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.

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.

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!!

Chris's list of Top 5 Anime songs (which seems to be a list of top 5 gundam anime song)

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...

Heya~
Siling here. Just a head's up, I'm not that much of a gamer, nor do I have the extensive anime network to actually share with everyone. So most of what I'll be putting here will be RANDOM STUFF.
Well, now that the warning is given, here's what I heard about recently:

Moving Neko(Cat) Ears!!!

Everyone should know the infamous cat ears right? (Certain anime that I never remember the names...)
Well, some japanese company actually made them!
http://www.tgdaily.com/unbalanced/55785-cat-ears-respond-to-the-wearers-thoughts

It's called necomini.
It actually reacts whether you're concentrating (ears upright) or relaxed (ears down) or even both (moving)!
Looks like cosplayers can use them now, too bad they're only out end of next year.

Well, that's all for today's random stuff.
Seeya =3

Hi all.
Siling here. Sorry to take so long about putting them up, but here they are!
Our logo and mascots!


The demon is Yuu 悠, which should mean leisure.
The angel is Ri 理, which is reason.
Ultimately, our two mascots together show that we have a balance for our hobbies.
Reasonable leisure. (We are still students after all =3)

P.S. Yes, I understand riyuu 理由 (also means reason) together doesn't mean what I said above. But then, luckily they are two separate mascots, ne?

This picture defines the Spring season for me =D

Following in the footsteps of a really good winter season, the spring season did pale in comparison which was expected. However, there were a few diamonds amidst the junk and even a contender for anime of the season!!!! I still had Gosick to follow as well.
My habit each season is to watch around 3-4 episodes of all the animes each season that appeal to me and thereafter decide on which is worth the time to follow. I hope my impression on the shows serve as a guidiance for recommendations for those who did not follow anime seasons closely due to:

1)Preferring to watch animes all at once instead of weekly
2)Awaiting recommendations
3)Only watch Naruto/Bleach

Good Day,

Some AMCC members will be cosplaying at the upcoming Shine Festival Cosmo Youth Parade this Saturday (2nd July) which starts at 5pm. The venue would start at Orchard Central and all cosplayers would make their way to *Scape. More details can be found at http://www.mascotparade.org/

Those whom are interested to come and lend support or just look at cosplays can contact me if you guys want to meet up.

Thanks and happy holidays.
