I think this easily qualifies for "Most obscure album of the year".

Puncolle ~Voice Actresses' Legendary Punk Songs Collection ~

I swear I'm not kidding - It's a CD full of seiyuu-kawaiified Punk classics!
If you ever wanted to hear a chibi choir going "Sex... and violence"... No wait, I don't think anyone would want to hear that XDDDD
Anyway.
Even though it's only 400x400 px big, I put the cover under a cut because...

( ... because... )

Now, for those of you who actually want to torture themselves by listening to the CD; the original torrent is here.
I also threw the thing onto Megaupload here.

Enjoy... or not ^_~

This entry was brought to you by my -M-/Mathieu Chédid/weird music icon :D

- Finished my new blog layout in record time. And it turned out really nice, if you ask me =)

- Finally grabbed "Enson Vol. 2". Remember? I talked about it here and here. And since I already romanized the tracklist, the fact that the files I got were all in kana didn't matter at all *proud of herself*

I also added some claims to my profile. Have a look at the stuff (in the "omake" section), it's really amusing XD

ETA: I uploaded ENSON Vol .2 for the Nigihana community. Click here (Megaupload link)!

Nicked from rdyfrde :D

Anywho. Downloads. I've put all the songs in one file because I'm a lazy bum. You can grab it here (right click + "save as") (.zip/86.8 MB, all songs in .mp3/128 kbps).
If anyone just wants any one of the songs without having to get the whole archive, just tell me. I'll gladly upload it for you!

... No, I'm not doing the 1:10 mark thing. Even I am not that crazy ^_~

PS: Be glad I spared you "Belleville rendez-vous". And that's just because I forgot :P

Okay, this is my first ever poll - ain't you excited? Well, probably not ;)
Thing is, I've made four icons with the same theme (the HATSUNE Miku "Black Rock Shooter" music video - I'll explain later... probably XD). And since I like them all and I only want to actually use one, I'll let you pick ;P
(The other ones will certainly be posted to my upcoming LJ icons site, though.)

Why is it that, when you order something, the more you want it, the bigger the chance of something going wrong?
Those stupid online shop people. I'm so gonna kill them if the stuff I ordered doesn't arrive tomorrow (or on Thursday, at the very latest). Dammit to hell.
(And no, I'm not telling you what it is until I actually have it ;P)

TAMAKI Nami's new album rocks so hard it's scary. I was really worried because of the horrific hiphop video she released a few days ago ("Gokigendaze ~Nothing but something~!"). But apparently, it wasn't exactly a preview of how the rest of the CD would be because most of it isn't R'n'B-ish at all. Instead, it's Nami the way I like her - a bit of Dance, a bit of Rock, a bit of Trance, all in a nice, catchy package. Yesh!
*chains herself to the album until further notice*
XDDD

I wanted to download KODA Kumi's discography for yamasagi (Personally, her music makes me run away. Fast.), but the torrent isn't seeded.

I wanted to have a look at the promo clips for Clannad (I read a short synopsis of the story and it sounded really interesting), but the scarywater tracker is down.

It's not even Friday the 13th ;)

Why didn't anyone tell me that HAYASHIBARA Megumi has had a new single avaliable since last summer? I missed her so much and didn't even notice she's been back for so long ;_;
Anyway. Review, review :3

01 Meet again
A completely new song that celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Slayers franchise. It could have very well been written during the days of the Slayers series. It's catching and totally charming. Her vocie didn't change a bit, it's still cute to die for <3

02 Get along (Self-tag version)
Slightly modified re-make of the originals eries' opening. I love the improved backing vocals!

03 Give a reason (Ballade version)
Well, I didn't exactly have doubts about whether my favourite Slayers track (and second-fave anime song of all time) could work in ballad form. But actually haaring it is still... wow. It's simply spectacular. And you have to admit, Megumi's vocie is pretty powerful, despite the chibi edge ;)

04 Don't be discouraged
The original song, nothing new here.

05 Meet again (off vocal)
For anyone who cana ctually sing ;)

All in all, a great single, three wonderful additions to my library of Slayers tunes, and it's a shame that I overlooked when it came out =_=

This afternoon, mum came in when I was watching last night's Colbert Report (to be precise, The Wørd - "Second Opinion"). She said she wanted to watch some of it, too, so we did and I translated for her. Seems she liked it =)
I also got to tell her a bit about both shows and their relevance. Not bad!

Losslessone is giving away hundreds (and when I say hundreds, I mean hundreds) of CDs via DDL!
For more information, go to their IRC channel #LonE@irc.rizon.net!
If you will excuse me now...
*goes to grab, grab, GRAB!!!*

Had nothing to do so here's another something for you.
I'm addicted to this song right now so I decided to spread the love.

"Lost complex" by Iceman, from the album "Digiryzm Mutation". Download! (.zip / 4.33 MB / 4:48) Lyrics!
Iceman was ASAKURA Daisuke's band. They did a couple of songs for Gravitation, the anime (for example "Sleepless beauty", one of my all-time fave anime tunes <3). He now composes mainly for T.M.Revolution.
The song is something like a cross between dance, rock and pop with a fuckin' awesome intro.
Notice the use of guitars and keyboards and the typical computer drums? If that isn't ASAKURA-like, I dunno what is.
Enjoy :D

That meme thing took a lot more time than I'd expected.
BTW, did you see a pattern in there? Yes, that "choosing anime songs only" thingy was planned :)

Just ordered an mp3 player for mum (!).
An i.Beat cebrax.
I like the name O_o
And I'll be taking up on the job of teaching her how to use that guy :D

But on to the important news for in about four weeks, I'll be joining the lague of cat parents!
That's right, Yama and I will be adopting two baby cats from one of his co-workers ^_^
*squees*
More about that once it's really happened.

Apart from that... utter House madness O_o
Gosh, Hugh is SO HOT IT HURTS. And his character must be one of the most fascinating ones ever created.
I'm only up to episode eight but at least I got further insight into the "original VS dub" matter. And I have to once again praise the Germans. Voice actor performances aside, the translation is amazingly faithful to the US script. That's not always the case and it's good that they did such a good job for such an astounding series. BTW, the German airing time has changed again, this time from 10:15 PM to 9:15. It seems that House is kinda popular so they're moving it gradually forward. It's now airing right after CSI Miami!

Okay, enough nonsense for today, gone to cut some CDs and maybe listen to the new album my TAMAKI Nami <3
C ya!
