“Damn you, Jimmy Hoffa!”

Link of the Day [9.01.16]

Is it?

It is!

NewsRadio Quote of the Day Month has started! It’s been a long time. Like a year. Maybe this time I’ll get into it again, but the quotes are getting to be slim pickings.

Not much to say today. Just a link of the day. Several hours too late to make you click. But just click anyway.

You’re gonna need a translator for this one because I’m sending you over to a Japanese idol’s blog. A member from my favorite group, Nogizaka46. It’s Hina Kawago. She’s writing about taking over center for her kami-oshi, Mai Fukugawa who graduated from the group in June. Kawago-san is one of the least popular members of the group. Fukugawa was one of the most popular of the group. She’s beloved by the members, fans, and idol freaks. Kawago is not. So for her to reach center during a really important show it was awesome.

The first time I had read about her taking over center I teared up. Then reading her blog entry through Google translate I teared up again. I am really glad for her. It seems from the amount of comments the fans did too.

Chou zetsu kawaii, Kawago!

It took two weeks, but finally finished up the compilation anthology of Road & Kingdoms travel/food guide for Japan: Fish, Noodles, Rice — Deep Travels Through Japan’s Food Culture. Reading through it made me really want to go and travel Japan from tip to tip. From Fukuoka on the south island, Kyushu, to Hokkaido in the north, I want to travel and experience the food of Japan.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe someday…

Macross. That word warms my little otaku heart. I remember like it was yesterday. It came as the Robotech in the United States. Yet, there was more to it once you become an anime otaku. It’s got mecha. It’s got space. It’s got idols. It’s got music. It’s got a love triangle. You couldn’t beat it. And every other iteration features the same. Why can’t we get it in the States in its pure unadulterated form?

Macross.

I remember love…

Forty-six is not enough. Forty-six is too much. Forty-six is going to be a marathon. Forty-six. Nogizaka46.

They are going to do a 46 hour web cast marathon for their fourth birthday special. You can watch it for free this weekend by following one of the streaming sites on today’s link. I suggest you bookmark it, and then watch it with me starting Friday evening.

I am so psyched.
