Nana Mizuki – Discotheque

kimjim — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 09:54:06 +0000

The is the opening song to the 2nd season of the “panty flashing” anime, Rosario + Vampire Capu2, well it’s a nice anime with a decent amount of fanservice, basically, every episode, you will get to see a number of panty shots, haha.

So if you the type of person who do not like to watch fan service anime, avoid this anime, for me, I think I watch it because Nana Mizuki sang the opening song, haha, and it’s a pretty catchy song only after you listen to it a few time. The PV for this song is very well done, the dance fit into the song pretty smoothly.

Here is the PV:

Flow – World End

kimjim — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:06:28 +0000

This is the PV for the second opening song for the very popular Code Geass R2, I am sure, this is one of the few must watch anime for any mecha fans, they have nice mechas and a very good story, but the story will be ending pretty soon.

Song is sang by Flow, and here is the PV for it.

Romanji version:

Sekai no owari de umareta hikari ima kaze no naka

Kireigoto dake ja ikirenai
Yasashisa dake ja iyasenai

Ubawareta no wa nan da?
Kawaranai sekai de
Kikoete kita no wananda?
Shikisai no uta

Everything is bright

Kudakechitta yume o asu no hate ni hibikaseru you ni
Sekai no owari de umareta hikari bokura hitotsu ni
Ima kaze no naka

Taningoto mitai ni waraenai
Samishisa dake ja nuguenai

Kachitotta mono wananda?
Arasoi no hateni
Kikoete kita no wananda?
Kanashiki sakebi

Everything is crying

Kudakechitta yume o asu no hateni hibikaseru you ni
Sekai no owari de umareta hikari bokura hitotsu ni
Ima kaze no naka

Dare mo nakasenaide kaere mitasu kokoro ni
Mou nani mo kamo koete

Everything is bright

Ano hi mita sora o negai no saki e todokaseru you ni
Sekai no hajimari souzou no asani bokura masshiroi
Ima kaze ni naru

fripSide – Flower of Bravery

kimjim — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:30:30 +0000

This is the opening song to one of the newer series, Koihime Musou, it’s an anime adapted from the chinese classic, The Romance of the Three Kingdom, I guess this is the second anime that is linked to The Romance of the Three Kingdom, with Ikkitousen being the first.

The story of Koihime Musou like Ikkitousen isn’t really linked to the chinese classic, rather, only the name of the great warriors from the chinese classic are used. Being a guy I think this anime is rather watchable since it feature a lot of bishojo, hehe

Here is the PV to the opening song of this anime by fripSide.

Romanji version:

Dareka ni sasagu inochi nara
jibun no kyouka imo koete
Ima naraba koko de nara tsuyosa ni kawari

Wasuretai keshiki ga ari wasuretai kioku mo aru
Uzu no you na mayoi o tatezu ni

Kaze no you ni yuurei na ken no mai
Umare izuru tenmei wa kono te ni

Shinjitsu dake o oimotome kizukeba soko ni kimi ga ita
Tokubetsu na sonzai wa itsuka kizuna ni kawaru
Kioku no sumi ni utsurikomu kirihanasenai kanashimi mo
Ima naraba koko de nara tsuyosa ni kawari

Dareka ni sasagu inochi nara jibun no kyoukai mo koete

Tada sore o mune ni hime masshiro na mama

It’s pretty much fun as I am happily taking lot of pics of lot of nice cosplayers with their very nicely done costume, it’s fun and tiring This cosfest is pretty good for me taken a total of 1000++ photos and here is some of the pictures that I taken …

Day 1 and Day 2

UVERworld – Gekidou

kimjim — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:37:38 +0000

This is the opening song to one of the ongoing series, D.Gray-Man, it’s a rather popular series, I am sure it’s popularity isn’t any less than the all time famous anime such as Naruto and Bleach, not to mention that the episode numbers of D.Gray-Man is catching up to Naruto and Bleach, but I got the feeling the D.Gray-Man series ending soon, but maybe it’s just me, hehe

Here is the PV, sang by UVERworld, I am sure most people would have heard of them since they sang the opening song for the anime, Bleach (D-tecnolife) and Blood+ (Colors of the Heart)

Romanji version:

T.M.Revolution – Resonance

kimjim — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 08:15:12 +0000

This is the opening song to one of the new Shounen anime for the 2008 Spring release called Soul Eater, it’s about a Shinigami Academy training Weapon Meister(*normal looking kids, your average Shounen anime plot, hehe*) to control Weapon(*kids that can be transform into weapon*) that will be use to kill Kishin(*corrupted souls that are feeding on the soul of other people*)

This is a pretty enjoyable action packed shounen anime and if you had the chance to watch Shaman King before, you will notice the similarity between this 2 anime, probably because it’s from the same author/studio but I am not sure if that is the case, hehe

The song is sang by T.M. Revolution, it’s great, T.M.Revolution’s song is always so upbeat, which is why I kind of like their songs(*anime related*) pretty much and I noticed the PV uses previous PVs of T.M.Revolution, since I saw some familiar scene that I have saw in their previous PVs, hehe
Here is the PV of this anime.

Romanji version:

tsuna ida tamashi no higa mune wo sasu nara
kotoba yori motto tsuyo ii hibiki ga ima kikoeru ka

rokuni me mo awasazu unmei ni made karandeku
yukisaki moro kabutteru kuenai yoru wo hashire

This is the PV of the anime, Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn, it’s the fourth opening to this anime, I actually started watching the first few eps a few months ago but stopped for a while before I actually finish watching all the outstanding episodes till the recent released last weekend, talk about speed, hehe.

Basically this anime is about a boy called, Tsuna, who is picked to become the next boss of a mafia organisation called, Vongola, therefore the Vongola organisation sent a Kateikyoushi (family tutor) to guide him to his way to become the next mafia boss of Vongola. Many of the episodes are pretty funny and enjoyable, I would recommend it if you are into Shounen anime like Bleach.

And here is the PV of this anime.

Romanji version:

Veltpunch – Crawl

kimjim — Tue, 27 May 2008 08:33:56 +0000

Well, and here is a new PV of the opening song to the anime Nabari no Ou, it’s an anime about ninja world aka Nabari (a hidden world that normal society do not know) and also a boy that hold some high level ninja skill/secret within his body and everyone (in the ninja world) wants to gain access to it, to be honest, after a couple of episodes, the story is progressing pretty smoothly, but there is not much action for an anime that have ninjas, well… hopefully we will see more action soon, hehe

Anyway here is the PV, the music is pretty good and this is the first time I heard of this group call, Veltpunch, maybe we will hear more great anime songs from them soon, hehe

Romanji version:

Pigstar – Kimi=Hana

Here is another PV from another anime, Junjou Romantica, according to the opening animation and also from people whom have watch it, it’s an anime about yaoi love, so I am sure it’s not an anime that people who are straight/normal like me would want to watch.

Speaking of yaoi anime, my first encounter of such kind of anime is probably, Gravitation, it’s an anime about a rock band but there is also yaoi love in it. Overall it’s consider a pretty funny anime with great music, so my overall first impression of yaoi anime is considered decent, hehe
I was also told, Junjou Romantica, is pretty funny too, so I will watch it when I find the time to, at least watch the first 2 episode before deciding if I can continue watching it or not.

Wish me luck as I venture into the world of yaoi anime, haha.
The PV to this anime is pretty good and here is the PV of Junjou Romantica.

Romanji version:

This season seem like more and more anime openings have a PV version of the song, I feel this is a good thing, since I kind of like watching PV other than just the animated version of the anime opening song, to compare the difference and to see the actual singer singing that song, hehe

This is the PV to the anime, Itazura na Kiss, this is a romance/comedy anime and there is actual/live JDrama and Taiwanese Drama version of this anime, the chinese title of this anime is 恶做剧之吻
If you google a bit I am sure you will find some of the JDrama or Taiwanese drama, hehe

Anyway here is the PV to the opening song of the anime, Itazura na Kiss.

Romanji version:
