Lastest album additions

Posted on March 26, 2013 by otakudes

These are the latest albums I’ve added to my iTunes. All were downloaded from iTunes USA or iTunes Japan.

Aira Mitsuki×Saori@destiny: ×~PARK OF THE SAFARI
Ikuzo Yoshi: 35 Shuunen Kinen Subete no Hito ni Arigatou
Saori@destiny: Domestic domain
capsule: Flash Best
the pillows: FLCL Original Sound Track NO.3
SCOOBIE DO: Kaze no Koibito/Akaneiro Ga Moeru Toki – EP
BRIGHT: LOVE-aruainokatachi-
Kyarypamyupamyu: Moshimoshiharajuku
Various Artists: Q Bar Present: Cocktail & Lounge
SHOW-YA: SHOW-YA/Twin Best
Ryusenkei: Tokyo Sniper
Dimitri from Paris: Tsukuyomi Opening Theme Neko Mimi Mode Single

I’ve seen the cover for Kyarypamyupamyu’s album many times but I never imagined buying it. That was before I developed a appreciation for Japanese electronic music. I love the SCOOBIE DO’s ending to Gungrave. Same goes for the pillow songs from FLCL.

Hulu: A painful way to watch anime

Posted on March 26, 2013 by otakudes

Nothing is for free. You’ll be tortured putting up with endless commercials and poor video quality. Why doesn’t Funimation have their own video site instead of outsourcing to Hulu? I absolutely hate Hulu.

Akari Mizunashi by sabidrawsandreblaws

Someone on tumblr was kind enough to draw Akari Mizunashi in chibi form at my request. I love the scenery and character design in Aria. I also love the mellow music that sets the mood of the show.

Yakumo Tatsu Original Soundtrack

Posted on January 25, 2013 by otakudes

Yakumo Tatsu is better known as Eight Clouds Rising. I wanted this soundtrack for Saori Ishizuka’s Harukanaru Ohokoku. I love this song! The soundtrack comes with the full version. I bought it used from Amazon Japan and it was hard to find. The whole soundtrack is amazing. Most are powerful orchestral pieces. They definitely give the anime a big movie feel. One song is a beautiful opera sung in Japanese.

I scanned the artwork and added it to my iTunes and playlist.

Watching Crunchyroll on my 50″ TV

Mac Mini to TV

I have my Mac Mini hooked up to my TV using the HDMI cable. I had to tweak the video and audio settings on the Mac to match my TV. I use a wireless mouse as my remote control.
