Now Playing ~ Innocence (Shuffle!)

Innocence

Artist: Hashimoto Miyuki
Shuffle! ED
Duration: 4:46
Rating: A (9/10)

The song I got addicted when I saw the first episode of Shuffle!…which was about a year ago. But back then, the ears really put me off so I dropped it, not knowing exactly how popular it was/is. Until my friend gave me the full series recently, allowing me to watch it. But anyway, email me if you like the song and want it!

Now Playing ~ Fixed Mind (SHnY 7th Char. Album – Kimidori Emiri)

Fixed Mind

Single: SHnY 7th Char. Album – Kimidori Emiri
Artist: Shiratori Yuri
Duration: 5:04
Rating: A+ (9.5/10)

The 7th Character Album of the popular Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu series has been released recently, along with the 6th (which features the cute Imouto-chan). Of these two albums, my favourite song is this one, Fixed Mind, sung by Shiratori Yuri. Actually no, it is now my favourite song of ALL the character albums. Better than Cool Edition (Asakura Ryouko), and better than Seishunii Janai Katsu (Tsuruya-san). And wow, Emily is meant to be a very minor character, but is enough to tribute an album to her (or single, as it’s only 2 songs).

Now Playing ~ Winter Hot Music (YUI)

Winter Hot Music

Single: Rolling star
Artist: YUI
Duration: 3:08
Rating: A+ (9.5/10)

The accompanying song to YUI’s Rolling star single! This is personally one of my favourite titles by YUI. It’s a pleasant, fairly slow song and very entrancing. The player is in the sidebar which you can listen to. If you want to the song, email me. If you don’t know what my email is, it means you haven’t looked hard enough so don’t ask.

Also, I have updated this post with the 320kb/s version of YUI’s Rolling star for download!

Now Playing ~ Yume no Tsubasa (Tsubasa Chronicle Original Soundtrack)

Yume no Tsubasa

Artist: Makino Yui
Duration: 4:32
Rating: A (9/10)

~Please nominate for the 2006 Anime Awards.~ And yeah, this message is probably gonna appear on every entry. :-P OK so I don’t think I researched ths song properly. I just happened to find it on my harddrive and the name was in Japanese so blah. I didn’t even know what it was called since my computer can’t display Japanese in the filename. I didn’t bother opening up the properties to see the Japanese until way later so yeah. Email me at novastorm@animeblogger.net if you want the song, or visit #AnimeBlogger @ IRCHighway and you might catch me on at the same time.

Now Playing ~ Be Your Girl (Elfen Lied)

Be Your Girl

Anime: Elfen Lied ED
Artist: Chieko Kawabe
Single: Be Your Girl
Duration: 4:27
Lyrics
Rating: A (9/10)

The ending theme of the famous Elfen Lied (a pretty f**ked up show if you ask me) but nonetheless a good song by Chieko Kawabe. I’m also pretty sure this is the only song of her’s I’ve heard of. Anyway, I’ll be doing a post soon with all the past ‘Now Playing’ songs up for dowloading, if you haven’t figured out how to do it yet. Most them have expired anyway, but they should return in a few days. Oh yeah, I did say I was going to upload some more Tsuyokiss songs didn’t I? I’ll do that too…

Now Playing ~ Sora wo Miro (Maaya Sakamoto)

Sora wo Miro

Alternate Name: Look at the Sky
Artist: Maaya Sakamoto
Album: Shounen Alice
Duration: 4:05
Lyrics
Rating: A (9/10)

A song by Maaya Sakamoto from one of her albums called Shounen Alice. I’ve hardly heard any of her songs, but from what I have listened to, I can say she’s quite a musical talent, and I like the maturity in her voice. Here is a past song by the same artist. The player is at the top of the sidebar, and of course, if you know how to read code, you can also download it from the source code! (Or email me).

Now Playing ~ Merry Go Round (YUI)

Merry Go Round

Artist: YUI
Album: From Me to You
Duration: 3:52
Lyrics
Rating: A+ (9.5/10)

You all should know YUI from one source or another. I learnt of her fame through her works in Bleach music, then started listening to some of her other songs. She’s become one of my favourite singers now, and the song I’m really waiting for is Rolling Star, which hasn’t been given a set release date yet (or has it…?) So for now, here’s the first song in the album ‘From Me to You’, called Merry Go Round. The player is at the top of the sidebar! :-)

Now Playing ~ Beautiful Day (OtoBoku)

Artist: Yui Sakakibara
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
ED – Beautiful Day
Duration: 3min 52sec
Rating: B+ (8/10)

Yui Sakakibara, who has released 4 singles and 2 albums, and just started in the anime voice-acting industry with her two roles this season: Haruhi from ‘Happiness!’ and Mizuho’s homeroom teacher in ‘Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru’. I have to admit I don’t usually listen to her songs but I didn’t have good song ready so I just chose to upload this one.

In other news about Rebuild of Evangelion, Anime News Service has posted something new…

10-19-06 (9:29AM EDT)—- World Exclusive: Rebuild Of Evangelion Updates

Tonight we met up with Evangelion Producer Toshimichi Ootsuki in Akihabara. According to Ootsuki-san the “contents” for the “1st part” of the new Rebuild Of Evangelion movies is now complete. The animation staff is also very close to being fully assembled. Building on past hints (the cover image of the October, 2006 issue of Newtype Magazine) Kaworu Nagisa and Rei Ayanami will be central characters in this new story. The theme of the “first part” movie will feature the characters in a school setting prior to the arrival of the angels.
