing the singing after all. Kanji lyrics are here<\/a> as pointed out by <\/a>ryo_hakkai<\/b><\/a><\/span>. [\/v.v. long Vocaloid<\/b> rambling]

Kallen's route Part 2. Yah yah, I got lazy. |D;; Sorry for the long wait, <\/a>akirac<\/b><\/a><\/span>.

Continuing the gameplay.

YAY BENTOU YAY
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> This is...

She lets me have a taste.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> This is really delicious! If it's like this, then I want to eat this everyday.

O-oi, me. I'm so shameless.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> ...Is it really that delicious?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> I see... then in that case, I'll make one for you again when I can.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> I'll be looking forward to it.

After discovering that I'm a \"half\"...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> So you're a half. The same as me.

Triangle = We're the same and X = Don't make me the same as you (as in don't group her with you) so I pick Triangle.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> That's right, the same. Kallen and I, we're the same.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Let's fight together from now on. For the sake of Japan...

Anyway, it's time to go into battle at the island. Kaminejima?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> ...I'm sorry. I understand. I understand too, but...

Of course I'm worried about her XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Thank you, but I'll be fine. I'm fighting together with you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> I want you to be okay. (As in I don't want her to get hurt.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Ah... un, thank you.

Anyway blah blah, shit happens, Avalon shoots the Hard-On, I mean, Hadron (sp?) Cannon, we get separated, I find them again (didn't see Rolo around with V.V. this time) Zero + Kallen + Suzaku + Euphie fall into that uh, Geass hole. I appear!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Rei! Why are you here?!

Uh, she's blinking when I snapped this.

More shit happens. Like in the anime, we get out by having Zero steal Gawain. Unfortunately, I fall off why he was blasting at the entrance. Kallen yells but I tell them not to stop. Yes, I remember this part well because I was WAAAAI KALLEEEEENNNNN! Either way, I manage to get myself out.

When Kallen finds me:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yep. This is the first time I caught a glimpse of the character I was playing as. Too bad they never show his\/my face, I want to know his\/my eye colour!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Thank goodness... thank goodness...!

Back at school.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Un... we're going to Kyuushuu (Kyushu) from now on.

We get to see some sort of top secret files! Not that I remember what they are for.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> ...This is?

Lelouch has a habit of revealing himself to more people lately hur hur. I dunno why he trusts me so much and reveals himself to me even before Kallen knows of Zero's identity.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> How about it, Rei? Are you surprised?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> L-Lelouch?!

Maybe the only reason why he trusts me because he has found out that I have Geass too. So he tells me about his Geass.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> You... too?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Aa, that's right. I can use Geass too.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hm Rurushuuuuuuu.

Kallen and Lelouch\/Zero aren't around, so I have no choice but to talk to other members of the Black Knights. I decide to talk to Inoue. I always go for the girls hahaha. Is it me or they ran out of names for some of the Black Knights members, so they are randomly named after their seiyuu? Inoue is voiced by Inoue Kikuko (AKA Zino's<\/s> Kira's mom<\/s> Cecile), Sugiyama by Sugiyama Noriaki (Rivalz), Chiba by Chiba Saeko (Nina)...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Inoue:<\/b> Have you seen Ougi-san's obentou?

At least we know that Chigusa!Viletta packs his lunch for him XD

Talking to Kallen, who's happy that she's in the Black Knights.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Besides, I met you too...

Then she blushes crazily and runs away after that... I think.

The day of the school festival!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> What are you looking at...?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> It's a mask, ne...

Random Ashford Gakuen students are so ugly.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Female Student D:<\/b> Ah, Kallen. You eat too!

Kallen also tells how her mother used to take her and her brother to matsuris (festivals) bawwww.

HAHAHAHAHA HORROR HOUSE since I am with Kallen, she doesn't get to be in the Horror House getup...<\/s>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Ah, this is...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Kallen, do you like this kind of things?

She does say something about her Horror House getup, though. (Wait, now the game timeline's messed up, because she donned the monster costume this year and not the previous year...)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Heh... I kind of want to see that. Kallen's monster look.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> EH?

We spot these two:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Woman:<\/b> Ufufu, Ougi-san's surprised face is kind of strange.

I think we follow them to the roof and THEN bump into this girl:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C.:<\/b> Seems like the world's biggest pizza is here.

P-pizza. orz

Ougi and Chigusa!Viletta go off, and Kallen or I question about them being here. C.C., in her usual blunt manner, talks about people going out and that Kallen and I are the same.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Eh? What are you saying?!

C.C. isn't the only one saying that, apparently.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> It's not like we're...

Hehe Nina's blushing too.

We move on to the Special Administered Region of Japan thingy.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C.:<\/b> Don't tell me... this soon...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku! Lol @ the flashback of Euphy shooting in Turn 8, when he was unconscious during the whole scene in Stage 22. orz

The HERO!me scene. It's slightly different from Suzaku's Britannian route.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Stop it, Euphemia!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Are you a Japanese? If that is so, then please die!

Yeah yeah, she shoots me many, many times...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Do you really want to do such a thing?

I pretty much override her Geass by Geassing her, yeah, but I think the conversation was slightly different than the one in Suzaku's route.

We get a brand-new video of me Geassing everyone (since it is a vid, it isn't stated why I Geassed the whole arena as well, but most likely to make everyone forget the massacre) Euphy collapsing and Suzaku going to her. :o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
CHECK OUT MY RANGE LIMIT, LULU >:D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Euphy!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> When I wake up, I see Kallen's face.<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Literally, \"Kallen's face is there.\"

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Zero said... that you used magic... (i.e. Geass)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> I'm glad that you're alive...

Everything goes well, yay Special Administered Region thing...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> I'm living in this world. Together with Kallen. Together with Japan.<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
One last picture they gave me. ARGH ZERO'S WAIST.

Currently playing Student Council route for Milly now... only at Day 4 or 5. I want to play Suzaku's Student Council one for that cheerleader costume waaaaai.<\/a>","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/276494.html?view=comments#comments","category":["vocaloid","games: code geass ~lost colors~","dating game lol","look ma no cut!","geass - kallen"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273732.html","pubDate":"Sun, 04 May 2008 13:45:46 GMT","title":"[PSP] Code Geass ~Lost Colors~ - Kallen Stadtfeld (Part One)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273732.html","description":"[Yesterday evening]

But I had Plan B. If P3 FES<\/b> is sold out, I will head down further into the city to buy Figma Lulu and Saber from Rapid Culture I MUST buy something everytime I go out whyyy do I suck<\/s> since they restocked yesterday. But even those were sold out too! T_T

Kallen gameplay post Part One for my good ol' friend <\/a>akirac<\/b><\/a><\/span> :D Three consecutive posts on gameplay now, wtf?

Kallen gameplay! I thought I had picked Hikaru for my name (because of the whole Hikari thing during my first gameplay) but apparently noooope. After skimming through my pics, seems like I had picked \"Rei\" instead. I like the sound of \"Rei\" better than \"Rai\" anyway. Although the \"Rei\" I used is spelt in Katakana, there's a Kanji for \"rei\" which means... Zero. XD Yes, the numerical.

Vampire Knight<\/b>'s Zero's name's Kanji reads as \"rei\" too. Which is why I kind of like calling him Rei heh.

I don't need to talk about the start of the game and lost memories. :D Anyway the first part of Kallen's route is kind of boring because you\/I haven't joined the Black Knights yet.

For Kallen's route, the student council peeps sure like asking whether I have gotten my memories back. So persistent. D:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Good morning. Do you remember anything? :D

Kaichou's turn to bug me.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> So, I wonder if you remember anything~~?

Of course I don't remember anything, but she proceeds to make wild guesses about your true identity.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> Maybe you are a time traveller from the future! \\^o^\/

Some imagination you have there, Kaichou.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei: (ME)<\/b> ...I don't remember anything.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Looks like everyone wants to know the same thing, ne.

Well said, bb.

Anyway if you stick to Kallen, the game will make her your tour guide. i.e. She will be stuck with the task of taking you to random places to see if you remember anything.

Outside school.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> As I thought so... even you call them that, ne.

I probably go BUH? so...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> About the Elevens...

Remember, she has Nippon Pride so calling the Japanese \"Elevens\" is a no-no.

While trying to regain my memories...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Maybe... you could have been born in Area 11?

Oh, Rei\/Rai\/protagonist is a half, btw. Cecile and Lloyd also discovered that during Suzaku's route. I don't remember if they did a blood test or something, but it was a big secret kept between the four of us. (Them + Me + Suzaku)

The trip ends with nothing, so we go elsewhere on another day!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> I have a place I want to go to.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> That's fine. If it's a place which you yourself want to go to, maybe you'll remember something.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Here?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Ghetto, ne...

And of course we get randomly teased by the Student Council members. Pretty understandable since there's people like Milly and Rivalz around, but even Lelouch himself doesn't spare me.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> \"That\"? What do you mean, Lelouch?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Eh? You don't know?

Does this make Suzaku one of those, \"hopeless in love\" cases?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> \"F-futari no jikan\"...! What are you saying, I was just doing part of the work for the Student Council...

The \"futari no jikan\" refers to the time you\/me and Kallen were together. i.e. Just the two of us going to random places, but you know how this kind of thing is always interpreted wrongly XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Even so, the two of you are walking together. A.L.W.A.Y.S :DDDD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> T-That's because...

After school, we go to one of the ghettos again. Yay people blowing stuff up and saying that they're the Black Knights! Of course Kallen goes all, \"Those are not the Order of the Black Knights\"
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> How could this be?! Why! That's terrible!

I have forgotten how this happened. I vaguely remember shit blown up and me protecting her, so I'm not sure if this is from the other group of terrorists blowing stuff up or me (getting almost injured?) saving her.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Thank goodness you're fine.

Yeah, yeah.

Either way, we find a Knightmare and get on it! Amazingly I can handle it pretty well, which gives Kallen the impression that I have piloted one in my past and that I'm really a Japanese. The Black Knights also come to fight against the other terrorist group.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Those people are the real Black Knights. I'm not mistaken!

Yeah, she knows because she is a member hur hur.

The Black Knights' Knightmares pretty much handle the terrorists, so we do nothing much. One of the Knightmares did turn to us, but then moved off.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Looks like they know that we're not terrorists...

News that we survive a terrorist attack and that I shielded Kallen gets around pretty fast... among the Student Council members. (Read: More teasing orz)

During lunchtime:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> Yo, the two of you~

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> The man shielded the lady with his body in order to protect her! \"I WILL PROTECT KALLEN!\" The two of them ran and emerged from the inside of the flames!

=_=;; Lelouch's reaction?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Naturally.

[random] The terrorist thing reminds me of that track in one of the free CDs which come with Newtype magazine. Somehow some Japanese raided Ashford Academy or something and hold Kallen hostage.

Suzaku:<\/b> Stop it! Let go of that girl!
Kallen:<\/b> Suzaku?
Lelouch:<\/b> Idiot!<\/i>
Suzaku:<\/b> I'll be your hostage! That girl has a weak body!
Lelouch:<\/b> ...Nope, I think that's the complete opposite... =_=;;<\/i>

Lelouch's monologue in that part is pretty amusing. And when he gets closer to the terrorist to use the Geass on him...

Terrorist guy:<\/b> Don't come! If you come any closer, I'll shoot this woman!
Lelouch:<\/b> Do what you want. It's not like that woman is my lover or anything. ( -.-)\/
Kallen:<\/b> Wha...? LELOOOOOOUCH >:E >:E >:E!!!<\/i>

Who wants the whole CD? It's the same one where Lelouch takes over the radio show and Geasses his seiyuu XD There's also a track where Lelouch has to yell random one-liners from the listeners into lockers. XD;; \"It not me who ate the pizza!\" \"I don't like middle school students!\"

But I've listened to R2's radio show LuluKuru and it's less funny. Even Radio SEED Destiny is much funnier, what with Auel and Shinn getting drunk and riding on a statue of a cow and Shinn getting his sushi microwaved. Well okay, those incidents happened to their seiyuu, but STILL. [\/random]

Continuing on. After school:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Where should we go to this time?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> A place you like is fine.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Even if you say that...

Of course, Kaichou butts in. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN OUR CLASSROOM D:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> Somehow, isn't it a nice atmosphere? (<---?)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> President! It's not something like that.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Jeez, the President... anyway, let's go out once we're done with the Student Council work.

I'm a nice boy, so.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> I'll help you out. :D

Lunchtime on another date. I poked Kallen, who's eating a bento. HOMEMADE FOOOOD.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> If it's fine with you, I'll make one for you next time.

YEAHHHH

And during Student Council. What kind of work does this school's Student Council do anyway?! I don't really see them working hard unlike P3's Gekkoukan High's Student Council. (LOL having to find a smoker and the President threatening teachers LOL and no, I haven't completed the Emperor S-Link so I have no idea how the smoker story ends) on the other hand, it's quite a peaceful school so they're so free<\/s>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> Uwaaah! He did it again.

I won against Rivalz in a game of chess. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley.<\/b> Rei, you're so stroooong! Rivalz, how many times has it been already?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> 21 times...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Ah, that's right! If the two of you duke it out<\/s> play, who will win?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> Ohhhh THAT I wanna see. How about it, Lelouch?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Hm? Should we do it?

Buttsecks? YEAH OF COURSE<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Aa, seems interesting.

At some point... (or another day, who knows)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> You're so mean, Arthur... T_T

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Arthur is the cat I brought here.

And the cat which I have to keep on helping you to hunt for. D: I wish Suzaku wasn't so GARRRRRR in R2. Hopefully, despite his MORE EMO MORE GARRR in the second season, we'll still get amusing cat-tops-Suzaku moments.

One day, Kallen tells me to meet her at someplace. The start of Black Knights!Kallen!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> I believed that you would come.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> I have something to ask of you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> I want you to fight together with us.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Rei, I think that you're most probably a Japanese. No, you're surely one!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Rei, let me introduce. He is Zero. The leader of our \"Order of the Black Knights\".

Of course Zero is like, \"....!!!!\" at me. (He only reveals that he's Lelouch towards the end of Kallen's route.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> Kallen... so you are a member of the Order of the Black Knights...

Anyway they give me an option to join. Kallen says that I can give some thought about it, but I join immediately because \"it seems interesting\" ahahaha.

Scene from Refrain episode.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> My... mother...

Anyway we are stuck with loads of the Refrain drug, so Tamaki makes a suggestion that I should try it and see if it will trigger any memories. I select the option with \"Will it work...?\" or something...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> No! Don't do it... don't...

If you pick the other option, she's more of GAAAARRRR but if you pick this one, she's more worried. X3
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Inoue:<\/b> Tamaki! It's because you said something weird! Even there's a limit to your jokes!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rei:<\/b> ...I'm sorry, Kallen.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> ... ...Okay...

Kaguya! I think she's cute. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Girl:<\/b> Ara? You are?

I say that I'm from the Order of the Black Knights, but of course she'd rather meet Zero.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Girl:<\/b> But it's fine even if you come. Because I'm such a big fan of the Black Knights.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Girl:<\/b> Please do your best from now on! :)!!

Part Two next time! It's more interesting because battles = getting myself into shit and getting shot by Euphie again (lol) = Kallen worrying = more CGs. :D

EDIT<\/b> Part 2<\/a><\/a>

Playing Eng version of Crisis Core<\/b> because I gave up on the Japanese one, too confusing<\/s> and... I realize I react to things real slowly. Every time that \"no MP used\" thing popped up, I will somehow forget to abuse it by using moves with MP until like 5 seconds later... And Lazard is so gaaaaay. Also.

Lazard:<\/b> He will be going with you.
Me:<\/b> CLOUD?
Tseng:<\/b> *APPEARS*
Me:<\/b> orz

I want Cloud and Aerith already. D:

For the sweet love of God, please stop sending me promotional leaflets and entry forms kthx.

I mean, yes, I was pretty excited last year because OOH CHANSU at winning over $200,000! But there were too many stuff to send back (send leaflet A back to win an extra $10,000! Paste this customer privilege sticker on the certificate and get the chance to win an extra $5,000! Return within 7 days to double your chances! etc) that I always put them aside. Amazingly even though I don't send anything back anymore, I'm still on the potential winners list lol. And it's for the 2009 Sweepstakes = results in January 2009! GLORIOUS! No thanks.

I procrastinated too much, so I have a lot of gameplay posts as well at stupid figure pictures to put up argh. Maybe I should do one gameplay post per week. I still haven't done a Part 2 for my Tsuchiura gameplay. *spanked* But here, have a pic of Persona 3<\/b>'s Shujinkou\/Minato!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
One of the reasons why I like Vocaloid's Kaito is because he looks similar to Minato. O_o<\/small><\/center>

I think P3's ending theme KIMI no Kioku (Memories of You) wouldn't have been such a sad song if he didn't sorta die at the end. T_T; Com'on, I can't be the only one who choked during his last moments in the game.

Suzaku gameplay post Part Two. Part One Goes Here.<\/a>

Suzaku shopping. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> 10 towels, 3 bottles of 2-litre mineral water, 20 (cups of?) pudding... yup, the usual.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> No wait, what's with the TWENTY (cups of) pudding?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Lloyd-san likes them. Pudding.

And when we get back...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> T-This is...?

NOOOOO CECILE-SAN YOUR DEFINITION OF SUSHI IS SO<\/i> OFF ARRRRGH. Actually I thought, Wow, those are some pretty mini cakes<\/i> until she mentioned sushi and I kind of died.

Then I get flashbacks about my past. Sweet! I like fainting boys. \/sadist
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Are? Rai, you don't seem to look well today.

So I lost consciousness! As you play the game, pieces of your memories\/past will come back to you. No idea how your memories will come back if you take the Student Council route, because so far your actions in battle will sort of trigger your memories. e.g. When Rai\/I\/you piloted in a Knightmare for the first time in the Black Knights route, you will feel that it seems familiar.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> You lost consciousness and collapsed. You have a high fever. When you've calmed down, please go to the medical centre.

But noooo I want to help out and need to pilot the blue Lancelot. The Katakana spelling for it is \"KURABU\" so uh, Club wtf??? Unless there's some sort of mythology behind it like Lancelot... whoever who can find a mythological-ish name which sounds similar to Club, tell me.

Cecile wouldn't listen and insists on me resting. So I Geass her. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> I understand. Get on the Club. :D

I come back in one piece, so.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Congratulations! Fuu...

Well, I actually don't remember if the congratulations part is regarding me coming back alive, but whatever.

And then it's that episode before the island one. You know, where Lancelot is trapped with Zero's Knightmare and the Britannian army are firing missiles at them. There's the whole announcement thing for Suzaku to stay put with Zero while they fire the missiles at them, so they can get rid of Zero.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> What?! Are they telling Suzaku to die?!

Lloyd isn't exactly pleased either.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Are they planning to destroy the Lancelot?!

He only cares for Lancelot... well, and Suzaku as a \"devicer\" orz I decide to go to Suzaku and Euphie wants to tag along.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Wait! I will go with you. Tell that to those over there!

She leaves Suzaku to me ahahahahaha.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> You don't have to worry about me, so hurry!

Oh, you know the whole Kallen going, \"It's Kallen Stadtfeld from the Student Council! Look at me!\" part? Since I\/Rai\/you are there, you will go :O KALLEN FROM THE STUDENT COUNCIL?! And I don't remember if the Avalon came and blasted stuff everywhere, but we did end up on the Avalon. I also conveniently get back more memories regarding my past. \/o\/
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> The past? Don't tell me... your memories have returned?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> That's great! This way, you no longer... Eh? What's wrong? You don't look too happy.

Because my past is shitty and much more tragic than your past, that's why. :D;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Maybe it would've been better if I did not regain my memories...

Schneizel nii-sama! This was pretty funny.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
You know how in some simulation games, (well, if you play dating sim ones), characters will blink? Because he actually has his eyes closed, you get a sorta reversed!blinking, as in he would open his eyes for a split second before closing again. Why the heck did they insert this in the game anyway?

LOL BATTLE LOL.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Here, Lancelot is doing most of the work.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I do nothing much. :o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> That's not it! I...!

Oh btw, this is still \"boku!\" Suzaku. Though I tend to go for emo boys, \"ore!emo!\" Suzaku in R2 kind of makes me go DDDD:. I want \"boku!nice!\" Suzaku back!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
At least I get a piece of the action too :9

Suzaku gets surrounded yay.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Suzaku... I'm going there right now! I'll protect you!!

... :D;; I told you Suzaku's route is pretty gay.

Of course Zero comes in to spoil my manly friendship fun. :( But this was pretty scary too, because my energy was going down and I thought, OSHIT THIS IS GONNA BE A GAME OVER but it was actually part of the story. Like in that ep where Suzaku runs out of enerdy and gets an energy filler from Zero.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> That is...!

I AM DETERMINED!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> But Rai, your energy... as welll...

Yeah yeah, free supply for Suzaku, but I don't remember if I got one too.

Let's have crazy gay Lloyd now.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Because you're an important Devicer, so I won't hand you to anyone. ABSOLUTELY. NFUFUFUFUFU!

School festival time! In which I was actually hoping if I could get the cheerleader Suzaku CG, but nooooope. I think I will have to go to the Student Coucil chapter and then access Suzaku's route from there. What's with all these split storylines, Geass game D:

But it was pretty gay nonetheless. How many times have I used \"gay\" to describe Suzaku's route now? XD And this is only the Britannia chapter; I wonder what his route in the Student Council chapter would be like.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Talk... you mean, about my memories?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Yeah, before this, you have mentioned \"It would've been better if I didn't regain my memories\" so I've been thinking\/worrying about that.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> You don't have to say anything if it's difficult. It's just that it looks like you're suffering.

Well, something along those lines, because it's a little difficult to translate directly. :D;;

So I pour out the whole story about my past. Uh, what was it again? All I remember is that it involves a war and I accidentally used my Geass (?) to order people to fight to the death, which ends up with my mom and younger sister dying and me Geassing myself to forget all the events. What am I, Lelouch No. 2? (Minus the younger-sister-dying bit.)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I met and know the current you, and I fought together with the current you. :)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Suzaku, why are you crying?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Because you are crying.

BAAAAW GHEI XD;; ALSO NEED SUZAKU X RAI FANART. Why yes, I actually like Rai. I doodled him before on my \"lunchtime doodle\" book.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I'm sorry for crying... I have to help out with the pizza-making, so I have to go.

And then it's the whole Euphie and her Nippon dream thing. Waaai. So fast forward to the time where she's supposed to meet Zero to have a discussion.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I guess Zero isn't coming after all...

Of course Zero turns up and wants to speak with Euphie alone.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> The two of them alone... I have a bad feeling.<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> It's dangerous for you to be alone with that man. At least let one of us accompany you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> It's alright. Please believe in me. :)

Of course Zero's Geass activates and there's the C.C. thing. Suzaku doesn't lose consciousness because I tell him not to touch C.C. heh.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Geass... but, who is...? It's not me... don't tell me...!<\/i>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Princess Euphemia, who's together with Zero, is in danger?!<\/i>

Meanwhile, Suzaku is all O_o?

So I try to go to Euphie but Darlton stops me. I happily use the Geass on him. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Darlton:<\/b> ...I understand. Do as you please.

Euphie has already started on her rampage due to Zero's accidental \"kill the Japanese\" order.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Your Highness! Please stop!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Please move aside. Or are you going to get in my way too?

And she shoots me many, many times before running off. :D;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> I'm still alive! Come here and kill me!

She comes to shoot me again. JOY! Despite her being Geassed, I try to override that Geass order by... using the Geass on her. :D;; My Geass is the same as Lelouch's, how cheap and unoriginal. :(
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> I command Euphemia Li Britannia! No matter what kind of people, you must absolutely not kill them!!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Please hurry and kill the Japanese!

Wow. BOKU WA MADA AKIRAMENAI WAAAAAAA
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> That's wrong! This is not what you wished for!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Return to your true self, right now!!!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> My... true... self...?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> That's right, your true self...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Me... the real me...

SUCCESS \/o\/

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Haha, I did it. I did pretty well... Suzaku... after that, everything's up to you...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> After that, Suzaku would surely do everything right...<\/i>

And I die. Okay, no. We get more ghei.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Rai! Open your eyes! RAI!!!

O I AM ALIVE

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Rai... Thank goodness. This is the inside of the Avalon. Lloyd-san and the rest came.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> What about Princess Euphemia...?

Of course she's fine. And the Special Administered Zone went through. Euphemia and Zero are BFFs!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Who really shot you?

I can't say that it was Euphie, so.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> I don't know... when I came to, I'm here.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> So it's the same for you too...Princess Euphemia too, she said that she doesn't remember anything about that time, it seems.

More manly friendship scenes.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I want to continue protecting this country. I want to protect the future of the new Japan. Rai, together with you.

*COUGHS*

And glorious CG!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yeah, the dirty blond-haired guy is me! This CG was the main reason why I decided to go for Suzaku's route. Does anyone have the CG for this? The sample CG in the magazine ad is too tiny to scan and churn into a decent icon. D:

Ending pics.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The last one didn't come out so well... it's supposed to be a shot of Euphie cuddling up to student!Rai.

Kallen's route next... but I should finish up my Tsukimori gameplay posts uuu.
<\/a>

Scanned in loads of stuff while listening to some furoku CDs that come with magazines... like that Geass Radio Special. I kind of snorted when listening to the radio show being taken over by Lelouch and him Geass-ing his own seiyuu. I mean, seriously, Lelouch talking to Fukuyama Jun is strangely amusing. It's like:

*door opens*
Lelouch:<\/b> The seiyuu called Fukuyama Jun and Sugiyama Noriaki! Are they the two of you?!
FukuJun:<\/b> EH?! Y-y-y-yes, that's right w-w-w-wait we're on air right now--- EHHHHHH?!

Lelouch wants to go on air so FukuJun and SugiNori are like, \"It's not so simple...\" and \"This guy is so reckless\" and in the end Lelouch tells\/Geasses them to stfu and takes over anyway. XD;; And then he tells Rivalz that he doesn't know radio controls stuff orz;;; (Rivalz, \"Listen Lelouch, this is where you talk.\" I THOUGHT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING, LULU) and questions the name of the radio show, why it's called \"YamaYama\" (Fukuyama<\/b> + Sugiyama<\/b>) etc. He later changes it to RuruRuru and Rivalz thinks that he has no naming sense.

And then Lelouch proceeds to badmouth about a demon living in his room and gets a phone call from C.C. who's apparently listening to the broadcast. XD;; He tells her to shut up too and \"What's wrong with telling the truth?!\" before cutting her off. When she calls again, he tells her to eat her pizza instead and cuts her off again.

...There needs to be some sort of fanart for the radio shows. D:

And yes, I'm still listening to this song.","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273490.html?view=comments#comments","category":["geass - suzaku","persona 3","games: code geass ~lost colors~","dating game lol","look ma no cut!"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273260.html","pubDate":"Fri, 02 May 2008 13:31:57 GMT","title":"[PSP] Code Geass ~Lost Colors~ - Kururugi Suzaku [Britannia Chapter] (Part One)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273260.html","description":"Yeah, yeah, Suzaku gameplay yay. Usually when I play dating sim games, I tend to go for my favourite characters as <\/a>summer88<\/b><\/a><\/span> has mentioned XD;;<\/s> and then neglect the rest. But then I saw a Suzaku-Rai CG in an ad so I was :OOO I WANT THAT CG and ended up playing Suzaku's route in the Britannian chapter. orz

And speaking of going for favourite characters...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I AM CLEARLY BIASED.<\/small><\/center>

Anyway, Suzaku's route (Britannian chapter) gameplay Part 1.

Actually I played Kallen's route before Suzaku's, but I kind of liked Suzaku's route more because it's funnier. Kallen's route kind of made me DOKIDOKI even though I'm a girl dammit but maybe it's the dating element that's making me excited<\/s>

The starting was the same, you\/me collapsing in front of Lulu and Milly. So I didn't bother taking pic of that part. I used the default name Rai for Suzaku's route.

Going straight to poking Suzaku wherever and whenever I can find him 8D This is during evening or night.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Eh? What are you doing in such a place? Rai.

I say it's the same for him fufufu. So I ask about his uniform too.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Ah, this outfit? That's right.... I haven't told you yet, but I am doing work for the military.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Well, you could say it's sort of helping out... but that aside, what were you doing?

I have come to talk to you, what else. D:

Before school, I think, and apparently Suzaku's in the library looking for a book. I AM BAFFLED.... or something, so I call out his name.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Shhhh! This is the library, so you can't speak in such a loud voice, Rai.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai: (ME)<\/b> Oh no, I know that but it's because I never expected to meet you in such a place, so I was a little surprised.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
SUZAKU'S BLUSHING FACE. :OOOOOO I think this is from when he asks if I could help him find a book. I'm a nice transfer student, so I said ok.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Thanks, that helps.

Sometime after school, I think this is when I met Suzaku at one of the ghettos... or me poking my nose around and him going \"wtf are you doing here\" at me or something. Either way, we bump into some Britannian soldier guy.

He's probably thinking that we look suspicious, hur hur.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Brittanian soldier:<\/b> ...Do what you like!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> It's better if you don't come here. I understand your feelings that you want to go to a lot of places in order to get back your memories but...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> ...Just some time before, the military and terrorists had a battle here.

Either before or after school.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I seem to be meeting you in a lot of places ne, Rai.

B-But I want to be gay for you so I have to talk to you as often as I can. :(

On another day, he brings me to one of those... big army vehicle thingies.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Ah, Cecile-san.

Ahhhh<\/i> Cecile-san! Are you dateable? O_o? I have no idea which characters you can go for in this game.

Anyway Suzaku tells the whole long story about me and OMG LOST MEMORIES and they're trying to determine whether I'm a Japanese or a Britannian.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> Well, first of all, I will have to take some data regarding your body. Please take a seat over here.

While getting (wo)manhandled or something...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Hello~ I am Lloyd Asplund. Nice to meet you, Rai-kun.

The results of searching data on my body...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> It doesn't bring up any ID hits? Fuuum, that's very mysterious. You, when you woke up, you were in the Toukyou (Tokyo) Settlement, right?

I think what he means by \"ID hits\" is that since I have no memories of who I am, Cecile gets data (DNA and stuff maybe) from my body and then runs the data through a database to see if there are any results of a person with matching data = it's me!

He continues his babbling.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Who knows. Maybe you could be a prince from a mysterious country? Ne, Rai-kun.

Triangle = Don't kid with me and X = You're a very funny person, so I pick X.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Yup, that's well said.

Suzaku says something to me. I try not to take pics of every single thing but I wish I remember what's going on here Dx This is what I get for posting this almost a month after I played<\/s>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Ah, that's fine. I'll go back now. You have work here, don't you?

At school.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Lloyd-san mentioned that he wants to meet you once more.

Lloyd has the hots for me hahaha I kid. I think he just views me as a test subject >_>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Yeah, he didn't give any reasons, but when he said that he wanted to see you, he seemed rather happy.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Even though there are times where I don't know, but he doesn't seem like a bad person.

Yeah Suzaku, even you think that Lloyd is strange. XD

So I have no choice but to meet up with Suzaku after school to go to that... military vehicle thingy. Lloyd's all fufufu \"I have something to show to you\" and then I don't remember what happened, but! He says something which makes Cecile go :( heh. I think I may have mentioned this in the first Geass gameplay post or a Corda one... who knows.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Eh? Why can't I? :(

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> ...Should I tell you? :DDDDD?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> No, I'll pass.

I LOLed.

Here's Lloyd's blushing face.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile is kinda freaky when she's too NIKO NIKO.

At... a church? I have no idea. Suzaku couldn't be found anywhere in the menu, so I decide to talk to Milly. And she ask me about girls, so I play flirty, fufufufu.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> That's right. But I think the Number One girl is Milly-san.

I was actually expecting her to blush or something, but apparently not.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> What are you saying? In that case, you should turn up at the student council more often, so that you can look at my face.

But I have military obligations!!! D:

Lloyd wants to use me as a guinea pig again... or something.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> You can't do that, Lloyd-san!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Eh? Why not?

Of course Cecile goes all :( at him again, so.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
*pats Lloyd* I think around this part of the game, I have already entered the Britannian chapter and being made a pilot.

Going to disturb Suzaku again at one of the ghettos.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> ... I... in order not to forget that I am a Japanese, I come here to look once in a while.

This is probably a side of Suzaku you won't get to see in the anime, I guess. I mean, sometimes I do wonder why he's on the Britannian side, and if he doesn't \"feel\" Japanese anymore.

Anyway advancing further into the Britannian chapter, we go for some sort of trial\/practice thing with Cornelia and her senpai. You know, I am actually a bit surprised that she's a little intimidated by her senpai.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Uh... who is the lady we fought against?

The lady, aka Cornelia's senpai...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Is none other than Nonette Eneagram. XD big boobs<\/s> She is<\/i> a rather nice and upbeat lady, always telling Suzaku and me to do our best, and a total complete opposite of Cornelia.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Eneagram... don't tell me, from the Knights of Rounds...?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nonette:<\/b> I am the Knight of Nine, Nonette Eneagram. Nice to meet you.

She talks a lot, encourages us (Suzaku was kinda like :OOOOO THANK YOU MA'AM) and cracks jokes about us aiming for Knight of One or something.

And after that on one random day.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious person:<\/b> I am not ORANGE! How many times must I tell you that?!

LOL ORANGE-KUN.

Anyway it's that battle where Cornelia's army joins in? I've forgotten if it's the landslide episode\/battle too.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Mission Complete.

THIS ONE SCARED ME SO BAD because I was really running out of power. And out of power = DEATH = GAME OVER. But luckily it was \"mission complete\" right there. What great timing. Dx

Anyway I don't remember who Suzaku is talking to. But I think it's me, because I remember vaguely going, \"This is so gay!\" half the time.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> I understand. Don't say anything anymore. I just want us (you? 8D) to come back alive.

I'm really sure he is talking to me in this one. 8'D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Battle \"videos\" look something like this. I'm probably piloting a Sutherland or something, since I haven't gotten my blue Lancelot. I forgot what it's called.

After the battle.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cornelia:<\/b> So you were fine.

She says something else which I don't remember.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cornelia:<\/b> Fu... it was a joke. I'm sorry.

Blushing Cornelia!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I don't know what I said, but most likely some sort of praises or something.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Thank you for saving my Elder Sister. :)

Why do all the Britannian royal family kids all probably take after their moms :o Assuming that the Emperor's hair was probably of the same shade as Nunnally's, it makes more sense that the kids all take after their moms.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Ah, Rai! I'm looking for a cat, will you help me out?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> A small, black cat...? Does it look something like that cat near your foot?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Arthur! When did you...?

I thought, the cat's gonna bite him<\/i> and yes it did.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Uuuuu! Arthur, why are you...? T_T;

Euphie shopping. (For groceries...?) Brain does not compute.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> I met you at Narita, right? ...If I'm not wrong.... you are Rai-san.

I ask her what she's doing, which is kind of obvious orz
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> This is a shopping mall, isn't it? Of course I've come here to shop.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Euphemia:<\/b> Well then, I will excuse myself here. Let's meet once again, Rai-san.

At school again.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> If it isn't Suzaku. What are you doing?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Ah, Rai! I'm looking for a cat, so will you help me out?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> Again, huh...

Even I was thinking the same thing =_=;
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Yeah, again. >_<

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai:<\/b> So. What did you do to Arthur this time till he ran away?

Actually I don't remember. I think he was<\/i> trying to do something. Was it cleaning or something? Anyway we find Arthur a short while later.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Saa, Arthur, let's go back to the Student Coucil room... UUU!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I'm curious as to which part of Suzaku's body Arthur is biting now.

Back to Lloyd and Cecile. Since I don't have an ID = I don't have an identity, they make one for me.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Here, this is your ID card. It's the real thing. Nfufufufu.

They have a present for me!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rai<\/b> ... I don't believe this. You're giving this to me?

After all that...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> Happy Birthday, Rai-kun!

They decide to make it my birthday because I was given an ID card. Hur hur hur. Actually they tell me to look at my card, and then, \"It's your birthday today!\" before the whole HAPPY BIRTHDAY thing.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lloyd:<\/b> Maa, something like this once in a while is good. Nfufufufu!

The nfufufus... You are not Mizuki Hajime, Lloyd. D:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> Saa, there's cake here too. I made it! And then... do you know of \"onigiri\"?

NO, NOT ONIGIRI, CECILE-SAN DDDD:

She proceeds to tell you that it's a type of food from Area 11 which people eat during\/after work. Suzaku has been a victim of her onigiri already, so.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> Aa... Rai, be careful of the onigiri...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Cecile:<\/b> Oh dear, why?

But you, you put blueberry jam in those! T_T;; Jam with rice and seaweed urghhhhh.

Part 2 next time, probably on Sunday if I don't procrastinate. :D

EDIT<\/b> Part 2<\/a><\/a>

Need to replay Neo Angelique<\/b> game again, since I am determined to catch Rayne no matter what. I wonder if that online guide I used to cheat my way through for Haruka 3 has a NeoAnge page too...

Speaking of NeoAnge, the game disk (for the full voice version) comes with a trailer for Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4<\/b>. It's the one here:

[Link instead?<\/a>] I was like WAO when I viewed the trailer on TV. Looks even better than Haruka 3. I guess that three-month delay was kind of worth it if I'm going to get pretty Persona 3-like graphics. (It was supposed to be released in March and I pre-ordered in January, imagine my PAIN when the release date got pushed to June.) I'm gonna go for Chi no Suzaku\/Nagi, that bitchy-like boy\/classmate you first see. *icon* Which is kind of strange, because I wasn't too fond of the Chi no Suzaku characters in the previous Haruka games. And actually the team in the trailer is kind of my ideal team, because I like Nagi, Kazahaya and Oshihito. Heh. That's why I like Neoromance games, at least they're not the visual story book kind, because those kinds get kind of boring after a while.

Because yesterday's a public holiday and I took today off, I keep thinking that today is Sunday, only to realize that I still have two more days ahead of me before Monday. Ah, how nice. ♥","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/273260.html?view=comments#comments","category":["geass - suzaku","games: code geass ~lost colors~","dating game lol","look ma no cut!"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/268884.html","pubDate":"Sun, 06 Apr 2008 07:12:26 GMT","title":"[PSP] Code Geass ~Lost Colors~ - First Gameplay","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/268884.html","description":"I spent almost two hours walking down the Orchard Road stretch yesterday trying to find a fsking money changer >:E Considering that it's a tourist\/shopping area, there should be bountless money changers, no? The usual one at Ngee Ann City I always go to would only change for 10,000 yen. I tried the one inside Takashimaya and they would also change for 10,000 yen. Walked to Kinokuniya and checked out new manga for a while, before walking to Cineleisure but still couldn't find one. (Okay, I checked only the basement and 1st storey.) Crossed over to Heeren, the so-called trendy shopping mall, but no money changer! But the information counter guy said that there's one at Orchard Point, so I went there. Finally someone who would change for 7,000 yen!

And then I crossed back over to Cineleisure to go to Rapid Culture and see if they have Figma Lulu in stock, but apparently he was sold out. Uuu. (I had around $30 extra due to weak US currency which means my game+shipping bill is S$219 and not S$250 as estimated :D!) Walked all the way back to Kinokuniya to buy some manga.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lol old laptop. Sent my Vaio to Sony Service Centre too for repair =_= You know, I'm kind of glad Figma Lulu was sold out so I could buy Corda 10, because there's the textless TsukiHino pic on the inside of the front cover sleeve! Geass manga is so messed up that I'm confused.<\/small><\/center>

There's also an ad at the back of Corda 10 with a half-sketch of KAJI. WHY YES ♥ With text like, \"There's a new member participating in the Corda World?!\" and a line with something like, \"Don't wait for the next volume, check the monthly LaLa ne? ♥\" which sounds so Kaji-ish. I hope Kure Yuki's seriously going to permanently include Kaji in the manga now eeee. He's my favourite guy in Corda 2! Anyway there's also a Lamento<\/b> manga which I initially picked up, but decided to put it back. I like Konoe, but I'm not too familiar with the canon since I haven't played the game. Because the cover of Rai is cool-ish, a guy picked it up and was probably pondering to get it or not, and added it to his pile of manga to buy. I almost felt like telling him that it's based off an R18 BL game so there may be BL hints...

Code Geass ~Lost Colors~<\/b> first gameplay. Which may be boring, because I didn't get an ending with any of the characters. Playing Suzaku's route now, he makes me lol so much what with the whole, \"...Have you seen a cat?\" \"AGAIN?\" \"...Yeah, again.\" and pudding-buying. As with my Hinoe gameplay post, I no longer bother trying to brighten up the camera images hur hur.

I'm actually lazy to do a gameplay post about my first time playing the game since it's mostly a tryout thing and I wound up with nobody. Oh well. Kallen's route has over 140 pics so I'm not sure if I should split her gameplay post into two.

\"DSC03368.JPG\"<\/a>
The start screen image. I remember staring at Lelouch's body and going O___O; at the sunken parts around the abdomen area.

The game starts with C.C. talking about the whole Britannian \"Let's invade Japan!\" conquest. The annoying thing is you can't skip it during your first gameplay. =_=

Anyway, I somehow land at Ashford Academy. A-Also please take note that I thought I'm playing as a GIRL so I picked \"Hikari\" as my name. Because Nurul means \"light\" and \"hikari\" has the same meaning. lolol. I had no idea I'm playing as a guy because back then in January when the ads first came out, people were saying you can play as a girl and go date all the boys...
\"DSC03369.JPG\"<\/a>
Suspicious person (read: ME):<\/b> Where... is this place...?

\"DSC03370.JPG\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> ...Hm? Someone is coming...<\/i>

Apparently it's kaichou and fuku-kaichou, and I conveniently collapse in front of them.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Male student:<\/b> He lost consciousness? Those clothes are... he's not a student. What should we do, President?

Of course they decide to throw me into the student council room, where else.

When I wake up...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Female student:<\/b> Ah, you have woken up?

She introduces the student council and asks me for your name. The main character will go \"Boku wa...\" and then you pick your name (Katakana only). I thought, Some girls also use \"boku\"...<\/i> so I picked Hikari, yar. =_=
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> Hikari, ne. It's a nice name.

Just pretend it's Hikaru, okay? And the default name is Rai, but it's so boring-sounding.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> I'm Shirley. Nice to meet you!

I like Shirley, actually. She makes things interesting.

I think someone asked a question about you.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suzaku:<\/b> You said you don't know... you don't have any memories?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Milly:<\/b> In that case, until you get your memories back, it's better to bunk in<\/s> stay here?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Rivalz:<\/b> Ohhhhh! That's a nice idea!

I guess I get to stay near where Lulu and Nunnally are staying, seeing that I can poke my nose around in Lulu's room sometimes...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Sometimes you'll get this menu if you don't have a compulsory event to sit through. Since I was going for Lulu, I decided to go wherever he is at. :D

On another day when Lulu isn't around, I decided to go to a street where Shirley's at. Of course I ask her what she's doing there.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> That's my line. I'm out shopping!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Un... just a little...

I don't remember what she's looking at, but I think they are bridal gowns to dress Lulu up in<\/s>. I vaguely remember her talking about marriage or something.

On another day, I meet C.C. on a street and got a Geass flashback! The character you're playing as is capable of using Geass, btw.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C.<\/b> That is your \"world\".

Uh yeah, C.C. was droning on and on about the \"King's World\" stuff.

Going around in Ashford again. I meet Nunnally this time.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> Eh, I-I'm sorry.

I think she mistakes you for Lelouch or something, where she calls, \"Onii-sama?\" when you enter the room.

One day before school, Lulu isn't around in the academy (he doesn't go out, so you can't meet him in the streets) so I decided to disturb her.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Girl:<\/b> Nyaa? Nya~ nyan.

Uh yeah, it's Euphie. No sign of the cat though.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Girl:<\/b> Good afternoon. :)

I'm not sure if she's dateable in the PSP version, because a lot of the Euphie CGs I have seen are always on the PS2 version's ads...

Lulu still isn't around after school, so I decided to talk to Shirley.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Today you're alone?

She mentions something like she didn't expect you to be the \"lonely\" kind of person, I think. I don't remember \/o\/

Disturbing the Vi Britannia siblings again. 8D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> I'm so happy that you came again.

Lulu's face is kind of \"meh\" :D;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> I'm grateful to you, Hikari.

*dies about the Hikari name thing again >_>*

Nunnally talks to you about something either before or after school. I don't remember. But there's an option which goes, \"It's a date, heh?\" and I decided to pick that one.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> ....Eh, ehhhhhhh?!

She's actually quite cute hehe.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> I-I'm sorry. I was surprised.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> What should I do? My heart is dokidoki.

LOLOLOL

I have no idea what happened here.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> TAKE THAT BACK, RIGHT NOW >:(

Ah, well.

C.C. knows that I'm a Geass user, btw.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C.:<\/b> Don't tell Lelouch and Nunnally that I met you.

That's odd, there's one time where Lelouch asks me what the heck I was doing in his room and I mention that I saw a green-haired girl there.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> You've come at the right time. I want you so search for Rivalz or the President.

Anyway, there's an option where I can choose \"Look at Lelouch\" or \"Look at Nunnally\". I mentioned this to <\/a>recession<\/b><\/a><\/span> that I picked the former and Lulu isn't exactly pleased XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Wha-? D-Don't mess with me and enough of that!

It was then I was like, \"So I guess I AM playing as a male character...? Oshit I picked HIKARI.\" I'm-gay-for-Lulu aside, he then says that I seem like Nunnally's brother (i.e. I act like a brother to her).

He's on the roof another day.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Hikari! ...What, are you running away from President's demonic hands as well?
Me:<\/b> ...\"Demonic hands\" eh?<\/i>

When he mentioned \"kaichou no akuma no te\" I kind of snorted XD;;

One day, I am going to the roof and overhear Lelouch and Nunnally talking and I discover their secret!11! Please ignore my fingers and dust on the PSP screen. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> That's right, Nunnally. But it's useless now.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Because both Lelouch vi Britannia and Nunnally vi Britannia are dead.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> We can't let anyone know that we're alive. Do you understand?

I conveniently make a noise.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Who's there?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Hikari, did you hear that?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Nunnally, I'm sorry. I'm going to talk to Hikari for a while.

I already suspect that he is gonna Geass me to forget ahaha. Lulu you're so predictable.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> ...I'm going to have to make you forget... all that talk!

But because Nunnally is nice...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> Please wait, onii-sama! It's okay.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> I understand, Nunnally. If you're going that far... then let's trust him.

He uses \"kare\" for me so I was AHAHAH I'm a guy after all.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Hikari, don't mention anything about what we have talked about until now. Alright?

I said okay. :o

Kaichou using English.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
She pronounces it as \"To kill two bars with one stun\" and I was like HUH?

One random day, I meet this guy. Of course he mentions C.C..
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> ...He knows C.C.?! No, wait. Something is strange.

Then C.C. asks me to join the Order of the Black Knights, so I said ok.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C.:<\/b> ... ...This is surprising. To be honest, I thought you would turn it (the offer) down.

Since Nunnally likes me and I KNOW I AM A GUY, I decide that I might as well chase for her. Sayoko and Nunnally are having lunch, I think.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I get to feed her. She thinks it's Sayoko who's feeding her, though. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally:<\/b> Hikari-san, w-why?! And I a~ned too, how embarrassing...

Anyway, I get to meet the head honcho. Of course Zero\/Lulu goes \"!!!\" at me (in which I ask if he knows me) and I AKJSHAKJHJ at Kallen and she AKJDHKA back at me.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> This is quite a surprise. But are you really going to fight?

I usually skip through the battles\/Black Knights stuff. I like school stuff better. XD;;

Meeting Lulu and him talking about his family again...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> Euphemia and I have different mothers, but we're close.

Lelouch killing Euphie was rather tragic, but I don't care about Euphie and I like Lelouch, so. But Euphie survived in my Kallen gameplay when I Geassed the arena and she didn't do the massacre order. More on that next time.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch:<\/b> When Cornelia goes to meet Mother, Euphie, Nunnally and I would always play together...

Random talk with Kallen.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> You'd better not die too. I'll be in trouble.

In which she was \"why?\" XD;; But in Kallen's route, she's the one who doesn't want you to die, and she keeps saying \"Let's do our best together!\" countless times.

Time for revealing Suzaku's identity!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> The pilot of what the Order of the Black Knights' members called the \"White Kabuto\", is Suzaku.

Kabuto is a kind of beetle or a helmet, and I don't know how Lancelot is like a kabuto...

School time! Shirley likes asking me where Lelouch is. :D;; I'm not his secretary or anything...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> Uun. You have your own things, Kallen has her (sickness) reasons. Suzaku-kun has his military obligations\/work...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shirley:<\/b> But as for Lelouch, huh...

I like that face.

And Kallen.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kallen:<\/b> Zero... I will protect Zero!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Giving Tamaki and Ougi some screen time. Haha.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Something-kid:<\/b> This looks like a fun island. Well, then.

V.V. BROUGHT ROLLO ALONG. Rollo is so shouta, but...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> This boy is dangerous!

The first time I played, tried to use Geass on him and he gave off this V.V. smile and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Slashed me. Wheeeee. I reloaded the game and had to fast-forward C.C.'s conversation.

Anyway it's a spin-off of the Kaminejima episode. Because I'm in the place with all the crazy Geass symbol thing, I get a lot of flashbacks\/my memories back. And got seen by Lloyd, Schneizel and that guy whose name I don't know har har. Actually my Geass is kind of going out of control in this scene, so those three get Geassed ufufufu.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Schneizel:<\/b> ...Very well. Leave him alone.

And yeah, I regain my memories.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> You remember, don't you? Everything.

I ask to leave the Order of the Black Knights.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Me:<\/b> Thank you. But it's of no use. I can't be here.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Zero:<\/b> ...What are you going to do about school?

Zero, you're giving too much away =_=; Well, he takes off his mask during Kallen's route. He also wants to hear reasons about my wanting to leave, but I don't remember much.

I go back to Kaminejima to meet V.V. again. He's the one who gave me the Geass power. :o
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
V.V.:<\/b> Nice to meet you, Hikari. My name is V.V.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
V.V.:<\/b> I've been waiting for you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
V.V.:<\/b> You don't have to be afraid. Because I know about you.

The game ends with your Geass kind of spreading out. (The no date\/route ending? XD;;)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The characters in the ending are all screencaps from the TV series. Feh, cheap. But then again, if they use new art, I'll whine about not being able to use it unless someone rips the CGs.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hm Rollo. He looks older in the game, and more helpless uke in the anime.

Anyway, apparently I turn into colourful light bits or something, because there's a pretty video where uh, yeah, colourful lights fall all around the Tokyo area.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Lelouch is keying in something, when he turns around from his seat and looks out the window, as if realizing something. Lulu y u so pretty. :D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nunnally has some kind of sad, confused look on her face. I hope I didn't die or something in this ending.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
C.C's one is rather pretty, because she's looking out of a balcony thing into the sky and her lips move, so I guess she's saying my name.

Kallen's with the student council. Suzaku... I don't remember seeing Suzaku in this ending, unless he is with the student council shot or something.. :D;;

Kallen's route gameplay post up next, unless Suzaku's is more interesting, especially the Lloyd-Cecile interaction scenes. Everytime Lloyd questions Cecile about something he's not too pleased about, Cecile will go, \"Do you want to know?\" with a NIKO NIKO face and Lloyd will be like, \"Uh, no thanks.\" And shopping with Suzaku is hilarious especially when I ask him about him buying 20 packets of pudding, which uh, really stand out when the other stuff we are buying are military-related groceries. XD I'm only into Day 15 of Suzaku's route, so I haven't reached the school festival bit, which is around Day 20+.
<\/a>

Am I the only one who likes Kiva<\/b>'s split-storyline? The whole jumping from 2008 to 1986 and back to 2008, because there are just so many questions. I mean, Otoya claims that Yuri's his \"woman of fate\" and all that, but seeing that they have kids separately 22 years later, you wonder why they never wound up together. And since Wataru's a half-Fangire\/Fangaia\/whatever Toei is calling them, you also wonder what kind of Fangire Otoya met later on and how she even ended up with since he's so obnoxious lolol<\/small>. And Nago and Megumi-chan should totally snark at each other more. Also why do I not have a Kiva<\/b> icon D:

I haven't written about the L movie <\/a>summer88<\/b><\/a><\/span> and I watched last week...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
But my sis took a pic of it as a memento! The last part of the movie was lol-worthy, the audience (at least, those who know about Near) laughed. Kouhai mentioned that Maki (girl with teddy bear) should have been female!Mello, since her name starts with M and they have similar hairstyles.<\/small><\/center>

Too bad camera phone wouldn't work when I tried to take a pic of a pair of Very Hideous Socks someone was wearing before that but urgh. Also hur hur at them planting a table selling (Mandarin\/Chinese) Death Note<\/b> manga right in front of the cinema entrance.

Hinoe route from Haruka 3 gameplay~

You know, I've already forgotten how the story started. You're asked to choose a date for your birthday, and I picked my own birthdate. After selecting my birthdate, I think it started with me\/Nozomi saying that it's nearing Christmas and then a slew of options in which you can button mash your way through, before you see Hakuryuu and get thrown off to the other world with Masaomi and Yuzuru. XD I picked the default name, Kasuga Nozomi btw.

You'll end up witnessing a fight between the demons and Saku + Hakuryuu team and then joy, you get dragged in! (Nothing to worry about, the battle was easy. Koei's not that mean to throw you, a no-level miko into a battle with high-leveled demons. OH WAIT THEY DID THAT FOR THE FIRST TOMOMORI BATTLE. lol spoiler<\/s>) Then Yuzuru will come to save your butt yay! During my first gameplay, I was DDDD: because I wanted to chase after Hinoe, and didn't want Yuzuru. But later on you will learn that the character's appearances are fixed, unlike in Corda when you get to choose who you want to speak to first. So no matter what, Hinoe will still be the last one of the Hachiyou to appear T_T

Blah blah blah, advancing into the game story. As the miko\/priestess, your power consists mostly of restoring your party's concentration (aka MP in the Final Fantasy games... oh heck, I'll call it MP here), doing combo attacks with your Hachiyou depending on which members you select, or just attacking normally with your sword. You can't heal, sadly, only Benkei and Saku can do that. Which is why I stick them in the opposite ends of the oval, member-switching thing (if you play the game you'll know what I'm talking about orz) so no matter how I switch around the members, I'll have someone who can heal. There's that one option beside the \"escape\" one which I don't know what its use is. ._.

When you do the combo attacks, of course your Hachiyou will lose some of their MP, which is in some kind of orb thing. This was when I was restoring Yuzuru's MP:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Yuzuru:<\/b> Eh... n-no, it's nothing. I'll do my best.

He's one of the two from your world. Masaomi (his elder bro) + him + you = childhood friends! Apparently he has a crush on you or something. But damn, he's quite good in battles. Also check out Benkei being hidden by Yuzuru's speech bubble thing, heh.

This was when meeting Kagetoki for the first time:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious (not, really) guy:<\/b> *humming a tune, going funfunfun<\/i>*

I didn't expect him to be a sort of laidback-ish person. And Saku's brother? He's so much different from Saku.

FIRST MEETING WITH HINOE YAAAAY. Why is he the last one of the Hachiyou to appear -_-
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Nice to meet you, Princess. :3

He's a flirt. *WEAK* Plus he's a Takahashi Naozumi character! I became a Haruka fan because of his seiyuu. =_=; It was in 2001, and I was Digimon 02-obsessed, so I hunted for TakaNao's other roles (which includes Yamato from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne<\/b>... yes, I turned into a Tanemura fan from 2001 even if the romance makes me D: sometimes<\/s>) and came across Haruka 1. It has SekiTomo, Hoshi Souichirou and Ishida Akira too! I'm sold!

Too bad Haruka 2's character designs were mostly ugly, so yay for Haruka 3! Continuing on...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Atsumori:<\/b> You haven't changed, Hinoe.

That's Kira Yamato. I didn't care much about Eisen in Haruka 1, but loved Motomi in Haruka 2 and because Motomi looks like Eisen, I started liking Eisen. Gaaaaah. Eisen and Motomi has uke!Hoshi Souichirou voices, but Atsumori had a more rough, oyaji-ish!Hoshi voice. *shot*

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Yo, if it isn't Atsumori. Long time no see.

Apparently Benkei has also known them for some time. I guess it makes sense now why there are a few songs sung by the Hinoe-Benkei-Atsumori trio, (for some reason Hinoe's always singing last...) including the Haruka 3 short anime opening. GRAB IT >F<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Since when have you met\/known Princess?

Curious little butterfly. :3

After some time, Hinoe disappears, so Nozomi goes all like *SHOCKED* but as for Atsumori...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Atsumori:<\/b> There's nothing to worry about. He just jumped into the trees. *NO EMOTION*

Atsumori's probably the Tsukimori of Haruka 3... except that he plays a flute. Maybe he's the lovechild of Tsukimori and Yunoki ---oh wait, let's not go there.

As part of the storyline, shit happens, you somehow become helpless but not to worry, because Hakuryuu will come to save you!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi\/me:<\/b> What....? Whose voice....?

I, I prefer shouta!Hakuryuu. =_= Plus small!Hakuryuu has Pikachu's voice, so cute.

Hinoe will join you much, much later in battle. It'll be a battle between a demon and only the two of you, but it's no big deal since the demon is weak against one of the elemental types. (Nozomi's element is wood, while Hinoe's is fire.) At the end of the battle:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Nozomi, you're the ultimate Goddess of Battle!

This kid likes to heap praises onto you.

Sometime later...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> As expected, you're the fighting Princess.

One of your team members will say something at the end of the battles, so one of Kurou's ones...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kurou:<\/b> H-how do you say this... uhm... you did well.

Embarrassed Kurou is so cute. That's SekiTomo's chara. I'm considering chasing after him next because he looks like Tenma and Tenma is my fave character in Haruka 1. :D

Hinoe again ♥
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Good morning, Princess. Just a little bit more and I would've been able to see your sleeping face, but too bad.

And then tralala, I was a total n00b, so I had no idea about the whole \"everyone will die\" in the first part of the game. Hakuryuu sent me back to my world, but I decided to come back and fight. GO ME. But you see, the game is divided into chapters and since Hinoe was the last to appear, he only appeared in the fifth or sixth chapter, which was nearing the end.

Because I didn't know, I thought I had to go to the sixth chapter because I'd have met him already but nope. I ended the game with NOBODY. Yeah, won the fight and all, but no boy. XD;; WHICH MEANS I WASTED 5+ HOURS AND HAD TO RESTART. But <\/a>minrathous<\/b><\/a>\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Would you come with us?

This was when we were trying to sucker him into joining our merry little team.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> I'll be fine if it's just the two of us though. :3

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Eh... with everyone...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Too bad. Then, I guess that won't do.

GEH, this kid.

Oh, in battles, sometimes the demons will aim a shot at you, and sometimes your team members will jump in front of you to take the damage instead. The more you fight in battles with them, the higher your rapport with them and the higher the chances of them protecting you. And if you fight with the same team members, they'll build rapport with one another too. I used to take Saku and Yuzuru on the team with me all the time when training up (before meeting Hinoe) that they now have high support for each other and protect each other all the time. XD;;

But anyway, this is after a time when Hinoe takes a shot for me :DDDD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> To attack a girl... isn't that cowardly?

I like this face\/expression best, for some reason.

And after he takes another shot for Ridvan.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ridvan:<\/b> Protect the priestess, not me.

WHY SO UNGRATEFUL, SENSEI.

Aaaaaand nearing the ending for the first part of the game, where it's a compulsory death scene for everyone! Here's after Tomomori killed me off<\/s> defeated me in one shot.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> T-To lose in such a place...

I was DDDD: during my first gameplay. Because I have always been a training up h0, there was no way I was too weak for him but after he attacked me, my HP depleted so fast IMMEDIATELY so I figured out that it was part of the story.

But actually, I don't hate Tomomori. He's so bad boy seme and he was popular with the gamers, so I guess that's why Koei made him dateable in the next two Haruka 3 games. I myself can't wait to chase after him (but I must complete the others' stories uuuu).
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tomomori:<\/b> Saa, come out... Priestess of Genji...

And then yeahhhhhh the whole Hakuryuu sending you back to your world. Then you will be thinking, \"What about that person...?\" IN WHICH I PICKED HINOE OF COURSE. Lol @ how you can pick which guy to think of.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Kawaii ne, my Princess.

Of all the things you remembered about Hinoe, Nozomi. >_>

Yada yada yada, I wish to return and POOF I returned! Of course I\/Nozomi asked around since she\/I was confused and the last thing she\/I remembered was flames all around. Nozomi asked Hinoe where she was.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Haa? Of course we're in Kumano.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> I've returned... everyone is here, and everyone is still alive.<\/i>

See Ridvan-sensei's face? He's the only one who realizes something is amiss from the questions I asked.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> If this goes on, it will be the same as before!<\/i>

Ridvan-sensei likes asking weird questions.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Ridvan:<\/b> Are you able to stop the flow of this river?

In my first gameplay, I skipped through the text but saw \"flow\" and \"river\" and thought that it was the \"river of time\" or something ahahahaha.

Skip skip skip oh look, it's shouta Hakuryuu with Pikachu's voice.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hakuryuu:<\/b> I like you, Priestess, I really like you :DDDDDD

If it's shouta Hakuryuu, it's cute, but adult Hakuryuu gives me the creeps orz

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hakuryuu:<\/b> When my powers have returned, I want to grant your wish.

Yeah, he's in kid form because his powers haven't returned. If only your powers never returned but oh wait, it they didn't return I wouldn't have been able to jump across time...<\/s>

Ohhhh yeah, you gain the time switch powers which enable you to go back into time and choose a chapter to start anew and overwrite the future DEATH\/EVERYBODY DIES chapter. Like I mentioned earlier, the first time I played, I picked the 6th chapter because Hinoe's already there. But according to the online guide, you'll have to pick the 2nd chapter, even though you haven't met Hinoe. So I went along~

And re-met Hinoe! You bump into him...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Ah, Hinoe-kun...<\/i>
Text box #1:<\/b> Thank you for saving me.
Text box #2:<\/b> Do know me?
Text box #3:<\/b> I came to meet you.

Guide says pick #3 so okay, I went with it. :o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> The truth is, I came to meet you too.

According to his profile, he takes a great interest in you. So even though he doesn't know who I was, I guess he has heard that I was coming and decided to be a busybody... I dunno, I played this two weeks ago, so I don't remember.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Aa, it's really Hinoe-kun, the way you speak.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> ...Hey, really... have we met somewhere before?

YEAH MUCH LATER IN THE FUTURE IN WHICH YOU DIED :(

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> It feels like this isn't the first time we've met.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Eh, really, where have we met?

And yeay gem time, which indicates that he's a member of the Hachiyou.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hakuryuu:<\/b> Un, besides that, Hinoe is the Suzaku of Heaven (Ten no Suzaku).

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> \"Ten no Suzaku\".... don't tell me...

Welcome to MY harem.

So while walking around places trying to find the places for Hinoe's other events and bumping into Kurou along the way, I somehow ended up in a place with sakura trees and unlocked two events. One is a story event (Nozomi CG) and one is Kurou's.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Wah~ such pretty sakura (petals). It's like walking beneath pink-coloured snow.

Pink snow. Hmmmm.

And the CG from Kurou's event.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Because I was skipping the conversations trying to get to Hinoe's events, I have no idea what happened. Oh well, I'll play for Kurou next. (Unless Masaomi distracts me or something)

And then you get taken or kidnapped by some guys who load you onto a ship but Hinoe comes to the rescue!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Don't you know who I am? And you call yourselves seamen.

He turned out to be the head of the Kumano Navy. XD;;

This expression is kind of cute too:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Un? What's wrong?

And when Kurou finds out about Hinoe being boss, he had an 8O! expression.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Hm? Kurou, you didn't hear that from anyone?

I think Kurou himself is a General of the Genji army or something? *doesn't remember*

Let's give Benkei some love XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> What kind of person is Hinoe-kun's father?

I skipped through the conversations (because I was trying to get Hinoe's ending as soon as possible) and they did talk about Hinoe's father. I'm not sure what happened to him, but I think he was also formerly in the navy? *bad memory*

And another Hinoe event hee hee.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Come on... stay still for a moment.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
According the the text box, he gave me \"shinju\" earrings, whatever that is.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Waaah...!<\/i>

Yeah, she's blushing.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Fufu, just as I've thought, they look good you. Kawaii yo.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> R-really?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Nozomi, when all these fighting have ended, come to Kumano with me.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> I have chosen you. Ne, Nozomi, be my girlfriend.

Actually he said \"be my onna\/woman\" = girlfriend in a well... more ruggard manner. XD;;

Following the guide, I said some nice things (I was supposed to say). I'm too lazy to open up the guide again, so I can't check what I said.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> You're cute when being honest, Princess. You can't take back those words just now.

One of the battles again, when I restored Hinoe's MP:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Fufu, how cute. You were worried about me?

And the Kayokushoujin attack which killed me (me as in ME not Nozomi) because of the cheesiness!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
This is the spells\/combo list. The kind of spells you can do depend on which of the Hachiyou + Saku + Hakuryuu you currently have in the battle with you. I have Hakuryuu and Benkei with me now. I could do some earth-related spells because Benkei's element is earth. See the octagon box thing with their names and the elements in the top left hand corner? Yah. The green thing is your HP and the circular thingies are your Hachiyou's MP. You can do any spell you want as long as the people you're doing the spells with have enough MP, if not, you'll have to restore their MP. Or go to a restpoint and restore both their HP and MP. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The spell attacks are usually targeted at ALL enemies, while if you attack with your weapon, you can only go for one enemy at the time. The enemies I'm currently fighting are of the metal element = weak against fire wheeee.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Nozomi, saa, come here.

The lines which made me curl up and die XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Let the flames of moe<\/s> love (LOL) turn into wings! Kayokushoujin!

Notice how the other party members are absent unlike in normal spells. XD Ad yes, Hinoe has his right arm around me hur hur hur.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
CHECK OUT THE FLAMING FEATHERS.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Ma, just watch. I'll defeat the Heike and definitely surpass my father.

Ooooh.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> And when that happens, I will say, \"You're the beeeeeest!\" (to you?).

Er, somewhere along those lines? Kanji and grammar = weak.

Oookay battle time. Switched around and dumped Hakuryuu for Yuzuru. XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
1st box = attack normally (with your sword)
2nd box = spells
3rd box = restore MP
4th box = switch around\/rotate your team members
5th box = run away (I was fighting Tomomori here, so I couldn't run away. And big deal about his high HP; he's of the metal elemental type = weak against fire = KAYOKUSHOUJIN HIM TILL HE'S DEFEATED!
6th box = this is the one which I have no idea what it's for. Look at your Hachiyou's stats?

Even though he's defeated, Tomomori was still happy. He's obsessed with Nozomi because she's a \"strong woman\" in his eyes. (Maybe that's why he ended up popular with the gamers and was made dateable in the expansions....)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tomomori:<\/b> Maa na... I've found a great woman.

Masaomiiiiiii I do like you, but what's with the Masaomi-Nozomi bias in Kurenai no Tsuki<\/b> ~_~

Oh, at the start of battles, sometimes your team members will say something too!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> No matter what kind of opponent it is, in the end the ones who will win are us, right?

Hell yeah!

And then the guys who kidnapped me from last time (they joined Hinoe's navy after that because they have no balls) betrayed Hinoe and threatened to do something to me again. Yay.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random navy guy:<\/b> Hold on! Don't you can about what will happen to this woman?

AND THEY CHAINED HIM TO A POLE AHAHAHA. Hinoe's looking uke here.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Hinoe-kun!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random navy guy:<\/b> Ciao! Go and burn together with the ship GAHAHAHA! >:D

And then Nozomi emos so...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Don't cry, you idiot... because I can't wipe away your tears for you now.

After that he frees himself and Nozomi goes like D8!!! It was kind of funny.

We bump into Tomomori and gang again, in which I defeated the kid with the ugly red hair. The Asakawa Yuu chara.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tomomori:<\/b> Father! Are you alright?

That kid with the ugly hair is your father? D:

He orders to retreat.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tomomori:<\/b> Father... what are you...?

Like true-blue baddies of course they talk about how it's not the end and that their power will be stronger than yours blah blah blah...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> What the heck, for bastards who talk big, they sure ran away pretty fast.

I don't remember if we fought Tomomori yet again, but this was sometime before the final battle.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tomomori:<\/b> You're an interesting woman, Priestess of Genji...

Actually he said \"ii\" = \"good\", but \"interesting\" would sound better. XD;;

Battle at the seas!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random (good) navy guy:<\/b> Touryou! (Leader\/Boss) It's such a strong storm!

Harsh stormy weather or not, we made it through 8D

We defeated Tomomori's Dad whose-name-I-have-forgotten, so yay!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Aa, you did well, Princess.

Since your job is done, you can go back to your world, but...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> I guess I will have to go back to my world...<\/i>
Text box #1:<\/b> Hinoe-kun, thank you so much for everything up till now.
Text box #2:<\/b> I really like you.
Text box #3:<\/b> If I could, I would always want to stay by Hinoe-kun's side.

Guide prods you to select the second box. OKAY SINCE IT'S A CONFESSION.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> But from now on, I guess we'll have to be separated... (I THINK?)
Text box #1:<\/b> I will always pray for your happiness, Hinoe-kun.
Text box #2:<\/b> Somehow, my tears came out...
Text Box #3:<\/b> Don't forget about me.
Text Box #4:<\/b> I will no longer be able to fall in love with another person on Earth.

Guide says you'll have to pick #2, so I did that.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> I won't let you go back.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Eh? But...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Even though your duties as a Priestess (?) are over, you're still my Princess.

I think I must've skipped some parts of the convo...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> Hinoe-kun...
Text box #1:<\/b> Really? I'm so happy!
Text box #2:<\/b> I-It's okay?
Text box #3:<\/b> Do you think I will come with you quietly?
Text box #4:<\/b> I'm sorry, but I guess I have to return to my world after all.

I wonder if you'll get a bad ending if you select the last one. *DIDN'T DARE* Guide tells you to select the 3rd box btw. A-Also Nozomi, what about your family in the real world? O_o; (But from CGs from Izayoiki, Hinoe can come over to her world? YAY.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Ne, you like me, don't you? Nozomi.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Nozomi:<\/b> *blushing* Jeez, Hinoe-kun, you're always like that.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> Of course, because I've always liked you.

And apparently Hinoe's navy crew are eavesdroppers, because...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random (good) navy guy:<\/b> Priestess of Hakuryuu BANZAI! Boss BANZAI!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Random (good) navy guy:<\/b> BANZAI! BANZAI! BANBANZAIIIIIII!

._.;

And the final CG:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hinoe:<\/b> (Because my) Feelings are overflowing, and they won't stop.

LOL CHEESY~

The CGs!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The one with him leading the navy is during a battle between the Genji and Heike, in which he has to leave your team for a while to bring his navy over, and where you would go, \"I believe in Hinoe-kun and that he will definitely come\" etc.

Not checked for grammatical or spelling errors. :3 I want to go off and play Sims 2 again...<\/a>

Haruka 3 Izayoiki and Unmei no Meikyuu + Code Geass dating game coming in at the end of this month eee. Why am I buying more games than I can play =_=

Oh, I must be the only person who isn't too fond of Kita Shuuhei's version of KIMI no Kioku<\/i>. ._. I do like the music, but the singing... eh. Plus, there's something odd about having a guy sing a song with \"watashi\" in it... If it's a Haruka song, fiiiiine, but if it's a song originally sung by a female singer, then ehhhh.<\/small>","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/263821.html?view=comments#comments","category":["kr kiva","dating game lol","look ma no cut!","games: harukanaru toki no naka de","haruka 3 - hinoe"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/261535.html","pubDate":"Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:00:01 GMT","title":"[PS2] Ouran Koukou Host Club - Suou Tamaki (+ some P3 lolol)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/261535.html","description":"What, it's already 9pm?

Kinda like how when it's almost exams time, I'll be procrastinating but when it's my holidays, I'll be bored stiff. :\/

Because <\/a>lilliathari<\/b><\/a><\/span> and I think Lelouch is better than Light...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
When Lulu > Light, it becomes a classic case of Not As Planned. :D<\/small><\/center>

I think Ayli once mentioned something about a doujin where Lulu was worshipping a potrait of Light or something though.

I thought of doing the Part 2 post for Corda 2 Tsukimori gameplay, but I wound up trying to finish my Tamaki gameplay and yes, lots of headdesking...

The first chapter was about Haruhi's old friend Sayuri and some guy she liked... er, Majime? Majima? O_o? Anyway these are all from the second chapter onwards. The sorta pool amusement park thingy. Since I was going for Tamaki, I stuck with the Tamaki-Kyouya group. There's an option of going to the pool or the jungle-like place and...

THERE ARE CROCODILES WTF. WHY ARE THERE CROCODILES? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR FAMILY, KYOUYA D:

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> Tamaki... senpai?

Yay for Tamaki pulling you towards him but I think we all fled anyway lolol<\/s>.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The relationship bar thing. I know the Ouran game is by Idea Factory, the same company which did the Hiiro no Kakera<\/b> games (they also shamelessly advertised the HnK games in the Ouran booklet hur hur) but even the relationship bar menu is the same as HnK's! =_=; As well as the options menu (during gameplay) being at the top of the page.

One day, we get a Very Much Male guest.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> ...The host club is here, isn't it?

He wears an earring on his left ear ARGH MY WEAKNESS.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> ...Leo? :o!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> Ah, Tamaki! :)!

This guy is so Tamaki-like sometimes IMO.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Text box\/Haruhi's thoughts:<\/b> And the person called Leo suddenly hugged Tamaki-senpai.

That's not a hug, that's more like a kissu.

The game decides to give you a close-up of the CG. O_o
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> I'VE MISSED YOUUUU TAMAKI!

He reminds me of Kamen Rider Kabuto<\/b>'s Kamishiro (whose actor was supposed to play Tamaki in the fake rumours of live action Ouran) and his constant, \"Wa ga tomo KaGAmi!\" (My friend KaGAmi! <--- stressing on the GA)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> O-o-oi, it tickles, Leo. xO!

Where are Leo's hands?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> ...You remember me, don't you? ;_;?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Aa, there's no way I would forget. x3!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> TAMAKI.... ♥

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER? poor Kyouya<\/s> And what, the conversation isn't complete without emoticons. Leo is Tamaki's friend from his days growing up in France. The Host Club is also impressed with his Japanese heh.

On one fine day, Haruhi (ME) and Leo are talking and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> AAAAAAAAAAAAA---------------!!!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> W-W-W-W-W-W-WHY?! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> A greeting? :o?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> That is France! THIS IS JAPAN!

Uhm, I know I have some French people on my flist... how do you people do greetings? I think the nose-rubbing ones were Russians?

Of course Tamaki goes all \"Daddy\" this and that...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> Daddy? Tamaki is?

And he ends up confusing his poor friend.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Aa, that's right!

He isn't helping. Heh.

Of course it's the whole separating into teams thing again (i.e. part of a ploy to separate the plot, just like in the HnK series).
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> My and Kyouya's \"Kuma-chan Team\"! Hikaru and Kaoru's \"Futago Team\"! Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai's \"Usa-chan Team\"!

Kuma-chan = Tamaki's Teddy Weddy, \"futago\" means \"twins\" and Usa-chan = Honey-senpai's bunny.

Of course, I have no choice but to pick the Tamaki-Kyouya team...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> That's right, the Kuma-chan Team! 8D!!

And then there's some sort of competition with the guys from Leo's school. I skipped most of the conversations, but it turns out they had to catch a cat or something. Cat climbs up a tree, Haruhi (me) goes up to get it, and I was like, \"lol predictable plot, Haruhi's gonna fall off the tree and Tamaki catches her or something\" and... yeah.

The branch Haruhi\/I is\/am on breaks so the baby and the cradle<\/s> Haruhi and the cat come tumbling down~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> I made it in time...

And then it is another chapter into the game? I skipped the conversations again. (I find the game kind of boring since it doesn't have challenges like in the Neoromance ones e.g. in Corda you have to practise and in Haruka you'll have to fight demons in which I suck in because two of my Hachiyou I dragged along in the last battle in Haruka 2 kept on taking turns dying so I had to revive them =_= I mean, when I revived A, B died and when I revived B, A died WHYYY<\/s>)

Anyway, yay, shopping in a commoner departmental store. As usual, it's the Tamaki-Kyouya team. I thought maybe they're gonna give me a clip of the Demon Lord i.e. Kyouya being forcefully woken up, but since this is Tamaki's route, he says that when he tried to wake Kyouya up, Kyouya gave him that demonic face so it'll just be the two of us! How convenient.

Oh, this part is so NDS. You know how NDS has that Stylus pen thing for poking around?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
You see the red arrow there? When it changes into an exclamation mark, you can poke the boys there. XD

And if you wait too long, Tamaki will talk to you. (I was trying to get a decent pic, dammit.)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> So this is a commoner's world!

These rich boys >_>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I go to Tamaki's hand!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Are you going to hold my hand?

Or something like that. XD;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> If you (become a lost child) get lost, then it'll be troublesome, isn't it? So bear with it for a while.

Got rid of the text box.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Senpai's hand is biiig.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> If Daddy is with you, you won't (become a lost child) get lost! There's nothing to worry about!!

I'm talking about you, not you talking about me. =_=;;

And with that, he shows that he's the Daddy = HE CAN LEAD THE WAY\/THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT but.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> Tamaki-senpai, that's the toilet. ._.

I don't remember what happened, but cute face!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> ....Mou, let's go back? >:

I don't know how this happened either 8D;;
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> Wait, the both of you!

And then after that they gave me a video clip of the twins fighting from the uh... fifth episode? The one with the Nekozawa doll with the \"HAZURE\" at the back.

I don't know why Tamaki disappeared for some time (something about rumours?) but I found him in the rose garden, say things that made him happy, and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> Uh.... Uhm, Tamaki-senpai...?

CHIKAI NA, SENPAI.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
It's NDS action time again!11!


Tamaki's words if you wait for some time (I'm still trying to get a decent pic D: patience, man)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> ...What's wrong, Haruhi?

CHIKAI SUGIRU YO.

Because I decided that it would be funny if I were to go for his ear 8D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Can you see the exclamation mark there?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> That tickles, Haruhi.

You'll have to go for his lips anyway...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
But no kissu scene WHY instead you'll get a slightly altered CG and random rose petals being blown by the wind. =_=

And then someone snapped a picture! Oh noes! What would the students think if a pic of the school's Chairman's son and another guy (well, the only people who know that Haruhi is a girl are the club members. And Sayuri. I don't think Leo knows) in close contact gets published? TAIHEN DA.

But anyway, stuff happened, me\/Haruhi gets attacked by some guys (from her cries of \"Stop!\" and all that, you would think she was gonna get raped O_o), Tamaki goes all seme on them and RAAAAAARed at them where's the originality in this<\/small> and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Are you alright, Haruhi? ;o;

Check out my self-inflicted<\/s> predictable<\/s> injury!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Looks more like a burn mark, ooh.

Anyway, I said I'm fine.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> What \"fine\"?! It became this red...

OMG NDS TIME AGAIN
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
You can poke his head (in which I wonder what Idea Factory was thinking, because if you're the injured person, would you go around touching people's heads?)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
And his shoulder...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> You don't need to worry about me.

I wonder why he says that when you try to poke his shoulder, because it's not like he's injured or anything...

The right part to poke was either of his hands.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> I will no longer let... anyone hurt you...

Cheeeeesy, senpai.

The altered CG:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
What's with that face >.>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
AND LOOK WHO CAME IN TO SPOIL OUR FUN

Haruhi\/I ask him how long he has been there.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> Do you want to know? *GLEAMS*

I was DDDD: NO THANKS but when I pressed the O button to continue the conversation, Haruhi said the same thing hehe.

Let's give this guy some attention.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Mitsukuni:<\/b> Nee, nee, Haru-chan, does it hurt? Are you alright?

I still don't get this ranking thing. Character's opinions? (All I know is that when you earn some moolah off the girls, your ranking will go up)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
TamakI:<\/b> AS EXPECTED OF DADDY'S GIRL! xD!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The relationship bar thing again. Blushing Tamaki is so odd. Well, in HnK2, it's the same. When I was playing for Akira, he had a funny blushy face too.

Twins love?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hikaru & Kaoru:<\/b> Bad people (should) just go back!

They were talking about Leo's gang.

Of course I\/Haruhi scold(s) the twins. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Leo:<\/b> It's alright, Haruhi-kun. What the two of them have said... it's the truth after all.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hikaru:<\/b> The ones who should apologize aren't Leo. :\/

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaoru:<\/b> Shouldn't they be those two over there?

Anyway, we all kiss and make-up, and suddenly Tamaki has a brilliant idea! PARTY! In which I\/Haruhi question if they can play any musical instruments.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kyouya:<\/b> I can play a bit of the violin. :)

SERIOUSLY, KYOUYA-SENPAI? D: *WEAK FOR VIOLINISTS*

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Piano, for me.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hikari:<\/b> That's right, Tono (Highness) can play the piano.

We all know that. ._.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaoru:<\/b> I wonder what I should play~

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Haruhi will do the vocals!

HARUHI CAN'T SING, REMEMBER? SHE LIP SYNCHS IN THAT BENIBARA EPISODE.

Anyway, yes, Haruhi said no.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> It's alright, since it'll be a duet with Daddy!

I reject him again.

His reaction?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> But why~ Haruhi~~~~

He doesn't give up.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Daddy will surely teach you properly, ne?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> NO THANKS.

Of course he emos. Or something.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaoru:<\/b> That's right... how about Hikaru play the guitar, and I take the bass\/base?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hikaru:<\/b> Ah, that might be good!

Hikaru~ so cute.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Mitsukuni:<\/b> I think Takashi (Mori-senpai) would be good with the drums. Because he's in the Kendo Club.

W-WHAT IS THIS LOGIC, HONEY-SENPAI D:

And so they decide on a band name. Tamaki thinks of \"Haruhi and _______\" I can't remember.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> ...Please don't use my name.

And so the twins decide.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hikaru & Kaoru:<\/b> Then how about Twin Stars?

I'm reminded of the \"soeboshi\"\/twin stars bit in CLAMP's X<\/b><\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Wait, wait, this is not just your band, you know!

Full CG!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I wish I know how to extract CGs arrrrrrgh want to make icons.

Some parental love? Hur hur.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Mummy! The kids are being rebellious! ;o;

Tralala, we get an ending after that, and an epilogue. Shopping with Tamaki lolol.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Haruhi, what's the matter?

I said it's nothing.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Don't tell me... your money...?

Tsk, rich people.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> How rude. I'm fine.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> The fact that I can go shopping with Haruhi... DADDY IS SO VERY HAPPY!

Haruhi\/I must've said something.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The text box there says GAAAA---------------N and this happens no less than 10 times in the game<\/i>. It's also the cause of my constant headdesking.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Uuuu.... Just when it's finally the two of us, Haruhi wouldn't get along with me.

Haruhi being Haruhi.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Text box\/Haruhi's thoughts:<\/b> Jeez, what a troublesome person.

Haruhi said something nice again.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> WHAT? IS THAT TRUE, HARUHI?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
He gave her a ring lolol.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
IT LOOKS LIKE A KIDDY CANDY RING. Maybe it is.

And Haruhi being her deadpan self as usual...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi:<\/b> Uhm senpai, if you don't let go of my hand, I can't move, you know?

And then the game ends~

The start of the game before the menu shows up. You'll get a different guy each time.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tamaki:<\/b> Welcome, my beloved Princess. *SPARKLE*

Tamaki's CG gallery.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
ONE MORE CG TO GO ARGH

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Sayuri, Haruhi's old friend and the only new person to know that she's a girl (duh). I don't think she know the reason for Haruhi's crossdressing is the 8,000,000 yen debt though. XD;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Haruhi and Sayuri as kids, with Fujioka-mama.

I wanted to go for Hikaru next, but since Kyouya-senpai's so cool, I might go for him instead. But my Haruka 3 game should be coming in tomorrow or Tuesday, so I might play that one instead. (Hinoe or Kurou or Masaomi? Who should I chase for first?)

Oh, since I bought the limited edition version, it comes with a booklet of some lineart as well as a CD thing with seiyuu talks and the characters lines, and choked on my drink when I heard Tamaki say, \"Everything is according to plan! >:D!\" Well, he did mention that line in the series B-BUT STILL. D:<\/a>

And some Persona 3<\/b> yay. I took pics a long time ago but never got the chance to put them up. I still have the onsen one in my lappie.

Fuuka er, upgrading her Persona.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I loved Juno's design, which was why I claimed Juno for the Persona blogcrew. (Well sexy Messiah and Titania were taken.) I also liked the idea of Fuuka being in that glass-like orb thing.

Celebratory party.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks Mitsuru's father is hot? =_=;;

Picture time!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
My younger brother, \"I bet you like this Ken kid because he wears short shouta shorts.\" Me, \"HOW DID YOU KNOOOOW :D\"

We didn't give Koromaru any sushi. :D
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hehe.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
It's rare to see Akihiko cursing, so I took this? Hmmm I love Akihiko. So cool but so dorky.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
This was after Junpei got fatally shot and Chidori revived him at the cost of her own life (OMG SPOILER but who cares). Sanada-senpai so coooool.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I'm not too fond of this expression of his. It works for that onsen part after Mitsuru's \"execution\" though. XD

The Devil Social Link. I love President Tanaka \\o\/
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
This was when he asked you if you have ever wondered about what's underneath people's shirts or something, and when you say yes. XD The more crazy you are with this guy, the more impressed he'll get. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Crazy, crazy guy. And then he tells you not to tell anybody or he'll sabotage you. =_=;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Junpei shaking hands with Shujinkou lol. Am I the only person ho doesn't see the gay in the game? I mean, I don't see Shinji\/Aki or Ryouji\/Shujinkou or even Mitsuru\/Yukari. ._. (I seekritly ship Orpheus\/Shujinkou because of that one gag strip in one of my P3 FES books =_=)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I'm a Shujinkou\/Aigis fan. XD Well, I love Shujinkou\/everybody...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
When exams are nearing... and man, they do take exams rather frequently. (We take them only twice a year! but we have lots of tests...)

Because I'm studious...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
:o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Junpei's reaction is win. Tee hee hee.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I took this one because I was the only one who's :D while the rest are tired. I became tired after this battle, though. And this is my favourite team. ♥ I brought this team when fighting Nyx. (Of course I leveled them all up to Level 99 HAHAHAHA there was no kick in the final battle, because it was too easy.)

And you know how at the end of the game where people from the maxed out Social Links will appear and say how they're supporting you and are not scared despite the whole The End of the World thing? For President Tanaka:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
My sis and I loled so bad at this.

My second cycle! This is during the first Full Moon boss battle. I happened to like the image of Tartarus towering in the background, though it wasn't very clear.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Because the saved data was carried over, I was Level 99 and I still have my equipment from the previous game. (Yukari is carrying the Mary's Resolve bow, the most powerful bow in the game XD;;; Attack: 400) I didn't even have to use my Personas! One stab with my Excalibur and the boss is dead. ._. Ah well, I am<\/i> Level 99 and equipped with the most powerful sword...

Of course since the data was carried over, I'm already Rank 6 for Courage, Charm and yes, Intelligence...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
So the exams was a breeze. \\o\/<\/a>

Because SekiToshi = Rey and SuzuKen = Shinn, I have seen a couple of Momo!Rey and Ryuu!Shinn fanart around hur hur.

I like all versions of Double-Action<\/i> (except the GAOH form =_=), but Aniki and I both like Gun form best. Our favourite Imagin is Momotaros, but I have a soft spot for Deneb ♥<\/small>

Speaking of Kamen Rider<\/b> series, in the next episode of Kiba\/Kiva (i.e. today's ep!), THERE'S KATOU KEISUKE HOMG YES. *FANGIRLS* I mean, I do love Seto Kouji's Wataru and all, but I was twitching around in my seat waiting for Katou to appear. Plus as the \"hunter\" he seems the bitchy type (kinda like Yuuto when he first appeared lol) so I AM WEAK<\/s> ♥ I know <\/a>amamiyarin<\/b><\/a><\/span> just wants more of a certain Mr Frankenstein hehe. Aniki was like, \"So this Katou Keisuke... D-Boys or PureBOYS? D:?\"

And ajshla so looking forward to the Den-O\/Kiba movie because Momo!Wataru? Rawr hot. And I think Otoya and Urataros would totally be BFF, but they didn't say anything about Urataros appearing in the movie uuu.

And I wish I have Paypal for these<\/a>. ;__; I want the 4th Nakamura Yuuichi photoset because it's his bitchy Yuuto face lolol<\/s> a-and the Kamiyama Ryuuji ones and arrrrgh KENN and Hidemasa ;_; Nevermind, I will wait for your photobook, Yuuichi! I'll probably get Katou Keisuke's too *coughs*<\/small>","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/261535.html?view=comments#comments","category":["d-boys","ouran game - tamaki","tokusatsu: kamen rider kiva","dating game lol","kr den-o","games: ouran koukou host club"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/256895.html","pubDate":"Sun, 30 Dec 2007 09:00:49 GMT","title":"[PS2] Kiniro no Corda 2 - Tsukimori Ren [Len] Part 1","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/256895.html","description":"Re: Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3: Kurenai no Tsuki<\/b>
What's up with all the nekkid-ness in the opening? O_o? As well as the abundance of Masaomi x Nozomi everywhere I mean, I do like Masaomi but more of Nozomi x everybody plz and yes the Miko tops<\/s> The song is very, very pretty though. Hm, Atsumori + Benkei + Hinoe ♥ The animation looks pretty cheap compared to Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Maithitoyo~<\/b>, but then again, Maihitoyo<\/b> is a movie = bigger budget. Nozomi's so kickass; she does a lot of fighting for a Miko. I like my tough, pink-haired girls. 8D~~ And wow, I've never expected to see so much blood in a Haruka series.

I screencapped a lot of Nozomi for icons. Mmmmm Nozomi. There's so little Hinoe that I'm sad.

As mentioned before, all Kaji's CGs getto! *pleased*
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I was right, to get the remaining Kaji-grabbing-you and the sitting-on-desk CGs, you'll have to go through the non-lovers route. Tactics by Koei to make you replay this game over and over again. Hur hur.<\/small><\/center>

Corda 2 Tsukimori gameplay post Part 1~

At the start of the game when you meet Kaji in the morning.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Aa, Hino-san!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy:<\/b> Fufu, good morning.

And he seriously disappears in the blink of an eye after that. O_o

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Hm...? Who's that, just now? Was such a person in Seisou Gakuin?

Apparently Amou knows every single person in the school. Fear her stalking ways.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> The colour of that tie... he's a 2nd year just like us, right?

Anyway, it's time to pull some people into your ensemble~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> What do you want with me?

So grouchy after school. Dx Fuyuumi's automatically in your ensemble no matter what. What a nice kouhai~

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Oh, Tsukimori-kun! Doumo! You're in the right place!

...Of course he refuses to join the ensemble. So after much thinking (on the game's part), we decided to go over to Shimizu.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> Good afternoon. Are you going to practise here?

NO WE NEEEEED UR HALP

We asked him about the ensemble...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> Hai, I will do it too.

SAVIOURRRR

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> Let's go to where Tsukimori-senpai is.

So we go back to Tsukimori.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Well, if it isn't Shimizu-kun. What do you want with me?

*insert Shimizu-talking-to-Tsukimori scene*
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> That's right, Shimizu-kun will be participating in the ensemble. *HINT HINT*

Thanks to Shimizu, Tsukimori was easily suckered into participating.

But.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> It's not like you have to thank me for it.

Let him be bitchy for now and be awed by his bigi-ness<\/s> transformation later. *sobs at his ending orz*

Somehow we end up exchanging numbers\/e-mail. I dunno, I rarely use my phone except as an alarm clock and sending text messages to friends. Waugh, Hino's so lucky, getting to keep the numbers of the guys *_*
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Fuyuumi:<\/b> I understand. Er, my address is...

Speaking of exchanging addresses, Tanuki and Mamo (seiyuu for Tsukimori and Kaji respectively) did that live on stage amidst the screaming of fangirls XDDDD and they even pointed out where the bluetooth\/infrared (who knows, I'm really dumb when it comes to cellphones 8D) points on their cellphones are at.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a> \"Photobucket\"<\/a> \"Photobucket\"<\/a>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a> \"Photobucket\"<\/a> \"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tee hee hee. Then Mamo tells Tanuki to keep his phone for him while he sings, in which Tanuki went, \"But I had my cellphone with me when I sang! D:\" Oh, <\/a>amamiyarin<\/b><\/a><\/span> said that they're gonna be in a drama CD for something together so yaaaaaay.

One new thing about Corda 2 (when compared to the first game) is that you can practise with the guys, so you can call them up lol.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Practise together? Aa, it doesn't matter to me. Where should we go?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #2:<\/b> I see, that's good.

Er, I think you bump into him or something.

I was in the library or cafeteria, and I see Tsukimori studying!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I don't need to translate the \"...\" heh. Looks like he's writing a score? Composing music?

Kaji meets Tsukimori for the first time.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Aa, \"Tsukimori\"! As I thought so.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Do as you please. See you later, Hino.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Anyway, what's your name?

Kaji x Tsukimori is my fave crack not!violin romance pairing orz

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> The concert's tomorrow, isn't it? I'll be coming as well. I'll be looking forward to it, ne.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I see Suspicious Guy #2~ oh, for the first concert you won't get to buy a dress. =_= So Lili will give you a white one. Or maybe this is just plain laziness on Koei's part so that they won't have to do six other versions of this CG of you\/Hino in different-coloured dresses.

Another day of bumping into Tsukimori in the library...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> I suppose he is really studying for a test?

Anybody can tell it's an application form. ;o; I knew it's the start of \"Tsukimori is going to Vienna\" uuuuu.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...No, it's nothing you have to be concerned with.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> Application form...

It's kinda cute in Hiragana.

The \"Kaji the Scary Hino Fanboy\" scene. The one where he sees the pictures of you and goes all \"I'LL BUY THEM ALL\" at Amou. ._.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ah, I want those!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Un, it doesn't matter to me. The things I want, I want them.

Actually the first line is more of, \"I haven't thought about it\" = \"I don't care about it\"?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Do you really want them so much?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> In that case, one (picture) is 3,000 yen, so five of them are 15,000 yen. How about that?

Of course Kaji agrees. KAJI YOU CRAZY PERSON T___T; I could buy a Lelouch doll with that amount! Or the new VOCALOID2<\/b> .02 Kagamine Rin\/Len<\/a> series! (Well, I am<\/i> one of the many Miku fanboys<\/s>girls, but I'm a typical cheapskate Singaporean, so of course I would go for \"two for the price of one\" and I am more impressed with Rin's voice.) Even the Haruka 3 Treasure Box costs lesser than that. 5 photos for 15,000 yen is ehhhhh. Go search for a currency converter online and convert that amount in your local currency.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Eh, wait just a min---

Yes, Kaji did pay up immediately and didn't even flinch at the price.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Come on, take out the pictures. :)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Thank you, see you later~~~

Kaji the Now Happy!Fanboy. ._.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> I was just kidding, but he really bought them all.

Anyway she gave me the 15,000 yen to pass back to Kaji. AMOU YOU ANOTHER CRAZY PERSON, KEEP IT. T___T;

One day, somewhere...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> Un....

In my Kaji gameplay, I got this scene too, but Kaji and Amou were with me and we stuck clips into Shimizu's hair. Heh.

On a Sunday.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Ah, it's the sky.

...Aaaaaah<\/i>, it's the sky-loving guy.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAY. Not Hino's but miiiiiiine. It falls on Hari Raya this year ~_~<\/s>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The circular avatar thingies with Tsukimori and Shimizu's heads are flashing = event with them!

Shimizu's event was the sleeping one again... but with Kaji and Amou this time! AKA Hairclip time!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> The one who's sleeping over there is Shimizu-kun, ne?

And then Kanayan stopped us. Geh.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
For Tsukimori's event, I'll have to talk to him. See the golden bits around him?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Text message from Tsukimori on my birthdaaaaaay~

On the roof:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Aa, Hino. You come here rather often too.

Only because you<\/i> go to the roof often. =_=

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Hino, shall we go home together today? If you're fine with it.

Tsukimori's going home together lines are always the same, even from the first game. It's always, \"NAME HERE (kyou) issho ni kaeranai ka? Kimi sae yokereba.\"

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I'm sorry for making you wait. Well then, let's go.

It's the leaf whistle thing.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...How nostalgic. My father taught me this a long time ago.

One day while going back from school, Kanayan or Kira disturbed me.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kira:<\/b> In that case, why don't the three of us go together?

I don't know why the game lets you, a 17-year-old girl, go to questionable places with a teacher and the school chairman but whatever. 8D Kanayan isn't very sure about Kira bringing me along, but I agree anyway.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kira:<\/b> See, it's an OK. Saa, let's go, shall we?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kira:<\/b> Well, then, let's order something.

Waugh I wanna sit next to Kiraaaaa<\/s> In the end, I didn't get to order anything; they only got juice for me, of course. :D;;

Sports event? I dunno.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> That's right, Kaji-kun and Tsuchiura, which event are you participating in?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The text box is asking which character you'd cheer for, and of course I went for Kaji. Because Tsukimori's not participating. (I think I will die laughing if that boy ever attempts to run in a race.)

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
In the end, Tsuchiura and Hihara won together, I think.

One fine day, Hihara's finding people to sucker into<\/s> help giving out flyers or surveys. I don't remember. He gave Shimizu 50 pieces and then Tsukimori happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> U~n, because Tsukimori-kun is Shimizu-kun's senpai... so here, 100 pieces!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...Ha?

And then I laughed. |D

On performance day! I think it was the second performance.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
His reaction when he sees you in that blue dress.

Remember me saying something about some of the characters meeting up after school in the Kaji gameplay post? This shot is from that scene:
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> 5 people... 5 people can't ride (i.e. fit into Yunoki's car).

Short date after practising on a weekend.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Today, is there anything you'd like to see?

Of course he then mentions that the violin stuff are on the third floor of the shop, so you'll feel compelled to go to the 3rd floor. orz

Library again.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I'm sorry, my eyes are hurting.

Contact lens problem again? :D?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I like Paganini's songs.

Yeah, I adore the Caprice no. 24 bit in Tsukimori's Fill my heart<\/i>.

Another short date after practising on a weekend again~ we go to a cafe, where the waitress accidentally drops a glass\/cup\/mug. Whatever it is, it broke. This is my favourite Tsukimori event scene. *_*
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Text box:<\/b> What will you do?

Of course I'm a nice person, so I picked the first option, which is to pick up the broken pieces. And also knowing that if I do so, Tsukimori's gonna throw a hissy fit. I mean, even picking up a piece of shell is a no-no to him. XD<\/small>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Hino?!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Waitress\/shop person:<\/b> Ah, Miss! (Actually \"guest\", but \"Miss\" sounds better)! I will pick up the broken pieces myself so...

I help her anyway. :Db

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Waitress:<\/b> ...I'm very sorry.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Stop it, Hino.

I ignore him. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I told you to stop!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Waitress:<\/b> (poor girl XD;;) Ah, uhm...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I apologise for raising my voice. However I can't just stay quiet (about this).

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I can't just stay and watch if you hurt your finger(s).

Awwwwwww it's the \"hurt the fingers\" thing again lol<\/s> but okay. :o In one of the Corda 2 books, there's a 4-koma of the same scene where after the lecture, Hino was going, \"He... LOOKS LIKE A MANAGER.\" XD;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Hino, can you see Fata here too?

Ever since the first game ahahaha.

One random day~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> The wind is chilly. Aren't you cold?

WHY DON'T YOU HUG ME<\/s> *shot*

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I'm fine. :\/

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Somehow the winter coat for the Gen Ed students look sexier.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I don't know why Tsuchiura wanted to go home with me one day, so I got this.

Aaaaand on another day, it's Shimizu. So cute.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> This CD, it's (Kelt? It's spelt as KERUTO *eyes Febby*)...

Dance party after the concert~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Hino, so you are here.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Because I don't know what kind of flowers you like, I got something I like...

Er, somewhere along those lines. I hate long sentences. >_> Anyway I'm like that too when it comes to buying gifts. I'll pick something I would like.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> This may be the first time I'm feeling this nevous.

Hell yeah!

He pins the thing to my boobs<\/s> chest area...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Ah, thank goodness. It looks good on you.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Fuyuumi:<\/b> Have a great night, senpai.

Dance scene.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I want... to feel your warmth.

That sounds so perverted. I should really play Under the Moon<\/b> for my dose of perverted!sekuhara!Tsukimori, but... too scared to play it lol.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> If that's fine with you, let me walk you back to your home?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> It's already so late... and I still want to be with you more than anything else.

When this boy is in lurrrve, he gets rather cheesy.

He sends me a text message too at home!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I've just thought about it just now... I may have talked too much today.

No kidding, his lines at the dance scene were really long.

Miku is somewhat a mascot for a voice synthesizer programme, Vocaloid.

But anyway, I ended up listening various parodies of songs in her voice on Youtube and I AM HELPLESSLY ADDICTED TO THIS VID<\/a>. Well, mostly the Ievan Polkka<\/i> bit at the back with the FFVII BGM. Remember the catchy tune in that famous 2ch Orihime leek spin vid? (Sadly, leekspin.com is down\/removed.) It's that song. Whoever made the vid (the first part is a parody of the Lucky Star<\/b> opening) is pure genius. Btw, apparently the Miku Nendoroid sold over 10,000 units within first two days of apprearing online for pre-order and GSC had to shut their link down for a while XD;; And here I am, ordering TWO<\/s><\/small><\/a>

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYLIIIIIIIII~

Yesterday I met up with old friends for dinner and stupid photo-taking and Kino! Newtype Romance is there, as expected. Too bad there aren't SEED RGB chibis this time, but there's a gay gay gay Gayass pic. And guys from upcoming anime being sexy. Hmmm Rayne.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I don't know why I picked up another artbook ahahahaha. Picked up ZL and DGM on a whim because I couldn't find Kuro Shitsuji<\/b> BLASPHEMY, Kino.<\/small><\/center>

Well, actually I've wanted Kouga Yun's YOUR EYES ONLY artbook for some time, but since I have money to spend now and there's Kino's 20% discount for members, I thought it'll be a good time to buy it before I regret some other day. Also HAHAHA there's the infamous yaoi KiraAsuKira (who knows who's seme) fanart in the artbook! That's why I snerk at guys who go all \"Gundam 00<\/b> will be so much better than SEED because it won't have stupid yaoi fangirls.\" I think Wing is so much gayer than SEED<\/s> Obviously they do not know who 00's character designer\/Kouga Yun is, hur hur hur.

The moment the first 15-second trailer was aired and everyone got a first glimpse of the characters, half my flist were already erupting with laughter over the unexpected combination of Gundam + Loveless<\/b> and \"OMG KOUGA YUN LET'S EXPECT BL KPLZ\" lolol. Of course I've laid my eyes on Setsuna ever since that trailer, because 1. Shinn<\/s> Ritsuka clone and 2. would be!psychotic uke.

Hm, Kaji's route for Encore. It was fun. I picked the lovers route (after completing the Corda 2 route for Kaji) so it was pretty funny when he called me \"Kaho-san\" when I ended my Corda 2 game with him still using \"Hino-san\". Lol stupid shoujo game. Ah, whatever.

He picks you up to go to school in the morning or something, I didn't take any pics of that. This was at the rooftop in school.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Fufu, did you know that I like your smile?

I like yours more, Kaji! I think it's because he smiles a lot that I think I'm starting to like him more than Tsukimori... D: Ah well, too bad for the Tsundere Prince.

I don't remember what we were doing in Kira's office ahahaha. I haven't gone for him yet. (But I gave him presents while chasing after Kaji!)
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Gen Ed 2nd year, Amou Nami! Do you remember me?

I don't know if he did remember her... *played this on Deepavali, which is on 8th Nov, so yay memory loss*

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsuzuki:<\/b> Nice to meet you, Hino-san. I am Tsuzuki Asato<\/s> Mari.

Tsuzuki Asato is the main chara from Yami no Matsuei<\/b> btw. *sporked* Before this game was released, I read that she was the evil queen bitch whom you have to please or something, but when I played the game, she wasn't like that! In fact, she's very, very nice. It's those other annoying people you had to please, and Tsuzuki was very encouraging. (And she even agrees to go shop for ingredients\/presents for Valentine's Day with you and Amou if you decide to invite her.)

In my Corda 2 Kaji gameplay post, remember me saying that when there's some soft cream near your cheek\/mouth, Amou tells Kaji to wipe it off for you? XD
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ehh?!

Kaji's so shy in Encore. orz To think this is the very same boy who goes around fufufuing about how much he likes you in Corda 2!

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Buuuuut, aren't you two going out?

I wonder how she knows. Maybe she has some sort of radar.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Ne, don't tell me you two have yet to hold hands?

BLAME IT ON KAJI. He pulls away his hand when you try to hold it. =_=;;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> I see... as I thought so.

What, Amou, what?

Er, I think this was a gift event?
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ah, maple sugar~ I like these. They're really sweet. I want to get diabetes!<\/s>

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Won't you eat some too? I'll give some to you. :D

M-my gift.

I don't remember what was happening here >_>
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> It's not like that. I thought Hihara-san was of the romantic (romantist) type.

So on one day, you perform a song in a concert or something, but some of the elitist guests were, \"why the hell is a gen ed student playing\/going to be a concert mistress blah blah blah\". They're the bastards you have to please. I didn't take pics *lol stupid Nurul* but I think Kaji jumped to your defense, and then Tsuzuki or Kira ask him to play together with you.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Of course you two\/the two of us are good, so the people are like \"... ... ...\" And then some random guy popped up haha.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji's father:<\/b> ...Aoi, what are you doing here?

Remember in Japan, you call people by their family names, but among family members, of course they would use first names. So Kaji's Dad is calling Kaji by his first name. I still like the sound of \"Aoi\". Too bad the Kanji character for \"Aoi\" is not the same character for \"blue\".

So apparently Kaji's father was quite a well-known musician, because the random people called him a sensei and started sucking up to him, those bastards. Dx So we leave.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> If you want me to help you (more like, save you from others), just call for me.

But you're so uke, what can you do?<\/s> *bricked*

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Don't forget, that you're not alone.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
He sends me text messages almost every day XD;; I forgot, we went for karaoke on 17th Jan, so he sent a text message saying that it was fun.

On a date again, where you can try to hold his hand again BUT.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ah... aa, Kaho-san, uh... I'm happy but...

This makes you the one wearing the pants in the relationship lolol.

On one weekend, we (girls + dateable boys) all went out together. I think at some point, Shimizu and Hihara went to grab some panda-looking chow (well, Shimizu was all, \"Ah, panda....\") and you get the option of chasing after Shimizu + Hihara, getting lost with Yunoki + Tsuchiura (I think, I don't remember) or tag along with Kaji and Tsukimori. Of course this means FOOD FIGHT IN CHINESE RESTAURANT (not) so I went with Kaji and Tsukimori. They're my top two favourite characters, anyway. ♥
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
It does look like a food fight's about to break out. =_=;

Or course there's more stupid people about, so they talk about you behind your back until you walk nearby. Then basically they try to pick a fight with you (well, more of, \"You have a problem with that?\") but Tsukimori comes and they shut up. Actually this was a Tsukimori event, I was kind of chasing after both Tsukimori and Kaji. >_>;;

When you try to hold Kaji's hand YET again. I think.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> (something along the lines of) It's not like (he's uneasy if) people will realize, just that...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> If possible, I want to do this when it's just the two of us.

He calls it \"kawaii koto\" but I can't bear to translate it as \"I want to keep our cute things (i.e. hand-holding) just when it's the two of us\" because it's too cheesy. DX

Tsukimori event, because I always talk to him when Kaji doesn't have anything new to say to me har har. On the roof, when he's eating.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I see, that's great.

He asks me if I make my bento myself, and I said I did. Tee hee.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Amou-san, Happy Birthday!

They should be a couple, seriously.

And the shopping for Valentine's stuff in which we dragged Tsuzuki along HAHAHA.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsuzuki:<\/b> ...How about you, Hino-san? Have you decided on someone you want to give it to?

OF COURSE LULZ.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I like spring. Because it's the season I found you.

He's a scary fanboy, transferring schools just to be in the same school after \"finding you\". I think this was already after he decides not to be shy and hide the relationship. There was one time where we bump into two classmates (also a couple) and they ask if you're on sort of!date and Kaji says yes without hesitating.

Performance time~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ah, that dress...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Don't tell me you remembered the time when I told you about my favourite colour before?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Fufu, if that's the case, then I'm glad.

What are you talking about, this was the same dress I wore in Corda 2 oi. =_=

After the concert.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Tsuzuki:<\/b> Everyone, you're all here, aren't you? First of all, well done.

She proceeds to tell you that she has been believing in you etc. See, that was when I was, \"So where's this Evil Queen label everyone slapped on her?\" because she really is a nice person!

Oh btw, the concert was held on 14th Feb = my Sec 3 homeroom teacher's birthday<\/s> Valentine's Day. So I meet Kaji after the concert.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> You wanted to talk to me, what is it.

Any guy would've known since it's 14th Feb... ~_~

Obvious question!
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
The text box is asking if you would like to give chocolates + present to him or not. I spent some five hours on this game, of course I WOULD GIVE.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ehh, you're giving this to me? Is it okay if I open it?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I'm so happy, I couldn't say anything.

I kind of laughed when he said that.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> You must've been busy before the concert... wasn't it tough for you?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I said \"It's okay\" (first option). I didn't dare to pick the second one (\"It was tough.\").

Because he's a sweet guy, he says that he'll definitely get you a present for White Day. .In Japan, Valentine's Day is mostly for guys, White Day's for girls. Over here, Valentine's Day is mostly for guys to waste their money on girls. Poor guys.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> That's why I want to know more about you. What you like, what you wish for...

The game skips one month later to 14th March, which is of course, White Day. You have a concert performance on that day, so Kaji sends you flowers, before your performance.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Will you meet me at the lobby? --- Kaji.

And then you run off, leaving Amou behind in the dressing room. XD

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I wanted to give you something, no matter what.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> It's a White Day present, so will you accept it?

Of course I know it's a White Day present. *girlfriend who expects too much lol* It's a pinky ring, btw.

He talks about how he saw it in a store and...
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I thought it would look good on you, and before I knew it, I had bought it...

IMPULSIVE BUYER JUST LIKE ME orz

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> The truth is, there's actually an earring with the same design as the charm on this ring.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I thought of getting it for you as a present too, but...

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I guess it's better for me. XDb

He wears an earring on his left ear, remember? So in a way, we'll be wearing accessories with the same design. I think it's cheesily cute. ^^;

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ah, I'm sorry. It's almost time for you, isn't it?

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Go on. I'll be looking forward to your performance.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
This is from the ending, before the cast credit roll appears.

After the credit roll~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Nee, Kaho-san. There's a shop selling soft cream over there. Shall we go get some?

Ahaha, it's the whole \"you have some soft cream near your mouth\" thing again.
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> It's around the upper right side of your mouth. It's just a little spot.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Hold on, I'll get it off for you.

He's no longer shy about it~

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> There, got it off. :)

ARGH CLOSEUP ARGH

MOAR CLOSE UP
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Well, this is a different kind of close up, so I don't mind 8D

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I said I loved you.

He's back to the old, I'm not shy!Kaji! \\o\/

Unlocked CG folder~
\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
I was looking around at the CG folder and was, \"Hey, when did I unlock this?\" but apparently it was in the opening (in which I skipped). Stupid Nurul.

\"Photobucket\"<\/a>
Two more CGs to unlock. orz I unlocked all of Kaji's CGs from Corda 2 as mentioned before (they're the first two from the first row and all of the ones from the last two rows), but I have two more from Encore left. It's the ones where Kaji's looking all seme and pulling you from something, which I assume is a variation of the scene where people are being nasty to you somewhere at the beginning of the game, and the one in the classroom, which I used for my Mermaid icon. *points to icon for this post*

I still haven't edited the piccies from the Tsukimori Corda 2 gameplay. Unresized photos are 480MB in total, wtf, Renn. That's the name of my camera, because I'm silly. It's 25% named after Tsukimori Ren, and 75% after Kiriyama Ren, Tenimyu's Marui Bunta from Rikkaidai. The latter is the one who spells his name as Renn. I have also completed Tsukimori's route but... *sobs* It's even sadder than his Corda 2 ending!<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>
The more space I have, the messier I tend to be. >_><\/small><\/center>

Anyway, the old TV's back on my desk, so everything gets piled up on the scanner now ahaha.

I still haven't done the Tsuchiura Part 2 post for Corda (1) PSP game because I have no interest in him fufufu<\/small> but since I'm still in a Kaji-rabu mode, I might as well do a Kaji one for the Corda 2 PS2 game.

The first time I played Kiniro no Corda 2<\/b> was... I dunno, sometime in the first week of getting my PS2 Slim? I've decided to chase for Kaji because 1. he's the new kid = bully!<\/s> new things, 2. Miyano Mamoru's voice, 3. he's a nice guy (and he's a bit of a smooth-talker), 4. HE'S YOUR NO. 1 FAN, 5. Lotus<\/s> Tsukimori refused to join my ensemble. :(

Okay, part of the reason was also because I wanted to use Kaji as a guinea pig for trying out the game. I got a B for the first performance because duh, I'm a newbie and sort of gave up while in the middle of the second performance. But then due to the being depressed thing on Wednesday, I got bored playing Persona 3<\/b> so I decided to continue with Corda 2.

As mentioned way earlier, Kaji appears out of nowhere while you were talking to Amou, goes, \"Fufu good morning.\" before disappearing one second later and then<\/i> appearing as a transfer student in your class. Joy! I don't remember how the picking people for the ensemble goes, but I got Yunoki, Fuyuumi and Kaji in my ensemble at the start of the game. (When I'm playing for Tsukimori, I picked another opening and was able to get him [thanks to Shimizu] in my ensemble.)

Anyway, lalala B-grade performance, moving on to the next one.

Some of us were poking our nose around in the principal's office.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Who's that? Someone I've never seen before...

(The old TV I'm using is uh, really old. Not flat-screen, not LCD, so you can see that the game graphics look horrible.) Kira-sama! He's dateable only in Encore, though. Doesn't matter, AS LONG AS HE'S DATEABLE! \\o\/ Oh, my sis was behind me and we laughed at a guy sleeping...

Ooh, one new feature about Corda 2 is that you have a cellphone, so sometimes you will get a text message from one of the guys. Well, mostly from the one you are chasing after. And you can use the cellphone to set your going-to-school time to 7am, 7.30am or 8am. Kaji is a lazy git, so you'll get to see him mostly if you set it 8am. I set it to 7am, so I bump into Hihara a lot before going to school.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Are you still awake? I'm going to sleep soon, though.

Lol, he still needs to tell me this. ILU DORK. He likes sending text messages with \"Are you still awake?\" I wonder if the other guys do that too. <--- hasn't gone for the others

The good thing about the game this time around is that they tell you when there's going to be an event with a guy. In the map page, the circular thing with the guys' heads will flash if there's an event. So I go to the court because there's a Kaji event and appparently it's PE! Swell. When I saw that CG of Kaji playing volleyball (I think) I knew a certain scene is going to happen.

Of course somehow you injure yourself so...

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Are you okay, Hino-san?! 8O;;

I bet it was on purpose. Lol predictable plot. He brings you to the nurse and somehow all of them<\/i> turn up. News of me injuring myself sure flies around.

It's already reaching winter, so it's cold and you get to see the guys with their coats! I wonder why Seisou Gakuen doesn't have separate uniforms for winter and summer.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Yaa, Hino-san. Are you going back now too? If it's okay, will you go back with me?

OF COURSE I WILL.

And on another day, it was Tsukimori, for some reason. Yes, the Tsukimori fangirl in me nagged at me to go after Tsukimori too, so when I'm not poking Kaji, I'll go off to talk with Tsukimori. He's mighty impressed with my skill anyway, so he was already in my ensemble at this point.

Anyway we walk back~
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I never thought I could still blow this now.

It's a leaf whistle thing. It makes a weird, kinda-screechy sound when he blows on it, though. ^^;

My favourite going home scene was one with Yunoki, Shimizu and Tsukimori. (WTF why do all three guys want to go back home with me?) I wrote the conversation down on a piece of paper! It was like this:

Shimizu:<\/b> Ah, Hino-senpai.
Tsukimori:<\/b> Are you going back home right now?
Yunoki:<\/b> Aa, Hino-san. Are you going home now?
Yunoki:<\/b> I'm going back too, so if you're fine with it, you can ride in my car. So how about it?
Shimizu:<\/b> If it's a car, then four people can fit in it. (LOL Shimizu. Taking advantage of Yunoki.)
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...No. If it's Yunoki-senpai, maybe we are...
Shimizu:<\/b> Haa...
Yunoki:<\/b> ... ... ...
Fuyuumi:<\/b> *out of nowhere* Ah, senpai, are you going back now?
Shimizu:<\/b> Five people... Five people can't fit in, right?
Fuyuumi:<\/b> I'm sorry. It seems like I'm a nuisance...

In the end, all five of us got into the car anyway and rode till the train station. And then we make wishes (with the exception of Tsukimori, of course) and threw coins into the fountain.

In another scene, Tsukimori was giving English lessons AHAHAHAHAHA. Er, something like, \"The surface of the desert\". So Fuyuumi was commenting if \"desert\" is the same as \"dessert\" and Tsukimori said no. Poor Fuyuumi.

I screwed up the first two perfomances (Grade B for 1st one, Grade C [HORROR] for the 2nd one) but I finally figured out the rules\/themes of the performances so I got an S (one level higher than A) for the 3rd performance. And it was the performance where there's a waltz at the end fufufu.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Then, will you accept this corsage?

And then I forgot what's the second line. \"Sasuga ni chotto something-suru na\" Yay lack of Kanji knowledge. But anyway, it's Kaji's I CAN LOOK SEME TOO face.

I don't remember what happened here (awesome memory apparently, seeing that I played this two days ago) but I think it was one of those \"stop-by-somewhere-after-school\" not!dates.
\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> The first time I met you was at this park.

I think the story was you were playing your violin in the park or something, and that was how he noticed you. Oh, this was after I have given him a muffler (cashmere one at that, so classy) as a present, so he's wearing it instead of the school one, which is red (like their ties, the colour of the scarves they wear corresponds with their grade year) and has the school crest on it.

One day, it is Hihara's birthday. So we have a party after school!
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah~ That pasta! Over here, over here!

Of course Lotus<\/s> Queen Bitch<\/s> Tsukimori talks about them ordering too much food. (But that much for nine people? I think it's too little.)

On another day, there was an event with Shimizu. So he asks if I like cute things, and when I said I did, he leads me and Hihara to somewhere and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Uwah, they're kittens! So the \"cute things\" were these?

OMG KITTIES SQUEEEEEEE. X3 And then we go back to the music classroom.

Time for the last concert.
\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Ne, will you meet me by the large tree after the concert?

I smell impending confession scene 8DDDD

Anyway, at the start of the concert, we get the audience cheering for the music students. >_>; Until some guy spoke up and said that \"Tsuchiura, Kaji and Hino are all Gen Education students but are great too\" etc.

\"Photo<\/a>
Somebody #1 & Somebody #2:<\/b> Tsukimori-kuuuuuuuuun! Do your best!

LOLOLOL Tsukimori fans. I shouldn't laugh, I'm one of them<\/s> I bet he's like, \"Whatever.\" backstage.

And the final grade is~
\"Photo<\/a>
SS! I thought the highest ranking is SS, but apparently it is SSS. orz

\"Photo<\/a>
Kira:<\/b> They aren't bad.

Well, there are many ways to translate \"yaru janai ka\" but I think \"They aren't bad\" would sound better than \"they did it\" from Kira. And so, the school was saved. \\o\/ Kira sends a letter to Kanayan about the school. (I don't remember what Kira is to the school, but he was a chairman or something?)

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> That's means it's our win, right?

PARTYYYYYY. Oh, I forgot to mention that Ousaki came back from Europe. And uh, how do you tackle this guy when he's in Europe? O_o? I dunno, when I play for Kaji, Ousaki is currently in Europe, but when I'm playing for Tsukimori (now) he's actually in Japan. Or maybe it's because I selected different openings?

Kira flees from his seat after the concert is over. See the empty seat?
\"Photo<\/a>
Somebody #1:<\/b> Ne, is the performance over? I want to hear MOAR.

\"Photo<\/a>
Somebody #2:<\/b> That's right, I want to hear more too! ... Encore!

And then the audience all started going \"ENCORE ENCORE!\" Uh, do audience scream in classical music concerts? I can understand for pop concerts (and Tenimyu XD) but classical...?

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Fufu, look, everyone is waiting for your performance.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Saa, shall we go?

\"Photo<\/a>
EVERYBODY (well, those who play instruments) JOIN IN! Now I wonder, do people bring their instruments to concerts too? XD Lol game. Either way, this was the part which lifted my spirits up because eeee I'm a sucker for unity.

\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>
That hand belongs to you\/me\/Hino\/Shujinkou (main character). Mmmmmm Kaji + Tsukimori SO HOT.

Let's give Lili a chance to talk.
\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> Look closely, Hino Kahoko! This is the power of your (mine + the cast) performance!

Okay, whatever. Let's go meet Kaji!
\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Merry Christmas! That was a great concert, wasn't it?

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Thanks to this concert, I was able to do many things I like.

Including liking me hahaha. Stop trying to take over Tsukimori as my favourite Corda character, Kaji. D: He talks about making new friends (transfer student too, remember?) and his viola and~

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Besides that, I (was starting to) like you more and more.

Squeeeeeee.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I've liked you the first time I met you.

At least he doesn't beat around the bush. *cough Corda 1 Tsukimori cough*

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> And then, what about you? Is it okay for me to believe that you like me too?

He's so very direct. O_o; Kinda like Furuba's Kyou. Anyway I said \"yes\". I saved the game before the concert scene, so maybe I should open the file again and pick \"no\" for the kick of it. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> Thank you, those were the words I wanted to hear.

ARGH CLOSEUP ARGH. I'm sorry, closeups scare me, ever since I played the Harukanaru Toki no Nada de 2<\/b> PSP game... whenever Isato's face zooms in, I will be like AAAAAAAAH SCARY T_T; Weird phobia I have there.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> The person I've always been looking for ever since I was born is right here.

And then we get TIP-TOP SHAPE<\/i><\/a>. =_= I mean, yes, the song fits Kaji from what I could understand, and it's sung by Kaji himself but I'm not fond of the song. His other song, Mermaid<\/i>, is way prettier.

\"Photo<\/a>
Kaji:<\/b> I want to know more about you and your music. I really like you.

Okay! Oh, I was lucky and managed to unlock ALL HIS CGs in just one gameplay. Though that makes me lazy to play for him again. The fight scene with Yunoki is actually part of Yunoki's CGs, not Kaji's. Other CGs:

\"Photo<\/a>
The day he transfers into your class. I love his first name, \"Aoi\". It's the first time I've heard of a guy with that name.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hanging out on the roof mmmmm.

\"Photo<\/a>
PE class! This happened before the sprain ankle scene. Lol. Damn, I love their PE\/gym uniform. Okay, I like collared uniforms, especially if they're for sports.

\"Photo<\/a>
This was when you fall into the pond with him. XD Why does the new guy get all the fanservice?

\"Photo<\/a>
Aaaand in class. I don't remember much, something about him forgetting his book and then borrowing yours? And then the teacher calling you up and him helping you after that. I love the cyan colour of his eyes. The rest of the guys mostly have golden-coloured eyes. Booooooring.

Encore ramblings next time. Before the game was released, people in forums were saying that there would be a fight scene with the guys. 8D Kaji's... well it wasn't really a fight scene. It's just that he wants to take the relationship with you really slowly. I LOVE THESE KIND OF GUYS. ♥_♥ Or maybe because I don't believe in love at first sight (it's more of a crush?) so that's why I always translate \"suki\" as \"like\" and not \"love\".

If you play the Encore game he does acknowledge that he likes you, but because he doesn't rush the relationship, it shows that he actually respects your feelings in a way. I mean, would you seriously want a hormonally-charged boyfriend? O_o So if you play his route in Encore, I guess the game turns you into a girl who sort of expects more in the relationship. (No, not sex. Lol.)

When you go out with him, sometimes the game gives you an option to hold his hand, in which if you decided to take up that option, he will start getting all nervous and he stammers when he talks. Pretty funny, since he wears earrings, one would except him to be a \"wild type\" but he uses \"boku\" instead of \"ore\" and turns out to be polite. And shy in Encore.<\/small> In one scene where you're eating soft cream (some sort of ice cream?) in the school cafeteria, there's some near your mouth and Amou tells him to wipe it off for you, but instead he'll go, \"EH?!\" XD;; It was cute. (And then Amou will be like, \"But aren't you two going out together?\" AMOU KNOWS. ILU AMOU.) You also have a pair of classmates going out together, so when Kaji talks to them, he'll refer to you as \"Hino-san\" instead of \"Kaho-san\".

Of course soon he'll get enlightened lolol and says some things about liking you and finally he calls you \"Kaho-san\" in front of your lovey-dovey classmates. There's one scene where you go out with Kaji after school for a while and bump into your classmates, where he asks if they're kind of on a date. THEN they ask him, \"Aren't you two doing the same?\" and he says \"yes\" without hesitating. Awwwww.

Aaaaaaaaaaand of course he finally uses \"aishiteru\" on you at the end of the game instead of the usual \"kimi ga suki\" etc etc. *brain exploded from the glee* I don't know if the fight scene with the other guys are the same, though. I'm still playing through Tsukimori's route in Corda 2 now, so I'll go for his lovers route in Encore after that. Come and play Corda 2 with me, <\/a>summer88<\/b><\/a><\/span>. ;_;<\/a>

As for Persona 3<\/b>, like my sister, I really wanted to date Yukari. But then Aigis appeared and she's easily my favourite female character. (Sorry, Lacus<\/s> Mitsuru!) I wish Aigis was dateable\/has a commu social link, but I'll have to wait for Fes.

This is taken from the old TV in the balcony (not the one in my room) before it was replaced by the plasma one:
\"Photo<\/a>
Operation Babe Hunt ftw! It was fabulous when Akihiko and Junpei got turned down by Aigis. I know people all like Junpei, but I like Akihiko because he agreed to join the Operation Babe Hunt (reason: he couldn't stand to lose WHY SO DORKY) and Shujinkou\/main character for... just tagging along without knowing what the hell he was doing. ♥

And from the new Plasma TV:
\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>

Aigis in uniform! I'm such an Aigis fangirl. Hmmm want that Aigis figure by Alter<\/a>. ;_;

So I tend to like Shujinkou x Aigis ahahaha. I like Aigis' uniform best, followed by Fuuka. 1. I like coats and 2. I like black. *_*

Another reason why I love Aigis is because she's a robot, there are some things she doesn't understand. Example:
\"Photo<\/a>
I named Shujinkou after the manga's Shujinkou: Arisato Minato. Hee hee.

\"Photo<\/a>


The options.
\"Photo<\/a>
I picked the first one.

\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>
PS Ken is so cute. shouta<\/s> His voice is not. Like everyone else I think it sounds so... smoker.

Second option:
\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>

Third option:
\"Photo<\/a>
orz

\"Photo<\/a>
This is Kenji, your fellow classmate who has the hots for one of your teachers. I forgot her name. Haha. This game is so illegal<\/s>

Remember me saying something about maybe being over-leveled? :D;;
\"Photo<\/a>
At this point in the game, the highest floor you can go up to is the 114th Floor. As you go up, the Shadows\/monsters are more powerful. So to have them scared of me (see the sweatdrop thing?) when I'm almost at the top... I must really have over-leveled. I can't help it if I'm the super-careful type who'd train like crazy...

Aigis goes to school.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tartarus is the place you train up during the \"Dark Hour\". During normal hours, it's your school.

So your teacher (I KNEW IT, SHE WAS MAYA, THE SOCIAL LINK PERSON WHO USES NETSPEAK) introduces Aigis to the class.
\"Photo<\/a>
Long story on why Aigis is so dead-bent on protecting you. Please play the game to find out why. Or there's always Wikipedia. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Of course my sis is all LOL SHE'S JEALOUS but I don't really care.

\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>

This is Shinjiro AKA Shinji, whom a lot of people (well, Japanese fans, maybe? He's in the 4-koma anthologies a lot) like but I don't give a hoot about.
\"Photo<\/a>
He's very gangstah-like, but is actually a nice guy.

And then I put the PS2 into my room with a crappy old TV. Suddenly I appreciate the plasma TV even though I don't like widescreen. This is after Junpei met Chidori.

\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>

\"Photo<\/a>
I LOVE YOU, AIGIS.

As for the dateable girls~ (You have to form friendships with all of them if you want to become more powerful lolol. And the closer you are to them, the better. That why I said that this game really teaches you that two-timing will bring you benefits.)

\"Photo<\/a>
I've just started with Fuuka, so her Priestess Social Link is only at level one. I love their description of her. :Db

\"Photo<\/a>
Since Chihiro is one of the two girls you can chase after at the start, I went for her first. So I'm trying to max out her social link before completing Yukari's. I do wonder what will happen if you go for all of them at once....

\"Photo<\/a>
I need a Rank 4 before I can get that social link with the monk, uuuu. But at Rank 4, I think it was nearing intimate. >_>

\"Photo<\/a>
Rank 3 with Yukari. Not intimate yet. There's one more, Mitsuru, but your Academics need to be at max, and I'm not there yet.

As for my favourite social link people...
\"Photo<\/a>
MAYA MAYA MAYA. Who happens to be your homeroom teacher, Ms Toriumi. XD I love her netspeak, whoever who translated her part of the game did a very good job with the netspeak. Anyway I knew she was my\/Shujinkou's teacher because there were many clues along the way. She started saying how she likes a student, she wants to comfort because his parents are dead (yes you're an orphan in the game) etc and then<\/i> she mentioned your name. My sis and I were HAHAHAHAHA and I played that part. Watch this<\/a>. (Awesome netspeak, no?)

\"Photo<\/a>
BEBE SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU. Er, his original French name was really long, so he said to just call him Bebe. (In which my sis and I butchered to Baybeh) He's a big fan of Japan, so in the English version, he uses Japanese here and there. e.g. something like \"This is so subarashii, so wonderful!\" Or \"______ my tomodachi, my friend!\"

More Aigis love. I'm currently in September in the game (it follows a calendar) just after the typhoon event. This is where you got caught in the rain and fell sick\/sleep for three days, so when you wake up, everybody asks if you're okay. (There's a 4-koma which Yukari uses her Garula on you to dry you up but you just get sicker XD) As for Aigis:

I dunno, I just love her phrasing. ♥

Hm, that's all. I<\/a>

And I've finally listened to the 07-Ghost<\/b> drama CD. Hahaha Hakuren using his Lelouch voice. I wish the bishops wouldn't call Labrador \"Lab\" because my mind translated \"Lab\" as \"Rabu\" = LOVE. *dirty old woman*

I've also finally listened to the rest of PureBOYS' songs other than Kanpai Je'Taime even though I have the CD since sometime last month... I wanted something new to listen to so I popped the CD in while editing Kaji pictures. The second song reminds me of some Ultraman song. >_> I still haven't seen the free DVD that came with it though. The Kanpai Je'Taime one already made me (and everyone else) go WTF IS THAT, so I'm kinda scared of watching it.<\/s> Also:

Sis:<\/b> *sees the CD case* What's so good about PureBOYS? They don't look pure.
Me:<\/b> orz

But seriously, who came up with the group name anyway?","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/251241.html?view=comments#comments","category":["family","corda - kaji","games: kiniro no corda","dating game lol","games: persona 3\/portable","animanga: 07-ghost"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/249544.html","pubDate":"Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:11:41 GMT","title":"HnK 2 PS2 game - Random button-mashing, er, tryout.","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/249544.html","description":"Suddenly people started putting banners up at <\/a>seed_icontest<\/b><\/a><\/span> and now I'm OH CRAP NEED TO DO MINE TOO. I took medical leave on Monday since the headache from Saturday didn't disappear, but instead of doing banners, I ended up colouring manga for the whole day. I want to do another icon post soon and start on my Haruka 3 claim, but first I'll need to do banners and request icons I owe people, or else I'll never get those done.

I haven't used this tag for so long. I should also do the Tsuchiura gameplay post Part 2 soon... but yay otome game again.

I met up with <\/a>eien_no_kaze<\/b><\/a><\/span> at Clementi MRT station because I was buying the Haruka 3 Visual Book from her and she passed me all three Hiiro no Kakera<\/b> games, which I've been wanting to play since forever. *_* (If you happen to be reading this, thank you ♥) I still plan to buy the 2nd game one day, but I'm too broke this month, tee hee. Because my bill for video games for Sep turned out to be $393 and I was buying a PS2 for $300 so I couldn't hand over $500 to parents last month and had to hand them $1,000 this month<\/s> I'll buy it next month! Hopefully the limited edition one will still be available at Play-Asia. Speaking of P-A, they have yet to ship my Corda Visual Book, hmmmmm.

The start was typical of shoujo stories. You get into trouble (yeah, following the \"shit happens\" plot), guy comes to save ya or something (AKIRAAAAAA *DROOLS*) etc etc.
\"Photo<\/a>
Akira:<\/b> What are you going to do if I wasn't there? :\/
Me:<\/b> BULL, THAT WILL NEVARR HAPPEN :D<\/small><\/center>

And another scene:
\"Photo<\/a>
Narration:<\/b> I wonder if those two came because they're worried?
I wish I could have hot bodyguards. XD But Riku's constant nee-san<\/i>-ing here and there gets on my nerves after a while. It doesn't help that he has Tsuchiura's (Itou Kentarou) voice.<\/small><\/center>

Normally I'll call characters by their family names, but since the box there states the characters' first names, I guess for this game, I'll call characters by their first names. For some reason Ryouji's bar was higher than the rest. Eh. Also, I would go lesbian for Erika.<\/s> Aaaaaanyway I got a game over. It was... amusing. In a kind of deadpan way.

Mao:<\/b> (Suzu's\/the protagonist's\/your Ebil Sister) *says things I don't remember*
*hears stabbing-like sound*
Me:<\/b> Wait, did I actually get stabbed?
TV screen:<\/b> TURNING FROM BLACK TO ALL RED LULZ
Me:<\/b> Okay, I did get stabbed. Damn, that is some bright red blood.<\/small>
Ryouji:<\/b> Mao, I love you.
TV Screen:<\/b> GAME OVER HAR HAR :DDDDD
Me<\/b>: ... ... ...

3 hours playing and it's a game over. Swell. XD I actually skipped through most of the conversations with the guys except for Akira's lines. He was a tad bastard-ish at the start (why do I go for these type of guys?) but was pretty nice too. Katsuhiko was more bitchy ahahaha. My sis dislikes Yasunori because she thinks he's a nerd (she was NOOOOOOO at the scene where he falls on you\/Suzu) but I think he is<\/i> kind of cute. And uke. You know I like ukes. PS I've already classified Akira in the uke category, hur hur hur.

I would like to say that the game is easier to play than Corda because it's more of a visual novel. Think game books, the kind with \"turn to page ____ for Option A, page ____ for Option B\" yeah. And it's fully-voiced except for Suzu's lines and narrative parts. But with a Game Over three hours into the game, it doesn't sound exactly easy to others...","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/249544.html?view=comments#comments","category":["dating game lol","look ma no cut!","hiiro no kakera 2"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/234662.html","pubDate":"Sun, 17 Jun 2007 10:37:40 GMT","title":"[PSP] Kiniro no Corda - Tsuchiura Ryoutarou (First Play, Part 1)","author":"aestalitz","link":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/234662.html","description":"Shounen Onmyouji<\/b> musical up next. Wooooooo. Tenimyu will always remain my musical love, but Burimyu and AirMyu were excellent too. Here's hoping SOmyu will be just as dorky.

I also opened up my cupboard and saw loooooots of old manga which I bought a long time ago (e.g. YnM, D.N.Angel, Saiyuuki Reload, HaruToki artbook + KKJ and TSK manga from 2002-2003 <--- was a Takahashi Naozumi stalker back then XD;;) and feel like making icons out of them, but uh, I'm lazy at colouring manga. It's only the shading which I like, because I can use my tablet...<\/small>

Tsuchiura post part 1. I don't know why I went overboard with the pics; I probably took over a hundred. (There's already 75 here 8D) I know they're all conversation posts, but I like making fun of some of their lines... XD Anyway this is for the Tsuchiura fans on my flist~ There's no one on my flist whose favourite chara is Tsukimori. It's either Yunoki or Tsuchiura wooooe.

So yes, image-heavy and over half this post is about character introductions, since I don't think I've done any for most of the characters.

The first guy you meet in the game is Kanayan because he's the teacher in charge of the concours, so yeah, you already know his name. I happened to walk at the side of the music room and got that Yunoki fan ranting at me. (See Yunoki gameplay post part 1) After that, I decided to bump into Hihara. And uh yeah, I reeeeeally bumped into him.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> Uwa, s-sorry! I didn't see you just now. Uhhhh... are you alright?

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> Ah... I'm sorry, really. Well, I'm going.

AND WE CRASH INTO EACH OTHER AGAIN MWAHA.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Eh? :<

Since I'm blocking his way and vice versa...
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> Well, I'll take the left, and you take the right.

Of course since my right = his left, we crash into each other again. XD
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> Eh? Why are we crashing into each other again?

Why, I wonder. Lol game. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> Ah, that thing you're carrying... that's a violin case, right? Are you okay?

I assume a violin case isn't that heavy. D:
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I'm Hihara Kazuki, a third year from the Music Department.

Let's all call him Original Fire now. >:3

More chitchat.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> ------ EH? You're participating in the concours too?

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> So I see... That's right, there's someone from the Gen Ed Department who's participating... so that's you?!

His \"Are ga kimi kaa\" was very loud. O_o If this was animated, think of him as shouting that line right into your face.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Let's make this a good concours, Hino-chan! XDb

Because I'm chasing after Tsuchiura this round, of course I need to find him as soon as possible and talk to him so I'll get to know his name = faster for seducing<\/s> chasing!
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #2:<\/b> Oi, what are you doing, just standing there (daydreaming)? Hey.

I wonder what he's talking about; it was the other way round! I was the one who came to talk to him.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> I'm a second-year from the Gen Ed Department, Tsuchiura Ryoutarou.

He talks about my violin and music...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Aa? Are you really going to participate? I thought it was only a joke...

Yeah, Lili's a joke. >_>

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Ma, do your best. Since you were chosen to participate, you must be able to play that thing.

I open my big mouth. Actually no, the game opens your big mouth for you.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> You're a complete beginner? For serious? Then why were you chosen?

You're about to find out, fufufu.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> ...That sucks. (Direct translation: A COMPLETE DISASTER XD) Are you fine alone?

In one of my earliest posts (probably the first Tsukimori one) I mentioned about if you talk to him a lot, Lili will appear in front of him and he'll be able to see it. According to the game, all those who could see the fairies have some sort of musical talent, so that's why the guys can see them too. Even Ousaki knows about them. Kanazawa can't see them, because he could only sing and not play an instrument. *bricked* Anyway, that time I was pretending to be gung-ho and all fired up about the concours, so I picked the last option, \"Leave it to me!\" There's a faster way to drag Tsuchiura into the concours, and that's by picking the first one, \"I want you to help me\" >:D

Being the nice boy he is, he obliged.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> That's fine. I'll help you for a bit. Let's go to a practice room.

So he plays the piano...
\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> YOU! That piano-playing just now... it's good, it's good! >:D

Tsuchiura, you're in deep shit. 8D;;

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Uwa! W-what?! What's this?! A fairy? For real?

For realz, srsly.
\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> Your piano-playing is excellent! (Kanji says \"qualification\" actually) You are SO going to participate in the concours!

Poor, poor Tsuchiura.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Concours? Me?

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Don't be ridiculous! Don't decide things on your own. I am NOT going out (to participate). >:(

Lili then says that he's scary. XD;;

\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> Besides, it's going to be useless if you try to resist. Tomorrow you'll become a participant.

Lili then disappears. Cheh.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Oi, don't say selfish things!

This is<\/i> Lili, what can you do. :D

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Damn, what is that, suddenly deciding thing on his (I'm using \"he\" instead of \"it\" for Lili :P) own...

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> What is he, a fairy... Fata? Even if I saw him with my own eyes, I can't believe it.

So Tsuchiura, is it safe to assume that you don't believe in ghosts? Now we know why he's all-so-calm in that amusement park\/double date thingy chapter. I still think that Tsukimori freaking out at roller coasters\/fast rides was the best thing evarrrr<\/s>

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> I see, because of that chibi, you're in the concours.

WELCUM 2 MAI LYFE, TSUCHIURA.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Since I'm going out (i.e. participating), I don't want to lose. Isn't it the same for you?

Actually \"omae wa chigau no ka\" = \"is it different for you?\" but \"isn't it the same for you makes more sense 8D

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Ma, you're a Gen Ed student too and a beginner, right? I won't be too hard on you, so don't worry.

Ok you are so nice.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Ma, since this has happened, it can't be helped. Let's both do our best. See you then.

He accepts the whole \"I'm in the concours now\" so easily. :o

Second day now.
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #3:<\/b> Is that your violin? Why does a Gen Ed student like you have a violin...

Music Department elitist. D: Meet the resident Queen Bitch, Super Dork Who Fails at Everything From Cooking to TEH INTARWEBS, Tsundere Prince, and the latest favourite nickname for him (at least, for me and <\/a>minrathous<\/b><\/a>\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #3:<\/b> I see, so the Gen Ed participant is you.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #3:<\/b> The ones in the concours with violins are you and I.

VIOLIN ROMANCE OK<\/s> But since I'm chasing after Tsuchiura, the Violin Romance is not Tsukimori x me, but probably Tsukimori x his violin. XD Or maybe we could get Hihara to introduce his kouhai to his senpai, so we can have Ousaki x Tsukimori. *shot* Anyway, he reveals his name after that, but it's already in Yunoki Gameplay Post Part 1.

Poking another guy I rarely pay attention to... 8D;;
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #4:<\/b> Good afternoon.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #4:<\/b> Could you be the senpai in the concours?

Uh, Shimizu-kun, seeing that you're a first year, aren't all the participants (minus Fuyuumi) all your senpai-tachi?
\"Photo<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> I am a first year from the Music Department, Shimizu Keiichi. Senpai, you are... let's see....

I don't know what he said after that. *no photos*

\"Photo<\/a>
Shimizu:<\/b> I'm looking forward to your music. See you.

One day, I see Tsuchiura talking to himself. He was frustrated about something.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Whoops, did you hear that? It's nothing; I was just thinking about things.

Check out the sweatdrop thingy in the speech bubble. XD

Mori Manami, your accompanist. :D
\"Photo<\/a>
Mori:<\/b> Do you know? About the Violin Romance story?

Why yes. Both the music and gen ed students just wouldn't stop talking about it. >_>; (Some music students are hostile and even accuse you of participating because of the Violin Romance XD;;)

I ignored Fuyuumi totally, so here's the obligatory interview thing in which Amou will introduce you to the participants whom you haven't met. :o Plus, I don't think I've taken shots of the girls' convos...
\"Photo<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> Ah, Hino-san! Are you going back now? Will you let me do an interview?

It's not like you get to pick; she'll keep on talking like a train anyway.
\"Photo<\/a>
Amou:<\/b> So you don't know about this girl, huh. She's a first-year from the Music Department, Fuyuumi Shouko-chan.

Amou's blinking, so that's why her eyes look all weird.

\"Photo<\/a>
Fuyuumi:<\/b> Uhm... nice to meet you. I specialize in the clarinet.

1st Selection time, smashed my way through the first place. |D;; I played Melody<\/i> (usually I'll play Ave Maria<\/i>, remember?) because Tsuchiura is an emo boy<\/s> loves sad songs. Anyway, he decided to talk to me.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Yo, Hino. That's right, good timing.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> you're going back too, right? Let's go back (halfway) together.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> So anyway, well done. Eat a lot today (wtf I'm sure that's what he said) and rest.

In the music room!
\"Photo<\/a>
From what I have noticed after playing Ousaki's route (after Tsuchiura's), if you're good in a song and you play it in the presence of music students, they are more willing to perform together with you next time.

Crashing into Tsuchiura early in the morning. >_>;
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Uwa, I'm so sorry.

Tsuchiura likes to go \"Yo!\" \"Warui\" \"Uwa\" and \"Ma\" a lot. ._.

One day, I was at the roof and he disturbed me.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> You don't seem well today. Did something happen?

It's the scene where Moon Forest Lotus<\/s> Tsukimori comes in and says that because you're a gen ed student, the concours is too much on you or something (indirectly saying that the concours aren't really for Gen Ed students yada yada) which pisses Tsuchiura off.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> What did you say...?

I'm fairly amused that Tsuchiura's all >:( while Tsukimori is :> hehe.

Not sure if this is the same day or another day on the roof.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Yo, Hino. Genki? If so, then that's good.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Because you don't seem well lately.

Speaking of \"well\" I wonder if Hino PMSes? :o

Poking him again~
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Yo, Hino. That's right, do you want to go back together today?

Anyway I accept, of course. He then says that he'll wait near the gates. And the time immediately shifted to 6pm. XD;;
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Sorry, sorry. I'm a little late, huh. Did you wait long?

I, I hate people who are late. 8D;; I'm not Punctuality Queen for nothing. I've never been late for school unless you count me not setting my alarm or being too tired (especially during the crazy projects weeks) that I slept through the alarm. I remember there was a day where I only have lessons from 8am to 1pm and I woke up around 10am. Since the train trip to school takes an hour and I haven't showered nor ironed clothes for school, I wouldn't make it for my 11am-1pm class anyway and decided to ditch school altogether. 8D;; Don't follow my example.<\/small>

On another day, there's the \"Tsuchiura is here. Go home with him?\" option, so I said yes and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Ou! Well, let's go back.

Bumping into him on another morning again...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Let's go to school together. :>

Aaaaaaaaand on one day as I was about to leave school, he decides to catch up to me. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Are you going back now too? In that case, how about going back together?

Him playing in the middle of nowhere, fufufu.
\"Photo<\/a>
He gets a grand piano while music students only get an upright one. Pfft.

\"Photo<\/a>
Clapping after his performance. XD

One day, he sends me right to the doorstep...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> If it's okay with you, can we go back together again? If possible, every day.

I accepted, so.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> SANKYU. (Thank you)

Ugh, that's his Hihara :D face. At least it's less scary than Tsukimori's. And if you were to compare them, I think Tsukimori is more of :D while Tsuchiura's is like >XD I mean, Tsuchiura's does look kinda more cheeky.

And his slightly-embarrassed face:
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> See you then.

Bumping into him on the way to school again. He says that he sees me all the time at the same time so he thought that we could go to school together. XD
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> No, nothing. Just talking to myself.

TIME TO POKE OUSAKI. Omg, I played through his route after Tsuchiura's and... ILU OUSAKI. If the guys are all real, I'd jump on him in a jiffy. Yes, Lotus - I mean, Tsukimori is my fave, but Ousaki's also a violinist and so much nicer. He's probably as nice as Hihara minus the million bags of (saturated?) sugar or something.
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> Good afternoon. ...Eh....?

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> You're a student of this school, right?

Apparently he couldn't tell from my uniform XD And wasn't he a former student too?<\/s>

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> I'm sorry, uhm... I can't quite recall your name...

I think there was an option or something. *doesn't remember, because she played this two, three weeks ago?* I probably picked something like a greeting.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> ...Ah. \"Nice to meet you\" is fine? That's good.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> Hino-san... alright, I'll remember it. Next time it won't be \"nice to meet you\", ne?

Hee hee, he's so cute.

\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #5:<\/b> ----Ah, I remember. You're the one in the inter-school concours.

\"Photo<\/a>
Ousaki:<\/b> I'm Ousaki Shinobu.

On the day of the 2nd Selection.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Let's see who's better. Is that okay.

Of course I'm better. >D

\"Photo<\/a>
Performing Kanshouteki na Waltz B<\/i> aka one of Tsukimori's fave songs. Tsuchiura likes Version A, but it didn't have the necessary keywords (unless I picked the wrong option when learning the song) so I played Version B instead.

\"Photo<\/a>
He likes this combination. I kind of like the blue and red dresses more than the green one.

Anyway tralala, I won the selection again.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsuchiura:<\/b> Let's cut the chitchat and get going. Let's go back, Hino.

Well, I'm not sure how to translate \"muda hanashite nai de\" in Tsuchiura-speak, so I hope the \"cut the chitchat\" thing doesn't sound too rude. 8D;;

\"Photo<\/a>
Relationship pyramid thing. The others are mostly on the left, as usual.

\"Photo<\/a>
And his profile. His brithday is next month! I'll probably be more interested in the last HP book at that time, though.

To be continued! Sorry if this wasn't interesting since it was mostly on character introductions. I didn't unlock any CGs during the first two selections, anyway. >_> Funny, I managed to unlock most of Ousaki's CGs when I was playing his route.<\/a>

I also haven't been playing my Corda game ever since getting my Bleach<\/b> Heat the Soul 4 UMD. Why is Ishida taking forever to unlock. D: I mean, I've unlocked both Renjis, student!Rukia, some taichou\/fukutaichou people, lots of partners (KON U R TEH GREATEST EVER) and battlefields but still no Ishida. WHY. Speaking of games, when is my HaruToki 2 UMD coming in... *w* But the only one I really wanted to play was the first game (because durrrrr Tenma and Inori *_*).

As for graduation, despite registering late, my attendance was confirmed anyway. |D;; My PEM (kinda like your homeroom\/form teacher) actually sent me a text message reminding me to register, but I had already done so when she sent that. But I called my school during lunchtime, because apparently it's the best time to annoy people 8D<\/small> to confirm anyway, and they said yep, so OK! Now to buy the uniform. Why couldn't we just wear blazers like other previous graduates. I could have bought Innocent Life<\/b> with that money!<\/s>

Fathers' Day BBQ thing yesterday was okay. Sis gave some snacks (since she's still a kid, but a vain one at that), brothers shared $50 and I gave Dad $150 since I'm working. One of my cousins planned the party games (I ended up in a team with Aniki, younger sis and... some cousins' children whom I rarely talk to) and two of them were related Peribahasa (kinda like idioms). WTH MY MALAY KAN DAH LAMA DAH RABAK. My Malay is thrashed, totally. Thank God my team has Aniki and another nephew (who's older than me by a few months, but we were in the same schools for most of my school life) and they were former Higher Malay students = they do all the work. 8Db

Random picture of the moment:
\"Photo<\/a>
I just like how her hair looks like it's being blown by the wind. This was taken last week, so can you spot the Leaning Tower of Lacus Clyne #1?<\/small><\/center>

Yunoki 1st Play Part 2! Mostly the same pictures, so this is gonna be less interesting. :D;; But then, this is where he turns mushy\/corny. Beware of some inaccurate translations here and there.

Soooo. I remembered this took place during a weekend. I was running around the street behind the railway, the entrance, gate thingies, the park, music hall etc and still<\/i> couldn't find him.

In the end it turns out that he's on the roof at school (wtf are you doing in school on a Sunday? D:). The moment I reached the roof, there's the sound of a flute and the first thing that came to my mind was SCOOOOOORE! XD
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Are you going to practise here?

I picked yes, even if it's a big fat lie and that I was trying to find him actually hahaha.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Fuun~ so that means you want to practise in a place where there aren't a lot of people, huh.

I'm shy, what can you do. :D

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Or is it because you don't have the confidence to let people hear (your performance)?

Ahem, I would rather perform in places with looots of people so I can earn my monies, but no, I decided to look for you instead. Be happy lol.

Anyway, he must've realized he said something he shouldn't have.

\"Photo<\/a>
Reaction #1.

\"Photo<\/a>
Reaction #2.

\"Photo<\/a>
Reaction #3.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Will you forget those words (i.e. what he has said) just now?

I didn't take pics of every single line he says but... *checks events gallery to replay the scene* Anyway, he says, \"Isn't it better for you to practise in a place with a lot of people?\" and then something about \"people will recognise your performance, and will accept you\".

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> ...What? Is it strange for me to give you advice?

He's deeply troubled by this. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I think so too. But haven't you thought of wanting others to accept you?

I picked \"omou\" which is basically you agreeing with him that you have thought about it.

AHAHAHAHA another CG unlocked!
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> ...Who's saying that people would accept you?

So I was thinking, OMG U R JEALOUS!!!11!! I don't know why.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> There's no one who understands you.

Definitely jealous lol.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I'm the only one who--- (note: this is a whisper. Grey text = whispers, remember?)

STRIKE.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> ----- Ah. N-No, it's nothing.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Don't worry about me. .... S-see you!

He actually sounded really embarrassed here. So cute.

On the day before the last selection, Yunoki is at the roof minding his own business. I did talk to him, but there aren't any events to be unlocked so I see an innocent soul (read: Tsukimori) on the roof as well, waiting to be disturbed. So off I go, poking my favourite chara! AND.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...I'm sorry. This doesn't have anything to do with you. (He was emoing<\/s> talking about his family, as usual.)

WTF THE \"COMPLEX\" SCENE I PLAYED YOUR ROUTE THREE MORE TIMES TO UNLOCK THIS EVENT\/CG BUT COULDN'T GET IT AND NOW YOU DECIDED TO GIVE IT TO ME WHEN I WAS CHASING YUNOKI? [\/capslock rage of doom] No seriously, after the third time playing his route, I had two more of his CGs to unlock so I decided to play his route three more times but got nothing. D: Anyway, now there's still one more CG event which has been evading me. It's... *checks visual book* the one in the violin shop, where he tells you\/me\/Hino \"I want you to know more about the violin.\" I'm assuming you can only get that event after you've gotten your magical violin kaput, and that he brings you to a music shop to get your violin fixed\/strings tuned or something. Warrrgh.

So it's time to go home, the Last Selection is the next day, yada yada. Yunoki wasn't at the top of the pyramid thing, so I thought that I wouldn't be getting a confession ending, but just the normal date one. His profile:

\"Photo<\/a>
See, his rivalry points for me are pretty low, despite winning some of the selections and playing high-level songs. I figured that I must've done something wrong, until I took a look at Tsukimori's profile.

\"Photo<\/a>
>____> Why do you have high rivalry points for me? And yeah, since I wasn't chasing after him, I didn't bother trying to play Cantabile<\/i>. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Kaho...

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Ah, I have something to say to you after the Selection has ended. Thanks for everything up till now >:D

\"Photo<\/a>
Results of the concours! I screwed up the last two selections on purpose in order to play the two songs Yunoki likes. And then I realized that I could always choose the same songs I did for Tsukimori's route and play the songs Yunoki likes after I've practiced enough for the Last Selection. I'm so dumb! Maybe that's why the rivalry points weren't high. Or is it true that Yunoki's rivalry points is based on the amount of BP\/money you have? (I had 4,000+ before deciding to spend them all 8D)

His door-opening scene.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Kaho... :>

You know how the guys are all too shy to confess to you on the roof and prefer to do it behind your back. D:
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I've been thinking when I would say it... since the concours have ended now, I would definitely say it...

So he says some mushy things and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> That's why... it's your fault, you see? ^^ That I said these things.

... ... ... D:<\/font><\/b>

Why is everything my<\/i> fault?

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Will you somehow forgive me for my rudeness? ^_____^

Suddenly he's using \"boku\" (he uses \"ore\" and \"omae\" when he's in Black Mode) and polite speech again.

And before I get to say anything...
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Of course you'll forgive me, right? Thanks, Hino. |D

This guy takes the easy way out. D: And actually he calls me Kaho now, but this was taken from the events gallery (because I was too lazy to take pics while playing) so my name was reverted back to Hino.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> There's still a time when I can be free. That's what I have to believe.

You want to be free? Seriously Yunoki, follow what Kaji said in the Kaji-Yunoki fight scene: You can like, LEAVE YOUR grandma<\/s> HOME. You're already 18.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I want to hear it from you. When you saw the real me, what did you feel\/think? Were you shocked?

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> But right now, that's not the answer.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Don't say anything, just stay by me.

See, mushy Y\/Y?

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> And then will you let me hear that song just now (the song I was playing before he opened the door) once more, in exchange for your words?

He wants me to play instead of talking to him. :O

This is what his ending confession looks like:
\"Photo<\/a>
Leaning against a tree<\/i>

\"Photo<\/a>
Waiting for youuuuuuu~~~<\/i>

\"Photo<\/a>
And the picture you'll get at the end of the confession. Now I must try to get the date ending. Maybe I should screw up all the Selections on purpose. 8Db

This is from the music gallery:
\"Photo<\/a>
Whatever song you've played\/unlocked will be archived here. And after you've completed a character's route and get either the date or confession ending, the character will appear in the gallery too. For example, I haven't played Shimizu's route, so there's a music student playing the cello instead of him. I've already completed Tsukimori, Hihara and Yunoki's routes, that's why they're there.<\/a>

And instead of playing Yunoki's route for the second time, I decided to chase after Tsukimori yet again<\/small> hoping to unlock that last, elusive CG. Still failed to do so. WHY SO DIFFICULT D: *shakes fist*

Anyway, I scored 1,000 points for both love and rivalry again<\/i>! SCORE! Oh, remember me saying that the game cheats for the guys and that you can never win overall? Apparently I was wrong.
\"Photo<\/a>
I R CHAMPAGNE<\/s>ION. >:O First time ever, smashing through first place in every selection. Don't look down on General Education students now, you Music Department elitists! >XD I played the same songs I recommended in my previous post. Maybe I should really do a walkthrough of some sort for Tsukimori, but gameplay differs each time... and these days people are playing the second game.<\/small>

And since I ignore Lili most of the time, let's give the poor guy some attention. He's still annoying in the game for popping up constantly, but cute in the anime and manga<\/s>
\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> You've really done it! I'm so moved (impressed)! I never expected you to be champion!

I didn't either. Well I did think, \"Okay so how's Tsukimori gonna win overall now that I won the first three Selections...\" But Amou interviewed him in the ending anyway.

\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> That thing was worried for you up till the end.

My violin has feelings. D: I never knew. spanked<\/s>

\"Photo<\/a>
Lili:<\/b> Saa, it's only the beginning! The time has come for you to play a new type of music!

I think what he meant was something like \"the beginning of a new era\" except with music.

Random shot of Tsukimori.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Uhm... That piece you played just now... who were you playing it for?

You're clueless aren't you? Or maybe he's trying to keep his ego under wraps, that's why he didn't ask, \"Is it for me 8D?\"

And the whole flashback thingy at the end.
\"Photo<\/a>
This is when you spot Lili, while your two friends are yakking away.

\"Photo<\/a>
Running around finding fairies.

\"Photo<\/a>
During the weekend. See Ousaki in one corner?

\"Photo<\/a>
Watching Shimizu play. I didn't really care for Shimizu at the start, but his chibi form (ignoring the fact that they're all chibis) is so cute! And his CGs are cute too!

\"Photo<\/a>
Playing hide and seek with Tsukimori. I kid. I wish my school was this pretty. Oh wait, what am I talking about, my (ex-)school is pretty, interior-wise. On the exterior, it's just so dull and grey.

\"Photo<\/a>
I have no idea why the music students are lined up like that. ._.

\"Photo<\/a>
*shudders* XD;; I like his Corda 2 clothes<\/a> more, both the weekend\/casual and concours ones. So purdy. I like Kaji's too<\/a>. *_* Can't wait for the special manga chapter with Kaji. Need moooore Kaji.

\"Photo<\/a>
And from confession ending.

\"Photo<\/a>
This is where he says, \"Kimi ga suki da yo... hontou ni. Ore no kimochi ga, tsutawaru darou ka?\" (I love you, really. I wonder if my feelings will reach you?) XD;;

Maybe I should hold a poll to know which Corda character to play next. But I know you'll all vote for Tsuchiura. *wants to chase after Ousaki*

Oh, partly related to Corda. Remember my favourite pairing from my original fic? I don't write the fic anymore now that my 11 chapters in the old computer were thrown away, sucks to be me<\/small> but I still love redesigning the characters. And I created Sims versions of my two favourite ones. This is what they look like:
\"Photo<\/a>
(The redhead with Rikku's hairstyle is the guy's older sis) They're a crazy couple; constantly making out and telling dirty jokes when I leave them alone, so they were kissing again one day when my sis walked in and...

Sis:<\/b> EWWWWWW WHY IS TSUKIMORI AND OUSAKI KISSING DDDD:
Me:<\/b> WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT D:
Sis:<\/b> Oh. It's a guy and a girl. Is it guy!Hino and girl!Tsukimori?
Me:<\/b> ... orz

I should do a Sims 2 post soon, but I haven't been playing much. The poor guy has been doing nothing but gardening and the girl just got electrocuted last week. Man, that scared me for a bit, because I thought she was gonna die.<\/a>

I've been eating mayonaise out of a bottle lately. 8D;; I hated mayonaise when I was younger, but they taste pretty okay to me these days. Or there's something wrong with my tastebuds.

I also spent a good 5 or so minutes watching Photobucket's picture count go to 2,949,600,000.

Also decided to fix my Leaning Tower of Lacus Clyne #1 by... making her lean the other way. Leaning Tower of Lacus Clyne #2 is still a hopeless case, though. Anyway I was testing out the different modes in my camera while trying to take pics of figurines.

\"Photo<\/a>
Striiiiiiiiipping Shinn. I messed around with the contrast in Photoshop. :D And yeah, I was looking at SHnY figures on AmiAmi.<\/small><\/center>

It's been almost two months since I last did a random Corda game post. Sorry, I keep telling myself that I'll get on to Yunoki's route and then Tsuchiura (the Corda fans on my flist tend to be Tsuchiura fans... where's the love for Tsukimori and Yunoki?<\/small>) but I kinda got lazy, ahahaha. I might play Yunoki's route once again before starting on Tsuchiura, though. Nfufufufu. Anyway, first up is a bit from Tsukimori's route from the 4th to 6th time no no no, I AM DEFINITELY NOT a fangirl 8D what are you looking at?<\/small>, because I was trying to get his last two unlocked CGs.

Tsukimori's route!

Remember the scene where Tsukimori's reading a book and you can go and disturb him for a bit? I just like to take pictures of him sitting. XD
\"Photo<\/a>
Check out the way Yunoki sits too. I think he's sitting with the left leg over the right, but the right leg all... straightened?

This is after one of the selections (not the first, because Tsuchiura came to talk to me and got himself dragged into the concours lol) when Tsukimori offers to walk me home.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Ah... uhm, if you're fine with it, I want to accompany you to your home\/house. Just a little more... no, it's nothing.

Actually he wants to talk for a little longer ahaha.

\"Photo<\/a>
A big circle's such a waste if there's so few people around. :x

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori's so picky; you're only guaranteed a confession ending if you managed to raise the skill\/rivalry points to over 600. Well, I think it's the same for Hihara. And the second song he likes is Cantabile<\/i> Version B! Okay, I cheated and checked my memorial book instead of playing random music and see if he likes it. Good thing I cheated too, because Cantabile<\/i> Version B requires two skills learnt AND Cheerfulness Lvl 19 (omgbbq) before you can play it. If I didn't know he likes that piece, I wouldn't have even bothered trying to increase my Cheerfulness level and try playing that song.

\"Photo<\/a>
I couldn't help talking to Yunoki, so that's why he's a little interested in me. 1.55am fufufu<\/s>

Results of the four selections.
\"Photo<\/a>
Check out the rankings 8D It's me and Tsukimori dominating the ranks. Violin romance much?

Aaaaand this is from the last time I played Tsukimori's route. The 6th time. I might've hit 7, who knows.
\"Photo<\/a>
Lol, Tsukimori at the top of the pyramid thing = A GUARANTEED CONFESSION. And the third selection hasn't even ended! Fastest progress evarrr. At least I don't have to worry about getting a bad ending and I can afford to screw up the last two selections and still get my confession ending. I am too skilled for these people, that's why they're either in the middle, or standing towards the left side. XD

Seeeeeee? Heart thingies are important, but you need high rival points too. (If you win the first two selections, it'll usually be easy, because Tsukimori's rival points will increase a lot XD)
\"Photo<\/a>
They should've stuck to that face instead of the :D one.

\"Photo<\/a>
And look FIRST TIME EVER! 1000 points for both. Usually the rival points are harder to get but yeay. I feel accomplished. >:Ob That's why I don't understand why people say Tsukimori's route is rather hard (I thought Hihara's was harder!), because I've gotten his confession ending each time I play (except for the first time, since I was clueless about the game). Bit of advice for those who are playing the first game and chasing after Tsukimori. Pieces you should play:

1st Selection:<\/b> Ave Maria<\/i> (\u30a2\u30f4\u30a7\u3000\u30fb\u3000\u30de\u30ea\u30a2) Version B, as the piece concentrates on Elegance, but increases Sadness as well. It also contains the two keywords you need for the first selection (depending on which option you pick when you're learning it). Play a bit of Melody<\/i> and Gavotte<\/i> once you've maxed out Ave Maria<\/i> Version B, in order increase Sadness and Cheerfulness levels more.

2nd Selection:<\/b> Kanshouteki na Waltz<\/i> (\u611f\u50b7\u7684\u306a\u30ef\u30eb\u30c4) Version B. This is one of the pieces Tsukimori likes, so why not play it? Depending on the option you pick, you'll get two of the keywords you require too. Plus the song increases Sadness greatly. Play other songs during the remaining time left till the day of the 2nd Selection.

3rd Selection:<\/b> Humouresque<\/i>. (\u30e6\u30fc\u30e2\u30ec\u30b9\u30af) Lol I actually got the spelling correct when I was wondering about it in one of my posts...<\/small> I think any version will do. Happy songs are good for the 3rd Selection. The song concentrates on Cheerfulness, so max out on one for the selection and try to max out the rest. Use the Hawaiian shirt item thingy along with your performance, because they'll multiply your Cheerfulness points by 2, and the more points you get, the faster you can increase your Cheerfulness level to 19 so that you'll be able to play Cantabile<\/i>.

4th Selection:<\/b> Cantabile<\/i> (\u30ab\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u30d3\u30eb) Version B, durrrr, since Tsukimori likes it too. XD You need two skill thingies, but I think you'll already have one if you have learnt some skills (by running around), so all you need is to just buy one more relevant skill book. There's only one keyword which is from the list of keywords for the 4th Selection, but you can still play this song anyway, since it's quite a high-level one. (I mean, I tried playing a song with two of the required results and got a lower ranking whereas I got a higher ranking with Cantabile<\/i>, despite it having only one of the required keywords.)

If you can do that, you'll get loads of rival points from Tsukimori. XD And yanno, when practising, make sure he's nearby to impress him or something. He'll be stingy unless you're really good, but sometimes he'll give some words of encouragement.<\/s> And I think you can perform a duet for Cantabile<\/i> with him too. :Db

\"Photo<\/a>
There, my rankings are pretty good with those songs. I don't know why Tsuchiura ranked so badly. And I ignored him most of the time, so he didn't participate in the 1st Selection.<\/small> Remember, you can never be the winner in this game, so the highest you can get for overall is 2nd place. These boys are such cheaters. I don't know if you can get 1st for overall if you're chasing after Kanazawa or Ousaki, though.

Aaaaanyway, after the whole thing, there'll be flashbacks of your gameplay from each of the selections. Of course you can choose to skip it, but I watched it for the fun of it.
\"Photo<\/a>
This one looks as if I was looking out of the window. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
More sitting! Look at the different ways Amou and Hihara sit.

\"Photo<\/a>
And lol Tsuchiura playing in the middle of the road. That's why these pianists in the game amuse me. They whip out a piano out of nowhere and play.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori and Tsuchiura practically played the same song. Tsukimori played 24 Caprice<\/i>-something for the last selection (it's the same song he played for the last selection in the anime and oh heck, have a karaoke version<\/a> of Fill my heart<\/i>. Go to 3:26, and that's the piece. The karaoke's pretty nice to listen on its own; I listen to it on my way to work everyday. XD) and Tsuchiura played a somewhat piano version of it. Anyway I have seen it being played by real people, and it looks hard. Even <\/a>festivewind<\/b><\/a><\/span> (I know you teach piano, but I guess you know about violins too XD?) said that his skill is \"inhuman\" for a 17-year-old. You go, Tsukimori!

Anyway I also played Hihara's route for like, till the sixth time and finally got his confession ending. Took you long enough, dammit. In order to increase his skill points, I played the same songs I did when chasing for Tsukimori, because Humouresque<\/i> and Cantabile<\/i> are both happy songs and well, he likes happy songs. But I think Morita's voice-acting in the confession wasn't good enough. XD;;<\/a>

ajkgdjsjagdhjs okay, Yunoki time. One fine day, I see a fairy, get forcefully thrown into the concours<\/s> selected as a participant, ignore Amou, and go to the music classrom by myself. Walk towards the left side\/front, and you'll see this girl.
\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> (sh, I can't read the Kanji for her name) You're the girl from the General Education department who was selected to participate in the concours, right?

\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> If a girl from the Gen Ed department could participate, then I should've been good enough\/be able to...

\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> It's not fair that you get to participate together with Yunoki-sama!

Ooooh, she's pissed. And Yunoki-sama now, eh? PS did you see Shimizu standing there? Tsukimori was in one corner looking at fairies and I was this<\/i> close to poking him. D:

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL LOL.
\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> Ah, Yunoki-sama!

So he says nice things...
\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> Yes! I'm so happy that I got to talk to you Yunoki-sama!

You will ignore the blurry pic. :D And her attitude's totally different now. Sasuga Yunoki-sama!

\"Photo<\/a>
Random female music student:<\/b> And you, make sure that you won't be a nuisance to Yunoki-sama!

Me and Yunoki now ahaha.
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #1:<\/b> I'm sorry. You're... let's see, that's right, I don't know your name yet.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I'm Yunoki Azuma, a third-year in the Music Department, specializing in the flute.

I know lol.<\/small>

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> The concours are tough, but don't push yourself too much. ^___^

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Well then, see you. It'll be nice if we can talk more the next time.

Shimizu's still standing there. XD Anyway, it's time to poke the Tsundere Prince.
\"Photo<\/a>
Suspicious Guy #2:<\/b> That's right, I heard that a student from the General Department is participating in the concours... so it's you?

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I see. I'm Tsukimori Ren (AKA Len, because he's retarded even though Kanji\/Furigana says \"Ren\" let's not talk about Viz screwing up his name all over<\/s>) from the Music Department, specializing in the violin.

And that's all. :\/ The guys will appear as \"???\" unless they reveal their names when you talk to them. Or if you ignore them all the way till the day before the 1st Selection, Amou will disturb you on your way back and introduce you to them. (Usually for Hihara and Fuyuumi. For Tsukimori, it'll happen earlier and she'll go, \"GASP YOU DON'T KNOW HIM?\" For Shimizu and Tsuchiura, I think Kanayan will introduce you to them.)

Yunoki disturbing me in the morning lol. Actually you'll get this even if you're not chasing after him. The game wants his fangirls to hate you or something, haha.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> If it's fine, would you like to ride (in his car) to school?

Of course once you reach school, you'll get the Yunoki Fanclub whispering behind your back. Next! Going to school on another day and bumping into Tsukimori (not that I asked for it).
\"Photo<\/a>
Random music student (female):<\/b> G-g-good morning, Tsukimori-kun!

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Good morning.

\"Photo<\/a>
Random music student (female):<\/b> *going off* KYAAAA I managed to greet him!

And this is his reaction after that:
\"Photo<\/a>
*rolls about on floor, laughing*

Talking to Yunoki in... I don't know what the place is called. I would call it the entrance since it's at the gates with the statue of Lili, but there's already a place called the entrance...
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Good afternoon, Hino-san. Are you practising today too? Don't push yourself too much, but do your best.

Uhm, okay. :D

See this girl with the musical note in the speech bubble thing?
\"Photo<\/a>
She's waiting for you. XD Actually, that's Mori Manami and when you walk nearer, she'll approach you and offers to be your accompanist. She's a very, very nice person. *_* I don't know if you need to reach a level for something, but if you talk to her everyday, she'll give you an item. Every single day. 8D But I usually don't do that, because 1. you don't know where she'll be and 2. she looks like any other female music student in the game: blue tie, long, brown hair (gen ed female students have short hair) and cream uniform. In the anime and manga, she's actually Tsukimori's classmate.

Random scene in school.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Because it's a senpai's duty to do whatever he can for a kouhai. (Something like that, not too sure about the duty part 8D)

\"Photo<\/a>
Winner of the 1st Selection yay.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Yaa, Hino-san. Are you going back now? Would you let me ride\/accompany (in the car) you back?

Interested now? >:D I think he hasn't turned black yet... maybe.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Ah, Hino-san. I wonder if you like sweet things. If you're okay with it, here, have one.

Apparently some first year gave a cookie (or a bag of cookies) and he gave one to me. Way to give others' gifts to er... others. Wait, I think that's what some people do for Xmas<\/s> Actually he turned black after that, but I didn't snap a pic.

This is him performing!
\"Photo<\/a>
The sucky thing about being near a guy when they're performing is that you can't perform, be it a solo or a duet\/quintet\/whatever. So usually I'll just stand there and pretend to watch. XD After the guy has finished performing, your character, as well as the ones surrounding the guy, will clap.

\"Photo<\/a>
This is Black Yunoki!

At this point, I had to restart the game all over again. See, there was one scene where Black Yunoki was teasing me as usual, so I put up a kind of sad face. When he asked why, I said that it was his fault (just for the kick of it, as payback for Black Yunoki being mean) and he was like, \"I see. I'm sorry then. :<\" or something like that. I'll have to look into the events gallery to check the scene again. Anyway, I lost A LOT of rabu points and I couldn't chase after him anymore. So now it's my<\/i> fault? D: Anyway, I stopped halfway and started all over again, back to that scene in the game. Continuing on...

One day, he was near the gates, so there's the option of going home with him. He doesn't mind. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Ahh, the car's not here yet, so let's wait a little longer till it arrives. ..That's right.

Actually after the \"That's right\" he'll talk to you for a bit, mostly about his family. I tend to skip them since there's no voice-acting.

On the roof with Black Yunoki!
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I'm going now. See you, Hino.

Another day on the roof, with Tsukimori in the corner over there.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Iya da na, (something like \"Oh dear\" but a little ghei XD) what's the matter? Are you worried that I called you Hino-san?

And after that I became the target of the Yunoki Fanclub when he decided to show his sad face (on purpose). orz
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> From now on, would you like me to send you (and your violin) back home after school?

Okay, less exercise. :D And when you accept...
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> I see. You're a good girl (wtf). Well, see you next time.

Of course you must talk to the guy you're chasing after as often as possible, so.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> You're talking to me a lot of times, so do you like me? ...That's impossible.

LOL WATCH YOUR EGO, YUNOKI.

On the way to skewl.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Good morning, Hino-san. If it's fine with you, let me send (ride) you to school.

Date time. Tsukimori and Hihara's dates are on Saturdays, his is on a Sunday.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> You're late.

My, being very nice. >_>

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Maa, it doesn't matter. Let's go, Hino.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Did you know that there's such a store in the middle of the street behind the railway?

Uh, no. Because the area near the railway is where I like to practise because there's a lot of people = more chances for trio and quintet performances = more BP lulz.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> If there's a next time (i.e. next time he's free or something, because he's got quite a mean, \"I > all\" grandmama), let's go on a more (free and easy? \"-yasui\" is something like easy) recreation sometime. Maybe we might even go on a cruiser.

CRUISER\/CRUISE OKAY I'M SO<\/i> ON.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> If there's a next time, that is. See you then.

W-what, it's not like you're going to Europe or something.

First-name calling scene!
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> ... So it's you. Lend me your ears for a bit.

\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> (whispering rofl) ----- Kahoko.

After that he asks something. I said it's fine to call me \"Kaho\" instead of \"Kahoko\" XD.

His reaction is a ^______^ of course.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Is that so? Then I'll call you that. Only when it's just the two of us, Kaho.

Please do, because your fangirls are sooooo going to skin me alive if they hear you calling me \"Kaho\" D:

To be continued on Saturday! All I can say is that he's pretty corny when in lurrrrve too. XD<\/a>

About the Odex fiasco... I'm not going to support the company. I'd rather spend my money on artbooks, CDs (look, I do buy originals too), figures and junkfood for pigging out instead of your crappy releases. I hope you'll lose so much money that you'll have to close down someday. :Db At least, that's what everyone is hoping for. Yeay for your plan backfiring! ♥

Aaaaand LJ. Hm. Still pondering over the permanent account thing or wait till my paid time expires next year, assuming that they'll do another permanent account sale next year. AND HEY <\/a>glowinglotus<\/b><\/a><\/span>, could you help me add this<\/a> to the June batch? :D;; I'm estimating a total of 15,000 yen for the June batch, which isn't beyond my budget. Omg full versions of all the game endings, finally. Neeeed. See, Odex, fansubs spark interest. I wouldn't have spent so much over GSD and Corda if it wasn't for fansubs.<\/small>

Linked from <\/a>sai_rin<\/b><\/a><\/span>. Whoever who has 192,000 yen to spare, please get me these<\/a>. *bricked* XD Dollfie\/BJD versions of the Suiseiseki and Souseiseki!

Me not updating for like, five days in a row is... kinda unheard of, actually. When I get back from work, I like to laze around on bed or watch a bit of anime. I'm also too lazy to read the news nowadays so I don't know what's the big fuss about the ministers' pay rise blah blah ah local politics<\/small>. Plus, when I get back, usually some other family member will be hogging the modem. I need to figure out how to set up the modem since dad, my two brothers and I are all using laptops.

Anyway! Paycheque = splurging on myself lolz.
\"Image<\/a>
MY GOOOOOOOOLD PSP! And earrings (I misplaced my favourite heart-shaped ones which Mom bought for me when we were poking our nose around that all-for-$2 cart T_T) because I haven't worn any for months and I'm afraid of the holes closing up, and that bag contains gummies. I loooooove sour gummies, despite the Bad Things they do to your stomach and tongue.<\/small><\/center>

Now I can stop using my younger brother's PSP. I stay away from gold with a ten-foot pole and prefer silver when it comes to accessories, but for some reason, the gold version caught my eye when I was looking up available PSP colours on YesAsia. Black and white are too common as they're the first colours available and the blue and pink ones look gross and<\/i> for some odd reason the silver one doesn't really interest me so gold version it is! Besides, the shop I got it from only has the gold and black ones available, though I told the lady there a big fat lie: that I was actually looking for the silver one. I like playing the good and fussy-less customer (if you have worked in sales before, surely you must've learnt to appreciate nice customers who don't ask too many questions, man), but I do like disturbing people by asking irrelevant questions (nicely with a :DDDD face) from time to time. XD;;

Anyway I played my Corda game again, because I don't have any other games and younger brother only has the Monster Hunter<\/b> thingy. Well he did buy the ZAFT VS Rengou game (I wanna play and blow up shit too!) but I don't think I'll get to try it out until he's sick of it. And why are all the interesting-sounding games coming out in July or August? I can't keep on dating virtual boys till August! Anyway, yeah, the game. Hihara 1st Play Part two, and random comments on my 2nd try (in which I didn't get a date ending jeez why are you playing hard to get, Hihara? >_>) hoho. And I was bored, so I chased after Tsukimori for the third time and I unlocked more events and got more conversations which I didn't get in my first two tries! Seducing<\/s> Making him fully fall in love (1000 rabu-rabu points!) with me before the end of the 3rd Selection helped, I guess.<\/small> I didn't know there are more Tsukimori events\/CGs to be unlocked, like shouta Tsukimori. Awesome.

Continuing from last time lala.

Anyway, this is how you earn BP\/monies:
\"Photo<\/a>
You find a place with looooooads of people, try to get as many people inside the circle as you can (more like, move around till you fit in the most number of people you can into the circle), and then you play mooozik. Uh, play the good ones, the pieces where you have high points for, so that you'll get more BP. If you're trying out a new piece, it's very likely that you'll get only 10 BP from the gen-ed students (the ones in black uniform) and NO BP AT ALL from the music students (white uniform) because they tend to be more picky.

Hihara, being high on sugar as usual.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Kahoko, over here, over here~ I've been waiting. Let's go back?

Chicken feet (local slang for \"super easy\") question!
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> It's about the concours. Do you find it fun?

Before that he was uncomfortable about something. Anyway I said that, yes, concours are fun. Because you know, if you're trying to catch this guy, it must all be about FUN and ENJOYMENT and HAPPINESS and yada yada, you get the point. XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, that's great. I'm relieved.

Oh sweet God, he's worrying about whether I'm enjoying the concours. XD;; Tsukimori never cared, that PMSer. :(<\/small>

Saving the game.
\"Photo<\/a>
So my main level is high, but my levels for those three thingies are low. That's what I get for running around too much. :x

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I thought that if I go to school together with you, it'll be much more fun...

Going to school is never fun! Well, if you have a nice guy going with you, maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah... I have to go! Ehehe, Kahoko, see you later!

The good part about chasing after Hihara is that he likes staying at the entrance, so it's easy to find him. Tsukimori likes being on the roof, but sometimes he turns up at random places like the music-classroom thing, the concert hall or even the park thing. X_x Normally I'll head to the roof to find him first and if he's not there, then<\/i> I'll run around school trying to find him. So anyway, this is at the entrance:
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, Kahoko, do you like sweet things?

As this point, I was already thinking, OK HE'S GOING TO ASK ME OUT TO EAT CAKE YEAY... and is he gonna sit and stare at me like a girl while I eat my cake?<\/i> (PS he did.) So he asks me if I'd like to go out with him next weekend or something and I said okay.

\"Photo<\/a>
Then we played a song together with one random music guy! It's called YUUMORESUKU in Katakana but since I dunno the names of classical music, I don't know what it's really called. I keep thinking something like \"Humouresque\" (humour\/humor + esque) LOLOLOL. -_-

On the day of the outing.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I'm sorry, am I late?

\"Photo<\/a>
Gas attendant clothes, ew. Is it me or does that word on his shirt says \"funky\"? Funkey? Fun key? <-- WHAT

Anyway see, he's staring at me like a girl.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I wonder what I should talk about at a time like this. Uhm...

Say whatever you want, senpai, I'll listen!

\"Photo<\/a>
Removed the text. The cake looks good, but what's with the musical notes\/decoration things?

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Thank you for today and uhm...

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> It was fun! See you then.

Everything's fun to him! I bet he likes taking exams for music too, who knows.

\"Photo<\/a>
Playing the something-teki na Waltz (I think it was Kanshouteki\/Kanshoteki? I suck at Kanji) in a park with Hihara and some guy with a clarinet. Because of Fuyuumi playing the clarinet, now I kind of find it girly for a guy to play it...

At 17:41 onwards (each day ends at 18:00) you can't hunt for fairies, perform solo or perform duets\/whatever. Finding fairies and playing music with others will take up around 20 minutes and playing solo will take 50 minutes. So usually I'll go around talking to random people, whether they're the characters you can chase after or random students to use up the remaining time instead of going home early. I see Ousaki in the park and decided to poke him and...
\"Photo<\/a>
He shows how to lick<\/s> suck<\/s> eat a kiddy item like a popsicle and still look good. phallic object ooh<\/s> Everytime I look at him, I'll be, \"Guh, this is Komui Li!\"

One of the random times where I find Tsukimori in the park thing.
\"Photo<\/a>
He's sitting on the stone bench like the retard he is, and I wanted to take a pic of him (again) but a random student stood in front of him. D: Screw you! *shakes fist* The random music thingies show that you can play music together with the music students. The more people you play with, the more BP you'll get.

Hihara's chart thingy is reeeeeally spaced out. Also look at the way the charas are positioned on the chart.
\"Photo<\/a> ---> \"Image<\/a>
*SHOT FOR TEH LAME*

Hihara's profile.
\"Photo<\/a>
Rabu points are high, but skill\/rival points are mada mada dane.

Before the Last Selection. I loled at how you can choose which guy to meet (something like that) before the performance.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Yaa, Kahoko.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> What's the matter? Are you nervous because today's the last?

After that he says that he's scared too, but no matter what the result is, he wants the concours to be enjoyable. I seem to have deleted the cap, but at least I wrote the conversation down on Post-Its XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> And uh... do you have time later?

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> There's something I want to know---- ah no, something I want to say. S-See you! (His, \"Ja, jaa!\" was weird. Oi, Mogita.)

The results of the Last Selection:
\"Photo<\/a>
Aaaaand I'm the third! Tsukimori's second.

\"Photo<\/a>
WHAT THE HECK, HE'S FIRST?

\"Photo<\/a>
I played the song Kiniro no KORUDA<\/i> which is uh, the title of the game. Ahahaha. Oh Koei, had fun putting in two of your other game titles as music pieces, eh? You can play Harukanaru Toki no Naka de<\/i> and a theme from Angelique too (I don't know, I've never seen the anime nor played the game), but I didn't manage to unlock those songs because I couldn't find the specific fairies.

As for overall winners.
\"Photo<\/a>
Third place.

\"Photo<\/a>
Second place. I whipped Elite Music Student-sama's (what Tsuchiura calls Tsukimori) butt fufufu.

\"Photo<\/a>
FIRST PLACE. .______.

\"Photo<\/a>
Now, this is where I think the game cheats (as mentioned previously). Taking a look at the results, Tsukimori and Hihara both placed 2nd and champion for two of the selections. Tsukimori placed 4th for the other two whereas Hihara placed 6th. There is no freakin' way Hihara could've beat Tsukimori in winning overall. Me placing higher than Tsukimori in the overall ranking makes more sense. You know, I should've been the overall winner from the look of the previous results!<\/small> So see, no matter what, the game makes it that the guy you're chasing after will win overall, so Amou gets to interview him in the ending and then he'll cut the interview short and runs up to the roof to meet you. Lololol.

Bits and pieces of the interview.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> That was surprising! (Another translation would be \"scary\" and yes, I think it's scary that he actually won and beat the Tsundere Prince) I never thought that I would be the champion!

I don't know how to translate the first line (\"kore kara ga ki ni narutte imi nara\") so I'll skip that. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I like her performance.

That's the last line. If I try to translate the whole thing loosely, it'll be something like if he's troubled\/worried (from now on), it must be because of me. XD I guess it's because he's the champion, he's troubled over me? Also notice how in front of Amou, he's calling me Hino-chan, and not Kahoko. Because you know, Amou is sharp and she'll ask more questions as to why he's calling me by my first name instead of surname fufufu. She's the one who thinks that Yunoki's extreme politeness\/nice-ness is suspicious. And seriously, Black Yunoki is so rude!

Brushing her off.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, I'm sorry! There's a place where I have to go too, so we'll stop talking here! :O!

Opening the door on the roof...
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Kahoko...

Tsukimori's \"I'm opening the door nfu nfu nfu\" CG is still sexier.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Is it okay now? No matter what, I'll have to talk to you, just the two of us.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I've always had (some sort of) feelings towards you.

SAPPYYYYYYYYY.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> If it wasn't for the concours and me participating, and if you weren't there...

SAPPYYYYYYYYY x2

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I'm really troubled (worrying over) about what you think of me.

And he says that all while :DDDDDDDing.

I think I must have deleted another cap before this.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> But if that's okay, then I absolutely won't think of it. (? Please correct me guh) I'm really happy that I got to meet you.

Epitome of sap. Well, at least he's pretty straightforward, unlike a certain someone. *cough Tsukimori cough*

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Even though the concours have ended, I still want to look at you.

Staaalker. Meet Kaji Version 0.5 lol. I only say 0.5 instead of 1.0 or 2.0 because Kaji's only in the second game.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> So can I please request something? That song just now (i.e. the song I played for the last Selection)... will you play it once more for me?

\"Photo<\/a>
So this is the date picture. NO CONFESSION ah well, my skill\/rivalry points weren't high enough.<\/a>

2nd play... I didn't take a lot of pictures, because it was the same things all over again. And while I did unlock two more Hihara CGs, for some reason I'm not in love with him or something so I didn't even get a date ending lol. I got Lili. orz And speaking of Lili, he's the most annoying character in the game. Well, along with Fuyuumi and Shimizu. Why? BECAUSE THEY TALK TOO MUCH. Especially when you know, I want to chase after the guys and Lili pops up after I've played a piece and gives lengthy conversations. As for Fuyuumi and Shimizu, they talk to each other for a looooong time, especially the scenes on the roof and the concert hall. So yes, those lengthy conversations annoy me a lot.

...And then when playing the game for the fifth time, (which is like, at least after 32 hours of playing, because it takes around 8 hours each time) I've finally discovered that the right trigger is for skipping those conversations. *facepalm* See, I was talking to Tsukimori and accidentally hit the right trigger and was like, \"WHY IS THE CONVERSATION FAST-FORWARDING :O\"

Anyway, 2nd play for Hihara piccies. So somebody on the Corda comm brought up the fact that Tsukimori has bad eyesight and that he's actually wearing contacts. (<\/a>xaevyn<\/b><\/a><\/span> and I then moe-d over the thought of megane!Tsukimori ♥_♥) Apparently I had skipped over that part in the game where he was talking about his contacts, because it was one of those \"give the poor guy a gift\" scenes and I tend to button-mash through the conversations (because there's no voice-acting). Whoops. But while chasing for Hihara for the second time, I happened to talk to Tsukimori and got the contacts scene wooo.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> No, the wind just now blew dust into my eyes, so my contacts are...

Give us Tsukimori fangirls our official megane!Tsukimori art please. D: ([Edit]<\/b> CHECK OUT THE AI NO AISATSU BOOK FOR MEGANE!STELLA QUINTET)

And ahaha I have a hanky.
\"Photo<\/a>
Text box:<\/b> You have a hankerchief. Give it to Tsukimori?

Of course I gave it to him, even if I wasn't supposed to chase after him this time but but but the Tsukimori fangirl in me is twitchy uuuu<\/small>.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Eh... aa, thanks.

Actually he did smile after that. And he was blinking, so I happened to take this when he blinked. He looks like a jerk with his eyes shut oops. After that he opens his eyes and suddenly becomes nicer har har.

And then I went about poking others and Yunoki.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> ...You're really cute.

I thought he would go all BLACK YUNOKI on me, but I'll probably get that when I'm chasing after him next time.

Taking a pic of the retard sitting again.
\"Photo<\/a>
He looks like... he's suffering from constipation or something. I don't know, the way he sits... it's kind of a \"I'm sitting on the toilet seat, quietly producing chocolate cake\" look. X_X

\"Photo<\/a>
This is me playing Gavotte<\/i> (or Gavot... I have no idea how it's spelt) with Hihara-senpai, and Tsukimori's listening too. Hoho. Oh I forgot, the reason why the guys are not in uniform is because this is a weekend, not a weekday.

\"Photo<\/a>
I think the circle gets bigger when you gain levels or something. It goes back to being small when you get your violin thrashed sometime in between the 3rd and 4th Selections. See, your magical violin becomes a normal violin, so you'll have to start practicing all over again.

\"Photo<\/a>
You can select between performing alone or with others. It's really hard to perform with four others. Trying to get them in one circle is tough.

\"Photo<\/a>
People with pianos amuse me. See, they're just walking around with the piano sign and when you play with them, the piano just pops up like that. I mean, if you look it this way, who walks around carrying pianos? XD;; Other instruments are smaller and can be carried easily, but the piano?

As for the unlocked CGs...
\"Photo<\/a>
This was when I was talking to him and he was all \"Okay, let's ganbatte (do our best) together!\"

\"Photo<\/a>
And when I got this scene, I was half-afraid that he would discover my magical violin and bitch at me again like Tsukimori did, but he was just trying to hold the violin and wanted to test it. Ah, so cute.

Aaaaand the 3rd play for Tsukimori. I chose a different opening this time, so I didn't have to go through all the talk about the Violence<\/s> Violin Romance. And when I was in the music classroom, I saw Tsukimori looking at fairies AHAHAHAHA. *dies* I mean, everytime a fairy appears, he would turn to look at it and go \"... ... ...\" while I'm just standing there watching him turning about 360 degrees, so it was pretty funny. That's why I think all of them know about the fairies (and why he was so harsh towards me using a magical violin durrr).

There's also a scene where Kanazawa-sensei was saying how he didn't look too good and that others were worrying about him, but he said that he was fine. Me? I was going, \"Are you gonna have a fever and collapse (like what he did in the anime<\/a> and manga) and then sleep on my shoulder?\" but he didn't. Aw, I wanted the scene where he was waking up<\/a> and then staring<\/a> before blushing<\/a> like a girl ooh, he has nice nails<\/s><\/small> at the sight of Hino\/me. T_T Come on shoujo game, you can make him faint and me worrying over him! I mean, in the second game, you can hurt your ankle (I swear they deliberately put it there XD cheesy and predictable, but makes you \"kyaaaaa\" anyway) and have Kaji rushing you to the nurse's office.

I guess due to experience playing the games now, I can carefully plan out how much time I should put aside for music practice, running around etc. So I was able to get the first-name calling and outing events even before the end of the 3rd Selection (the first two times I played for Tsukimori, I got them after the 4th Selection). Heck, I was able to fill up all the hearts (1000 points) even before the 3rd Selection. Because of the fast progress as well as being in the right place at the right time, I guess that's how I was able to unlock more events\/CGs.

See, remember the time I was complaining about my violin getting kaput-ed and while Hihara bothered to call, Tsukimori didn't? It was Fuyuumi who called that time. This time Tsukimori actually called. And he said all sorts of nice things and told me to cheer up (the text was in grey, not white, which signifies that it was more of a whisper. Whispers are in grey text) and I regret not taking pics of the conversation.

Also, there was one time where Tsukimori asks something about doing something together again and I was OKAY IF THIS MEANS ANOTHER DATE. Well, it wasn't really a date, but we walked back together and there's a conversation which I didn't come across the first two times I played. He asked me what kind of kid I was. Ahahaha funny lah.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Kaho, what kind of child were you when you were small?

The first option is an energetic but good kid (that's more suitable for Hihara, I think) so I picked the second one, which is just a good and obedient child. After that he talks about how he was a good\/quiet kid too and that he didn't really play with others (which attributes to his being a social retard methinks =_=;) or something like that I don't remember ahaha. Anyway, there I was, worrying whether I had picked the wrong option, when!

\"Photo<\/a>
SHOUTAAAAAAAAAA. He talks about how, once in 4th grade (which makes him around ten at that time?), he had hurt his fingers and was at a loss at what to do. I think it was in the anime too, the part where Tsukimori and Hino were alone in the classroom<\/a>. You know, the ep where he asks if she loves the violin and when she says she doesn't, he then asks her<\/a> why she's crying<\/a> when she said that, and her running away still crying at the end of the ep<\/a>. (The anime follows the manga for half the series, but after that it follows much of the game's stories after the 3rd Selection, since the manga is still on the 3rd Selection when the anime aired.) Anyway, I guess that's the reason why he was so worried about Hino\/me hurting my fingers when she\/I was about to touch the seashell in the beach scene.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> At that time, I was so afraid. Probably... that was the first time I was afraid ever since I was born, I think.

This kid grew up half his life without knowing fear?! At this point I wondered if one of his parents accidentally dropped him on his head when he was a baby. ._.

And remember the scene where we practised together? I got that scene again, which makes me all fluffy because I like his wistful smile, not the happy Hihara-type one. I wrote down the whole conversation lol.

@ music classroom, since he's there.
Tsukimori:<\/b> Uhm, I was wondering if you will let me listen to your practice? If you don't want to, then it's fine; you don't have to do it. It's just a selfish\/troublesome request. It's just that... I really wanted to listen to your practice... or that won't do?

After accepting his \"selfish request\"... (IDIOT I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU LULZ 8D Notice how I like making fun of him.)

Tsukimori:<\/b> If it's fine, let's go to a practice\/music room. There's a piano there.

@ practice\/music room
Tsukimori:<\/b> If it's not too much of a bother for you, I'll accompany you. (i.e. on the piano) Let me see your (score sheet?). Well, let's start.

And it's weird hearing Gavotte<\/i> being accompanied by a piano ahahaha. But ah, I think this is my favourite event out of the lot.

This was near the railway station.
\"Photo<\/a>
Finally there are a lot of music students crowded at this spot (including Tsukimori too!) so we could play together. It's really hard playing with four people, because the \"right people for the right song\" must be in the spot. X_X The violinists are me and Tsukimori, Fuyuumi's playing the clarinet, and two music students are playing the flute and cello.

Profile.
\"Photo<\/a>
This is the highest I'm getting for the skill\/rivalry points (the last time I played, I only had three of the lighting thingies), and I've already maxed out the rabu ones. Still hate that Hihara face. :X

A few days before the end of the final selection, I see him on the roof, so I decided to poke him. Aaaaand unlocked another CG. ♥ I'm making an effort to talk to him every single day<\/i> if you can't tell. XD So that I could unlock events and give him gifts etc. I remember giving a hankerchief (see contacts scene), a photo frame, something-set and one other thing I couldn't remember.<\/small>

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...Aah, it's a rather nice breeze.

While Tsukimori fans would probably go all \"KYAAAAAAA\" the first thing that came to my mind was, \"Oh god that is so gay.\" I don't know why. *shrugs*

Anyway lalala, Tsukimori wins the championship (I am so<\/i> not surprised at how this game cheats for the guys) and I got the confession video again. I swear it's easier to get Tsukimori's confession video than Hihara's (still unsuccessful after two plays! I'm playing for him again!) despite you know, being the \"central\" guy in the game.

The game\/anime\/manga is making me interested in musical instruments again. When I was 11, a classmate taught me how to play Fur Elise<\/i> on the piano, (I have since forgotten 8D except for the first few notes) so I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. Now I want to learn to play the violin too. =_= Or I could start out with a viola haha hi, Kaji.<\/small> Maybe I'll take up lessons in five years or something when I am working and can afford instruments and music fees, because they can be expensive here.<\/a>

And someone finally put up the ending vid for Tsukimori from the second game up on YouTube. I have that video on my HDD, but having it up on Youtube means that I can pimp it, so PIMP PIMP PIMP<\/a>. Song's sung by Tsukimori (Taniyama Kishou<\/b> ♥) too. I was loling at the uploader's comment. \"ICHIBAN SUKI NA KYARA SONGU! REN REN SUKI\" and I wanted to say that I love the song and it's my favourite too Fill My Heart<\/i> sooooo got thrashed by WITHOUT END<\/i> and FLAME<\/i><\/small> and go all \"WATASHI MO REN GA DAAAAAAISUKI\" or something. But my Japanese-fu is weak so I didn't dare. Anyway there's one thing I don't get about Tsukimori... why does he wear his watch on his right wrist if he's right-handed? Isn't that a little difficult? retard<\/s> I mean, it's not like he's Yami no Matsuei<\/b>'s Tsuzuki, who wears his watch on his right wrist to cover up his scars from when he tried to kill himself.

Speaking of songs, when will the Shinn-Lacus duet CD (somebody decided to make my dream come true omg) gonna be released? I remember it was sometime this month. *_____* And one and a half weeks to go before Tsukimori's single gets released too unf unf.

Also, isn't my LJ twin #1 so cute<\/a>? I have no idea why her entry isn't locked but *pimps the hawtness that is my sistah anyway stabbed<\/s>* I have two LJ twins so I shouldn't be a \"twin\" but whatevarrr. <\/a>lina_lau<\/b><\/a><\/span>'s twin #1 (I think she's the first person I suckered into converting from an AsuKira fan to an AsuShinn one) because she's only a few days older than me, while <\/a>ashesto<\/b><\/a><\/span>'s twin #2 because we were born on the same day but different years.

The crazy artistic purple one? Serious? JOY. Actually Aniki's message was, \"Did you know that Shinn Asuka will be the 4th Imajin?\" Speaking of Shinn... I don't get Haruhiism and I know most of you would've probably seen that Hare Hare Yukai dance in front of a train station in Akibahara, but there's something disturbing about having a Shinn doing the Hare Hare Yukai dance<\/a>. (But it's the appearance of Darth Vader that killed me deded.) They have a Kyon at the back, but I don't see a Koizumi woooe. And a Yuki with a donkey's head. If you want to compare, original one here<\/a> and... a Hard Gay (not the real Razor Ramen, though) version<\/a>.

All that playing of the La corda d'oro<\/b> game is taking a toll on me. A total of 5 hours of sleep in two days. I was 30 minutes late on one day and when I opened the door of the office, the Director of my department was about to open it. 8D;; Ah well, she herself turns up late like today<\/small> sometimes, no biggie. Anyway I did play Tsukimori again and got the best ending this time. Ah, his confession makes me all fluffy *teh lame* and I managed to unlock a couple more CGs\/events which I didn't get the first time I played. And after that I played Hihara for <\/a>summer88<\/b><\/a><\/span>, but I took over 70 pics (including gameplay, actually) so I'll split Hihara's into two posts.

So yeah, I played again. Because he's my favourite and I'm biased hur hur. I managed to be the victor of the 1st Selection this time!
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Congratulations on being the champion, Hino-san. You're the first. (<--- ? I thought it's odd if he's somewhat repeating himself)

He might be jealous 8D either way after the 1st Selection, I got rivalry points from him fufufu.

This was when he still wasn't too friendly with me, I think. I probably only had one heart filled.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> So you usually go at this time? I didn't realize it.

Well now you have.

Sometimes when you go back home, you'll bump into one of the guys. There'll be a text box \"*insert name here* is here. Go home with him\/her?\" I happen to see Tsukimori, so. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Eh... Ah... Aa, alright. If it's fine with you, then I don't mind either. Let's go.

*snerk* Guess someone<\/i>'s finally interested in me, heh.

Since I'm chasing after him, I'll have to perform and talk to him as often as possible. So one day I go off to disturb him and...
\"Photo<\/a>
You weren't supposed to know about my magical violin! (Well, in the anime and manga, no one knows about the magical violin\/fairies but in the game, apparently everyone does. In the second game it seems that they can't see the fairies though.) Anyway I got snarked at for using a magical violin and that \"it's the violin's power, not your own strength, so I cannot accept that\" blah blah. Stfu bitch, wait till you fall madly in lurve with me. XD Oddly enough, when I poked him another day, he told me not to take everything he said to heart and not to think so much about it or something (I don't remember, but it went along those lines). Awwww. See this is why I love them tsundere<\/i> types.

\"Photo<\/a>
I don't remember when or how this happened. 8D;;

This was when he asked if he could go home with me everyday.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> If it's fine with you... would you like to go home together from now on?

Anyway if you accept, he'll show you his scary Hihara face. >_>;

Stopping by a playground~
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> The general education students' and music students' curriculums are different.

What does the curriculum really have to do with this? O_o? I mean yeah, I'm a gen-ed\/regular student while he's a music student but so...? Maybe it's an attempt at small talk lol.<\/small>

Relationship chart\/pyramid of some sort.
\"Photo<\/a>
Check out who's riiiiiight at the top.

His profile: (I want to complete my Fafner <\/a>iconfiend100<\/b><\/a><\/span> claim soon so I can claim Tsukimori on his birthday!)
\"Photo<\/a>
Check out the hearts, nfufufufu. Each of them has two songs they like, so he likes the something-teki na Waltz (Version B). Haven't figured out the other one. Tsuchiura likes the same song, but Version A.

One day, he was being very, very sweet I could've melted or something<\/small>. (Now I understand why those who've played said that he's almost a different person when in lurrrrve) I was doing my usual round of running around school finding fairies\/performing-slash-looking for him in the process when I found him in the entrance. After talking to him, he asked if we could practise together awww. So we went into an empty music room and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Naughty things! I wish *stabbed*<\/s> He plays the piano as my accompanist as I practise. Somebody's being very nice, isn't he? XD I was miffed at the blurry pic but I was looking through my folders and found a CG of this so meh.

Profile again:
\"Photo<\/a>
It's his Hihara face arrrrrrgh. I hate \"Len\" so I'm sticking to \"Tsukimori Ren\". I'm just picky with Kanji names. English is supposed to be his favourite subject or something (that's why his song Fill my heart<\/i> is ridiculously peppered with English + part-Engrish) so I don't know why he wants to call himself \"Len\" when he should know that there's no \"L\" in the Japanese language and the Hiragana for his given name is Ren. Ayli and I agree that \"Len\" reminds us too much of \"Lent\". XD<\/small> But I'm not that anal about this since I always call the characters by their family names anyway.

Anyway, the \"plz let me call you by ur first name .\/\/\/.\" scene.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Ah... uhm...

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> No... actually... there's something...

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> That is... There's something I'd like to ask.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> If you're alright with it, can I... call you Kahoko?

The first time I played, I accepted and let him call me Kahoko (see the yellow tag?). This time, I picked the second option, which is to call me by my pet name \"Kaho\". Basically I'm playing as Hino Kahoko, Kahoko being my first name, and \"Kaho\" the pet\/\"ai\/koi\" name, making it more intimate or something haha corny<\/s>.

Before the Last Selection. I opened up the full dialogue\/message box.
\"Photo<\/a>
Long story short, he asks what's the matter, and then apologises because while he'd like to listen\/talk, sensei (darn you Kanazawa) is calling for him, so we'll talk later blah blah.

So, the results of the concours.
\"Photo<\/a>
Overall winner is Tsukimori, while I'm the second. I swear, if you do really well for your first two selections, you can never do well in your last one. I mean seriously, I picked a song when I have full points for, with the required keywords and well as two skill thingies but I still placed last in the Last Selection. Tsukimori, you cheater, just because you're in love with me and vice versa, the game makes it that no matter which guy (or girl D:) you picked, he\/she will win overall (thus pushing you to the lower ranks) so he\/she will go for the stupid interview with Amou in the ending before the person runs off to find you. I should've gotten first in the Last Selection!

So the interview thing with Amou\/ending credits, and~
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I'm sorry, but this is enough. There's a place where I have to go to.
Anyway <\/a>xaevyn<\/b><\/a><\/span>, the whole interview is here<\/a>. (For the first cap, the last word \"omottara\" got cut off D:)

\"Photo<\/a>
The flight of stairs he runs up haha.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Kaho...
This is him opening the door. He looks... nice here. >_> Conversation on the roof here<\/a>, but a bit of it is in the previous post.

\"Photo<\/a>
Happy picture. The end. No wait, because there's the confession, I got the best ending! It's the same one as this one here<\/a>. I want to see the Corda 2 PS2 ending (not the song version) though. I heard that even the best ending is sad. In the second game, he decides to pursue his music studies in Vienna, so it somewhat ends with him saying that that should you continue studying too, he's hoping you'd go to Vienna and that he'll wait for you there. So it's kind of a bittersweet ending. If you have seen the PV<\/a>, (KAJIIIIII) he says, \"Did I lose you in exchange for music?\" at the end. T_T Anyway that's why the fangirls are making fun of him being a computer\/technology retard, because sheesh Tsukimori, even if you're in Vienna there are things called THE INTERNET and e-mail, phone calls etc. Instead he'll be waiting lol. His retardness makes me love him more, for some reason. XD

I wish there's a translation for Happy Time because I love Tsukimori's first singing line, \"tsukareteru nara murishinai hou ga ii\" (If you're tired, you don't have to push yourself) aw, it's like, his hidden soft side.

I was also watching Corda seiyuu vids and I kept watching this Yunoki-Hihara scene<\/a> too. I don't get the \"kappa\" part though. I think it means water imp, but doesn't really fit in the conversation, because Hihara\/Mogita<\/s>Morita said, \"I didn't bring\/don't have a kappa, neither do I have an umbrella... or a car...\" My fave parts were Yunoki turning black and stumbling over his words and the \"Tada... tada... tadaima!\" The Tsukimori-Shimizu one<\/a> was less funny, but I like the \"So it's about learning about your enemies\/rivals just for the concours?!\" \"Saa... I don't know.\" \"...I don't know either.\" part XD)<\/a>

Aaaand Hihara. Hah I made a quickie Hihara\/Hino icon just for this post.

Hihara was fun to play with because... he's just so freaking nice. >_>; He's like Tsukimori turned upside down, maybe. But it's also hard to play because everytime I see Tsukimori on the screen, I get this urge to talk to him... be happy, <\/a>summer88<\/b><\/a><\/span>! I'm sacrificing my 3rd chase for Tsukimori for a first chase for Hihara!

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, Hino-chan! I was just thinking about you.

Oh reeeeeally.

After the 1st Selection. I think I was the winner.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ne, let's walk back together? I've got a little something I want to talk about.

First name-calling scene.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Can I call you Kahoko-chan?

OMG you're so fast, Hihara! He's asking this only a few days after the 1st Selection has ended, but Tsukimori only asked this a few days before the LAST Selection. I guess it's because of Hihara's friendly nature.

The going-home option thing.
\"Photo<\/a>
Text box:<\/b> Hihara is here. Go home with him?

I said ok, and he's fine with it. (Sometimes you'll be unsuccessful because he wants to go out with a friend or something.)

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Yeah, ja, let's go back together.

WHY CAN'T YOU BE A LITTLE NICER TSUKIMORI D:

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> See you, bye bye, Kahoko-chan.

His \"bai bai\" is so cute because it's in Hiragana and not Katakana.

After performing in front of him (read: trying to catch his attention).
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Well done, Kahoko-chan! That was a great performance!

I bump into him one day 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ne, let's go together. Okay~?

One another day, on the way to school...
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> I never thought I'd meet you at this time.

Uh, magical memory recall! You did meet me the last time. Previous screencap, check?

I played during lunchtime at work and somehow I unlocked an event where we sat on the swings at the playground.
\"Photo<\/a>
I went back to the CG gallery to take his haha.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ne, have you ever thought of calling me Kazuki-senpai? (Kill me if I got this wrong haha I'm not very good at long sentences)

HE'S MAKING HIS MOVE :O And he's a senpai yeah, since he's a year older whereas Tsukimori's of the same age as me. There's a lot of convos where he keeps saying he should be nice to his kouhai\/me, he wants to know more about me, wants to be more than friends (but not rabu-rabu yet) etc. Why are you so nice, Hihara? T^Tb! There's also a scene when I was playing at work, where he asked me if \"kouhai needs help\" but when I asked him to help me out, he said he's not too good with a violin (realize it sooner, gee) since he plays the trumpet so he said he'll look up on it. Pfft.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Gomen gomen, I guess you're scared because I've suddenly said something weird.

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> To be honest, actually I just wanted to call you Kaho-chan.

I said okay. :D (Kaho's the \"ai\" name, remember.)

\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Eh?! N-no... b-but... that's...

In the end he acted weird and still wound up calling me Kahoko-chan. Guess he was too uncomfortable.

Gameplay.
\"Photo<\/a>
I was playing a piece and I suck AND Tsukimori clearly thought so too. XD;; The music students there are somewhat okay with it. Told you the guys in the concours are extremely picky.

More people!
\"Photo<\/a>
The words at the side are the keywords. At the beginning of each selection, Kanazawa-sensei will give you a whole list of keywords (kinda like the theme for the selections) so you must pick a song which contain the keywords. For example, if one of the keywords for the selection is \"goal\" you must find a song with \"goal\" and practise on it. The keywords are in orange boxes, so it's pretty easy.

Relationship chart thing.
\"Photo<\/a>
It's more evenly spaced-out than Tsukimori's XD;;

Speaking of Tsukimori, I was running around trying to find Hihara when I spotted him on the roof reading a book hah.
\"Photo<\/a>
He's so studious. And the Tsukimori fangirl in me was itching to talk to him and I couldn't resist...

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Ah, it's you. I didn't notice that you came here. Sorry, I was reading a book.

I can see that. :P

And then my violin went kaput lol. Hihara was nice enough to call me. Tsukimori didn't bother when I was chasing after him (I got Fuyuumi instead). Took only one pic, but I'll translate the rest.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> *presumably talking to my parents\/siblings* I'm Hihara from Hino-san's school... Uhm, may I speak to her? (Actually it was \"where's Hino-san\" but that sounds rude) *to me* Ne, Kahoko, are you alright? Do you feel bad anywhere? Because I'm very worried about you, so... I'm concerned. I may not be able to do anything but if you have anything you want to talk about, I'll listen, so... Please cheer up. ...That's all I wanted to say.

I wish Tsukimori is this nice sometimes. D:

Poking him again on another day.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, that's right! Oh crap... I've forgotten!

He asks me what day is it...
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Ah, thank goodness~ The day we promised was tomorrow. Aaaaah that was close.

Apparently he promised his brother and friends to play basketball on a certain day. And then he talks about how he loves sports etc.

Going home.
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Been waiting~ let's go, Kahoko.

\"Photo<\/a>
Playing a piece (Yume no ato ni) with Yunoki and a random music student.

Yunoki! I wonder how he and Hihara get along so well.
\"Photo<\/a>
Yunoki:<\/b> Aa, have to go soon. Let's make this a good Selection. Well then, later. :)

List of performers and pieces.
\"Photo<\/a>
Apparently Tsukimori chose to play the same music piece as me guh. Notice how I'm skipping everyone's performance except for mine and Tsukimori's XD

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori came first! *shakes fist*

Relationship chart.
\"Photo<\/a>
The right side is more on love and the left is for rivals.

Saving the game.
\"Photo<\/a>
See the circle thing? Green is elegance, blue is sadness, and pink is cheerfulness. Each piece you play comes with some points for these. For example, if you play Ave Maria, you'll get more Sadness and Elegance points and if you play Gavotte (which has a happy theme), you'll get a lot of Cheerfulness. Right now Hihara likes me (since he's walking towards me) but I'm mildly interested in him since I'm standing still but facing him. Tsukimori's a little interested in me since he's facing me and I like talking to him. >_>;

\"Photo<\/a>
For my Tsukimori game. 3.45am in the morning haha I play at crazy hours. Tsuchiura's interested in me because I have a lot of Sadness points (I think he's the one who likes Sadness) but sorry, Tsukimori and I are walking towards each other. XD

Dream scene.
\"Photo<\/a>
Apparenly I had a dream about the time Hihara couldn't help me because he doesn't know much about violins.

Going to school again~
\"Photo<\/a>
Hihara:<\/b> Good morning, Kahoko. I thought I wouldn't be able to meet you today. I've just made it.

I'll end here (NEED SLEEP) so uh, whatever grammar mistakes I bet there's plenty<\/small> and typos will be corrected tomorrow heh.<\/a>

Speaking of Corda, the anime finally ended uuu. For some reason, I teared up when Hino was playing Ave Maria. I have no idea why, I was just watching her and listening to the song and then my eyes just teared up. Maybe the song was that good? I think the Ave Maria is pretty sad-sounding anyway (and when you keep on playing the piece in the game, you'll get lots of points for Elegance + Sadness). And I like Tsukimori's performance... er, 24 Capris<\/i>-something? I was wondering why the start of the piece sounded familiar and realized that the tune was used in the violin part of my fave Tsukimori song, Fill my Heart<\/i>. Unf. Heck, I have put this song up like three times, but I'm putting it up again. 8D He's the best singer out of all the guys anyway even Backup thinks so and she doesn't even watch the series<\/small>.

Tsukimori Ren [Len] (Taniyama Kishou) - Fill My Heart<\/a>

And yes, he's trying to sing in English here and there at the start as well as the chorus. But my fave part of the song is really the violin part around 3:27. Hm, I don't have his song Flame<\/a>. More English lol. The violin part in the song is also pretty. Which album is it in? And guh, who has GRANRODEO's Infinite Love PV and song? I-It has Taniyama and that's all I care about 8D<\/small>

I didn't know it would take so long, because I thought, how hard would it be to date people? I never thought about the concours and that practice would take so long etc FAIL.<\/small>

But at least it was a success!
\"Photo<\/a>
SCOOOOOOOOOOOOORE IT'S TSUKIMORI 8D Dunno whether it's a normal or the best ending.
[Edit]<\/b> It's the normal one because I got a better one after my second try.<\/small><\/center>

Yeah, picture is horrible because I had to switch off the flash function. I wish I could screencap in PSP or something and then transfer the images in the memory card to my laptop. Anyway this post is for <\/a>xaevyn<\/b><\/a><\/span> (and any Corda\/Tsukimori fans on my flist but there are oh-so-few) to fangirl over the Tsundere Prince-slash-Computer\/Technology Retard.

I'm gonna cut a lot of the crap about the intro. Basically there are Lili and Amou (and your two friends talking about the Violin Romance orz) for the intro. After the long talk, you'll have to find fairies (you'll get EXP when you hunt for them) in order to unlock all the music pieces, and then find another type of fairies so that you can play the pieces. Then you have to perform in front of people to earn Bravo Points AKA BP AKA MONIES<\/b>. Best if you start playing the pieces around regular students, because they'll give you BP no matter how shitty your performance is I cringed at the bad parts<\/small> half the time, which is better than the music students, because they are really stingy. When you're better, you can perform in front of the music students to get BP, but they're really picky and would usually give you lesser BP than the regular students. And the guys in the concours + Kanazawa-sensei + Ousaki are even more picky. >_>

Then of course there's the concours: the 4 selections. For some reason I managed to whip Tsukimori's ass well, even Hihara did<\/small> in the 1st Selection and placed higher than him despite my button-mashing. Maybe I just picked the right song. <--- is still very clueless about the keywords for the themes for each of the selections

Anyway, stuff which happened before the 1st Selection include Tsuchiura (you'll need to talk to him though) suddenly being able to see and hear Lili and thus getting dragged into the concours as well no thanks to me and\/or Lili XD<\/small> and the notebook part which is in the anime and manga. I didn't take any pics of the 1st Selection, because I was a newbie and running around and talking to Hihara instead of Tsukimori. Tsukimori had a :\/ face every single time I try to talk to him...<\/a>

Anyway, pics. (Mostly same ones) Riiight after the first selection. <\/a>xaevyn<\/b><\/a><\/span>, this was the part I was squealing about to you yesterday. *_* I used the default name, Hino Kahoko btw.

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> If it's fine with you, let's walk back together along the way? I have something I want to talk about to you.
Me:<\/b> *immediately explodes<\/s> spams Ayli*

One day, I decided to poke him at school.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Aa, Hino. If it's fine with you, let's go back together today?

The three options were accept, decline or run away<\/s> hesitate GO SIMILAR-LOOKING KANJI D:. No prizes for guessing which one I picked hahaha.

So we walk back...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Well then, till here. Goodbye, Hino. Take care. :\/ <--- oi, oi
And yeah, he dumped me at this junction (presumably going separate ways). But at least I got to walk back with him, yeay.

The next day (or maybe a few days later, who knows), I bump into him. 8D
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Aa, Hino. Good morning.

And then we walk to school together, woo.

Guess he's already starting to like me or something, because he asks if we could go home together again. Nfufufu.
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Hino, would you like to go back together? That is, if you're fine with it.

Uh, same three options. (I'm playing again, should I try declining to see his reaction?)

And when I accepted...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Thanks. Well, let's go, then.

I love that shy look. *_* But he sure likes running his hand through his hair. He does that a lot. head lice maybe *stabbed*<\/s>

\"Photo<\/a>
Uh, I forgot if this was before or after one of the selections. He was talking about the performance anyway.

One day he was being mean. Well, I didn't really understand a lot of the stuff sprouting from his mouth, but he talked for some time and had his :\/ face and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I'm sorry. I apologize for my rudeness. See you then.

After some time, he will ask if it's okay to go home together everyday and if you pick yes (who the hell wouldn't D:) he will then wait for you at the gates after school. Good, less pressing of the circle button. And when he likes you a loooooooot...
\"Photo<\/a>
He accompanies you right to your doorstep still with the :\/ face<\/s>. I got rid of the text box here.

And this is his Hihara face:
\"Photo<\/a>
>_>; It's mildly disturbing.
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...Thanks. See you.

I forgot what happened before that, but I had probably said something nice to him or agreed to something which pleases him. *coughs*

And now only does he accompany you back home, he meets up with you at the junction before school so you can walk to school together. *_*
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Because you were earlier than usual today, I thought I wouldn't be able to meet you. ...Let's go.

...What are you, my stalker? At least he's less stalker-ish than Kaji the Hino fanboy haha.

On one fine morning, he decided to be nice. :D
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Good morning, Hino.

And then he had another lengthy conversation in a park or someplace in school (Taniyama, I love your voice as Tsukimori, but I skipped through all the dialogue because it was already past 2am and I need to sleep<\/i>) which I button-mashed my way through. From what I remember, he was talking about something a classmate mentioned to him and all of a sudden, he kinda asked me out (he was embarrassed XD). HELL YES I SAID OKAY.

So uhm. The day out (on a Saturday~).

Tsukimori:<\/b> Is there a place you would like to go to? If it's fine... would you like to go to the sea? (A direct translation is \"look at the sea\"... I read that he likes the colour blue?)

\"Photo<\/a>
IT'S THE SEASHELL SCENE FROM LAST WEEK'S EP<\/a>. You know, where Hino (the main character in the anime\/me\/whatever) sees a pink shell and tries to touch it but he stops her because she might hurt her fingers and she's a violinist and that she should take care of her fingers because they're important\/\"it's because music is born with these fingers\" blah blah blah...

One day, he asks me if he could call me by my first name. You know how in Japan, people would address one another by their family names unless they're reeeeeally close right? Anyway I said OKAY lol.

Tsukimori:<\/b> Kahoko... It's a nice name. I like it a lot. *HIHARA FACE*

The last selection, where I had to perform before him.
\"Photo<\/a>
LOOK IT'S ME. He likes that dress, flower thingy for the hair and earrings so I wore them of course. I'm guessing that in your performance for every selection, the guy who's most enchanted by you (lol cheeeeesy) would appear. For the first two, it was Shimizu wtf. Probably because for the 1st Selection, I forgot to buy a dress and had to perform in uniform (I had the flower hair accessory thing + earrings though) and he happened to like that combination. I think. I don't remember. He has a uniform fetish, though.<\/small> For the second one, I think it's because my skills were high, so if you want to chase after him, you'll have to make sure that your skill level is high. Tsukimori wants an all-rounded thingy (long story), which was easy. From what I heard Yunoki wants lots of BP (AKA MONIES, remember). As for the 3rd Selection, I skipped it so I don't know who has the hots for me haha.

Tsukimori's performance.

Another view.

End of the game lalala. Because I was clueless about the keywords thing, my performances pretty much sucked so that's why Tsukimori's rivalry points for me are so low. XD But I managed to bag the dude anyway. He won the concours overall, so while the credits appear, Amou interviews him, but then he brushes her off because he had something important to do. (Actually before the performance, he did say he was gonna talk to me after the concours 8D) Then he ruuuuuuuuuuuns all the way up to the roof where I was apparently playing a music piece (the music stops when he opens the door) aaaaand...

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> ...That is... I want to know what you think of me.

WHY WHY WHY ISN'T THERE A \"MOCHIRON DAAAAAAAISUKI CHOU RABU-RABU etc etc\" and all that crap kind of options? D:

\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> I... uh... (A direct translation would be \"I... you... that is... :X\")

SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME ALREADY YOU IDIOT. [\/button mash] I love Taniyama's voice in this scene. His uncomfortable \"Sono...\" was very convincing.

And then the Tsundere Prince hides his embarrassment by talking about music (WTF! WTF! Ah well, he was more cheesy in the second game which I need T_T alas, no PS2 console<\/small>) and...
\"Photo<\/a>
Tsukimori:<\/b> Please... (more like, \"I beg of you\" but that sounds strange on him) would you let me listen (to your music) once again?

And yada yada happy ending. I wish there was a kissu option. I hope for too much lol. Now I'm waiting for his single next month, because it has Tsuki no Kakera<\/a> and yes, that's his seiyuu\/Taniyama singing as Tsukimori.

If you love dating Sims games, try it out. Beats Meine Liebe<\/b> anytime. Besides, Meine Liebe<\/b> is on the GBA and there's no voice-acting, which sucks because it had a pretty stellar cast in the anime. I'm playing Tsukimori again (currently halfway through the first selection, and then I'll play Hihara and maybe Yunoki after that, because <\/a>teletha<\/b><\/a><\/span> loves him.<\/a>

Public post for some time, in case some Tsukimori fan out there happen to pass by hur hur.

Nothing interesting at work. I mentioned that I was an intern there last year and one thing never changed: I'm still afraid of the door handle. Ugh. I didn't realize it either until I wanted to go to the loo (on my first day of work, of course) and I tapped the door handle with one finger before opening the door. I was \"...What did I do that for?\" when I was walking. I can't believe the instinct to tap the handle first is still there! See, last year the door handle would always somewhat<\/small> electrocute me, Xin Yi and another intern. There were times when we just touch the door handle and then there's a bzzzzzt sound of the static and we'll just go OWWWWW. It doesn't electrocute me now except sometime later last week. But anyway I still tap the door handle first... it's kind of a habit already guh.

Also someone farted on the train on my way home. Public enemy, silent killer. D:","comments":"https:\/\/aestalitz.livejournal.com\/224183.html?view=comments#comments","category":["corda - tsukimori","games: kiniro no corda","dating game lol","la corda d'oro"]}]}}
