As of when this post is published, I have been an seiyuu/idol fan for about six years now. While I did get my start from gateway things such as the Love Live and iDOLM@STER fictional franchises, I feel as though now that I have started to achieve ‘veteran status’, as cheesy as that sounds. Getting…

During my recent and on-going journey through the world of non anime/seiyuu-related Japanese idols, I’ve come across a bunch of cool groups. While most of them I have enjoyed and appreciated their talents, mainly through their music, I noticed that only a handful have truly resonated with me and gotten my full attention. Groups like…

While there are many examples that one could come up with, in my opinion, idols/pop groups are the epitome of the word “talent”.

Whether that be actually going to a theater near me and enjoying it with fans alike or simply just watching one at home (…sometimes in…

So I originally was going to work on/post a new Seiyuu Spotlight feature today about a wonderful voice actress but I got a little frustrated with some things and decided to put that to the side for now. In the meantime, I wanted to do another one of these write-ups/lists where I talk about some…

Hello and it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Recently, I got the urge to do another episode of my “nearly-dead” podcast/radio show-hybrid, chatterpasta radio. Basically, I talk about different otaku/Japanese culture-related topics while I play some cool songs (which some are requested by people on Twitter) to make it seem like it’s a radio show…
