A pretty late report since I spent the past 3 days travelling back home.
So yeah on my last day in Japan, I went to Makkun’s i-magination live in Osaka. My very first Makkun’s concert! It was held in Umeda AKASO, a small live house near Umeda station that made me ask for direction 10x before giving up and google-map it on an internet cafe. ^^;
I can’t think of who would be interested in reading this report other than omo, but anyway writing it~ xD
Filler post cos I ended up rearranging my posters room today, instead of finishing the Japan loot post. xD
(Eternal Blaze starts at 1:42)
To be honest, she looked really constipated suffering, especially when she tried to reach the high notes. If I’m not blind, she sweated a bit too much (or it was really hot?), and her face turned a bit red.. ^^;;;
The show was Animax Musix Countdown, held in May this year. It’s a good try and I actually like it, tho I think it lacks the usual overwhelming spirit. I’d say Endoh did a better job to convey the power.. tho May’n version definitely much superior than Iwao Junko’s wtf-bossa version.
..but still, nothing beats the greatness of the original~!
The highlight this week would be the NHK Music Japan Shinseiki Anime SP that will have 2 segments.
The first one will be aired this weekend, August 16th (Sun) 24:10 in the general channel.. only 43 minutes cos MJ is still a stupid digest music TV show, but I’m happy with the fact that this might be a sign that NHK starts to acknowledge anison musicians!
The order of the performances is still unknown, but they already announced what songs will be aired first on the website. The real treat will be aired on August 24th (Mon) 23:30 in NHKBS2 (satellite channel).. means HD quality~! This 2nd segment (hopefully!) will include all 17 songs performed by the 8 artists.
OK, I admit that the bigger reason why I purchased this was for the extra 40 minutes of awesomeness that is in the bonus DVD. But I end up liking the songs too, heh. Can’t go wrong with Mikuni’s voice.
CD+DVD version with sleeve cover.
This has been sitting on my draft for days, since I’m pretty busy with Chihaya, er I mean work. 
I was even late to know about the Kadokawa comedy award breaking news, but I won’t post anything on that stupid dodgy show unless Tomachan wears nice kimono in the actual awarding this weekend.
Back to Akasha, beware that I might speak like a crazed Makkun worshiper below. Have I told you that I actually have more Makkun’s CD/DVD than Nana’s? ^^; Though Nana wins if I count the duplicates.
I’m flying back tonight, so this is the last report when I’m still in Japan~ xD
So, I was lucky to get a ticket for May’n Act last night, May’n’s first concert tour ever.. though not lucky enough, since tonight’s event is the one getting into DVD.
Actually I was hesitating to make this post or not, but heck, this is too funny to be kept for myself.
So here’s some background story: Remember this Animelo 2008 Digest video? I posted the same clip to youtube later on. I don’t really check it after a while, except if I needed to show it to someone.
.. until last week I received a fanmail.
