Asriel - unveil album review

2010-10-23T02:04:00.002+08:00

Because of some certain circumstances, I am unable to do some things. x_x It's like an indirect way of saying, "update your blog", "make a review or something" of some sort. And so, after some thinking, I decided on making a review on Asriel's debut album unveil since I'm getting kinda addicted with their music lately and not to mention, it's my first time reviewing their works. And so I shall

My opinion on the upcoming I've Sound releases

2010-10-16T18:39:00.002+08:00

Hmm it has come to the point that I've Sound is going to release three weeks in a row! And it really intrigues me who's going to get most of the sales and recognition... Is it: - KOTOKO's Loop-the-Loop single? [10/20 out] - MELL's MIRAGE album? [10/27 out] - Mami Kawada's No buts! single? [11/03 out] Loop-the-Loop is KOTOKO's 16th single which will be used as the opening theme for the harem

KYAAAH! Mami made my day!! (~^,^)

2010-10-06T21:06:00.001+08:00

After what it seems to be a ranting day, after I checked twitter, this one really surprised me!!! Wow that was the first time I tweeted to Mami Kawada herself and she did reply to it after a few days! XDD; And I was like, I want to jump and shout with all my might and be proud that Mami replied to my tweet to her. =D The dialog is actually this one (in English): F: I'm really excited to see

What does it really takes to have a job?

2010-10-06T18:09:00.000+08:00

And here we go again with those irrelevant real life (RL) stuffs. But what can I say? It's really ticking me off and it's getting out the worst on me. I felt like the corporate world is too cruel for me because I tried my best to find a work but it seems like it wasn't really that enough [I don't know if I'm the one lacking or the companies are just too damn choosy when it comes to candidates]. I

Toaru Majutsu no Index Season 2 OP/ED TV sizes

2010-09-27T00:57:00.005+08:00

AH YES! This is what I was waiting for. The 15sec preview of No buts! is just too short for me and it's a good thing a longer preview for both the theme songs for the upcoming Index season 2 are now out! Thanks to A&G Anisupa for that! =D To give a proper info (for those who didn't know) — To Aru Majutsu no Index II will start airing on October 8, 2010. And of course, my fave I've Sound girl

2010-09-10T16:18:00.001+08:00

Maon Kurosaki (黒崎真音) is one of Geneon's newest singer and probably if you look around and watch the latest anime, you've probably heard of her supplying the ending themes for Geneon's anime series Highschool of the Dead which is not in anyway related to Resident Evil — but similar on the zombie-infested town and exterminating of those. It's a bit silly to see that Kishida Kyodan & The Akeboshi

Katana to Saya [full + PV]

2010-08-25T16:18:00.000+08:00

Since the whole single is still not leaking [since almost all of their releases leaked in the net after a day or two from its release date], I woke up this morning receiving a message from the ALI PROJECT fan page from Facebook that the full PV of Katana to Saya is out. :D And it made me quite excited since it has been awhile since they made a full PV [since Senritsu no Kodomotachi and Datengoku

ELISA - Rouge Adolescence album review

2010-08-15T00:12:00.001+08:00

I've made a review on her debut album white pulsation so why not make a review for her 2nd album Rouge Adolescence? Besides, I also promised I'd do so. :P And actually, I'm not in the mood to type very long as much as I did with Red Moon and LINKAGE but I will still make the point. ;D Ok should I start?

Araa~ it has been a good two months since I've posted something on my blog?! And I didn't keep my word on being active. =_=' Shame on me. Well half of it is, you know, indolent since I didn't know what to write on mah blog. And even if I wanted to, I don't want to spam that much on my beloved blog. *hugs* So what happened to me after "that two months" — many things happened but I'm just going to

Tomorrow, my "substitute" is going to start working tomorrow. It's been a good 4½ months since I worked at Metrobank and time sure flies, at first I didn't know anything there but then after a while, I get to learn those stuff and meet new friends. It's just a bit fast — I still didn't want to leave there since I already enjoyed the work. But what can I do? That 6-month-contract would be almost

Mami Kawada - LINKAGE review

2010-05-16T19:42:00.000+08:00

Okay so after a month and a half of listening to Mami Kawada's latest album entitled LINKAGE, I think I'm ready enough to give words about each songs on it. But just like what I've said I can't promise that the Mami-fanboy inside of me will be too bias for this review. ;p haha. Just kidding. I'll do my best to review this one. 1. succession2. CLIMAX3.

Kalafina - Red Moon album review

2010-04-26T02:24:00.004+08:00

Remember this long review? I don't suppose I could write something like that since this isn't the first time I'm reviewing a Kalafina album and I don't think I'd making some intro or refreshers that much. But I would like to note that it has been awhile since the last time I reviewed their release. So should I start? Then go right ahead. red moon 光の旋律 (Hikari no Senritsu) テトテトメトメ (TE TO TE

Gaahh! I felt like I'm one of the exhausted people in the world. 14 hours of work is just no joke especially if the workplace is not near on your home. x___x Just got home at 1:30am and I was unlucky that I slept in the bus and didn't felt that I was already way passed my village so I have to take another jeepney ride. So much for saving money. T-T Though I just received my highest salary as of

Well, it's just me, FRED ITACHI who's back from the blogging world. Though I can't say I'm totally back for good but after an unintentional and long hiatus, I think my blogging spirit is getting back to me should I say? Okay, so I didn't post for like 5 months but do you think I abandoned my fandoms? I don't think so. =p Probably, I'm going to review ELISA's Rouge Adolescence, Mami Kawada's

Mami Kawada once again on the spotlight!

2009-10-23T00:52:00.004+08:00

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

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

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

It's a good thing someone from last.fm uploaded it and of course, as a paparazzi, I snagged this! xP *totally bricked*The trio is now back! *o* Although not the best cover that they've really had.

At last, I'm able to do this. ;D I've planned to do it 2 months ago already but because of lack of basis (since I haven't seen all of their single/album covers that time), I have to put this on hold. And I have to consult my younger sister who is also a AliPro fanatic just like me. :PAnd when I said "Best Cover" -- it's only the cover -- not the best songs. But I'm going to give also a remark on

2009-09-06T02:07:00.003+08:00

Who says I don't like rock? :D Well there are lots of types of rock to begin with, and the usual rock type that I usually listen to are: the progressive and alternative rock only and then mostly electronica --- techno, trance, eurobeat etc. Punk rock is a bit "it-depends" type for me while heavy metal is a bit screechy in the ears. I don't know why I find myself getting addicted w/ Gothic Rock -
