Getting colder lately…

This proposal is not out of jest, it’s actually from following a certain blog that features an in-depth analyzation of Neo-Venezia, as well as comparing the Utopian society to the real deal. (I highly suggest anyone who’s a fan of the show to check out the site.) The entries I particularly enjoy are ones that extract hidden meanings within each episode, displaying Kozue’s ability as a philosopher, and possibly the optimistic Akari persona in reality.

When you see it, you’ll shit bricks.

Japan’s response on Nico.

First of all, apologies for my no show these pass few weeks. There’s been a lot of things I’d like to blog about (ish) but I just haven’t gotten the time or creative juices flowing. I’m also enrolled in more classes than ever. orz

But getting to the point… Read more

Missed the thread? It’s archived for great justice.

In other news, I’m back in school. As if my blog wasn’t dead enough. orz

A familiar name, yeah? I know her most as Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles, Hazuki from Sketchbook, and Misaki from Welcome to the NHK. Not to mention theme song performances for those aforementioned series, as well as Sousei no Aquarion’s 1st ED and, my favorite, the OPs for the ARIA series. But I never knew that she sings pretty good live: Read more

While searching for VOCALOID covers again a day or two ago, I remembered kz’s latest hit that have ridden up the VOCALOID Rankings for the past few weeks, Last Night, Good Night. Many recognize this song from its striking PV, courtesy of redjuice graphics (known for his illustrations contributing to ryo’s World is Mine). Of LiveTune fame, kz’s trademark ambient trance style is ever present in this song, while Miku once again reaches for the high pitches. Naturally, the song is hard to sing realistically, but there’s one singer so far that has pulled it off. She goes by the name of ちょうちょ (choucho).

Choucho is another singer that has been compared to gazelle, but there is something in her voice that rings a bell of familiarity. When I heard her version of Seikan Hikou (キラッ☆), I could not help but think of Ishida Yoko. Unfortunately, she is still rather unknown in the Nico Singer sphere, but hopefully with the popularity LNGN (currently the song’s most viewed cover) she will gain a bigger following. There isn’t a nico singer wiki page for her yet, so check out her blog and mylist for more from her. She’s one to keep tabs on.

If there’s one thing Negima you should watch, it’s the Ala Alba ODA. Actually, it’s the only thing you should watch. Forget the Xebec anime, the SHAFT anime, even the OVAs, and especially the Live Action (unless you’re looking for humor); Akamatsu has done something right. This release proves to be the refreshing renewal for the series that it truly deserves. Read more
