In Saturday, I arrived in Saitama about 11 am, thinking that was early enough to get all the goods.. but apparently thousands of people were already there. For God’s sake they just opened the booth at 10.30. -_-;;

..and after 1.5 hours of lining up with smelly people, it was finally my turn.. but the Animelo bag set and the wristband was sold out. Tempted to buy Minorin’s fan-light but didn’t. BTW I still have no idea why they didn’t sell S-sized shirts.. M is still VERY big.

Don’t even think about buying goods after the event though.. only shirts and pamphlet left.

Here’s things I managed to get.. I wouldn’t have survived without the towel..
I got encore things too.. both days’ ribbons and the white heart too~~!! <3 <3 Had to fight for that

Notes.
I still think it could have been better to have OUTRIDE in the 1st day instead. Generation-A was a bit empty without JAM Project guys. Kishow and the boybands couldn’t fill in their voices.. And so was OUTRIDE without Nana/Makkun. D:

Those two days was too awesome it even feels more like a dream than reality.. >_< Now it’s time to pray for a BluRay release..

Finally home. It was hard to go online since I stayed in a small but nice (and really cheap) ryokan.. anyway.

I started out late in Day-2, arriving at about 3pm, since I’ve got the goods and to be honest my whole body hurt. I didn’t think I could jump anymore, at least not as crazy as Day-1.. but well, I was wrong.

- JAM Project opened the concert, I was ready to scream my all for Makkun but.. that wasn’t her on stage, it was Misato Aki.
Turned out Makkun got sick and couldn’t join the 2nd day. There’s a long post in her blog apologizing and explaining her condition.. it was unbelievable she could perform very well the day before.. get well soon, Makkun!

- I love Misato Aki. But someone else loves her more, he shouted “daisuki da yo!!” really loud that quite a bunch applauded him.
- ELISA sang really well, but just like Suara, she didn’t “perform” much on stage.
- DLB was really funny.. too bad no Asu e no Brilliant Road.

- Hocchan is the epitome of cuteness. CUTE. CUTE. CUTE.

- Momoi Halko performs awesomely.. but what’s more awesome than her? My fave performance of the day: UNDER17 (yes, megane-momoi!) duet with MOSAIC.WAV!! Any moe-pop lovers should go crazy for that! xD
- Lots of high-pitched moe voices, esp Sakura Saori, miko..

- IM@S sang medley of the favorite songs! <3<3<3
Chiaking didn’t use Azusa’s voice though.. but damn she’s hot.

- Aya was way better than Gekisou or last year’s Animelo. I actually enjoyed Love Gun live. And I saw her pantsu so many times..

- May’n was Sheryl Nome that night. She’s not as chubby as what Yells PV shown us, nice legs.
- PSYCHIC LOVER should do more ballad.

- Uninstall.. Uninstall.. was holy.
- Chihi sang nicely, but I wished she would rock the stage instead.

- Now the big guys.. JAM Project really did rocked the super arena. I literally felt the heat.. with everyone flying for SKILL, it was like a sauna. Loved “OKUI” tattoo in Kageyama’s arms. No Border was weird without her, tho..

- This time I sat in left-side of the platform.. close enough to get Hocchan (!!), atsuko/KATSU, Aa, Mingosu smiled and waved back to me. JAM Project guys & Yoffy too. But the winner was Chiaking and her flying kisses.. *dies* Too bad I missed Momoi and Misato Aki. T_T

I’ve translated most of Animelo set-list.. will get it done tomorrow. And maybe some pics..

Highlights of the day:
- Ultimate duet, Nana + Yukarin opened the live with overly cute Koiseyo Onnanoko and Mamimume Mogacho. Their hardcore fans (and me) went crazy. Yukarin’s one especially.
- Ishida Yoko’s Strike Witches OP stuck in my head now.
- yozuca* was great. And she did a trio with Minorin and Aa~
- Minorin sang a lot. Rinbu-revolution duet with Okui.. way better than the tribute CD.
- Best singer was Suara. Beautiful voice.
- Minami sang all the songs I wanted. Love Jump <3
- Nana was AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME. Dancing in the velvet moon live was.. *nosebleeds*
- ALIPRO’s Arika did fulfil her last year’s promise, duet with a Nana song, ETERNAL BLAZE..

More details sometime later.. I’ve never been this tired, being overly excited somehow gave enough stamina to jump and scream for 4 hours~ a Japanese guy next to me didn’t believe me when I told him this was my first real concert~ xD need lotsa sleep for tomorrow’s Momoi and Hocchan~

August 30. AKINO from bless4

So only AKINO is coming? I’m 100% sure she’ll perform that one popular song..
Songs:
- Sousei no Aquarion OP: Sousei no Aquarion, Go Tight!

August 31. Sound Horizon

I was a bit surprised they were invited. This makes Day-2 a NicoNico festival with one orchestra band.. ^^;
Songs:
- I can’t recall any anime song from them.. wiki said Gunslinger Girl image album and few game themes.
- my personal faves: Ark, Eru no Rakuen

Animelo Theme Song

It was out yesterday. Go and buy it too. My CD is so far away from me (this is why I hate going home), I can only see the shiny jewel case and whatever poster I got in September.. Anyway, the song and PV are already available in the interwebz.. couldn’t help not to download them. The song is pretty good.. not memorable like Outride or catchy like Generation-A, but I like it. Still a mystery for me why they didn’t use motsu (m.o.v.e) to do the rapping part..

Hit the jump for screenshots and lyrics.

PV was awesome as usual. Generation-A was better for displaying lyrics. Nana’s long hair is WIN. But seriously almost all of them look about 10-15 years younger than their real age. That means Momoi Halko looks 15 and Hirano Aya looks 10.

Okui Masami. Chihara Minori.

Misato Aki. Taniyama Kishow (GRANRODEO).

Kuribayashi Minami. Yonekura Chihiro.

Kitadani Hiroshi. Endoh Masaaki.

Momoi Halko. Hirano Aya.

Suara. Mizuki Nana.

May’n. Aa (savage genius).

Ishida Yoko. Ishikawa Chiaki.

Kageyama Hironobu. YOFFY (PSYCHIC LOVER).

Fukuyama Yoshiki. Takarano Arika (ALI PROJECT).

ELISA. Anisama Friends.

Below are the romaji lyrics I made, so most likely it has a LOT of errors somewhere there. Makkun wrote really admirable Engrish lyrics like usual.. Now I just need to memorize all this before August 30.

Yells ~It’s a beautiful life~ preview

I browsed NND with my lame connection, and found a preview of Yells (kinda outdated, but oh well).. it didn’t win me in the first try, but after few repeats I kinda like it, maybe as good as Generation A.. but no chance to dethrone OUTRIDE as my favorite Animelo song. The first press is running out, secure a copy now!

To make matters worse, Nana Clips 4 was stuck with Aussie customs so I had to fly back home without it. Mood is slightly better after I ordered another copy, coming here in about 2 days. News on Nana’s 18th single to be released near my birthday and her upcoming BluRay totally made my day too. I just need to get my hand on PS3 and 5.1 speakers.. right.

Another Animelo Update

I just checked Animelo website again after a looooong time. I was disappointed enough with AAA ruining my perfect 8/30 line-up (ignoring the Zettai Karen girls), but rejoice, it’s Lia we’re talking about here. I was really amazed the first time I listened to her “crystal voice” in Aozora… but to be honest, I haven’t checked her other works, except that and the School Rumble insert songs.

New artists from my last update:

August 31 - ave;new feat Sakura Saori (1st Animelo)

Not really well-known for western fans, I guess.. their songs are mainly used in adult PC games.
Songs:
- Nursery Rhyme (OP, ED): true my heart, Dearness
- angel breath (game): just be with you

August 30 - AAA (1st Animelo)

ATTACK ALL AROUND! …..whatever.
Songs:
- World Destruction (OP): ZERO
- ….do I care? no.

August 31 - Lia (1st Animelo)

Songs:
- AIR (OP, IN): Tori no Uta, Aozora
- Gunslinger Girl II (ED): doll, human
- Initial D 4th Stage (BGM): ALL AROUND, SKY HIGH

Theme song singers (CD)

..so they did leave people out. Here’s the list, copied from the website:

ALI PROJECT, Ishikawa Chiaki, Ishida Yoko, ELISA, GRANRODEO, Kuribayashi Minami, PSYCHIC LOVER, savage genius, JAM Project（Kageyama Hironobu, Endoh Masaaki、Kitadani Hiroshi, Okui Masami, Fukuyama Yoshiki), Suara, Chihara Minori, Hirano Aya, Misato Aki, Mizuki Nana, May’n, Momoi Halko, Yonekura Chihiro

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..)

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..

The missing artists - in order of Animelo experience

- Takahashi Naozumi (3 Animelo)

I must admit he can sing really well live. I just had to avert my eyes from my monitor for a while. Not that he’s bad-looking, but I prefer pretty girls to pretty boys. *cough* But really, it’s weird he’s not listed, with all his anisongs and the fact he was there for all Animelo.. :-/

- Oumi Tomoe (2 Animelo)

Surprised she’s not listed too, albeit being under Makkun’s evolution label. But IIRC she hasn’t released anything after last year’s Animelo. Maybe that’s why.

- Jyukai (1 Animelo)

Manami has a pure voice and Dewa composes great music. Hanamuke no Melody (Aa! Megami-sama ED3) is a great song I’d love to hear live.

- Shimokawa Mikuni (1 Animelo)

Bird. Sore ga Ai Desho. all the way. It’s really a pity she only participated in 2005. Someone please bring her back.

The zero Animelo a.k.a my dreams:
- Hayashibara Megumi: Kujikenaikara is ’nuff reason for me. But hey, it’d be good marketing for her comeback, with Slayers Revolution on the way.. *cross fingers*
- Sakamoto Maaya
- Shintani Ryoko: for the sake of completing the “idol seiyuu” line-up, and IMO she’s better than Nonaka Ai or Sakakibara Yui.. Makino Yui is okay, but her (Aria) songs will put people to sleep, they’re just not for live, thanks.
- Chiba Saeko + Nanri Yuuka: LOL @ totally-impossible.

OK, enough stupid ramblings, will update tomorrow with the IDOLM@STER list.
