Trip:gundam docks in singapore!‏

Firstly,i must apologise for not posting in a long time due to exam issue,anyway as promise here is the review of gundam dock in singapore!

(Finally,I am down just one more exciting event in June to review,phew!)

Personally,I got into the gundam franchise around the time when gundam seed and gundam seed destiny aired at that time I was probably only about 8-9 year old and always look forward to the 11pm Saturday kids show they offered on television and that time the show being aired was gundam seed(Come to think of it,that was probably one of the earliest time that watch anime,I didn't knew that Pokémon was also another anime until much later on)

Anyway,piloting a gigantic robot was probably the dream of every small kid(maybe its only me...)and of course the action scene got me hook onto the gundam seed,it wasn't until about two years ago where I decided to watch gundam again,this time being the latest series`gundam build fighters`.sure,maybe gundam has become plastic toy in the anime series but I still enjoy the action scene although I am still quite blur with the explanation of the plavursky particle on how it enable the gundam to move.

Okay,enough with my rattle let get this started!

Presenting the entrance of gundam docks!
 

 Along with its two guardian at the entrance

And the star of gundam docks!

Our very own sg50 version of RX78-2!






And the cute looking bearguy3 from gundam build fighter!

                                                


And various other gundam...

Featuring freedom or is it destiny gundam?(would never differentiate between them,i think its destiny gundam)






build burning try






Judgement:overall,it is a pretty small event,with a few activities such as the new gundam PlayStation game tryout and building your own gundam workshop(a pity I was able to only stop by for awhile),still after my trip to chara expo it would be certainly hard to beat that experience(perhaps Singapore afa 2015?)

Akb48 new single to have an halloween theme‏

Apparently,Akb48 up and coming single has been confirmed to have an Halloween theme.

Well...for a Halloween music video,I think we can expect akb48 member being dress up as ghost or some sort,I hope.sources have also state that it would be similar to koisuru fortne cookie(32nd akb single) and kokoro no placard(37th akb single)

It would be even more cooler if they could make a music video as cool as uza-which I think it would have fit in the Halloween theme very well

Judgement:whatever it is,I would be rooting for akb48 to step up their game as their song standard is not as good as before,personally I thought green flash(39th akb single) was a pretty good start for the year but then come bokutachi wo tatakawanai(40th akb single)which kind of disappoint me,

Also,by going the same formula again like koisuru fortune cookie and kokoro no placard this really start to bore me.I know idol music are nor that top grade but i really want that akb48 and their sister group to really step up their game.

For the past 2 month,i have started to listen to nogizaka46(akb48 rival group) and I really think some of their song are pretty good like e,g seifuku no mannequin (nogizaka46 4th single)and inoichi wa utzukushii(nogizaka46 11th single).No doubt they are not as establish as akb48 and their sister group but with the rate that they are going,I would say they are doing quite well.

Let me know what you guys think of nogizaka46!

Trip:chara expo part 2‏

Continuing from part 1... 

So after mashiro ayano live,I visited the akb48 treasure card store where I brought this clear folder from the store. 

 And now featuring...babymetal costume!!

 Pity that there wasn't any babymetal performance though.... 

 After that I try my hand at the yo-yo fishing,where you have to use something like a hook and pick up the ball,(cannot seem to find my ball....)

More cosplayer photo...

I headed off to the card games area where I was given a crash course in card fight!vanguard and future card buddyfight(I was happy to know that I would keep the deck after that) 

(cardfight!vnaguard)

(Future card buddyfight0

I wanted to learn Wixoss too but around this time something interesting was happening at the wrestling arena,so i quickly head there...

(It turn out there was a match going on)

On the other hand while the wrestling match is going on,nearby mashiro ayano was having a live autograph session for the fan that brought her CD. That was probably one of climax for this chara expo. 

Get ready for a barrage of mashiro ayano photo! 

(this was a good shot but i was too nervous at that time)

(Realise that maybe changing camera setting would be better...) 

After mashiro Aryano live autograph session,I continue to walk around the chara expo to snap more picture of cosplayer 

So for the last event of the day I headed to the main stage where maon kurosaki would perform

Some Info:At the time of writing,maon kurosaki has release about 9 singles and her notable song include her 7th single(rakuen no tsubasa) and 8th single(setsuna no kajitsu) for the anime"Fruit of grisala" 

I did not manage to take any photo this time round due to event helper going around to catch people from taking pictures of her performance but nevertheless,i had managed to secure quite a good seat near the stage. 

The event started of with the introduction of the people who were behind the creation of the `fruit of grisala` anime series.Before moving on to the singing performance,where maon kurosaki sang rakuen no tsubasa and setsuna no kajitsu. Her emcee between her performance were quite enjoyable particularly one exchange,here goes..

Maon kurosaki:Do you all like anime song?(minna,anisong dasuki wa?) 

Audience(response):We like anime song!(anisong dasuki!) 

Maon kurosaki:That mean we have the same hobby!so,if we have the same hobby,that mean we are friend right? 

Audience(responce cheerfully):right! (P.s At this point I totally cracked up at that logic,but sure anything to get the crowd going sound good to me) 

All good time,of course come to an end and we(audience) soon reluctantly wave hand and shout "bye bye" to her as she exit the stage 

Judgement:Overall,i had a fun time and in my opinion chara expo is more enjoyable then anime festival Asia due to the variety of program show such as artise showcase and the wrestling performance,this is really one event that I would really look forward to come again next year! Stay tune to next week review about gundam docks in Singapore!

Scandal 22nd single "stamp" music video review‏

The official music video for scandal"stamp" has finally been released,wooh!!!(sorry guys, this take precedence over chara expo)

Scandal is back after their "hello world" tour just in time to release their summer single,"stamp".

Previously, I have review the short audio version of stamp (You can read about the review of the scandal short version here)

Link to review of stamp short audio version:http://reviewrotation.blogspot.sg/2015/06/scandal-latest-single-no22-stamp.html 

Let begin,shall we?(me rubbing hand delightfully) 

Music video setting:Guam

Mood:summer setting

And action! 

"Stamp" start off well with a closeup view of haruna(aka scandal leader)

(As always haruna has a great voice,being their vocalist) 

Next up is tomomi(aka scandal bass player and squeaky voice)  

 






























(Don't start hating on me tomomi fans but I am actually a big fan of her voice and i think it complement very well with lots of scandal song,it just that my friend nicknamed her as squeaky voice so it kind of just stuck with me)

And a close up view of Mami 

(I like Mami voice a lot also especially her solo part in Kagen no tsuki(scandal single) and hon no yomu her solo song in their hello world! Album(in fact,hon no yomu is my most favourite solo song in the hello world album) 

And also a close up view of Rina 

(My favourite scandal member!,no word can describe her cuteness)

(By the way,there seem to quite a number of English words being implement in the song especially in the chorus part) 

The most funniest part in the music video definitely would be Rina jumpsuit string keep on coming down and the next moment it is up again

Scandal relaxing in the city:)

(What scandal really lack now is some food and drink to go along with the picnic)

Nothing like a drive in the summer....wait....Mami can drive??!

(How did she even squeeze in driving lesson in their busy schedule?) 

#justhavingafuntime 

And now we come to my favourite part! 

(I got a glimped of heaven...(ﾟ∀ﾟ).)  

And ending the video just dancing around:) 

Judgement:To tell the truth,I was slightly dissapointed with the full version of the song,the short version sound promising but when the full version comes its like full of English words bombing at my face,It is not a bad fit for summer though but it lack the punch compare to their previous single (scandal 21st single image). That say it is their first release for the year 2015 and a refreshing new change of music style and music video instead of their usual music video where they are just just shown playing instrument in some studio like kagen no tsuki(scandal 19th single) and overdrive(scandal 18th single0,so I think I will give it 7/10

Do let me know what you think of the video and stay tune for chara expo review which will be up soon
