31 Days of Dead 2019: Project Wrap-Up

Hey Now Kids!

I have emerged after a much needed rest. I want to take the opportunity to personally express my thanks to all of you for following this year’s edition of the Unofficial 31 Days of Dead and for all of the messages and kind words that you have sent me. This was a pretty ambitious project that kept me busy right up until the final day, so I apologize for the delay or lack of response to some of your emails. It was a fun ride, and we covered a lot of ground. Here are some quick stats:

31 Days 86 Songs 23 Different years represented 12 hours, 6 minutes of music

1.79 GB of music

…and of course, 10 Years doing these projects

As in past years, I have provided a full track listing and zipped and uploaded all of the mp3 files so that you can download for your future listening pleasure.

WHAT WERE YOUR FAVORITE TRACKS???? I would love to hear what your favorites were this year. Some of you have reached out already and I truly appreciate it. I’m always curious what you liked and what you didn’t like so that I can make improvements in the future.

THANK YOU!! These projects are a big undertaking and there is no way I could do it all on my own. I want to take this opportunity to recognize two key people who helped out. First, a big thank you to Brian Levine who has been providing the artwork since I started doing these projects in 2010. Each year his artwork gets better. He obviously takes our tagline very seriously – “When they go high, we go higher.”

I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to my long-time friend, Jason Freitag, who hosts these projects on his blog, Liner Notes Music Blog. The blog provides an online home where you can reference these projects anytime you want. Also, if you like the 31 Days of Dead then you should be sure to check out “Grateful Dead Monthly” which is a fun side project that Jason and I collaborate on each month that features a GD show on the anniversary of that particular show. So, if you are not already following Liner Notes Music Blog, then I urge you to do so. Not only can you get your Grateful Dead fix but there are articles and playlists that cover the musical spectrum from jazz to Indie.

If you are having 31 Days withdrawal then you get can you get your fix by following me on Instagram @31daysofdead

Wishing you all the best in the New Year!

[#TheFourWeekendPlan]

May 11

So the four-weekend plan begins with the usual mall-hopping trip at a mall in Novaliches and the three malls in the Fairview area, plus a sip of cappuccino frappe at a cafe in Lagro and a tempura bowl at a Japanese fast food in SM Fairview. I visited every second-hand bookshop in these malls and checked the shelves for some interesting manga titles. I also checked other shops as well.

I checked SM Novaliches expansion at the former BPO area, and it looks like Macao Imperial Tea will open a branch there. And I find a couple of interesting manga books (one of them is Aldnoah.Zero) at Booksale’s branch in that mall as well, only I can’t spend too much at the moment.

While I had cappuccino frappe and siomai at a cafe in Lagro, I also had a fantastic (early) dinner--a tempura bowl at Karate Kid... and I get to eat with chopsticks too (yup, they actually provide chopsticks upon request). Well, I’m getting better at using chopsticks, and I don’t have to take off my fingerless gloves just so I can eat. Amazing, isn’t it?

Of course, there’s the usual rooftop retreat at the Fairview Terraces roof garden, where I worked on some of the 6+1 stories to be featured on an upcoming literary special. While I initially target to publish the literary special post on the 19th of May, I decided to move it to a later date.

The night ends with just checking a couple of shops in the mall area. I didn’t get to check HMR, though.

May 12

A mother’s day celebration at my mom’s house, with my aunt and cousins. We had a small feast of pancit canton.

It’s been a while since I visit my mom since she had classes on Sundays. She is aiming to be an instructor specializing in tile setting, and I hope she makes it.

Meanwhile, I managed to spend an hour at Fairview Terraces roof garden writing stories and checking the venue of the upcoming event POF 2019: Asobu at the Robinsons Novaliches Trade Hall. Regarding the latter, it looks like they’re going to occupy the entire area, which is actually great considering that they need to accommodate a great number of congoers, plus the exhibitors' booths. And they even have an area for press briefings and meet-and-greet activities.

I eventually have the convention map and the schedule of the event, which were posted on their Facebook page. I’m hoping to attend the first day of the event (Friday, May 17th) just to catch the Otaku Choice Awards.

May 17-19

For the post: The Keihancarl Diaries: May 17-19, 2019

Well, it seems like I can go to the first day of the event after all. I get to have selfies with some of the cosplayers and bought some awesome souvenirs as well. And I did catch the first half of the Otaku Choice Awards.

For the rest of the event, I witnessed a variety of competitions, including various cosplay competitions and the battle of the bands. There were featured guests and performances, as well as fan meetups.

Of course, I did wear my favorite black fleece coat, an anime shirt, and black fingerless gloves, but only on the second and third day of the event. For the first day of the event, I opted for a pastel yellow shirt, black knitted vest, and the same black fingerless gloves.

It sure feels weird being at an otaku event all by myself, and I certainly looked like a misfit among the crowd of anime fans, die-hard otakus, and some cosplayers. Even though I’m a casual otaku watching English-dubbed anime, reading English-translated second-hand manga, listening to a few anime soundtracks, and probably collecting various anime merch, I certainly feel out of place there. I don’t know if there are some congoers who feels the same way, maybe some of them are just like me.

Despite this, I’m lucky enough to buy some souvenirs at the event, and I get to my idol Ariel Villasanta (see TKD post). And of course, I had selfies with some of the cosplayers too.

Though not as crowded and exciting as the previous POF events I’ve attended (POF 2017: Danketsu and POF 2018: Ai), I still managed to enjoy the event just the same. I hoped that the next POF event will be held at the same venue next year.

May 25

For the post: The Keihancarl Diaries: May 25, 2019

A mall-hopping trip commenced a week right after POF 2019: Asobu, but things didn’t go as expected. For starters, the heavy traffic in Deparo and Novaliches areas totally disrupted my mood, as well as the (expected) rainfall and some other inconveniences along the way. Also, Baywalk is closed in the meantime due to the desilting operations along the Manila Bay shoreline, from the U.S. Embassy up to the Manila Yacht Club.

On the brighter side, however, I really enjoyed taking selfies at the Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo, and these are the only selfie pics I took during the entire trip. And of course, the shrimp-chorizo fried rice at Habeat is really good. I somehow managed to check a few shops along the way, most of them are bookshops.

Anyway, while heading down the escalator at a mall in Binondo, an elderly man took notice of the red anime shirt I’m wearing, which says “People are my playthings”. He appeared to be a little wary of the shirt’s design, but I guess he didn’t really care much about it. Also, at a mall in San Lazaro area in Manila, a guy about my age (who probably works as a sales representative for a bank) apparently tried to approach me, thinking that my shirt and/or the pins are cool, and may probably be wondering where I got them. I simply didn’t pay him attention and walked off. Besides, I’m not really expecting some random stranger to approach me for whatever reason. As I ride the escalator to the upper level, I was kind of wondering if I actually encountered that guy during the otaku event exactly a week prior, probably as a cosplayer, but that’s just a 100% speculation and nothing else. Maybe he’s just curious, that’s all.

Just as I thought that my mall-hopping trip probably sucked, I happened to score another manga book at a Booksale branch in SM Fairview. Of course, I bought it immediately, seeing that it’s a popular title (Full Metal Alchemist) and I’m not gonna let this opportunity pass me by, so there!

It was quite an adventure... more like a misadventure, to be honest. But I somehow managed to enjoy the trip in a different way. I’m planning to wear the same outfit again on my next mall-hopping trip down south.

May 26

I visited my mom that day and assisted her with the module she’s working on. She didn’t have classes that day, so that means I can come over for a visit. While I initially have other plans for that day, I’ll just reserve it for the following week. Besides, I haven’t visited her in a while since her classes (which is on weekends, particularly Sundays) started last January.

June 1-2

The final week of the four-weekend plan didn't turn out great as expected. My Saturday afternoon plans began rather late, and the strap of my watch was torn along the way. I have to deal with it for a while until I either had the strap fixed or buy a new one.

I decided to wear my red anime shirt again and decided to head to Starmall San Jose Del Monte for a mall-hopping trip outside the Lagro-Fairview area. And then I had matcha cheesecake at a dessert shop in Lagro. My favorite cafe is already closed during that time, as it is past 5:00 PM when I arrived.

I then went on a mall-hopping trip in the Fairview malls and bought myself a gray shirt with a cool graphic print (a pumpkin holding a banner that says “I am not a latte”). I also checked the venue where POF 2019: Asobu was held two weeks ago, and it sure feels a little quiet there.

I was thinking of buying a new watch, even if that means I have to spend a lot of money just for that. I simply can't go out without wearing one. I had a donburi bowl at Tokyo Tokyo, this time it is chicken oyakodon. It was really good.

The following day, I decided to wear the gray shirt I bought yesterday and just focused on the three malls. I bought a Rockman mug at a bargain department store (Robinsons Novaliches) and had an early dinner of dumplings with laksa soup and Hainanese rice (Paotsin) at the Fairview Terraces food court.

The entire weekend ends with story writing up at the Fairview Terraces rooftop garden and a visit to some shops. And that concludes the four-weekend plan.

Postscript

In the past four weekends, I had cappuccino frappe, jasmine tea with rock salt and cheese, and matcha cheesecake, dined in Japanese fast food restos, attended a three-day otaku event, bought some cool stuff (especially the T-shirts and the pins), went on a problematic mall-hopping trip, wrote snippets of the stories and articles I’m currently working on, and don cool-looking outfits (especially the ones featuring my black fleece coat and black fingerless gloves).

Despite my excitement on these four weekends, I had mixed feelings about it, especially on the second and third week (the otaku event and the mall-hopping trip). Nevertheless, I did manage to enjoy the good things that happened and I might replicate this next year. I am so looking forward to the next POF event and a mall-hopping trip right after that.

Right now, I’m looking forward to the Manila International Book Fair 2019 and my 29th birthday celebration. And hopefully, another otaku event (probably Best Of Anime 2019) at the SMX Convention Center. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for these events... and my plans.

TOKYO CHRONOS And Spice and Wolf VR Embark On A World Tour Through AniVR Japan

TOKYO, Japan –June 28th, 2019 - MyDearest Inc. and Spicy Tails, the indie label led by Isuna Hasekura, the author of Spice and Wolf novel series, have announced that they have started a new project under the name of “AniVR Japan.” Through Japanese VR content, they seek to build a new community among Japan and the United States. Isuna Hasekura, the novelist behind the "Spice and Wolf" franchise, has been making forays into Japan and the United States.

TOKYO CHRONOS and Spice and Wolf VR have raised almost one million dollars through their crowdfunding projects. In order to grow these projects further with a worldwide focus, they have jointly decided to start this project. “AniVR Japan” will start its tour at “Anime Expo 2019” followed by “Crunchyroll Expo 2019,” “Tokyo Game Show 2019,” and “Anime NYC 2019.” To this end, we have established “AniVR Japan” to enhance the global awareness of Japanese VR content. We hope that “AniVR Japan” will increase the quantity of Japanese VR content and grow the VR market with anime and game titles.

“AniVR Japan” will go overseas to bring a huge wave of attention to the Japanese VR community. The project's name itself combines all the elements essential and to this project as "AniVR Japan" will proudly present Japan's unique anime VR experiences to new users, creators, gamers, and audiences all over the world. The "AniVR Japan" name was jointly created by MyDearest and Anime NYC.

Upcoming Exhibition

・7/4 - 7/7: Anime Expo 2019（Los Angeles）

・8/30 - 9/1: Crunchyroll Expo 2019（San Jose）

・9/12 - 9/19: Tokyo Game Show 2019)（Tokyo)

・11/16 - 11/18: Anime NYC 2019（New York）

*The total number of participants is estimated to be over 700,000.

Messages from the project owners of AniVR Japan

Kento Kishigami - MyDearest Inc. CEO

Currently, the mainstream of VR games is mainly FPS mostly in western countries. Of course, they are all wonderful works and great games.

However, are those the only games we want in VR?

I say “No.”

And this is why I went to see Isuna Hasekura and asked him, “Would you like to work together to create the virtual world where Japanese anime characters become the mainstream?”

“Spice and Wolf VR” is my favorite VR game and indeed one of the greatest VR contents so far. And we’ve made “TOKYO CHRONOS” with all our might.

This is going to be the prologue of the new VR world where anime characters make their own futures.

Isuna Hasekura – Spicy Tails Representative

When people experience VR for the first time, they find a new world. However, I believe everyone finds a different “new world.” It may be some country you’ve never been, someplace you can’t usually enter, or someplace where you can meet someone you can’t usually see. Therefore, we could say that VR is a kind of mirror which shows what players desire.

In VR, we have found a world where anime characters live.

Farewell to the reality! Hello, 2D world!

Let’s get to an adventure with the characters in your favorite anime.

Message from official project supporter

Peter Tatara - Anime NYC Event Director

I have been able to experience what the MyDearest and Spicy Tails teams are creating first hand, and I can't wait to share this with more fans in the USA. Anime fans dream of going inside anime, and - for the first time - AniVR Japan makes these dreams come true. There is absolutely nothing like immersing yourself in anime through VR, and the AniVR Japan project will now bring the best of Japan to fans across the world - uniting the whole world to enjoy Japan's creativity like never before. Anime NYC is very excited to be part of the AniVR Japan Tour!
