I’m not usually into straight pop songs but there’s something about Ikura’s (lead singer) voice that melts in my ears. I don’t know if it’s the way Ayase (producer) manipulates a voice synthesizer but Ikura’s FIRST TAKE performance leads me to believe it’s her natural voice.

Happy 10th Anniversary to LiSA!!!

I’m sure many of you know her from various anime OPs, especially with the single “Gurenge” from Demon Slayer which skyrocketed her popularity.

LiSA has been around for very long and has established herself long before Demon Slayer…

I bought some of her live performances in BD and she really has this synergy and charisma with the crowd. You can tell she’s very passionate and that she loves what she does. It also helps that she’s got one powerful voice!

So, congrats to her and hopefully some of you here that don’t know about her by chance can get into her music…

Some of my go-to favs:

now and future
ROCK-mode
ADAMAS
Shirushi Live Abema TV Version
homura From THE FIRST TAKE
紅蓮華 / Gurenge From THE FIRST TAKE

Latest release…LADYBUG

Well I was caught off guard today…did not know this was going to be released so soon! I’m not the only one waiting for this, am I?

Managed to watch a bit of Demon Slayer Mugen Train and I am reminded of just how all over the place things are with that series. Ranges from slapstick to sweet to suspense to horror to creepy to drama all within the same few minutes.

The animation is top level. I was watching a download on my table and it downloaded as an English sub so I only watched a little of it.

Demon Slayer does best when it sticks to one thematic element and builds off it.

I listened to why@doll and wasuta(world standard) their music’s are very interesting to me、been binging them for awhile now、especially steady by why@doll and platonic girl by wasuta、i also found this

The lyric is basically he wants to get out of bed and pee but the weather is too cold to do so、their music are great and the lyrics are interesting、my other favourite from this band is ‘nihon no kome wa sekai ichi’
