CMKanno - Song Samples

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Hi all, I made a slideshow of some of the songs that are going to be included in the Grand Trax “CMKanno” release. Enjoy :)

The music in those videos are taken from the Grand Funk Inc. Offical Website or are ripped directly from the CM videos. Imagine how they would sound in good quality.

For the real videos of some of these commercials, go to this youtube playlist I made. (more…)

Recommendation Series:
Joanna Newsom

Friday, May 4th, 2007

If you have listened to the whole Gabriela Robin discography, you’ve probably heard so many synth alterations made on her voice, but some songs just seem so raw it has to be her real voice. Take for example “ABC Mouse Parade” from Yoko Kanno’s Song to Fly Album - it sounds so raw, almost no synth except for special effects here and there. (…not to mention that Kanno’s voice actually sounds like that when she talks!)

So that given, here is an artist who has almost the same pitch, timbre, and pronounciation as Gabriela Robin in ABC Mouse Parade. Her looks might also remind you of the character “Sora” from Escaflowne the movie. Her name is Joanna Newsom, a harpist, pianist, harpsichordist, singer and songwriter from Nevada City, California.

Listen to her song Sprout and Bean and note the similarities: (more…)

Origa’s Live Performance of Turn-A Gundam’s Moon

Friday, April 20th, 2007

So. I made this crappy slideshow of Origa singing “Moon” + “Tsuki no Mayu/Moon’s Cocoon” live from the Turn-A Gundam concert. I made it in order to clarify some fans’ perception that Origa sang the original “Moon”, when Gabriela did so. The first part of the performance is “Moon” written and originally performed by Gabriela Robin. The second part “Tsuki no Mayu” is written by Lin Iogi, originally performed by Aki Okui.

Here is a sample of the original “Moon” by Gabriela Robin:

Photos in the slideshow taken from Origa’s official site, The YK Project, and Google image search, edited with a bit of Photoshop.

Oh, by the way, someone has uploaded the real live video in YouTube: (more…)

Omna Magni Fan Video: If Only to Fly

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

One of the more popular fan videos made for a Gabby song is “If Only to Fly”, created by *SilverPoot, featuring Omna Magni from Aquarion. It features an animation of a fox that wishes to fly. The cute part is that the fox really looks like it’s singing the song. This animation was drawn frame by frame, just imagine the amount of work put into this video.
