I’m not going to write a lot (LOL) since there are those who already did much better reviews (and pretty much similar to my opinion), but well, just thought I’d post the poster and rant a bit before I start drooling over Minorin’s Live DVD. On to the track list..
You are currently browsing the monthly archive for June 2008.

Absolutely the best news since… I forgot, too many bad things happened to me in the past week: I got mizuki-nana.net but I couldn’t make anything yet due to nonstop labor work (even today), I even forgot to order first-press-now-sold-out Slayers Megumix, then my hard disk died (along with all my pr0n image collection and Mizuki Nana photos I’ve gathered forever), and lazy Aussie Post Office holding on my Minorin DVD and Makkun tribute album. -_-;
Pics spam only~ Lazy xD
Nakamura Eriko 中村繪里子 (Amami Haruka 天海春香)

Imai Asami 今井麻美 (Kisaragi Chihaya 如月千早)

Takahashi Chiaki たかはし智秋 (Miura Azusa 三浦あずさ)

Shimoda Asami 下田麻美 (Futami Ami and Mami 双海亜美・双海真美)

Imai and Chiaki~ I love Chiaki’s boobs.

Miko (..who host a channel in NicoDouga and remixes a lot of Touhou music in her group IOSYS, and gonna release an album soon..)

OK, from what I read in Nana’s and Minorin’s blogs, they have recorded the theme song. So why the heck are they adding more performers? I was wondering how they gonna fit everyone in a song, but now it makes more sense that they’re doing two versions -one for each day- and not everyone is singing.. maybe. >_>
On to the good news:
August 30 - Ishida Yoko 石田燿子 (3rd Animelo)

She finally made the cut, although she hasn’t released anything new for a loooong time, excluding the Yocomix series. And damn, she sang Aka no Seijaku in 2006 already.
- OPEN YOUR MIND ~Chiisana Hane Hirogete~ (Aa! Megami-sama OP)
- Natsuiro no Kakera (Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai ED)
- Just see her Single Collection’s tracklist.
August 31 - THE IDOLM@STER (1st Animelo)

The participating IDOLs will be announced tomorrow. I’m not familiar with the game nor the anime (they have different casts anyway).. I only recognize Takahashi Chiaki and Ochiai Yurika (boobs alert? lol) and Kugimiya Rie. Let’s see how things will go.
Makes me think they would add more people again..
Woot?!
Before anyone complaining why the layout is so ugly, this is only a dummy version I made (thanks ron~ for free bandwidth), while waiting for the actual domain name which is coming next week. So I swear it won’t look this rubbish later.

After Mizuki Nana’s Live Formula, it’s Horie Yui’s turn to take the crown. Excellent. I feel happy for owning chart-toppers. ![]()

Pretty nice cover. Er, her expression maybe.. a bit weird, but as a Nana lunatic I’m happy with whatever. And I just realized she updated her official site photos too. Better job than the cover, if you ask me.
Here’s comparison with the previous Nana Clips covers..

I’m seriously wishing for nicer packaging.. I mean, those standard boxes look like Chinese bootlegs. Especially the pink one. Ugh.

I’ve read about Horie Yui’s previous concert that followed her adventure in an Alice in Wonderland-like world, but I never thought a story-based live can be so interesting and fun. I like it in the way she’s still showing off her seiyuu skills. And I have to say Hocchan is really good at looking cute. She IS 17.
Um, the only drawback I noticed was the fans’ calls. They were way too loud. Not as bad as Yukarin’s, but it still annoyed the hell outta me.
Animelo Theme Song

The title will be 「Yells~It’s a beautiful life~」.
As usual, Okui Masami is responsible for lyrics, and this time Kageyama Hironobu is in charge of composition. They did a great job for OUTRIDE, which remains as my favorite Animelo song until now. I have no idea how they gonna put that many artists in one song.. but definitely looking forward to it and the DVD. Longer making-of, please!
It’s up for pre-orders in Amazon and CDJapan. Get it now for a bonus poster.
And Animelo gets two more performers: m.o.v.e and Misato Aki!! Can’t wait until August. Wish me luck for a cheaper arena ticket in Yahoo! Auction.. >_<
Right, after Kurinoco distracted me from my assignment two days ago, Hocchan is going to make me fail my exam tomorrow. Uhm, my dark future aside, I gotta say.. FIRST PRESS ROCKS!! xD

I know I’m 3 months behind this, but yeah, just got this yesterday.. so I decided to ditch my assignment and do a short review of this instead~
Speaking of Kurinoco, I really can’t wait for her usual compilation album, since I’ve been holding off to buy her singles (except Love Jump because it’s so good), and she had released so many after fantastic arrow album (7th one out next month! She sure works hard).
PS. Hocchan’s DVD was shipped yesterday. That’s early. Yay for CDJapan!
