I just added TOSHIYA TSUNODA to my Reader OPML. Feed subscribing seems such an easy process now days. I even have a few twitter feeds in Reader, solely dealing with Japanese music. So long as one knows what they are following, it’s without a doubt the lightest and most versatile way to get an open view of nearly any content one may enjoy.
No strings attached.

To quote 53RG10:
watched Kiddy Girl-and (episode 6)
This anime is made of so much win! The best anime no one is watching~
I do agree. I’ll probably give it a proper Autumn entry, but seriously, this is Good Times.

Glancing the forecast, I think I’ll be putting off the Nodame for a few weeks. The weather isn’t cool enough, unfortunately. Also nearing fast is December, so it’s probably better that way. Still… I want my oranges, tea, flokati, and kotatsu in cold weather.
Come Cold Days!

Unfamiliar with Ryuichi Sakamoto, I decided to have a go at his 2009 compilation album, Playing the Piano, this past month. Amusingly, I find it fitting for this season and cooler weather in general. At times I am reminded of Charlie Brown, but it is merely light layer of reminiscence.
A calm, composed, and warming mix of pieces, some which irreversibly affect the heart. Thoughts of sharing scarfs in the snow and the stillness of a warm smile in the cold Northern air, this is a softness I enjoy.
It is a casual enjoyment, but I am quite fond of Put Your Hands Up, Bolerish, and Self Portrait.
(I am not fond of Composition 0919)

I was kinda randomly looking through uT RSS feeds when I saw this thing with a really long title… it was released by BSS, so I thought hey, that’s cool. Turns out it’s a clip from the Minami-ke radio show, where Minori Chihara is ordering out as Chiaki.
Have a listen and a smile.
Also, I’d really like to know what that strange breathing noise was.

Just now in #ab, anya mentions…
<anya> I kind of hate the fact that the blogosphere moved to twitter
<anya> since I am lame at using it
Seems equivalent of the blogosphere moving to say… LiveJournal. If someone can argue how it’s any different, kudos. Personally, I don’t like it either (I also don’t like the concept of the microblog on melative), but the main thing I don’t like is that it’s a shift from an open community (blogs) to a closed one (twitter).
If someone can argue how twitter (or FaceWall or Myscrap) is not closed… kudos.
