C.G mix 2nd album/Chikaigoto PV&full up!

感情: hyper (not that noticeable though)
音楽: "Anemoi" - eufonius





Gyaah~ I'm getting addicted with Anemoi lately. o__o If only I had the time, I want to make a song rendition of this!!! DX well maybe in summer vacation, nee?

By the way, C.G mix will be having his 2nd album which is still unknown for now... GNCV-1011/12 is its catalog number. It'll be released on April 29, 2009 [according to my trusty source cdjapan].

And surprise! I actually downloaded (somewhere) and uploaded it in my YouTube... xD Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~ PV. =D



Plus here's the long version which I ripped (plus edited because I added some volume and extended some silences to make it more "formal". I'm kinda OC when it comes to that, ya know! XP) from the PV.



Hiyaah~ I really prepared on this one. But sadly, I still haven't got my copy of Super scription of data full... Ö

EDIT: Additional news! MELL's going to have her first DVD as well!!! Release date will be the same as C.G mix's 2nd album -- 04/29. Still untitled though.

RIDEBACK remixer info

感情: a bit sleepy
音楽: "SCOPE" - MELL





I just made the Rideback article @ wiki since I already know who the remixer of RIDEBACK is. Yes, I was just waiting for it all along that's why if you're wandering, "WTF?! Rideback still haven't article?!". And my trusty sources already confirmed it -- namely Amazon and Ivemusic.net (IMS). =D

The name's Ken Morioka. Actually, I already heard of him but am not familiar of his works. o__o But I just searched about him and realized that he was actually one of MELL's guests at her SCOPE first live tour last November 2008.

Although I'm not familiar w/ him, I have high hopes for his remix and not to mention, for the song itself. I'm liking it better than KILL.

Oh and not just a remix, RIDEBACK will also have the usual instrumental version w/c is a good thing because I thought, it won't be having one. XD Well one thing's never changed and that is it's release date which is on March 4, 2009.

I'm free again~

感情: a bit tired
音楽: "CAVE" - KOTOKO




Ah yes~ after cramming for thesis, I'm feeling lighter again because I can do my unfinished tasks -- I'm currently searching an idea inside my mind what will be the name, pics to be used and design for the upcoming fanlistings -- 1 adopting (Jyukai) and 1 new (Kalafina).

I just finished making up the List of To Aru Majutsu no Index albums in Wiki and boy, it was a real hard work!! O.o although I just copied the format from Shakugan no Shana, it was still a bit handful.

My homeworks (take note, HOMEWORKS! Not just one! XP) for Business Policy & Strategic Management, I still haven't started finished it!! D: I still have to do another version for my other classmate because he asked me to do it for him --- because he'll pay me for doing it. XP Don't be mistaken because I won't be accepting that offer if not for the money! Nyahaha! *stomped then bricked* There's nothing free in this world today!!! >:) *pie splat*

Plus, I will still sort out my things for the 3rd & last immersion assisting job in Calamba, Laguna this coming Sunday, so I'll be leaving this beloved blog of mine for a while. Uguuu~ I'm going to face those hard-headed students again but it'll be the last time so I'm tolerating this.

*Looks at my watch then yawns* Oh it's already 12:15am in my watch, maybe I'll be sleeping for now. I'm not that tired but I'm feeling sleepy already.

To Aru ED2 up!

感情: just woke up
音楽: "Ko no me Kaze" - IKU

誓い言 ～スコシだけもう一度～ (TV size)
Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~

Lyrics: IKU
Composition: IKU
Arrangement: Kazuya Takase

I'd say this one's much better than Rimless ~Fuchinashi no Sekai~. This ED theme is much more relaxing and soothing. This also much better than Ko no me Kaze. XD The long version will be out this coming Wednesday, February 25, 2009 which is the same date as Eiko Shimamiya's Super scription of data. I'd just comment that IKU is fond of having long titles. O_O And she has uniform single covers... XD Ko no me Kaze -- summer, Rimless Fuchinashi no Sekai -- autumn and now, Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~ -- winter.

Tracklisting for Chikaigoto single:

1. Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~
2. Yurari Haru (Arrangement: Kaoru Ookubo)
3. Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~ -Instrumental-
4. Yurari Haru -Instrumental-

So how is me?

感情: still cramming
音楽: "Shitsuren Cafe" - Maaya Sakamoto




Yes, I've been absent for 3 days (which I consider as a short hiatus) because of some things I need to take care of. Like my thesis -- although I already accept the fact that I won't be able to graduate this March because of some complicated things that the Business Management department head did and most likely, I'll be able to graduate this summer but I still haven't told my parents because I know, they'll be mad at me -- not to mention my two big sisters. But what can I do? It's not my fault -- well maybe I had some fault there but the dept. head has the biggest fault here! o_o

I'm already cramming to finish the thesis proposal so that I would be able to take the second part of thesis this summer (and hopefully graduate). I have to submit this on Thursday. D:

Plus, as the acting president of the Bedan Volunteers (an org in our school), I'm assisting our head coordinator and his secretary with the students' immersion at Calamba, Laguna (which was from Feb.15-16). Well the stupid Religious Studies/Immersion Department decided to go there 3 consecutive times from Feb.8-9, 15-16, and 22-23 so I still have to bear with it till next week. Yeah, I'll be away again for a couple of days which I find stupid because we could've just go there once from Feb.8-10 to save the students from paying a large sum of money just for the transportation. Plus of course, they'll still buy something for their foster parents.

And as for me, I didn't pay for the transpo because I'm acting as one of the organizers plus those students are sure hard to handle. D; They're like kids disguising in an adult outfit. They're so disorganize! We barely had time to get fun and we usually got headaches. |D;; But despite that, I'm still happy because I got paid! ;3 Although it's not a big amount, it's still something worth getting. XD *enough with the money* Setting aside the money, I still prioritize in helping them and it's still a great feeling to aid and assist the students although I didn't really helped that much. Haha! *bricked*

And how's my hair, you ask? It's already a month and few days since I got my semi-bald hair but it's grown a little. In another month, I'm pretty sure it'll be much longer. I remember having my hair this long -- Well it's not really that long but it's already handful for me. XD

Well actually before I had my hair in semi-bald, my hair was a bit longer than the picture above and it really became intolerable because the bangs get on my eyes especially when it's windy. D8 Plus it felt like I had a tail at my back. O_O And then this haircut came.

And then after one month and 14 days... voila!

If Yuki-chan is having his (sorry typo error I was kinda sleepy last night when I posted this) her hair cut, I'm having my hair grow and it has progressed somehow. Haha! Sorry, am not good at winking! Haha! *gets totally stomped* And I still have the nerve to smile and wink when I'm already cramming for my thesis proposal?! XD Sad to say, I'll have to go now. Till next time. XD *gets hit by a smashing pumpkin*

Super scription of data (TV size) up!

感情: my head hurts yet feeling energetic
音楽: "Naraku no Hana" - Eiko Shimamiya




Super scription of data is now available -- for listening. XD Sorry if I was kinda late. I just returned to reality and I was out for the last 3 days.



Credits:
Lyrics: Eiko Shimamiya
Composition/Arrangement: Kazuya Takase

When I heard the preview, I was really damn sure that Takase will be the one doing the composition and arrangement. The usage of electric guitars were identical to his likings plus the intro was somewhat striking and unique. I like it but really don't like the chorus part. Hopefully the long version will be much better.

The long version will be out next week --- February 25. And for those who don't know, this will be the OP theme for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei (lit. When the Cicadas Cry Solutions).

Meme time!! xD

感情: just fine
音楽: "Prototype" - Chiaki Ishikawa




[2009.02.04] 北出菜奈 - 月華-tsukihana-

Wow it has been a long time since I made a review! xD Not to mention this is my first review this year. XD Oh well, review proper!

"Tsukihana" (lit. Moon flower) is Nana Kitade's 14th single. It was released on February 4, 2009 under the SMEJ label, a week before releasing her third full length album "Bondage" which the single is also included.

Oh, and the single title is used as the opening theme to the 2nd sequel (3rd season) of Jigoku Shoujo entitled "Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae" (lit. Hell Girl Three-Legged Kettle).

Tracklisting:
1. Tsukihana [5:03]

2. Kagami no Kuni no Aria [4:45]

Happy Birthday, Mami Kawada!

感情: exhausted
音楽: "Ashiato" - KOTOKO





I might not be the first to greet but I'm one of the first to greet my fave I've utahime Mami Kawada a happy birthday! XD And as usual, I made her a banner but it's not that great since I'm cramming for now. xD And just drop by to greet her even though I know she won't be able to read this one. xD

Hopefully, more successes and great releases to come for you! I wish you all the best. =D The fact that masterpiece didn't sold well, at least, it debuted at #12 in the Oricon weekly which is not a joke. I mean it's really high despite the disappointing sales. So keep up the good work! ^_^

感情: sleepy
音楽: "Red fraction" - MELL

Here's a preview for Eiko Shimamiya's Super scription of data which will be released on February 25, 2009 -- which is the date for the telecast of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei. Still no credits for the song. Nothing really special but at least it's still decent and lightly-tuned. It's still filled with electric guitars so I'm hunching Kazuya Takase will produce this one.

I'm more excited on the preview for Chikai. xD Oh and please bear with the noise. I just ripped it. XP

masterpiece's sales - DISAPPOINTING!!

 感情: sleepy & disappointed
音楽: "Naraku no Hana" - Eiko Shimamiya

I've been disappointed with the singles/albums' sales lately especially the non-popular ones. Just look at the charts this week!!! O.O Even the #1 didn't even reach 100k sales!!! Then the gap for the 7th & 8th position we're almost half in amount!!! Is really the global financial crisis felt all over the world? I thought that was only here in the Philippines or in the USA. =.=;

And what's worse, Mami's 7th single only sold approximately 6,800 this week?! Despite having the #12 position?! FUCK!! Not to mention the gap between Dragon Ash's sales Kawada's sales. Akai Namida/Beehive was even higher by a bit with it's 6,862 sales at #21!? And even the disappointing first-week 9,623 sales of PSI-missing was even higher even if it only got the #14! ZOMG!?! This is so unacceptable. =X

But what I'm impressed with PSI-missing is that it is still charting for its 14th week and has already gained a good 21,300 sales which means this single was still much very loved by the others considering it's been charting for 14 weeks.

Random Note: Oh I see, Nana Kitade at #27 although with a very weak sales... But well it's a miracle Tsukihana entered top30 considering it's not that great as it sounds (plus the PV was kinda boring --- if you have watched it, you know what I mean. XP). I mean Jigoku Shoujo tie-ins are not much of a deal. And it has been a while since Kitade had her single in a rather "high" position which I think was almost 4 years ago?! DX No, I'm not kidding. I think her last top30 entry was Kanashimi no Kizu which was released July 20, 2005. XD Even Antoinette Blue (a D.Gray-Man tie-in) didn't save her from getting lower than top30. Here's a review of Kitade's Oricon performance:

Kanashimi no Kizu --- #26 (2005)
SLAVE of KISS --- #79 (2006)
Kibou no Kakera --- #64 (2006)
Antoinette Blue --- #34 (2007)
Suicides Love Story --- #64 (2008)
Siren --- #189 (2008)
PUNK&BABYs --- #107 (2008)
Tsukihana --- #27 (2009)

Urrggh, I'm really a bit disappointed with masterpiece's sales. It's too low. ;_; As if it would get a decent sales next week. I've singles are just good on their first-week sales but after that, it would be kicked-out of the top30 or even top 40 in a worst case scenario.

Random Trivia: I only know 4 I've singles who were able to stay @ top 30 on its second week. And these are:

KOTOKO's Re-sublimity (1st week, #8; 2nd week, #26)
Mami Kawada's Hishoku no Sora (1st week, #11; 2nd week, #27)
MELL's Red fraction (1st week, #11; 2nd week, #26)
KOTOKO's BLAZE (1st week, #13; 2nd week, #28)

as usual, the image chart above is courtesy of Hadji of jpopmusic forums while the information above this line is courtesy of Oricon.

masterpiece single LEAKED!

感情: cramming once again
音楽: "jellyfish" - Mami Kawada

Wow I really expected that Mami Kawada's 7th single masterpiece will leak out as early as Sunday evening. :D Right now, I'm listening to the coupling song jellyfish and I'd say it's really GREAT!!! Despite the doubts of it being great sounding, Nakazawa and Ozaki hasn't failed me to the very most and that is a great thing, actually.

The title track itself is good but not as good as the coupling song. I think masterpiece could do better than what Maiko Iuchi produced. Maybe a few more listen will do the thing. XD

Aww I'm gonna make this short as I am cramming for my thesis once again and I'm still working on it and just wanted to spread the news even if its short. ^_^

Oh btw, you can check out the single here although it's a bit low quality one (128kbps).

Oh another edit, here's the PV. Someone posted it in YouTube already. XD It's a bit action-filled and I'm impressed, Mami's continuing the 3-persona PVs just like in PSI-missing. xD Though the 3rd persona was only revealed in the end.
