Gundam SEED Destiny B-Side - Seijaku wa Headphone no Naka by See-Saw

Gundam SEED DestinySome weeks ago, I was asked to cover Seijaku wa Headphone no Naka by See-Saw. For those of you who have never heard this awesome song, don't despair... It's actually a B-Side on the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny ED4 Single Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru by See-Saw. If you still don't know what See-Saw is, it's basically a pop duo with Chiaki Ishikawa and Yuki Kajiura, two of my favorite artists.

10/10 Seijaku wa Headphone no Naka (or the Headphone song as I used to call it) is one of See-Saw's most amazing songs! I'm sure it went hardly unnoticed due to the fact that it was a B-Side, which is quite a shame. I consider it to be even better than the Gundam SEED Destiny ED theme song Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru. It has a typical kajiuran melody with a beautiful piano part and a wonderful flute solo... I love it so much. Chiaki's voice is also a pure delight in this song (as usual!).

You really have to check it out here (I will be posting my piano cover soon):

Me playing Prototype on the Piano

Elfen Lied LucyHi everyone!
It's time for another piano cover. I've been raving on and on about the new Chiaki Ishikawa song for Gundam 00 lately (Prototype: Download full ED single here), so I decided to try doing it on the piano. It's been the most difficult song I've done yet. It usually takes me a couple of hours to cover a song, but for this one it took me about two days to do it right. So of course there's a couple of mistakes here and there, but I hope you'll like it anyway! You can download the mp3 of my piano version here. Give me some comments...

Crappy Anime Music at its best!!

Bloody AnimeOk,I stumbled upon this gem, and it's just too bad not to share. It's a video with a recap of all the performances at the Animelo Summer Live 2008 Concert. And let me tell you this, it's full of craptastic songs and awful live singing! At least use lipsynching if you can't sing to save your life. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit... Maybe it's because the sound quality is so bad, or maybe because there's just a few seconds of each performance. Even if the majority of the songs is quite bad, I still liked a couple of them.

New Gundam 00 season 2 ED - Chiaki Ishikawa

Here is the new Ending for the second season of Gundam 00. It's a song by Chiaki Ishikawa called Prototype. It's a nice song, but not quite as nice as what I usually expect from Chiaki Ishikawa, but I'm sure it will grow on me. Chiaki Ishikawa is one of my favorite anime singers, and she is a part of the awesome duo See-Saw, with no other than Yuki Kajiura. (My personal Goddess!!)
I also added some other anime OP and ED songs that Chiaki performed solo.

8.5/10 Gundam 00 season 2 ED (download full song here):



9/10 My favorite Chiaki Ishikawa song, the OP for Simou: Utsukushikereba sore de ii



9/10 The OP for Bokurano (Really good anime series!)was also a great song: Uninstall. Check it out!
