ELISA - Rouge Adolescence album review

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?

1. Prologue of Rouge Adolescence
2. Wonder Wind
3. Real Force
4. Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai e- (まだ見ぬ未来へ)
5. Snowy Bell
6. Rinrinto (凛々と)
7. Absolute Perfection (Interlude)
8. Waterland
9. Seihitsu no Prophesia (聖櫃のプロフェシア)
10. Absolute Perfection
11. Itsukushimi no Bolero (慈しみのボレロ)
12. Epilogue of Rouge Adolescence

Look who's back from the slums of Beverly Hills?

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 LINKAGE and Kalafina's Red Moon in the next few days so I hope my followers (if any) and friends got to read this one. Since I haven't been posting, expect that my style of expression would be a bit different or like it's lacking something. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to work on it. XD And so coming up for review next time:





[P.S.: Sorry if my layout is not something I really made. I'm just not in the mood to make a layout for myself. =p but I still made the new banner.]

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

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.

Mami for Shana OVA, I've Sound not for OP/ED themes for To Aru Railgun

Yay for this news! I was praying that Mami Kawada will do the theme song for Shakugan no Shana S and it did come true! I've Sound Database already confirmed this news! No title, credits and releasing date though but it is confirmed that it'll be Mami for both OP/ED songs and will come out in a single. :D More news will come up once some news will be revealed. ;D

On other news, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, the sort-of sequel to the I've-Sound-managed anime series To Aru Majutsu no Index, will still be managed by I've but through music production only (meaning the BGMs and not the OP/ED themes) in which Maiko Iuchi holds responsible once again. As for the OP/ED themes:

"only my railgun" by fripSide -- OP
"Dear my friend -Madaminu Mirai e-" by ELISA -- ED (yes!!! finally ELISA!!!)

As you can see, no I've on the theme songs but who knows? Maybe the 2nd OP/ED will another by Mami Kawada!!! XDDD *bricked* or anyone in the I've Sound group probably... AND I'M ALSO EXCITED FOR ELISA!!!! YAY!! AJKWQYBWJCYTWVDSUW I'll be reaching to you ELISA! =D
