Cool Medley of Anime songs

Cool medley of at least 15-20 songs from anime from Shingeki no Kyojin to Shakugan no Shana III.

And nice voice too.

Hatsune Miku the singing robot

Hatsune Miku, the famous virtual idol that took the world by storm now featured in this video as singing robot. Pretty freaky if you ask me, to be honest. This is another video of her development history from her makers.

What's next? Saber?

Black Rock Shooter anime pilot by Yamakan

The only reason why I knew this because I find out that ex Haruhi diretor Yamamoto Yutaka and the gang (Studio Ordet) will be doing this anime. Black Rock Shooter is a basically Miku Hatsune's opposite, as I was told. Expect fluid animation and very expressive face like Kannagi. Other than that, I have no idea. It looks good for sure.

The main site

Chinese anime music video; Super VC.

MV version



Story version

Pretty interesting music vid from Chinese rocker band Super VC. All latest Chinese military hardware is on show here and it is very patriotic. Top notch animation too. So yeah, Chinese hate Japanese but still consume the cultural memes from Land of Rising Sun. Heh.

Cheers.

K-On! / けいおん！ ED Piano version

Well played. Bravo.



Some errors in small parts but overall not bad too.

K-On! / けいおん！ cosplay ED version

More fan made stuff. The ball keeps rolling.

K-On! / けいおん！【巡音ルカ】 [Don't Say Lazy] ED variations

Astro Fighter Sunred / 天体戦士サンレッド Season 2 is announced?

Hearing from this, apparently season 2 to surprise comedy gem Astro Fighter Sunred / 天体戦士サンレッド is announced today. If this is true, that it will be awesome, since it is well received and does deserve a 2nd season.

Refer to this for cast of the series which included few girls from AK48.

Cheers.



Funniest part of series for me. Freaking random as hell.

Cheers.

OP for Phantom ~Requiem for Phantom~ by KOKIA

I hated this anime but the OP is wonderful. KOKIA has sang another great song for horrible anime of Gunslinger Girl: Il Treatino last year. She sounds like her songs, tragic but beautiful since she sing awesome songs for 2 terrible animes. Sounds strangely fitting for some reason, like celebrating the death of series.

Few more of her works solidify perhaps undeserved reputation since her voice is beautiful are Brain Powerd (the one where Gundam creator erred big time) and Agito: Spirit of the Past (the movie is not that good).

Cheers.

Her website.

K-On! / けいおん！【巡音ルカ】 [Don't Say Lazy] ED by Megurine Luka.

Not as good as original but it is not bad either.

History of Hatsune Miku development.

With English subtitles (turn on the caption by clicking off annotations at bottom right of the video). Earlier entry. What an amazing technology.

Cheers.

An awesome ED by KOTOKO.

Chi-Ni-Kaeru ~on the Earth~ by KOTOKO, ED theme for Starship Operators / スターシップ・オペレーターズ.

Beautiful and haunting to largely forgotten series.

Punk songs by Japanese VA.

Pretty hilarious concept to imagine cutesy voice singing hard edged songs but yeah, here it is. Especially voice of Haruhi Suzumiya's resident doormat, Mikuru (Yuko Gotoh) singing Nirvana's signature song, "Smells like Teen Spirit". LOL!

I suspect this album is strictly for anime crowd.

Can't wait for this!

Kannagi's most hilarious moment for me is...

This song is titled Soya Bean Song. I couldn't help but keep laughing at this absurd scene.

Ayumi HamasakixHello Kitty

Pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki and Hello Kitty, the popular Japanese feline character, have joined hands to create a new character set to hit Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shanghai shortly, companies that created the new character said Friday.

Another one

Well it certainly looked like something. But I have difficulty matching her and Hello Kitty, just like trying to combine Gundam and Godzilla together. Seriously mismatched and from what angle is this creation supposed to come? Cuteness with edge?

This is a singer who past her prime back 2002, now trying to be at the top of the game. Hard to see how is gonna happen though. Her glittering career becomes under attack when news of her deafness broke out.

It is ironic that Hello Kitty will be more enduring than her, in a way.
