Future Gazer

Future Gazer by fripSide


Future Gazer debut! As a special treat before the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (日本名:とある科学の超電磁砲) OVA goes on sale this late October, Geneon Universal pleased to announced that the OVA theme song titled Future Gazer, sung by fripSide, is now here as a maxi single CD, allowing Railgun fans to listen to the theme song on the upcoming To Aru Kagaku no Railgun OVA. Of course, the ending theme song Special "ONE", sung by Elisa (you know her for singing two closing themes from Railgun) coming very soon late this October.

About this song, Future Gazer sounds good, it kinda felt like the two Railgun opening songs; only my railgun and LEVEL 5 -Judgelight-. The tune seems to be more of a techno and this truly lives it up in either fripSide or Railgun fashion. If you're sure now, there is a new song coming up from fripside, titled fortissimo-the ultimate class. Anyway, I'm not kind of familiar about the fortissimo song, but best to stick with Future Gazer, because this is how you get started before the Kagaku no Railgun original video animation arrives this late October.

LIMITED EDITION: The limited edition not just packs the music CD, but also a bonus DVD containing the music video of Future Gazer, plus behind the scenes footage on fripSide going to Egypt for the shooting of the Future Gazer music video. This thing's getting hotter but hurry up because the heat's losing up fast, or in other words, LIMITED AVAILABILITY! So better buy it before the heat's gone.

If Index gets its own PSP game, will Railgun gets it own?

With the success of the second season of To Aru Majutsu No Index, titled To Aru Majutsu no Index II, it seems we are getting anxious to watch more of Index II or even better, waiting for the PSP game of Majutsu no Index this winter.

Yes I know, this winter, To Aru Majutsu no Index fits straight to PSP, as a fighting game. Do we otakus really really like it?

For fans of the recently ended anime, now waiting for its OVA release, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, the question they asked is, "Will Railgun get its own PSP game as Index did?"

As of that, a certain 2channeler posted some magazine photo with a page containing the details.

A certain 2channeler photographed some magazine page about the Railgun PSP details

A certain 2channeler could be right. Kagaku no Railgun for PSP could be rather more of a visual novel game, with the decisions up to the player. Kinda like Misshitsu no Sacrifice, even better. On the teaser site, commercialization for this game starts this Spring 2011.

Hope I'll catch up to both of these!

Everyone's going to like them both because of Mikoto "Biribiri" Misaka!

Melai's tips to defend yourself, or self defense that is

On the October 9 episode of Banana Split, Balitang Siksik Showbiz Edition spices it up some showbiz news from the real to gagged, jokes fit straight to your newspaper, a sketch on getting a coffee to your boss in one minute, the Filipinos, Italians, and Japanese people come laughing with us in another Tongue Tarang Tongue, Ryan Bang shows us what's the meaning of Tae Kwon Do (and Tak Bow Na) in another Kaalamang Nakakahibang, some dances, John Prats explains what if the People's Champ take on new jobs, and of course, saving this before closing this show, a game called "Huwag Kang Lilingon!"

Oh and we forgot that our favorite wise-cracking advise giver, Melai Cantiveros, shows up for tips on how we defend ourselves, or self defense for short, in M3: Melai Mo Magwork. Melai shows us five crazy tips on self-defense. Weird but who knows, Melai Mo Magwork.

5) Rub your eyes to scare the hold-upper with SORE EYES?! (Ewww)

4) If you were from the province, when you're hold-upped, tell him that there's something behind him, put a bayong on the hold-upper's head and attack him the way you move. (Where's the bird?!)

3) Do a flying kick when you're hold-upped but don't attack the hold-upper yet. The super stinky socks will scare the hold-upper because of its super stinky scent. (Ewww)

2) Copycat the holdupper's words until he quits.

1) When you're hold-upped, show the hold-upper a scary photo on your wallet to scare the hold-upper away!

Thanks, Melai! ROFL

If we Filipinos love everything Korean, why GMA made a drama titled "Koreana"?

OK, we admit it. We Filipinos love everything that comes from South Korea. We like everything Korean like for instance K-Pop (Korean Pop) music, the Korean actors and actresses we saw on Korean TV dramas, Korean surplus TV sets, Korean foods such as kimchi, Korean-made Common Rail Diesel engines (CRDi, R-engine, e-VGT engine, those diesel engines coming out from those Kia or Hyundai models), Korean surplus vans such as the Grace, Starex, Besta, and Pregio, and others that are truly Korean.

If we Filipinos like us love everything Korean, then why did GMA decided to create a daytime TV drama titled Koreana?

Coming to air this Monday after Trudis Liit, Koreana centers on a tale of a young girl named Jenna, played by Kris Bernal, a Korean-Filipina who has a hope to return to her homeland to find her real family. There are two men who are revolving the story of a Korean-Filipina. First, there's Benjo, played by Rocco Nacino, and then, there's a half-Korean named Joshua, played by Steven Silva.

Expect everything Korean in this GMA-made daytime TV drama as it airs this Monday. If we Filipinos enjoyed everything came from South Korea, would we enjoy watching this new daytime drama?

Last night packs a bunch of cave people! (and some KTV gags)

Last night's episode of Lokomoko U packs not one, not two, but three parts of the sketch called "B.C. Bisihan" (remember since the Oct. 1 episode, where the cave people's invention of ladder gone jerked?) Well, last night, the cave people made up with the tawiran, the comb, and the invention of the fan. Seems that prehistoric never been this funny.

Aside from that, there were some gags at the Karaoke Bar, the eggs from the Usapang Itlog segment pokes fun about the days of the week (guess eggs hate Fridays because they're cooked!), a maid told her master that his cat was killed, and another round of Pinoy Brainless with JC De Vera and Rainier Castillo.

Oh, and I almost forgot about an episode of the Lokomoko U mini-drama titled Bahaw Ikalawang Hain, where Blue (played by Empoy) and the three blue-colored girls (Luningning, Milagring, and Mariposa) went to some bar that has Blue's name on it. On that part, Empoy, as Blue, sang his version of Don McLean's American Pie, called American Blue. Will Blue find life anew as a folk singer? Find out next week on Bahaw on Lokomoko U!

You guessed it, it's Cheche Bureche again.

On the October 8, 2010 episode of Bubble Gang, there was some boxer gags, the stunt man, ordering a bucket of beers, a Bubble Gang sketch takes on Survivor Philippines, titled Sure Bubble (no wonder Jackie Rice was the slowest), planting some ill feelings (sama ng loob), having fun with Moymoy Palaboy and Roadfill, a manlier martial arts training for men, and three drunk men.

Before the start of episode six of Cheche Bureche, I saw this message:

"Mula sa tradisyon ng mga mag-kaaway na kambal sa Philippine Television gaya ng Luna Mystika at Ilumina...

Narito na ang pinaka bagong bangayan ng half sisters na sina Cheche at Bureche!"

or in English:

"From the tradition of the twin rivalries of Philippine Television such as Luna Mystika and Ilumina...

Here comes the newest rivalry between the half sisters named Cheche and Bureche!"

Sounds catchy? What the fudge is Luna Mystika and Ilumina? I see, they're both TV dramas from GMA. OK, now on to this Cheche Bureche episode:

Cheche (Ogie Alcasid) is watching cartoons, while Bureche (Michael V) tries to slap Cheche, then Dad (Antonio Aquitania) comes home with some painting set for the half sisters. Dad said if whoever has a nice painting, deserves an ice cream.

With dad away, the two start painting art.

Look at Bureche's drawing:
Bureche's drawing


LOL, to think about Bureche's mean personality, she (he) drawn a picture of two tombstones? What the fudge? Bureche's drawing made me laugh!

How about Cheche's drawing?

Cheche's drawing

Cheche said it's so peaceful. So what? That's Cheche's personality, sweet and kind. But suddenly, Bureche does not like Cheche's drawing, so Bureche wants Cheche to ruin her drawing. Then, Dad is back, checking out the half sisters' paintings. Dad thinks that Bureche's drawing is too scary because of the dark color. Now, Dad wants to see Cheche's painting. Cheche can't because of the ruined painting, but she showed it up to Dad. Dad liked Cheche's ruined painting because of the artistic thing kids called it "Finger Painting" for sure.


Cheche's ruined drawing, liked by Dad
Cheche deserves a SPOONFUL OF ICE CREAM! Another week, another AAARRRRGGGGHHHH for Bureche! Makes me wonder if Cheche tries to said "but", Bureche says "wag ka nang mag but-but, i-but-but-but-in kita!"

No wonder Bureche's a mean person.

CR-Z or WRX STi 4-door? For me its...

Honda's first hybrid sports car, the CR-Z


and Subaru's return of the WRX STi 4-door


Both of these cars were JDM, both are sports cars, and both targeted for thrill-seekers. But as for me, which would I rather prefer?

CASE ONE: Since I was getting irritated by the noise coming out of those heavily modified Honda Civics, the CR-Z could be my perfect companion. Most men don't like the CR-Z because of its hybrid drivetrain, sports mode not good enough, and the question of "whatever happened to Honda's sport and specialty cars?" As for me, I like this sports car because its quiet. I don't want to modify this sport hybrid because with those, it will make the CR-Z too noisy and the noisy Hondas irritate me like a disturbed sleeper. I want to keep the CR-Z simple. Even when this sports car is boring, I still going to enjoy it because of its manual transmission. While Honda Cars Philippines has yet to decide when will this car hit our shores, I hope that Emperor Motorsports got the memo and bring the CR-Z as a grey market. If I own it, I promise not to mess it up, because the noise keeps it worse for me, especially the HKS Supercharger for the CR-Z.

CASE TWO: I am a huge fan of the Subaru WRX STi because of its boxer engine, Symmetrical AWD, manual transmission, and everything Scooby fans has to offer. I used to have fun with the WRX STi hatchback because this is fairly unique, but now with the return of the 4-door, things have change. The hatchback version's getting too old for me as the new 4-door version truly kicks it up! With the Nurburgring lap time of 7:55:000, there's no doubt that this is the fastest Subaru ever built. If I had one, would I keep the wing or not? You see, the huge spoiler on the WRX STi sedan truly shows its true self, while the WRX STi 4-door without the wing can be a total blah blah blah, but represents its luxury status.

Verdict: I only like the CR-Z because of its silence but I strongly prefer the WRX STi 4-door because of its awesome performance. I guess when someone reads this, he/she may go for the WRX STi 4-door because its fun to drive than the CR-Z. But let them decide. Its their call.
