Non lo so la rivista non è nemmeno iniziata ahahahahaha, dovrete leggere per scoprirlo, ma come già detto nella scorsa edizione si ha una nuova novità *^* la sezione Lavoro se ne va in vacanza e ci farà compagnia la sezione Cosplay gestita da Mikki.. Ora vi lascio ciauus Lo Shoujonk Team e lo Shoujonk Magazine cerca staff Click Helpaci xD e fai parte dello staff anche tuuuu!!

Buon divertimento… P.s E voi siete andati in Giappone ?? VIA.. Inizialmente come sempre, non abbiamo organizzato subito il prossimo viaggio, per cui ognuno stava svolgendo i proprio cavoli… come ad esempio una certa ragazzuola che se ne sta in poltrona senza un piffero da fare e ad un certo punto le squilla il cell e si sente “ aooooooooooooooh guarda che domani dobbiamo andare all’aeroporto “ e io sono del tipo O__O ” cheeeee, ma.. ma io non ho nulla di pronto e poi dove andiamo?” “ la rivista mica aspetta a te muoviti domani alle 8:00 lì” e costui che mi rovina la mia pausa giornaliera chiude lasciandomi di stucco .-. Quindi come una pazza mi aggiro per casa cercando valigia e tutto il necessario, ma i dilemmi mi assalgono se non so dove andiamo non so nemmeno che tempo fa come posso preparare una valigia? -.- ecco che Shiku me la pagherà…. Ho risolto mettendo roba adatta sia al caldo che al freddo (sperando che vada bene). Quindi dopo tutto sto casino l’indomani mi ritrovo che sembro una pazza mentre quello ride tutto contento all’aeroporto fischietta come se lui non centrasse nulla con la mia situazione ç_ç. Dopo tutto sto trambusto, ci siamo rilassati in aereo e arrivati il collega non riusciva a svegliarmi … 1 Ma lasciando perdere il bradipo qui presente appena sveglia mi ritrovo esseri O.O mai visti che fra poco si malmenavano per chi doveva scendere prima dall’aereo… ( Noi non abbiamo fatto nulla per non fermare quella piccola rissa.. noo ahhaha l’abbiamo invogliata *^* preso il borsello dal portabagagli dell’aereo ne do un colpo a uno che passava ops, Shiku come si muoveva dava gomitate a destra e a manca, io mi muovevo e schiacciavo i piedi insomma era l’inferno in cielo.. no in terra dato che eravamo già atterrati ahahahahaha xD). E niente riusciti ad uscire dal travicolo/aereo ci ritroviamo fermi ad osservare e a decifrare le scritte, non sapendo dove mi trovassi non potevo dirigere u,u Shiku chiedeva aiuto io continuavo a fissare come un idiota un cartello con buonissimo e ripeto buonissimo ( anche se non l’ho assaggiato) cibo.. morivo di fame. Ancora con shiku disperato io tranquilla “ nel frattempo che ti scleri a cercare un qualcosa per portarci in un qualunque posto io vado al bagno… NON PERDERTI”… si va bhè lo sclero time di Shiku è finito dopo aver trovato un taxi che ci avrebbe portato all’albergo ancora non identificato… ( dato che di solito è shiku che prende tutti gli appunti del viaggio mentre io dirigo e faccio la navigatrice, in questo caso ero io che scrivevo/ disegnavo ghirigori su una meta imprecisa perché un certo qualcuno non mi voleva dire dove eravamo e dove cappero fosse l’albergo .-.). Ebbene si siamo finalmente giunti all’albergo dopo un ora e mezza di viaggio in macchina arriviamo all’hotel col nome Brighton City Kyoto Yamashina mai lo ricorderò quindi ebbene munirsi sempre di penna e mappa in viaggio per scrivere indirizzo e nome di dove si sta alloggiando ;). Vi dirò l’aspetto non mi attirava.. era semplicemente un ammasso di cemento abbastanza alto da creare un colosso, a parte l’esterno l’interno era molto elegante si avevano due ristoranti e ospitava circa 100 camere e nelle stanze si aveva anche la tv ( mai accesa hahahah). Quindi possiamo dire che siamo giunti sani e salvi a Kyoto, la città è costituita da quasi 1,5 milioni di abitanti, nel passato fu la capitale del paese oggi diventata capoluogo dell'omonima Prefettura. Kyoto è situata nella parte centro-occidentale dell'isola di Honshū; la parte storica della città è circondata da verdi colline ed 2 è attraversata da nord a sud dal fiume Kamo. Il clima è subtropicale umido con inverni miti ed estati calde e afose. ( caspita dovevo aggiornarmi prima). Arrivati salutiamo alla Reception dove poi ci forniscono le chiavi delle stanze, dopo esserci sistemati riscendiamo e come ogni inizio viaggio ci facciamo un giro di perlustrazione nella zona da qui la sottoscritta prende le redini del viaggio u,u se no se inizio davvero a far andare Shiku per conto suo ci perdiamo… Iniziamo a dirigerci verso sinistra e via tra le viuzze di Kyoto il tempo non era dei migliori, ma questo non era importante cari utenti le viuzze mi dirigevano inesorabilmente in ristoranti ricchi di cibo profumi buonissimi e pasti invitanti dove individui estranei mangiavano e si prendevano gioco della di questo piccolo staff affamato, ma noi tra mille pericoli e mille gorgoglii di stomaco superiamo con invidia i ristorantini e continuiamo la nostra mini avventura del giorno, giriamo e rigiriamo non so per quanto ma ad un certo punto notiamo una struttura interessante al di là della strada attraversiamo e si rivela un pacco… purtroppo era solo una casa… ( sbagliamo pure noi raga xD) continuiamo a camminare ma inutilmente trovando poi un luogo di culto credo ahahha chiamato Taimatera che però risultava chiuso e quindi inaccessibile da visitare. Ormai si faceva sempre più tardi e ancora purtroppo non avevamo trovato nulla di affascinante da visitare. Sinceramente nella zona vicino all’albergo non c’era nulla questo diciamolo colpa di un certo qualcuno che fa tutto da solo senza consultare la ragazzuola che poi lo porta in giro u,u. Fatto sta che purtroppo non abbiamo trovato nulla per questo stanchi e affamati siamo tornati in stanza li dato che non sapevamo cosa fare ci siamo messi a cercare zone, luoghi o comunque passatempi per l’indomani e ovviamente abbiamo cercato la meta, sicuramente vi porteremmo in luoghi stupendi promesso ;) 3 Ciao a tutti ecco a voi un paio di news dal mondo nipponico, ci tengo però ad esortarvi dal fare certe pratiche che i nostri amici mondiali, sono abituali ha svolgere, poi capirete : Dal Giappone ecco il matrimonio per single Direttamente dalla terra del Sol Levante arriva il matrimonio per single. Ecco come funziona... Di stranezze riguardanti il matrimonio ne abbiamo sentite parecchie, questa però probabilmente le batte tutte! In Giappone, infatti, un'agenzia di nome CercaTravel organizza matrimoni per le donne single che vorrebbero sposarsi. Lo slogan punta sul fatto che per queste donne di giovane età, è meglio realizzare nel fiore dei propri anni un set fotografico con un bel vestito, piuttosto che farlo in età avanzata. Il programma inizia con un colloquio con gli esperti dell'agenzia, nei pressi di Kyoto, per decidere ogni piccolo particolare in base ai gusti delle clienti. Quindi si procede con l'acquisto del vestito e del bouquet. Con un sovrapprezzo è inoltre possibile aggiungere vari extra disponibili come un marito (per evitare di realizzare il servizio fotografico da sole), o un compagno per la cena di nozze. Passata la notte in una elegante camera d'albergo, si arriva al grande giorno con il servizio fotografico realizzato da fotografi professionisti. Ora pensavate di arrivare alla veneranda età dei 40 anni per sposarsi, bhe ora con questo metodo intelligente ci si può sposare e quindi vivere il giorno più bello della vostra vita, in giovane età senza avere poi le noie che porta il post matrimonio. Bisogna capire però se ne vale veramente la pena, solo per fare un paio di foto, di sposarsi per finta o se veramente si vuole aspettare l’amore della vostra vita. 4 La pietra che protegge dalle emorroidi In Giappone esiste una pietra sacra che protegge dalle emorroidi. Ecco il rituale per guarire. Combattere le emorroidi può spesso essere problematico. E' una situazione imbarazzante e non sempre facilmente risolvibile. Un'idea per guarire, però, potrebbe venire dalla cultura giapponese. Nel paese del Sol Levante, infatti, esiste una pietra sacra che proteggerebbe dalle emorroidi. Si tratta della pietra di Kunigami e si trova nella prefettura di Tochigi. Le pietre sacre non sono rare in Giappone ma è decisamente curioso che una di queste protegga addirittura dalle emorroidi. Secondo il rito, i pellegrini sofferenti devono lavarsi il sedere nel fiume lì vicino, mangiare delle uova ed esporre il proprio di dietro alla sacra pietra.

  • Bubblegun Reviews ASSORTED REVIEWS on BUBBLEGUN by the MERRYMAKERS BAM California's Music Magazine ESSENTIALLY a TWO-MAN CORE
    Bubblegun reviews ASSORTED REVIEWS ON BUBBLEGUN BY THE MERRYMAKERS BAM California's Music Magazine ESSENTIALLY A TWO-MAN CORE OF Swedes - Anders Hellgren and David Myhr - aided and abetted by various pals, the Merrymakers specialize in making pop of the purest form: Guitars jangle, vocal harmonies soar, love conquers all and the melodies stick in your head for days. Traces of Cheap Trick, ELO and (of course) the Beatles abound, but the Merrymakers' sound is a remarkably consistent one; Hellgren and Myhr are less interested in aping their idols than in building something new with the tools they've left behind. Though the songs are occasionally sweet to the point of becoming cloying, Bubblegun succeeds on the strength of cuts like "Superstar", "Ms Demeanor" and "April's Fool" (the latter co-written with former Jellyfish dude Andy Sturmer, who also produced four of the album's tracks), all of which make writing witty lyrics and twist-and-turn hooks sound like the easiest thing in the world. As an added enticement, the packgage also includes a bonus disc, which features five fine songs from the band's 1995 debut. - DAN EPSTEIN The onion The next great torchbearers of American power-pop may well be from Sweden. On The Merrymakers’ sophomore album (released elsewhere in 1997 and already a big hit in Japan), the group captures the style nearly perfectly, from swelling choruses to sentiments perfectly suited for sing-along pop songs and nowhere else. Best example of both: the chorus to ”Superstar,” which repeats, ”Don’t let go superstar / Let it show who you are / Don’t let go superstar / That’s what you are.” It’s pop at its (superficially) simplest and catchiest, but there’s a smartness and sophistication beneath the surface that never lets the music seem dispensable.
