The 300th post

This is the 300th post for this blog. Actually, over a span of about 3 years and 8 months, this works out to about 6.8 posts per month. However, for those who frequently visit this site, you will know that updates come as and when I feel like it. There were also prolonged periods of inactivity mainly due to work and study commitments. To put it simply, laziness is probably the biggest obstacle to me when it comes to updating my blogs. I usually need some motivation to get started especially when I have something which I'm dying to share.

Well, this wouldn't be a long post though because I just have some things to clarify in case you are wondering:

- Regarding synopsis / reviews of anime episodes for past series which I have been covering e.g. Hagane no Renkin Jutsushi or Suzuka or Yakitate Japan, it may be a bit difficult to catch up on that. Main reason being, my PC went dead so I lost the files of many anime episodes. Unless I have the motivation or resources to write those remaining reviews, chances are, I'll leave them as they currently are. Sorry to disappoint those who may still be waiting for a new update to those series.

- For newer series which I plan to cover e.g. Antique or Itazura Na Kiss, I will focus more on the review aspect rather than doing a full-blown synopsis. It is way too tiring and time consuming to do those detailed posts. To see what I mean by "detailed", check out episode synopses for the older series.

- Romaji song lyrics are up here because of one single reason: I like the song. Thus, it is almost impossible to get me to post the romaji lyrics of any song you may be looking for if I have never even heard of it or I detest it. Let's leave it to chance, if I happen to like that song, you will see it here. And the lyrics are mainly for people to learn the language or how to sing the song. If you want to post it on your site or your forum, I would appreciate a little notification. Thank you.

This may be a boring post to read but this marks the start of a new chapter in this blog's lifetime. As to how long this site will live or whether I will go into hibernation again before the 400th post comes around, I really cannot tell. Only time will tell.

Thank you for visiting this blog. Have a nice day! ^__^

Lyrics and melody: Kawabata Kaname / Douchin Yoshikuni / Taniguchi Naohisa

*Note that the OP is a faster version of the song while the ED is a sentimental number. Other than the tempo, the lyrics of side K and side D are slightly different. Side D is used as the ED and the romaji lyrics will be posted later.
