2010.02.05 - Added Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka's "magnet"! 2010.01.13 - PHANTOM MINDS single's all done! 2009.10.30 - All four tracks from Mugen is up! 2009.07.27- All new songs from Mizuki Nana's ULTIMATE DIAMOND have been added! Wa-i \(^o^)/
I don’t frequent the Vocaloid scene very often; I only know the most basic of the “famous” songs (Melt, Black Rock Shooter, Roshin Yuukai, etc). So I was on Pixiv and stumbled upon an illustration of Shiraishi/Hiyama from CB2 (above) that seemed to be a parody of Miku/Luka in the song “magnet” by, uhh…Turai/minato/Ryuusei P. They go by three different names. Turai? THAT Turai? If it’s the same person then wow, he’s very musically talented. Aaaanyways.
Because of the illustration, I went to listen to the song and as with all other godly Vocaloid songs, the musical quality is extraordinarily high, much higher than many professionally composed works.
Two covers with most views on Nico are by Hitori & che:Sakurai (♀） and clear & Dasoku (♂). This song is kind of erotic so I was getting all goosebumpy while listening to actual people singing it <_>. Especially Hitori & che:Sakurai’s version, which actually shocked me the first time around with their wide ranges. It makes me feel like musically retarded that I can go neither as high nor as low as them lol.
Another version worth mention is Sekihan & Pico’s (♂). It hasn’t reached 1 million views yet, but it’s like the reverse version of Hitori & che:Sakurai’s: two guys with the ability to sing in convincing female voices. Pico’s falsetto is seeexy. I am sure the last chorus with the ending bit just killed all fujoshi within a five hundred meter radius, because even I felt something orz. These people are all beasts with their ten-octave ranges.
Covers aside, this calls for more transliterations!
A new month, a new episode, the same reason to live for \(^o^)/ 駄目人間
But holy crap, lemme get this outta the way first—
THIS EPISODE IS LEGENDARY! щ(ﾟДﾟ*щ)(屮*ﾟДﾟ)屮
Not very often that I have to say this about fictional characters, but omfg Shiraishi and Hiyama srsly need to practice self-control. I try to keep parts before the cut spoiler-free but what the hell wrong’s with this episode? COMPLETELY YURI. 100%. Holy crap. Even the semi-active CB2 yuri thread on 2ch is burning with moe. Pixiv has three new pieces of Shiraishi x Hiyama art within the first day of broadcast. Absolutely everybody (who is interested in SxH) is going insane. I stopped hyperventilating in the last two weeks but I just involuntarily started again orz. I don’t even know how many times I looped this episode already.
Reactions on Chinese forums are hilarious as well. Actual thread title: “Is it just me or do Hiyama and Shiraishi feel like an item?” lolol. Even Aizawa x Shiraishi fans feel the pressure. We aren’t delusional \(^o^)/
In other semi-related news, since I’ve started blogging about CB2 weekly more people have been coming here for this drama. It’s actually kind of interesting to see what kind of terms people plug in search engines… a large amount came looking for Aizawa x Shiraishi; there’s about five for every Shiraishi x Hiyama. That’s totally fine with me. As long as I know that this minority in the English fandom at least exists, I can live on orz.
Oh and to the three people that came by searching for “let’s get this thing started”: you guys are totally awesome.
Episode 4 in a nutshell: sorry but I really can’t think properly SHIRAISHI X HIYAMA \(^o^)/
I seriously need to learn to pick out the good screencaps. You can totally tell that I’m one of those people that copies every single word from the teacher’s notes instead of picking out the important points.
Mizuki Nana and Tamura Yukari frequently looked at each other and laughed, showing their close friendship, just like the characters they play. Suddenly, Tamura Yukari remarked “This movie is the story of Nanoha and Fate’s first meeting. Nanoha had always liked Fate but Fate is so cold…” in a shocking confession (?). To this Mizuki Nana apologized “That’s because I couldn’t be true to myself… sorry”. The emcee [Mishima] quickly rebuts “This work is about Nanoha and Fate’s friendship!” causing the hall to erupt in laughter at the two leads’ well-coordinated mini-skit.
please excuse my non-existent translation skills orz
You two… control yourself in public! (´Д｀；)ハァハァ
And according to reports apparently Yukarin hugged Nana-san’s shoulder (?)… oh my dear god.
Misshi, I am counting on you! Please include this press conference as a DVD/blu-ray extra m(_ _)m
水樹奈々「水樹もまだまだイケル」とノリノリ！『魔法少女リリカルなのは The MOVIE 1st』初日舞台挨拶
Oh boy, I love me my weekly tsundere x idiot dose! (wut)
This week passed by rather peacefully without me going insane every two hours since it seemed like there wasn’t even going to be any Shiraishi/Hiyama interaction. Turns out there’s still quite a bit and I don’t believe I’m saying this about official content but I feel like Shiraishi and Hiyama’s relationship just advanced one step further.
And the staff need to be more careful. In the official gallery, there’s a pic where Hiyama is wearing that green surgery outfit which has a pretty low collar (above), and her scars are nowhere to be seen (´・ω・`)；； The most ironic thing is that in the episode she used that clipboard to hide it the entire time and THEN they forget it in the official photos. Sad.
What else is sad is that I seriously think Aizawa’s position as “the cool main male protagonist” is being threatened by Shiraishi. The only scenes that Shiraishi actually seems feminine in are when she cries or something, speaking of which the scene in this episode was done quite nicely. Aizawa’s a nice guy. I might be rooting for these two if Hiyama didn’t exist. But she does. So yeah.
Anyways, special guest this episode is Hamada Gaku aka Tsuru from Proposal Daisakusen! I actually haven’t seen him since ProDai, which was in 2007… wow, has it been that long already?
Episode 3 in a nutshell: oh god if last episode was a do-M fest then I don’t know what this is.
