Let's Do The News! (May 1, 2012)

Guess we've finally talked about more about THE IDOLM@STER G4U. Kinda peculiar that this is somewhat similar from that Dead or Alive Paradise or 3DS' Dead or Alive Dimensions where you can take pics of your favorite DOA girls. I'm curious of this, but anyway, it's now time to do the news but before that, BBC announced Top Gear Live 2012 schedule at the NEC Birmingham, this October 25 to 28, 2012. That's a far schedule ahead but let's move on...

Guess what, James? I've never know you look good being a miniature version of yourself via Augmented Reality! Anyway, Capt. Slow (or Mr. Slowly) for the first time showing up for some Augmented Reality Science Stories as part of Making of the Modern World exhibition. iPhone and iPad users may download James May's Science Stories App at the App Store for just $2.99. After that, you have to visit Science Museum in South Kensington and find something that will trigger a virtual James May sharing some fun facts.What if you can't make it there? No problem! You can print the marker and bring virtual James May to your home! Freaking sweet!

Uh, can you cut that out? I don't want anyone talking about the virtual me...This is going to be as sick as hell if they do that...




I can't believe Captain Slow gets his virtual self for the exhibition! Anyway, forget about this rubbish and move on...

Uh, back at your talk about G4U, is there really an unaired episode of THE IDOLM@STER anime coming at the final volume?

Yes, yes I am, Clarkson. That never before seen episode looks like this...



That really got me...Still, is that unaired episode coming in THE IDOLM@STER DVD and Blu-Ray volume 9?

Of course, Clarkson. That will come this late June 2012, just a few weeks after the 7th anniversary celebration. So, will you get your hands on it?

Uh, no Hamster. No, I don't want to. And I don't really get about the whole G4U stuff you told about. Let's move on to something else...You know Danny Choo? Internet personality and host of Culture Japan? Guess what, he got himself a new ride replacing his Nissan March (Micra) that Danny Choo often drove. Here's the pic..

Danny Choo's Nissan Dualis

It seems that Danny Choo's Micra has been replaced by a Qashqai (Dualis on that case)! That's right! Danny Choo now drives a Qashqai and the whole Mirai Suenaga itasha is just the fitting touch for his new crossover. Danny Choo's Qashqai was been displayed at the recently concluded NicoNico Chokaigi event hosted by NicoNico Douga at the Makuhari Messe last week. You could never guess that this event do packed an mini itasha car show on that venue, showcasing the brightest or the dimmest of itasha cars.


Uh, excuse me but, Danny Choo now drives a Qashqai?

Yes indeed, James. The crossover that is engineered in Britain, made in Japan, and this is the kind of crossover that Danny Choo suits him well.

Mr. Choo, if you're reading, this, CONGRATULATIONS on your new Qashqai or Dualis and hope you enjoy the new car!

(audience clapping)

Good luck on your Qashqai! Now anyway, Hammond and May, you know the Kyoto Animation Award? Back in 2009, Kyoto Animation (famous for animes such as K-ON, Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, CLANNAD, and others) launched the KyoAni Awards and offered 300,000-yen (about US$3,600) grand prizes and 100,000-yen honorable mention prizes in novel, manga, and scenario (script treatment) categories. Now on this year, no one wins.

(ooohhh)

No. I'm not making this up. Nobody won this year's KyoAni awards!

What? Nobody won this year's Kyoto Animation Award?


Wow, that puts the people who submitted their entries really upset about that announcement. Nobody won? Oh my...

Indeed it is Richard, after reviewing their submissions, it seems that the committee couldn't select the winner. Don't think this is the first time happened. Back in 2010, no grand prize winners named, which made them very angry.

Oh, I can't believe there is such award that...nobody wins.

(laughing)

Glad I'm wasn't part of that. (laughing)

Good thing, Hammond. I'm not on that. Even though I was impressed about KyoAni works such as K-ON, Haruhi, and Lucky Star, that awards was just suck as hell. Who would think that kind of award that nobody wins? What was that? Can you think of a single award that nobody wins after weeks of submission? Only this one!

(laughing)

ONLY THIS ONE!!! GET IT?

(laughing)

Anyway, tomorrow, Kia Motors going to release a Korea-only flagship sedan that serves as the first RWD Kia ever made. It's called the K9 and judging by its exterior, this is just fantastic. We'll be tackling that Korea-only flagship tomorrow and oh, I just realized something. It seems that GM Korea Company, the Korean subsidiary of General Motors, unveiled the Chevrolet Corvette (쉐보레 콜벳) for the very first time in South Korea. Guess it's better late than ever but this is the final year for this generation. Expect the same 430hp 6.2-liter V8 engine linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission that allows for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 4.3 seconds.


Wait, Koreans now get the Corvette? How's that possible?

Hammond, remember last year? Chevrolet arrived in South Korea as a replacement to the Daewoo brand and the company name change from GM Daewoo Auto and Technology to GM Korea Company. The Korean Chevy lineup consists of the Orlando, Aveo (Sonic in other countries), Cruze, Spark, Cruze5 hatchback, Captiva, Camaro, and Malibu. Honorable mentions include an Alpheon (a Korean Buick LaCrosse), Damas, and Labo.

Okay, Clarkson. I got it now. But there's something I felt sad for...

What?

Aston Martin DBS Ultimate

The Aston Martin DBS...This is everyone's favorite Aston ever since it was featured in Bond movies such as Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. The Kuwaiti-owned British sports car maker launched a "complete special" edition of the DBS, called the DBS Ultimate, and its only up to 100 units built to bid a farewell to the DBS' tenure because a replacement is coming next year. This pack some bespoke paint colors, exterior and interior trim accents, and alloy wheel designs.


This is just like...well you know. But I'm sure the replacement for the DBS will be as better as cars they get but what I wish for is that the buttons should be easy to understand and ditch the useless Volvo sat-nav just like what they did to the Virage. The Aston Martin Virage has a better sat-nav than other Astons!

Anyway, that's the news and let's go make some FISH FINGERS AND CUSTARD later!
