Animelo Summer Live 2011 -rainbow- Theme Song

The album, the poster and a random rock.
The Animelo Summer Live 2011 -rainbow- Theme Song CD (+DVD with music clip and making of) was released a couple of days ago and of course I had preordered myself a copy. As a pleasant surprise a free poster came along with it. Hooray!

Nana Live @ Tokyo Dome for the First Time!

So I was originally planning on writing about Final Fantasy Type-0 this time. This plan was overridden yesterday when I saw the new trailer for Persona 4 The Animation, which got me excited like a little kid. And now the plan has changed yet again, and I shall instead be writing about..... Nana, because Nana > everything.

So who was honestly surprised by that turn of events?
I think no one.

「純潔パラドックス」 PV

I was threatening in my previous entry that I'd write about this next, so here it is!

So yesterday morning I managed to find the PV for Junketsu Paradox to my great delight. I had no idea it had actually come out already, so it was a really nice surprise to start my day with. (^-^) Later on I even stumbled upon the second song of the upcoming single, 7COLORS - how lucky is that?! If you want to give it a listen you can do so [from here]. I probably won't write about it before the single actually comes out, not long till that now anyway!

Top 20 Mizuki Nana songs *Updated 2011/09/12*

It's here finally! My top 20 Nana song list, done to commemorate my 77th entry in this blog! So now you know why I kept stalling this... ;) I have to say I've changed the order of these songs like a million times during the process of coming up with it, so most likely the exact order will keep on being alive and changing even now. xD

Enjoy the list and look forward to my entry on the Junketsu Paradox PV next!

今日は。。。

So time for some random stuff for a change.... and some stalling concerning my song list yet again. Today has been quite an eventful day, so I figured it deserved an entry.

Top 10 Mizuki Nana Songs I Want to Learn on the Violin *Updated 2012/02/28*

So since my Arfu loves it when I stall the revealing of my Top 20 Nana song list, I shall stall yet again. (^o^)/

I went to buy myself an electronic violin today and I was really surprised at how much they sounded like a normal violin. I was expecting something... else. Obviously. xD I found a really lovely one that I bought. It looks so cool and it's red. (^-^) So now I am really stoked about finally having a good quality violin again and I am actually very excited to start relearning to play. So considering how that was the highlight of my day, I felt making a top 10 list of the Nana songs I eventually want to learn how to play was a very appropriate thing to do.

So enjoy~!

7月7日! + seven pieces~NANA MIZUKI LIVE JOURNEY 2011 side-B~ o(^-^)o

So originally I wasn't planning on doing anything special today (hard to believe isn't it? But I swear it's the truth!), but yesterday when I was eating pancakes (my mom tries to fatten me up every time I stay at home xD) in my blissful ignorance my mom walked into the kitchen and casually asked "So how are you going to celebrate tomorrow?" and at first I was wondering what she was going on about until I realized what was special about that day haha. I wasn't expecting her to be so in tune with my obsession with sevens. xD Bless her. So after that I of course had to come up with some ways to celebrate the 7th of the 7th, since hell, even my mom was expecting it!

Gotou Yuuko @ Desucon 2011

I've been promising this for a long time haven't I? Here it is, rejoice!

First of all, I would like to thank Gotou Yuuko-san for taking the trouble of coming all the way to Finland to tell about her career to us Finnish anime fans. Though it really disappointed me how Finnish con-ners seem to not appreciate such a great opportunity, as listening to an actual seiyuu, as much as they should considering how empty the Sibelius hall was during her session (and frankly a lot of the people that were there, were behaving like retards -_-). Really a shame considering how packed it was for the AMV-competition and let's face it - you don't learn anything interesting there! Anyway, for it's worth listening to Gotou-san was definitely the most worthwhile thing to me that weekend.

Oh and btw, if you have no idea who Gotou Yuuko-san is (shame on you!) here you can find a list of her anime roles: [click for list]. Most people probably know her mainly for the role of Mikuru Asahina in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Thoughts on 「純潔パラドックス」

ZOMG I LIED AGAIN. No Gotou Yuuko this time either (Forgive me Gotou-san, I will honor you soon! (;_・)), since I heard Junketsu Paradox thanks to it being aired on smile-gang and I just cannot resist writing about a new Nana song.

So yes, Nana's new song which is used as the ED of Blood-C, Junketsu Paradox, was heard in full on smile-gang last night. The name, like she's been explaining in LIVE JOURNEY MCs, means pure-hearted paradox. Sadly I cannot make much out of the lyrics at the moment with them not available anywhere yet (ごめんなさい、I need to better my Japanese (;_・)), but judging by the atmosphere the song creates it revolves around urgency and desperation - well, a paradox obviously. xD
