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

The official Re:package album released 8/27, peaking #3 on the charts on its first day. The album has all of the tracks from his same-titled Winter Comiket 73 release, but also includes kz’s three new songs since then: Light Song; Last Night, Good Night; and a brand new song, our music. The cover also features redjuice’s awesome artwork, who did the PV for LNGN iirc. I still need to get my copy. Hopefully they haven’t ran out of LE’s before I order. Read more

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.

So, once again I had to move my blog elsewhere. I guess this whole blog-on-tour thing has been like moving out of an apartment into a relatively new house, which is soon battered up by an earthquake, then you’re struggling to retrieve all your belongings and move to another new house. Yeah, I did lose one of my posts in the process of WP exportation and, I forgot WP fails to include any of your links, so I lost them all. Again. And I still have the comment section in Italian. But that’s life, right?

Enough of me complaining. For those of you who missed my lost post, Read more

The Usa Colony (うさころにー/Rabbit Colony) is a group made of several doujin singers, musicians, and artists that produce works surrounding mostly VOCALOID–the headliners being singers Yamai and Usa. Anyone well versed in the VOCALOID nico scene have probably heard of their names. But what makes this dynamic yuri duo so enticing? Read more

This may seem too good to be true, but recently a video of, supposedly, Gazelle singing a rendition of one of ryo’s latest Miku singles, ワールドイズマイン (World is Mine). (…Honestly, he should have waited like a month or so in between before Black Rock Shooter) Some commenters can’t believe it and think it’s an imposter, but the voice sounds so similar, it might just be her. Check it out for yourself. If you just want to listen to it, the nicosound link is here: http://nicosound.dip.jp/sound/sm3728612.
