Hiding deep in my RSS aggregator was this little gem:

Essentially, according to an interview in DTM Magazine (01/2009), the newest addition to the Vocaloid line will be bilingual! Yes, it will pull from both an English and Japanese database for it's words making it accessible to both Western and Eastern audiences! Other details include updates to the interface for English use, such as native English input, katakana input, and dual DBs in a single track. [needs verification]

Anyway, time to trowl Japanese book stores until I find a copy of that magazine. Spend Spend Spend!

Edit: Whoops, forgot to cite the Source

I really should stop going to Kinokunia during lunch. It sems i hemorage money every time I step through those doors... But the Biri-Biri figure that I got with my December issue of Dengeki Daioh is cute so I gues it's OK.

Crappy photo is crappy. Anyway, Miku has now taken up residence on top of my work computer, always looking down upon me with her angelic smile...

I am weak. Saw this at Kino and I couldn't resist. It also came with an ultra cute figure that I'll be setting up at work tomorrow.

Got this awesome Lucky Star Nyamo Pon Pon Ball with my issue of Comptiq this month (3 week delay from Japan release). Let's put him in fun places!

Looks like I got a new friend at the office... So the question is: should I set it up? EDIT: Damn white balance!

Blade magazine announced that Kozue Amano, whose manga Aria had recently ended, is returning to the magazine with a new yet unnamed work. From the looks of the preview image (above), the setting is going to be oceanside and possibly European influenced, much like her Aria comic. Aria fanboys worldwide finally breathe again knowing that there is a future, and the future begins in January, 2009.

Side Note: First post since my eye injury, probably won't be posting much until I fully recover.

Walking around after lunch we happened upon this garden. The sign outside said "Something Fishy" so we're wondering what's coming up...

Found at the Anime Festival... wtf

Alright, time to finish up with the doujin goods and move on to the official ones. Please note that the doujin goods I am posting about only make up a fraction of the actual amount of fan made product that is covered at Comiket.
