School Days ending theme from Kanako Itou. Love it. Don’t think I’ll be typing out any other tracks from this album (the only other one I like is from Haruko Momoi, but since it’s a remix I think the lyrics are available). If you spot any errors, do let me know - thanks. There’s more after the jump~

lol. Through moonphase.

The Higurashi Kai OP lyrics. Have to say I’m pretty impressed with the song - I’ve come from not liking the chorus (first Higurashi Kai PV with it) through loving the verse & starting to like the chorus (TV-size) to loving the full version (single). xD If you spot errors do point them out, thanks. There’s more after the jump~

The wonderful Higurashi Kai ED lyrics. Fabulous track as expected from bermei.inazawa. If you spot errors do point them out, thanks. There’s more after the jump~

So it seems according to moonphase. 0_0

Promo for the Yuki Kajiura scored 3-part documentary (August 19, 26 and 27 on NHK). I hope there’s an OST coming…

In other news, Lip-Aura’s CD tracklisting was revealed (use the calendar for post links). I also added 2 additional items to my C72 listing.

An original fantasy vocal album by Girl Disease. This is the first time I hear of this formation, but since I liked the samples on the official site for this release, I’m mentioning it. Vocals by Lico & Mitsuki. :)

I hope the full tracks have the story dialogue mixed better than the samples, though.

Since I watched this raw in rather ugly webrip quality and didn’t understand a thing, I’ll keep this short.

The good things: the RED GARDEN style, atmosphere and music are definitely back & still working. The bad thing is GONTZO introduced really ugly CG mechas, even if it’s only for 2 sequences or something.

The story I can’t really comment on (probably sucks, lol), but the biggest surprise to me in this 45 minutes show is that Kate remembers awakening in the final scenes of RED GARDEN. I was sure this would be an unrelated spin-off like My-Otome was to My-HiME so this flashback is totally messing with my head - sequel? spin off? alternate universe? Why are all the other characters alive if it’s a sequel? Why different names? I really don’t know from watching raw so feel free to fill me in. I’ll definitely be watching again when subs appear, heh. :)

P.S. I hope there’s a RED GARDEN/DEAD GIRLS OST coming soon….

Yea, I’m late with this, since I don’t really care for the When they cry… visual NOVELS. I finally looked it up though and immediately recognized Akiko Shikata on the song which warrants a mention here, hehe. ^^

The song is called (drumroll) うみねこのなく頃に (Umineko no Naku Koro ni). ^^ Watch the video here. Need a CD announcement. ;)
