Fluctuat nec mergitur

These adorable cat parfaits are served at Kotoba no Haoto, a cafe in Kyoto which also boasts a traditional Japanese setting: visitors are served their meals on low tables as they kneel on tatami mats, and the cafe itself is housed in a machiya, a type of wooden townhouse that is commonly found throughout Japan.

PRESIDENT OBAMA VISITS HIROSHIMA

Flowers from fans for DRRR!! Seiyuu Event「DRRRash!!」6.18 -  Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke interjecting a fight between Izaya and Shizuo 

Among the many flowers for Izaya, Shizuo, and other casts, there’s this huge flower stand that depicts an illustration of Kamiya Hiroshi (Izaya’s voice actor) and Ono Daisuke (Shizuo’s voice actor) trying to stop the fight between their characters.

FYI just in case: Izaya and Shizuo’s seiyuu are known among their colleague, and even among fans as very close partners. In the industry, they are professionally regarded as each other’s strongest counterpart, or otherwise known in Japan as the the “Golden Duo” for anything these two touch is guaranteed success. I believe the popularity of both Izaya and Shizuo as characters (and themselves, together), is in no small contribution, thanks to their seiyuu.

And I fell in love

With the stars in his eyes
