An official promotional poster from Japan for Tekken 5 featuring Asuka Kazama.  A very fitting first image.

In 2013 I wrote a 27 part Fan Fiction on the Anime series K-ON! Now it’s time for another—yet shorter Fan Fiction on another Japanese-made interest of mine; that being the video game Tekken.
I tried to choose characters that would bring interest to all readers; however, it is my story, so I have chosen the main character to be my favorite, which is Asuka Kazama. (Ah’s-ka Kah-zah-ma). I find using her in the game to be easy because she has the best balance …

Have you ever wondered if it was possible? I mean, why not? When you rise to a certain level, your circle gets smaller and smaller. Those who aren’t your enemies are your allies. But what happens when those lines get blurred, when you’re so superior to everyone that there’s almost no one left on your level to pique your interest? When the average mortal pales in comparison? Who do you look to in those lean times when it’s slim pickins in Metropolis… or Gotham…?

Here is a fan trailer which answers all those questions. I give you, Man of Steel 2: …

Let’s face it, aging can be frightening, however it creeps into our lives so gradually, we hardly recognize it.  Until that awakening moment we meet each other in the mirror that once reflected that insatiable beauty of our youth.  During our youth, we may be unable to detect the envy of those older than us, of our fearless outtake on life.   In this short film, Vienna Waits For You, directed by Dominik Hartl, may bring to life that what we may perceive, as things that possess our future.  Those possessions that reoccur in our lives, in which others may …

So, my friends, another season of Walking Dead has come to an end but fear not, because Season 4 of A Game of Thrones starts this Sunday. In preparation for the new episodes, I have been going back to HBO on demand and binge watching the first three seasons of the show and I’m so glad, too.

Because I love the show so much, I have decided to wait on reading the books and the comics, too, which I have been collecting since they first came out. Even though it seems from the covers that the comics are a little behind …

What a beautiful picture. From left to right: Tsumugi, Ritsu, Nodoka and Mio. Yui is in the front. I have no idea what the Ema’s that they are holding say, hopefully nothing bad!

Although the fan fiction of “Dust in the Wind” and “Beautiful World” has ended, this is the last piece of story; enjoy!

K-ON! NEW YEARS SPECIAL!!!!!!

As she walked through the airport on tired legs, Miho shrugged her guitar bag that was over both shoulders—it contained the vintage Gita that once belonged to Yui Hirasawa; given to her about twenty years ago. Miho had to replace the electronics, …

The cover of my–soon to be–self published, vanity fan fiction. I can’t sell it, but I can enjoy holding it in my hands.
Enjoy the final part of my fan fiction and thanks to everyone who read it, it was a labor of love!

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” the old friends gathered and Yui gave her precious Gita to Nao’s daughter Miho—who would ever think Yui would part with her beloved guitar? Now in this final chapter, the girls play the Budokan realizing their dream in…

Featuring the six Manga books; top row: Yui, Mio, Ritsu, bottom row: Tsumugi, the girls in college and Jun, Azusa and Ui as Seniors in high school. Very fitting for the next to last chapter.

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” Miho and her Light Music club’s band ‘Vintage 5’ performed at their school culture festival revealing a surprise to Nao that Miho was able to learn English. Sumire had a surprise of her own, telling the girls that their high school dream of playing live at the Budokan would now be a reality. Now, as old friends gather for the …

Another group shot of the original girls from the Manga—it looks official to me, so I’m sticking with that! Back row: Mio and Tsumugi, Front row: Ritsu, Azusa and Yui. Why such a basic cover piece? Well, this chapter can only have a picture if someone draws it for me, so no hope there…But, this is a written piece, so enjoy!

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” the girls discover what their new found fame meant to them and became charitable in many ways. Now the spotlight is on Miho as she and her friends in the Kaganui Family Girls School; …

A bit of mishmash, this is an SG—made by Epiphone and not Gibson, it is created in almost the same way as Nao’s vintage guitar. The sweat towels feature Ritsu (rear) and Yui (center)…if you look close enough, you’ll see the Mio and Yui Figma on top of the Ritsu towel. Also, is ‘HEART STATION’, probably the best Hikaru Utada album out there. Think of this as a tribute to Nao that includes others from the band.

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World’ the girls of ‘Hokago Tea Time’ took second place in a competition featuring the big names in music, …

From left to right: Haruka Tomatsu, Minako Kotobuki, Ayahi Takagaki and Aki Toyosaki.

Sphere, the Japanese Idol group that features Aki Toyosaki who voices Yui and Minako Kotobuki who voices Tsumugi in K-ON! Joining them are Haruka Tomatsu—Plays Ai Hidaka on The Idolmaster and Ayahi Takagaki.—plays Chris Yukine on Symphogear. Voice actors, Idols, and very popular in Japan; I have to admit that they sound good. My personal preference are bands who write their own songs, play their own instruments and such, but sometimes there is quite a lot of enjoyment in watching singers; I’d say check them out, Amazon is …
