Yeahh so it’s been like half a year since I uploaded anything…. doesn’t help that the translation of Valshe’s song Another Sky (album Jester) was already done by someone else and I didn’t realize till I was about to upload. =.= So here’s another of Valshe’s songs, Responsive from her 7th single Blessing Card, which itself is the second ED of Tanken ( Read more... )

Haven't done a Matsushita Yuya song in AGES.... O.o Anyways. This is my favorite song from his latest single Kimi e no Love Song -10nen saki mo- (which I will admit is not exactly recent.... I just never got around to it till now...... =.=), 冬空 (romaji Fuyuzora). It's a sad song, reminds me a little of Lonely Rain, but there we go. I think Yuya-san ( Read more... )

Very very belated post, because IRL is ridiculously busy. But hey it's not as though anyone reads this, it's more for my own memories of what I have watched and liked and so on. Here goes then.

A little like DRRR!! with a large dose of fantasy and magical powers but the same colour-gang system. Amazing cast with Daisuke Ono, Tomokazu ( Read more... )

Title: Translation of “Moon” by Clear

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers of all time, Clear. He’s an utaite who became popular in Japan by posting covers of Vocaloid songs, and now makes and sells his own albums (much like Valshe). One of his (many) awesome Vocaloid covers available on Youtube is Kagefumi. As a measure of his ( Read more... )

This is a good season! I think. It’s at least 4 weeks into the Winter 2011/2012 season; it seems I’m getting later and later with these posts…. -is shot- Soooo the anime worth watching this season, so far, are as the follows!

A preliminary roundup of what’s worth watching this autumn season, in ranking order. At the present moment, all of these anime are available online up to at least episode 3. Overall I’m of the opinion that Autumn 2011 is a fairly good crop of mostly slice-of-life shows, with an significant and unfortunate slant to the ecchi as compared to Summer ( Read more... )

It so happens that this song was played as a form of graduation farewell by the language centre where I studied Japanese. A song that somehow manages to sound both sad and cheerful at the same time, this is 空への手紙 (Letter to the Sky) by GReeeeN, the 12th song of their 3rd album, 塩、コショウ (Shio, Koshou; Salt, Pepper). The Youtube video is here. Don’t ( Read more... )

So I’m feeling rather guilty for not doing translations and exercising my brain’s language functions. Presenting L.o.L, track #3 of Matsushita Yuya’s 6th single Bird/4 Seasons. It’s one of my favorites by him. The Youtube video of it (which I watched last year or thereabouts) has been taken down, unfortunately, and the only other alternative I ( Read more... )

I’m thinking maybe I should change the title of this journal. It’s... not quite an anime review journal anymore. =X Honestly, I’m posting everything BUT anime reviews these days. -dies-

So yes, this post is a manga review. Or more accurately, a manga artist pimping post. Takarai Rihito drew the lovely shounen-ai manga Seven Days, as well as the ( Read more... )
