• Let's start off with some Birth by Sleep!

If you haven't already noticed, I've added the Japan Official Birth by Sleep Site onto the links over on the left. I'm looking around the site right now, and if I find anything important, I'll tell you guys.

• The official release date for Birth by Sleep in Japan is January 9th, 2010.

Since Birth by Sleep is a prequel, about five of the Organization members' "complete beings" will be making appearences. This includes Braig (Xigbar), Aeleus (Lexaeus), Even (Vexen), Dilan (Xaldin), and Ienzo (Zexion).

Worlds Comfirmed for Birth by Sleep:

• Destiny Islands
• Olympus Coliseum
• Sunset Horizons
• Hollow Bastion
• Radient Garden
• Yen Sid's Tower
• Neverland
• Enchanted Dominion (from Sleeping Beauty)
• Dwarf Woodlands (from Snow White)
• Deep Space (from Lilo & Stitch)
• Castle of Dreams (from Cinderella)

-The Birth by Sleep trailer from Tokyo Game Show 2009, has been put on YouTube! (click here to watch)

-Also, a picture of Terra, Aqua and Ventus's trainer/master has been revealed. His name is Erauqs.

-Kai and I got to make some Sea Salt Ice Cream when we had our sleepover. I thought it tasted great, but not so much on her side... It was salty-sweet and tasted like salt water mixed with regular ice cream... reminded me of the beach...

-Kai and I both got copies of 358/2 Days. It's very fun, and the Multiplayer Mode rocked. I've currently just finished the game and I love the way everything came together in the end. I might do a quick rundown of the events in the game later on, but it will be all spoilers... anyway, I really can't wait for BbS now, because I still have a few more questions... but I also need to finish getting all the Secret Reports.

-I bought the original Final Fantasy on the Virtual Console for Wii, so I might talk about that in my next post.

-If you didn't notice in our last post, Kai and I are thinking of moving the blog to another host, like Blogger. However, we would still keep this blog around, it just wouldn't be updated as quickly.

-And in other blog news, we have gotten a Twitter! Yay! We'll probably update this whenever we post, have something to say, or found some news we don't want to post about.

That's all for now!

Luv,

-Nami

It's from Teresa Pastor and with her permission, we're posting it here for everyone to see!

And no, this not ours in anyway. We're just posting it.

Thank your for letting us post your art, Teresa!

Follow us on Twitter!

Bookmark us!

Tell everyone you know to come to this blog, and follow us on Twitter so that you'll know when we officially switch to Blogger. (Which we will do eventually...)

Bi from Kai! <3

I've changed our layout back to the original one we had back when we first started this blog.

I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful two years we've been running this blog.
(Especially you Kai! You deserve some well earned... ice cream, maybe?)

Anyway, I've had a nice time running and updating this blog, and it has definitely kept my interest in Kingdom Hearts and video games and blogging going strong.

We'll keep working our hardest for this blog, and I'm looking forward to my next year with everyone!

-Nami

 Um... we got the game?

Kai: Huh? No, that game is wierd. I was talking about me failing at Rock Band!!!!

Nami: Oh, really...hmm...

Kai: Well, and we got KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!! Both of us! We played multi-player mode and I PWND!!!

Nami: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no. fail. epic fail. EPIC.

Kai: well then...it wasn't THAT bad...

Nami: Umm...you made us abort the mission because YOU DIED 3 TIMES!!! (while I did not die ONCE!)

Kai: THIS IS MY FIRST DAY SMARTY!!!

Nami: Whatever, this is only my fourth!

Kai: Exactly! You've had 4 times as long to practice!

Nami: Whatever...want some more sea salt ice cream? It's delicious! <3

Kai: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! (leaves room)

Nami: Kairi, come back here!

Kai: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! (leaves house)

Nami: Kairi! Don't get run over by that big tru-  oh no...

Kai: Hey, I'm still here! I'm still in this very room!!!

Nami: Haha, I knew that....

Kai: Yeah, sure.....

Nami: Oh, what day is it?

Kai: October 2nd, why?

Nami: It's almost our 2 year aniversary!

Kai: Which means...?

Nami: Hello? We've had this same blog for 2 years!

Kai: I meant, does that mean we get to have a humango birthday cake?

Nami: No. We should, but no. We had sea salt ice cream.

Kai: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! (leaves room)

Nami: Yeah yeah yeah, you "leave the house, almost get run over, then magically appear behind me" Not falling for that again....

Kai: Namine! Help me! The dog is about to bite off my leg!

Nami: I don't have a dog, stupid!

Kai: The neighbor does!!!!!

Nami: Oh, right...oh well!

Kai: AHHHH! Hey, the dog let go! It loves me! <3

Nami: AHHH! Why are you here?

Kai: To tell you to try setting up an account on Blogger.

Nami: Why?

Kai: Because, we are humans who like to change.

Nami: Humans? Why not just say girls?

Kai: Oh, right.

Nami: Anyways, we'll probably also keep this blog updated, but you should all follow us on Twitter.

Kai: We have a Twitter account?

Nami: No, but we should.

Kai: Yeah, right after you get a Facebook!!!

Nami: I told you, my parents won't let me...sigh...

Kai: :P

Nami: Did you just stick your tongue out at me!?

Kai: What does :P look like to you?

Nami: (ignores Kai) Anyway, we are think about changing hosts, but we aren't entirely sure... and if we do, I'll keep udating this one ^^ And besides that... there' not much left?

Kai & Nami: See you guys later!

(Nami: We'll keep you updated!)

Being sick (with a plain old cold) is great ^^

I've been catching up on my sleep, eating sugar and Chinese food...

And there's only four more days until KH: 358/2 Days! Yay!
I pre-ordered mine with the In-Store pickup, so I'll probably be getting it later than most... but I want that poster! (And the postcards...)

Anyway, I honestly cannot wait to get my copy of the game, I've been doing my best to stay away from spoilers and all... so hopefully I'll be able to finish this one...

Also, I joined the cosplay club at my school, so maybe this year Kairi and I really can cosplay... otherwise, I'll just have fun with my other friends. I really want to cosplay Lucky Star and Hetalia, maybe even Love Roma?
I have no idea...

Also- I reached Chapter Three in My Life as a Darklord... It's getting better...

Luv,

~Naminé

Anyway, school... going back to classes everyday, back to the plain old routine... and more homework...

And I still have to wait another two weeks for Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days!

While I was gone, there have been lots of new screenshots and videos.

• IGN.com's videos
• IGN.com's screens

And the Symphonic Fantasies concert today with Kingdom Hearts music was put on YouTube (here).

More importantly: There is now an official Japanese Birth by Sleep site.

As for our own blog, I'm hoping to start posting more frequently and I changed the layout and took down the music ^^

I will probably update this post later, as I gather more news that I've missed. I've missed posting... and KH.

Also, I bought the new WiiWare game FFCC: My Life as a Darklord. It's definitely harder and faster-paced than My Life as a King. And more fun!

Luv,

~Naminé

I guess this means I should sign off...

Bi from Kai! (<---In case you haven't noticed, this is my new signature!)

Again-comment on blogging ideas.

 CONGRATULATIONS! You can read and follow directions!

Just playing with the mind. Kairi here with no news about Kingdom Hearts 3...except the fact that I went to Japan and got it!!! Yeah! I got it! It is amazing! It's not for Wii, (which SUCKS!!!) it's for the PS3. I had to buy one of course, but my mom was amazingly nice and got it for me for my birthday!!!!!

Okay, if you believe me, you are more of a sucker than I thought. Just kidding, I love all you followers! But no, I didn't go to Japan and no, I didn't get Kingdom Hearts 3. Unfortunately. I guess I'm gonna wait for it to come out so that I'll understand what they're actually saying without having to learn Japanese or bring my friend who understands Japanese. (shout out to Seifer if he's reading this!) And my last fib from above is that my mom is nice and she got me a PS3. She is nice, but she would never get me a PS3 now, because my birthday is long gone... *snifles*

Well, my dogs are here and bringing me their toys. And there goes the cat out the doggy door. Which (of course) means that Puki (my dog) will-yep-chase that cat out the door.

Anyways, I gots to go...

Bi from Kai! <3

I've been enjoying my summer too much! (And reading too much manga...)

I hope all of you are having a good summer, as well!

In KH news, a 358/2 Days manga has been announced! There was an eight page preview in Shonen Gangan. It looks really cool! It's nice to see the Organization in manga form!
If we're lucky, they'll translate it for us next year or so, after the game is out. But probably later than that...

Anyway, that's about it for now.

Not too many people from my school, but enough so that I wasn't lonely. And the music was really easy...

Other than that... this summer's looking good. I've just been hanging around... doing nothing! It feels really good...

I do have Taekwondo three times a week, but it's fun. Good exercise too!

I've been reading a lot of manga and stuff... I know, no life right? T-T
But I did read the book My Sister's Keeper a while ago, and I'm dying to see the movie! The ending to the book was really sad, but it was one of the best books I've ever read.

I'm just hoping the movie doesn't ruin it or anything.

Okay... not much else to say...

Luv,

~Naminé

~Kairi

I would import it... but that would cost around $70. And Namine is broke... -sniff-

Release Date for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days:

SEPTEMBER 29, 2009!

Trailer on SE Members Site
Trailer on YouTube

KH Insider reported on some unlockable joke weapons, and the 358/2 Days Ultimania cover.

The NA Square-Enix Members site has pictures of their E3 Booth and will probably be posting more information on 358/2 up until the release, so now would be a good time to join.

Also featured at E3 from SE:

• Final Fantasy XIV
• DISSIDIA Final Fantasy
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
• Front Mission Evolved
• Nier
• Order of War
• Supreme Commander 2
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord
• Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
• 0 day Attak on Earth
• Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete
• Final Fantasy VII for PSN

They also are collecting questions for a special E3 Fan Powered Q&A much like the Q&A for The World Ends with You.

And yes, Kairi, I and some of our friends will be having a party and since I haven't played KH in a few months, you can be sure as soon as I walk in her door I'll be "Where's the PS2? It's time to play!" and then hog it for the rest of the night. The TV will not go off. Unless we have to switch rooms or something. But seriously... unless it's a slow or hard part... it'll be in my hands for the whole time. Or if I get sick of Sora... then someone else can play...

And by the way- both Kairi and I are on SUMMER BREAK! IT'S FINALLY HERE! THANK GOD!
So hopefully updates will be more frequent unless we get caught up in relaxing or lessons or vacation~ or something...

And that is all for now.

~edit~
-THE NA 358/2 DAYS SITE IS OPEN WITH CONTENT! YAY!
-Utada Hikaru May not be doing the theme for KH3
-KH Shirts at Hot Topic! Yay!
-ALso, I'm playing with the layout... it might change everyday or so.

Luv,

~Naminé

I was watching the MTV Awards and they showed the trailor and it was UH - MAIZ - ING!!! If you go to youtube.com and search new moon trailer, then you can see the part I have been waiting for..............when Jacob explodes into a werewolf!!!!! Ever since I read the book, New Moon, by Stephanie Meyer, I have been waiting and wondering how the movie peoples would be able to blow up Jacob Black, played by the hot Taylor Lautner, and replace him with a huge wolf!!! It is cool. I know this doesn't have anything to do with Kingdom Hearts, but I just saw it and my jaw dropped!

Has anyone ever noticed how hot Taylor is without a shirt?

A friend of mine once said, "Every good princess needs a hot prince with no shirt!" ~Anonomous

New Moon Trailer

Namine, me, and some of our friends are going to have a sleepover in three days and we WILL do our absloute best to finish KH1 and KH Re:COM!

Alrighty, I have made my point and also talked about Kingdom Hearts!

Bye friends! <3

~Kairi

             So, fans of KH, we are trying to figure out whether or not to go to Video Games Live. I

personally think we should, but we would have to work that out.........if we do, I'M KAIRI AND NAMINE IS

NAMINE!!!!! yayz!

OH! I'll post a little later with a new picture of me because it is oober cute and should happen in the all

desired Kingdom Hearts 3. (Which I am praying is for Wii so I can swing around the remote like a keyblade!!)

Plus, if the maker peopleses make it for Wii, then they can make the little things that you can plug into your

Wii remote to make it look like different keyblades like the ones they have that look like tennis rackets,

baseball bats, etc. That would be fun to collect all the keyblade hook-ups........

Sorry about not posting in a few weeks. I've been uber-busy with school projects and manga/anime...

I've got an addiction to Lovely*Complex and Howl's Moving Castle. Awesome movie!

And there is so much KH news...

• 358/2 Days was featured in Nintendo Power. I'll see if I can get a copy soon and post either scans or info.
• Some Japanese commericials for 358/2 Days have been found.
• The official Japanese 358/2 Days website has updated again.
• A few interviews with Testuya Nomura have been found.

I can't post any of this, due to it being too much, so please go to HeartStation.

I've finished all my projects and I just have finals next week, and then there's SUMMER!!!

Kairi and I will definately be working on KH this summer, and looking for more news and such. I have Orch Camp, cello lessons, and Taekwondo, but I'll still have time.

Unless I get carried away with another series... but, I'll always love Kingdom Hearts!!!

Luv,

~Naminé

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've had lots of stuff to do, like orchestra and Rela.

Anyway, here's the new music playlist. It's all from Kingdom Hearts, most of it being classical with no lyrics. It's all by Yoko Shimomura too (except for Passion)

1. The Home of the Dragons
2. Isn't it Lovely?
3. Captain Hook's Pirate Ship
4. Welcome to Wonderland
5. He's a Pirate
6. The 13th Dilemma
7. The Other Promise
8. Passion ~after the batte~
9. Always on my Mind

I love The Home of the Dragons. Guess why!

Also, we've been meaning to post some fanart as well, so hopefully we'll be able to do that soon.

by the way- Square Enix Members has posted the four parts of The World Ends with You fan powered Q&A! It's pretty interesting to see what thy were thinking when making the game.

Luv,

~Naminé

358/2 Days Site

They have some videos showing Roxas's limitbreak and a new one showing Axel's awesome skills.

Source: HeartStation

Also, I added HeartStation to the links list. They update quickly and with great info, so it's only natural I would link to 'em.

Nyah, I so want 358/2 Days! It looks so awesome! And it stars Roxas and the Organization! How can people not want it?!

Homework rant: Ooh, and I have to memorize a freaking 50 line poem in, like, 10 days (maybe less)!!!! For my Language Arts class!! I mean, if I wanted to memorize a poem/bunch of words, I would have joined Drama! So mad... but my teacher approved my easy poem, the Mad Gardener's Song, by Lewis Carroll. This might be easier than I thought...

I gotta go do laundry now...

Luv,

~Naminé

So I'm using Yuuko Ichihara today! She's from the manga/anime xxxHOLiC. Which is very awesome. But pretty much everything by CLAMP is.

Nyah, I added a new playlist. So, instead of the pretty piano version of Hikari, it's now Lazy Afternoons. I also added some tracks from some of my favourite animes.

Playlist:

1. "Lazy Afternoons"///Kingdom Hearts II
2. "Dearly Beloved"///Kingdom Hearts II
3. "Three Minutes Clapping"///The World Ends with You
4. "19sai" by Sugo Shikao///Opening theme to xxxHOLiC
5. "Nobody Knows" by Sugo Shikao///the opening to xxxHOLiC: Kei
6. "Twister"///The World End with You
7. "Action!" by Maaya Sakamoto///featured in CLAMP in Wonderland 2
8. "Catch You Catch Me" by Gumi///Opening to Cardcaptor Sakura
9. "Ankoku Tengoku" by Ali Project///Opening theme to Kamichama Karin
10. "Be My Escape" by Relient k

I love all those songs, but Kairi probably hasn't heard most of 'em. (Don't worry, I'll probably be back to obsession over the all KH stuff sooner or later...)

Also, I'm trying to read all/most of CLAMP's works. They're my current obsession. I even ordered some of the CLAMP no Kiseki volumes (1 & 10). Mainly for the chess pieces... *laugh* Fai is so cute!

Nyah, it's raining... nothing to do... but clean my room.

Luv,

~Naminé
