<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Because of one comment chemistry posted on my previous Hiiro no Kakera post, I feel motivated to do this again.</p>
<p>(Also because I had to wake up due to a blackout and it was so hot that I can&#8217;t sleep now)</p>
<p>You can all go thank her.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Smilies/bloblaugh1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Be forewarned, though &#8211; my memory is a little fuzzy, and I wouldn&#8217;t explain the story much (as in the history factor and the role of the other characters) because it it VERY LONG AND VERY CONFUSING, but I&#8217;ll give a general gist of the storyline.</p>
<p>And guess what &#8211; I have beautiful CGs this time around thanks to, again, a Neoforumer who has very kindly sent me them. Thank you very much ^^</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0153-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="226" height="313" /></a></p>
<p>If I could only draw like that, I&#8217;d be very rich by now.</p>
<p>Anyway, as always. . . let&#8217;s hit it!</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">A Quick Rundown : Things You Should Know</span></p>
<ol>
<li> Tamaki is the descendant of Tamayorihime, a demon-slaying woman who killed the ultimate evil with the help of several beings who have pledged allegiance to her &#8211; the snake, the crow ( I think?), and the fox. There&#8217;s also the dog, but he does not play a major role in What Happened Eons Ago.</li>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0113.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p><em>Ancient Evil Demon</em><br />
<a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0115.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p><em>Ancient Guardians</em></p>
<p><em><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0114.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="300" height="224" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>Ancient Guardians Kicking Ancient Demon Butt</em></p>
<li> There are three teams to factor in during the game, and they are the Logos team, the Government team, and the Tamayorihime team (sounds like I&#8217;m playing football . . .) The Logos team are the supposedly evil ones, and the Tamayorihime team and the Government team are supposed to be in together to keep evil spirits from bay (apparently the Japanese goverment has a secret section that deals with magic and stuff like that). Keep in mind, though, that the evil ones aren&#8217;t always evil, and that the supposedly good ones are good. I think the only one without their own secrets is the main heroine.</li>
<li>In the present, Tamaki is the Tamayorihime, her grandmother was the previous Tamayorihime, Mitsuru is the Stepford Wife I mentioned, who turned out quite all right in the entire playthrough, her guardians Takuma, Suguru, Yuuichi, Shinji, Mahiro, and Ryou are the descendants/ reincarnations of ancient animals and demons,  and Aria, Eins, Zwei, Drei, and Vier make up the Logos team. So the playthrough is that the new Tamayorihime has to defeat the evil, Logos, who want to resurrect the Demon Sword by breaking the seals, which is a bad, bad thing &#8211; the demons now roaming around the village will get stronger and hurt innocent civilians aka the end of the world.</li>
</ol>
<p>So no pressure, Tamaki.<br />
Because I&#8217;m a firm believer in the otome adage that I always have to go after the prince (ie default main male protagonist), I went after Takuma first. This is Takuma as he first appears.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0135.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I was about to be very happy about this Prince Charming-style of appearing, but then he had to ruin it all by calling Tamaki an idiot and acting all impatient when Tamaki questions him about the appearances of strange creatures who want to kill her/them.</p>
<p>His route is possibly one of the most angst-ridden ones, as Takuma is the descendent of the original demon defeated eons ago. It is suggested that the original Tamayorihime may have fallen in love with the demon, but had to slay him in order to restore peace to earth.</p>
<p>So Takuma is your average macho tough but a softie inside guy, as he slowly falls in love with Tamaki but doesn&#8217;t show it. He can feel the changes going on within him as he slowly gets more and more into his demon blood side, and has in the course of protecting Tamaki, unleashed his inner demon.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0099.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, she calms him down by hugging him *everybody now, awww~*</p>
<p>He continues to trying to hide it and control himself, so that he doesn&#8217;t hurt Tamaki, but his inner demon gets so strong that he finally attacks Tamaki.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0083.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>So now she has to use a stronger tactic to calm him down . . .</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0082.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>xDDDD</p>
<p>I love the music that plays when she finally does that.</p>
<p>It turns out that Tamaki&#8217;s grandmother is secretly plotting with the members of the government to kill her only granddaughter, Tamaki, so that the Demon Sword will forever be appeased, and that all along, Mitsuru her helper was killing villagers to offer blood to the sword so that it doesn&#8217;t get stronger / angry(yes, I was confused too).  Apparently the blood of a strong Tamayorihime (ie Tamaki has to toughen up first and bring her Tamayorihime-ness to full force) will will be able to appease the sword for eternity as it thirsts for blood.</p>
<p>Actually, I&#8217;m not even sure whether that&#8217;s true, but that was what I perceived while going through the confusing terminologies.</p>
<p>All that I know it, Takuma turns out extremely cool in the end, when he risks all to protect Tamaki from the evil clutches of her grandmother (yeah, that&#8217;s why those who appear good in the beginning aren&#8217;t really that good in the end . . .), and the story takes a Romeo and Juliet turn when they try to sacrifice themselves for each other when the grandmother lied to them and said that whoever sacrifices themselves, the other gets to live.</p>
<p>What a  . . . GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.</p>
<p>So without letting each other know, they both decide to kill themselves and the grandmother was about to kill them when Mitsuru had a sudden guilt attack and stopped them, and told them of grandma&#8217;s nefarious plots.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I wasn&#8217;t very happy about the grandmother in the other routes.</p>
<p>But all&#8217;s well that ends well in Takuma&#8217;s route, and the story ends with Tamaki going back to the city while Takuma promises to wait for her in the village when she comes back.</p>
<p>I guess my favorite part in the entire story is while Takuma was running away with Tamaki from both Logos and Grandma &#38; Government team,  when Takuma was exhausted from battling all day and was ready to pass out, he was still ready to defend Tamaki when Mahiro and Yuuichi turned up apparently to turn them both in. His battle cry of how he will protect her almost brought tears to my eyes.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0084.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I swear, this game would make an excellent anime.</p>
<p>And yes, I&#8217;m biased, because I adore Takuma.</p>
<p>In Mahiro&#8217;s senpai&#8217;s case, who I went after next because his story corresponded with Takuma&#8217;s route, his deal is that he is the descendant of the crow, the animal who has always felt guilty because he was the only one who survived the massacre of the demon-slaying eons ago. In this story route, Mahiro was to sacrifice himself to the sword because he felt it was his duty as the &#8216;crow&#8217; to die, because he didn&#8217;t die along with his friends all those years ago.</p>
<p>All I can say is, it seems the game is saying that whoever Tamaki (ie I) go after, that&#8217;s the guy that has to suffer pain, anger, and self-conflict in the story route, because this story route made no mention of Takuma turning into a demon or whatever.</p>
<p>But I digress.</p>
<p>This is Mahiro-senpai as Tamaki first meets him. She mistakes him for a young grade schooler due to his looks and height (158 cm . .. and Tamaki is 160 cm xDDD)</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0133.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>His personality is pure teenage testarone as he goes on and on about beautiful women with big boobs (ie Fiona-sensei) and pretty much talks immaturely most times, though there are sweet moments when he&#8217;s nice to Tamaki.</p>
<p>I admit, I had some height-related biases myself as I&#8217;m not really into shotas in anime, but all was gone when he used this phrase that has me weak in the knees whenever some anime guy uses it.</p>
<p>&#8220;俺の女”</p>
<p>Which basically means &#8220;My woman&#8221;, aka referring to Tamaki.</p>
<p>I mean, that&#8217;s something I thought Ryou would use (more about Ryou later), but Mahiro! And that seiyuu of his makes it sound so much more better ^^</p>
<p>I know, it isn&#8217;t very feminist of me as the term &#8220;My woman&#8221; would refer to Tamaki being called something that belonged to him, but hey, rules are out the window when it comes to otome games.</p>
<p>AND I LOVE HIS SEIYUU.</p>
<p>I just wish Mahiro didn&#8217;t shout so much. I mean, even confessing that he liked Tamaki took some shouting.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;M DOING ALL THIS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well yes, that&#8217;s very nice and all, but you don&#8217;t have to shout at me <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>He makes up for it by doing this, though, after the shouting xD</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0081.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>And guys with wings will always get me.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0080.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, they resolve all problems (because I used a guide and picked all the right routes, rofl)and then next, I went after Yuuchi-senpai.</p>
<p>I personally like Yuuchi-senpai very much, not only because he is the descendant of the fox, but because he is the gentle, kind type, who is always there backing Tamaki and assuring her when she feels doubt, not to mention that he is the smart type.</p>
<p>IT IS NOT TRUE THAT GIRLS DO NOT LIKE NICE GUYS.</p>
<p>Of course it might have helped that Yuuichi-senpai looks like this.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0132.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Which is why, it is a sad, sad thing that Yuuchi&#8217;s &#8221;conflict&#8221; really got to me. Tamaki realizes that she is falling in love with Yuuchi (thanks to my guidance, xD) but Yuuichi pushes her away, because he feels that the Guardians and Tamaki are from different worlds. She is human, while he are not, therefore they don&#8217;t belong together.</p>
<p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned, if you look and act human, you are human. There are PLENTY of humans out there who act worst than animals, ya know.</p>
<p>Then when Tamaki tries to tell herself that they have no future together, along he does something like protecting her, thus confusing her feelings.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0089.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Not to mention mine. Like, hello, make up your mind, please!</p>
<p>Which he thankfully does, in the end, of course.</p>
<p>(And yes, it is true. The reviews for each guy is getting shorter. There&#8217;s only so much I can write about girl meets guy, guy and girl gets into conflict, conflict gets solved by chapter 6 or 7 and live happily ever after. I just need to write about guy, personality, conflict, ending and that&#8217;s it, without giving away too much).</p>
<p>The next target was Suguru-san, who was the oldest of the guardians, at 25.</p>
<p>Ah yes, the beauty of being a teen in an otome game. You can date people aged 14 &#8211; 35 and no one will think its weird that you&#8217;re dating someone almost two decades older or going for the kouhais in games.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0130.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I personally found Suguru&#8217;s story rather sad. His mother was one of those murdered to appease the Demon Sword (Actually I think it&#8217;s full name is Demon-Slaying Sword . . . I think), and he defected to join the enemy, while all in all his goal was to find out more about the sword in order to destroy it before it can cause more harm.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t like Suguru-san as much as I liked the rest, so I don&#8217;t remember his story beyond that point. I remember being particularly interested in how Suguru-san would be portrayed when his inner blood came into play (he descended from the snake) but fortunately (or unfortunately, depending how you looked at it) he just got some very cool signs appearing on his face instead of turning into an actual snake.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0045.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I only remember he was v. v. cool at protecting Tamaki when one of the Logos attacked her, but of course not as cool as Takuma (biasedness coming into play . . ) One of the other things I found irritating, though, was HIS HAIR. PLEASE, GET RID OF THAT FRINGE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FOREHEAD. IT IS NOT COOL.</p>
<p>Ahem. Excuse me.</p>
<p>One of the things I found funny about Suguru&#8217;s route is that he didn&#8217;t have an obligatory bath scene like in the other routes. There was a chapter where the guardians would stay over at Tamaki&#8217;s place, and Tamaki would run into them in the bathroom (Takuma and Mahiro, Yuuichi and Shinji, Suguru, and Ryou) while having some very ero /BL thoughts, but only Suguru&#8217;s so-called bath scene was the only one without the topless thing going on.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0104.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>This is Suguru-san. It bothers me to go after a guy who is prettier than Tamaki x.X</p>
<p>Last, but not least, out of the Guardians that I targeted, was Ryou.</p>
<p>I LOVE RYOU.</p>
<p>In proper fangirl terms, he is a Smexy Psycho.I mean, hello, this is his introduction to the heroine!</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0112.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>I was immediately intrigued.</p>
<p>Okay, in real life I&#8217;d probably have slapped him and called him all sorts of unflattering names under the sun, but in this game. . .</p>
<p>&#8220;HELLO! WHO IS THIS SEXY PERSON?!?!&#8221;</p>
<p>Almost like a secret character, Ryou does not actually appear until Tamaki makes the right choices. It turns out that Ryou is the actual descendant of the dog, and due to some switches at birth, Shinji ended up taking his place in the Guardianship. So all their lives, Shinji was duped to believe he was the descendant of the dog who helped the original Tamayorihime, while Ryou nursed a burning vengeance against Tamaki&#8217;s grandmother and the  stuff she did like killing people to appease the sword.</p>
<p>Like his ancestors, Ryou has. . shall we say, a very strong sense of smell, and he says that Tamaki smells nice.</p>
<p>Yeah, I had Inuyasha flashbacks too.</p>
<p>But Ryou is more mature than Inuyasha, and doesn&#8217;t have the extra baggage of Kikyo to carry around.</p>
<p>Ryou scored extra points with me when he proclaimed things like he would only be loyal to Tamaki, even after denying that he is a Guardian for ages, and would only protect her.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what is it with this protecting thing, but keep it going. I LOVE IT.</p>
<p>And yes, the phrase guaranteed to win me over appeared.</p>
<p>&#8220;俺の女”</p>
<p>Actually, he didn&#8217;t even have to say it, it was just so obvious in his actions. Plus his bath scene was very, very . . . intriguing. xD He practically invites the heroine to join him in the bath.</p>
<p>In Real Life : Potential Sexual Harassment Lawsuit</p>
<p>In Otome Game : *Jaws drop, then continues on like nothing happens*</p>
<p>Ryou, due to his aggressive nature, doesn&#8217;t get along very well with the other Guardians, but he is very nice, if possessive, of Tamaki.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0071.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>My only grouse about Ryou&#8217;s route would be that IT WAS TOO SHORT OF CGS.</p>
<p>But they seriously made up for it in the sequel. xD</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t play Shinji&#8217;s route because I was bored of the repeatedness by then, but his route looks pretty cool if you want the answers to tie up every thing in the story &#8211; which I didn&#8217;t. xD I don&#8217;t know, Shinji never did appeal to me (maybe this is my ageism coming into play, as Shinji is the only one younger than Tamaki).</p>
<p>Anyway, even though I&#8217;ve felt like I typed a lot, I really am just grazing the surface of the beautiful game called Hiiro no Kakera (note that I made no mention of the Logos and their stories or the governmental people, which really occupies a big part of the game) and the best part about the DS version is that Hiiro no Kakera sequel featuring our lovable heroes is also available, where you can give Valentine chocos, have event CGs, and most importantly, the sequels to the story routes in the game.</p>
<p>My only complain would be the sound quality of the DS, but I guess you can&#8217;t have everything *shrug* but all in all, Hiiro no Kakera is a good game.</p>
<p>SO GO PLAY IT.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;m going to take my own advice and do so now ^^</p>
<p>COMING UP NEXT : Skip Beat! impression, My World, My Way impression . . . but probably not until next month.</p>
<p>P.S. Oh, and Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day to you all while I&#8217;m still on time xD</p>

<description><![CDATA[Some of you might recall during a certain post of mine, I said I&#8217;d say goodbye to otome games ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/0135.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p>Some of you might recall during a certain post of mine, I said I&#8217;d say goodbye to otome games with historical/magical elements in it for now, since they all like to use confusing terminologies and kanjis that have my head spinning like a washing machine.</p>
<p>I did try, really. But the call of Hiiro no Kakera DS proved too hard to resist . . .</p>
<p>and so now I&#8217;m knee-deep in a game of which I understand f-all.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Smilies/chirolp_ehe.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Although to my surprise, I did understand more of Hiiro no Kakera than when I first attempted Asaki, Yumemishi. Whether it is because of my Japanese reading improving, or that I did more research on Hiiro no Kakera, or that Hiiro no Kakera is easier to play than Asaki, Yumemishi, I don&#8217;t really care, because I get to enjoy the game more, haha.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/KasugaTamaki.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>The heroine is a 17 year old girl named Kasuga Tamaki (height: 160cm, birthdate: 6/28, horoscope:cancer, why: don&#8217;t ask me, her stats are written on the main web, though her weight isn&#8217;t) who revisits her grandmother&#8217;s village to stay there semi-permanently because her parents have to work overseas.  The game starts with her monologuing about how she used to always visit her grandmother&#8217;s village as a child but at some point in time stopped going (probably due to parents&#8217; heavy workload, I&#8217;m guessing).</p>
<p>While walking along the hillsides waiting for the person who her grandmother sent to fetch Tamaki to the village, Tamaki comes across a small, white round object with sticks for limbs, rofl, and talks. It runs off soon after, with Tamaki chasing after it (small white round object is rather cute) and soon Tamaki finds herself in a place where &#8216;it doesn&#8217;t feel like the world I came from&#8217;. She gets attacked by three slime creatures, and what do you know, some guy comes charging in to save her . . . by clamping his hands around her body and mouth and telling her to be quiet as he saves her.</p>
<p>Well. Prince Charming on white horse standards have slipped, I guess.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/OnizakiTakuma.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Said Prince Charming is Onizaki Takuma <span style="font-weight:normal;">(<span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">鬼崎拓磨) who, incidentally, is the guy Tamaki&#8217;s grandmother sends along to fetch Tamaki.  And now let me reiterate one of the foremost otome game rules : the main guy is always, always the FIRST or SECOND guy the heroine meets in a game. After he saves her, on the route along to the village, Takuma alternates between resentful and reluctant and gives a convoluted explanation on what they had seen earlier, saying the slimes are actually a kind of &#8216;deity&#8217; or &#8216;god&#8217; but is not the God that Tamaki is thinking off, but both are from the same world, etc, etc, etc, thus making Tamaki one very confused girl.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">Yeah, I&#8217;m confused too, but I get the general gist. Moving along, Tamaki arrives at her grandmother&#8217;s place, which is incidentally like a shrine with living quarters. Tamaki meets her grandmother, who explains that Tamaki is a descendant of the 玉依姫、 or Tamayorihime, a line of women who are assigned the task of sealing a dangerous sword, to keep the balance of the world of humans and world of deities in check. In essence, the game is about city girl gets swept up in supernatural village disasters, with a grandma who has a dark secret and grandma&#8217;s assistant, who looks and act like a junior version of Stepford Wives.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">The girl has conveniently five guardians to help her cope with the task, all of them from families with past connections to the Tamayorihime, to help her in the task, of course. Takuma is one of them.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/AtoriMahiro.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/KomuraYuuichi.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/OomiSuguru.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/InukaiShinji.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>And here are the rest, in order of how she meets them<span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">, Atori Mahiro (</span></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">鴉取真弘), Komura Yuuichi (</span></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">狐邑祐一),</span></span>Oomi Suguru (<span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">大蛇卓), and Inukai Shinji (</span></span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja">犬戒慎司</span><span class="t_nihongo_comma" style="display:none;">,</span> ).</span><span style="font-weight:normal;"><span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja"> </span></span></p>
<p>A quick recap of the guys :</p>
<p><strong>Onizaki Takuma</strong> : Your typical guy who is mean to the heroine from the get go, but is really quite a nice guy inside. Surprisingly, he is quite nice to the Stepford Wife, which has Tamaki monologuing about the differences in behavior he exudes to her (i.e. always calling her &#8216;baka (馬鹿)&#8217;).</p>
<p>It&#8217;s okay, Tamaki!  You know what they say, fighters always become lovers in the end !</p>
<p><strong>Atori Mahiro </strong>: Tamaki&#8217;s &#8217;senpai (先輩)&#8217; at school, but she first mistakes him for a grade schooler due to his looks and height : he looks like a kid, while his height is 157 cm, 3 whole centimeters shorter than the heroine lol. He makes up for it by having a deep voice that doesn&#8217;t go with his body, and a healthy boy&#8217;s testosterone regarding women.</p>
<p>His quote : &#8220;Why can&#8217;t the Tamayorihime be Fiona-sensei (some hot blonde blue-eyed big-chested English teacher at their school) . . . it&#8217;ll be great protecting a beautiful woman.&#8221;</p>
<p>He can be frequently caught staring at said teacher or talking about how great beautiful women are, much to the chagrin of the other guardians and Tamaki.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Smilies/chirolp_baku2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Komura Yuuichi </strong>: Tamaki meets Yuuichi in the library on her first day in the village school, and he&#8217;s the mild type, quite mature, who is pretty kind to the heroine compared to Takuma and Mahiro. I quite envy him his ability to sleep whenever wherever at the drop of a hat. He can doze off anywhere, so sometimes when Tamaki talks to him he&#8217;s not listening, except perhaps his subconscious . . .</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Smilies/bloblaugh1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>
<p><strong> Oomi Suguru </strong> : The oldest of the bunch, at 25, Oomi-san is the quintessential ’megane (眼鏡)&#8217; character who is smart, loves tea, and is very kindly to Tamaki. Obviously, because he wears glasses, he is also a bookish individual.</p>
<p><strong> Inukai Shinji </strong> : The youngest of the bunch, at 15. Tamaki doesn&#8217;t meet Shinji until much later, as he had gone off somewhere to train his skills, but he came back when he heard the Tamayorihime was there to protect her *awwwwww*.</p>
<p>My favorite moment of Shinji, besides when he first met Tamaki and saved her when she slipped and fell, would be when he said that she was prettier, after protesting his relationship with the Stepford Wife, who he said was cute, but you know, Tamaki is . . . pretty too!</p>
<p>Of course, the other three school-goers had to spoil it by saying that Shinji&#8217;s taste (in women) were awful.</p>
<p>@#%#$^$&#38;#&#38;$*#!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, the game is separated into chapters, like a storybook (well I GUESS it IS a visual novel), and on behalf of Tamaki, 3 &#8211; 5 choices have to be made per chapter to decide which guy will alter the course of Tamaki&#8217;s future. A wrong choice can result in &#8216;game over&#8217; faster than you can say Jack Robinson, and your school best female friend and the Stepford Wife would appear to give you advice on what have you done wrong, and ask you to restart (This is feeling more and more like Asaki, Yumemishi, only in Asaki, Yumemishi you get Taniyama Kishou telling you to come and get him instead in the next playthrough).</p>
<p>So far I am on Takuma&#8217;s route, and have yet to meet the sixth character even though I&#8217;m in Chapter 4, but what I can summarize so far is . . .</p>
<p><strong>SUMMARY</strong></p>
<p>1. Tamaki gets a lot of headaches. Particularly when their enemies, the &#8216;Logos&#8217;, go after one of the five sacred objects that are in place to seal the sword and keep the world in balance.</p>
<p>2. Tamaki is pretty weak. Well, city girl, and all. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be more powerful in the end.</p>
<p>3. The guys are stronger than Tamaki but less strong than the &#8216;Logos&#8217;. They just got their a$$ handed back to them in the 2nd fight, and currently they (Takuma and Mahiro) are being emo about it, saying that &#8216;it is not all right&#8217; when Tamaki exclaims relief that they seem to be unhurt.</p>
<p>Geez. The ingrates.</p>
<p>4. Tamaki&#8217;s grandmother and the Stepford Wife appear to be in cahoots to reawaken Tamaki&#8217;s Tamayorihime&#8217;s-ness, and to use her in some way. Apparently Tamaki&#8217;s mother escaped her Tamayorihime duties before . . .</p>
<p>5.  I want the other Hiiro no Kakera games. Playasia, here I come.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m taking Hiiro no Kakera pretty slowly, compared to my Tokimeki-fueled crazed or Otometeki craze. Usually visual novels send me to sleep, and this one . . . is not really an exception, but the plot is interesting enough (and the guys, of course) to keep me playing the game.</p>
<p><a><img src="http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/chocochell/Hiiro%20no%20Kakera/KutaniRyou.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" width="157" height="227" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;ll still be playing this until I meet the sixth character. He . . . intrigues me in the OP.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>You&#8217;re a spider</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>And I&#8217;m caught.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">I love this song. Well, where the lyrics are from XD It&#8217;s Spider from &#8216;capsule&#8217;, they are awesome~! Anyways, it&#8217;s nearing 3 in the morning but I felt like making an update post. Some interesting things I guess. So, let&#8217;s get to it!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">i n t r o ; ; ;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- <strong>Ookawa Genki</strong>, <strong>Hayashi Shuji</strong>, <strong>TAKUYA</strong>, and <strong>Yagami Ren</strong> will be in a&#8230;urm..Stage play? I think so. Yeah. It&#8217;s titled <strong>[K]</strong>. Haha, Shuji says he&#8217;s glad Genki and TAKUYA are going to be with him. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- <strong>Itazura na Kiss</strong> started! All the luck to Katou Ryouske and Yagami Ren on this one! Though in the cast list on the OHP, Kazunori Tani is listed there&#8230;Hmmm&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- The fittings for <strong>Hiiro no Kakera</strong> were a few days ago and you can go check out some of their outfits on Kawakubo Yuuki&#8217;s blog! He&#8217;s looking really good&#8230;.I wonder how Tani looks in his uniform lol</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- FINALLY. Something on <strong>[Beat Rock ★Love]</strong>!!! Well for those who haven&#8217;t seen Araki&#8217;s blog, he posted a picture of his new hair, which is lighter, and his cute VK makeup. LOL Oh man, I&#8217;d so hit it. Here&#8217;s a picture:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><a href="http://nosuya.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/beatrockaraki.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-574" title="beatrockaraki" src="http://nosuya.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/beatrockaraki.png" alt="beatrockaraki" width="240" height="321" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">&#60;3 As for the rest of the cast members&#8230;Nothing. :&#60; I checked all their blogs and there&#8217;s no other updates. Kento doesn&#8217;t even have a PC blog (mobile only right?).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- Oh god I lol&#8217;d so hard but um&#8230;<strong>Wada Masato</strong>(Tenimyu&#8217;s Sengoku) will be a guest in the jdrama &#8216;GIRAGIRA&#8217; in episodes 7 and 8. As a host of course. Here&#8217;s 2 pictures:</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">LOL</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Okay here&#8217;s the other one:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><a href="http://nosuya.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/wada2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-576" title="wada2" src="http://nosuya.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/wada2.jpg" alt="wada2" width="241" height="322" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Little more serious. XD</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">o u t r o ; ; ;</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>[THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS ON &#60;&#60;a&#62;&#62;symmetry] !!!!!Skip to the end for a quick post recap!!!!!!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">That&#8217;s all!</span><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> Uh, well I watched &#60;&#60;a&#62;&#62;symmetry which had Hirofumi Araki and Wada Masato. </span><span style="color:#ff00ff;">And well&#8230;I liked it at first but the ending was quite disappointing. </span><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Here&#8217;s the movie summary-thing..err..by me. XD</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Hokuto(</span><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Wada) and Shin(ichirou)(Araki) were high-school friends who were both photographers. One day they both decide to join a photo competition but Hokuto doesn&#8217;t really want to do it, cause he thinks its pointless. But they do it anyways. Shin likes Hokuto but he doesn&#8217;t tell him so Shin gets really jealous when Hokuto ends up winning the competition&#8230;and also the attention of the girls. The next day, Hokuto finds his winning picture ripped off of the bulletin board and shredded and the blame is automatically put on Shin. When Shin gets confronted about it, they have a huge argument and Shin throws his camera, breaking it. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Uhh from there&#8230;Shin leaves for America suddenly and Hokuto never sees him again. But, before Shin left, he met Hokuto once more on the rooftop of the school&#8230;giving him a kiss. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">SKIP TO A FEW YEARS LATER!!! Hokuto&#8217;s girlfriend(who I hate) is in the hospital and one day when he visits, he gets to meet her doctor&#8230;Which is Shin(I&#8217;m sure bricks were shat). Of course it&#8217;s awkward and they try to stay away from each other as much as possible. Eventually, Hokuto asks Shin to some ramen just for old times sake. And from there&#8230;.Shin takes Hokuto to&#8230;.a gay bar. I bet you were expecting me to say his house. LOL Nope, he takes him to a gay bar. Needless to say, Hokuto&#8217;s pretty surprised when Shin confesses that he&#8217;s gay. More awkwardness for Hokuto.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Then, right before Hokuto&#8217;s girlfriend&#8217;s surgery he gives her a ring. That eventually Shin finds and takes. When she finds it missing, she&#8217;s obviously saddened about it(don&#8217;t really care lol) but Hokuto tells her its okay. Hokuto then pays Shin a visit at his home, only to find him sick in bed. He also finds his girlfriend&#8217;s missing ring. Ohhh drama. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Hokuto then confronts him about the ring and asks him why he has it. Shin starts crying(I almost did too ;^;) and starts yelling, saying stuff like &#8220;Shut up! I&#8217;m a doctor and what do YOU do?!&#8221; &#8220;I always wanted to forget you but why&#8217;d you have to come before me again&#8230;&#8221; and it gets really sad. :&#60; Hokuto doesn&#8217;t say anything else and just leaves. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">The next day, Hokuto&#8217;s boss(?)/co-worker(?) asks him to help with a story he&#8217;s going to be doing.(forgot to mention that Hokuto works at a magazine company). The story is something about the gay bar that Hokuto went to with Shin. The story ends up being published which causes problems for the bar. Skip a few scenes and it comes to a scene of Hokuto and an old high school friend of his and Shins&#8217;. Hokuto finds out that he was the one who ripped it and not Shin. :O SURPRISSSSEEE!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">So then, I think from this point on&#8230;It kind of got confusing for me. Kinda. But anyways, Hokuto&#8217;s girlfriend goes to Hokuto&#8217;s house telling him that Shin&#8217;s going to transfer to a different hospital and she tried to give him his ring back but he tells her to keep it. Then Hokuto goes to the hospital to see Shin and they meet on the rooftop. Shin says he thought about taking up photography again and Hokuto changes the subject and asks him not to go. Shin doesn&#8217;t&#8230;say anything and in the end..He just&#8230;leaves. I don&#8217;t know if he leaves to go to another hospital or..just&#8230;goes back to work. O.o</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">That&#8217;s the part I hate. What is with these damn BL movies/dramas and their shitty endings!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">I mean, BoysLove 1 = Takumi dies, BoysLove2 = Yuuki dies/Atsumi is in a wheelchair, Renai Shindan Arc 1 = Tomo is beat up so bad he&#8217;s in a wheelchair, Renai Shindan Arc 3 = Ryuunosuke dies, and Kindan no Koi = Ryousuke dies. STOP DYINGGGGGGGG~!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">The only good ends were..Takumi-kun series and Ai no Kotodama&#8230;I think that&#8217;s all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">._.;; No more bad ends pleaseeeeee~!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Well, this post is long enough. XD It&#8217;s now 4AM so I&#8217;m going to bed. Night everyone~!</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">tl;dr &#8211; I update and I post summary of &#60;&#60;a&#62;&#62;symmetry and bitch about BL movies.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">おやすみ(＾ε＾)－☆にゃ!</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Yay SuG songs/lyrics. Lol, yeah&#8230;good stuff. Anyways, finally an update! I&#8217;ll try to do this once a week so that everything is updated but if I forget&#8230;woops! Haha, well&#8230;Let&#8217;s get started shall we?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Sutaatoooooo:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- <strong>Beat Rock★Love</strong> ; It has begun!! ;D Since none of the cast members BESIDES Araki-kun have updated about the movie so far, I suggest taking a look every now and then at his blog. According to Araki&#8217;s blog they had a meeting on 11/8! Also, Araki says that he&#8217;s going to have to dye his hair lighter for his part..Mm&#8230;Makes me curious. I just imagined Araki with blonde hair and various other hair colors. XD I wonder about Genki, Renn, and Kento-kun? -imagines them with vk-ish hair- nfu~</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">- Airu and Shunri have started practice for <strong>Rhythmic Town</strong>! :0</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">And that&#8217;s all for updates! It&#8217;ll be edited if otherwise~</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">In other news, my life is going to start sucking ass. I have this cousin and she&#8217;s very&#8230;well, let me put it this way. We&#8217;re complete opposites. I&#8217;m kind of nerdy&#8230;okay, really nerdy and dorky and kind of tsundere-like(so says my friends) and I cosplay and I&#8217;m kind of tomboy-ish and I like musicals and plays and I like learning&#8230;.And she&#8217;s&#8230;so&#8230;materialistic! She rather shop than go to school, she&#8217;s that type of girl who wears short skirts/shorts in the middle of winter and takes 300+ pictures of herself and uploads ALL of them to her website. Trust me, I&#8217;ve seen it. And for god&#8217;s sake she used that stupid &#8216;blingie&#8217; shit. FUCK. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">And the who point of that was&#8230;She&#8217;s going to be living with me. FOR A YEAR. And my mother says I have to share my room with her! HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK?! I might have to kill her. ;^; Erin Erin Tasukete Erin~</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">I was dreading the second my mom told me the news cause I overheard her and my grandpa talking about it..Damn it, I just had to get the annoying one. I bet she&#8217;d go through my shit the second I left the room. I BET. She&#8217;s just that nosy. And I have all my figurines and posters and things that I treasure most in here&#8230;If she even touches a single possession of mine&#8230;I hate it when people touch my things without asking me first. I just completely hate it with a passion. Once, a friend of mine drew a smiley in my planner without asking and I yelled at her. That&#8217;s how bad it is. Mina says I have OCD.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">It&#8217;s the only thing on my mind right now. Because she&#8217;s coming here in Dec. I mean, I know my mom&#8217;s happy because she gets to see her sister and all that stuff. But..man, DOOUUUSHHIITTEEEE~? I get to get out of the house more, sure great, but&#8230;..-sigh- A friend of mine asked me if we ever got along. And I realized that..we never did. Even when we were little, we pretty much hated each other. I tried being nice to her last time I saw her but she didn&#8217;t even cooperate with me. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">:&#60; Other than that, I don&#8217;t have school on Tuesday so I&#8217;m going shopping for some cosplay stuff. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">EDIT: oh yeah. I dyed my hair. Here&#8217;s an awesomely shopped picture of me:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><a href="http://nosuya.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/100_4384.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-560" title="100_4384" src="http://nosuya.wordpress.com/files/2008/11/100_4384.jpg" alt="100_4384" width="151" height="202" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Well&#8230;If you&#8217;ve seen me cosplay, then you should already know what my face looks like. XD This picture makes my hair look 10x crazier. :&#60; It&#8217;s not really that bright&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Anyways,<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">I&#8217;ll see you guys later~!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">おやすみ(＾ε＾)－☆にゃ!</span></p>
