If you’re ever feeling down, read this paradigm for “banana” in Icelandic. read it aloud. you will feel better
“Bananarnir” sounds like the third, and worst, of the sons of Denethor.
“Bananarnir would have remembered his father’s need. Bananarnir would have brought me a kingly gift.”
I thought I was speaking Tolkien Elvish. It was amazing.
Last year Fairytail Parfum released a Samurai Troopers-themed scent, and this year they’ve expanded the line to include scents for all five troopers and the four warlords. A total of 9 new scent combinations!
Descriptions are copy/pasted from the google-translated page. Anything in parenthesizes is me trying to help clarify. Unfortunately, I have no idea what “musk” is supposed to smell like or if it’s translating correctly.

Each bottle costs 2,000 yen, or ~$20, and holds 30ml of parfum. Be sure to check on import restrictions before purchasing!
The store at Nakano Broadway, Hakaba, the store that showcased the 30th anniversary gallery and sold the first batch of exclusive goods, is celebrating Seiji’s/Sage’s birthday!
The first 100 shoppers to spend over 10,000 yen on the new goods will receive the exclusive illustration (below) made and signed by the armor designer, Hideo Okamoto!
Let’s check out the goodies, shall we?
First up is a canvas with this image of Seiji printed on it for 3,000 yen (~$30). It’s described as being 275mm x 275mm (~10.827in x 10.827in).
Next, we’ve got new t-shirts. There are three colors to choose from, a dark green (top image), white (middle image), and black (last image). Each shirt has Seiji’s insignia on the right sleeve, the samurai troopers logo on the tag, and the samurai troopers helmet logo on the back of the t-shirt just under the collar. They’ll sell for 4,000 yen (~$40) each and come in Japanese sizes XS to XXL.
Here we have something that translated to “Glass Hair Rubber”. I’m gonna go ahead and theorize that it means it’s a hair tie. The glass piece has Seiji’s insignia (possibly gold ink or gold vinyl?) on a green patterned background, and is 35mm in diameter (~1.378in). It’ll be 600 yen (~$6).
These are 10 different keychain designs. On one side is a quote from Seiji in Japanese; on the other side is the samurai troopers logo next to an image of Seiji from one of the episodes. These are sold in a blind box, meaning you won’t get to pick which one you receive; it’ll be random. The keychains are 15mm x 66mm (~0.6in x 2.6in), and will be sold for 500 yen a piece (~$5).
Last but not least, a Seiji-themed luggage tag for 1,500 yen (~$15). It has a silhouette of Seiji in his armor against a green patterned background. The samurai troopers logo and Seiji’s insignia are also on it.
So! Happy birthday to Seiji/Sage! BUT, that’s not all!!! These additional goods aren’t Seiji-themed, but they are going to be new and will sell alongside his goods:
Here we have an “eco” bag; which I’m guessing is a reusable bag, that has all samurai troopers and warlord insignias in silver repeating on it as a pattern on a black background. It comes with a carrying pouch as well that has the samurai troopers logo on one side and the silhouette of the group on the other. The pouch also appears to have a handy clip. The bag itself is 57cm x 47cm (~22.44in x 18.5in), and the pouch is 12cm x 9cm (~4.725in x 3.54in). It’ll be sold for 1,800 yen (~$18).
This goodie is another canvas print of the troopers from the first OVA. It’s not a shot from the episodes themselves, but one of those promotional illustrations that used to be made. It’s 242mm x 333mm (~9.528in x 13.11in), and is 3,500 yen (~$35).
Here we’ve got another t-shirt!! This off-white t-shirt features the silhouette of the troopers in the armor against a blue-purple gradient circle. The samurai trooper helmet logo appears above them in pink while sakura petals scatter in front of the troopers. “Yoroiden Samurai Troopers” is written underneath in English. The tag sports the samurai troopers logo, and the back of the t-shirt has the five trooper insignias appearing just under the collar. It’ll sell for 4,000 yen (~$40) each and come in Japanese sizes XS to XXL
Last of the new items is another luggage tag, this one matches the eco reusable bag with the samurai troopers and warlord insignias in silver repeating on it as a pattern on a black background. It’ll be 1,500 yen ($15).
Phew! That’s a lot of new goodies and was quite a surprise to find!
>> Here’s the link to the store’s announcement (Japanese site). <<
The goods should be available online, and the store does ship internationally (though with the pandemic, I’m not sure if that’s still available at the moment). Also, to get the exclusive Seiji illustration, I think you’re going to need a Japanese address, but I’m not 100% sure on that; we’ll have to wait and see.
Lastly the store still has some goods from the 30th anniversary available online. Those items are (going to be?) at a discounted price, so do check them out!

The sale is slated to start on 6/9 at 19:00 (7:00pm Japan Standard Time), so be sure to set your alarms for your corresponding time zones! source
If you happened to click on the link to the store in my previous post, it might’ve taken you to a blank page. Until the sale starts, all the samurai trooper items have been taken down, and a search for them yields nothing, hence the blank page.

Also! The store announced they will also have the samurai troopers perfume and sake set available!
Unfortunately, these items may not be allowed to ship to certain countries, so be sure to check shipping restrictions before you add them to your cart.
That’s all for now! Good luck to everyone who might try to get a Seiji Illustration (first 100 customers who spend over 10,000 yen on related items)! I’d love to see a scan if you do.
Best wishes to the warrior of torrent!
I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:
Today the Japanese voice of Shu Rei Faun/Kento turns 59.
Today the Japanese voice of Shin Mouri/Cye turns 53.
❤❤❤
“Rei-guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!!
53 years ago on this exact day…
Nozomu Sasaki had came to this world and then later on at the tender age of 19 years old, he became a voice actor thanks to an audition he did for a friend of his.
Sooo basically from 1986 all the way to this very day regardless of his voice crack or vocal evolution to put it a bit kindly, he’s been lending his voice to many unique characters.
Also he speaks really great English that could rival Ryo Horikawa! XD
Anyways…
Who’s your favorite character that’s been voiced by Sasaki-san?
For me that’s tough to answer ^_^
Favorite would be a tie between…
Shin, Yusuke, Johan and Eriol…
Look at them trying to impress us with their weapons of destruction!

I am *here* for that Nasutei cosplay
love it!
hearing the john mulaney “do my friends hate me or do i just need to go to sleep” bit is the best thing to have happened for my mental health because every time i’m afraid my friends hate me it’s around the time i should be going the fuck to sleep
I read somewhere “if you feel like everyone hates you you need to sleep and if you feel like you hate everyone else you need to eat” and it was honestly world-shattering and I wish I’d heard it years ago!
Holy shit
