Today I thought that I finally had the chance to sit at home and relax, especially after a somewhat stressful week at work. However that was not the case as I made a trip down into Sydney, and for good reason. Yuki Kajiura was going to be at Kinokuniya for an autograph session. Now I wouldn’t exactly say that I’m a big fan of hers, but I have enjoyed the music she has composed for a number of series such as Noir, the .hack series, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Kimagure Orange Road. Still, it’s not often that we get to see such a special guest here in Australia, so I took this chance to head down there, and return home with this:

I for one enjoyed Noir greatly, and it just so happens that this Noir boxset is also the first DVD boxset that I completed when I began my venture to the Otaku side of the Force. So having this autographed by Yuki Kajiura makes it that much more special to me. Though I bet some of you are asking why she is here in Sydney. Well it just so happens that this weekend is also Eminence’s A Night in Fantasia 2007, which I will be attending tomorrow as well. It will also be my first time attending an Eminence concert so I’m not sure on what to expect, but rest assured, you will be surprised about a little something which I’ll mention later.

Also to note, I also turned down a photography job with my photography boss to attend this autograph session. I do feel kind of bad turning down the job as he likes working with me. I brought the shiny camera hoping to get a photo with Yuki Kajiura, but upon arrival, I was told that photos weren’t allowed, uguu~~~ Since it was also a trip to Kinokuniya, I didn’t walk away empty handed:

It’s a manga called Nusunde Lilth, and I have absolutely no idea on what it’s about. The second volume was in the New Release section of Japanese manga and I just so happened to get it, and went searching for the first volume which I also found. This was bought on a random whim, and I just found the coverart to be cute. But you know how it goes, being random is the best!
