Don't Wanna Lie

I can associate the title to two things I am currently fangirl-ing on: (1) B'z; and (2) Detective Conan (DC). Both are influences by my partner, who is quite busy busying me with these, so I could refrain doing nonsensical activities, such as saying that the pilot episode of Once Upon a Time is good. Don't Wanna Lie is a song written and performed by a Japanese rock band, B'z, and is used as one of the opening songs of one of the most popular, and highly regarded, Japanese anime, DC (also known as Case Closed), based on the manga with the same title.

     Upon hearing a few songs by the mentioned band a few months ago, I was already convinced to look for their albums and singles. This year is actually the 25th year of the band, and they recently released two album compilations featuring their songs since 1988. If you haven't heard about them, or if you had but didn't express much interest before, I suggest you watch this 43-minute digest, featuring their most popular songs through the years:


     Unlike B'z, I am 80% certain this time, that you have come across DC at least once in your life. If you haven't, then I would be partly delighted to know that I'm not the only caveman around. Last year, my view is consistent that the anime and manga is just about a young detective shrunk into a boy by the bad guys, who stumbles on many intriguing murder cases almost every day. Despite the manga's 19 lively years, It is just this year that I was told and I personally discovered the interesting characters and character developments, and amazingly executed plot twists, present in the DC world.
     There you have it! Comment if you like them or started liking them, so we can hype together.

A sketchwalk was actualized yesterday, and I'm quite glad for being a part of it even if it was just for a few minutes. I haven't drawn anything for a long while, and the event pushed me to exercise my drawing skill again.
     Also, I finished layouting a blog this morning. I'll tell you about it if the design's approved.
