たいなば (Tainaba) Sings Rinne no Lagrange OP & ED

Nico

Recently found this hilarious little video of this guy singing the Rinne no Lagrange OP "Try Unite!" and "Hello!". His way of singing is of course with the intent of making people laugh. The "maru" that he does is quite manly indeed.

Found this little video while searching for some Mayako Nigo (Yayoi's VA) stuff, so I could compare her Yayoi voice to her other stuff. Her singing here is very much like a slightly subdued Yayoi. Also, the video is very nicely made, and it seems like it could be a slight homage to an older video 2 years before it.

Here's the older one for comparison, though I quite like the visuals done in the new video.

〇 Maru! Rinne no Lagrange 1st Cour Complete!

Finally got around to watching all of the 1st cour of Rinne no Lagrange today! That's 12 episodes of fun, robots, and three very interesting girls!

I really didn't know what to expect, so I ended up being quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I really like the three main characters, although Muginami did take a while to grow on me. Lan was cute and awkward fun, while Madoka is just an all around great.

I guess I could try to do some full review if I'm up to it, but really I'm just itching to watch the next cour soon.

Until next time. 〇 Success! Woof!

Lan, Madoka, Muginami

CINDERELLA MASTER 006 & 010 Extended Preview

Nico

Not just one, but two samples were broadcast during this week's "Idolm@ster Station"!

First up is Cinderella Master 010 Uzuki followed by 006 Ranko. "S(mile)ING!" and "華蕾夢ミル狂詩曲～魂ノ導～" respectively. Followed after is a short CM narrated by Uzuki and Ranko.

Uzuki's song has quite a nice feel to it. Calming and good. I was certainly... smiling when I first heard it. The voice is certainly very normal feeling as well, but that's part of the appeal.

Ranko's song is... interesting to say the least. I really liked the chorus part as per the shorter preview. I'm not sure what to think about the intro though. Though that gothic feel is nice. Also her "Drink in the Darkness!" line is a fun addition at the end of the CM.

Geki End; Magiranger Start; SAO Christmas

Today was such a mixed day of watching.

I just finished Jyuken Sentai Gekirangers, a slightly old Super Sentai series that I had put on hold for maybe a year or two now. At around episode 40 no less. But now I'm finished that great series and off to sample some more old Super Sentai. Although I can of doubt another series would beat Rio and Mele as the bad guys of the series.


And so I started Magirangers. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was a lot of fun for the first few episode. "Magi Magi Magirou!" and those other morphing/zord sounds are pretty hilariously done with that low voice. Also, the whole family being rangers is pretty different.



Also, in between watching those two, I got to see Sword Art Online episode 3. I did not know what to expect, but boy was it sad. No spoilers here though, except for the fact that I was surprised that they had a Christmas in that sort of game. Here's hoping that Kirito can get out of that lull and work with the other players.

Afuu Awakes?

Or does she?

CINDERELLA MASTER 006-010 Samples + Voice Actors

Song titles and song samples are here!

Nico

This post will contain the voice actors and song names for the next five Cinderella Master CDs. Plus, I got the CD cover images from the Idolm@ster blog so it looks nice.

Ranko Kanzaki is voiced by Maaya Uchida (内田真礼)
Her song is "Hana Tsubomi Yume Miru Kyoushikyoku ~Tamashii no Shirube~" (華蕾夢ミル狂詩曲～魂ノ導～)
Read as: "Tsubomi Yumemiru Rhapsodia ~Aruma no Michibiki~" (ツボミユメミルラプソディーア～アルマノミチビキ～)

Miku Maekawa is voiced by Natsumi Takamori (高森奈津美)
Her song is "Onedari Shall We~?" (おねだり Shall We～？)

Kirari Moroboshi is voiced by Rei Matsuzaki (松嵜麗)
Her song is "Marshmellow☆Kiss" (ましゅまろ☆キッス)

Mika Jougasaki is voiced by Haruka Yoshimura (佳村はるか)
Her song is "TOKIMEKI Escalate" (ＴＯＫＩＭＥＫＩエスカレート)

Uzuki Shimamura is voiced by Ayaka Ohashi (大橋彩香)
Her song is "S(mile)ING!"

Kirari's voice in her song was very different from what I expected. Much more cutesy and high pitched. Also, it wasn't as high energy as I expected either. At first I liked Ranko's the best with her gothic style. Then, after repeated listening, I started to like Miku's and Uzuki's quite a bit. Miku because of the trumpets and style, Uzuki because of the relaxing feeling it had. I'm kind of undecided on Mika's song, but it seems nice enough.

Now to wait for the full versions! Scheduled to be released on August the 8th!
