Well, looks like the post office has managed to lose two more of my packages. I'm not sure whether to blame to the post office, or whether someone in my building is stealing my packages after they're delivered. I check the delivery confirmation and it says "Delivered", but I find I do not have the packages. I've gotten the companies that sent me the packages to get on the case, and the post office says to give it a couple of days as well and to contact a supervisor they gave me the card for if I still don't have anything. We'll see what happens.

For those that are not already aware of it, I have succumbed to the evil, and gotten myself a twitter account. All those interested may follow me @amakaseP .

I was looking through some old pictures I had taken and had forgotten about this one. I sat there laughing for while before I decided I needed to post this online. If you're curious, this is from a snow cone shop somewhere near or in Edwardsville, Illinois, USA. Sorry, I don't actually remember exactly where.

"Bad Apple!! feat. nomico" was featured in short clip on CNN! Based on the video, it seems it was shown at some point in the afternoon on CNN Newsroom. Now normally, this would be awesome.

765 Production really does try to pick up anyone don't they? They must really be hurting for idol producers. Good luck, RockmanP! <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9489030">【ニコニコ動画】ロックマンプロデューサー　アイドル紹介</a> 【ニコニコ動画】ロックマンプロデューサー　アイドル紹介

When I made this blog, although I named it "Hakurei Shrine", I actually thought that Touhou posts would be somewhat rarer. Posting stuff here though made me realize that a lot of the stuff I look at on Niconico now is Touhou related. Anyway, for the sake of my friends more interested in IDOLM@STER than Touhou, today's post focuses entirely on IDOLM@STER videos. Yes, some still are Touhou influenced, but they're definitely good. With that out of the way, the videos are provided below! <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9420622">【ニコニコ動画】[高画質版] アイマス×東方アレンジ 美希『緋色月下、狂咲ノ絶』似非PV</a> 【ニコニコ動画】[高画質版] アイマス×東方アレンジ 美希『緋色月下、狂咲ノ絶』似非PV <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9394129">【ニコニコ動画】【アイドルマスター】　inferno　PV　【雪歩/千早】</a> 【ニコニコ動画】【アイドルマスター】　inferno　PV　【雪歩/千早】 <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4760427">【ニコニコ動画】アイドルマスター×らき☆すた -...
