Come On Now Really?

So I'm not near a computer all day and what do I find out when I get home?  That Berryz Kobo is going to Seattle for Sakura-con?  Seriously?  So that's how its goin down?  Not cool man.  Not cool at all.

Like ONE time UFA had a bad experience with managing at Anime Expo and now they like never want to come back here.  Not fair!!!!! I swear we'll be nicer this timeee.

So annoyed how Seattle-ites get to get their Berryz on, and not me.

[in the meantime, Raffi checks flight prices from CA to WA]

Holy crap.  Tickets to Seattle are like 200 bucks.  That's like awesome.  I did not expect that.  I think i'm going to spend more then that next week at HSU.  Okay...so maybe i'll consider going?  But, I don't want to go alone, and I don't know who will want to come with me.  Any takers?

I'm actually REALLY REALLY hoping that UFA will send out C-ute to LA for me this summer for Anime Expo or something?  Now that I think about it, C-ute FC tour is in Hawaii in March, so DOUBT they're gonna come back to the states in July.  SIGH SIGH SIGH.

I guess that means another year of no H!P live action for Raffi.

P.S: It was a joke people.  I wasn't trying to hurt the feelings.  I'm a nice guy!

Shining Baybay!

If the title confused you, then I will explain.  This post is about Berryz new single, Shining Power.  Lemme just tell you, this single is definitely a hit in my book.  I freakin love it.  I find it awesome that they are playing ping-pong.  I find it awesome that they are talking about bento boxes.  I find it awesome that their outfits are dark red and black.

I heard people rant a lot of crap about this PV when it first showed up, but I thought it was cool.  The girls look fantastic.  Yurina is lead in the song and PV.  She knocked my socks off.  She was fantastic.  I loved every moment of it.  Her being center just works so well for Berryz.  She's the tallest, has the best voice, and is just WOW.  In my opinion, she should be leader, and should always be center.

HSU Black Friday Sale

So last night, starting at 6AM, HelloStoreUSA had a Black Friday sale!  They didn't say exactly what they were going to have, they just mentioned that they would have "GREAT DEALS on brand-new Hello! Project towels, photo sets, and accessories." and "Sale items are marked down over 50% -- some as low as $1.00!"  With that in mind, how could I resist?

It made me really curious as to what they would have for sale, and when they say "brand-new," I was really hoping that some Rival Survival photosets would be discounted.  No luck there.

Being as ridiculous as I am, I stayed up until 6AM, doing who knows what, wondering what I could get my hands on.  When the clock finally hit 6, the sale began.  I wondered; "should I stay up till 6AM, or just wait till morning? Because hey, nobody's gonna start buying at the crack of dawn right?"  Wrong.  People were going at it like rabid monkeys.  What kept messing with my head was that whenever I added something to my cart, someone else got to the finish line before me, so the item was removed from my cart.  This happened like 5 times, which bothered me a lot.  I would have been home with 3 more Linlin photosets and 2 microfiber towels if I was faster.

Anyways, I am mostly happy with all the photosets that I got, because everything was about 70% off.  Each $8 photoset was $3, and so were the metallic ones.  I really didn't have time to think twice, cause every few seconds, something that I wanted was taken already.  Cool ne?

Here's what I ninja'd away with:
