It has been a long time since I wrote the last post in this blog. There are many reasons, and the main one is that the quality ò AGM last year has reduced so much that I don't know what to introduce (0-2 reach the standard each month). Another reason is that I don't have much free time like the golden age 2008-2010 anymore, so maybe I have missed some good songs.
For those who're curious, these are some numbers:
- Total songs: 2
- AGM-C: 2
- Song from game: 1
- PG: 33
Just compare them with the last year or the older one and you will see how significantly the quality has went down (in my standard, of course).
The singer of this year is certainly Tomaya Nao with two emotional songs. In case you don't know, the singer of 2009 is Mizuki Nana and the ones of 2010 are Hanazawa Kana and azusa. Looking further into the past, the 2008 one is definitely Yui Makino in her golden age.
At first I don't think of making another video, but the free time in Lunar New Year had allowed me to do that. If I can make another video it maybe at this time of year.
This year, only 10 songs has been chosen. Most of them are PG, but still enjoyable as well. If you think of another good song that I have missed, please comment in this post.
2012 will be a challenging year for me. If I have some small wish, that will be I can still have free time to make another video next year.
That's all, time to enjoy!

Anime Game Song 2011 Review

Anime Game Song 2010 Review
So, it's this time again. Time for the review post of the whole year. It's hard to say I'm happy or not. Time goes by so fast. I'm getting older and forced to be older. Everything is getting older, even the cute singers we see now. Yeah, everything only has one time, but there are things that will never be worn out by time. They are art and the real emotion, and so now we're here to celebrate the eternity of the anime game songs.
It's a little cold night with light rain here. A good atmosphere to make this review post. I don't know where you live, maybe you're reading this in a snowy night or a muggy day. Well, wherever you are, just keep an open mind while reading this post.
For those who haven't read my previous year-review post, I recommend opening this to know more about my music taste and the statistic of last year which you may need in next part.
Now about the songs I have "hunted" this year, let's look at these numbers (if you don't know about these A, B, C, click here):
Total songs: 11
AGM-A: 1
AGM-B: 1
AGM-C: 9
Song from game: 4
PG: 48
As you can see, I really didn't enjoy the AGM much this year. Compared to last year's, it's such a backward step. The only consolation is the PG, but PG is just PG, it just can entertain me a bit in the long time waiting for the real good song comes out. Many new singers appear but very few of them can make song to remember and the old faces only want to cover their already well-known songs or make some new boring songs.
Of course I don't have any right to complain about those singers nor their music. I just feel sad for my love in anime music and for this blog, a "paradise" where I can hide my little self from the world sometimes. Things has changed, man.
Well, but just put that aside, now if you can read to this part, I proudly introduce you the best anime-game songs of 2010 video, the gem of all this whole year listening to 1000+ anime and game songs. It is split into 2 parts and only has 12 songs because I want to keep the quality good. I also want to give all my credit to those who make the wonderful songs and pictures I used to make this vid. This is made for relax and romance purpose, so if you are not in the mood, just watch it in another time. Now if you're ready, just enjoy it (if you read this post today, you're the first ones who watch it, I save it for you, anime music lovers):
For more fun, I won't put the list here, just watch it carefully and you will know. All can be downloaded in the download area or in AGM month posts. About the anime song covers this year, I will make a video for them if I have free time or just put the list in the other case.
Well the AGM December hasn't ended yet but I want to say goodbye to this year's AGM now. I hope I will enjoy AGM more next year.

AGM December 2010
Merry Christmas, everyone! Now we come to the end of 2010. I still have a lot of work to do and the final exam at the beginning of next year but I will try to make the review post for the whole year soon. However, we should finish the left work of this year first. This December hasn't ended yet, so this will be an "active post", the content will be updated until the very end.
My impression with this month's AGM is pretty good. Therefore, I wonder if I should reserve one or more entries in this year's top songs list. Moreover, there are still some expecting stuffs in the coming days.
Update 01/21/2011: Sorry for the delay, anyone! I have just finished my semester exam (in a so~so way). Now is the time for music. Since the last update, there are more stuffs coming, but the best ones are from C79, which also means we will have some electronica and dramatic songs in the list. Check new update at the positions: 3rd, 4th, 5th and the NON-AGM section.
1. stereopony - Chiisana Mahou
2. Hanazawa Kana - Kuchibue Jet
3. sister-A - Beautiful dreamer
4. Meramipop - A Sense Of Distance
5. Hotaru - ENG Dream
6. Hanazawa Kana - Koi no Shirushi
7. Blue drops - Kaeru Kara
SIDELINES:
- The album Bleach Concept Covers is really good. I prefer tracks: 2, 7, 10, 12. They are all already well-known songs, so I won't put them in the mainline. Here is track 7, a cover of the notable Life is like a boat:
- Track 2 of Bleach OP 13 Single (SID): Danro is quite impressive but it seems nothing related to the anime. You can download this song here.
- New single from Lia(Vail) doesn't impress me much. The style is so typical.NON-AGM:
- Nayuta (new name in this blog, right?) is one of the most promising voices of doujin music. Her voice is sweet, calm and smooth, much like Makino-chan. Her new song: "Structre" from Split Theory is good but not Game OST. You can download here.
- Our Chata has a new good relaxed song named "Akane-iro" from doujin album: bassy - Wonder Full World. I have put it in the playlist. Download it here.
The date for this post has been modified for the time being (originally 12/26/2010). I will change it back later.
