Eeeps, a leak! So I got an advance preview of UVERworld’s latest single whilst waiting for the arrival of the limited edition original from cdjapan. What can I say except to say that I love this single and all the 3 tracks on it especially Gundam 00 Season 2 Intro/OP theme and track #2 ‘体温 Taion’ which is a nice ballad. I love Takuya’s pining vocals on it. Want a listen, click the preview links on the tracklist. Right, I’m out.

Gripe! My Lappy’s gone wonky!
Published November 17, 2008 Uncategorized 0 CommentsTags: A Spot of Bother, gripe, Mark Haddon, random posting, random ramblings

I had a lovely enjoyable weekend where I got to go out and be part of the social scene. What’s not great is finding my long serving lappy going all wonky, emitting a strange vibrating sound, as if it’s about to go kaboom. It’s decided that it had enough of me plonking mercilessly at it’s keypads obviously…sigh! That’s why the lack of updates on this blog site. I miss my Kuroshitsuji post and loads of other stuff. Duh, I’ll have to play catch-up in due time. But the bright side of not sitting in front of a lappy tapping away is reading a book. Continue reading ‘Gripe! My Lappy’s gone wonky!’
Clannad~After Story~ OP/ED Single: Toki wo Kizamu Uta & Torch

Ever since I saw Clannad~After Story’s opening sequence, I simply loved the beautiful visuals along with the intro song. They combined to make the whole opening scene appears and sounds magical. It’s clearly one of loveliest anime opening visuals from the Fall season. The studio finally got round to releasing the OP/ED single which I’ve been anticipating since Clannad AS has been on air.

OP/ED Singles: Pigstar’s Shodo and Kanon Wakeshima’s Suna no Oshiro

Kanon Wakeshima’s 2nd single ‘Suna no Oshiro’ is out now. The title track is also the outro theme for Vampire Knight Guilty. Suna no Oshiro is quite similar to Still Doll in terms of having a creepy atmospheric build up at the beginning of the song which then breaks out into the dramatic chorus. I like the cello playing on the track as well. Continue reading ‘OP/ED Singles: Pigstar’s Shodo and Kanon Wakeshima’s Suna no Oshiro’
Naruto Shippuden ED7 Cd Single + Bleach OST 3 Album
Published November 13, 2008 CD Singles and Album Reviews , Music 0 CommentsTags: music review, cd single, J-music, anime music, Bleach OST 3, HALCALI_Long Kiss Good Bye, Naruto Shippuden 7th ED_Long Kiss Good Bye, Original Soundtrack

This is one of the better ED/outro themes among the bunch of OP/ED singles that came out recently. HalCali’s Long Kiss Goodbye is a rather catchy song that’s pop-rock infused with a bit of rap and a snappy melody. It’s also Naruto Shippuden’s 7th ED. The B-side song ‘Flash’ is a rap infused electro track which sounds a little bit like a song from Perfume especially the chorus part. But instead of sounding cheesy, it’s got an edgier feel. Check the tracklist for a preview of the song. Continue reading ‘Naruto Shippuden ED7 Cd Single + Bleach OST 3 Album’

Episode 6: The Fake Lover 偽りの恋人

Impressions:
I just got round to watching episode 6. The pace slowed down this time because I was expecting that they’ll squeeze in the Rido/Shiki and Kaname meeting scene but they didn’t. In a way, it was good because the anime has so far been moving a lot faster and we’re near the half way point already. Continue reading ‘Vampire Knight Guilty Episode 06′

Wo! It's Christmas already.
Been catching up with a slew of singles releases recently. Here are 5 singles that I received only just recently. They are: BreakerZ’s Winter Party, Chemistry’s Koisuru Yuki Aisuru Sora, Spitz’s Wakaba, Suneohair’s Kyohansha and Miho Fukuhara’s Yasashii Aka. I particularly liked Spitz’s and Suneohair’s latest releases over Chemistry’s holiday-ish RnB pop ballads though. BreakerZ’s holiday single was rather catchy but corny at the same time.
