Fan Cover of Fairytale by Kalafina

Back in January, I did a piano cover of Fairytale, the kalafina theme song for the sixth Kara no Kyoukai movie. A month ago I received a message on my Youtube Channel from xFukairix telling me she had made a cover of Fairytale using my piano cover. I felt very honored that someone would use one of my piano covers to do a cover of their own, especially one this good! So thank you very much xFukairix for the lovely cover version of Fairytale, and if someone ever wants to use one my piano tracks to record a song, you're welcome! All I ask in return is that you mention my blog in the video description...

Download the mp3 version of my Fairytale piano cover here.

9/10 I really enjoyed listening to xFukairix's version of Fairytale! Her voice is really amazing and pure. It's a really hard song to master, but she managed to do a pretty good job. Her pronunciation is perfect, and despite some places where her voice is a little out of tune, her singing sounds very professional. I can't wait to hear more anime song covers from her.

In the meantime check out her version of Fairytale:

Fan Cover of Moon on The Water - From the Beck Anime

It's been a long time since I showcased some new talents. There are a lot of amazing anime song covers out there, just waiting to be discovered! Luckily for me, I didn't have to go very far for this one. Indeed, Taka is a very active member of the Ongaku community and Forums. Here's the amazing cover he did of the Beck song, Moon on The Water:

Full moon waves by TakaB

9/10 His rendition of Moon on The Water is near-perfect. The quality of his voice is just astounding. It has a beautiful and warm feel to it and I really love the vibratos... In my opinion, it's much better than the original versions of the songs (of course the Engrish didn't really help, for example in one version you can clearly hear "what a fuel" instead of "what a fool" LOL).

The Beck OSTs have 3 versions of Moon on The Water, one by Tanaka Koyuki & Minami Maho, another one by THE Dying Breed Feat. Tanaka Koyuki and the last one by BEAT CRUSADERS (the best one).

Check out the original songs after the jump!

Pandora Hearts Song Cover by Allexiel

Last week, I told you about the amazing new song Yuki Kajiura composed for the Pandora Hearts trailer (download it here). Allexiel, a very good friend of mine from FictionJunction.be just released his own version of the song. It's an amazing instrumental version. He's so talented, I don't know how he did that in such a short time!

You can download his instrumental version here.

And here are the lyrics of the song:

Piano Sheets for Yozakura Quartet OP - JUST TUNE by Savage Genius

I've always had a soft spot for Savage Genius, ever since I heard their OP theme song for Erementar Gerad, Forever. I thought they would just turn out to be a one hit wonder group, but boy was I wrong! Their latest song, JUST TUNE from the Yozakura Quartet anime is really addictive. It's one of my favorite OP theme songs from the past anime season. Download the piano sheets for JUST TUNE here.

9/10 Check out this awesome piano cover of JUST TUNE, the guy is so talented!

Piano Sheets for Clannad After Story OP - Toki o Kizamu Uta

One of my favorite OP songs from the last anime season was Toki o Kizamu Uta by Lia from the Clannad After Story Anime (Download the OP single here). The piano part is incredibly beautiful in this song, so I was really happy to find the piano sheets for it. Download the piano sheets here.

9/10 Here's an awesome piano cover I found of the song. You really have to check this out:

Uglay'n/Sheryl Nome Songs - Fan Works

I'm not sure if this post is to showcase other talents or just a lame excuse for another picture of the talented yet facially challenged Uglay'n, sorry May'n. I guess I choose the former... By the way, if you have amazing anime fan works that you'd like me to review and post on my blog, you're welcome to submit them to me...

Here are some amazing May'n covers I found surfing on Youtube. What ratings would you give them? Write it down in the comment sections...







10/10 The first one is a cover of the awesome song Nyan Nyan Service Medley with an electric guitar. The guy is real pro, it's quite impressive! You have to check it out:


9/10 The second one is a drum cover of Northern Cross by May'n. It's also really impressive. I'd love to play the drums...


After the cut, more covers, this time singing ones...

8.5/10 A sweet cover of Northern Cross again by May'n. Too bad it's the short version, but the girl has a really sweet voice. And she does a great job! That song is so hard to sing, congrats...



8.5/10 Another nice singing cover, this time of the beautiful Diamond Crevasse! Apparently this one is a "HUGE nut for Macross Frontier" as she puts it, and she also cosplays Sheryl Nome. Not only does she look awesome as Sheryl, but her singing voice is perfect as well! Love it...

Guitar, Piano and Violon Remix of Lion (Macross Frontier)

Let's start the day with a roar!
The last OP from Macross Frontier was a great song from Yoko Kanno, the queen of anime music. It's one of those songs I keep listening to over and over again.
I love it so much that I wanted to listen to other people's version of it. And a few of them were quite interesting, so I thought I should share...

10/10 Just as a reminder here's the original version sung by May'n and Megumi Nakajima. (And btw if someone finds the live version, please send me the link)

8/10 This next one is a pretty cool version with a Guitar. Too bad the guy doesn't move that much...

9/10 This one is really really awesome! It's a piano version of Lion. Being myself a pianist, I can't help being impressed.

8.5/10 And the last one is a violin version. Check it out!
