21km と10km が走ったばかりです~

Phew, the lack of updates recently speaks volume for how busy I've become the past few weeks. Above you see me and Mabel, just after I completed my 10km run in the Nike+ Human race. There were altogether around 11 thousand participants in Singapore, and I was lost in a sea of red at the starting point. There was hardly any space to warm up at all, and being squeezed together with so many people was rather uncomfortable. Boy was I relieved when the race was finally flagged off. 10km was rather short compared to the half marathon which I just completed the week before. I've been running quite a bit lately, and was rather happy to have clocked one of my best timings in the Army Half Marathon in recent years. Sure it's not my best timing, but I've been really lousy the past few years and being able to cut nearly an hour was really satisfying.
The pictures that you see here are from the yet to be released 1/60 Fully Transformable VF-1J (Piloted by Hikaru Ichijyo) with Super Parts (1/60 完全変形 VF-1J 一条輝機 with スーパーパーツ). It costs around 13440 yen, and will be released this October. Compared to the 1/48 version, this is of course smaller and doesn't pack as much intricate details or the smaller moving parts such as the wing flaps. Having said that, the model still looks very detailed and special attention is put in for the transformation, which sets it apart from its predecessors.
The optional super parts can be removed if you'd very much just prefer the normal version like me. I'm very tempted to take out my air brush and redo the entire paint job, but that is only if I'm confident of making it better. I'd at least try and do some modifications using paint markers to make it more realistic. There is a stand available too, and most probably I'll be using it as a display in the shelf and not touch it very often. I wonder when I'll get myself one of those 1/48 versions....
Buono! (ボーノ) Italian language adjective for 'good', more specifically when used to imply food possesses a pleasant palate, is a Hello! Project unit consisting of three Hello! Project members: Momoko Tsugunaga and Miyabi Natsuyaki from Berryz Kobo, and Airi Suzuki from °C-ute. I've been listening to their new single called "Gachinko de Ikou!" (ガチンコでいこう!), and can't get the part about "Don't mind don't mind!" out of my head. Nice melody, so do take a look at their PV here:
Received my bandai figures of Ultra Seven and Ultraman Leo recently, and will be following up with the rest of the series pretty soon. Finally made some space on my self for this incoming series which is rather big compared to the rest of my collection. Haven't been buying too much Ultraman stuff lately so this will be a welcomed addition. On the other side of the collection, I'd welcome a new S.I.C series from Kamen Rider Den-O. Just the first of a series which I'm sure will include the rest of the forms as well as Zeronos, I will have to make more space at least within my Den-O section for them. I love the S.I.C series and will definately be keeping my eyes out for the rest of the series. Lastly, I've also added another item to my Kamen Rider Head displays. Kamen Rider X is the latest to be released, and I believe Kiva will be the next one. Not too soon, I hope. Thank god they're cheap though.
Kamen Rider Ixa from the Kiva series recently received a form upgrade. Since I talked about Kiva's upgrade in a previous blog post, I'll also link the video of his first appearance here. The Climax Deka movie has also been released recently. I thought it was ok, but the lack of punch of the show is made up for with the imagins back together and creating chaos like before on the Den Liner.

On the topic of the imagins and Den-O, the success and popularity of the series has prompted the creators to make yet another movie based on the characters. This is the 3rd movie of the franchise, and the most any rider series has been based on. And of course I'm thrilled. Den-O is my fave series of all. It's popularity in Japan speaks volume for its success, which Kiva can only hope to emulate. I thought the plot in Den-O, while lacking in some areas and raised plot holes, showed growth of the characters, from Ryoutaro to all of the imagins. Something which the other riders lacked in the other series. The story was more or less complete, although I will have to admit Kai was irritating and served only to conclude the series on a high for the imagins to form Den-O's strongest form.

Still, the memorable characters does it for me, and of course, I understand that everyone has different tastes and likings. However, I don't really like Kiva due to the lead character. Never would I thought that he would be wimpier and weaker than even Ryoutaro. That puts me off a little. The story however, keeps things fresh with the events from 86. I'd agree whole heartedly that Otoya is the best thing in Kiva.
On more tokusatsu related stuff, you would never have guessed who added me on Facebook last week. It's none other than Mark Musashi! Mark is a Wushu martial artist and a stuntman/actor, having major roles in a few Japanese Tokusatsu series. Best known for his role as the mysterious murderer named Piece in the live-action drama Sh15uya, Mark was most recently seen in Cutie Honey The Live as Duke Seiya Anthony Watari IV, a bilingual gentleman in the service of the organization Panther Claw. He was Kodama in the cult hit series Garo, and was the suit actor for Zero too. He was also the suit actor for Kamen Rider 2 in Kamen Rider: The First. He has participated in several Wushu competition championships and he has done motion capture for several video games, such as Dino Crisis 3, Resident Evil Outbreak, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. I loved his role in Garo and Cutey Honey, so I was really happy to be able to speak to him on Facebook. Hopefully we'll be able to see Mark in another kick ass show from Japan or America soon! Check out a clip featuring Mark here:
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed tells the story of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, code-named "Starkiller" but born Galen Marek, as he hunts down the Jedi remaining after Emperor Palpatine orders them killed. Set between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the story explores the aftermath of the Great Jedi Purge as well as the rise of Darth Vader. The events of The Force Unleashed are "pivotal" in Darth Vader's history and development as a character, and offer illumination into other characters from A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. I've played the demo a few times and it seems to have potential. Not totally sold on getting the game yet, but I'm keeping tabs on this one.
That's all for this update. September's not a very free month for me so I'm not sure when would be the next time I'll update. I really wanna say wake me up when September ends, but I guess any sleep at all would be very much appreciated. Still, you gotta make the best out of life, even during such low spirited periods. Until then, cya on Facebook. Ja!
