Let it be known that I absolutely hate, hate, hate, HATE, HATE, HATE yard work and cleaning D< more than Kefka hates YOU!
Let's just say that I had to do a bit of both and in the end, I am in a very... bad mood because of it. Floating grass is not my idea of a good Monday...

This morning, I woke up from a very strange dream. I dreamt that I was back in High School and for some reason Bob Barker was coming to give a speech or something. For the life of me I could not get anyone to tell me WHY Bob Barker was coming to that school but everyone seemed excited so I just brushed it off. I woke up laughing, making my mom give me the usual "WTF?" look :3
I watched Moon Child again today. Regardless of how dauntingly long this movie is, I still love it. If you haven't seen it, I recomend it especially if you're a fan of either Gackt or Hyde. The story is very good and there is plenty of fan service ^^ I'm glad my sister was able to get it with TLA's release of Danger After Dark.
The previous was the live that Gackt, Lee, Taro and Zeny did to promote the Thearetical Release back in 2003. Hyde was meant to sing the song with Gackt, but I do beleive he was on tour with L`Arc en Ciel at the time.

Now, I'd like to start something I've been thinking of doing for a while. At least once a week, I'll scourer the Japanese and American news for something that might be interesting for us Otaku. I'll call it Otaku Nation since a friend of my suggested this ^^
I'll start with something that took place LAST week but it was big enough for me to add for this week since it is the first installment.
On May 2nd, 1998, 松本 秀人 died of what some think was an accidental suicide. If you don't know who Hide is, I'll give you a quick run-through. Hide was the guitarist for X-Japan. He also did a few solo albums, one of which produced the hit Pink Spider while with "Hide with Spread Beaver. Needless to say, he was a Japanese Rock Icon that passed way before his time.
May 3rd, 2010, over 35,000 people gathered to pay their respects to his grave in Japan. The article can be found here.

Everyone by now should know that the Japanese have a lot of different tasting sweets and snacks. Apparently, I'm wrong when I say "everyone" because a group of reporters recently found out about the strange array of Kit-Kat flavors that the Japanese offer. They took it upon themselves to taste a few of them and give their opinions. I have to admit, I really would like to try a few of them, especially the Raspberry Passion fruit ^^ -- More can be found here.

Chiemi Hori was put into the Guinness Book of World Records for creating the worlds largest Onigiri ^^ with a tawara-gata shaped pedestool of 5,555 individual onigiri. Well, technically its more like the worlds most onigiri on one plate buuut it's still awesome!
What's not awesome is all the complaining about how it was a big waist of food. Get over it, damn D< pissing me off! Reading the news apparently makes me mad ._.;
On a more..."Okay?" note, Tsukioka Aya created a skirt that can turn into a disguise...what does it turn into? A Coca~Cola vending machine...-_-;
"It is just easier for Japanese to hide. Making a scene would be too embarrassing. These ideas might strike foreigners as far fetched, but in Japan, they can become reality."
American side, it is known that OCRemix is making a Final Fantasy IX compilation CD among others things. Kate Covington, known as katethegreat19 on YouTube is submitting a new piece that was recently released on her channel. It is a cover of the Cleyra Settlement theme.
I personally like it, as I like most of her work. What I like most about the video is that we get to finally see her playing the instruments. You can tell she's nervous but it feels good to see her at work ^^
Embeded just for you 8D
