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.
Anime Music Pt.3 - My 10 Favourite Seiyuu Singers
…..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.
A Few Notes….
-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.
