Trip:Funan anime matsuri 2015‏

As stated in the last week post,I am going to talk about my trip to Funan Anime Matsuri 2015



Almost every year,funan anime matsuri is held at funan IT mall in Singapore,it is not a big event but there are plenty of notable event there like card game tournament e.g cardfight!vanguard! And performance of artist from Japan.
This year guest singer are bless 4

  


When I arrive in the afternoon of the second day...

Quite a lot of people had already arrive probably for the anime screening




   People having fun at the card games table


   
   People having vanguard match 




                          (Surprise,surprise!who say only guys enjoy cardgames only?) 





And the main purpose of coming here(drum roll....!!!)

Cosplayer picture!(I did not ask for any specific pose by the way)



(My favourite costume among all)



(Who doesn't like japanese kimono?)


(dun't ask me why i took this,i just got the feel)
Judgement:its a pretty good small scale anime event with lot of different activities to look forward to everyday,however I would only come for two day(both day in the late afternoon)as I was busy,would have love to come for the performance on the sat.

Overall its a pretty great event its like the appetizer for what comes next:Chara expo Singapore 2015!


That all for this week post,stay tune for next week post about my trip to charaexpo Singapore 2015

Stuff-Japanese maglev toy train goes up to 500km/hour?‏

This post was suppose to be about Funan Anime Matsuri,however if there is no event what am i going to blog about??(me and my rant)anyway,this is a new segment i will be introducing which is part of the category call-"stuff"where basically i will blog about some of the interesting stuff that i saw over the internet related to japan,so here goes...


Wow!(was the first words that escape from my mouth after I view the article)

I mean being for a toy its pretty impressive(in fact,unbelievable)to chalk up to 500km/hr,its just a toy right?I mean...anyway,take a look at the video under the link,cause its just awesome.

Video link:



Maybe you didn't get all wow like me,but you have to admit the toy is really quite cool.I like the part especially when they compare the maglev train with the current toy shinkansen model(Japanese bullet train),it make the shinkansen look like a tortoise even though shinkansen can notch up to about 300m/hr,which is faster then most car. 

That say,the price of the maglev train model is pretty steep pricing at 35,000 yen (US$283),oh well....maybe I should add the maglev testing museum when I visit Japan someday(that the price for a cool toy)

Here is the video that show the real life maglev train being tested in the Yamagata prefecture

Really looking forward to see this real life!

Scandal latest single-no22 "stamp!"‏

So,I have decided to start the revival of my blog by renewing the latest single of scandal "stamp"

After many month of hiatus,no thank to procrastination,I have decide to have this blog go through a major change.while I will still be writing review of single and song that I have heard,I also will be review on other thing that is somewhat related to Japanese,so stay tune to it!

Anyway,back to the topic of "stamp"

Here is the cd cover picture of stamp

Regular Edition

Limited Edition A

Limited Edition B
http://www.jpopasia.com/i1/news/3/18064-djwcfm9q4z.jpg

What do you guy think?personally,I think the cd cover look all almost the same(dissapointed),but i think its a not bad cover for summer single,what do you guy think?

My idea image of summer:
Summer=casual clothes+sunglasses(or at least that what I think,haha)


Here is the link to "stamp"short version anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSbVK9BEqPY 

 Judgement:I think I would give this at least a 7/10

It start off pretty well and the overall music sound pretty casual,for a summer song it may lack the impact of "energeticness"but i feel that it gives of a different kind of summer vibes.Overall,it may not be the best single scandal has out there but i think its among the top there,also what I like about it is that you can instantly like the song when you first hear it.Pls do give it a try!
