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)
音楽: "agony" - KOTOKO

I didn't know that betting a banana for a competition was good...

Having the daily-daily Dream single downloaded, nothing but bad images are coming out from my head while I wait for the PV to finish its download.

Truly granted, the single itself worthwhile to download especially upon marking Message as the "highest" priority. I should hear the coupling song first to know if the single will be saved by this one. And I was right. It was something... outstanding for a SORMA No.1 remix. A mixture of pop-rock to soft rock w/ some hints of punk-rock in the instrumental.

But what made this download a ridiculous one is the PV itself. I did not bothered myself uploading it on YouTube since I already saw two users uploaded it and so I'm just going to embed it.



I thought the CM/previews for the PV was really ridiculous but wait till you see the full one. It just started on a baseball showdown in which, the winner to be awarded with just one banana. Now that's kinda nonsense. Who wants to do that in the first place?

And in the end, KOTOKO wins but the referee (or umpire?) eats the banana so KOTOKO and her enemy, chased him out.

Oh my, what a ridiculous banana story.

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

Kalafina addiction - ON-GOING! XD

感情: uberly spazzing over Kalafina!
音楽: "oblivious" - Kalafina


Sorry for the long absence. As you can see, I'm quite over busy lately with job application and my new blog layout (which will be finished very soon!) and with other graphical projects. XD But setting those aside, I'm moderately fine tonight because I'M UBERLY EXCITED W/ STORIA!! Not the single but the Oricon daily debut and guess what? It debuts at #10!! :DD Well if you ask me, they quite deserve the position because storia is a very different single from their previous ones. It has a tribal, provincial-aura plus the heavenly voice of our dearest Wakana, Keiko (my crush!! =D) and Hikaru. But composer Yuki Kajiura made a second attempt to neo-classical flavor with the coupling song lirica. And I just love how Kajiura-san put her effort on making these songs. They're quite lovable! XDD

And when I was just lurking in YouTube, looking for the storia PV, I stumbled upon a live version of oblivious, my Kalafina favorite song. *spazz* My eyes widen when the video started and was even more excited because I saw Hikaru!! Yes! Ever imagined why she's supposed to be not there? Because at the time of Kalafina's debut with the said song, it was only Wakana and Keiko and then I will see Hikaru in this live video?! Now, that's exciting!

I was shocked when I heard that she was the first to sing plus her falsetto effects for the intro choral part was pretty heavenly!! I'm lovin' it!! =D Wakana and Keiko's voices are just like in the original song! Wonderful. XDD They're even greater live than some other J-pop artists that I know!

Take a lookie here. xD



If you want to try the group for the first time (or even not? xD) and ask me for a recommendation on which song to try out first, it's got to be oblivious. xD It's so trancey, ethereal and heavenly all at the same time especially the intro. Want to try the song? Click here.

And here's the PV for storia. I love their outfit here!! xD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! xD

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*

Anyway, here's the REAL credits. 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. ;)

RIDEBACK PV

sorry if the video is uber low quality.. ~_~

I'd say although this one's a bit out of the place, I can still consider this one of MELL's "cleanest" and happiest video and not to mention, greatest video. Know why? You can see it on her smile in some parts of the video. =^_^= She looks great. <3~

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.

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.

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

PSI-missing goes up to #11!

sentiment: excited!!!
harmony: "Kaze no Kirin" by Hitomi Takahashi

YEAH!! You read it right!! Unexpectedly, PSI-missing goes up two positions and made it to #11 tonight!! Yes, folks this is really is it!!! XDDDD;; *gets shot*

I like the instrumental version of PSI-missing. The song has such nice synths that it made me repeat it all the way I want it! Way to go Nakazawa Tomoyuki-sama!! *HAILS JOO* XD

Looks like the single will do just fine. Hope it will sky-rocket to #1! Well I shouldn't be daydreaming of the impossible. But maybe at least it will enter the top 10. :D

MELLSCOPE didn't do any much good in the Oricon daily but still peaked the #13 position (except the fact that it debuted at #4 in the daily charts) in the weekly so hoping that PSI-missing will do much greater, nee? And since the failure of master groove circle, I've should produce more quality-wise singles such as this one.

Oh and speaking of MELLSCOPE, I just remembered I haven't posted the video of her SCOPE. in my mutiply. So here is low resolution video.

The song is great but the PV is uber boring. -o-;

PSI-missing debuts at #13

sentiment: contented
harmony: "Ame" by Mami Kawada



Well, the title says itself... Not really very high for a debut but not bad... I hope it still moves further in the next few days. I'm hunching it's Oricon weekly won't drop to #15 if it continues like this, that is, if it won't drop out of Oricon daily top 30. *surely prays that it happens* XD

It would be better if the single will be either #11 (same as Hishoku no Sora single) or #10 (dropping one position than her successful JOINT single) but either way, it won't be bad if it will position itself on #15 as long as its sales are high (I mean higher than 10,000 copies), I'll be more than happy if that will occur next week!

And yeah, here's a low-resolution PV of PSI-missing. *adores & loves the PV*

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
