If you’re following the Kanno or AKINO communities, you’d probably know by now that the song Sousei no Aquarion tops internet downloads, online polls, and has a new version by the anime’s voice actors to be released next month. It might as well be Kanno’s most popular song, at least in Japan. While I was searching YouTube videos, there was a fan that parodied the “Jesus Christ Musical” comedy and used Sousei no Aquarion as the background music. And yes, the poster is from Japan. The editing is pretty funny

Please don’t view the video if you get offended with religious jokes.

For those who don’t know the original video, you could view it here. (more…)

This CM should remind you of the KDDI CM that I and many other fans are so very fond of. Maybe the film direction is from the same advertising group, but I can’t tell Enjoy (more…)

BUMP 2!

Update: The lyrics page has been updated to include Poem by Virgilius Sade. Five more submissions and this list is finished

Time to get those ears listening and fingers typing, it’s the long waited open season for Ragnarok and CMYoko lyrics submissions!

The following list contains songs that are not credited to Robin, but are indirectly credited to her. One, the Ragnarok OST does not clearly define who sang what in the CD, not even Ilaria Graziano’s songs, so all gibberish songs, I assume are hers. I made an exception to “Everland” because I don’t know who wrote the lyrics to that one, but let’s just work on it anyway. For the CMYoko release, well, I’m assuming that Robin is singing because it’s credited to Samply Red and there’s only one female in that group. Guess who.

NOTE: To submit an entry, please check first if there is already someone who has sent an entry by checking the comments section. If available, please post a comment here with which one you are working on, then send your contribution via email to mike underscore s underscore 6 at yahoo dot com. As I update the site, I will strike out the ones that already have submissions.
