I Feel "Cheated" From An Online Store... -_- "

Yep, it's all in the title.


Looks like my preordered CD is going to take a long time to get delivered to me. I swear it was supposed to be shipped today, but apparently not. It's still on "Preparing Order" !!!! Gaghh!!! RAWRRRR.


I was actually supposed to preorder Kalafina After Eden too. Not sure what made me want to order Meisa Kuroki's Wired Life. Ao no Exorcist vibes, I believe. But how can they surpass my Kalafina instincts?! 


And now I can't cancel my order either. I was SURE that Play-Asia had excellent service, but the shipping seems enough to make me not order there again. Let's see how safely it gets to me first. I shouldn't judge too early... shame on me.


BUT STILL, if it's gonna take like five weeks to get it to me then I will never forgive Play-Asia. EVERRRRRR. Not in a million years! Unless something good happens and they give me a ton of free CDs! Which I guess is not gonna happen... I only went to Play-Asia in the first place 'cause they had low prices. 


Nevermind, it's just me. I'm just having extremely low patience these days...


PS: You might've noticed that I've been dropping my "bottom headers." You know, the whole "Fuyu dreams! Keep dreaming!" and jazz. I've totally given up on that because it was too much of a pain to copy & paste & perfect...

A First!

This is going to be the first time that I have ever preordered a CD! Well, I preordered it like a week ago...but whatevs, that doesn't COUNT! lol 


Okay... so I preordered Meisa Kuroki's "Wired Life." It's supposed to be good. Or maybe my fangirl senses of Ao no Exorcist are taking over and possessing me to buy the CD.xD But I'm still happy - it's supposed to come tomorrow, coinciding with my stupid dentist appointment. So I'm questioning whether I should be happy or sad, happy that I've got my first CD coming tomorrow, or sad that I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow too...


I've been checking up on Play-Asia (the site I preordered it from) to see if the order status changes, but it's been on "Preparing Order" !


Short post today gomen~~ and because of that, I'll add a special at the end! *wink wink*

Wah! Kalafina After Eden!! Part 2...

Kyubei Reincarnated?!!

My mother saw a stray cat this morning. She's an early bird as some might say. Let me skip to the good part. The next moment then, I was spazzing out like some crazed fangirl in her fantasies. Wait. I am a crazed fangirl in my fantasies. Nevermind. 

I-It was like Kyubei reborn ... like you know, the Kyubei from Puella? *pause* THE INCUBATOR. *resume* Its tail was especially so Kyubei-like. And... it was pure white with two multi-colored eyes, one yellow, and one blue. 

I even named it Kyubei! I hope it will come back. I took it into my home. Well, my mom did - and fed it beef soup too because it was the best substitute for cat food that we could find .....

It was so dirty. We didn't even get to clean it before it ran away. But at least we did get to feed it. 

It was starving. Poor child. 

I hope it will come visit us again if it doesn't get caught by someone else. Kyubei, come back! Mommy will be waiting for youuuuu! 


And now, the long awaited picture of Kyubei (from the anime)! I wish I had gotten a picture of the kitty Kyubei though.

Wah! Kalafina After Eden!!

Kalafina's new album is coming September 21st, named After Eden. I'm so excited!! It has one of my favorite single songs from it - Magia and Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa. And Symphonia. Too bad it didn't get released as a single though. It was only released from the Rekishi Hiwa Historia (correct me if I'm wrong...) OST. Sad. I adore Keiko's deep voice in that song.


I'm looking forward to new epic songs from Hikaru! Not that I don't like Wakana and Keiko. I'm just a bigger fan of Hikaru! Love that girl's voice, especially in songs like sprinter, ARIA, and Hikaru no Senritsu. Hikaru's voice was so strong in Magia. It's amazing how she could be soft and melodic and angelic-like in *HnS and BOOM! She could totally transform her voice into something powerful and magical at the same time. 


The anime was good too. Love Madoka! And Tomoe, and Homura too.


But I love Kalafina as a whole as well. Their voices together is the most beautiful arrangement I've ever heard of. Thanks to Yuki Kajiura, and might I add, Yuki Kajiura-sama, we get to hear the entrancing voices of Kalafina and FictionJunction.

(This is the limited edition cover of After Eden.)

The cover is so elegant ... I'm so excited! I wish September 21 could come in a wink. But sadly, I don't know if I can afford the album, since it is imported from Japan. And I'm in America, so, I'm not sure how that's gonna work. Maybe I'll ask my parents to buy it for me as an early Christmas present, and promise that I won't ask for anything else in the next year? I'm coming up with plans, but maybe I'll just skip the album and buy the next single, which is cheaper. I'm seriously not sure. I don't want to miss out on getting the limited edition though. It has the **PV of Symphonia (If you know me, you know that I LOVE watching PVs!) and a documentary sort of thing from Kalafina's 2011 trip (I think...) to Anime Boston. I've never owned a CD before, and I would very much like for Kalafina's third album to be my first CD ever-owned!!
