Supercell ft. Hatsune Miku is Super Awesome

BRS <3

Hurah, my glorious return to blogging. My entries may be a bit infrequent, but at least I’m back. I’ve never really been a die hard Miku Hatsune fan, but I decided to purchase the Supercell album, if only because I have heard most of the songs on the album before, most notably Black Rock Shooter, and I love the art. What I wasn’t expecting was a kickass CD, and a fantabulous mini artbook. Overall the CD is produced fairly well, with some fantastic accompanying instrumentals from Supercell, and of course Miku sounds as good as a computer synthesized voice can get. Was it worth the price? Well, nothing beats bumping Miku Hatsune on your car’s shitty sound system. The real kicker is the fact that I actually BOUGHT the CD which is unprecedented seeing as how my last ACTUAL CD purchase was sometime in 2007. That’s almost an entire year without having bought one CD. In any case, I would recommend getting the limited edition if there are any still available. Of course, there are pictures…^-^

TAMUSIC: The Symphony of Clannad, Kanon, and Air

Play it again Kotomi, for old times sake…

Just a little side note for those who recognize the quote under the picture of the day, I am fully aware that isn’t the ACTUAL quote from the movie, but it just SOUNDS better. Anyway, on to the rest of the post.

Having been gifted with the ability to procrastinate with unmatched skill, as well as being armed with a working computer and internet connection has allowed me to amass gigabyte, upon gigabyte of music from every corner of the internet. Through my many journeys I have come across countless number of doujin artists, and amateur productions, and often more than not, I stand amazed, and in awe of the level of skill, and quality that some artists can produce. With that said, it has only been a year since that fateful day I came across a certain group of artists refered to as TAMUSIC.

DJ Max Clazziquai Edition/Black Square: OSTs

Fuck, there goes another 2 months of my life down the drain…

DJ Max Portable Black Square is a music video game published and developed by Pentavision in South Korea for the Playstation Portable. Unlike DJ Max Clazziquai Edition, this game is far more difficult, and aimed at hardcore fans of the series. The series ALWAYS has some of the best art around, gathering talents from both Korea, and Japan. The music is some of the best in rhythm games, so it’s always a pleasure to listen through these OSTs.

Personal Opinion: Just as good if not better than Clazziquai edition. This OST really has it all, and not to mention some of the most well produced tracks out of the DJ Max series. For anyone who is looking for a OST with a wide variety of style’s and genres, you should definitley check this one out. You won’t be disappointed! There also a special remix CD that contains new mixes of all the head tracks. That’s 4 CD’s in one download. GOOD stuff!~So for those who are wondering where the OST is, I’ve done the honor of uploading it myself. Go ahead and enjoy it, I know I am.

Depapepe Discography: Acoustic Guitar Duo

How exactly does she play that guitar in the water without getting shocked….not that I’m complaining…

Now that fall is almost over I thought it only to be appropriate to upload some of Depapepe’s music which is perfect for the season’s transition. Their music is amazing, simply put, everyone should download this, because they have some of the catchiest melodies I’ve ever heard. This is the complete discography, meaning nothing is missing, every album put out by Depapepe is here, so get em while their hot. It took me quite a while to upload all these albums, but of course, it was well worth it.

Catalyst Shyne: A Musical Project

Well, if you guys didn’t know, I was a part of an amateur hip hop group in Alta Loma known as Catalyst Shyne. The project is pretty much dead, but with college apps almost done, we are planning on recording more songs in the upcoming months, so I’ll be sure too update some of our older tracks. If you wanna hear some more tracks us look us up on myspace. NO, we do not make our own beats, I know, how terrible of us. We don’t have the gear, but give us a listen anyway.

Back with another track for you guys. We took a lot of the criticisms and we tried to really push ourselves. We were quite passionate about this one, and we lots of work into this one. I think you’ll guys like it. This song is dedicated to one of our hyungs that died recently, and this song is a reflection of the confusion and how much of a loss we felt. It’s a bit darker than most of our other songs, but it really came from our hearts. In my opinion its the best song we’ve done so far, and how could it not? With such raw emotions flowing through us while we we’re working on this song, it’d be strange if it wasn’t our best song. I think this is the first song that truly came from our hearts, and not our heads. More criticisms will help us out. Thanks again for listening guys.

Shikabane Hime: Revisted

Makina <3

In a previous entry I stated that Shikabane was a show with a very fickle and seemingly surface level plot that is meant only to entertain, not to make you think. I was wrong. The anime has gone from being a simple action oriented anime to relying heavily on bringing up moral and ethical issues. Not that i’m complaining, but it seems Shikabane is really trying to get out of the whole, this show exists to blow shit up, mind frame. But venturing into the land of moral dilenmas, is a harsh and difficult path that will be met with much criticsm. At this point, i’m not sure exactly WHERE the show is going, and since I haven’t read the manga I have no idea what to expect, but I guess the show will be delivering more than just, let’s kill zombies kind of entertainment from now. I’ll stick with it to see where it goes.

Top 100 Anime OP’s, ED’s, and Insert Songs, A pointless project

Top 100 Anime OP’s, ED’s, and Insert Songs, A pointless project

Custom Made Girls..

I thought we could try something new, so if this idea doesn’t seem like a hit, don’t kill me, I was just trying.

I have seen quite a few lists on the internet, most notably 2chan’s list of 100 greatest anime openings and endings, but it includes quite a few old school hits which I’m completely unfamiliar with. So being the pretentious snob I am, I decided to compile a list of my own OP’s, ED’s, and insert songs that are composed of more recent anime.

I’m making this thread to ask the good members of the SOS Brigade, to help aide me in creating a list that reflects the opinions of the people of this forum. I have a few songs already added to the list, but feel free to argue the order, or even the placement of the song itself. Add songs, delete songs, move songs, feel free until we all come to a decision. You will see this list is heavily biased, and extremely poorly made, so feel free to manipulate it until we have come to a consensus. I take into consideration both animation, as well as music, and overall production quality. Take note the lack of Gundam, and/or other various mecha anime. Since the mecha genre is not my forte, I’ve decided not to include it for fear of being completely disparaged. The three lists only have one OP, from the anime, meaning there won’t be two openings from the same show in one list. So I’m not sure if this thread will go anywhere, but it’s worth a try.I noticed that there is a thread already dedicated to the discussion of OP’s and ED’s, but I think this project warrants it’s own thread.

So allow me to put on the table some guidelines since I neglected to earlier.
-Provide a list of OP’s, ED’s and insert songs that you believe deserves placement on the list, and also provide a number corresponding to each of them. We will then discuss placement, and heavily discuss which songs deserve to be on the list, where, and why.
- There can only be one OP, ED, or insert song per anime. Meaning the final lists can not contain two different Bleach OP’s, just one of them, this will limit needless duplicates, and add more variety to the list. So remember to choose the BEST OP from each respective show.
-The Anime must have its original run spanning from 1990 to currently airing shows, and perhaps future shows as well.
-Try to explain why you believe a certain OP, ED, or insert songs deserves placement, it’ll save a lot of time later, when we have to discuss the final list.
-For now, animated movies won’t be included on the list, unless popular demand asks for it. Meaning no Totoro for those who were going to recommend that.
-A few factors to keep in mind. The Music obviously, the animation, the direction, the overall production quality, and anything else you want to take into consideration, just be sure to back it.
