Fake cel I made based on a screenshot in a newspaper clipping about Fight! Osper/戦え！オスパー for a friend. I thought about it on the basis if Eiken or Sunrise did the show in say 1975.

[vintageanimemanga]

The first 3 chapters of Tatake! Osper have been translated in english! created by Koichi Yamano and Takashi Ina, look forward to more chapters coming later!

First school day back is over! Although the day was pretty uneventful, it was fun visiting around the classes again. Also quite enjoyable to see the looks on the MFE’s faces when I finally gave them their gifts from NYC. I would have posted about them here, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise in case they found any of my posts.

I got Ina a few minifig keychains from the LEGO store; of course, they were Batman and Superman, but I too cannot resist the pull of SuperBat, so I caved.

Nadia was kind of difficult to shop for, until I remembered she’s a sticker and magnet hog, and I collected TONS of both at pretty much every gift shop I came across. I should have filmed her reaction LOL

Ryan’s gift was the first one I bought. In the NBC gift shop, there’s a section of merch just from “The Office.” So, I got him the “WORLD’S BEST BOSS” mug. He’s no one’s boss, and I told him to leave it in the break room. He laughed.

James was. Expensive. I’m just gonna show you what I got for him.

He named it Hank Oliver. Keith’s jealous.

Otherwise, today was normal. I mean, I did talk an entire classes’ ears off about the NY trip, but they seemed pretty engaged in what I had to say (especially when Keith accompanied Lance to the ER; story for another time), so I don’t think they minded much.

Speaking of those two, Lance actually left with Keith. I don’t blame him. I think he misses space. If anyone could brave it and have a good time doing so, it’s them. They promised to call me at least once a month.

Kamisuwa Onsen, collected random infos

Back in March, a reader of this blog asked for a blog entry in the vein of previous "the look of..." features, but for Kamisuwa Onsen 上諏訪温泉. Sadly, there isn't much visual material available and the basic look of the 3 or less remaining Geisha boils down to: Yohatsu, Homongi, light-coloured Obiage, Otaiko Musubi, or the formal look: Tsubushi Shimada, Kurotomesode, red Obiage, Otaiko Musubi. So here, I present some collected random infos you might find interesting.

Kamisuwa Geisha, Setsubun 2014

Dances Kappore かっぽれ Takeda bushi 武田節 Kiso bushi 木曽節 Kohan bushi 湖畔節 Ina bushi 伊奈節 Shôchikubai 松竹梅 (performed in the new year season) Tsurukame 鶴亀 (performed at wedding receptions and birthdays) O-Suwa Takashi お諏訪節 Sukêto bushi スケート節 (Ice skating on lake Suwa) Kirigamine kouta 霧ヶ峰小唄 (ice skating) Onhashira kouta 御柱小唄 Suwa ondo 諏訪音頭 (about the beauty of Suwa throughout the seasons) Okaya kouta 岡谷小唄 (about the Okaya silk industry) Numbers 1930's ("early Showa period"): 200 Geisha in Kamisuwa 1958: 80 1960's: 300 2006: 3 History The first Hanamachi on lake Suwa developed in Nawatemachi 縄手町/畷町 in 1903 (renamed to Otemachi 大手町 in 1909). In the following years, a few Ryotei were established. In 1920, the area of Otemachi 1 and 2 chôme was designated as area for Geisha, so Okiya and Ryotei of the neighbouring Izumichô area 和泉町 were moved there. In the early Showa period (1920's/30's), Okiya that were formerly located in Hamamachi also moved to Otemachi. Kamisuwa had two kenban: Ote kenban 大手見番 and Koyanagi kenban 湖柳見番. In Shimosuwa 下諏訪, it seems kenban had no specific names. In Okaya 岡谷, there used to be another Koyanagi kenban 小柳見番 in the Honmachi area. In Chino 茅野, there were Miyagawa kenban 宮川見番 (current Miyagawacho area), and Eimei kenban ���明見番 (current Nakacho area). Before the around 1969/70, Geisha of these respective cities did not work in other cities. But with the decline of Geisha numbers, the Hanamachi in Okaya, Shimosuwa and Chino were no longer able to meet the demands of their customers, so it was allowed for Geisha from Kamisuwa to pad those numbers.

Chiyomaru 千代丸 in "Showa Meigiren", 1988 Daily life Geisha usually practiced their respective arts (such as Narimono, Nagauta, Kouta, dance) until 15:00, afterwards they went to the beauty parlour to get their hair done, put on makeup and change into work clothes. Ozashiki usually lasted for two hours. Style In the year 1935, Geisha still wore their natural hair instead of wigs, and their hairstyle changed, depending on rank and age. Hangyoku wore Momoware 桃割れ and Oshidori おしどり. Geisha under 26 years wore Yuiwata 結い綿 or Taka shimada 高島田, no info on Geisha between 26 and 30, Geisha aged 31 and above wore Geiko yui 芸こ結い, tsubushi (shimada?) つぶし, icho gaeshi 銀杏返, and yokai maki 夜会まき. Around 1955, most Geisha wore short hair or western updos on a daily base and used Nihongami wigs for work. Becoming Geiko Three mediators who acted as go-between of Okiya and families/volunteers worked in Kamisuwa. According to Manchiyo, who worked from 1930 to 44 in Otemachi, the daughters of poor farmers and travelling entertainers were sold to the Okiya for 15 yen. When the parents met with the Okiya, the length of the girl's service was decided. After becoming employed by the Okiya, the girls were doing "odd jobs", while taking lessons in Hanayagi-ryu dance, Shamisen and other arts. It's like Shikomi in Kyoto, although no specific term is named. When a Hangyoku was ready to become a Geisha, she had to prove her skills in dance or shamisen to a council of dance/shamisen teacher, Okiya owner, senior Geisha, head of the Geisha association and a member of the Kenban. The Okiya spent around 30 yen for an Erikae, while the Geisha had to take a loan of 150-200 yen. If her parents were to borrow money during her time before becoming independent, it was added to her loan. If parents continued to ask for money and the Geisha's debt became too large, they often became prostitutes in order to pay off their debts. Around 2 years after becoming Geisha, they became "Goshugi tori" ご祝儀取り - they receive some of the money from the Gyokudai, but tips were entirely for them to keep. The next level was called "share" 分け, when 40% of all earnings were her own. When becoming independent from their Okiya, they paid fees for food and being registered at the place. Most Geisha also had a patron after becoming independent, which also lead to most of them retiring before the age of 30. @gardengeisha yes, this is about Kamisuwa Onsen located in Suwa-gun in Nagano prefecture!

Not knowing what to expect, Takashi is uncertain about it all, due to the fact he grew up in the suburbs for the majority of his life and knows little about it. With an unclear future ahead, Takashi is worried that he won't make a life worthwhile here and worse yet, he will end up running his beloved Grandfather's farm into the ground. He will have to rely on what little knowledge of farming he picked up over the years of his childhood, during the times he came to visit his Grandfather's farm in the summertime. Due to a misfortune that is no fault of his own, Takashi can never return home- and thus he has no choice but to pull himself up by his farmer's overalls and do his best to cultivate a life worth living in Marmora Town. As he struggles through his first year of farming, Takashi begins to believe that his efforts will bear no fruit- and just as he's about to lose all hope, it arrives in a place that he least expects. In the form of an estranged childhood friend that he thought he'd never see again. The jack of all trades within the town. His former best friend, Keith Kogane.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TURN THIS INTO A FANFICTION!! James Griffin, Ryan Kinkade, Ina Leifsdottir and Nadia Rizavi reacting to the Paladins of Voltron together with Adam W. and Veronica McClain. While Sam Holt was on the ship made videos to have as memories and the camera on the ship also filmed nice and sweet moments of the team bonding. James never really hated Keith but It was a rivalry made because James thinks Keith rejected him. But in the video James hears Keith talking about being angry that he was mean towards someone on earth (James) because he thought that James hated him. So a James/Keith love story, past Keith/Lance and Adam still pinning for Shiro.

Futur children n. 3 (The garrison!!!)

The garrison??? What do you mean by that???? Ehhhh

Peter (Peter Griffin???? HAHAHA): Brown hair, green eyes and freckles. Logical and with a good memory, decisive and honest, reserved and silent. He is the son of James Griffin and Ina Leifsdottir!!!!

Fanny: Dark skin, dark brown hair, glasses, red headband!!!, olive green eyes, and of course camera and camcorder!!!. She seems cheerful and outgoing, a lover of movies and cinema, fun and always ready to snoop around and get into trouble. She daughter of Nadia Rizavi and Ryan Kinkade ???? Obviously!!!

Hinata: Pale skin and black hair, blue eyes and glasses. She is introverted and silent, reserved and fair, courageous and decisive. She is the adopted daughter of Shiro and Curtis, she is originally from Japan.

[akirayorak]

The MFEs are attacked during a rountine mission by Empire stragglers using questionable machinery that Haggar cooked up.

They wake up in their younger bodies on board the Castle of Lions right after the Olkarion mission.

(James & Keith can finally talk about everything that happened before their trip into space.)

Modified MFEs from Altean pods. Kinkade making the Voltron Promo Vid (also Voltron Reality TV)

Ina is quickly submerged into Hunk & Pidge’s techno babble. Green adores her (and if she’s encouraging her paladin to make a move, well its only logical)

Nadia and Lance get along so well that it’s scary. But she also spends a lot of time telling and teaching Allura about Earth culture.

Corran’s number system is all out of whack but he likes teaching about Altean culture.

Allura & Corran are quite happy to know that they are still Alteans out there somewhere. James emphasizes that Keith is the one to find them.

(Keith tells him about how Allura treated him when she found out that he was a hybrid. He was scared that James would do the same)

(Oh they also can’t go home. The whole timeline has been rewritten. (None of them mention Keith’s hybrid status (James confirms it to him in private)

Red likes James. Think he’s a little uptight at first until that all just goes out the window when he’s around Keith. Red approves. (Black does too when he finds out that Keith was his paladin after Shiro went missing) (James tells Shiro and Black in the Lion’s Den that he died and his soul was being held in the astro plane. He doesn’t know all the details. Only what Future Keith told him)

When the Paladins act weird around Keith after the Galra reveal, the MFEs surround and protect him. (Shiro is glad his brother has got such good friends)

Thace is saved. (James refuses to let Keith’s uncle die (I refuse to believe that Keith and Thace werent relates))
