Collecting figures and model kits was considered a very expensive hobby. At some point, one question popped out, “Why do you waste money on this PVC? For love? For hate? For power? For allegiance? For revenge? For dream? For justice? For sin?”. It all depends on a person POV. Here’s a gallery to convey another POV of these PVC model. WARNING! NSFW and bandwidth eating inbound (more…)

Gekijouban Macross F -Itsuwari no Utahime- ED & Insert Songs Album - CM Ranka

My iTunes library just hit 7000+ song yesterday, so it was a cool story. Started out with 700 songs in 2006, 4 years of collecting, hope my HDD wont die on me until I get a replacement. Long story short, here’s a review of what I’ve been listening to in 2010. Above is the album for Macross F the movie “Itsuwari no Utahime”. Contains insert songs such as ‘ダイナム超合金’, ‘ファミリーマート・コスモス’, ‘恋のドッグファイト (ちょっとだけ)’, and not to forget ‘ニンジーン Loves you yeah!’. While movie is fukken where, the ending song ‘そうだよ’ is included in this album. Reminds me of Dark Steno Ranka which is not finished yet. (more…)

BLAZBLUE SONG ACCORD #1 with CONTINUUM SHIFT

My second post which got something to do with Daisuke Ishiwatari, my all time favourite composer. The new album BLAZBLUE SONG ACCORD #1 with CONTINUUM SHIFT deliver vocal tracks from Blazblue Seiyuus and his intricate guitar and orchestral metal arrangements. Seems like his works are going towards orchestral metal rather than guitar solos back in Guilty Gear days. FYI on Blazblue, he only composed the soundtrack and not the char design whatsoever. Notice the bright and colourful character which differs from his metal oriented style. Maybe it’s time to let Guilty Gear rest in peace.

Track listing, old tracks now available in vocal ver.

1st track, Continuum Shift. Mixture of metal guitar solo with harpsichord. Not much of an impact but I’ll give 4 out of 10 stars for guitar solo complexity.

2nd track, 「強風 」.. Shishigami Bang vocal song track. Performed by Koyama Tsuyoshi. Not a Bang fan so I’ll just let this one slip.

3rd track, 「Condemnation Wings ~Cry Camellia…~ 」. Started with harpsichord solo with, a track for the new character Tsubaki Yayoi( Asami Imai ).

4th track, 「Oriental Flower ~ 花となれ~ 」. Chinese styled track for Litchi, performed by her seiyuu Takahashi Chiaki.

5th track, 「Queen of Rose ~ 真紅の傍観者~ 」. Rachel HHNNGGGGR RRHHHHH!!! Okay, performed by Kana Ueda. Kinda melodic and feels like a ballad, oh yeah, kinda Ali Project too. Vampire loli, what kinda music do you want to pluck into her? Guitar solo was short but awesome, 7 stars out of 10 for that.

6th track, Gluttony Fang. Daisuke’s original piece. Heavy metal oriented, with piano/keyboard solos. Guitar solos are played during the chorus, doesn’t feel much impact.

7th track, Condemnation Wings. Guitar solo version.

8th track, Nightmare Fiction. Sounds something like A7X’s Unholy Confessional in the beginning, then move onto guitar solo enriched with harmonic.

9th track, Memory of Tears. Started out slowly, then there comes the mellow guitar solo that’s so heart melting. Probably the best guitar solo/track in the album.

10th track, Endless Despair. High tempo song with crazy drum bashing.Fast but unclear solo in the middle. Probably final boss fight?

11th track, Rubble Song. From the first time hearing it, I can tell that it’s surely a credits roll song. The feeling of “everything has ended” is clearly expressed.

12 track, 「Stardust memory ~ 約束の場所~ 」. Sung by Kondou Kanako, seiyuu for Noel Vermillion.  a Game Over track from the previous Blazblue. Probably my choice of vocal track, not that good but enough to keep me in tune.

Song Accord #1 already covers like 25% of the original Blazblue track, added with tracks from Continuum Shift. So there’s going to be #2 with Tomokazu Sugita singing?

The year of riding Taiga, lucky dragon.

Year of the Taiga had come, HHNNNNGGGGGRRRHHHH!!! Though I rarely watch anime now, but a certain anime, you can just let it slip past your bandwidth. This year seems to promise me my favourite series movies and OVA. (more…)

Man, it's always Sol Badguy isn't it?

A trip to a bookstore somehow feels like a trip to a toy shop, I must be getting old. The story is I went to KLCC a few days back and browse thru kewl weaboo books. Too bad stuffs aren’t as cheap as KFC’s Set A. First bookshelf that I raped is the japanese music section. Among the cool stuff are Macross F complete score book, Final Fantasy guitar arrange and series of Jigoku guitar technique lesson. Though the score doesn’t really catch my eyes since their not on my loot item list. Proceeding to the artbook section, the felt of guilt struck me as I saw the books that I illegally downloaded. Though, most of the artbooks are copy pasta of the respective artist previous works so it’s important to know what’s inside since it’s a hundred bucks on the line. There’s lots of books I kinda drooled on but I want to highlight this book here Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007. (more…)

My internet is totally FUBAR for now, Packet One failed to provide additional backup, all hope is lost, I repeat, all hope is lost. Whining about my slow speed doesn’t fix anything, so lets do a review of an old movie from my movie folder. Hot Fuzz(2007). Directed by Edgar Wright, written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Anyone familiar with Shaun of The Dead surely remember these guys. (more…)

Why? Why?

This is three dog and you’re listening to another sugoi monogatari aniki. Today we’re gonna talk about a fan made video featuring Miku in an awesome manner from Mike Inel. It’s a bit guro but I believe no one came from animated pixels guro. (more…)

While fans had been busy with the latest naruto adventure with lots of mystery still unsolved, THE NEXT GENERATION IS ALREADY OUT! (more…)

HHHHHHHNNNNNNGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!

Ask your internet, how bandwidth did you use per month? Supposedly you downloaded 7GB a day at 1.2Mbps, so that’ll make 210GB. Now, divide it  by 10, THAT is the bandwidth I can spend monthly. Worst? It was shared by 4 people.

Sorry if you guys talks about anime and stuff, I can’t download them. One anime is already 300MB, imagine how fast my bandwidth is spent that way. However, I still download my daily dose of soundtracks and doujins, thinking that I can leech those animus from several acquaintances. Maybe I’ll change back to my previous ISP in a several month, by then, I just had to enjoy black and white manga while listening to the soundtrack for the shows I haven’t watched yet. OH THE IRONY!
