miko+Resurrection – Sorairo Days

Bricks were shat. (I used much, much more obscene language in my surprise tweet, really) I mean I’m always up for a Sorairo Days remix but when I heard the vocals, my jaw dropped. I mean this video was uploaded in August (around the time of the Albatrosicks review here on Loli Salad) so it’s nothing new. But I hadn’t even heard IOSYS had done an anime album! You can bet there will be a review of this album in the near future. It doesn’t sound great but it’s miko. MIKO. I’m actually reminded of the early Exit Trance stuff (which the new instalment should be out soon, right? I hope I’m not behind…) but that Sorairo Days was good. Meh. Exit Trance never had miko (or ARM for that matter, since he produced this remix)! So I’ll give this darned album a shot! Look forward to it~

EDIT: they have Katagiri Rekka doing a version of Tori no Uta? I think I foamed at the mouth a little. In a good way! Next you’ll be telling me REDALiCE helps out too!

グラサンねこ – When they sing vol.1

I’ve wanted this album for a long time. Someone on LJ hooked me up again. As always, LJ comes through. Here we have a doujin vocal album based on Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Umineko no Naku Koro ni. I actually figured I should write this later seeing as we have a whole bunch of Umineko related posts in a row but nobody minds right? I’m too excited to wait anyways.

Umineko Motion Graphic 5 info

So, as you might guess I am ecstatic. I just found out after briefly glancing at the list of all circles with tables at C76 when I saw ALTERNAIT. Well I did backflips. Something unsual this time too. Still Umineko related (although I was hoping for something original). I was under the impression, with many I suppose, that they would not release an album as they had released the EP4 album in May. This new song will cover all four eps as opposed to just one. The album itself will include the videos from the past motion graphics (and we can assume the songs as well). As usual, despite my love of the group and the song, I don’t have a great initial impression. The song and the video will be crazy awesome. Count on it.

Spice and Wolf II OP – Mitsu no Yoake

So I had planned to lay in bed until five thirty-ish until I somehow got this song in my head. Even though my Shuffle was on the desk beside me, it forced me to get out of bed just to listen to this song. No, the full isn’t out yet. Here’s hoping it doesn’t get the Erinyes treatment and sounds completely different. Tabi no Tochuu was especially great because it sounded like we expected.

At first, I didn’t like this song nowhere near as much as Natsumi Kiyoura’s Tabi no Tochuu, the original opening to Spice and Wolf. I might have been disappointed that Kiyoura wasn’t doing the opening again. It was the series you could associate  her with. As I caught up on Spice and Wolf II, after a couple weeks of no internet, the opening began to change before me. In constrast with Horo’s depressing breakdown? I hate to say it but Mitsu no Yoake holds much more emotion than Tabi no Tochuu. It reflects the new season perfectly. So far, while the economic action has been in swing for the last episode, there has been more attention on developing the characters. As you can guess, Horo and Lawrence’s relationship. Which the song and video reflects. From them dancing, in the festival or in their room to the end where they simply grab hands. Ahhh, sorry rambling.

The single for Mitsu no Yoake by Akino Arai comes out August 5th. If that is incorrect, please correct me. Unfortunately, I’ll probably be back at home and therefore away from interweb. If I am around I will post the song faster than you can say Horo.

Now if you excuse me, I’m going to see when the next episode comes out.

‘Celebration by Seira Kagami’ Review

Seira Kagami's 1st Album: Celebration

You don’t have to be a constant follower to know that I don’t review any other than doujin albums. There are some exceptions but this will be the first review of an official album or any such thing. Unless I’m forgetting a review somewhere…

This is Seira-sama’s first album. Her first full album I should say. She had a mini album containing the stuff she’s done for anime. So when I saw this was out I was very excited. Let’s hope she gets some more work soon, okay?

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: First Impressions

Umineko no Naku Koro ni

I’m a little late but since I originally didn’t want to do this I guess this is better than nothing. I guess I knew I’d do it but it won’t be something consistent. It comes out on Wed, doesn’t it? That doesn’t work well on my schedule so if I did try to write something- y’know what, I’ll just get on with it. If you are new with the anime and have not played the VN, mega spoilers within this post. You won’t be warned again. Kihihihi, said it in red! Said it in red- *beaten by Rosa*

Umineko Motion Graphic 4 Translation/EP Full Patch

Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Two sorta big Umineko posts here. I was supposed to review the other new (there were a few..) Exit Trance albums but I had to rage about the Umineko anime. So let’s do this before I rage here on LS, okay?

Someone over on livejournal translated the latest Umineko no Naku Koro ni Motion Graphic (the text/lines, not the song) and then added the notes into the video! I’d beware there’s some thinly masked spoilers. But if you’re already browsing Loli Salad you should be used to Umineko spoilers. I plan on creating a complete list of spoilers, plot twists and things you shouldn’t know before you watch the anime. But I’m very bitter about the anime. So. Yeah.

Episode Four has been fully translated by Witch-Hunt! I know I’m a bit late but I figure it’s worth sharing. You can find the patch over on Witch-Hunt’s site. I’m looking forward to playing myself! Here’s a link to Witch-Hunt’s site incase you (for some crazy) reason don’t have it. Comiket is right around the corner so WH gets a small break before EP5. Better get ready you guys! Great work and thanks from all Umineko fans!

Nico Nico Chorus

Lately, I’ve had an obsession with Nico Nico Chorus songs. I don’t know why exactly. The song that started this was that video for Yuuhi Saka video. Which is just beautiful and you cannot deny that. But since I’m in love with the stupid videos so much, I’ve decided to look at a few here.

Another Upcoming Exit Trance and TOUGE 2 Info

Delicious Bell Zepyhr

I’ve done this before when I get too excited. Remember? Well I read something that I just had to post. I would like this time to post that this is a pre-tracklist and is in no way final. As one of the tracks I mentioned before was not added onto the final album. Sorry about the confusion over that. Let’s hope we actually get this one, okay? But we’re not just talking about upcoming Exit Trance albums today. No no, we have another treat in store.

Where to start? Let’s start with the second ’season’ of Exit Trance’s Ecstasy. Maybe reporting ont his is a bad idea? I have a feeling the list stated over on Dancemania is going to change dramatically. The songs listed are from the anime of the eroge series rather than the eroge themselves so I’m a little confused. Regarldess the tracks so far are SHUFFLE’s ‘You’, Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de’s ‘Hizamazuku Made 5 Byo Dake!’, H2O’s ‘Katayoku no Icarus’, and Nanatsuiro*Drops‘ ‘Shining Star Bless’. But like I said this list will most likely change. Afterall, the ET crew has already got You under their belt in the anime series. But they did reuse one of the (or two?) songs from School Days in the first Ecstasy.

Next we’ll go onto Anime Trance: Best the Movie. Apparently we have a few repeats here. But that is okay! Because the track that inspired me to write this blurb up was that we’ll be getting a remix of Kara no Kyoukai’s Oblivious!! Now I’m sure we haven’t had this song in the Anime Trance before. So maybe we’ll have only a few repeats. But if we have forgive me. It must not have been a very good remix if I can’t even remember it. We got some tracks from the Shana and Gurren-Lagann movie too.  Oh, Rahxephon too. All repeats. This and Ecstacy 2 come out in two months so we’ll find out more in due time. If the list interests me, I’ll definitly keep you guys posted.

We have a possible new series from the Exit Tunes guys too. Stardom. So guess, what could it be? We have American movies taken care of. We have anime taken care of. Anime Movies. Commercials. Classical Music. Nico Nico hits. And so many more. So what are we missing? Doujin! I know right? Hahahaha. I wouldn’t really care because I don’t recognize most of the tracks. Except I went ‘Hooooray!’ when I saw Strawberry Generator by Albatrosicks is going to be Stardom! There is another IOSYS track but I don’t recognize it. And of course. Caramelldansen. Enough Exit Trance. Enough. This one, unlike Ecstacy and Best the Movie, comes out in May.

And let’s talk about another album I’m excited about! Super Anime Remix Touge 2. Feautring such tracks as  Danjo (Danjo Danjo~ *pumps arm*), Higurashi Matsuri’s ‘Complex Image’, Higurashi’s ‘Naraku no Hana’, Shana’s ‘Hishoku no Sora’, the theme from Miko Miko Nurse, the infamous Nursery Ryhme’s ‘true my heart’, Negima’s ‘1000% Sparking’, ‘Saikyo Pare Parade’ from the Haruhi game (I think), Idolmaster Xenoglossia’s ‘Binetsu S.O.S’ and the peice de resitance~ ‘Kurenai’ from Night motherloving Wizard. I never thought I’d live to see the day when Night Wizard, a proclaimed favourite, would be remixed. But the chances of getting this album? Slim. There is another anime trance series I want but can’t find. But for the sake of Night Wizard, I will buy this album. <3

Eden of the East OP Download

Okay, if any download ever got me in trouble it would be this one. So if there is any sign of trouble I’ll take this down. Anyways, I’ve fallen in love with Eden of the East. How can you not love it? The characters are great, the music is superb and the story is surpisingly interesting (if not a little reminicent of Kure-nai for me). I fell in love with the OP song and went through some great deal of trouble to find it.
