He was first recognized after completing the Soundtrack for the drama ‘Iryu~Team Medical Dragon’. He composes for dramas, movies and anime series. On July 15th 2009, he released his first original album entitled ‘musica’. “

The person responsible for my ear orgasm.

Sawano-san composed most of the memorable track from recent anime, noticeably Gundam UC OVA and Guilty Crown. Most of his work are really impressive and brings about a feeling of sadness but at the same time determined.

His first work that captivated me. Good tracks are "Unicorn" and "Piano to Anna"

Another UC track for episode 2 and 3. Also have a lot of good tracks. My favourite is "Mobile Armor" and "MAD-NUG"

Also to my ignorant nature to the soundtrack music scene, I just learned that he also composed the soundtrack for Guilty Crown. No wonder I cried a bit when Ouma draws Inori’s void in the first episode.

Lots of songs with weird title inside. My favourite gotta be "βιοζ-δ" and "κrOnё" "

You can check the rest of his info and discography on last.fm instead of wiki. Also check out his own website here. Maybe I’ll try Ao no Exorcist soundtrack next.

• made a lot of friends, especially in the music department. And learned that there’s a lot more I need to catch up as a musician.
• lose friends who are very dear to me due to misunderstanding and my attitude of expecting too high from people.
• learns nothing new

I think that pretty sums it up. So… derp. I don’t have any new year resolution or what to fix in 2012, that’s kinda how a boring person I am.

I was born in the year of the dragon.

Ahem, Gentlemen.

If I were to describe the game… It was juicy, delicious and badass. Though some might find it offensive in some part, I think I had so much fun with it. Hey, it got me more addicted than Skyrim in the first try.

Don't say stuffs like that, I might fell in love.

Game system is pretty simple, if you’re familiar with Grand Theft Auto, then you have no problem running through this game. There’s 2 seperate part of the gameplay, one is the main mission, and the other one is the city-conquering part. Though it’s better if you enjoy the city conquering part first since it’ll give you bonus stuffs to go through the story.

This game involve shooting guys dressed in cute costumes.

Running around naked is a routine to prove how badass you were.

By any chance you think this game was just an ordinary mafia wars, it gets better from there.

Always trust a big naked guy, he always come in handy.

Am I fighting against an aircraft carrier now? *immaokaywiththis*

Next we go wresting, seems pretty normal to me.

A tank that fell from the sky? that must be good news.

The city got infested with zombies? No problem, I'm really good at these.

Somewhere in Cyber space, I need to take down a hacker.

Okay mister hacker, you're going down!

So a floating aircraft carrier... Give me a heli and I'll get the job done.

Someone remind me why am I on Mars right now?

Nooooooooooo!!!!

That probably sums up the game. Though I think most of my time are wasted on modifying the character.

Husky looks.

Innocent nerdy looks.

But of course.

Hey... don't look at me like that...

I think I’ll go for another replay tonight. So that’s all folks.

Ah, my dangerous and destructive waifu. Gasai Yuno.

First of all the director Naoto Hosoda . Looking through his record, I can say that none of his works that I like and most of his work is Key Animation. Seriously my expectation of Mirai Nikki anime turns out to be awesome had turned to dust just from here. Then here comes the main attraction of the series, Gasai Yuno, to be voiced by Tomosa Murata (?) . Fresh seiyuu is good, and sometimes it turns out really good like what happened in Soredemo Machi, but I think Yuno voice is totally annoying and my image of yangire waifu is ruined. While blood drenched and everything, she suddenly screams like a cat… So I turned the volume down.

Please stop screaming, I'll do anything for you, just stop screaming.

Sometimes stuffs isn’t all that bad, looking at the good side, there’s Norio Wakamoto(Charles Zi Britannia) as Deus and Ishida Akira(Athrun Zala) as Akise Aru(another of my favourite character).  Also, VERY nice opening by Yousei Teikoku , 空想メソロギヰ . And coming from the director who always did key animation, the animation can be pretty fluent at a time but the studio isn’t all that good so expect less quality coming from it and enjoy the plot. Btw looking at the enormous number of staffs in the anime production, I shouldn’t complain much since I watched it for free.

The guitar sound is making me aroused.

As I already know the plot, maybe I expect a little high in quality here. But for those who doesn’t know, I think it’ll be best if they enjoy the plot twist.

Holy plot twist.

p/s : I also enjoyed the Mirai Nikki Inspired Album Vol.1 – Ingaritsu Noise. Lot’s of good hipster songs inside.

With character 'theme' songs.

What's the point of knowing everything when there's no one around to share it?

Well, I started off with guitar, and joined with people who I thought had the same interest as I am. Played many live show, jammed many times, just to know that I’m not compatible with their taste. And to proceed, I learned drum, since I don’t think I can find a drummer which will suit my taste of music. I already know how to play bass at this point, so if anyone need me to play bass which compatible with my taste, I have no problem to join them.

Most important thing for musician, you enjoy what you are playing.

Turns out everything I did was pointless, none of my friends replied. In the end I’m left alone, and continue being a drummer for my new band. They taste are very different from mine, but for the time being they really need me and they have the determination to play the music they like although the lack of skills and experiences. The least I can do is support them and push them forward until I’m no longer needed.

Skills, I don't need it. What I want is determination and passion to start something.

Maybe there’s no one out there that have similar music taste like I am, so looks like I made a really stupid choice believing that the day where I can jam mecha anime songs, shonen anime songs and male jrock band songs. End of rant.

Well, it’s good to know that you have a friend, but are they a friend in need? … Maybe I should stop there. Then again, I felt like many of my time and money wasted going out loitering where I can actually use my time and resource for self improvement… which is really my hobby. Hate to say that I’m not the thinking type, and sorry for not paying attention for anything that happened around the world but my life is short lived and to go through it is more important to me than paying attention to something I can only know but takes no action. So I’m more interested in learning skills compared to adding more and more heap of tottemo cool information in my brain. Curse me all you want, but if everyone is a thinker, who’s gonna do the freaking job?

While you are busy thinking about plans, she's already my waifu. Something like that.

It’s okay if people don’t know me that much, it’s okay if my friends didn’t appreciate what I ever did but at least I can be of help to anyone in need. Being useless in a situation sucks, so let’s just train myself during this short mid sem break and hopefully March is a better month and I’ll be a better man.

Ganbare... Ore...

Sweet friendship doesn't last forever as relation deepens.

Sadly, every happiness doesn’t last long. People wont stay friends forever like I intended them to. Some developed even a deeper feeling towards others and makes things really complicated. From there, everything sweet becomes bitter, everything beautiful is now a delusion, and everything gained now is lost. Though I’m not affected by this circumstances but watching it makes my tongue somewhat sour. I guess there’s an end to a sweet friendship and people need to make a serious decision sooner or later.

There’s also been a conflict with my best buddies, lately I’ve been too much of an asshole an keep screwing things up. And sorry I must reject some of your opinions that was imposed on me, too much busy with many things lately and I can’t keep up with too many people to interact to. Besides, I think it’s time for you guys to move on also.

For me? I’m a rockstar, need to stay away from any scandals and paparazzi. I’m only looking for CONNECTION, not to impress others, not to be claimed superior than others, not to share my daily life complains, but as a proof that I exist in a community.

Battle damaged orbital frame…

It’s just a small bump and scratches, but cost a total of rm300 to repair… and a week worth of parents’ nag. Don’t wanna talk about it much but it’s repaired now so I’m back on the road by this weekend.

All of a sudden I’m at Red Wok enjoying a nice meat and seafood on my ronery night, thanks to linkinstreet for that. Though I probably wouldn’t go there anymore, heck it’s really pricey even though I didn’t have to pay for it but the feeling of others paying my expensive meal is even bitter. I rather ate at a mamak stall with teh OO ais and double roti O at rm3. The next night my dad invited me to enjoy a nice yee mee sizzling with lotsa meat toppings… again… think I’ve eaten too much meat this time of the month. Played L4d2 with buncha guys later on.

Holy shit I startled Komori! WHAT WEAPON SHOULD I USE?

The cyber cafe facility is really horrible with the smokers and buggy games, but what choice do we have to play on a clear line without lag.  I sucked at shooting games unlike the rest of my playmates, so lagging will totally put me in the worst possible situation for the team. Okay, ronery day spent eating and gaming is kinda boring so lets get to the best part, KARAOKE!

After 3 long month I’ve waited for this moment, a karaoke session with proper environment at Yumekukan featuring JOM Project ( Ultimaweaponx, Yafex_shogoki and me ). Too bad the price wasn’t the same as before but heck, letting loose after 3 month worth of wait is priceless. To commemorate this session, I purposely selected as many JAM Project songs as I can remember to scream my lungs out. OMG my voice was horrible ( that’s why I want to be a drummer who didn’t have to sing ), luckily three people singing will cover most of the part. After 3 hours of singing, my GN-particle runs out and driving through NKVE during 5pm is a hell. Spent the night finishing L4d2 campaign with my buddies again. Thanks guys for a wonderful memories of this year’s ronery day.

This time, I put the 'teamwork' priority instead of leaving off everyone behind.

24 inch display with full HD resolution.

Sorry for the messy table but I don’t have a place to stuff all my belongings except my table. Using OSX sure is addicting at first due to it’s simplicity and attractive GUI. One comment after using it for a while… It’s really easy and simple for those nontechnical people who didn’t want to troubleshoot their OS much.

Back panel with firewire port, 4 usb port, 1 audio in, 1 audio out, all lined up nicely.

As I said, an old ver. with latest OS X.

First thing's first, GARAGEBAND! Comes with iLife 11

Imported some of my recent playlist here.

Installed important apps for the time being, lots of surfing need to be done.

The toppings of the cake, coverflow on Finder(similar to Explorer in Windows OS)

Expose, something that's more useful than Windows' Aero.

In the end, I’m sticking to my windows rig, why? Because of this.
