Macross Frontier OST: Nyan Furo

This is the OST that everyone is talking about. Nyan Furo is the title for the original soundtrack for the highly acclaimed anime, Macross Frontier. Trust my words, this anime OST is the absolute best OST album ever. And I thought Kawai Kenji did well for Seirei no Moribito OSTs. Behind this brilliant music works is the ever fantastic Kanno Youko. Of course, who doesn’t know the industry’s fore-figure, Kanno Youko who stood along side with the likes of Kawai Kenji, Iwasaki Taku, and Joe Hisaishi. However I personally love Kanno’s composing style, which goes for the whole length of orchestral ranges and all the way to jazz - which I enjoy a lot, by the way. Indeed, her composition style is very versatile, making her one of the best anime composers of all time.

Word of the Voice [PV] by FLOW

The song is just amazing. It’s good, very good. And I have really wished that this song was made for Code Geass R2 instead. But I guess it’s a fair thing to do as well. Otherwise Code Geass would only become a lot better. Why not? If the OP for their first season, which is COLORS by FLOW took top honours in many anime awards in Japan. One of the comments of my previous post on Shiawase Neiro suggested (or rather confirmed) that the second OP will be by FLOW once again with the title WORLD END. But heck, it is confirmed! And whether you’ll be surprised by this or not, even the second ED is another comeback by ALI PROJECT. Odd? I don’t think so.

Before we get all excited for the highly anticipated OP by FLOW, let’s get to their latest single, WORD OF THE VOICE which was also used as OP for Persona -Trinity Soul-. As I described earlier, the song is amazing. The PV may be a tad too odd, even if to compare with the anime Persona, I’d say it’s still good. But then again, what’s up with the green paint… and that topless guy?

Fret not. This song is also available for download on this blog. Now,  you can enjoy this song on your iPod (or maybe your iPhone?). And no, I’m not gimmicking that Apple guy *glares at Steve*

p/s: still getting over the iPhone 3G fever…

Shiawase Neiro [PV] by Orange Range

Orange Range’s latest single, Shiawase Neiro, had just been released. And yes, it’s a song from Code Geass R2 for its ending song. This PV is typical of any other Japanese PV. The featured story is about the separation of a couple which ended with a reunion. Isn’t it typical? Anyway, it is a song about happiness. No harm done there. Nonetheless, I do not like this song as much as O2. Even after said that, both songs are not of my liking. I really wish Flow do the song for Code Geass R2 next time around because they sure did well for Persona ~trinity soul~ with their song, Word of the Voice. Maybe I should post that up later?

The song is not yet available for download from this blog. I’ll put up the link as soon as I get the song.

A Chinese Odyssey II - Cinderella - Only You (Cantonese)

I just have to post this. It’s too funny!

O2 [PV] by ORANGE RANGE

The PV for Code Geass R2 OP song, O2 by Orange Range had been released two weeks ago. Yes, I am quite late on this. Nonetheless, here’s the PV and also some of my thoughts about the PV. ORANGE RANGE is always quirky in many of their PV and O2 is no exception. It is interesting that they bring in the medieval Japan setting to the PV and what is even more interesting is how they portray themselves to possess special powers. Not that I want to compare it with Code Geass but one of them did use a power similar to Rollo’s, which is to stop people’s movement. Have a good laugh watching this PV.

You can also download the song here. Also included in this post is VELTPUNCH’s Crawl and Elisa’s Hikari from the anime Nabari no Ou. Cheers!
