Weekly Roundup

Jun 09, 2010 03:23

Where the heck did May go? Vanished in a halcyon cloud of memories, instead I have to contend with UK heatwaves and thunderstorms in equal measure. Worst of all, I can't think of a snappy intro paragraph to my post ( Read more... )

Shuumatsu ga Yatte Kuru! can also translates to "The (world's) End is Here!". The "world's end" theme will fit in the rest of the sasakure.UK CDs this song have appeared in, but the PV suggest otherwise. Your call on what the title really means.

I was just about to say. |D

I was wondering about that. I first heard the song on the album and saw the translation as "The End is Here!" but then my Japanese-111-taught brain was like "but that's weekend isn't it? I don't understaaaaannnddd!!!"

I'm going to assume it's weekend out of album context (and in the PV) and worldend in context of the album, perhaps?

(I love the album ALOT btw)

asamidori June 9 2010, 04:44:54 UTC

Both words are used in the PV so it really can go both ways. :o

Which CD by the way. If you haven't already go for Rarara Shuumatsuron. too. |D (Even though most of the stuffs are already in Vocaloid wa Shuumatsu(ry.)

Also I am disappointed at the lack of BitCrushe in this post. :(

I think I'm prepared to break something too if that Meiko song doesn't get into the rankings next time. That song's too awesome not to get a spot in the top 30.

The sheer weirdness is actually the reason I like cosMo's newest song. The part where all 7 voices sing together is... manic, I guess.

OH YEAH THE BOYBAND'S HERE-...ahem. I guess I was grinning too hard all along the videos to notice the flaws you mentioned. But then, maybe my ears just suck that much.

Wait, that's a Machige track? Couldn't have guessed it from the thumbnail. But it's not like he haven't made non-scary songs before anyway...

OMG Len why so badass. Totally loving that track.

I normally avoid Sweet songs like whoa, but I just had to click on Virtual Love... and it was actually better than I expected. For once, Sweet doesn't grate on my ears.

oftendistracted June 9 2010, 08:41:10 UTC

I'm maybe being a little overly-critical of the boyband one, but either way it's pretty fantastic.

I tend to be wary of atonal or stuff that's too manic - for the longest time I didn't really like kous, for instance, especially some of his works circa a year or so ago. As he's mellowed down I've gotten back into it. Even the weirder parts of Rampage can make me go :/ at times, so this one's far out of my comfort zone.

thyried June 9 2010, 14:57:30 UTC

Funny, I actually find Rampage crazier and more manic than this one.　Perhaps it's all the hyperness in Rampage. Or the goth-loli-ness of some parts of Division → Crash just appeals more to me.

Shu-tP's new song is just too awesome for not getting into the ranking... They're deaf if it didn't enter the ranking.

I like how Cosmo use all the Appends, but the song didn't impress me as much as Soushitsu.

Pfft, that boyband song never fail to make me giggle.

Too badass len, is too badasss.

It's been a while since the last time Machige use Miku for non-scary song. Miku's voice still sound a bit creepy tho.
BTW, Machige just uploaded another song last night. It seems he loves Append Sweet... The song? Do we need to doubt him?

oftendistracted June 9 2010, 08:34:39 UTC

As far as the Shu-tP track goes, it came out over the weekend, which can easily explain it not getting into this week's ranking. I'll just be very upset if it doesn't show up next week. Trouble is, I think it started falling down the Daily 100 pretty fast.

kucingila June 9 2010, 11:45:44 UTC

It only got around 3000 views until now, why Shu-tP isn't loved.

also, "Hysteric Beat Boost" isn't spoofing Persona, but Digital Devil Saga.

thyried June 9 2010, 15:08:56 UTC

It's just hit 4000 views just now. Let's hope the counter keeps going up till next Monday... *goes watching the video again*
