Yeah! Meccha Holiday

Unlike Churi, I'm not going to Indo, nor high-rolla enough to book business class.
With these perks, I wish I was an idol...
So that I can actually make use of my overly long 6-7 month break (since last November) before I start full-time employment proper, I'll be leaving this week to go overseas over the next 1.5 months. Part of this trip involves some time in Japan, mostly around April.

When I arrive in Japan for a bit more than 3 weeks, I'll keep this blog updated with my adventures.

A Selection of Songs from Stages


I was having a brief browse through the Top 100 of Stage48's 2012 48-group Song Ranking. Needless to say, the results were a fairly predictable affair, especially when one drills down to the Top 30 and below, which was, to describe it aptly, a single-fest. Notably few and far between were songs from their vast stage collection. That got me thinking: how many of the majority who have voted have listened to studio recordings of the stages, let alone watching any? I suspect less than half, and those would comprise of the more "experienced" and regular fans within the fandom. (Not trying to stroke any so-called "elitist" tendencies here, I might add, but the results show for themselves).
