Jpop Brutally Thrases Kpop in Channel V Battle of Bands

When I first learned Channel V pitted (Japanese Pop) Jpop vs Kpop (Korean Pop), I was hesitant for I thought Southeast Asia is Kpop country. Every success Kpop has in Southeast Asia is reported religiously.

To my shock, Jpop artists thrashed their Kpop opponents in voting. Wow, it's unbelievable! I didn't expect that since Jpop isn't exactly the toast of most Asian entertainment sites (they usually concentrate on Cantopop and Kpop). The number of websites devoted to Kpop alone are many and regularly updated compared to Jpop ones. So, it's a great achievement as far as I'm concerned. The voting wasn't even close (with the exception of TVXQ, the only Kpop band who won), the margin of victory is about 3,000 (I'm too lazy to compute it this is an estimate). Of course, this is not an accurate measure of popularity in the region, but at least with Channel V audience it is.

Scandal defeated Girls Generation 10251 vs 8729. A very unlikely victory by Jrock chicks known for the opening song of Bleach

Yui beat Wonder Girls 12024 vs 7456. The margin of victory is astonishing. I'm starting to be a big fan of Yui anyway. The girl never seems to run of out of great songs.

Ayumi Hamasaki vs Boa 9859 vs 6945.

Mika Nakashima vs Rain 10253 vs 6542. The biggest surprise of them all. For some people, Rain rules Asia so I didn't expect this.

W-inds vs SHINEE 10639 vs 9276. Just look at W-inds and you know why they are popular with girls. They are also dressed up rather nicely.

Kat tun vs BigBang 14346 vs 10986. Battle of Boy Bands with Unique Fashion Sense. Whoever thought of pairing them is a genius!

Arashi vs Super Junior 37171 vs 33464 - This is probably the biggest match in the series. Arashi fans promised to make themselves known and they have succeeded. Congratulations! Make no mistake, Super Junior fans shouldn't be underestimated - they are many and loyal. They recently propelled their idols to top a music channel daily charts. However, this time they got beat.

In the leaderboard, Japanese boybands, Arashi and Kat-Tun place first and second in overall voting over TVXQ. Wait a minute, is this for real? Yes, it is. The fans of the two Jpop bands feel strongly enough to vote for their idols.

What is the moral of the story? Don't underestimate Jpop, just because it doesn't make much noise doesn't mean it's dying. Silent water runs deep, as they say.

I conclude Jpop is still strong in Southeast Asia (or wherever the scope of Channel V is) and has many loyal fans, capable of amassing together and influence online popularity voting.

Hikari Hitotsu Orthros No Inu Theme Song

Orthros No Inu, the Japanese Television drama featured in the blog months ago, is now airing and its theme song is called Hikari Hitotsu sung by Takizawa Hideaki . Yes, he is one of the leads. And no I haven't watched it yet - it has very interesting story line.

Mad Surfer By Kenichi Asai (20th Bleach Ending)

I saw this game Wonder King and I am intrigued by it. I'm looking for more info about the game and hopefully I could play it soon. My favorite PC game is the Age of Empires - I love building things up and conquering other territories.

There's a Bleach game too by the way.

2nd Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Ending Let It Out English Video

Here's the Second Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood ending song "Let It Out" By Miho Fukuhara in English (video only - subbers didn't explicitly allow anything)

Let It Out Lyrics

Let it all out, let it all out
tsuyogaranakute iin' da ne
dare ka ga kaiteta kabe no rakugaki no hana ga yureru.

Jibun rashisa nante dare mo wakaranai yo
nagai nagai michi no tochuu de nakushitari hirottari

Namida mo itami mo hoshi ni kaeyou

chiisana te o zashite futari tsukurou hoshikuzu o

Sayonara itsuka wa kuru kamoshirenai
kisetsu wa sore de mo meguri megutteku
chiisaku mayotte mo
aruiteku kimi to aruiteku
sore dake wa kawaranaide you ne.

Full Metal Alchemist is available in manga (Japanese comics) and anime, originated from the mind of Hiromu Arakawa - wonderful storytelling. I got hooked the moment I watched an episode - gripping stuff and makes you think about morality and the boundary of science.

Here's the video:

Hologram - Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Second Opening English

Hologram by NICO Touches The Walls is the second opening song of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Second opening already? Time flies fast huh?

Hologram - English Translation

NICO Touches The Walls

English Translation:
Invited by a pure white scenery now
Ill go to a world that I still havent seen
As a lost child, I journeyed
Under the slate-gray sky
Many dreams blotted through the map that changes daily
Someday
Even with my strides as I am tiny
I wonder if I can get to the other side of those clouds
I pretended to be strong and got hurt
As if looking through my heart
The raindrops that started to fall
Repeatedly bounce off and get scattered everywhere
The direct light intersects itself
And without even announcing my destination
I pierce through everywhere
The faint afterimage is burnt into my eyes
Under this sky
No matter where I am
I should be able to reach
The world that I still havent seen

Without these translators how are we going to understand the song? Thank you for their hardwork.

K-ON is like the most talked about anime right now. Whatever website I go people talk about K-ON and it is about several high school girls starting a band. Frankly speaking, a live-action version would be nice too.

My site is turning into...well nah.

Super Driver English Translation / Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 Opening

In celebration of Haruhi Suzumiya's arrival in this country, I'll feature at least one song from that hit anime. Frankly speaking, Haruhi's personality is pffft initially but....

Super Driver English Translation

Day by Day,
Getting sick of it all, I tell you, that if you just, act like yourself, all your worries soon will pass,
Oh my boy, if I don't do it once and for all
We cannot be, keeping secrets, in this narrow world of ours

And so finally, I found my sense, naturally, Id fall in love！
Kicking away all the boring methods,
Dont you know that, I decide, on everything!

（I say, I say, My Heaven!）

Super Driver, Dash！Leave it to me, whatever, just keep going!
We will jump over all of it,　Take it easy go!
Winning is the only thing that I will ever ever accept!
Dont look back, Theres so much to do, we gotta hurry!

Never done never done this thing or that,
but it seems to feel so forced,

Almost like almost like weve never done, that but we can give it a go!

Never done never done this thing or that,
Its always coming out of the blue!
Almost like almost like weve never done, that but do I even care?

Credits (it means all praises, salutations, thanks should be given to) sonicmaster08@youtube - thanks for the hard work

The Melancholy Haruhi Suzumiya is a Japanese anime about a girl who wants to seek adventure and having interest with aliens, espers and others. If you're not any of the above don't talk to her.

Super Driver is sang by Aya Hirano (wowowee!) and is the opening song for this anime's second season.

Koyoi, Tsuki ga Miezu tomo (Tonight, Even if You Cant See the Moon) English / Bleach Fade To Black Theme Song

I told you I can't wait for the movie Bleach Fade To Black to come out. So I checked out its soundtrack and I found this - the song is Koyoi, Tsuki ga Miezu tomo by Porno Graffiti and thanks to someone from youtube we now have the english translation. Check out the song - its catchy. Bleach Fade To Black DVD release is said to be on September 30th in Japan but I can't confirm that. I will update this if something comes up.

Koyoi, Tsuki ga Miezu tomo (English Translation)

Tonight, where does the moon shine on? From the sky covered in thick clouds
Tonight, who are you embraced by? Are you going to cry alone in the rain?

If you're ashamed of yourself for thinking that you can share everything and having anticipated so
Then take your authority into your hands, get onto your rooftop, and show me that you're worried about this world
You got yourself when you spat into the sky

Even though you want to pretend to be a traveler, you hate stray paths and detours
So under the roof braving the storm, you look at the world through Google Search
Words of love don't reach you

Tonight, where does the moon shine on? From the sky covered in thick clouds
Tonight, who are you embraced by? Are you going to cry alone in the rain?

The bravado and vanity that you clung onto showed their faces even in your love affairs
And even grasping your separated hand was made into a very hard thing
Even though I knew that I cant meet you

Tonight, if you cant see the moon, then lets wait earnestly for the breaks in the clouds
Tonight, I wonder if you can see the moon in the sky that you looked up at

If I aim, I'm fine with the wilderness; I want to see a flawless light

If you find yourself, your true identity disagreeable

You lied about it being insignificant, bore a face that seemed to know just about everything
Hid yourself who cant do anything, and lost the truth
If you're to see the invisible things, its okay that you have your eyelids shut
Even if you're not here, even if you cant see the moon tonight

Shinkokyuu English Translation / 9th Naruto Shippuuden Ending / Emo Kids

This is the Naruto Shippuuden ending where they look like EMO KIDS. They look EMO BUT not necessarily EMO okay? They're not emo like L - not everyone in the world is so caught up with that lifestyle. The song is called "Shinkokyuu" and I have partial and unofficial (like in the elections) english translation. Frankly speaking, this is such a great song by Super Beaver.

Shinkokyuu English Translation / Sub

Before the reality of a deep breath
My gaze, my very existence, tries to challenge it
Mistakes are made and in the confusion of it all, everything burns into my mind
In a series of moments

Beyond a great number of promises
Are the words that spilled over from the day as I reflect upon them
It's as though I made a vow which expresses these feelings into words
Then it would link the beginning with the present day
It's not in my dreams
That place doesn't exist in a fantasy world either

Before the reality of a deep breath
My gaze, my very existence, tries to challenge it
Mistakes are made and in the confusion of it all, everything burns into my mind
Embracing the long path ahead
In a series of moments

Kimi Wo Mamotte, Kimi Wo Aishite English Translation / Another Ichiruki Proof

You want another Ichiruki proof? How about the ending sequence by Tite Kubo from Bleach episodes 215 - 229? The closing song is Kimi Wo Mamotte, Kimi Wo Aishite and I have the English Translation! To be honest, I didn't like the song when I first heard it but after listening to it several times it grew on me.

Kimi Wo Mamotte, Kimi Wo Aishite English Translation (unofficial as always)


Love You! (Love You!)
When we first met it was raining hard wasn't it?
Even though it was raining it was obvious you were crying
Love You! (Love You!)
Even though there are times when a feeling of sadness attacks you
I (I) care every second that passes you

Because I know the reasons to why your tears flow
I was standing close to you
To stop all your tears

I will protect you
From all the things that make you suffer
I don't care if I can't do anything else
I cannot make it perfect
But I will make sure to make you happy

I will swear everytime
That I will protect You

Love you, The first thing you heard from me was Dont cry wasnt it?
You were telling me a lie but you were still crying
Love You, Even if You were criticizing yourself for not being able to laugh
I love every second that passes you

The time when it was storming and I went out to look for you
I promised myself I must protect you when I saw you standing in the rain
I will protect you, from everything that makes you suffer
I dont care if other people laugh at me
I may not be able to make it perfect but Ill definitely make you happy
I swear, I will protect you no matter what

Until a shooting star passes by I will match my breathing with you
I pray I am able to protect you, who is praying to the stars
when my life ends I want you close to me
At least in the very last second, this time please be the one to watch over me

I will protect you, from everything that makes you suffer
I dont care if I cant do anything else
I cant make miracles but being with you is my miracle
I swear, I will protect you no matter what

Credits: princessfma595323484 - thank you for translating the song

The song is so mushy (sob!). Ichiruki fans were happy...one even cited the two characters held hand which I didn't see initially.


I just want to understand the song or at least explain what it is about even if I can't yet speak Japanese.

Hotaru No Hikari English Translation / Subs

SHA LA LA someday, surely, I'll hold you in my arms
The light in my pure heart is burning up
The drive of wanting to see you, the naivete that makes me want to cry,
the fireflies that dove into the flame of summer don't come out.
The kisses you gave me without saying a thing are left behind,
and you bowed to me while you were aflame.
This sorrowful life was trembling.
SHA LA LA someday, surely, I'll hold you in my arms
The light in my pure heart is burning up.
SHA LA LA My dear, I can see you now
This month is dazzling, shining on tomorrow
Stronger, Stronger Shine

Okay I'll sing again "Sha la la itsura chiquito boku wa..."

Big Bang is a...I'm not sure what kind of group they are. They are marketed as a hip hop group but do hip hop artists dress like this (see below )? No offense to fans, but if they want to be taken seriously Big Bang shouldn't allow dissonance in the image they want to project. Some fangirls authoritatively say they are a boyband. Who am I to argue with them?

Hip hop is not just a musical style but a lifestyle. If a band can't stand up to it or can't represent it 24 -7, better pack up and go home. I didn't intend to diss Big Bang but just look at them...one is even holding a stuff toy! This is the problem with manufactured artists they can't stand up against their management.

Arashi Everything English Translation / Arashi Rules Oricon

Arashi Everything English Translation for someone who is a big Arashi fan (NOT ME)

the passing rain draws closer, the smell of the city is bittersweet
the shadows left on the pavement seemed different than usual
as if the everchanging sky was refelcting my wavering heart
the world continues turning at a fast pace

the signal that changes from red to green
in the midst of a journey of no return
I want to go forward believing in tomorrow
alone in this evening shower
there may be times when I stop and look back
but I won't be afraid of anything

the evening sunflowers that I can see from the window after the rain
are dyed by the sunset and waiting for the sunrise
sometimes it seems like I'll lose sight of what's important
but I walk on holding the feelings I won't let go

dyed with a brilliant blue
the future sketched out endless dreams
moistening my dry heart
in the midst of this limited time
I strongly carved the emotions into my heart
the sun will rise again

even knowing what I would see
when I cross this long hill
I don't want to have regrets
I'll keep going and shine on tomorrow like the sun

the signal that changes from red to green
in the midst of a journey of no return
I want to go forward believing in tomorrow

run run, reach out your hands to your dreams
shout shout, as long as your voice goes on
in the way that your heart feels

This is the number song in Japan right now. Yes for boybands like Arashi, topping the charts is like breathing for them. Even the band with the "largest fanclub in the world" couldn't beat them.

DBSK Stand By You English Translation / Subs / Chito Miranda's Long Lost Brother

DBSK Stand By You English Translation

The light wavers in the wind
The table serving tea for two
I’m lying on the sofa
Gazing at you.

Look like you’ve figured out something
From the recipe that you keep reading.
I wonder what you are making?
But if you are the one who makes it
Then even the scent of vanilla only
Would make me happy.
It would last forever just like that.

Important, so important
You’re my most important person in the world.
Forever and ever
Let me look at you smiling by my side.

It’s a lie that I wanted to help you out
I just wanted to kiss you
Embracing you from behind
Asking you, “How’s the cooking?”

If the world was to end tomorrow
I still want to smile like this.
To the you who keep reading the recipe
I am going to kiss you
And tell you, “I love you”
And you’ll just simply nod your head.
Just like today.

You and you only
Can make me strong and weak.
I love you and love you more
Afraid to think what if you don’t love me.
Even if it’s painful, I still want to protect you.

Important, so important
You’re my most important person in the world.
More than anything and everything
Our encounter is such a bless
Just the two of us together like that.

Chito Miranda's long lost brother

Stealing glances at other girl’s legs
You’re so so hopeless
Everyday you take off your couple ring, and secretly go on a blind date
I don’t think that I’ll be able to take it anymore oh oh oh

[Sandara]
My friends say that you’re not really worth it
You even went to your wolf-like friends for advice but
I’d rather keep it simple, I’m too good for you
I believed you were my love but oh oh

[CL]
Today you said you were busy, I tried phoning you but
As expected, in the background I heard a girl’s laugh oh no

[Bom]
I don’t care, I’ll stop caring about what you’re doing wherever you are
From now on I really don’t care, I’ll get out of the way
From now on don’t come to me and cry, and cling on

[Sandara]
cause I don’t care e e e e e e

Boy I don’t care

[Minji]
Because of you, I remember crying till dawn boy
I regret every time I think about you when my heart was too easy, huh boy?
I’m too good to throw away and too boring to have
You should’ve treated me better when we were together why are you clinging to me now

[CL]
You fooled me with your lies hundreds of times
From today on, I’ll be a bad girl who makes guys cry
Now without a single tear, I’ll laugh at you
Loser who’s inside a game called love
Get on your knees and take me back
If not, get out of my sight right now

[Bom]
I don’t care, I’ll stop caring about what you’re doing wherever you are
From now on I really don’t care, I’ll get out of the way
From now on don’t come to me and cry, and cling on

Yui Again English Translation / Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood First Opening

Yui again opens for another popular anime this time Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood said to be the most popular in Asia right now. The first time I heard this I knew it was Yui. I like her Bleach opening song Rolling Star years ago and her distinctive voice is very familiar to me. Again is another great song from this very talented girl...

Yui Again English Translation / Subs

I am supposed to pursue my dream
in this narrow winding road, stuttering in the crowds of people

It's not that I want to return to that past,
I am just searching for the sky I have lost.
I hope you understand.
Don't show the sad face as if you have been sacrificed.

Tears do not end a sin. We have to carry it with us through
in this maze of feelings with no ends in sight.
Who am I waiting for?
As scribbled on the blank note, I want to be more honest.
What do I want to escape from?
Is it this thing called "reality"?

"For what am I living?"
In the middle of the night as my memories are fading.
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
There's still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I will feel nostalgic about it.
I welcome this pain.

I have to apologize for this. Ah, I'm sorry.
I can't say it well. I'm just causing worries.

Everything that I embraced that day.
Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.

Unnecessary rumors that I hear for the first time, so what?
"Face it and you will be friends"
Don't tell lies like these.
My heart being agitated from deep inside,
a burning sensation runs through my body.
Actually I'm expecting something
from this thing called "reality".

"For what am I living?"
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger to march on.
I do welcome friends and foes.

How do I open the next door? I'm thinking.
The unretractable story has begun.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

There is still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I want to start all over again so that I can complete what I haven't done.
Shall we go AGAIN?

"For what am I living?"
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger. I feel the nostalgia.
I welcome this pain.

I posted this so I won't have to go anywhere looking for english translation of the song thereby saving me time and effort. He he...I'm not a state alchemist I can't make things appear when I want to.

A local video music channel always play this video. In the video they look like punk rockers but they are more of a hiphop group. Yes, Sandara Park is now a HIPHOP artist - I'm not joking. At least that's how they are marketed but we all know they are sugar pop.Their video has two versions "space" and "street". Street as in hiphop kind of street. As much as I like Sandara - she's sweet not street. 2NE1 is quite successful already and congratulations to them. Manufactured Ghetto...nobody cares about credibility anymore?


For the life of me, there are people who don't understand what sugar pop or bubblegum pop is!!! No it's not a jingle for candy and sweets geesh.



Where on earth is Sandara? LOL

SNSD / Girls Generation Genie English Translation / They'll Fulfill Our Fantasies!!

Snsd girls say they'll fulfill our fantasies and dreams LOL. To save me time trying to figure out what they are saying I decided to post SNSD Genie song English Translation here. Credits to allkpop for sharing...what's wrong with that? Look at them they are all good-looking.

Genie English Translation

Turn it up, just turn it up! That’s right, come on!
Tell me your wish! Tell me the wish that is in your heart.
Tell me what is on your mind. Look to me, I’m your Genie, your Dreams, your Genie

Ride your dream car, I’m next to you in the passenger seat.
Before we go, throw everything into wherever your heart leads.
Even though feel as if your heart is about to explode, even though feel like being swept up by the winds,
right now, this moment, the world is yours.

Yes, I love you. Trust me anytime. Dreams, passion, I want to give them to you.
I am a girl that wants to grant your wish.
Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for you boy!) Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for your wish)
Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for your dream) Tell your wish only to me (I’m Genie for your world)

Tell me your wish! Aren’t you tired of boring days?
Are you used to a normal lifestyle? Wake up already. I’m your Superstar, shining star, superstar.

The sound of your trembling heartbeat’s Harley (Davidson motorcycle for those of you who don’t know what Harley is) Trust me with your body. Now, this world is your stage.
A wave that’s like a sea of cheers, in my heart you’re warm. I’m your road. Forever your biggest fan

Hey tell me what you need. Tell me what you hope.
DJ! Put it back on.
Yes, I love you. Trust me anytime. Dreams, passion, I want to give them to you.
I am a girl that wants to grant your wish. Tell me your wish!
I love you. I’m your Music. I love you. You’re my Joy.
I love you. I want to be your good fortune.
(Tell me your fantasy without hiding it, I’m a Genie, I’ll show you the way
Tell me the wishes that you hold without hiding it, I’m your Genie, ill grant them)

Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for you boy!) Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for your wish)
Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for your dream) Tell your wish only to me (I’m Genie for your world)
Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for you boy!) Tell me your wish (I’m Genie for your wish)

Tell Me Your Wish is the first single off SNSD / Girls Generation new mini-album (after Gee). Get their original CDs if available in your area. I feel like an owner of a record label I'm not LOL. The album cover is spectacular!!

The Fuss Over Shojo S (English) / Hottest Bleach Opening Yet

Bleach Opening 10 is Shojo S by Scandal. Just look at Rukia and Orihime let it all go dancing like there's no tomorrow! This is the new Bleach opening for episode 215. Some Bleach fanboys don't like it even with Rukia and Orihime dancing. What on earth do you want? Ichigo and Ishida shaking their booties instead? HA! Crazy otakus! Some say Kon made the video. Kon is Tite Kubo - he made the character anyway. Nah, I'm playing.

Shojo S must be the hottest Bleach opening which is apt for its SUMMER!!! Yeah enjoy Rukia displaying a bit of her s-xuality normally absent in the series. Yes, Naruto Shippudden ladies got into dancing several episodes ago but NOT LIKE this. I will post Shojo S music video once available. I'm interested.

I don't remember any hot Bleach opening maybe because I'm tired? I'll try to recall some but for now this is the show's hottest opening song yet. I'm sure many more will follow.

In case you're wondering what the band is saying (like I did) here's a translation

Shojo S English Translation

by Scandal

I guess I'm trying to say thank you?

I only let a tiny bit of honesty show through

As the days wind down trying to blame someone else is just running away

Anyways, I'm sorry. Goodbye

Chorus

I wanna hold your hand when you're gone. I'm selfish like that.

(Never gonna let it go. Never gonna give it up)

I wanna know what love and friendship mean

(I don't dig how. It's always so vague.)

Someday you will bust the lock on my heart

The door to my heart is closed up tight

Waiting for you to knock

I don't need anything else

I wanna believe in tomorrow

This is Shojo S English Translation please enjoy it Bleach fans (courtesy of Dattebayo). It is still incomplete as the song's single is yet to be released. I will update this and find a full translation soon.

Who's Sky chord? (English Translation)

"Don't leave me, Sky chord!" a young woman cries in her song. But who is Sky chord? Most probably the singer's loved one and as for Orihime - Ishida er, Ichigo. I wonder if Orihime wants to turn back the pendulum and win Ichigo (by the way February's not over yet). Who's your Sky chord? I do hope you don't have one.

Ichigo is making Orihime love him more because of his stance against Ulqiorra. I can't wait to see the Arrancar get pawned. Ichigo's getting all the main female characters in Bleach - girl hog. I'm kidding.

Initially my reaction was WHAAAAAT Sky chord? What kind of guy would want a pseudonym like that? I was surprised by the name but I liked the song the moment I heard it. It is now included in my favorite Bleach Soundtracks

Here's Sky chord Otona Ni Naru Kimi He unofficial English translation:

I can’t sing a song with a honest lyrics
because I always end up sugar coating the words
When someone as laid-back as me
realize he had something worth protecting?

Don’t leave me, Sky Chord,
You would’ve stayed here back then, yeah yeah…
I’ve lost you, Sky Chord,
It’s not anyone’s fault, but…

I know there are things more important to me
than becoming an adult.
But I’ll be growing up the whole time
I’m trying to figure out what they are.

You say we can’t stay like this forever?
I know.. so let’s take that first step.

Sky chord otona ni naru kimi he (acoustic)

The song is as beautiful as Orihime. I'm still Ichiruki though.

Somebody please kick Hiyori's rear. Yachiru is enough! I wonder what will happen if the two ever meet - the two of Soul Society's most spoiled rotten brats (too bad for Lurichiyo - she's a filler character."We are not happy!"LOL!). Most likely, they'll be best of friends and will tear up Seireitei. Kubo Forbid. Seriously. Both of them will dominate Shinigami Cup - imagine the horror among the other characters.

All these mushiness will disappear come next month but for now...
