Was struggling at first but slowly coping though for now, I am only confident in one mod out of my 4 core I took this semester(-.-) Just got to ganbatte!
Many things happened from my last post till now;
LoveLive The School Idol Movie~
I watched Love Live the school idol movie in hometown on the 15/9. It was truly a great movie. I may not have followed them from the start(which I regretted I don't...), to think it is ending... It gt me sad; much like any great stories that ended.- B'cos ends r hard to accept yet everything comes to an end one day... It was nice knowing them(even though it is only a yr) and guess b'cos it's so short, I didn't cry at the end(but was deeply touched by the ending though...). The bond I've with them may not be as strong as those who followed them from the start but I do know that their influence was one of the biggest and fastest in my life. In just such a short amt of time of one yr, they gt me hooked, playing their game(SIF), watching their shows(seasons 1 and 2 in a few weeks) and buying their merchandises, and most of all, they even made me see VA(voice actors) in a different new lights.TBH, I was never a fan of VAs; I was simply a dedicated anime fan, solely on animes. Much like a person who prefer fantasy than reality. While I thank those VA for making the characters alive, that's all I ever do; thanking them for making them alive without even knowing the VAs' names. Just thanking VA in general for voicing the characters. However, love live... It is kinda refreshing to see VAs not needing to change their voices for the characters they r playing since the characters they r playing r literally themselves tbh but just maybe personalities differ a bit? Regardless, it is even better when the VAs themselves do live shows, following their anime counterparts! It's like fantasy and reality being mixed into one.
As such, I came to slowly watch variety shows with the VAs inside and it's nice seeing them react and sometimes doing actions resembling their anime counterparts! Also, I started watching anime that have the VAs inside, simply to listen to their voices or how they act their characters in another anime with a different personality.
In short, Love Live, over the a duration of a yr, has introduced me to many and made me look at the different things with a positive mindset; it even made me play rhythm games which I like it but always think I sux at it but slowly made me see the results of constant playing!-And came to like rhythm games much!

Love Live Sunshine: Aqours~
Talking about LoveLive, U's sister(?) grp, Aqours, had its debut single out on 7/10! And I gotten it on that very day!Love to get Riko's standee but only by buying from bandai visual can I get her which doubt there's overseas shipping... Well, overseas shipping is said to Kanan standee and well, she's not bad; reminds me much of Kotori- an easygoing girl?
As for the card, was damm lucky to get Chika- one of my fave! And nice combination of Kanan and Chika together- childhood friend pairing(0.0) although the pv says otherwise. It is much due to Chika and Riko being the centers which is interesting!- The first time having 2 centers for a grp song~
There're quite a no. of ChikaRiko moments(tbh, too many that I think fans gng ship them hard!) This scene just won it all:
(OTP!!!>8<)
So want to draw this scene(and maybe change to HonoUmi o.o) These 2 reminds me so much of Honoka and Umi(esp that loving look from Riko at the 2nd one!!! It's so what Umi would give!!!)
When I'm free, I shall!(feeling pumped up!)
Oh and the Aqours' fanart I was working on... Luckily I managed to finish before the single was out(if u had been following my insta~)
This is just the uncleaned version(well, my drawing style is kinda messy due to many strokes I did when trying out to see if what I drew is alright or not. I've decided to clean up the pencil markings and outline them in their individual colours. And the progress so far~
Finished: Chika, Kanan, You, Mari and Dia~
Left: Riko, Yoshiko, Hanamura and Ruby~
Wanted to outline them in sequence until I found out Riko and Ruby have quite similar self colours- Pink... And I only one type of pink which makes this a slight problem. Nonetheless, it was solved after getting a slightly purplish pink- likely to be for Ruby~
Will work on the other 4 soon(when I gt the time to...-.-) And, though 1st single just came out, the 2nd single has decided! And the center for 2nd single voting is ongoing till 13/10! Vote now before it is too late! I'm going for Kanan- she needs more love, considering she gt last in a recent voting by fans...(Kanan, faito!!!)
Gaming life~
For SIF, I think I'm really losing motivation to play, esp for jap. As it is now, I am already skipping 2 events. I feel like giving up my acc yet b'cos of the URs gotten from magazines and fanbooks that were bought... Giving up isn't easy due to the acc being a somewhat costly acc than free acc... With the recent Dengeki G's magazine bought which gt SR Maki's code, I'm having a hard time, thinking what to do with it... Sigh...
As for En... I'm barely playing as well- only playing when there's an event and once gotten event SR, I rest till the next event... With sch being busy, I can't afford to play 2 acc and rather, I had a hard time even to play 1 acc, tbh(-.-)
For IDM CG starlight stage, there's an event going on. It's much like Million Arthur but instead of killing bosses, you play the song types specified by the event, and those types of songs will drop the event SR. Seems easy, right?- I thought as well since there'll be no ranking so everyone'll hav a chance to get the SR. Yet... Here I am, getting jealous at ppl saying they hav many event SRs to max the drop rate abilities of the SR while I gt nothing but event Rs... Sigh... I'm losing hope plus playing starlight stage is much more tiring than playing SIF...(And that in last event, I couldn't get a single Nana...) Still gt another 4 more days to go...
In a nutshell, you can say I'm losing my motivation to play all the 3 rhythm games... It's fun to play rhythm game but guess due to school, it becomes a chore when there's an event and I kinda hate it...-.-
Misc.
School had been busy- no doubt about it. Just had a test yesterday and man, I really wish there was more time!- I was so close to getting the answer when the teacher had to say stop writing... Sigh... Need to speed my processor in my brain(maybe I should practise sleeping early?) Still gt another test next week's Saturday before my mid-terms are finally over!-Guess can relax a day or 2 before thinking about finals which is in like about a mth time(-.-)
Rushing schedule but that's Uni life for ya~ For AFASG which will start on my last day of finals, I shall persevere!
Oh and watching Boruto with my friend tmr- can't wait to watch it! Though time gng be much used up but I think I can afford it:)
Pretty much that's all then. It's not every time I could blog and plus over the period since my last post, I had wanted to blog but every time I did, I ran out of time from doing my sch work(-.-) [I had wanted to write lovelive movie Review but due to time constraint...] You can say I managed to find the time to, considering I nid not wake up early tmr due to e-learning week tmr- no lectures but gt to watch the recordings which I hate so much yet can't run away...
Until next time then~ This is Yaiji signing off~ (Do follow my insta or twitter for updates instead; I update more there due to easier updating~)
