It’s a busy week, sigh. And I don’t think I’ve covered even 50% of what I wanted to…..

Another slow week – probably the calm before the storm as next week sees an avalanche of releases, particularly from the anisong side.

…..or should that be singing seiyuu? Whatever.

This is my own top 10 – so it’s obviously biased. It’s based on seiyuu whose songs I like listening to and not necessarily the ten technically best vocalists around. Cos if it was, the list might be completely different.

Forgive me if I’m a little out of whack this week as I try to balance listening to three albums I’ve been eagerly anticipating; Spitz’s Sazanami CD, Radiohead’s In Rainbows (Yes, I paid for it. And yes, I paid more than 1p) and Shiraishi Minoru’s Lucky Star ending theme collection. Odd mix perhaps, but variety is after all, the spice of life.

-I’d like to blog Kawaii!JeNny, but nobody in their right mind is going to do raws for this so off to Niconico we go. It’s a real riot though, and one of the best ways to waste 15 minutes ^^; Momoi makes a stupidly funny villain along with her stupid Nazipedobear-with-Kansai-accent sidekicks and Nogawa Sakura is saccharine sweet as our spastic udon-loving heroine Jenny. I must confess though – I love the ending song High Energy by Momoi & Nogawa, it’s suitably cheesy with well… a lot of energy.

-TWIJ on hiatus this week, I’ve been busy watching new anime and have had no time to listen to music.

-Verdicts on stuff I watched so far:
Success: Sketchbook, BAMBOO BLADE, Suteki Tantei Labyrinth
Hung Jury: BLUE DROP, Mokke, D.C.II
Death Sentence: Myself;Yourself

-Kaneda Tomoko is back in annoying squealing mode for My;You after her tolerable turn in sola. And I can’t stand it -_- though the ‘Stick your fingers in your ears!’ bit did amuse me. It may be cute if she’s voicing somebody like Chiyo-chan or even Marie (the alien thing in the Onegai series) but when it comes from a teenage girl…………

-Banner change, I was getting bored of seeing Aria-shachou up there. Still keeping with the ARIA theme though with a scan from my Alpha artbook. I’m pretty excited that a third season (ARIA The ORIGINATION) is in the works, but I hope that they kill off Cait Sith cos those episodes were oh so boring.

-The post I was doing on top 10 seiyuu singers is almost there, to be shortly followed by a belated Top xx Anime Songs of All-time feature. I’m also still working on a guide to anime games in Japanese.
