Moving right along, next up we have the themes for the first two albums of the UtaPri "Theatre Shining" series, which I assume is kinda like a followup to the original "Gekidan Shining" albums from late 2013 - early 2014. In other words, we're basically mixing up our usual groupings for the sake of theater performance! If I recall correctly, the " ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, everyone! Well, considering this album came out several months ago and 「→REDRUM←」 is giving me a metaphorical aneurysm, it's about time I do some more UtaPri! Broccoli released a "Shining All Star CD2" at the end of September 2015. If you remember, the original "Shining All Star CD" came out in late 2012 and featured the very first ( Read more... )

Sorry for the wait! Here's the latest UtaPri Revolutions song, "GOLDEN☆STAR"--the insert song from episode 2~ The song was released on the bonus CD from the first volume of the anime DVD/Blu-ray.

Well, clearly I underestimated how long this bout of photoshopping would take me (because I clearly didn't learn my lesson from my Castanic of the same parameters or my redrawing of my Mystery Dungeon Charmander gijinka as a Charizard with armor), because I'm nowhere close to done! So I figured it was time for a break. So here's the fourth and ( Read more... )

Well, I hope I haven't gotten your hopes up just because I've been posting almost every day for the last 3-4 weeks straight. But the last couple of days, I've been working on some romanizing instead of translating, and most of the time, that involved attempting to type up the kanji from printed text I can't just highlight and copy+paste. So, for ( Read more... )

Well, that didn't take long~ Here's "MASQUERADE MIRAGE," the first of three new "Gekidan Shining" Theatrical drama unit CDs-of-sorts. This new series of CDs seem to take after the SHUFFLE unit CDs by mixing up the groups of characters for each. And if the title weren't enough of a giveaway, this first album is masquerade-themed and features Reiji, ( Read more... )
