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.

sailormoon-track

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.

Final Fantasy XIV

29th September 2013

Dear Chibi,

Recently cBsM got me FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn as a gift, so I’ve been playing this over the last week or so (yay for 30 day free subscription!).  It’s my first MMORPG so the concept is pretty new to me. I also had a difficult time learning how to move my character around but luckily I’m getting the hang of it!  So far it’s been quite enjoyable~ but I’m mostly excited about the battles rather than the actual story/plot ^^” The visuals are pretty amazing and I love the battle music!

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.

[cBsM] hit Masters League in 4v4

7th April 2013

Dear Chibi,

Last night my Starcraft 2 clan finally hit masters league in 4v4! This is the first time we’ve achieved this as a group so we’re pretty happy about it :D Now that we’ve reached the highest league on SEA, we’ve migrated to the Korean/Taiwanese server for more challenges. Surprisingly, there’s a lot less lag playing over there than on AUS/NZ  @_@. Not that I’m complaining XD
