Kalafina: FairyTale

Kalafina: FairyTale0

The third Single of Kalafina, and this one, is also the theme song of Kara no Kyoukai. However, this time it’s a little bit different. The first track fairytale is recorded only for the 6th chapter Oblivion Recorder (忘却録音, Bokyaku Rokuon) of the anime. In the 6th chapter, Azaka will this time be a main character (finally) and I think this track is tailored for her probably.

Kara no Kyoukai Movie 4: Garan no Dou0

The DVD of the 4th movie of Kara no Kyoukai has released! Unfortunately, this chapter is also a short one (about 60 minutes), the 5th movie will be much longer according to the net drama I listened two months ago.

This chapter mainly talks about what happens after Shiki’s accident (actually this episode does tell how Shiki gets hurt) and how she gains the ability of her “Mystic Eyes of Death Perception”. Well, I’m ready to write a review.

New Theme Set off on Christmas Eve11

This is really an exciting moment and I’d like to announce that TheAkiba.com is now using its new theme! Just get noticed that when I first talking about making my own theme, it’s exactly one month ago when I assumed that I could have spend like half an year to learn the skill since I have little knowledge on CSS and PHP. Pretty glad to find myself way ahead of schedule!

I was following this game right from the first. The company named Sphere, released it’s latest galgame In solitude, where we are least alone.

Comiket 75 Booth Pamphlet0

Comiket is coming in the next two weeks and I’m now really feel like rock and roll! Started with the recent release of the Pamphlet of the booth of different Doujin Circles and illustrators, I’d like to continue my topic on Comiket 75, probably the biggest event this winter.

The Pamphlet is mainly about the layout of the Tokyo Big Sight and some information on those artists, together with some ads and introduction on coming new works like the movie Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. The issue is good but not recommended to download. But for those manias, it doesnt seem to be a problem. If you are one of them, click the link below.

We’re Using WordPress 2.7 now0

Just post info that we’re using the latest released version of Wordpress now. Kinda busy working on the new theme but it’s quite ahead of schedule right now. After reading the post of creating a Sole Proprietorship I grew little intention of making this site a CGM (Customer Generate Media) one which coincide with my original idea of creating this site. The most difficult point is the inability of coding since I have little knowledge on PHP and MySQL. Fortunately, Wordpress provides excellent plugins that enable the platform of expanding without requiring me coding and coding. Well, I will bring more on these stuffs.

To LOVE-Ru 2009 Calendar3

I’ve been busy theses day and seldom find time to write something. Good new for short, I’ve finished the CSS study, of course, the basic skills and concept, and start to come to the PSD design part which I think should be completed in few days. The new theme might come to effect late in the month or January of the coming 2009, not sure yet.
