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.

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

感情: excited!!!
音楽: "ε～Epsilon～" - KOTOKO

ε～Epsilon～PV preview available, Shana S ED (?) teaser also available

WOW MORE I'VE SOUND PREVIEWS!!!! *bricked* I'll be smack up for uploading videos that much. But I just wanted to share this in the world as well. HEY THIS IS WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING, ya know! :P

Oh well the first video is some sort of teaser of Shakugan no Shana S ending theme (which is untitled for now) which is also sung by Mami Kawada. It is not upbeat so I'm presuming this one's the ending theme and not Prophecy. And from the sounds of it, I hunch that this one's by Takase. I'm liking it because it doesn't sound boring and all -- just light-hearted pop-rock of some sort.



And this second video is the PV preview for KOTOKO's PV for her upcoming album entitled ε～Epsilon～. And IT DOESN'T DISAPPOINT!!!! @_@ I'M TOTALLY LOVING IT!!! IT'S SO TRANCE-Y!!! XDD The PV preview is also available on her Geneon Website but since you're already here, might as well not go there and press the play button, nee? *bricked by KOTOKO for straying off her website visitors*



This one sounds just like Re-sublimity-Agony dance track!!! I'm hypnotized by it!!! @___@ DEFINITELY, IT IS A HIGH RECOMMENDED one. XDDD; From the sounds of it, it looks like it'll be Takase as well because it's a higher-tempo version of Mami Kawada's epic song TRILL.

感情: a bit hot (although it's raining outside)

Tatakau Shisho OP CM

The 30-sec. CM for the opening theme of the autumn-airing anime series Tatakau Shisho - The Book of Bantorra is now up for watching on its main website. :D And I also got the video file in my cache *ehem* so instead of going to the main website I encourage you just watch the video here because I'm going to upload it here. :P

Just like I said in my earlier post, the title for the OP theme would be Datengoku Sensen (lit. War Declaration of the Corrupted Kingdom of Heaven) by none other than the favorite neoclassical-darkwave gothic lolita duo ALI PROJECT. The single for this OP will come out on October 21, 2009.





I'm still not liking the song that much just by hearing the CMs but I'm having a hunch, when I heard the TV size version, I'm going to like it more. :D

And THERE WILL BE A PV FOR THIS SONG!!!! XDDDD; *rolls in the floor* And the venue will be the TRUMPROOM, in the shopping district of Japan -- Shibuya. *how rich* XDDD

Kaori Utatsuki - Spyglass PV preview

感情: onakahetta~
音楽: "One small day" - Kaori Utatsuki





This is a 45 sec. preview for Kaori Utatsuki's PV for Spyglass, her first mini-album. As you see, I'm really liking the song that's why I have to post this one! I'm really hunching a Kazuya Takase production here because of the synths used especially in the last part of the preview. It sounded like the one's in all alone, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni c/w song.

I like the video because it's so sunny and Kaorin looks cute with the bandana. I was just a bit annoyed with the guitars -- just like in her Shining stars bless single because you can hardly hear guitar beats just from hearing the preview and yet you'll see her playing the guitar? I mean, what's the sense? -_-a

SPYGLASS previews

感情: just fine
音楽: "oblivious ~Fukan Fukei remix" - Kalafina

RIPPED REQUESTED BY: KuroiYuki88

Currently, the most interesting song in this mini-album is the titular track which is Spyglass. It's a bit R&B-ish and kinda refreshing which is good for the album, IMHO. I only ripped these 4 since the long versions of the other songs can already be heard.

Even Last Song was not bad for a ballad. :D It's very gentle and not too mushy.

Release of mini-album is still on August 5, 2009.

Mechamimi OP song revealed!

Just like what I indicated in my last post, the demo movie for the eroge Mechamimi will be revealed today/tonight and the title of the Mami Kawada OP theme will be:

platinum
Lyrics: Mami Kawada
Composition/Arrangement: Maiko Iuchi

AND YES IT'S NOT DENPA!!! xD *thank God I'm wrong!* It's not all great but it's also not that bad! It sorta reminds me of masterpiece but a slower version and minus the noisy electric guitar though but the synths were a plus for me and it's not plain unlike fickle. I think Maiko Iuchi did fair for this one! And here's the short version of platinum.

And here's a download link for the song. =D

Shinsetsu Ryouki 2 demo movie up!

感情: fine
音楽: "Kara no Tsubomi" by MELL

And here's a higher quality version of Bizarrerie Cage short version. And a bonus for KuroiYuki-chan. xD So that she can hear the original version of C.G mix's under the darkness. Just uploaded it for fun. xP

Powered by Podbean.com

I really like Bizarrerie Cage because it really cushions MELL's powerful vocals as ever plus Maiko Iuchi did an excellent job of mixing rock and techno elements in the song. With the usual messy electric guitar but this time it was more attractive and the combination really makes it really anticipating -- at least for me. xP Can't wait for the long version to be released. XD *spazz*

Although the demo movie was kinda... brutal and bloody. Not the usual eroge, huh? Or is it not eroge but more of a horror visual novel like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni? x0 Oh well, at least the song is very inline with the game and that's what matters. x3

Chikai preview and UTD -remix- up!

感情: a bit tense
音楽: "Chikai (preview)" - Eiko Shimamiya

Powered by Podbean.com

I already had my under the darkness -Remix- last night but due to lack of time, I wasn't able to upload it.

I like Chikai because it's more lively than WHEEL OF FORTUNE. I admit the latter is good but I'd say I love Chikai more. I wonder how SORMA No.1 will do OXISOLS. under the darkness -Remix- also sounds good though I still the original version but what I like about this remix is its very much trancier than the original.

Oh yeah, I'm a bit tensed because my parents already knew of my secret. x__X' As usual, my mother's ok with it but NOT my father. I'll be preparing my ears tomorrow for some showering of *bleep* words that will surely lower my self-esteem but I'll endure it. And I can't promise I'll be posting more because of this problem. So if I weren't able to post in the next few days, you already know it.

Departed to the Future songs credit

As much as I expected, me and KuroiYuki-chan's guesses are almost absolutely wrong but she has a higher score than me because I changed my answer on MELL's song credits. xD *gets kicked by Yuki-chan*

STATUS EDITED as of 03/29

Anyway, here's the REAL credits. XD

L'Oiseau bleu
Lyrics: Mami Kawada
Composition/Arrangement: C.G mix
(Totally unexpected!)

snIpe
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition/Arrangement: Maiko Iuchi
(That explains why I don't like the song that much. x_x)

Paranoia
Lyrics: Eiko Shimamiya
Composition/Arrangement: Kazuya Takase
(We were right about this!)

Kara no Tsubomi
Lyrics: MELL
Composition: C.G mix

(And this is where I committed my greatest mistake!)

end of refrain ~Chiisana Hajimari~
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition: Tomoyuki Nakazawa
Arrangement: Tomoyuki Nakazawa, Takeshi Ozaki
(The most unexpected reality! XD haha! That's why my inner conscience is telling me to like it. XP)

Oh and here are the PV previews. Well, one thing's for sure. Kara no Tsubomi is no no vain. XD

If you want to download the SINGLES, go to Winter Symphony, Misaki's mp3 rotation site which happens to be that I'm also one of its maintainers and posters. ;)

Now I'm a bit convinced that Kazuya Takase arranged this one and not C.G mix. I like the intro but sorry I really didn't like the chorus part, just like Super scription of data. 

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

PV preview for Mami's masterpiece

 

感情: cramming
音楽: "triangler" - Maaya Sakamoto

Another PV preview for masterpiece, the 2nd OP theme for To Aru Majutsu no Index by none other than my fave I've utahime Mami Kawada! Another dark video, I guess. XD Seems like Mami has a knack for doing "dark" videos. Not a horror, goth or emo video but literally, just a dark video. Making video in a very dark place. XP But it doesn't seem boring like I predicted. xD

RIDEBACK PV - more decent than KILL

感情: thinking about the upcoming days
音楽: "Bizarrerie Cage (short ver.)" - MELL

MELL's GENEON WEB SITE

I like this PV more than the KILL PV. Much more decent I'd say plus it displays a fashionable MELL although you can't help notice the Engrish-ness. =3 But that's natural of MELL. And my impression on the song still didn't change. I still find it great plus it sounded like kicks! than its TV size.

I have a hunch that MELL's getting the trophy to be the second Arika Takarano because I just notice she's wearing another French aristocrat clothes but as I said, it's still better than the seductive-black image she portrayed in KILL. It's a no-no for me, I'd rather see her wear the black satin clothes she wore in no vain. That's still tolerable and much more "hauntingly beautiful" rather than the former. What can I say, MELL still rocks! =D

masterpiece PV preview up!

sentiment: a bit sleepy
harmony: "Reflectia" by eufonius

the PV preview for Mami Kawada's 7th single is now up on her Geneon Website! =)

Although it's another "underground" PV just like JOINT, it seems a bit boring since she's just there singing... Oh well, it's just the preview, not the full PV, isn't it?

I'm a bit excited! .^___^. especially for the coupling song jellyfish!! XD

Preview for KOTOKO's "Restoration" available, MELL for RIDEBACK

sentiment: kinda excited but not super excited
harmony: "Hotaru Boshi" by Chitose Hajime

Restoration ～沈黙の空～ (Restoration ~Chinmoku no Sora~)
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition/Arrangement: C.G mix
Theme song for BALDR SKY

As with the third tie-up with the series, KOTOKO still performed the opening theme song with C.G mix (again) with the music and arrangement. Not as good as Face of Fact and the Resolution version. Surely, I've music declines bit by bit... ~_~ Hopefully Mami's 7th single won't be disappointing... Random thought: Why am I feeling that Mami will perform the theme song for the eroge Haramiko? Hmm... I hope my premonition's correct since Mami hasn't done any eroge theme songs lately.

On other news, MELL is back with another tie-in with a new anime series called RIDEBACK which will aire in Japan next month, January 2009. Not sure but most likely, it'll come with a single which will become her 5th one. She's been consistent since she'll also do the theme song for Shin Setsu Ryouki no Ori entitled Bizarrerie Cage which serves as her 2nd tie-in with the said eroge after performing the ballad Permit. Bizarrerie Cage will be composed and arranged by Maiko Iuchi.

A preview for the theme song for RIDEBACK is available in the trailer for the anime. Song is still untitled. It's a perky and bouncy one but it's kinda bland with just the preview. Or is it aiming to be the next FLY TO THE TOP? Who knows.

PSI-missing 15sec. PV preview

Oh my, the PV preview is now available! Mami Kawada looks a little creepy in the 5sec. part with those contact lenses. I hope we won't be disappointed with the whole PV like what I'm thinking. >>;;

And speaking of this song, it looks like we won't get any 5-6 minute song by her. According to some of my sources, the full version for PSI-missing has only a length of 4:20 while Ame will only bear a 4:36 length. Hmph, I miss long songs from her. T____T
