Though I like to make friends, I’ll likely not accept any more friend requests.
Just so you know, I don’t share scans on my journal so please refrain from friending me
regarding them. Though you can go ahead and friend me if you want to follow my journal.
However I may friend you back if we share lots and lots similar interests,
please explain why you want to be friend with me in your introduction.
You’re more than welcomed if you’re a “hardcore” fan of Mai-K <3
I'm free to decline any request.

Today it's my lovely Hibiya-kun's birthday, let's all fully celebrate it ♥



日々也くん、誕生日おめでとおおおおおお~☆⌒(>。≪)

I was afraid the merchandise wouldn't arrive in time for his birthday but thanksfully they eventually did arrive today (I posted them on my twitter (*^O^*) if you're interested). Hibiya-kun I really really wish you a "wonderful" 素晴らしい birthday~♪ Many rabu ♥♥♥

[ x ] Poster from the Animage (Tsugaru is on the right side underneath the note and the strap)
[ x ] Hibiya Rubber Strap from Durarara!! 3way standoff -alley-
[ x ] Hibiya Ring Note x2: I borrowed cousin's ring note, mine is wide-opened!
[ x ] Hibiya Cellphone Strap

Btw the episode 3 and 4 was aired on TV, it was so excitinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng O(≧∇≦)O  It wasn't in French though but with subs, Dybex (the French company) said they're currently dubbing it in French so you can expect to see the next complete box with both subs and French dubs on it hehe. Oh and they still haven't get the rights for a BD release from what they said, well there's yet a BD box release in Japan either.



Another important thing that I haven't mentioned anywhere yet (not even on my twitter oO). Anyway I plan to start a blog entirely dedicated to Dura. Hmm I've actually already opened it three weeks ago or so, can't remember when exactly, but didn't like how it looked (I mean, graphically speaking) so I just left it as it is for the time being.
On this blog, I was thinking about posting everything that is directly or not completely related to Dura including news, information (light novel, manga, anime...), merchandise, media but also doujinshi (though no DL link huh ^_^;;;). So why a blog and not continuing it on Livejournal? Thing is Livejournal did not work very well these past months and to boot there're things that can't be done on Livejournal (not to mention all the changes LJ has made, I can't make tables withouth going to the hlml form) but on a blog apart.
It will likely not be a weekly update blog, but a when-I-have-time-to-post blog. Though of course I'll do my best to post things. Don't know if you've noticed it, but I've been trying to stay away from Tumblr and post things here instead lately! That's what I did and will do for the blog as well (>w< )/
I'll be hard to work on it on my own (especially with school ToT), if anyone is interested to help me, I'll gladly accept it (^_^)

Ok that's it for today, Happy Birthday once again to Hibiya• · ˙ · . .

Sensei tweeted this two hours ago:


ryohgo_narita 成田良悟

そういえば、今日のFATEゼロの時に、コマーシャルでなにかあるらしいですよ? いったい、何が……。

Sensei pointed out about something that will be happening during FATE Zero CM. And now everybody is expecting a season 2 of Dura… (well it might eventually just be a BD BOX…)

Edit:


ryohgo_narita 成田良悟

あー、先刻のつぶやきで誤解されてる方がいらっしゃいますが、バッカーノともデュラララとも関係ないです、すいません。

Sensei just said there’s been a misunderstanding and he apologizes for this. The thing he mentioned has nothing to do with Baccano! or Durarara!!. Hahaha Sensei…
He's trolling like Iza XDDDDD

Red Dragon


This is the CM :p  That's a collaboration RPF (Role-playing fiction) in which Sensei has joined.

It's supposed to come out by the end of January 2012.

[ x ] B-Sides: 2 (Sayonara wa Mada Iwa Naide, step by step)


As said on twitter, I don't etablish a link between Lalala*La and a certain fandom (^q^)

Anywayz, I didn't see it coming, though I knew it would eventually come out sooner or later just that there were two consecutive singles released no long ago so I was kind of surprised when I saw the news. But of course it makes me super happy, so many releases uwaaaah (*/□\*)

Just as "FUTURE KISS", two B-Side songs were included in the album, not that I don't like them but as I've said for "FUTURE KISS" a year ago, I'd rather see new songs and leave the B-Side songs for their respective single. Why? Coz I like the idea of them being "exlusive" single songs, well yeah. Haha and obviously I need more new songs to feed  my hunger fufufu~~☆

"Love one another" in the album, so it was true!! Ok I will tell what I saw back then. They sais they'll release it in Mai-K's future album and for some unknown reason, that sentence was replaced the next day. I promise to have seen it on the official website! Oh well as long as it on the upcoming album I'm relieved. Speaking of which, "Love one another" was originally Michael Africk's song from his first album, released on December 8th, in which Mai-K was featuring ♥ Afterwards, "Love one another" was released on iTunes as donations for Japan earthquake.

On the official website, it says "OVER THE RAINBOW" is the first album to not reused the title as a song. And by the way, the first track is "Strong Heart". On a previous album, "One Life", Mai-K performed Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow". I feel that "OVER THE RAINBOW" is kind of similar to "FUTURE KISS", "FUTURE KISS" was already showing rainbow colors, wasn't it? Well nevermind considering this year's songs, I'm very positive about this album. To resume, "FUTURE KISS" is my fav album (^w^)

I like the covers ♥♥♥  They're now my fav album covers uwaaah♪ I love the colors, they fit the title so well and Mai-K is so gorgeous on the covers ///////  I don't know whether I like the LE or the RE cover, they're both so fabulous (*^▽^*)

Just to let you know: these Dura figures are coming in March. Ok I received several packages these past months, let me show you the most recent ones :)



[ x ] Durarara!! Dress Sticker B Shizuo
[ x ] Durarara!! Postcards
[ x ] Durarara!! DVD/CD File
[ x ] Durarara!! Izaya's Birthday Set

This is the first international order I made with my card, I've just changed bank due to some circumstances and requested a credit card (yeah up untill now, I didn't have one ^^;;). Remember when I mentioned about this birthday set, I eventually purchased it! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ILLUSTRATION, Izaya is so, so... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Izayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa \(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\
I need Shizuo's birthday set now, I want want want want want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not longer available, it's been sold out long ago by the time I've started to use a proxy service (;__;)  If anyone knows where I could get it or wants to sell it, please do inform me~ m(_ _)m


Plate


Now that I have this set, I'm so afraid to break this plate!! I can't leave it in my bedroom, not that my bedroom is messy to begin with, there're just too many stuff in my storage and I'm afraid the whole box would fall down by inadvertenly.
I've taken more pics but I'll leave them for my future(?) review :)


[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Stainless Mug
[ x ] Prism Connect Durarara!! BOX
[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Plushie Bousou Kishi
[ x ] Tales of Vesperia Plushie Bousou Kenkyuin

The Tales merchandise order was made by Bro. Bro decided to pay every Tales merch we're interested in so I'd save money for stuff I want = Dura XD Ah Bro I really LOVE you ♥♥♥  Tales of Vesperia is our favorite Tales game so far. Tales of Eternia and Tales of the Abyss used to be my fav but Yuri made you to love TOV more that you're meant to (^q^)

 
Yuri ~ Rita ~ Flynn

Yay for the plushies, I finally own Rita and Flynn ♥~~<(^///^<)
I took several more pictures of them, including different [fun] poses, but for some unknow reason they ended up to be really odd. I mean, compare my usual pics and these, don't they look totally different in terms of colors or something like that. I don't know what did happen with Bro's camera. I can't seem to take decent pics with his cam lately (well at least, I didn't use mine... ^^;).

FureYuri (Flurrie) / YuriFure (Yullen)

Hope Flynn and Rita plushies sold well so they could consider to make the other chars too. Though the other TOV chars (Estelle, Raven, Judith, Karol & Patty. Repede plushies does exist <3) aren't as popular as these three but why not other Tales game chars like... Leon, Luke, Asbel, Emil, Jude & Milla *__*


[ x ] Viva☆Tales of Magazine - December Issue
[ x ] Wings - December Issue
[ x ] Rubber Strap Collection Tales of Friends Vol.1 BOX
[ x ] Rubber Strap Collection Tales of Friends Vol.2 BOX
[ x ] Mai Kuraki - HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN LIVE 2010
[ x ] Mai Kuraki - Your Best Friend (Limited Edition)


Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~♥~♥ "Your Best Friend" is now in my hands!! I LOVE this song so much, I think I'll add it to my TOP 5 <33333  There's a pass code behind the sticker, it's supposed to be available in the near future or something, I forgot which day though, I'll check it out again later. Anyway, the CD look very refined for some reason, the DVD is red though.
As for the HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN LIVE DVD, the box is simple just like your usual DVD box. Mai-K's "Best Live" box was definitely more appealing, I'm not surprised by it either anyway. However the DVDs are pleasant as such, orange and purple like the previous HHHL DVDs but I like these best ///


I went to get Viva and Wings on last week's Friday after my classes. Glad my bookstore was still opened (^^;) I should have gone during my holidays I guess haha. And guess what? They have extra copies of Viva displaying there! Haha guess my subscription in the Viva conduced them to get additional copies for the other customers :) They happened to do the same for the ZERO-SUM and the Wings back then when I'd requested them.

 


I specially purchase this issue because of the color pages from "Alice". That's just a sample, there're actually three colors (2-page spreads + a single page) in the issue. Alice has such a serious face waah, I can't wait for the tank to come out because I don't understand what is going on in this chapter since I don't track the mag but for the color pages (^o^;;)
Lucky me, in this issue there was another color page for Takarai-sensei's new work I mentioned some time ago, Kakemakumo, Kashikoki ♥ (also own the issue in which the first chapter came out)
I assume you recognize the two illustrators for the posters: Tsukiji Nao (Adekan, Nao-sensei is often asked to do the posters anyway fufu) and Kazuya Minekura (Saiyuki). From what I heard, Minekura-sensei has just started her new work in the Wings!


Rubber Strap Collection Durarara!! & Tales of Friends

I find a great pleasure seeing these three boxes of the Rubber Strap Collection <(^w^<) Though my mind eventually changes if I start to remind of Psyche-tan T__________T  I think I'll cry over it as long as I do not own it...........
Anyhow, Kotobukiya sure knows how to appeal fangirls. The boxes are so cute ♥


ビバ☆テイルズオブマガジン 2011年 12月号
Viva☆Tales of Magazine December Issue
Release date: 2011.10.28


I have put some samples of the previous issues in my Tumblr. Feel free to take a look, they're under the tag "tales of series".


This is a report from the 15th W Anniversary event in which Kosuke Toriumi (Yuri) and Mai Nakahara (Estelle) from Tales of Vesperia participated.
In Tales of Xillia, you can customize your chars with accessories and clothes, well no difference from the previous Tales but you can also do more than just these: facial changes. In this two samples, Elise is drooling (yodare) while Jude is having a nosebleed (hanaji) :D
I want this Tipo Bag >< Behind that's a bag that features Tipo (TOX), Tokunaga (TOA) and... Mieu (TOA) <3


A trading cards box was released few days ago. After a quick look, it seems there are exclusive illustrations, though some of them were eventually revealed in Viva (yep I'm sure to have seen them before). And as the Prism Connect Dura, the seiyuu signed some cards \(^o^)/
In the Vol.3 of the Rubber Strap Collection Tales of Friends, an exclusive strap will be only available through Kotokubiya shop: Asch. I placed an order for it, don't want to miss the chance to get since I missed Psyche-tan v______v
The Otasuke duo, Masaya Onosaka (also knows as Zelos' seiyuu), and Katsuyuki Konishi (also knows as Lloyd' seiyuu), held a lottery with Tales merch hehe. You can watch the video here! And speaking of TOS, samples from the Reunid World was revealed in the issue. One of them is about Lloyd and you-know-who-I-am-talking-about. Considering it has spoiler, be sure to have played the game entirely or read the manga. If you see this without this, it'd completely ruin ths story.................................. so here you go.

 

Yuri sure looks like a girl in this pic. It amuses me knowing they leave up to the artist to draw Yuri as a girl in the official mag haha.
Zagi is Yuri's servant XD Zagi is just a bit... too fond of Yuri~!
The volume 1 of the manga adaptation of Tales of Graces is now out. It was released on October 27th. The manga is serialized in Viva :)
Yes you see it right, that's Coda from Tales of Innocence with human face hahaha!

Arrived two days ago along with DRRR!! 3way -alley- for my cousin. I rarely purchase djs as you know but HIVE cover was calling out to me and before I realized it, my order was already made haha. I'll take pics of them (no scan, just cam pics, besides the covers and BLACKOUT, don't want to bend them :S) in my usual place, just tell me which one you want to see first :)  Btw more are on the way~~*


Last message, I've added my tumblr posts in my Dura Archives so I could know in a single place which items I haven't posted here. Do visit this page if you're interested in the updates (^_^ )/

I'm spliting my upcoming post because Izaya-kun is taking too much space XD



Durarara!! 1/8 Scale PVC Pre-Painted Orihara Izaya
Release date: 2012.01.31 2012.02.31
Manufacturer: ALTAiR
Price: ¥7,140 (~67€)

- The figure is sold with an interchangeable arm. Izaya's arm does NOT move!! -


Description:
Izaya is holding his knife in the front on his right hand, this pose will likely remind you of the multiple scenes in which he's messing around with Shizuo [ Episode 3 (spoilers): X | X | X ]. Note that the knife is on the same side as in the anime, take a look at the pike. Another point here, he's holding his ring on his index finder, not too deep like the anime.

With his other hand, Izaya is holding the left side of his coat which makes it somehow float. He seems to have put his hand on his pocket, no sure about that but he's likely holding his coat from there. Sure thing is Izaya likes his coat so do I ♥
The fur is really fine, he must have been hell to make that, I don't know many character with a fur coat myself (coincidentally... Enjin xD), no surprise the fur is beige and not white like some lazy people would go.The hood is on the back like most of the time.


His left feet was lift, just like something he would do hehe. His clothes are black while in the anime they were a bit dark blue or something like this, though black may be the right color. Izaya is as expected very thin, everyone says so anyway, they made it so you could see his body parts (well he has no body-build to begin with XD).

Something that I was hardly seeing coming, his belt is shorter than I thought it'd be. Thus shorter than what you can see in the anime [ Episode 12 (spoilers): X ] and I assume somebody as tidy as him wouldn't miss that point. Ah well nevermind, that's just a belt and it's still good as it is nya~~

Ok now the most important part: his face! Izaya is having a provoking smile on the face, which he used to have when he's having fun (with Shizu-chan :D). Looking at a particular angle, you might see his eyes that are glaring at a specific point: the same direction of his knife (Ah Shizu-chan, you must be in front of him to make him having such a face ww).

His hair has lots peaks, almost like bed hairs haha but they look perfect on him, really they do. And anyway we don't know how Izaya is supposed to be, I mean transforming a 2D character to a 3D one always make you find out things you weren't aware of, were you?

[ description based on my previous post ]


The figure did not change from the one that was displayed previously. With all of these pics, I can confirm several points which I couldn't in my above description:

His face is even more charming if you look at him in every possible angle. He sure is confidence, wherever you look at him, he still has this majestic air. His smile is perfect, it must have been such a hard piece of work to make a smile that means to look as Izaya's. Izaya's smile has something that other characters don't, I don't know how to say that but once again, the air it gives is totally different from all characters I have seen till now. And indeed Izaya's face remains faithful to the original character! ♪



Izaya does put his hand in his pocket. He likes to put his hand in anyways, this is so like him >w< which leave his coat float. The coat is creased. They really did a good on those, I'm very impressed, see especially his back uwaaaah!!


Which leads us to this... Izaya figure includes an interchangeable arm. Untill now, they have been displaying him tending his knife in the front as you see down here. So it was a big shock to all fans (of course including me) when they first revealed it. No one would have thought about it and yet they really did it to please us, fangirls.

His pose does not change and for some reason when he does this, the figure is even more like him. I mean, anytime Izaya would pick his cellphone, he would put his other hand in his pocket, wouldn't he? o(^^o)(o^^)o


Now some description. Please look at this screenshot from the Episode 12 as reference (it does not spoiled so you can go ahead and click it, and yes Izaya is very cute in this screenshot XD).
Izaya uses his right hand to hold his cellphone, well he tends it close to his face so. He's holding it with all his fingers in the exception of his thumb just as the screenshot says. I'm saying that because some people tend to not use all of their fingers to hold their phone (~> me, my auricular finger is usually lift for some reason).

Anyways, his cellphone is full black, the screenshot I used as reference shows that the keys are either white or black. And if you take a good look at the figure, the screen is also different, most liekly a smartphone, right? Izaya has many cellphones so it might just be any one of them. I will try to make some search in the episodes and see whether this one exists or not

His cellphone has a strap, a black strap in which is hanging a metal plate. That one is as very same as you see in this screenshot hehe~~ (^∀^)  [ I want that straaaaaaaaap ]

Now that was said, I know right the price seems a bit crazy but if you're used to purchase figure, you're supposed to know how it works. Regarding ALTAiR's practice price, well all of their figures are sold at ¥7,140 which includes Natsume (from Natsume Yuujinchou), Yuri & Flynn (from Tales of Vesperia), Kazuma & King Kazma (from Summer Wars) and lastly Azusa (from Starry☆Sky). So this isn't surprising if you want my opinion. And personally for the work they have done on Izaya figure, I could doubtlessly say it's all deserved (ゝω・´★)  If I had a job, I'd definitely pick another figure of him, he's too amazing to not take this opportunity >o< Oh and by the way January is not too far, I can't wait for its release!!!!!!!

Also, don't forget that ALTAiR is preparing Shizuo Heiwajima and Celty Sturluson as well, they're supposed to be released next year too so people you can already save money if you plan to get them! [ I will XD ]  If they eventually sell well, hope they will consider to make Shizuo and Izaya's counterparts: Tsugaru, Psyche, Delic & Hibiya ♪(/ω\*)

Mizu is very very very veeeeeeeeeeeeeery fan of Mai Kuraki and she will keep supporting her for the rest of her life ♥\(^o^)
