Autumn Is Awesome & Paper Cranes for KAT-TUN

First off, I must express how excited I am!  My favorite season is on the way~!  Yes, I absolutely love autumn.  I really hadn't realized how much I adore the season until a few years ago.  I mean, all the other seasons are really nice, but it feels as though autumn is my ideal one: it's not too hot or too cold (depending on where you live), the leaves change into beautiful colors, and it's the beginning of the holiday season.  Unfortunately, due to where I live I don't get to see the leaves change color.  But if I could I would move to an area where I could see it.  I took one of those little quizzes on where you should be living, and it usually gives me places in the northeastern part of the U.S.  One in particular is a town called Camden, Maine.

Isn't it beautiful?  I probably wouldn't mind living there.  Of course, I'd have to get used to some things...like snow.  I also wouldn't mind living in the Pacific northwest either.  But anyway, look at this beautiful picture of the autumn season!

Anyhoo, I've also managed to send off my paper cranes for a fan project.  This one is for KAT-TUN to let them know how much fans miss them and to let them know that we're still with them even if they aren't doing any group activities right now.  The only worry that I (as well as many other fans) have is that they might not actually make it into their hands.  You see, Johnny's Entertainment (the company KAT-TUN is under) has strict rules that fans must follow.  One of them is that you're not allowed to send them a gift of any form.  The official fanclub checks all mail for their artists to make sure of that.  Really the only thing that can be given to any artist is a fanletter, thus many Hyphens (KAT-TUN's fans) are worried because we're sending paper cranes.  Obviously, they are going to be lumpy in an envelope.  But I'm still hoping that maybe the official fanclub will make this one exception and let them pass.  Each fan sending a crane was supposed to draw a symbol on the envelope to let the fanclub know it's part of the project.  So, here are mine:

 

 

I only sent off five of them, but I might actually send the sixth one to Jin.  ^^  Some fans said it probably would be best to attach them to a fanletter so that they wouldn't get lost once they were opened.  Thus, that is what I did.  I really do hope that KAT-TUN receive these paper cranes, and if they don't that's okay too.  At least I went through with it.  Well, until next time~  



Shipping Oddball & Nissan Stadium

"It's not what you think!"
So a while back, I was reading a fanfic titled 'Marry Me'.  As outrageous as it was at times, I also found it rather amusing.  The thing about it is that the main couple is JunnosukexChangmin.  I tend to shy away from fanfics of the 'shipping' genre, but there are times where I'll find one that piques my interest.  And because I'm rather paritcular to either JaeMin and now the JunnoMin ships, I read stories about them.  It's probably due to the rarity of material on them as well as the lack of interaction I see between JaeMin and JunnoMin.  But it's not what you think!  >__<  While I do find the fanfiction to be interesting, I still cannot for the love of me ship them into reality.  That's because I'd really like to ship them with me.  They are some of my biases after all.  (*≧∀≦)ゞ 

So, yeah...I'm rather an oddball.  While I don't like the idea of shipping at all, I still find reading the fanfics about it to be intriguing.  One side-effect from reading some (especially ones with smut) is that you can't see them the same way for at least the rest of the day.  XD

Party at Nissan Stadium!
Anyway...congrats to Yunho and Changmin for two days at Nissan Stadium!  I hear it's the biggest one in Japan.  I thought for sure Tokyo Dome was though, but I guess that's why one's a stadium and the other is a dome.  It was nice of fans to do multiple light shows for them.  I kind of expected alot of the praise that they got too.  Though I couldn't shake the feeling of "I wish that they could've done this feat as five".  :(  So, if possible...when Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu make it there, I hope that they will also have a light show put on for them.  Which reminds me!  While surfing the Internet trying to see if KAT-TUN also has done a show at Nissan Stadium (I thought they might've) I did come across new that was a year old saying that Junsu did perform there as well.  He was part of a small concert, but he indeed was there.  I know that Yunho and Changmin are considered the first 'foreign artists' to perform there...but Junsu was there too.  Wouldn't that count for something?  :o   

I'm not really sure where else I wanted to go with this post, so I'll just end it here.  Until next time~! 

*off to read more fanfics, lol*

Anime, Anyone?

So, my sister--who is more into anime than I am these days--had me watching a couple of anime titles in one day.  Here's my breakdown of what I watched:

Greed Island arc --> Chimera arc
We've been watching the anime 'HunterxHunter' for a while.  It's the recent version that is still airing in Japan.  We just finished the 'Greed Island' arc in which Gon and friends have managed to complete the video game and were ready to meet Ging--Gon's father.  However, who they run into is not him.  Instead it is an old friend of his father who is looking into a certain type of ant that is quite carniverous.  The queen of this kind of ant is trying to make the perfect king, but she needs to eat for it to happen.  Here's the thing...it doesn't matter what she eats.  From other insects to large animals...even humans.  She then uses a process called phylogenesis to mix traits of hers with traits of the animals she eats, thus creating a chimera creature.  But let me tell you, this arc is difficult to handle for me.  Some of the characters die.  ;A;

Free!
After hearing so much about it, we decided to watch the newest anime out there, 'Free!'  As I had mentioned earlier, it is a sports anime based around on swimming.  Of course the main audience for this is aimed towards fangirls because let's face it...guys in bathing suits swimming is sure to gain a girl's attention.  I must say that this anime is very entertaining allbeit nothing but fanservice.  I think the most hilarious part is the ending of each episode where the main guy characters are getting funky in a club.  XD 

Say "I Love You"
This anime is similar to your typical high school slice-of-life romance.  At first, I only saw the intro and was like: "This dude just kissed her.  Does he even know here like that?"  XD  But things get explained as the show rolls on.  It's a fairly short series, and I'm not really fascinated by how a girl in anime looks so helpless in recent works.  But the main girl in this one is a bit different, and the main guy is a real smooth talker!  ^^  He seems to really like her though. 

With that, there are some of the recent anime titles I've been watching as of late.  Until next time~!
