Clare's Top 5 Game songs
Hi, I am Back to the blog again. Before i share about my favorite anime songs , I would like to share my favorite game songs as I have lots of anime songs I like and very hard for me to decide.
5. Sora no Kiseki FC / Hoshi no Arika
The game is a normal rpg with anime style. It's not awesome or anything but I love the game and really longing for part 2 n part 3 in english version. The song is really matched with the story because of the lyrics. It really touched my heart after I played the game.
4. Tales of Vesperia / Ring a bell
I'd never played the game until now but I love the song. So no comment about the game. However, I love the lyrics and music.
3. hack//G.U / Gentle hands
I love this game so veryyyyyyyyyy much. I played all of hack//G.U series which is total of three.
Maybe the MC very similar to Sasuke from Naruto XDD. Its also rpg game and they have anime ova sequel of the game but only one so far :(. Enjoy the song.
2. Sora no Kiseki / Harmonia
I'm not sure why I like this song. I guess the lyrics also since i listen songs only if I like the lyrics and music. I love the singer voice and the way she sang also.
1. Final Fantasy Type 0 / Zero
Do I even need to explain why I love this song? Its really one of the best game songs I've ever heard. I am so into the song and its awesome. I am not expert at music but one thing for sure is its really really nice song. And the characters and game play thumbs up. The story wise also quite different from usual rpg game. Go play the game and listen this song even nicer.
This will be all for now. For my fav anime songs very hard for me. For me songs lyrics must be nice and the background music also must be good and the vocal also. If not then I normally don't listen. the song must touch my heart either rock or pop or punk. Hope you enjoy my post. See you again.

Anthony's Weekly Jpop Goodness: "Love Phantom"
Song of the week: "Love Phantom" by B'z
Again, I have not done anything for two weeks worth of Jpop reviews thanks to last week's AFA and the addicting Final Fantasy Reishiki. So I'll just slap in another one of my favorite songs here.
In my Gaming Shit blogpost months ago, I mentioned that my IGN in various MMORPGs and other online games is LovePhantom.
(Last used in Lucent Heart pre-OB, I'm currently not playing MMORPGs since I need to focus on this fucking final year)
As you can clearly see, I got the name from one of B'z songs that is the catchiest, and undoubtedly one of the most memorable songs in Japanese music history.
Released in 1995, "Love Phantom" became an instant hit in Japan and was popular among teenagers and adults alike.
It was Japan's song of the year 1995, and was the number one song in Japanese karaokes for 2 years straight, 1995-1996.
Like many other B'z mega hits, Love Phantom is now considered a real classic track, and there are still tons of vocalists challenging themselves by trying to sing it perfectly.
Just look at the sheer number of Love Phantom-based AMVs. It is that fucking popular.
In case if you are wondering, "Anthony, why did you choose a picture of Mio drenched in rain here?"
This is the answer: B'z LIVE-GYM 2000, the legendary "Love Phantom" performance in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Anthony's Weekly Jpop Goodness: "FIREWORKS"
Song of the week: "FIREWORKS" by EXILE
Woops, I was carried away with the newly released Final Fantasy Reishiki and delayed writing this for three days. Oh well...
Let's skip on my top 10 Jpop list because I want to introduce you to one of the catchiest Japanese songs I have ever heard in my whole life.
It's EXILE's "FIREWORKS", no, Katy Perry is not Japanese.
To be fair, every song that has a combination of fucking awesome shamisen and flute -or generally any traditional instruments- with modern genre of music such as RnB, has to be ungodly catchy.
Also, Avex banned all full PVs of their artist in youtube, that's why you can only find short PVs there. I gave another link above so check that one out for the full version.
"The Hurricane -FIREWORKS-" was released in summer 2009, and it was the second EXILE single after they merged with their brother group "J-soul Brothers", becoming a 14 member group. At that point of time, they managed to expand their repertoire by trying to include J Soul Brothers tendency to do more aggressive hip-hop songs and rap. FIREWORKS is one shining example.

Anthony's Weekly Jpop Goodness: "Believer"
Song of the week: "Believer" by BACK-ON
On to the 2nd in my top 10 Jpop list, we have "Believer", one of the most underrated songs from one of the most underrated bands in today's mainstream Jpop. I can't find any stereo version of this song in youtube, and I'm so lazy to upload mine (lol it's in my HDD and my HDD is really far from me now and I'm currently enjoying my time on the couch) so please bear with it.
"Believer" is the B-side of "Chain", BACK-ON's major debut single in 2006 that was used as the first opening theme of Air Gear's anime.
Until now, I still think it should be a double A-side single, or even better, Believer should be used as Air Gear's OP and the single's A-side and instead of Chain!
Never mind the video tagline, Believer was never used as Air-Gear themesong.

Anthony's Weekly Jpop Goodness: "DANGAN"
Song of the week: "DANGAN" by B'z
Anthony returns with a weekly Jpop review. There will be a certain Japanese song covered every week with a short review, lyrics and translation.
If you have read my previous Q&A corner "Jpop Shit", you would know by now that B'z is my favorite artist.
In the top 10 list that I have made back then, the number one song was titled "DANGAN", or "Bullet" in English.
Released in 2007 in a special Extended Play album, "DANGAN" (first video) is a remake of the 1998 "Samayoeru Aoi Dangan" / Wandering Blue Bullet (second video) with more emphasis on rock instead of synth works.

Student Week 2011 Epilogue
AMCC's booth for Student Week 2011 was a huge success. Our booth had effectively the most club members coming down to support and help out. For many, i am also sure we had the most outstanding booth and this would not have been possible without everyones support.
Here is a big thank you to everyone, both members and random passer-bys, whom dropped by our booth and visited during Student Week!!
Anthony's top 5 AniSong
<rant>
Here's a little rant before I start this post....
Seriously, what the fuck happened to anime music nowadays? Is this the so-called devolution?
I'm not saying that anime music past 2008 sucks, it's just that there are too many corny female songs and shit they don't pay attention to the overall balance of the music anymore, just haremhamrehamreaharemmoemeomoemeomoebllaaaaaaaaargh
and hundreds of punk rock bands were asked to do anime songs? Yeah right...
