(Vocaloids) Magnetic

At the ungodly hour of 3am, I am compelled to share this series of breathtaking melodies from the Vocaloid family.  I’m not entirely sure of the history of this song. It seems to have stemmed from a nico-nico video featuring sexy Vocaloids Hatsune Miku X Megurine Luka. The song itself seems to be about forbidden love between two people of the same sex. This particular video has spawned a dozen incarnations, pairing all the different Vocaloid characters (& more). I first noticed this whole “magnetic” craze when I saw this on Deviantart. But I didn’t realize the full extent of its awesomeness till I stumbled across a twit about the ‘boys-edition’ of this song.

Here’s the original video in HD:

The original with an English translation of the song:

The all-girls version:

AND THE EPIC ALL-BOYS CHORUS!!!

Be sure to read go to the original youtube page and read all the crazy comments that rabid fangirls left behind. ^^ Personally, I think the boys-edition of ‘Magnetic’ is the most sexxxxxxy.

(Nendoroids) 悪魔と弥子 Akuma to Yako

Neuro: Wahaha… … There has been no mystery for me to feed on lately as my useless servant Yako has been slacking off. It’s time to teach her a lesson.

(Nendoroid) Paper & Rin

Today I went shopping and brought home something special for my Nendoroids. =)

(Figma) Tsukasa’s Hatsukoi

Tsukasa: Ara? What is this strange feeling within me?

I picked up my belated Nendoroid Sebastian from KKnM today.^^ Finally a male Nendoroid!!!

(Events) Natsu Matsuri 09

Because I’m procrastinating, I’m going to do some belated photo blogging. =)

Starting with Natsu Matsuri 09. It was by sheer luck that I managed to get tickets from some dear twitter/lj friend of friends. And it allowed us to jump the queue and dive straight into the festivities.

This year’s event was blessed with clear skies and lovely weather! (A positive contrast to last year’s wet and dreary affair.) And because we could go in early, we managed to catch a glimpse of this awesome sky scape.

(Nendoroid) Neuro Nougami

Somehow, I don’t seem to have luck with male Nendos. (My pre-orders always screw up with ze MEN.) With the disappointment of Itoshiki Nozomu and Sebastian, I decided that it was time to be proactive and go get myself a man.

… well, not exactly. Since Neuro is pretty much a demon or 悪魔 (akuma) and basically genderless. =D Ambiguity!! Like Yukito/Yue from Cardcaptor Sakura! (Though Yukito/Yue isn’t exactly a demon… rather a gender-clueless guardian of the Clow.)

It was a tough fight between the Shota goodness of Vocaloid Len or the evil Neuro Nougami .

The rest of my Nendo family voted and it was 5 vs 1 in favor of Neuro-sama. Why the landslide victory for Neuro aka Tori-san? Because our dear Yako, the terror of the Nendo family, is terrified of Tori-san who had made her his human slave in their Anime/Manga incarnation!

(Nendoroid) Akuma Rin

Cream Puffs, Onii-chans & Nendoroid falling into Chilli sauce.

Today was an awesome day! ^^

(STGCC 09) Day 01

I made the above banner to make identifying Nendo-friends easier among the crowds at STGCC day #02. =) This design will be pasted on my lovely Nendo-carrier/travel case/luggage thing. So if you spot this just approach me and say “Hi!”. And now… onto a quick review of Day #01 of STGCC. (Some pictures were taken by Nyanko-sempai with his PnS, and some were taken with a D50 that had a psychotic Prime lens.)

(Nendoshoot) Rin, Yako & Azone Horo

I’m an avid follower of blogger Kodomut, who has established an impressive gallery of Nendo/Figma photography. While his army of figurines bask under the sun and embrace Nature, I find my little dollies hiding in the comforts of air-conditioned foodplaces trying their best to look good under fluorescence lighting. =D  The trend continues with this set of photographs.

(Nendoroid) Nagi

Remember the flowers from before? I thought I would reuse the materials from the bouquet and do a little something for poor neglected Nagi.It was also time to brush up my Photoshopping skills which have been gathering dust ever since FYP ended. =P

I used some lot of filters on this picture to create a soft and dreamy feel, with a tinge of melancholy.

For those who haven’t watch Kannagi, and aren’t acquainted with Nagi-chan here, the face she on Nendo Nagi is her ‘trance’ look. Nagi is actually a spiritual being of sorts and have been known to go into a trance. =) Forgive my lame description and go google instead.

With this picture, I want to make things a little happier and more ‘magical’. Hence the sparkles. =D

There are still some pictures in the lot and I’ll post them eventually. There are now two photoshoots to post but I’m lazy and will probably get around posting it when I’m in the mood.

In other news, the Wonderfest 09 (Summer) photos are up and it looks like GSC is out to bled my wallet yet again. The mystery of  the K-On! girls have been solved and it looks like Ritsu is going to be packed with an awesome drumset. I find it ironic that despite Mio’s popularity, Ritsu (the least loved of the quartet) is going to cost more than her bandmates due to her accessories. I’ll probably be getting the all for Nendos. I like Yui, Mugi and Ritsu enough to overcome my prejudice and get Mio to complete the meal.  Vocaloid Hatsune Miku’s alter egos look adorable too and I am tempted to get both Neru and Haku.

And in response to Kodomut’s comment in my previous post:

Thanks (to random deity) I have a job. ^^
