Nekomimi Music

I have no idea where these came from or how I even stumbled upon them, I think it was just random YouTube browsing? Anyway, totally rockin' Gundam song covers incoming:
Zeta Gundam OP1 "Beyond the Time":

Zeta Gundam OP2, "Filling the Star of Water With Love":

"Soldiers of Sorrow" the end song to the Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy:

Gundam 0083, "The Winner" [my personal favourite]:

Mobile Suit Gundam "Fly Gundam!" for the lulz:


There's more on youtube if you want to look at them but these are my favourites. I'm sure some of you probably already know about these songs, as they are quite old. Actually, I believe when Toonami showed Gundam 0083 in America they used Richie Kotzen's version for the dub!

These are my ideal "Anime Remix" songs. A small daydream of mine is him submitting these songs to animeremix.org. While Anime Remix is up. :3

MARIMITE CHRISTMAS ALBUM? Oh my gaaaawd. Someone first told me about it on IRC last week and I knew I HAD to hear it for myself. Well... I found it and took a listen:

The premise here is simple, make the cast of "Maria Watches Over Us" sing arranged Christmas songs. What actually resulted is the most hilariously cheesy engrish album I've possibly ever laid ears upon. All the tracks are sung in English, accompanied by obviously fake instruments. I'm sure it wouldn't have been hard to translate the songs into Japanese, which might have made the CD pleasant to listen to. This album is pretty good for a laugh though. You'd think they could pronounce "year" instead of just "eeee" or "kin" instead of "key."

Tracklist is as follows:
1 - Fukuzawa Yumi (Ueda Kana), Shimazu Yoshino (Ikezawa Haruna), Toudou Shimakao (Noto Mamiko) - JOY TO THE WORLD
2 - Matsudaira Touko (Kugimiya Rie), Nijou Noriko (Shimizu Kaori), Hosokawa Kanako (Koshimizu Ami) - Santa Claus is Coming to Town
3 - Fukuzawa Yumi (Ueda Kana), Shimazu Yoshino (Ikezawa Haruna), Toudou Shimakao (Noto Mamiko) - O Come All ye Faithful
4 - Toudou Shimakao (Noto Mamiko), Nijou Noriko (Shimizu Kaori) - Silent Night
5 - Fukuzawa Yumi (Ueda Kana), Matsudaira Touko (Kugimiya Rie) - Angels we Have Heard on High
6 - Fukuzawa Yumi (Ueda Kana), Shimazu Yoshino (Ikezawa Haruna), Toudou Shimakao (Noto Mamiko) - We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Prolific and sexy anime/videogame music remixer Avaris turned 23 today! Happy birthday Shaun!

Maybe I'll get you a present if you come to MAGFest again

You can listen to the song on his myspace page.

I'm always pleasantly surprised to see a new anime remix out of a new face. I'd tell him to submit it to Anime Remix but the site's down at the moment and I can't seem to find Xaleph anywhere. Plus Strike911's actual site is down. Hrmph. Oh well, for now, it's on his myspace page.

I first heard of Strike911 when Auld Lang Sine 2 ended and we all handed in our finished records, and while I thought his music was a bit generic I still liked Trance Insurgency part 1 and 2 a lot .




Also yeah I know this blog hasn't been updated in more than a year. Welcome me back, bitches! Also a fair bit of news, I have officially started my anime collection. I now own Project A-ko, Perfect Blue, and Gunbuster on VHS. Awwright. That's probably it for a while now, though. I'm also starting a new cyberpunk album. Watch out for that sometime... next year.

There was actually lots of news coming out of Anime Remix, but I forgot this blog was here. Some blogger I turned out to be!

Well, the big thing every year at Anime Remix is the halloween competition, and this year was no different. We got 4 entries, all of which are actually themes to villains! Except mine, of course, unless you count Mushi as villains. Xaleph won the contest with Orochimaru's Mansion, a... well, it's Xaleph, you know what it is. Psytrance. Next up Avaris busts out this cool digital cover of "Floating Museum" from Ghost in the Shell. I have the cleverest title of the bunch and was the only one to remix an anime that hasn't been on the site before, "The Shinen" which is both a punny book reference and the name of the original track with a "the" tacked on. There had to be a last place, unfortunately for Aktulua, but his Cell remix was still pretty awesome, and probably should've at least beaten mine. It was also the only non-electronic song of the whole competition, which is pretty refreshing since all we get these days are trance remixes.

Sorry for the long absence, dear one reader. I'll be back with the random youtube videos shortly.
