[BLOG] My Music Interest: December 2015 Edition

Okay so the pic above is somewhat a placeholder for until I can come up with a proper logo pic for these type of posts (Don't ask. I'll have people nagging at me for make a wordy blog post without visuals.).

So anyway, no news this time but this is something I'm probably gonna be doing quite often, which I unceremoniously call "My Music Interest". But what is My Music Interest? It's basically a series of blog posts that I'll be doing either when I'm free, once a week or once a month. As for what it's about, it's where I share the songs I'm hooked up on lately, be it full songs or just short versions. Just something I thought I'd share just for my readers to learn a little more about me.

So anyway, let's get on with the first, shall we?

PLASMIC FIRE by KOTOKO x ALTIMA

Okay so one of my all-time favorite bands is ALTIMA and on occasion, I do listen to KOTOKO. Both bands are a pretty big part of my otaku fandom. So hearing them perform this song pleases ALOT. And yes, this song is called PLASMIC FIRE and is the opening theme for the upcoming anime, Accel World: Infinite Burst.

 1983 -Schwarzesmarken- by fripSide

Okay so here's a question: What do ALTIMA and fripSide have in common? 2 things:-

1. Both have Satoshi Yaginuma a.k.a Sat as member/composer.
3. Both are 2 of my favorite bands.

So anyway, the video above is the opening intro for the visual novel adaption of Muv-Luv: Schwarzesmarken and featuring the opening theme, 1983 -Schwarzesmarken- by fripSide. And yes, I absolutely love it. BTW, Schwarzesmarken is getting an anime adaption too.

Can't Stop!! by Sanae Katagiri (Voiced by Azumi Waki)

So let's talk THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls. Yes, I am a fan. Anyway, no videos this time as there's a download for the single online and also because I want people to actually hear the song for themselves.
 

Anyway, what do I think of this song? Energetic. I'm constantly playing this song on loop most of the time. Though, atleast in my own opinion, this is one of those songs that is meant to be performed live. As for whether this song suits Sanae, quite befitting. The character's always been depicted as someone "genki" and given her background as an ex-police officer, absolutely befitting.

Himitsu no Toilette by Shiki Ichinose (Voiced by Kotomi Aihara)

Oh look everyone, another iDOLM@STER song. Yeah this one's the solo single for Shiki Ichinose. This one's not as energetic as Can't Stop!! but it's not a slow song either. Rather, I find it relaxing. I usually listen to this song when I need to relax for abit, which happens alot lately.

As for whether this song suits Shiki or not, no idea. I never really saw her as a cute type of idol, which was how they were marketing her as, but given the song and her voice, I can see now why. Though, I still think she's better off as a Passion idol (Go read up on Cinderella Girls. They categorize the idols under Cute, Cool, and Passion, all based on background and personality).

So yeah here's a sample of some of the songs I've been hooked up on lately. Leave a comment below on your favorite songs, music genre or singers/bands. You can also leave some suggestions too on what I should check out on. I'm mostly into J-Pop, J-Rock, Synthpop, Electronic Rock, Digital Hardcore, though I do listen to other genres from time to time.

Anyway, Shu Serian, signing off.
