Natsume Yuujinchou Shi has been airing for a while still with that soft-hearted and sympathetic Natsume who tries to save every ant in the universe. I adore this anime, all four seasons, including its theme songs. Today through this short post I want you to listen to “Ima, Konotoki” by Hiiragi. “Ima, Konotoki” means “Now, [...]
A year has passed since the release of Future Kiss, following Touch Me! and One Life, which all progressively mark the style changes Kuraki Mai has been going through. From a lively and young R&B girl to a mature and magnificent woman, Kuraki Mai’s transition to maturity is being witnessed from album to album. Not [...]
Hello there, it’s me Dovizu again back from a nice and busy weekend. Along with my satisfied smile from oversleeping, I brought two new singles from MONKEY MAJIK and Horie Yui for you. Interestingly, MONKEY MAJIK has a strong connection to North America. Canadian Vocal Marynard Plant moved to Japan in 1997 to teach English [...]
Takahashi Yuu has been a very unique figure and one of the artists that I pay extra attention to when browsing through a list of new releases. Sotsugyou (Graduation) was released in January and has touched me personally. The theme of this song, of course, is about graduation. “Some vivid thoughts flow out in this [...]
Every once a while there’s a single released that resonates in the abysses of my heart, a single so beautiful that I believe our readers will definitely appreciate it. Today, I am bringing you Fukui Mai’s Ikutabi Sakura. Fuikui Mai isn’t very popular at the first glance, but she definitely belongs to the industry where [...]
To call myself a professional otaku is a lie. I’m nowhere near that, but I do love anime music for one simple reason: the energetic beats. The up-and-downs, the sentimental, supernatural or generically encouraging lyrics, all are responsible for my inevitable fall for anime music. To be even more otakuish, I get all worked up [...]
Have you ever seen Detective Conan/Case Closed before? That long-run series now airing episode 600 something, featuring a cool, famous high school detective who maintained his victimized kid form throughout the story. Alone with lively actions, suspending dialogues and all the typical mystery goodness, we have this soft blend of bitterness and romance, surrounding each [...]
Have you searched for someone, Who you might not even vaguely know? Have you longed for someone, Who in your life did only come and go? I have. And I still do. To some extent, everyone does. That is the power of Landscape, a new single by Every Little Thing. The lyrics revolve around the [...]

Your Best Friend – Instrumental I’ve been waiting for so long, finally, one of my favorite singer – Kuraki Mai – has released leaked her newest single: Your Best Friend.

“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?”-Frederich Nietzsche Monsters come in a vast multitude of forms and varieties. From the serpent-haired Gorgon Medusa to the reanimated monstrosity known as Frankenstein’s Monster; monsters are a staple [...]
I apologize for the lateness of the review (a seemingly more common thing nowadays, huh? Oh well), for I have been wrapped up in my studies. I wish they were studies on the occult, however. That would be much more fascinating than boring ol’ regular school. It’s possibly more life-threatening, assuming this stuff was real, [...]
“A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and en-kindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.” -George Jean Nathan Love is a truly unique and fascinating emotion. Authors have written about its power, singers have written [...]
“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” –John Lennon “Growing up” is an essential and unavoidable aspect of every human being’s life. We often think maturity is measured in the same way age is measured; a numerical set of years. However, children can grow up surprisingly fast even at a young age when they are [...]
Hmph. This mystery is starting to bore me. Whether or not this show is any good at all is of no concern to me. Accessing my wellspring of knowledge, the fragments of Chaos all come together to form…an opinion on an anime series. That’s pretty anticlimactic. Gosick Episodes: 24 Originally aired: 27 December 2010 – [...]
