What's this I've Sound?

Let me just rant before I go to the slums again!! :/

After announcing of another epic fail non-I've remix album master groove circle 2 (probably a sequence to the horrendous master groove circle released last September 24, 2008), KOTOKO will now release her 5th ALBUM (first best album)?! O.O Why exhaust KOTOKO when the other I've girls needed some more release? Where's MELL's new single & album?! (-____-)' Aren't you gonna release more Mami? Where on earth is Eiko? Anyway, details:

Mami Kawada once again on the spotlight!

After being sick for 3 days I'm back and I'm not going to elaborate on that matter because it's a horrendous matter. D: D: You're not going to like what I've gone through I swear.

But now that I'm back, I'm proud to say that Mami Kawada is on my spotlight again! I'm definitely excited for her Prophecy single that I already made its english wiki page via here.

And now a larger single cover is now available!



Prophecy
vocals/lyrics: Mami Kawada
composition: Tomoyuki Nakazawa
arrangement: Tomoyuki Nakazawa, Takeshi Ozaki

TV size version here.

Although a frame (song credits still not revealed) is not the ending theme for Shana S, anticipated theme song is now revealed:

All in good time
vocals/lyrics: Mami Kawada
composition: Tomoyuki Nakazawa
arrangement: Tomoyuki Nakazawa, Takeshi Ozaki

TV size version here.

And the banner pic on Mami's Geneon Website has now changed!! Lovin' it!

That's about for the news about her! And I'm listening to her more and more... Probably she'll be on my last.fm top one artist in a week. :P

Prophecy details, SCREW preview also available

Sudden news coming up after another and so I'm going to post this one.

First, Mami Kawada's 8th single Prophecy which will be used as the opening theme to Oct.23-airing OVA of long-time anime tie-up Shakugan no Shana. Cover and coupling song has been revealed though no song credits have been released. I'd say she's always been in a dark room/place in PVs and covers no?

I'm liking the song. :D Although it's not as rockier than Hishoku no Sora and JOINT. Or maybe the intro will be something good. XDDD; TomoyukixTakeshi for this one probably since they're the ones for the first two Shana openers (w/ exception of Hishoku no Sora in w/c Nakazawa did it alone). The PV for Prophecy is also on Mami's Geneon Website.

And I ripped the preview of KOTOKO's 14th single SCREW from the new trailer of Assault Girls. ":D I admit I was rather shocked that it was a techno track rather than a dark rock.

Datengoku Sensen details

Forgot to update this one. I already know this information several days ago but didn't had much time to post so since it's the weekend, I'll better post this. xD


堕天國宣戦 (Datengoku Sensen, eng. Corrupted Kingdom of Heaven War Declaration)
ALI PROJECT 26th single

1．堕天國宣戦 (Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra OP)
2．寶島 (Takarajima, eng. Treasure Island)
3．堕天國宣戦（instrumental）
4．寶島（instrumental）

Liking the cover. xD It's so pirate theme and exotic. I wonder what they will have for the PV... :D The TV size is also out in YouTube already. x) Now I kinda understand why they described it as a hyperactive version of the gothica Baragoku Otome. :D I'm so in love with the song! It starts real mediocre then suddenly it bursts out with high energy. XDDD I wonder how will the coupling song will be? TBH, I can't read their minds on what neoclassical darkwave concept they have on this song but I sincerely hope it'll be a good one!

More J-pop releases to look forward

Posting again! *whew* After a long and cursed day, I'm going to post some more J-pop releases I'm surely going to anticipate. ;D

Surely, it has been fast because it's already October and many anime series like Tatakau Shisho, Fairy Tail, Shakugan no Shana S, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun will be aired! Though to tell you honestly, have not watched any of them up to now because of you-know-what.

And as for J-pop, it's also kinda the same. Though I still keep on updating myself no matter how hectic my sched will be. And I already told in my earlier entries one of those I will be keeping my eye with right? Like Epsilon no Fune (10/14), Datengoku Sensen (10/21), progressive (10/28) and Prophecy (11/18). And as for this post, I will include MORE releases from my fave J-pop artist. :D

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I'm totally excited for ELISA! I just heard the ED theme and it was better than the airy Wonder Wind with a touch of let's say Spyglass with the progressive rock feel. ;D It's very refreshing rather than IKU's ending themes. :P Lovin' it at first heard. And the single cover looks really pretty, as usual!

Mugen is like a powerful dramatic rock-ballad for an OP theme -- is White Album that of a dramatic anime?! D; Shin'ai was also the same but more of an orchestral feel with the harp strings. I like the latter better but Mugen is not that bad.

But if you think the first season theme songs are better, then you're wrong! Akai Ito was much better than the dramatic and mushy Mai Ochiru Yuki no Youni. A soft-rock clear performance none other than by my favorite Suara. ;D

If you want to hear the TV sizes, you can go to YouTube. :P They're all available there.

progressive single details, blossomdays (short ver.) now available

Ok, so I'm late with the news because I assume you know the reason, right?

And so ε～Epsilon～ full ver. leaked as well. =S And I was a bit late for that. Did not even know where it came from. Anyway, this one is NOT a total high quality rip. Someone just posted this at aibublog. I don't think the one who uploaded won't mind if I use his/her link. I was just a pissed off with the Engrish. 6:06 is so love for me. x3 but totally not impressed with the long version. Only the first 4 mins. were impressive. Or maybe the mp3 was not that high quality that's why I didn't like it. :P

And btw, I ripped the blossomdays short version from the demo in the lupinus website. Not totally liking the song although it's eurobeat. Kinda sounded like the techno-trance-euro group m.o.v.e's work if you ask me -- it's too generic and nothing astounding.

But THE MOST EXCITING NEWS FOR ME IS THIS...


progressive [CD+DVD]


progressive [CD-only]

Yes I may be too late with the covers but take a look at this!

03. progressive -instrumental- (5:41)

ヽ(´▽`)/ ヽ(´▽`)/ ヽ(´▽`)/

What's exciting? Because progressive will be a long song!!!! XD storia was great but it's too short for me. :P The coupling song is moderately long as well! I'm kinda longing for a new Kalafina single and it will be full-packed! Though haven't heard any preview of progressive. x__X But I know it will be great because Yuki Kajiura IS EPICALLY GREAT!! 8D And it's a good thing the terrible cover was the CD-only version, gotta love the CD+DVD!!! ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪┏ ( ) ┛♪┗ (･o･ ) ┓♪┏(･o･)┛♪

And by the way you can access the Kalafina website through http://www.kalafina.jp/ and not the Sony Music website anymore!! It's kinda long for me to memorize!!! (((( ；ﾟДﾟ))) Too many slashes... At least I memorized all the Geneon Website of the I've Girls. :P *gets shot*

Hiatus or not?

Err, I don't know? Really, although I'm still just a trainee/newbie (or whatever you call it), it felt like I was already working a long time ago. And I got too busy that I only get an hour (or even lesser) to check my mail, facebook, multiply etc.

My work schedule is 8:00am-6:30pm and it's not always followed. Sometimes, I leave the workplace at 7pm then I got home by 8pm. After that, eat dinner and do my assignments as an HR Coordinator -- then sleep because of exhaustion. And when I arrive home, there's already one using this PC so don't really have that time. After my assignments, which I will probably finish on or before 12mn, I'll sleep.

Alarm my cellphone at 4:00am. Well ever since I started as a trainee, I didn't get any decent sleep so as of now, I still feel sleepy. *yawn*

So I don't really know if I'll be in hiatus in the next few days. Who knows? The weekend is approaching. And that would be my only time to go online.

Epsilon no Fune previews, now available!

Previews are now available on her main website.

Mostly are upbeat songs especially the new songs. :D Although I can't say I'm liking all of them though. Ö some of them are kinda obvious on their credits. And I'm going to specify my hypotheses on the song credits of Epsilon no Fune.


1. ε～Epsilon～ (Kazuya Takase)
2. リアル鬼ごっこ Real Onigokko
3. ∞-DRIVE (Kazuya Takase)
4. scene
5. 雨とギター Ame to Guitar (sounds like Kara no Tsubomi? C.G mix + Takeshi Hoshino)
6. 限界打破 Genkai Daha (Tomoyuki Nakazawa x Takeshi Ozaki)
7. モネラの絆 Monera no Kizuna (C.G mix+Takeshi Ozaki --- so obvious! it sounds like HISUI!)
8. ハヤテのごとく！ Hayate no Gotoku!
9. RI←SU→KU (Maiko Iuchi)
10. HELLION (Tomoyuki Nakazawa x Takeshi Ozaki)
11. Geoglyphs (C.G mix)
12. BLAZE
13. LITTLE BABY NOTHING (Kazuya Takase -- w/ both of them in their most brilliant ENGRISH words)

I'm liking the following: ε～Epsilon～, 限界打破, and HELLION. ∞-DRIVE was alright while the others seems to lack something...

ε～Epsilon～ longer preview

WOW I now have a longer preview of KOTOKO's ε～Epsilon～ which is one of the songs on her upcoming 4th album entitled Epsilon no Fune. :D Hearing this, I now have a stronger conviction that I've Sound King Kazuya Takase is the composer/arranger for this song. Although the beginning was kinda generic, it still stands out as a better version of low-quality-work BLAZE, RIDEBACK et al. Not a very bad effort after all. (It works at least for me)

I'm officially in love with this song. XD
