J's Chimes: What Now For Japan...?

With the nuclear crisis looming dangerously in grief-stricken Japan, all heads turn to the topic of what's gonna happen to Japan in the future to come. Am seriously sad that this had to happen but there's little one could do to avert this from happening. I really do hope the situation gets better soon, else all our worse fears will come... Japan is a wonderful place with wonderful people, may God protect them from harm.

J's Chimes: One Piece On Rails...

The popular manga known as One Piece which is enjoyed by both teens and adults alike now makes its way to the trains and stations of Japan. Seems like the craze wasn't really over yet with adverts and manga of One Piece all over it.


Not to mention having certain memorable parts of the manga pasted on the walls of the trains. Seen plenty of advertisements in our trains before but not something like this...


Posters are even erected at train stations about this popular manga. Darn, if I've known that One Piece is this popular, I would have read the manga...


More manga moments at signboards of the train stations in Japan...

J's Chimes: The Anime Master Card

When there's Mastercard, there's always an anime version of it somewhere in Japan. Called the Flower Master Card, supposedly used for purchasing of anime products and stuff at a store or something or maybe a videogame machine much like Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade. Looks pretty awesome doubt it be use for miscellaneous purchases of foreign products not related to anime...

J's Chimes: Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade

Only just notice that the Hatsune Miku Project Diva Arcade game is out in the video game centers. However much to my dismay, it cost a whooping $2 for a game... Kinda expensive though so am putting on hold first till it drops or that am prepared to play it...


Lots of posters and ads for this game somehow but it doesn't seem to be popular though... Didn't really see a crowd over there playing this... Perhaps my intuition is right... It is just too expensive...


Darn... I so wanna play this but somehow there's a huge crowd nearby watching other games so am overwhelmed... Especially so when ya have yet to play this game and everyone will watch ya play some crazy shit and lose horribly...


Basically it's kinda the same as Guitar Heroes or Dance Dance revolution or whatever ya might call it where ya try to sync your hits on the screen given... Except that this is given the Vocaloid mix and dance which looks really kinda cool. Ya can even buy the card to save your progress a SGD$7 each. Kinda expensive too if I do say so myself... And I wonder what does it have in stalled...


It has a headphone jack too in the middle so ya could insert your earpiece and hear the songs yourself which is kinda nice for privacy. Perhaps I should try it out soon and start givin some reviews soon... sigh, if only I can on this machine though...

J's Chimes: Japan Earthquake

Too big a news to not post... It seems our fellow comrades have met with devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunamis engulfing cities and ports. It is really saddening for such a disaster to happen but there's really nothing we could do to stop mother nature from taking its course. However what we could do is to help is by donating to these various organizations from the link here.


Tsunamis from the coastal areas reached mainland and swept everything in its path...


Refineries are set ablaze when the earthquake struck and ignite the fuels...


Small towns and cities are totally submerged in water...


The devastation resulted in tons of debris scattered all around the area. Rescue operations would be dampen and so would be the cleanup...


Coastal areas become a sea of mud and debris with nothing left but destruction in its path...

J's Chimes: Kimi Ni Todoke PV

The music video for the ever so popular animation titled Kimi Ni Todoke is finally out and at last, you've got to see the singer's appearance after hearing so much of this song... Titled Kimi Ni Todoke, this song has the same name as the anime and is one of the best this season. This PV also shows 3 different scenarios of separation which tends to get you all emotional...


And for those who don't know what is, here's the original ending theme from the anime Kimi Ni Todoke. Till now, this animation impresses me with all its music and songs used in it. Fitting for an emotional love story which is loved by many...

J's Chimes: Nendoroid Hatsune Miku

The other Nendoroid in which I so adore would be the Orchestra Version of Hatsune Miku. My friend bought it for me and I would really like to take this opportunity to thank him for that. In any case, this Nendoroid has gone up for grabs for as high as SGD$99 so it's pretty popular among fans and such...


And for some reason or another, her sleeves are made bigger to cover her chibi hands. Looks cute nonetheless and what's even more amazing that it has more joints than other Nendoroids on her arms, elbow, legs, etc so you could actually twist and turn to make more poses for her in anyway ya want.


the drums are the first thing I would wanna pose Miku with... So I got her to wear her sunglasses and stick her leet on both her chibi hands. Looks pretty cool with her playing the drums with vegetables.


Got her to play the keyboard just like Mugi from K-On! and gave her a new face-lit. Oops... forgot to roll up her sleeves though... But what the heck, this looks good still...


Somehow, 2 keyboards are provided for this Nendoroid and comes with black and grey. Guess Miku is spoiled for choice as to what to play on...


A loudhailer is even provided too... Just gonna change her looks and now it looks... strange...


Finally got to roll up her sleeves. Miku now plays with her recorder (English Flute) which is also provided in this Nendoroid series... It's kinda small though but manage to have her grab onto it...


My favorite would be this USB, VGA, 'whatever you might call it' attachment onto Miku's headphones. Reminds me of animes like Hand Maid May and the likes...
