Song of the Day Nov 27, 2010

Lots of nice songs that came out these past two days. Sorry about yesterday, I forgot to publish after I finished writing it. I reposted every song so it should be fine. Seriously though, too many to actual review a specific one. Please enjoy every one of them, or die.






Not an original song, but still good nonetheless. My first reaction was that it was voiced by a human, proving that gumi is one of the best vocaloids around.


Beautifully remix of a miku song. The guitar might be a little too overwhelming though.




Not my cup of tea, but I see how others might like it, so I'll post it.


Beautiful.

Song of the Day Nov 24, 2010

Today had lots of good songs. Too bad it takes quite a while to ravage through all of the videos. Totally worth it...

First, I will post two arranges or remixes that I forgot to post previously:






And on to the original song of the day:

【初音ミク】 栄う千夜と雪の花


The only open criticism I can make of this song is that its full potential is limited by bad sound quality. Turn the volume on blast and the song sets you free. The beginning is godly, using festival stringed instruments with the utmost precision to grasp the listener, bells and (What seems to me) shrine maiden vocals to bring in the meat of the song, and setting it all off with electronic music. The change in atmosphere works perfectly with the instruments. Miku's voice, too, is well used, with her voice and vocals harmonizing superbly with the overall feel of the song.

Better quality this way.

Runner ups:





Well that's all for today. May everybody have a great thanksgiving!

shits....and no giggles...

So I came home today and booted up ma lappy only to find that its hard drive (which happens to be my main HDD for my music and this blog) had failed. I'll get it replaced (and hopefully recover some data), but for now I won't be able to update.

Let this also be a reminder to me that I should back up my collection more than once every 2 months =/

Song of the Day Nov 22, 2010

Sorry about the absence, I was busy celebrating the end of a couple exams by duking it out on Touhou Pocket Wars EVO. Today will be the end of my break, and another won't surface until winter and summer. Today, I will just post a bunch of songs that I felt were noteworthy. Again, sorry, but I had to let out all the steam somewhere, right?

【初音ミク】Time Machine【オリジナル曲】

Reminds me of my first time hearing Hatsune Miku. Its quite a tasty song for those desiring reminiscence of past times.

【初音ミク】 未来座の恒星 【オリジナル曲】

Song containing excellent band work, with Hatsune Miku fitting the main attraction. Turn up the volume and earphones for best effect.

【初音ミク】Falling Calling【オリジナル曲っす】

Might not be a song that rates high, but it has originality in design so I'll submit it.

【オリジナル/セルフカバー】「架橋」を歌ってもらった【初音ミク】

I'm a sucker to these type of songs, sue me.

鏡音レン・鏡音リンオリジナル曲 「廃都アトリエスタにて」

You guys knew this was coming.

【初音ミク】さよならいえるかな【オリジナル曲】

These type of PV's never make it to the top, so I'll post it here. What I like about this song is its freedom and independence.

【初音ミク】ミルクラウン恋鎖【オリジナル】

Another song that has the same atmosphere of familiar songs. A bit too repetitive but it sure won't hurt.


And that's all, folks. See ya tommorrow! Wait its already tomorrow. Well See you later then!

Song of the Day Nov 17, 2010

Today's been another good day for vocaloid songs, with a couple good songs within the 50 some vids that were posted. Sadly, the gap for the song of the day is fairly large.
Regardless, I'll post an extra vid that was one of my favs of the day.
To RaGeDZai: the two songs you posted were unavoidably good (I did watch it when it was posted though), but I felt that the one I reviewed was definitely the best. Regardless, your response definitely helped my lack of recommendations, cuz I'm just that lazy.

「キャットフード」 オリジナル曲 vo.初音ミク

They say not to read a book by its cover, thus I check every newly posted song thoroughly. Its uncommon that both the music and the PV are deserving of the song of the day. The introduction is uniform to the rest of the song, providing subtle intensifications during the song's progression. The tune alone is catchy enough to attract attention. The simplistic rhythmic beat also drags the listeners into the most energetic parts of the song. The torrent of different instruments and musical effects brings forth an unyielding affinity with the listener. Three fourths till the end, the song breaks its pattern in order to create a new melody fit for a conclusion, and it does so impeccably. The song gets a last barrage and ends identically to its beginning, with a captivating melody.

Was going to pick this:
【初音ミク】 Angel Knife 【オリジナル】大百科


Notice that the video has only a slideshow of words. That proves the importance of checking each and every song thoroughly.

Well I can feel my conscious fading, so I'm gonna call it a day.
HatsuneLOVER is out

F*******ck yeah!!

Song of the Day Nov 16

Jeez there were around five full pages of new vocaloid videos today. Plenty of pretty good ones. Today's video was almost a tie so I will post the second vid below or something.

【初音ミクDark】白猫のミー【オリジナル】

This song is tasty isn't it? The soft piano makes a perfect foundation for the song. The background sounds blend all too well: with every step of the song, the music beautifully follows. The various changes throughout the songs produces a dramatic effect which absorbs the audience, immersing them within the flow, atmosphere, and energy of the song. The flow does not just immerse, it intoxicates. The spell lifts well after the song ends. Not only that, the conclusion fits perfectly well with the rest of the song. PS: wear earphones, preferably good ones.

second place:


And that's all folks. Until next time, Bye bye!!

Monday, November 15, 2010

Squadelah- We're off!

Heya all! It's Zenjae, here (finally =_=) and here is (again, finally) the next three installments of Furoha!!!!! Much apologies that this has come so long overdue, though, I promise to be contributing a lot more often, so fear not, compadres!!!! And now, for great justice, FUROHA~~~!!!:



Song of the Day Nov 15

If any of you noticed that I didn't post a review yesterday, it was because I fell asleep on my desk. You can count my previous review as two days since it was between both the thirteenth and the fourteenth.
Alrighty lets skip the excuses and go onto the review!

鏡音リン】ぞっこんかぁにばる【オリジナル】

I was going to do UrStyle, but Rovencrone had to remind me that it was already submitted within a album. Good thing today had lots of delicious songs. Hey look I'm writing before twelve, would you look at that.
The traditional music is quite absorbing isn't it? The song starts off strong, with the the festive instruments blasting to pave the path for the introduction. Each part of the song is separated by the entrance or extraction of instruments. The song itself consists of only repetition, so there is no dramatic change during the climax. It does a great job interweaving modern and traditional instruments, even if they were used very sparsely. Well I'm gonna have to end it short today cuz I gots work tomorrow, c yaz!

Song of the Day: Nov 14, 2010

Boy am I tired. No energy to say anything, so lets go on to the review. oh yes, post comments. got it? awesome.

【GUMI】 水彩 【オリジナル】


A decent song sung by gumi, accompanied by some guitars.
yeah....

Fine, I'll keep going, jeez. The beginning feels a bit too slow, but it becomes more interesting later on. Along with the introduction of underlining instruments, ushers in energy that ripples through the latter parts of the song. This sudden addition improves the song tenfold. As usual, gumi's voice usually fits these type of songs best. The tone seems as if Gumi is yearning for something, doesn't it? The energy reaches its apex as the guitar dims down and the instruments stop, only to return fully charged for one last comeback. The end of the song is then signaled, and satisfaction is achieved.

All right, snooze time

Song of the Day: Nov 11, 2010

Good thing theres only one Veteran's day, I couldn't handle another day without writing a review. Today's song is a bit predictable; it's first in the rankings, after all. Feel free to comment and stuff in the comment box or something. Now to the review! (hip hip horah)
【初音ミク】一秒の魔法【オリジナルPVつき】

Wow, the video is so potently cute that my heart moves as I watch. Now I have to rearrange my seat. (Get it? Move? Seat?). Well, brilliant jokes aside, the song, alone, is deserving of the song of the day. It might not be terribly original, but it still sounds great, especially how the violin goes so well with the guitars. The beginning cuts right into the song and only continues to picks up its energy as it progresses. Repetition is often differentiated by instruments and does not seem to dull upon the second time around. The background music is commendable, with the use of unlikely combinations of instruments to produce an even more unlikely atmosphere of romance. The conclusion of the song follows the story rather then its own flow, so it feels a bit disappointing when listening to the awkwardly repeated tune.
Nonetheless, a great song of the day.

Originality: 3.5
Execution 4.1
Replay Value 3.8

Song of the Day: Nov 10, 2010

Heyo, H@tsuneLOVER here! Another day, another review! Lots of decent songs were posted today, so its been a bit hard to choose. But first, a new single is releasing so make sure to check it out. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJJXY0Dgj5w)

Also a new album by #8 prince, which is a pretty famous composer, but I forgot why.
(http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12705648)

Oh yes, I often refrain from posting all of the notable songs to save energy (laziness).Thanks to RaGeDZAI for reminding me that. Again, feel free to comment on the review or the song, maybe even complimenting my good looks and my immeasurable awesomeness.
Now onto the review!

【初音ミク】ハローストロボ【オリジナル】


Despite its obvious repetition, the song itself does not feel overly extended, nor does it bore the listener. However, its replayability value is a tad bit low. That does not mean that the song is bad. The pausing, spacing and speed of Miku's vocals are all expertly invested into the formulation of the song's climax. The guitar crucially sustains the audience's attention, the breaks within the music stealthily bridges parts of the song to the next, the background voices underline and establish the expression of the song.

Well whatever, its late and i got to sleep,
*H@tsuneLOVER has disconnected*

Song of the Day: Nov 9, 2010

H@tsuneLOVER here,

Today will be my first "Song of the Day" post. Just as it sounds, I will be posting reviews and ratings for newly released videos. Please comment and state your own opinions about the songs I post, or maybe compliment how awesome I am.
Now onto the song of the day:


1.【巡音ルカ】FUWA-FUWA【オリジナル、】
A calming, rhythmic song with Luka as its vocalist. The trance-like music beautifully segues the intro into the body of the song. Luka's voice syncs perfectly with both the tune and the atmosphere in the music. The artist also expertly uses instruments to separate different parts of the song. As it progresses, the song becomes bombarded, yet not overwhelmed, by different instruments, blending into a uniform melody that fully compliments Luka's voice.

Ratings (Max. 5)
Originality 3.75
Execution 4.5
Replayability 4.0

Alright, that will conclude today's review. Sometimes I might post two or more songs, but due to both time constraints (Was searching nicovideo for a long time) and fatigue (Reunions suck), today will consist of only one.
