With some unexpected turn of events, I got my own domain, so naturally I’m moving my beloved blog in with me.
So if you’re one of the five people that suscribed, be sure to bookmark the new blog: http://jiiii.amagigoe.com/
I’ll miss this place, but we all have to go sometime, right?
I CANNOT WAIT
At the moment it is undetermined how many industry panels I’ll end up attending (since I’m a SERIOUS BUSINESS cosplayer and all), but I’ll be sure to attend the GAINAX panels this year for the chance of seeing some select seiyuu (Gurren Lagann pleaaaaaaase). There will be a quite a few events I’ll keep my eye on, like the AnCafe concert, the Masquerade show, and the Karaoke contest. I’ll be sure to keep my camera out at all times and report back on Monday!
If you are attending, you can find me as Tomoyo on Saturday (clannaids) or Kyonko on Sunday (lololol). I may do Kitsu Chiri (Zetsubou), but I have not decided on either Friday or Monday or not at all.
Anyway, see you at FanimeCon!
[Edit] Yeah, I do have a new layout.
First off, sorry for neglecting this blog for some time. The season of examinations flourishes in my school halls, so there hasn’t been much time to spend on my other interests. (Who am I kidding, I’m such a procastinator.)
Anyway, I’ve talked a lot about the Kumikyoku phenomenon on this site, and really, I’ve seem to become a nicochan since. I’ve also mentioned other versions previously on this blog, but I’d like to say that they actually weren’t related other than the fact that they are song medleys. Today I’m going to talk a little bit about the “official” Kumikyoku series, if you can call it official. Continue reading ‘[Nico] The Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga Family’
Japan isn’t the only one with an appreciation for voice acting (obviously). In fact, this is also the 2nd year for both the Seiyuu Awards and Voice Actor awards. But since there have been all sorts of coverage of the Seiyuu Awards (and how rigged it is), I’ll put in my plug for the Voice Actor awards, also known as the Voicey Awards. I’ve been lazy to talk about this and it’s been more than a month since I found out about the results, but now it’s Spring Break, I have all the time in the world.

AniSama Live launched their 2008 website today; the theme for this year is Challenge. It will be held at the Saitama Super Arena and it will be held over two days–Saturday August 30th and Sunday, August 31st. So far the announced performers are:
[8/30] ALI PROJECT, GRANRODEO, Kuribayashi Minami, Chihara Minori, and Mizuki Nana
[8/31] Ishikawa Chiaki, JAM Project, Domestic Loveband (angela), Hirano Aya, and Moimoi Haruko.
Advanced lottery registration begins 4/14 and ends 4/28. Tickets are ￥7,500 per day. Regular sale date starts 6/21.
It seems that there will be some coverage to come on the Nico Channel as well, as expected of dwango. More info can be found on the website.
Minorin’s site announced that the last performance of her 1st Live Tour (3/23) was recorded, thus will be released on DVD. The sale date will be 6/25 for a small price of ￥5,000.
Maybe that’s why they put up the manners notice before the last performance…. Below is a picture from the last performance, posted in her blog; Minorin w/band and staff.
[EDIT] 3 CMs have been released on the Lantis site for the DVD. I keep having issue when I try to access the video page, so here’s the nico link:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

Sariya and Re: announced in their blogs today that their Nico Singer collaboration group will no longer be together. It seems that Sariya and Gazelle got into a fight, which ultimately led to their decision to break up. For what reasons that caused Gazelle’s uncharacteristic outburst is not really known. On March 31, all of their videos will be taken down, so watch ‘em now while you can. Luckily, some of them have been uploaded onto YouTube by this guy.
It was only a week ago that I started to enjoy their work, too… It’s really too bad.
Also, Sariya seems to have switched to her own vocal + piano collab with pianist AS; together they form Sweet Simple Little World. A mini live event was held last Thursday; you can see a small clip of the humorous opening number on the site (under the Little World tab). And yes, the audience did get to see her face(!). She’s currently working on a PV for one of her songs, as well. Anyway, for now we can only hope for recovery later on, at least as just friends.
