Takeshi Saitou does his own version of Hanezeve Caradhina

I'd initially thought that a lot of sound effects have been applied in order to make this track because it is a miracle to hear such a kind of vocal power! The vocalist of the revered insert song Hanezeve Caradhina, goes a little more acoustic and shows us that his performance for the anime was …

Blasting My Headphones: Natsume Mio, Morikawa Hazuki and Komiya Ena (CV Isobe Karin, Yoshino Yuna and Lynn) — take-one

I'm back at it again with side B of an extended play! The song used for Just Because! ending theme, behind, is nice and all but then again I am fully taken in by the second track, take-one. Here I have just another one of the nicer synth pop, coupled with medium to high BPM …

Blasting My Headphones: Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou Opening and Ending EP’s by Chito and Yuuri (CV Minase Inori and Kubo Yurika)

It has been a while since I've encountered an opening song specifically written for an anime and actually contain a hell lot of meaning within the lyrics. I have already gushed out my appreciation on how Japanese lyricists work their ass off to have absolutely no lines in verses and choruses the same in their …

Blasting My Headphones: Saekano Flat Bonus CD Volumes 1–5

Ah. No wonder where the rest of good soundtracks went. A few remaining dozens of background music got their release along with the second season. And keeping up the tradition of cover songs, all five CD's came with one for each. Splendid! If you have been after some of the soundtracks exclusive to Saekano Flat …

November Music Time

Well, thanks Thailand for having insanely cheap PC parts! I expected no less from Asia. So I got my PC up and running again, but that is only one of the two ticks for my criteria of "return". The other one is having free time, which I frankly do not. I mean, if your first …

Anime Audio CD Covers: They are visual delights

Welcome back to Appreciation Station! This time I would like to write a post about my appreciation for illustrators who work for covers which we often see on anime opening/ending EP's. Yes, these guys are methodically the same as those who do arts for DVD, Blu-Ray, Character Song Album, Drama CD and OST CD covers! …

Blasting My Headphones: GARNiDELiA – アイコトバ (Aikotoba)

Here she is! Giving Western dance music artists a run for their money! Despite being a pop unit, I have always known GARNiDELiA for doing a genre that is much lighter on electronics, especially the synth.     Used as an opening theme to Animegataris, Aikotoba brings in a rather unique type of upbeat. It's surely …

Blasting My Headphones: Roys – Can’t You Say

Used as an ending theme to Koi to Uso, finally arrived the full version of romantic R&B pop song I'd been waiting for! "We'll find my liberty..." -- In the afterchorus. R&B Pop is soooooo 90's and early 2000's. This is a major reason this song comes off as extremely unique compared to many other …
