Anipan successfully made their goal in the last, few, agonizing minutes that myself and many others rooting for anipan watched! It was grueling! It was amazing! It was down right mind-blowing! Anipan will have a successful launch thanks to everyone.
Good luck to Eddz and Toad setting it all up! Cheers to anipan!

March 20, 2012
So the day started out with us heading to Hansen to check the mail, eat, and get gas before we headed out to the what we thought was going to be the Naha, Aeon.
Unfortunately, it was raining and since we left so late, there was a ton of traffic on the road. It was about 3PM when we finally started heading that way so we got to really look around at our surroundings as Himi drove. We crossed over the bridge where Kojima was so I knew we were not too far from Shuri Castle. It was pretty neat to recognize where we were. It was a ways from there, but we found the dealer ship we were supposed to turn at after passing gigantic Pachinkos. One even reminded us of Nevada because it was designed in the Egyptian style.
Not long after the turn we saw a small strip mall that had an enormous Best Denki. We also saw a much bigger Yamada Tech like the one in Gushikawa and another Toys R Us. We made sure to log where these places were so we could come back to them on another day.
We didn’t see Aeon at all and we got to the end of the street and had to make a left and try get back to what we saw that looked like a big mall. It was called Naha Main House. We missed the parking garage turn again, so we went around on the bottom floor a few times before we were kindly directly out onto the tile with other cars because traffic was so bad for parking. The traffic guy asked us in Japanese if we minded parking out in the rain and thankfully I understood him! We were in dire need of the bathrooms by then! We were in traffic for nearly two hours to get there. The bathroom was a bit crowded, but it had some really nice ones at least.
The set of the place was very similar to Aeon. It had a grocery store and lots and lots of clothing shops. It may not have looked that big on the outside, but the inside was huge! There was a store just like Best Denki in there, but it was called something else - Doeco or something like that. It had some really nice selections for everything that they had and I was finally able to obtain a slim case for my electronic dictionary that was in a color I wanted. That was the first floor and it was really crowded so we headed up stairs after getting a cart to put the chillen in since he was being all sorts of antsy.
There was a really good music store there! They had the vocaloid CD I wanted to buy off of CDjapan with the external bonus! I was so happy! I also found other CDs that I wanted including the soundtrack to the first Evangelion movie 1.0! I was in heaven. At least it was easy to find in there since it was all clumped together and it was then that I learned I was behind a Dir en grey album. I passed on getting it only because I wanted the other CDs more.
We then headed over to the bookstore which was right next to it. The chillen got pretty fussy in there. I found that the selection really wasn’t all that great compared to the other ones we had been visiting so I didn’t buy too much. But I did find Pocket Monsters manga that I had been looking for. The rest of the floor was pretty much clothes and food so we tried the third floor. It was all parking from there on up with lots and lots of vending machines. Chillen was very adamant on using the escalators so we used those to leave and were surprised to see that we were the only ones left on the tiles outside.
The same guy was still working so he helped us out and we had to do another round about to get to the main road again. Naha is beautifully lit at night compared to Ishikawa. There are more than enough Pachinkos in Naha to light your way home for sure! We did, unfortunately, see one accident on the way home. It looked like the people in the cars were okay, but that was the first accident I had seen there.
The rest of the drive was nice and not as crowded since it was pretty late and the chillen fell asleep in the car. We talked about random things for our storylines all the way home to keep ourselves occupied and not focused on the lull of rain on the windshield.
We got to putting our music on and making an edited car playlist since we kept running into songs that were a bit too slow for driving. All and all it was a good for finds even though we didn’t find Aeon. The CDs were worth it!

March 16, 2012 - March 19, 2012
Took some minor trips to Hansen to check the mail as usual had the typical dinner and lunch, got things we needed and whatnot. Had to get ready for our busy week ahead of us.
On the 18th, we were invited to curry down at Coco’s by the neighbor and well we encountered some unusual service to say the least. I am almost certain we were going to kicked out that night based on behavioral issues. They asked us to pay for our check right away after the neighbor paid for her half. We asked if we could still sit there and finish our food since the chillen was still eating. Thankfully we were allowed to. It was just strange since they’ve never asked Himi to pay before. I found it to be pretty embarrassing to say the least to the point I wasn’t sure we’d be able to eat there again.
On Monday, we went to Kadena and Goodwill. We tried to take a short cut to Goodwill, but just wound up going around in circles. There was a turn you had to gun it at otherwise you wouldn’t get across when the light changed because of traffic. So we wound up going to Aeon and turning around in the parking lot to get back to it. I bought the Music Maker MX Producer Edition so I could start making music for my Vocaloids and Himi ordered Gumi Whisper. The resident English speaker on staff that day kept stressing that there were no refunds or exchanges to us. Another sales associate was saying that the vocaloid she was ordering may not work with her computer so that was worrisome to both of us since we hadn’t loaded them yet.
We went to Kadena from their for groceries and such - the usual. We saw the lady that works at the Hansen Baskin Robins shopping for the store. She recognized the chillen right away before she saw us. It was pretty neat and we found some good deals that day so it was all good.
The drive home wasn’t bad and while Himi played some more Zelda I did some rapid translating so we could load our vocaloids. Like I had predicted, as you set it up there is a feature to have it in English and it loads the program’s menus and settings in English for you. So the set up process really didn’t need to be translated, but it was good to have it just in case. Everything loaded fabulously! So never fear those out there with an American computer and want a vocaloid! The Vocaloid 3 editor and voice banks all load with no problems at all. For CUL there was an extra program to load, but it didn’t work quite as well since some of it wouldn’t display, but it doesn’t affect the voice bank at all.
I loaded the Music Maker next and that loaded okay. Most of the screens were the same and the instructions were nearly identical. There was a bit of glitching, but it worked just fine!
