Music Review (Short)


Album: Kagamine Rin/Len Cover Album
Artist:  Shimoda Asami
Released on June 10, 2009

This album is one in a beginning for computer engineered vocal music.  Kagamine Rin and Len are Vocaloid 2, because they were the second androids singers to be created in Japan.  Within the album, the song, Kororo, this means heart and soul in English translation.  In later terms, we see that it influence many of young kids to at least teenagers. In a comparison to other cd and genre, Asami did many off hand music for some anime series. She mostly focuses on the J-Pop, but still keeps her mind on sooth and calming in her voice. Shimoda Asami is a great over vocal singer for being someone at a decent age. Some specific great songs, which are not from the album. The song named, “Ame wo Tsure Yuke”, which the theme of the song is Bringing the Rain in English translation. The music and lyrics were done by Hadono-P. A must song that needs to be heard is Yumezakura, having a theme of Cherry blossom of dream. Most people who have heard the song says, “You most listen to this song, it gives you a warm and calming mood.”

Short Advice!

Today and later on the weeks, ill be bringing you a short review on " Still Doll", which was performed by Kanon Wakeshima. The article will include finds of the music, so wish me luck!

Music Feature!!


  Ah, the glory in music and the positive movement of its melodies! The world is changing from the old music to newer and more international music. We all know that sounds and beat make up music in the popular music, but that’s not what I am here to talk about with you. What I am mostly talking about today is fans, which just love anime and listen’s to music from different influence.
   In the glories American states, many people ignore Japanese music; but if we look on our, so helpful internet, we find that people are enjoying Japanese influence.  Page from the TinierMe website says, Music by the group, Vanilla Mood, an all girl-band that plays with classical music instruments.  
   In most recent releases that come from Japan. A thought came to mind. ANIME, Yes! I am talking about the greatness of all Japanese influence. Anime has a great influence to most Americans with an all different cultural values. The most impact the influence was music itself came with new feeling.
   Why does “Anime” have to do with influence and music? Well to answer that question, we all know only of American cartoons. So is there any difference to how the opening and ending credits always have a, “Short music length about a minute long!” In almost all Shows that come from Japan, always have calming and soothing music. Even thought, nowadays a lot of J-pop (Japanese pop music) are used in a lot anime series.
 When the 21st century came, many countries started to charge their influence to the world. Japan was entering a new influence from music to technology. Japanese pop music? You are asking what that is. It is just pop music that is spoken in Japanese. Not to make anyone confused!   Tempester from the TinierMe website comments, FLCL has loads of insert song, but personally I don’t like them. FLCL is an anime series that has six episodes. What a very short series! FLCL stand for Fooly Cooly and is well known from the late night show, Adult Swim.  The FLCL show has a lot of Japanese Pop Music, from the beginning to the end.
   Blues Drive Monster to Ride on Shooting Star are good examples of rush and techno music. The band that plays the songs is known as The Pillows. The Pillows is one of the Japanese influence to the world and showed people that music can be more influences to others.
