It's not good to cheat (not video gaming) when married.
He divorced his wife because he was cheating. Then they head for a permanent split. It's not about cheating in video games, it's not about using cheat codes, it's just this: The divorce of Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren (pronounced eel-LIN nore-DE-grin). He was injured in a car accident last month, it wasn't good. I still haven't watched golf in a while, I may have been busy playing my DS.
Please read the full article why they got divorced. Six Apart has completely neglected Vox because they still have to fix the iStockPhoto conduit.

Idolgasm: The exact moment when a J-pop fan crosses over into full-blown Wotadom
That is exactly what I experienced last week when I first heard Momoiro Clover's first single. You might say "But CK, you are already a Wota". However, as Morning Berryz pointed out to me tonight it is always possible to have "multiples". (Hehehe)
Momoiro Clover's popularity has been skyrocketing over the past week. And they have been getting some notice in the "West" as well. I think that's great. It all started for me late one night in the middle of last week when Jasey from Stage48.net asked me if I had heard of this group. I was sold after the first video. Now everywhere I turn bloggers are talking about Momoiro Clover. SolarBlade from Kurayama Monogatari was talking to me about his review tonight, Annie from Sweet Japan has been regularly featuring them on her site. Oh, and they happen to be the covergirls at CDJapan today!
But my real coup de grâce came when Morning Berryz commented that she has purchased the group's discography! So in celebration of Momoiro Clover's rising popularity, here is a mini-picspam to enjoy!
I really liked this series although they were taken before Momoka had joined. I posted Reni and Sayaka's pictures on my last post. Great photography work!
Hahahaha. When I saw the masks I immediately thought of the robbery scene in Matsuura Aya's Sukeban Deka movie!
And I just love the back cover of the new single for obvious reasons! Hehehehe :)

I stopped drawing anything for three months. I have to apply for a job in a fast food restaurant (Carvel, DQ, Dunkin' Donuts, Pizza Hut, etc.) I will buy the domain blog for myself this weekend. :)
What's [really] charming and cute are photos of a "girl who is happy in her father's old boots with untied laces". The boots that I bought 4 years ago have spider webs (ugh, yuck!) in them. I'll get new ones in January or later in the winter. I will make up a wish list for Christmas, then I read the bible. I wonder if one of my nieces wear my old boots because I have this drawing by natasa10 and this photograph by dohreme on Flickr stuck in my head now.
Solange Magnano died last week due to her "rear behind" issues. Kusumi Koharu graduated this month, I will [definitely] miss her. The GBA cover on my DS is missing, hope I get a DSi in the future (no, I don't play GBA games that much).
Edit - 2009/12/14 - I have made my list and the domain blog is ready to be purchased. I should start buying it from Go Daddy. I really don't want ads, just the WordPress blogging tool.

Here's the 2009 recap. I was doing the coin toss. I flipped the coin. It was tails, so I will have no more teen years next year in February. There's a countdown for graduation for myself, which is on the Vox's widget sidebar. So, it's "goodbye, surfing the internet (Web 1.0)", and "hello, Web 2.0". Here's what I have been drawing:
The coryrobertsintokyo.net splash page, including the "ENTER" arrow, which takes you to the new blog (which is not ready yet):
I used colored pencils and softlead pencils to make the drawing. Also, this:
I bought my first Arashi album (read this here) from CDJapan, my father was thinking, "Why do you buy CDs from Japan?" The two CDs from that site costs about $60, then my father recommended me to buy the CDs during my Tokyo trip. The only thing to work for money before graduation is applying for a job. So, I will have to apply for a job. Need Arashi's 10 anniversary Vox banners? Here (part 1, part 2). Just remember to credit me ("Cory" or "coryrobertsintokyo" with the blog URL http://coryrobertsintokyo.vox.com).
I'm getting a new camera, it's a Nikon DSLR (it will be bought at Amazon.com, along the new Casio compass watch), they will bought in the future.
I just love this group!!!
But who the heck are these girls? Momoiro Clover??? Sometimes I forget that there are a lot more than three female idol organizations in the universe. You always hear (insert SKE girl) was in some group, and (insert Idoling!!! girl) was in some other group. I never really pay much attention, and it's a good thing because my Amex would never get a rest!
But I like this group's gimmick. H!P has their fru fru Prom Dress flamboyant look. AKB have the naughty seifuku style. Idoling!!! are the sporty girls. And here's Momoiro Clover with the kawaii Yukata look. Their music seems to have a traditional Japanese flair to it, especially the first single which was released this past summer...
And here is a live version of Momoiro "Punch-y" for ya!!!
They are so adorable!!! Momoiro Clover has been around for about a year and a half, releasing two singles over the past 5 months. And like a traditional idol group, they have already gone through a multitude of lineup changes. They are currently a 6nin ensemble, with five graduates. The most notable graduate being Takai Tsukina who went on to be an original member of SKE48 before graduating from SKE this year.
The oldest current member is 16-year old Reni Takagi, who reminds me a lot of C-ute's Yajima Maimi (when she had long hair...bahhhhhhh!) The youngest member is 13-year old Ayaka Sazaki, because she has an adorable smile and looks like a cross between Maasa Sudo and Kana Kobayashi. Yes, there is always one member of an idol group that will captivate me, and for Momoiro Clover...Ayaka is the one, just adorable!!!
By the way, you can check out their profiles on the official site...
One of the big reasons I am so drawn to Momoiro Clover is their gimmick. The outfits are great, and I am especially diggin' on the music. I love the tradtional sound mixed in with the pop. I really hope they don't lose that, because I think it will make them stand out as a group and possibly be a key to big success! I did notice that their second single, Mirai He Susume! sounded a little more like straight J-pop...
I bought both CD's, which are available in multiple versions on all of your favorite J-music buy sites, as well as their 2010 calendar which releases this week. But what really kills me is that they were doing appearances all over Tokyo while I was there this month, and I didn't know them...I MISSED IT, DAMN!!!
Oh well, thank you to my buddy Jasey from Stage48.net for turning me on to Momoiro Clover, definitely a group to watch out for in the coming year!!!

Thanks to Reanimation at JPHiP, great scans from the latest FLASH Magazine:
Anyone know/remember Saijo Hideki?
Well thirty years later it has apparently frozen up and become ripe for parody. Seems like EVERY time I sing a Seventies Saijo tune and there's a gal from Japan in the room... Well, she's covering her mouth in a failed attempt at suppressing laughter. In fact, it happened again this past Friday when I busted out this classic:
Yeah it looks campy and overwraught and those moves sure aren't hip-hoppy. Know what: the local dudes I was with didn't think it was silly at all, especially the monologue in the middle. They thought it was great theater. Only the 30ish women on the other side of the room were snickering as usual. What the hell were they waiting for, Matsujun or something?
Friends: I kicked ass with this song and resolve to sing it EVERY time I go to karaoke from now on.
以上
________________
UPDATE: I found this interesting medley of Saijo tunes, ranked in reverse order according to Oricon. Was grooving to a few of them and was gratified that many of the top 20 were old faves. However that #4 was pretty gruesome and it suddenly hit me that I already KNEW what the top song was going to be. Aggh!
