Welcome back to our usual review post. It's sad to say that the pageview in these days has gone so low. Maybe that's our fault, for being lazy at writing new post. However, something good for AGM has happened. It's very accidental and lucky that last night I turned on Animax channel and found out that a brand new musical program has begun.
That show calls Animax Musix: Link to the world, which performs many good anime songs from famous anime singers. The show last night is just the first episode. There are four singers in this show, but the singers whom I consider that they are good anime singers are FictionJunction Yuuka, and May'n (May Nakabayashi). Speaking of reputation, Yuuka must be far better than May, but the things happened in that show was really a contrast. Yuuka's performance was really poor, she sang her famous song Akatsuki no kuruma in such a brassy and harsh voice that if I hadn't watched the instruction before, I would have thought that she was an amateur.(yup, her appearance in this show was also not cool). In another sequence, May'n appeared at the last part of the show with a shiny and sexy appearance. Frankly speaking, I really didn't get interested in her songs much, but I must admit that she was the star of this show. It's really unfair when comparing the appearance without regarding of the age, but I think that a singer should be well prepared before standing on the stage and take more care of her image. All right, this is really nothing, and I hope that I will see Yuuka in a better appearance because anyway, she's one of my favorite AGM singers.
Well, I have talked things off topic too much, haven't I? Now we should go to the main part of this post. October's Anime- Game Music (AGM) is not bad, at least it is better than those in previous months. We also welcome the comeback of two famous AGM singers- Chiaki Ishikawa and Yui Makino in the top. Even there are not very excellent songs we can believe the situation will be brighter in next time. The trend of this month's AGM is ballad and thoughtfulness but there's also an upbeat song from Eclipse girlish band. The video is unavailable due to a copyright claim by some company, however I will upload them to imeem soon.

I've never played this game but I can guess it relates to space and star from the cover image. You can also feel the vast and dark feeling of space from its night-time opening. But the best part of this song is its melody and emotion: not only open-minded and high-faluting but also thoughtful and profound. Therefore, even when I don't like Itou's voice much, I must admit that it's really a good song and deserves this month's top.

If you feel tired with this harsh life and need a cure for your mind, then just listen to Makino-san. Her voice is really angel-like and her music is made in heaven( a bit exaggerating, lol). However, this lullaby-like song is just so so and her voice in this song is not as sweet as usual. That's the reason I just put this cover song in the second place. I hope she soon regain her divinity, as in her previous great albums.

I've found some good songs in Chiaki's new album but the only one from anime is this song. It has a distant and sadly epic melody and was tuned in an old way. Though this song is old, I think it's a memorable song and it's good that Chiaki has it in this album.
OST: Kampfer OP Single

Another song with "night-time feeling". The melody and feeling are both good, the only problem is Minami's singing voice, I think she should be more calm and emotive to take the listener's emotion.
OST: Basquash ED2
Album/Single: Basquash! Eclipse Debut Album "IDOL ATTACK!"
Released Date: September 16, 2009

The only upbeat song in this month's top. It's really energetic, stimulating and listenable song but I think it lack something to become more noticeable, maybe because our singer's flavor is too girlish and childish?
