keepsakes.

Finally, the podcast has reached 100 Episodes! To mark the occasion, I'm not the one hosting the show - I got my friends to do that.  After this podcast, I'm redoing the podcast format to keep up with my pace. The show's already sporadic, and I may have other ideas over time.

Welcome to the 2nd episode of the year 2020, where we talk about a Muppet versus a pet rock. "Elmo vs Rocco" hit Twitter by storm, making people scratch their heads in amusement. Meanwhile, there are some aspects to this debacle that we want to discuss right here in this episode. 

Welcome to the first podcast episode of 2022, where we still talk about Virtual YouTubers. This marks keepsakes.' full transition as a podcast after a long drought.

On this episode, I talk to our previous guest clipper Kurumeme, VTuber support staff Arbeed and VTuber mama Vivi. From a recap of VTuber activities that marked 2021 to the next steps in planning the next cover music video, we got you covered. This conversation is in English and Filipino.

Surprise for everyone: ???

Our guest from Podcast 88 returns to talk about the Summer 2021 Anime Season with me.

Here's a story: This podcast wasn't supposed to happen if not for this one enthusiastic upcoming VTuber who stumbled upon the voice chat rooms of the VTuber Pilipinas Discord server.  I am joined by yours truly, my man Guro Kahoy (who's reaaally into Philippine history), and Shiro of the LoungeTV team. Consider this as a welcome briefing for Virtual YouTubers, obviously from a simp(leton) like me.

What makes a VTuber seiso - or seison't? How does a VTuber avoid falling into the pit of being not seiso? What makes a VTuber consistent? I tried to answer those questions with Josh of Allineus Productions. (Jan 08, 2021)  Josh: https://twitter.com/allineus_c

On this last episode for 2020, I talked to Anime Corner's Marlo Barcellano about "Saekano the Movie: Finale,"  and how it caps off a series very well.

The Crackdown on Piracy Sites has just started as KissAnime is taken down, leaving the highly-visited website no choice but to say goodbye for good. This puts anime fans who are currently watching by season on a rush to find alternatives. 

On this discussion, we round up what's happening with the anime community and what can the industry's producers do to spread the anime culture in amenable ways. Joining me are photographer Donnie Medina of Chiisu Studio, Geoffrey Kutsukawa, and Anime Corner's Marlo Barcellano.

For our episode this month, we are joined by wotagei player Hinootora for a discussion on her wotagei journey (including her brief journey on how she got scouted by her current team Senkou Wotagei Dan), as well as her past accolade (whom she credits to our iM@S PH seniors Lor and Louie).  

Follow/Subscribe to Hinootora on: 

Just before we reach 80 episodes, I decided it will be the best for the podcast to have its video version - almost everyone's in it these days. Now that the podcast has a face to show on video, we are introducing our first guest for this month's lineup. 

Prior to serving real estate clients with her digital marketing skills, most of you may have known Jasteanne Benito as the cosplayer Loli-J. On this episode, we will take a few pages from her book and share to us her life and the lessons she learned along the way. 

Video version will be up on YouTube.com/JayAgonoy. Subscribe to the podcast on audio and video and help us continue sharing more keepsakes.

Serena of The Lily Cat gushes for voice actress Junko Iwao more than Sakura Tange, and we learn that there's more to Ayako Kawasumi and Noriko Shitaya than just Fate/. This is your yuri-centric episode, filled with seiyuu references. This episode has been recorded through StreamYard - go Live on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and even Twitter in just a few clicks. Sign up now at https://streamyard.com?pal=5187783270858752 to get 10$ credit.

In the next episode, Jay and cosplayer Hiro Tan hosts Gary Montejo, WCS Team PH 2019 Team Class S' Seigfred Enero, Vaynard and WCS Team MY 2019's King Rusydi. in the #OnlineCosplayConvention Facebook Live chat held last March.

Thank you for listening to our discussion on BS in Esports course with Max Maquiling of Unity Productions - now let's go to round 2, where we are joined by Cebu Cosplay Event Buzzer Gary Montejo.

We talked about Otakufest 2020 at length, sharing our thoughts on what happened before and during Day 1. Hope you enjoy listening!

Tier One Entertainment partners with the Lyceum of the Philippines University Manila to establish the Bachelor of Science in #Esports course with a focus on Esports Management and Game Design.

Lots of discussions about this popped up - some positive, some critical.

Last Otakufest 2020, yours truly and Serena of The Lily Cat - Anime, Yuri, Reviews, Features sat down with Max Maquiling of UNITY Productions / Cebu Esports United to discuss this topic further, as well as to talk about what made Unity a name in Cebu's Esports scene: The Mayor's Cup 2019.

The latest episode is part of the #Otakufest2020 special. We invite you to subscribe to the podcast, as the following episode will be the full Otakufest 2020 special episode.

Special thanks to The Cebu Cosplay Event Buzzer, Gary Montejo for helping in making this episode possible.

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new decade.

On this episode, I talked to Sho (Yuminty Fresh) as she spends her last con in the Philippines (perhaps for now). Also on the show, I got hold of the Magtibay brothers and they asked me my reactions on the current anime stories popping up before 2019 ends... and the best clips I gathered for the podcast in 2019.

It's been a long year for us at keepsakes., and I've decided to cap off the podcast for 2019 with our 2019 highlights. Looking forward already to more discussions in 2020 - maybe we can start talking to cosplayers on Cosplay Week 2019, I guess?

We're going off-tangent with our usual podcast schedule to bring this recording from our Facebook Live at Dungeon Akiba in Mandaluyong City. I do admit that the sound was bad, but at best you take your sweet time listening to our conversation as we talk about Cosplay in Zamboanga City with our guest Scar Faeder. Our 2019 Recap podcast will be coming this Monday December 16 at 9am.

On another lengthy but insightful episode, I got Chad Ramos and Allen Silva of The Reimaru Files with me to discuss Paid Photoshoots in Cosplay Events, its concerns & possible long-term effects and possible solutions and approaches to it.

Spend your 1 and a half hour with us as we get to yet another cosplay community issue worthy of analyzing.

 Hi guys! We're back with another podcast - this time, it's about the latest Makoto Shinkai movie "Weathering with You." Also, I gave hints about keepsakes 2.0 in this episode. I made sure that this will go on for 30 minutes or so - we've had longer talking times in the past few episodes. :)

This episode features Cosplay Tanabata 7 - the last of its namesake in Baguio City...let's call this as my guide to Baguio, just in case there's a cosplay event coming up (there's one next month) and you're coming from either Manila or somewhere else.

Recorded live on Facebook from Dungeon Akiba in Mandaluyong City, this is episode 50 - with JM Cruz of Project:Materia,  Tito Natz of CH4U, Tito Dann Avellano and Tito Ferrari Lacson of Dungeon Akiba. 

In celebration of recording and doing 50 podcast episodes (I have not yet reached 50 podcast episodes until now, by the way), I got my good friends to join me in discussing what was being an anime fan like in the 90s, as well as IBC TV 13's ongoing plan to revive their golden age - which includes airing anime amid their financial status.

Just a quick episode drop before I get to ACX Day 2 - I talked about the Code Geass Re:Surrection movie (spoilers ahead), Blinks vs Shopee, and my thoughts before entering ACX Day 2. 

As a bonus, I have a few unreleased recordings from Pinoy Otaku Festival that I hope you enjoy. See ya later!

I recorded this podcast on a different location, hence the different kind of setup than usual. This is to show my friends how I create content. Serena joins me in this discussion about the simultanous anime film screenings held at SM Megamall last Saturday, as well as other topics that we can crunch in 30 minutes or so. 

Three episodes to go before the big 5-0, what do you want me to talk about?

Finally, a new episode after two weeks. 

On this episode, we will feature the Idol Panel I did with Wiljanz, Tanchikon, Yonette (Lorenzo), and Trina (from Ivy! Musume), as well as a brief chat with SeikaON (Chiyo, from Asterism) and her sub-unit SeKiSei which has been set up real quick.

For the first ever episode in a series of tentatively-titled VOTEMNL48 podcasts in line with MNL48's Second General Election, we talked to Ahdrian representing MNL48 Faith, and the Friends Fries fan club of Shaira and Shaina, perhaps the only twin idols in the AKB48 Group.

Next episode will be lively and full of joy in the clouds.

I learned the term "fishing" in the local idol context through my peers, and this is perhaps the focal point of my discussion with Stan Galupo of Back2Gaming's MNL48 Weekly. On this episode we talked about our thoughts before the MNL48 Living the Dream Concert, as well as mentioned the events which will be happening on the same day as the concert.

I got Serena (The Lily Cat) back in this discussion about Wonder Festival Winter 2019, and we tried to get the relevance of this in the Filipino context while gushing on the announced figures as we try to imagine (or remember) it.

Our next episode comes from Bayanihan Center in Pasig where the first Anime Idol Convention (AICon) was held, gathering an estimated 300 anidol fans. You'll hear a lot from the people who are present there in this episode.

On this episode: "My thoughts on the Cosplay Mania Mamegu Gacha: Fair Enough, Stop Complaining" and more

On this first episode, I'll talked about MNL48 and the Conditional Access on Digital TV. Enjoy the first episode that started my podcasting activities all over again.
