Hooooo, it has been a LONG time since I last updated this decrepit old hole and in that time, man a lot has happened. I’d update you, but that’s not what Music Hour is about. I suppose now, I’m gonna devote Music Hour to cool videos and stuff. Cos, well, I can.
Anyway to get on with the show, there’s a sensation that’s swept the net known as Vocaloid, a program which basically allows you to synthesise singing. ‘cept it’s Japanese, so it doesn’t handle English too well. What it DOES handle well, however, is game music, as testified by the above.
Now I love Sonic games, I love Sonic music, and I am notoriously bad at both (I can’t play Sonic and I can’t play his music. *sad face*)
So here is a piece which really brightened my eyes – have a listen.
I’m sure by now you’re tiring of this formula, but really since I’m the only one reading this stuff (lololol) it doesn’t matter. =D
So what the above video is appears to be some fanmade opening videos for F/SN, and they’re so well made that they’re bloody convincing as well. XD
I hope you enjoy them, because I certainly did.
This. Game. Looks. Beautiful.
If there is never a console version, and it never comes to England, I will go to Japan and steal an arcade machine. The game is THAT BEAUTIFUL. It’s like…a fully playable fangasm. And furthermore, it actually looks like a great game in its own right – which just makes me wanna take it to my bedroom and do durdy things to it play it even more.
I will die if I never get a chance to play this. Seriously.
This video is amazing – not only is it the first opening in nearly perfect quality, it also continues after the opening finishes to play the full opening song, which I find to be a really great song. The song plays on the words “This Illusion”, the name of the original intro in the the game.
Now, I have to explain one thing right now. I love Fate/Stay Night and anything related to it. TYPE-MOON is one of my favourite studios, in fact.
I’ve even been dubbed a Saber fetishist because of how much I love Saber (A main character in F/SN) but in fact, there’s hardly a character in F/SN I don’t like. XD
Anyway, just thought I’d post this as a sign of what’s to come. I like anime openings so if I find interesting ones, I’ll post them up – otherwise, I’ll probably be talking about anime or something else random. XD
Ah, just a little note here, not everything I do will have a video to it (even though everything has so far!), but I will try to keep posts visually interesting! XD
This song is rather beautiful I think. The video’s very pretty too, so I put the ending theme up top there.
Ah, does make you imagine clouds….or it does me, anyway. XD
Hum…Ah yes, not sure about the title, but I’m assuming it’s the right name for the song? If not, ah well…haha. It’s out there somewhere. XD
Hmm, I want a screenshot from the video though, so I can vector it. >=3
Just a quick one, since I had already posted the opening too – I’ll seeya next time.
So the past few days, I’ve found myself somehow compelled to play classic NES games and watch anime. Despite being a big anime fan, it’s odd for me to actually watch anime. That’s probably because I don’t have the patience for the loading times, since I watch it online – mostly cos the anime in England is either crappy (poorly dubbed Naruto for the lose) or so far ahead I can’t catch up (Decently dubbed Bleach at around say, 100+ episodes in). So I end up watching it online, cos I can watch at my pace, and what I want (so long as the video works, anyway.)
So, my anime of choice was Scrapped Princess, and as you can see I’ve kindly plopped the opening song at the top of this post. It’s a story about a princess who was thrown out because a prophecy said that when she turned 16, she’d bring death to the world, basically. However, she didn’t die – and she’s now 15 years old, and travelling with her adopted older sister and brother, Raquel and Shannon. So, Pacifica, the princess, is now being chased by the royal army and anyone who believes the prophecy – which is just about anyone of the Mauser faith….By the way, interestingly, a lot of the names in this series are references to firearms! Haha, it’s quite interesting.
Ok, back to the plot though, well – enter characters like Chris, Leo, and Winia and you have yourself a few questions. “What is chivalry, and justice?”, “Am I doing the right thing?” “Is it wrong to be friends with her?”. Even Shannon asks himself is he’s doing the right thing, and it can get quite powerful at times. Characters all have their own personalities and by the end of it, you can predict how people are going to behave.
The plot becomes more interesting however, when the sci-fi part of this sci-fi fantasy kicks in. Because by sci-fi, we’re talking DBZ/Gundam/Super giant dragon creatures, and…well it’s pretty flashy. Very fun to watch, and a shame that in the 24 (I think it was that many, if not 25) episodes there was only a little of it. However, once that first dragon-filled action scene comes in, things become more confusing, but still engaging.
Anyway, the ending was satisfying and the plot twists kept me going until the next sexy-action scene came in. The characters felt as if they weren’t all mindless stereotypes, but actually had a human side to them, particularly in the questions they asked – a the key umbrella issue though seems to be “Is what I’m doing right?”
Overall, I really did enjoy it and I’d recommend it. It was a lot of fun to watch, and it’s only short (around 25 episodes) so it won’t eat up too much time.
And that’s that! I’m tired of writing about this now. XD
Seeya next time I get bored and come here. =)
Haha, oh how long it’s been since I last watched this!
This is essentially a flash animation/gadget/thing featuring animated versions of some of the most famous attacks in the JoJo universe.
Ah how I love JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. X3
Anyway, the first 3 are from series 5, the sound is from the PS2 game JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken (sp?): Golden Wind, and the last 2 are the 2 most famous characters, from the most famous series, series 3, which use sound from the most famous game on the PSX/DC/Arcades. Haha.
Just thought I’d post this cos I’ve got nothing much better to do, sat up here in my room all bored and such. XD
Well, enjoy. The original flash can be found here: clicky!
