Well, it's already December now! Time goes by so fast, isn't it? Just a few weeks more and we will move into a new year. That time is also when I celebrate the first anniversary of this site. It's really a special event, so I will also make something special for this blog. In other word, there will be a special post to review the AGM - anime game music of this year and a mini contest voting if the time allows. Although now assignments and presentations is calling me, I will manage enough time to do it best. It's a promise!
Now, the main topic as usual. It seems that I have less ans less choices for songs
to introduce here. The situation is when it's March I had nearly 30 songs to pick out for a top ten, in June it was 10 for 5, and now it's just 3 for 3! That's not due to my fault, I always try not to miss any good, memorable new anime/game songs, but the quality of them is another issue. Another reason maybe that after listening to thousands of anime/game songs, now I can easily realize which song is for commercial use only, and which is for art/emotion. The commercial one will soon be forgotten after the series ends while the other can become eternal, only if its quality is also as great as its purpose. As a result, the standard to come into my AGM collection seems to be higher than before. However, as something that's inevitable, when the quantity goes down, the quality of my monthly top is also goes down. So please don't be disappointed if you don't find good song here. Please be patient, like me, waiting for a new wind of AGM.
One thing that can comforts me somehow is that even there's not many new good songs, but it's not that there's no good new songs to listen. This time is stereopony, Lil'b and May'n and two-thirds of them are Pop Shounen.
OST: DARKER THAN BLACK -Ryuusei no Gemini OP
Album/Single: Darker Than Black -Ryuusei no Gemini- OP Single - Tsukiakari no Michishirube
Released Date: November 4, 2009

Well, that's stereopony. At first time hearing of this name, I imagined it's a male rock band or pop band but it turned out to be a group of pretty girls playing Pop shounen song. Tsukiakari no Michishirube may not be as great as Hitohira no Hanabira, but still enough good to be at first place this month. The PV is really impressive, but Aimi's style is somehow Yui-like, isn't it?!?
OST: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood ED3 Single
Album/Single: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood ED3 Single - Tsunaida Te
Released Date: November 11, 2009

The series about two alchemist brothers is usually famous about its heroic songs. After Tobira no mukou he, Kesenai tsumi, I will, Melissa, Rewrite, Uso, Again...all good Pop Shounen, now we have Tsunaida Te with a more pop flavor.
OST: Gekijouban Macross F -Itsuwari no Utahime- Insert Songs
Album/Single: Gekijouban Macross F -Itsuwari no Utahime- Insert Songs Album - Universal Bunny
Released Date: November 25, 2009

I'm always easily moved by song like this: touching, gentle in a silent but haunting background. Though it's just a short piece, but this song shows that May'n is not only good at mysterious pop song but still nice when handling this particular style. So that's easy to understand why she is so popular in anime showbiz.
Not enough? Then here a bonus for you, a great new Christmas song from KOKIA, I think it will be played many times like a featured song of this year Christmas. Just listen to Christmas Eve's voice.
