[:Download "「Fly Away」" by THYME here:] J-pop band THYME gave us 2 great OP songs in a row. They are the hitmakers of To-Love-Ru’s “Forever We Can Make It!”. “「Fly Away」” is their current song which is the OP song for Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~. I really love the song and [...]

In life, not everything will go smoothly all the time; setbacks are bound to happen at some point or another, and sometimes they are strong enough to shake one’s beliefs or resolve. However, setbacks are not entirely negative in their outcome, for they serve as educational experiences; apart from teaching one about the limits of [...]

I’m really catching up on all of the things I’ve missed from the past week and hopefully, I would cover them all. First off is Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~. What I really love here besides the lushful backdrops is that it isn’t repetitive than what I thought it would be. [...]

So, we've hit episode four of Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Natsu no Sora, yet even by this series' own liltingly gentle standards, it has to be said that not a lot particularly happened in this instalment. The good news is that this episode does at least let us in on more of Gouta's back story, covering his family situation as well as hinting why he is, quite frankly, a bit rubbish at

 This is probably old news by now, but just to recap, Episode 4 of Natsu no Sora was pushed back due to a special on the recent earthquake that happened in Japan, which accounts for why there was no Mahou Tsukai article last week. In any case, the series picked up again from last week, [...]

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na koto: Natsu no Sora 1From Biei In childhood I was taught not to judge a book by it’s cover, to value the content greater than the presentation, to withhold prejudice on exterior outlook. Oh what bull this was! Everything is presentation. When you see a car advert, possibly the second biggest purchase [...]

The OP for Natsu no Sora, “Fly Away” by Thyme is just superb and I love it. It fits with the images shown in the OP, and gives me a nostalgic feeling. Anyway, although this series develops at a snail pace, it’s still really nice to watch, and we get to see many beautiful views [...]

Quietly anticipating many of the summer shows has left me nostalgic about the episodic-blogging nature of many of my posts before. I'm really missing it now, badly. I did mention that one of the reasons why I decided to blog was for some ego-boosting reason, but as I look deeper into my heart, I realize that my love for those shows was pure and genuine. My love for those shows are what really drove me to blog them (the attention seeking was a 2nd aim of some sort, which became one of the ultimate source of many of my silly blogging blues). After all that has happened, with me, and this blog, I'm suddenly feeling this surge of spirit revival at this stage in my life. I guess I have to thank Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ (which will just be called 'Someday's Dreamers Natsu no Sora' from hereon) and Natsume Yuujinchou for all this cheesiness.

Do you know how it feels like to have a gift that you do not want? For example, you are able to speak fluently and inspire people, but you are actually an introvert and hates to be the center of attraction. Even worse, because of your ability, people close to you starts to ostracize you, [...]
