My thoughts on the new Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Tribute Album

27th January 2014

Dear Chibi,

In 2 days time, the new Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Tribute Album will be out in Japan and about a week ago they released a preview of the songs. You can check it out here.

1- “Moonlight Densetsu – Momoiro Clover Z
The vocals sound okay. I love the music, but I don’t really like Momoiro Clover Z. They will be singing the opening and closing themes to the new Sailor Moon anime coming out this year.

2- “HEART MOVING – Shoko Nakagawa
I wish Shoko Nakagawa sung the entire album. XD She has done some amazing Sailor Moon covers, including Moonlight Densetsu (sounds way better than Momoiro Clover Z’s version), Otome no Policy and Sailor Star Song. She’s great and can cover any anime song, really.

3- “Princess Moon– Haruka Fukuhara

4- “Otome no Policy” – Etsuko Yakushimaru
In my opinion, Otome no Policy is by far the worse cover in the album. Why? The song is supposed to be upbeat and full of energy, but in this version it feels like the artist is completely out of breath. Or something. It doesn’t capture the essence of the song at all. I don’t like what they did to the music either. Normally I wouldn’t mind this kind of voice, it’s really fitting for certain songs (like the Fruits Basket opening)~ but I feel like they just got this all wrong.

Evangelion: 1.11 and 2.22 Blu-Ray

16th June 2013

Dear Chibi,

I received Evangelion: 1.11 and 2.22 Blu-Ray in the mail about a week ago but haven’t had the chance to sit down and write about it until now :D

Let me start off by saying… I haven’t really watched Evangelion before. Well, I have a little bit back in my early high school days but that was so long ago and in-sequential that it didn’t make much sense XD Hopefully watching the movies this time around will be a more fulfilling experience. I want to know what the fuss is all about!

Evangelion: 1.11 You are (NOT) Alone and 2.22 You Can (NOT) Advance

The two came in a very well packaged box. I had a pleasant time un-boxing it and I loooove the look of these. The plain orange and red on the slip covers work well. Since these were part of a series/collection, I lined them up to see how they’d looked together:

Inuyasha Movie 1: Affections Touching Across Time (Thoughts)

19th May 2013

Dear Chibi,

Last night I finally got the chance to sit down and watch 1 of the 4 movies included in the Inuyasha Movie Collection. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Inuyasha, so I looked forward to viewing the movie with a fresh mindset. The first movie is titled “Affections Touching Across Time” which refers to the romantic relationship and feelings between Inuyasha and Kagome. Now if you ship this pairing, you’ll love this movie. There’s plenty of action and humor to entertain, but I personally found the romantic aspect the most appealing and satisfying.

Chibiusa’s Time Key!

16th February 2013

Dear Chibi,

Look what finally arrived in the mail~ Chibiusa’s Time Key! :D

Chibiusa's Time Key by Kumacrafts

Isn’t that cute? I was really happy with the Crisis Moon Compact Necklace I bought from Kumacrafts a few months ago and when the ‘Time Key’ popped up I knew I had to get it! To be honest, I would have liked it better if the key itself was a bit smaller (to match the size of the actual time key)~ it’s kinda massive and looks bigger than my Crisis Moon Compact ^^; On the other hand, Kaz ordered Sailor Mercury’s Star Henshin Wand, and it’s soo adorable because it’s so small XD! Great detail on that one too :3

Not long after I ordered these, Kumacrafts announced a new Star Locket necklace is in the making, and OMG its pretty. She’s gonna make me broke, halp… ;_;

For now, I think I’ll just go and travel to the future, teehee~

 

Crisis Moon Compact Necklace :3

7th November 2012

Dear Chibi,

Yaaay! After waiting for about a month, I finally received my very own Crisis Moon Compact necklace created by the talented KumaCrafts! This is based on Sailor Moon’s Super S henshin compact from the 4th season. It’s sooo adorable and pretty and shiny! I’m really happy with it.

Now I’m having second thoughts about wearing it… what if I accidentally damage it? D: Guess we’ll see ^^;
