Who's That Pokémon?: Abra

 Who's That Pokémon? It is Abra!

Abra (named "Casey" in Japanese) is a Psychic-type Pokémon, and it sure is a fickle one that loves to flee by using the move Teleport! Even when an Abra is sleeping, which it does most of the time (18 hours per day!), it can effortlessly avoid an enemy by teleporting itself away. Its powers weakens if it does not get enough sleep.

As you can see from the picture above, Abra is primarily a yellow Pokémon, with some brown colours here and there. Its eyes are normally closed. Also a small Pokémon, 0,9 m tall and weighs 19,5 kg, but becomes bigger once it evolves. Its Evulotions are [in order] Kadabra, Alakazam and Mega Alakazam.

Abra is a Pokémon I often use as backup when playing the games, as it is does become much stronger the more you evolve it. A plus is that, despite it being immune to none, it's also most often not Weak; Abra is only weak against Ghost, Dark and Bug, which are not the most common Types other players/NPCs use. It's resistant against Fighting-type and Psychic-type Pokémon. Abra is very easy to find in pretty much any region (often with urban areas)... it's just not the easiest one to catch, and you might have to try many times before succeeding!

80's J-Pop: Miki Matsubara

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town . Miki quickly became familiar with jazz music, as her mother was a jazz singer. She started playing piano at an outstandingly young age of 3 and simply embraced music in general, not only jazz but also rock. She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...
