Suzuka 133 Sudden

凉风 #133 咄嗟 とっさ

After his practice, Yamato watched Suzuka's high jump and pondered on her previous comment on the reason why she went abroad to study because of his praise. He had always thought that he didnt have a place in her heart when it came to her high jump matters. Because of what she said that night, he felt happy and he decided to try to go to the same university as her. Suzuka finished her training, saw Yamato and asked him to go back together. Seeing her smile, Yamato know that he really still like Suzuka.

Back in Yamato's room, he found Saotome inside his room. Yamato replied I'm home (a courteous phrase of Japanese upon reaching home). Saotome was irritated and asked him if he didnt notice any diffference (She reverted back to her wild appearance). Yamato told her not to eat his food. She asked why he's moody. Yamato replied nothing but he still have things to consider too. Saotome then mentioned that it's about time he submit Touto's acceptance. He told her that the application can be thrown away since he had opt for Seijou. Saotome then asked him if he knew that there's possibility that he couldn't get into Seijou. Yamato commented that Seijou have good catering and also Arima was in Touto. Saotome commented if those are the only reason. Yamato replied that it didnt matter because he wanted to enter Seijou. Saotome looked at him and then remarked that it was because Suzuka would attend Seijou. Yamato told her that he has decided. He told her that he wanted to be like Saotome, not to do something that would regret later. He added that he had thought so after seeing Saotome at the airport. Yamato continued that if he didnt do what he really wanted, he would regret in future and that's why he applied Seijou. Yamato told her that he really still like Suzuka. He said that he couldnt say that to her as it might trouble her and she might be angry. He wanted to confess when Suzuka felt that he didnt just confess simply without any consideration. Saotome told him that it would be expsed the day he enter Seijou. Saotome promised that she would kept it a secret until Yamato's ready. Saotome looked at the hole linking Suzuka and Yamato's room (She had few cans of beers already ). She passed through the hole and shouted, "Suzuka, Yamato has something important to tell you!" Suzuka was shocked as she had just finished her bath and was only wrapped in towel. Back in Yamato room, Yamato scolded Saotome but she replied that she was just following his usual attitude. She asked Yamato to work hard.

Later in the room, Yamato and Suzuka sat around the table. She asked Yamato about the important thing. Stuttering, he replied that Saotome reverted to her style. Suzuka was puzzled but she saw the Touto application on the table. She then commented that Yamato decided t go for Touto. Yamato denied and said that he's going for Seijou. He replied that he felt it would be nice if they could participate in track together again. Suzuka told him that there's selection stage and there's no gurantee even if there's recommendation. He replied that he knew and if he didnt make it he would try anything to enter Seijou. Inside his heart, he knew he shouldn't, it's bad timing. Suzuka asked why he wanted to put himself in that circumstance. Yamato then told her, "Because I still like you". (Great, he burst out again even he knew it's bad timing, but that's the Yamato we knew). Suzuka was stunned. She answered, "Why.... why did you say that?" Yamato was puzzled with the word why. Suzuka then ran away.

P/S: Like this episode. Yamato had plan how to convey his feeling but Saotome mischieviously cause Yamato to confess again. Certainly Saotome is the catalyst here. My view on Suzuka ran away is because she didnt expect that Yamato still like her and even confess to her again. Eager to next chapter!!!

ARIA Order

My HLJ order comprising Beat Alicia Florence 1/6 figure and ARIA The Natural Perfect Book has been shipped today. I had hope that the other ARIA order, ARIA PS2 Game material would make it in time but it didnt. HLJ even priced it incorrectly but ammended after I told them. They said that the stock hasn't arrived due to long holiday. AJ has it, guess AJ worked throughout the holidays. I did save about ¥380 having the book shipped together with the figure. But I still have to pay at least ¥680 SAL shipping for the PS2 book later.

Vendor: HLJ
Order: Beat Alicia Florence 1/6 Figure
Cost: ¥6631 (Early Bird)
Order: ARIA The Natural Perfect Guide Book
Cost: ¥1886
Shipping:¥1780
Total: ¥10297 (AUD $109)

Next time, I might go for AJ as Adun has mentioned, faster service thought shipping slightly more expensive.

P/S: Adun had his Perfect Guide Book and Premium Poster book from AJ already, so visit moemoerabu to see them.

AMG Artbook and PS2



Hidenori Matsubara Artbook. Megami-sama has uploaded several pages of AMG artworks. Most of the artworks have been published as DVD covers, CD covers, posters and magazine scans. Megami-sama has identified them under the image cross-references section. Visit Megami-sama for the scans.



AMG PS2 game will be released on 22nd February. Some of the PS2 artworks released are done by Matsubara for example the left one, featured in afternoon magazine, which is very beautifully produced. But the right one, featured in Megami magazine Feb. 2007, is terrible.
