A little less busy than last week, but plenty of high-profile Jpop releases and only a handful of anime-related CDs.

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.

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.

Another barrage of Lucky Star image CDs. At least the end is in sight, with only two more to go. Shiraishi Minoru’s ending theme collection is due in two weeks (10th October) but only has four full tracks (Ore no Wasuremono, Shikaida no Uta, Kaorin no Theme and Koi no Minorun Densetsu) with the TV versions of the other 7 songs.

…..I guess I was wrong about there not likely being a new Nanoha StrikerS opening, since Mizuki Nana’s already announced it on her website. MASSIVE WONDERS it’s called, lyrics by Nana-chan as usual and composition & arrangement by Yabuki Toshiro, who actually co-wrote and produced quite a lot of her earlier material (POWER GATE etc) but seemed to have been dropped in favour of the Elements Garden team (Agematsu Noriyasu, Fujita Junpei & Fujima Hitoshi) for HYBRID UNIVERSE. The song title’s are getting more and more bombastic, I wonder what the next one will be called…. maybe LIGHT FANTASTIC or AWE-INSPIRING MAJESTY or something random like that…. 22nd August’s the release date so mark ye calendars….

Haven’t been listening to much music apart from Uninstall this week. Been catching up on some older anime like Blue Gender, Mahou Tsukai Tai and Rayearth instead – & I’ve dropped a couple of series from my spring anime watch list to make room for them + Denno Coil (which is absolutely fantastic). Also the summer shows will be here in a few weeks’ time, so bye-bye Nagasarete Airantou, Kamichama Karin, Nanoha StrikerS, Lucky Star & Romeo X Juliet.
