Kenzan ends with Kiryu taking on the entire navy.

On foot.

With two (2) swords.

when i was really deep into hxh, i wasn’t deep in seiyuu at all, so stuff completely flew over my head.

i’m looking at the behind the voice actors page now, and i

so, like, i knew the main four alright. God knows Keiji Fujiwara is still one of my fav VA, Miyuki Sawashiro was one of the reasons i got into gbf, Megumi Han will always be remembered to me as she played Alma in dgmh and that matters too much for me, and Mariya Ise playing one of the coolest chara in granblue... all of that, i know... all makes sense.

I remembered vaguely Mamoru Miyano voiced Chrollo because, of course, Miyano only appears to spite me.

I didn’t know before looking that Queen Romi Park voiced Pakunoda and that’s a crime on my part for not recognizing her

but now onto those i’m just??

i. i listen to you rap. everyday. 

Why did no one tell me Mister Kiryu Yakuza was in hxh, i feel like this would be an important thing to bring up.

And from tHERE i can go “omg wait he’s in hypmic” on my own and not have to be jumpscared like THIS

actually i want to die this was a bad idea i’m never checking seiyuu ever again this is the worst betrayal there is DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT

I finished Yakuza 6 yesterday, and now I have some thoughts about its OST:

(MAJOR YAKUZA 6 SPOILERS and one small Yakuza 7 spoiler)

- The epic battle themes are great, but the softer, calmer themes (Snack “Kiyomi”, Arrived in Onomichi, Clumsy Blues, etc) really stand out and are absolutely worth a second listen.

- I loved the varied fight themes for the various factions. Not only does it keep them from getting old, but it makes it easier for me to include them in my d&d campaign.

- Brother, Brother is a great opening fight theme to reel in the newcomers, and Nagumo absolutely deserved this banger.

- Whoever named the normal battle themes (Kamuro Again, Town Bully) deserves a raise. Kiryu is just done with Kamurocho by this point, as he should be.

- Akiyama 100% deserved a less generic-sounding boss theme - I would have preferred a reprise of one of his themes from 4 or 5. Through isn’t bad, though.

- I have a soft spot for a good long battle theme, and Yakuza 6 absolutely delivers in that regard. Rushin’ and Lots of Lights are some of my favorite long battle themes of the series.

- Bloodstained Philosophy is not only a great name for a boss theme, but serves as a great theme for a recurring boss like Someya. Someya deserved better.

- I am a Joon Gi-Han fanboy. Oh, and Theory of Beauty is pretty good. It would have been cool to see a different final battle theme like they had for Someya (Destiny) or even Kuze in Yakuza 0 (Oath of Enma), but I have no complaints about more Theory of Beauty. At least he’ll get a new theme in Yakuza 7, right…?

- No comment on the creepy dude in bondage in the basement of an abandoned brothel, but his theme is fittingly creepy.

- No idea why they had to bring the French into this, but Qui Garde Un Secret est très bien. Au revoir, Kazama 2 Hirose.

- I was a bit disappointed when I didn’t see Sugai at the top of the tower, but any complaints I had evaporated as soon as Destiny kicked in. Proof of Love is a good song to cry your eyes out to right after. Did I say that Someya deserved better yet? Because Someya deserved better.

- I feel like there should have been more of a buildup to the real final battle, but Body and Soul for the Koshimizu fight certainly pumped me up.

- The Way of Life isn’t the best Yakuza final boss theme, but it’s definitely up there. Also, where was Akiyama during the final fight? All of the Hirose boys were there, but no Akiyama?

- The substory themes are fun. Dirty Boy deserved to be used in more fights.

- I’m still in disbelief that they brought Sodachi and Saigo, but they certainly got good music for their returns.

- Sandlot Baseball is such a great theme for such a mediocre minigame. Yakuza baseball just isn’t the same without Shinada…

- On the contrary, Baby Sign is a perfect theme for the perfect minigame. More Haruto on my screen, please.

- Yakuza continues the pattern of using the best themes in optional minigames with the fishing and clan creator minigames for whatever reason. Never change, Yakuza. Never change.

- Today is a Diamond is the best Yakuza Karaoke song since Machine Gun Kiss.

- Like a Butterfly is pretty good and - no way, Kiryu rapping?!?!?!?!?!?

- OH MY GOD THEY BROUGHT TONIGHT BACK WHY IS NISHIKI ON MY SCREEN AGAIN I’M GONNA CRY

Like a Dragon: Ishin is next for me, wish me luck!

uhhhh mr. zero detco and also kiryu!!

THANK U BRO ILY (nyet het :])

Zero!!!!:

serious hc: his vision is not... great, and he wears contacts but switches to glasses post-cannon. also king of being gay, trans of gender, and autistic :]

silly hc: manlet zero is so ridiculously funny to me svdhdgsvs he's not even super short but all his friends are super tall in comparison

sad hc: he refused to play his guitar and had a v hard time cooking for himself for a couple years after hiro's death. it's easier now, but the wound re-opened a little after the recording studio case

fuck cannon: he either leaves or is removed from his job and opens up a detective agency with akai (also he moves in with hiro and they get married after about a year :] )

Kiryu my dad Kiryu:

serious hc: bi and trans!!! autistic kiryu is also a VERY good hc i like it a lot. his cooking is very good too :]

silly hc: sincerely thinks that his rapping and shades in like a butterfly make him incredibly cool. haruka is mildly embarrassed whenever he sings it but also finds it very endearing in a "god my dad's a fucking DORK" way

sad hc: the nightmares from the events of y1 never really go away, and get a lot worse for a while after y6 when he's on his own

fuck cannon: dvnfhss v similar to urs bro... he is just simply happy with his family in Okinawa :] also he's a v good grandpa to haruto and spoils him a LOT (but refuses to admit that he does)

BTOB [TIME] 2017 Concert Report (Hong Kong)

Hello ya'll! So I've went to BTOB's concert yesterday (14th of July) and it was super awesome!! Even though the venue was really big, the seats weren't all filled (and there was a section across me where it was completely empty ;;) But thank god it didn't look like a black ocean (or else I would've seriously be sad (I was so worried, gosh)). Since the concert "starts" (always late -__-) at 8:00, I decided that I would get there around 5:30.

You could preorder lightsticks so I paid beforehand so I could get it on the day (on the merch table). For some reason, the merch table opened at 5 (it was kinda late), and the VIP ticket holders had to start lining up to have their 'mini fanmeeting' with BTOB prior to the concert (for like 20mins only?? XD).

After I got the ticket, it was lowkey boring since I was alone (waiting for my mom again ahem) and so all I did for the next hour was stand around... (there were so little people after the VIP people were let in because a lot of them were VIP ticket holders). So at around 6:50 (yes it was really painful waiting for my mom ;;), my mom finally arrived and we got some food in this small cafe inside the venue (the food wasn't that good tbh).

At around 7:15 we decided to go through security check (because SHINee's one took forever?!). But it was actually really fast (and this time, they didn't even take out my stuff), but they did have a metal detector... (and they would give you a wristband once you pass (I guess it's for security measures...)). I got in at 7:20 (LOL) and found my seat ;v; this time, I decided to sit in block 4 (which is the sides) (when I got the tickets a few months back) and I was kinda at like in the middle-ish bottom.

There were so little people at the venue I started getting worried (and it was 10mins before the concert started). Then right before the concert started, a shit ton of people came in (in crowds) and they didn't have lightsticks so it was sTraNge (and it felt like they were paid to get in or something because the venue was kinda empty).

So at around 8:10, the lights dimmed, and everyone turned on their lightsticks... it's time for BTOB to shine!! They started with a song (that I don't know the name of (I'm so sorry orz)), but it was really cool hahaha, this time, I actually warmed up way faster than I previously did (than SHINee) and started screaming way louder after this song ended XD

And then it was I'll Be Your Man!! It was sO gOOD (kms bc Hyunsik's vocals ARE SO oN poiNT I CAN'T (and he's also my bias so it's like additional points)). Hyunsik always sings the higher notes / sustained parts (??) / the climax part of the song so it was really great being able to hear them sing in real life ;v;

Eunkwang, and Changsub, as usual, rocked too in vocals!! Then Ilhoon was like KILLING it (along with Minhyuk and Peniel). Sungjae was surprisingly good with his vocals (I think he improved (I'm so proud of my bby ;;)). So after I'll Be Your Man (this song is my jam;;), it was Thriller! (Flashbacks to weekly idol when they were saying how their dance in the intro looked like they were washing clothes haha). The chorus is like KMS ITS SO GOOD.

After that, they had their opening speech, (featuring Sungjae's broken english). Most of them spoke English (except Hyunsik (who spoke Korean) and also Changsub). Peniel spoke first and omg he's so cute ;; Then Minhyuk introduced himself and said "I'M YOURS" (like wOA WOA WOA OK. I THOUGHT IM YOURS BUT IF YOU'RE MINE THAT WORKS TOO (jkjk)). He's such a bias wrecker lmao, and Changsub scrunched up his face purposefully when he heard Minhyuk saying that (and cringed haha (like same)).

Oh yeah, and Peniel kept asking us, "was it fun?" (he was expecting "YESS!" or something like that) but in exchange, he received screams hahaha, so he was like, "I want an answer, not (imitates girly screaming)" LMAO. So when he asked, (for some reason), I was going to say yes, but I ended up saying it too early (that the whole venue was quiet) ;; (and I was really loud too omg hahaha)

Then after that, cue to a messed up setlist. They also sang Someday, Second Confession, Wow, Peniel's new song (solo), Hyunsik solo (he sang a Mandarin song), Sungjae solo (Goblin OST??), then Ilhoon, Peniel and Minhyuk did a collab (insert song name lol), The Movie, Beep Beep Boop Boop (this was the third song on the setlist). I probably would know more if I listen to their songs again (but I'm so tired right now because I arrived home at 12am and I only got 8 hours of sleep;; (bc I went to bed at 1am)).

Memorable parts of the concert: During one of the MC moments, Ilhoon was like "you guys are hot" (I was legit like, "woa wOA woAAH WhAT?") until he said like hot as in the sweating kind of hot (lowkey disappointed (JKJK)). After Sungjae's solo, since he was wearing this long coat (bc Goblin lmao), Eunkwang said he really wanted to try the coat (and the members said, "It'll probably touch the ground if you wear it" (LMAO)).

So when he did, it reached his ankles haha. They also told him to reenact to one of the scenes and it was really cute and funny. Oh yeah, and at some point, Eunkwang showed his abs to the audience (OMG hahahah) and apparently "Someone had left their abs in Korea" (BTOB members look towards Minhyuk). Eunkwang only showed his abs for 2 seconds and Sungjae said "it looks like white chocolate' LOL.

I don't remember which part of the MC, but Sungjae wanted to say how we're a really cool crowd or something, but then he was like "you guys are so tasty" in English LMAO. The moment Peniel heard him, he was like wtf bruhhhh X"D and he tried to correct Sungjae (poor Peniel lololol). BTOB is so good at making their fans laugh bc legit the members were like "see? naturally, we only have 4 members left" (when Peniel legit just walked out of the stage) so everyone laughed hahaha.

Minhyuk is also such a bias wrecker? I didn’t really see why he was so popular in the beginning (im sorry), but after seeing him rap, I’m like fucking in love (kill me pls). He also kept shooting finger(?) hearts to everyone so /dies/. When the backdrop had them

I love them so much ;;v;;

The fans also prepared some rose lightsticks but guess what? ONLY MY SIDE OF THE SEATS DIDN'T GET THEM :DDDD /salt/ and the members took a few of them away (lmao) bc they "were really pretty". The fans also prepared some slogans but they didn't sing the songs (that were for the slogan), but in the end Ilhoon took them up and made this impressed face hahaha (idk why but he always reminds me of an old man?? X"D)

As an overall, it was really great and in no time, the concert came into an end ;v; it was really fun and really worth it. I feel so satisfied and happy after watching them perform and so I hope to see them again!! ;v;

Not related to Kpop shit: (it's all vkei ;v;)

(but after seeing Codomo's photos in Korea, I feel really jealous ;v; and also Pentagon performing in A-Kon (like "guys, you have fans in HK too" loLOLOL)). Not related to Kpop, but when Morrigan's Ayu kept on hinting that they're going to have an European tour on IG, I got really salty becauSE I WANT THEM TO COME TO HK TOO OK /extremely live deprived/ (which is the result of me being salty at all of the bands not coming to hk lmao)

(but Versailles is coming to HK and I really want to go ;v;;;;;;;;;;;;; but at the same time, if Pentagon came, I would have definitely went ;v;;;;;; I want to hear Hizaki's guitar shredding but then no one likes Versailles (not that I know of) ;v;;; and I don't want to be stuck alone ;v;;;;;;)

Basically sad life lol. IM GOING TO WAIT FOR KIRYU, ROYZ AND/OR CODOMO DRAGON TO COME TO HK. C'MON GUYS, IM WAITING TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON YA'LL.
