Macross F Songs Leaked Again *__*

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Sorry again, they’re not here. I’m just *__*;; The quality is not that good, but still.

There’s Infinity, What ’bout My Star (Sheryl on Stage), What ’bout My Star, Do You Remember Love, My Boyfriend is a Pilot Part 1 and Part 2 (!!!), and The Brother Spaceship.

That’s all. Gosh, who sneaked into the music studio?! What ’bout My Star is kinda cute, Engrish and all.

Sheryl on Stage is a version of Sheryl performing live, so you hear a crowd cheering on. The other version of course, is the one without the audience. I want to see Sheryl dance to this :D

Infinity has irregular rhythm, it’s got me, of course, anything with weird rhythm gets me :P I want a better quality version of this song. It gets a bit jazzy towards the middle. And I’m taking back what I said about the plain arrangement. Here’s a very short sample:

My Boyfriend is a Pilot (both parts) is very, very, very cute. Especially if you know the lyrics. I think I just died.

The Brother Spaceship is just as you’ve heard in Macross Radio, the quality is even better there.

I think the quality of these leaks are bad, they just serve as teasers. They’re teasing really well I tell you.

The Bandwidth is Going, Going…

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Guys, ever since I posted a lot of stuff about Macross Frontier, the visits just went up and now this blog is risking going down by the end of the month. Don’t be surprised if it does :P I can’t believe this is going to happen AFTER I had my bandwidth doubled. But then again, if that means there have been more visitors, then that’s a good thing, right?

Anyway, some brief updates:

News tidbit 1:
Look who has Kanno’s CM CD:

(That’s May’n, Sheryl Nome’s singing voice!)

News tidbit 2:
The Hotto Motto CM video is up in their official site. Kanno arranged the music for this.

News tidbit 3:
Macross F’s episode 7 had a new song entitled “Infinity”, which I’m not that fond of, it’s just too plain and common for my tastes. Nothing special, and I don’t like how the voices mix. Also in this episode, we hear the harmonica version 2 of Aimo. (If you’ve watched the episode, you’re probably gagging on how I’m trying to dodge spoilers in narrating stuff about the music.) I personally thought that the harmonica was just one of Kanno’s quirks, just like those weird horns in Omna Magni, but it seems like… it’s part of the plot.

And here’s my bonus sample of Infinity, well, even if it’s not the strongest song in Macross Frontier, it’s not that bad. (I’m giving you permission to like this song to death if you please ;) )

News tidbit 4:
The title of one of the songs in the Ranka Lee = Megumi Nakajima CD single is “Interstellar Flight”. The title is actually in Japanese, though I can’t Romanize it properly, so that’s just the translation.

News tidbit 5:
That Macross F OST 1 CD cover is official, it’s in the Macross F Official Site. And yes, they appended “1″ after OST, so even if we *know* that there’d be a second OST, this is just official and it rocks. And look at that, they’re still attempting to hide the spoilery track list that Victor earlier seems to have accidentally posted :P

The Macross Frontier OST CDs Sales

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

It’s all good news :)

First of all, we already have the news that the Triangler Single debuted in the Oricon daily singles charts at #6, and debuted on the weekly charts on #3. Now, we know that the Diamond Crevasse/Don’t be Late single charts debuted in the daily charts on #2, and debuted on the weekly charts on #3.

null

And the newest news? The Macross F OST 1’s First Press is sold out in CD Japan. And it’s not even *technically* on sale yet, it’s just pre-orders. I’m regretting delaying ordering the CD last week, that means I won’t get the freebie (A Sheryl Nome stage pass XD ).

I was about to make an all-out “Support The Macross F OST 1″ because the music to the animation is very good, but I suppose there’s no need. Just buy the CD ;)

Other blogs and news sites have caught on the news:
