Price: 800 Yen (w/tax)
Available: 7 February 2013
Link: http://www.movic.jp/index.php?ctrl=sheet&code=22874
Package includes: Okonomiyaki crackers 100g, 1 freebie sticker out of 3 designs (About 8×6 cm) and 1 metal charm (Total length: 3.5 cm)
What is Okonomiyaki? (from wiki)
Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き o-konomi-yaki) is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning “what you like” or “what you want”, and yaki meaning “grilled” or “cooked” (cf. yakitori and yakisoba). Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. Tokyo okonomiyaki is usually smaller than a Hiroshima or Kansai okonomiyaki.
Have you eaten okonomiyaki before? I have and I quite enjoy it. So… how does the crackers version match up to the real thing?
Box packaging: Front and Back.
Back of box explaining the 3 types of sticker designs and the metal charm.
Ingredients information… if you can look past all the seemingly artificial stuff… anyway I seldom eat these snacks so i guess its ok? Expiry date was 3 May 2013. Long overdue ^^;; but I took these pics before that, so no worries. I didn’t have time to post, that’s all.
Packet of crackers inside and I got Kurokocchi and Kagamicchi sticker! I think it’s no accident they put the pair together in one sticker XD
Opened package… let’s see…
The cracker is little sticky and glossy due to the sauce. Smells… salty lol.
I took a bite… crispy! The sauce is similar to usual okonomiyaki Japanese pancake but difference is that the pancake is soft. I prefer the original pancake version.
The cute metal charm and couple sticker. The metal charm is shaped like the utensil used to cook okonomiyaki pancakes. With a basketball shape embossed on the surface lol.

OMG Really?? So I won this time? *____* Super happy!! It’s my 1st time winning here! Thank you very much!! <3
Btw I was going to show you another link… even with the contest over it's interesting. It's an anime fair or event, I think it's Taiwan, and they had as guests Ono Yuuki and Ono Kensho, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83gkde8hzbY – they only appear at 8:40 on vid. It was a funny event, they gave interview, Yuuki showed his talent with yo-yo, they played basket with public and made that scene from anime when Kuroko says he's Kagami shadow.
@planck-chan: I’ve sent you an email :D
Thanks for the link! If Ono Yuuki and Ono Kensho’s personalities are really like this in real life, they are truly a “dog-type and cat-type” combination lol XD Really enjoyed watching it.
I’ve got even more nice stuff to share!
This time it’s my favorite KnB videos. 。* ゚ + 。・゚・。・ヽ(*^∀^)ノ。* ゚ + 。・゚・。*

I found more! 8 videos of the KnB PSP game with translation on-screen, I’ll add the short summary as well.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Crush the Lucky Item!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6aodCRRmz8
Midorima’s lucky item is a bubble wrap. Takao is a meanie.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Break the Lucky Item!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy1pTjSaDOI
Following the bubble wrap event, Midorima’s new lucky item is a goldfish scoop. Again, Takao is a meanie, but…?
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Shuutoku in the Hot Springs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2iFhc7kZeA
Shuutoku joins Seirin in the hot springs. Midorima can’t tell Mitobe apart from Takao and gets worried.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Aomine’s Tea
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCSuCxCVXlo
Aomine the Troll makes “tea” for the group.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Breakfast with Akashi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X9wVSkvqJA
Akashi lectures everyone during breakfast.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: In the Hot Springs with Akashi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4opLhfUJ6EA
Akashi lectures Seirin in the bath.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: The Ball Is Your Lover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZfYFJdy4NA
Kaijou discusses how to treat balls, and Moriyama teaches them how to pick up girls by practicing on poor Kise.
Kiseki no Shiai PSP: Kise and Aomine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sto6PTnOYK4
Kise and Aomine scenes from the Kiseki no Shiai PSP game.
A totally biased MidoTaka links suggestion (sorry, it can’t be helped! XD)
1. A very funny and super cute drama cd track, where Takao helps Midorima to find his lucky item http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WoQuY1Xuko
2. The PSP game is full of fun and makes our ships even more vivid – like this one where Takao wants to see Midorima naked winning or losing http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18635111 or Takao acting all lovely with Shin-chan XDD http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18634786 . This person kindly translates many Kurobas stuff, including these passages of PSP game and link the corresponding nico video of the event: http://grimmfeather.wordpress.com/knb-kiseki-no-shiai-event-index/ . Also she translates drama CDs, songs etc (not only Midorima and Takao related).
This one is difficult to find all the 4 images together, so this post is really useful. This was a poll about fav pairings, and the most voted were drawn by Fujimaki himself each week: http://adamantineheart.tumblr.com/post/59623967581/ansfair-alright-so-i-managed-to-download-jump
It was obvious that Kuroko and Kagami were gonna win the 1st round, they’re the main characters, but I was very pleased to find out Midorima and Takao winning the 2nd poll! <3 Such funny and cute illustrations, it seems they're all having a date, well done, Fujimaki-sensei!
Pairings? As in BL pairing poll? Or just who makes a good team??
I mean my mind would go all blank if they promote BL in KnB through polls, my inner BL fangirl wouldn’t know what to do!
@Masatoka As it was a Jump poll, t’s more like a pair that makes a good team as you said, not romantically implied. But we, as BL fans, can’t see other way than our beloved OTPs! XDDD Many Kurobas fans are not BL fans, but there are also tons of fujoshi fans who have to be satisfied in a subtle manner, I think they can please both in a poll like this.
Ok, here’s a funny Kurobas Radio show moment, in which Kensho and Yuuki plays a tsun girl giving Valentine’s Day choco to a guy http://violinic.tumblr.com/post/43376423740/kuroraji-46-tsundere-kenko-chan-giving-yuuki-san
Hi pony, such a long time I don’t comment here! Hope you’re doing well! :3
I’ve never eaten okonomiyaki, hope some day I can eat it…
I love Kuroko no Basket, and TakaMido or MidoTaka is my OTP (yes, I like them reversi! <3). So I'd like to show you a pic I took of them after I've received my one coins (it's very inspired by you, that always use cute y-shirt Akira with other characters) http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/784910
I'll search for Kurobas interesting links and post here later!
@planck-chan: yeah it’s been such a long time! I’ve been neglecting the blog :( Hmm it’s quite similar to pancakes! Just that the sauce is different and it is savoury.
Hehehe your MidoTaka is so cute! Clever use of the backdrop too! XDD
Also there are many more translated on this tumblr account.

Even ones that make your heart throb~
Kurobasbot Situations: Akashi at home
Akashi: I’m so tired
You: Thank you for always working so hard, but take a break every once in a while as well.
Akashi: A break…huh.
As he says that he suddenly embraces you.
You: ?!///
Akashi: It soothes me if I do this, so just a little longer….okay?
With your heart beating madly you wrap your arms around him.
Akashi: If I kiss you, my tiredness will vanish completely. So… can I kiss you?
I wish I could try these okonomiyaki crackers too, they look good!
I would be the happiest person ever if I could get the metal charm and sticker, I would even take that beautiful box! xD
So how about this:
http://tadanodt.tumblr.com/post/43562531594/kurobasplus-kiseki-no-sedai-talks-underwear-preference
Kurobasplus: Kiseki no Sedai talks Underwear Preference on ladies…
Kise: Non-matching bra and underwear are awesome! How do I put it… they’re such a turn on!
Aomine: What do they call those, those with the front hook? Those are nice.
Midorima: I…I prefer white no dayo.
Murasakibara: Strings are great-. It’s like unwrapping a snack.
Akashi: Underwear? Ah, anything is fine since I’ll immediately be stripping them off.
I love your website and the stuff you post ^_^ I found this awesome person’s tumblr that explains the meanings of the kurobasu chara cast. Enjoy! http://yefione.tumblr.com/post/39454582817/kuroko-no-basuke-kiseki-no-sedai-name-analysis
