SHORT REVIEW:

• Parallel Hearts - OP: One of the most wanted single of the month, and it's worth. Yuki Kajiura quality, that's enough.
• Binkan no Fuukei (Sensitive Scenery): serenity, smooth, mellow, peaceful and...yeah, a great song of Ceui.
• Asu he - Sora iro no Tegami (Tomorrow - A Sky-Blue Letter): Suara's new single doesn't impress me much. I think she's best at profound ballads, like this one.
• Alone: Hitomi's voice in this very light, soothing song seem to be more girlful than her other songs (or it's just my feeling?). The gentle guitar riff throughout the song really calm me.
• Aitaiyo (I want to meet you): A typical ballad of Sachi Tainaka. Her special voice is still the most remarkable point.
• Keruto no Umi de (In Celtic sea): Speaking of Amuri character songs, we just think of brilliant ones of Makino-san but there's also another nice song in the third volume: this mellow, calm and fantasy ballad vocal by Momoko Saitou, Makino-san and Michiru Aizawa. It's really one of my favorite kinds of AGM!
• Style - ED2: Yeah, I have mistaken to ignore this one, just enjoy this groovy light pop song.
• Koi Kogarete Mita Yume (The dream which saw longing for love) - ED: Such a ballad song. Just calm down and listen to this profound ballad.
• Karma - OP: Kokia and New Age in a darkly-tuned, emotive song. It may sound odd at first but really worth-listening.
• Niji (Rainbow): Another song from Kobukuro.
• Summer Rain - OP: Smooth background. Pretty listenable.
• Future Stream - OP: A well tuned pop song, enough for a debut single.
• Le ciel bleu (Blue Sky): Really a soothing song, from vocal to melody.
• September 1st: Just as the title of the single (Style), I can see some stylish in this song.
• Wasurenaide (Don't forget) - ED2: An average ballad from Suara.
• Oblivious - ED: Feel bored with ballad? Let's try this Yuki Kajiura song: a combination of epic and NewAge.
• Mirai no Monogatari (The story of future) - OP: I just wonder why there are many good songs in visual novel game, such as this one.
• Cherry: Very relaxing and peaceful ballad.
• Shunkan Spline (Instantaneous Spline) - OP: A listenable pop song.
• Aishiteru (Love Story) - ED: Slow and gentle ballad for a silent night.
• Shiawase no Iro (Color of Happiness) - ED: A light and relaxing song with some bagpipes playing.
• Glass no Hana (Glass Flower): Mizuki-san again in a light and very emotive ballad song. I also love the saxophone playing starting from 2:38.
• Namida no Kakera (The fragments of tear) - ED: Very peaceful ballad song, listen to it when you need some calmness.
• Papiliones - OP: Though the opening part is somehow boring, the remaining one is quite amazing, especially the excellent instrumental playing. You can also find some nice instrumental songs in this game's soundtrack, as Ketsui, Daichi no Uta, Danshou...
• Aoi Kasa (Blue Umbrella): A beautiful ballad song with a very nice, emotive chorus.
• Nanayaduki (Seven Moon Nights): Another ambient ballad.
• Planetarium: Beside the stylish, mysterious pop songs, Suga Shikao also has many quiet, calm ballad songs, such as this one.
• White Album: A light and refreshing song, should be played in a quiet rainy season's twilight.
• Ai no Zuellni (Zuellni of Love) - ED2: Another great epic song from Chrome Shelled! I just upload the Leerin Marfes version, though the two other vers are also good.
• Evergreen - ED: A very nice, emotive song. Good vocal!
• Paranoia: We can feel the humid wind from her songs, like this one. Very smooth song.
• Blue moon: An ambient song. Fairly relaxing.
• Mawari Meguru (Rotation around) - ED: Nice ambient song.

AGM Tracker: 21 March - > 27 March, 2009

First of all, I must say that this is the last of all, I won't do this kind of post anymore. To tell you the truth, I really don't have time to breath out with all my homework and housework! So, this is my farewell post!

Shocked, huh? ^^Just kidding! My love on AGM is still bigger than my huge pile of exercises and assignments. However, there's some truth in that sudden declaration, I won't make an AGM Tracker post at every Friday. Instead,I will make a monthly tracker, but that doesn't mean there will be only a post by the end of every month. I will update that post at anytime I find a nice new song (very randomly). In general, there'll be some changes and you will know more about it next month.

This week is so so. I still find some really nice songs, but it's just the result of checking more songs than usual. In other words, my luck ratio to find a good song is not very high ( or I've become more fastidious, haven't I?)

Okay, that's enough. Now is the main part:

1. Harari, hirari - Sona

• Anime: Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~MaiHitoyo~ (ED)
• Genre: Smooth/Traditional
• Released at: August 15, 2006
• Rank: B+
• Download: Mediafire

Just like a river's flow, this song gives us a very smooth and peaceful feeling constantly from the beginning to the end. The melody is really beautiful and the singing voice has no point complaining.

2. Sing a Song - Hideki & Shimbo (Character)

• Anime: Chobits (OST)
• Genre: Pop/Party
• Released at: February 17, 2004
• Rank: C+
• Download: Mediafire

This song sounds like an old style pop song. I think it suits most with a small party in twilight.

---

3. Standard Game - Shiraishi Minoru & Takahashi Shin'ya

• Anime: Ga-rei Zero (OST)
• Genre: Pop
• Released at: March 25, 2009
• Rank: C
• Download: Mediafire

Usually does this kind of music, which gives listener a dreamlike, *morning rain* ambiance, get a high rank in my playlist. This song is also good, and you can easily love it after ignoring some small detail.

4. Otome no Colourful na Inori - Hanazawa Kana

• Anime: Asu no yoichi (OST)
• Genre: Pop Shoujo
• Released at: March 25, 2009
• Rank: C
• Download: Mediafire

This song is very cute, but it's also a limitation 'cause there're many anti-girlful childish song listeners.

---

5. Naked Flower - Romi Paku

• Anime: Murder princess (ED)
• Genre: Pop/Epic
• Released at: March 12, 2007
• Rank: C
• Download: Mediafire

It sounds like a Yuuka's Gundam Song, right? Good song.

---

6. Ao sora ni kuchiduke tara - Yuumao

• Anime: Sola (OST)
• Genre: Ballad/Light
• Released at: August 8, 2007
• Rank:C
• Download:Mediafire

Yuumao again, this is also a good light thinking song from her.

---

7. Chikaigoto ~Sukoshi Dake Mou Ichido~ - IKU

• Anime: To aru Majutsu no Index (ED2)
• Genre: Pop
• Released at: February 25, 2009

• Download: Mediafire

This song is quite relaxing, especially the chorus.

The rank may change in future. Read this...

AGM Tracker: 14 March - 20 March, 2009

This week could have been a very silent week. However, at last minute, Shugo Chara Character Song Album saved the day. The Album has 10 tracks, but I just can pick out 4 from them to introduce in this post. They are really good songs, but for the time of listening is not enough, they are all in C-rank. Beside that, we have some nice songs from Yuumao and Yui Makino, and a song from Sony game Mugen Kairou. So, now we have total 8 songs to listen. Isn't it great? Just enjoy weekend!

1. Michishirube (Post sign) - Yuumao
- Anime: Kashimashi: Girl meets girl (ED)
- Genre: Light Ballad
- Released Date: January 25, 2006
- Rank: B
- Download: Mediafire

A very typical anime ending song: light, relaxing and a bit thinking. This nice slow ballad also gives us a tender and peaceful feeling, and is a good choice to listen to when you need some unwinding.

---

2. Clubhouse Sandwich - Yuumao
- Anime:Genshiken 2 (ED)
- Genre: Pop/Smooth
- Released Date: November 7, 2007
- Rank: B
- Download: Mediafire

Another awesome song from Yuumao, more adorable to her if we know the lyrics was written by herself. The ambience is very pure and smooth. A bit nostalgic emotion makes it more noteworthy.

---

3. Moroi Mirai Kirai - Yui Makino
- Anime: Sora o Kakeru Shoujo (OST)
- Genre: Smooth Pop
- Released Date: March 11, 2009
- Rank: C+
- Download: Mediafire
This song is very catchy, and it's ultra smooth by the effect of Makino-san's voice and the tune.

---

4. Endless Corridor - Karen
- Game: Mugen kairou
- Genre: Ballad
- Released Date: February 27, 2009
- Rank: C+
- Download: Mediafire
The opening makes me feel kinda creepy, it reminds me of a very dreadful flash game named "The Haunted House", and I wondered if this game is that kind. However, it's just a puzzle 2D game. Regardless of those things, this is a good and emotive song.

---

5. Blue Moon - Mizuki Nana
- Anime: Shugo Chara (OST)
- Genre: Ballad
- Released Date: March 18, 2009
- Rank: C

This song is more thoughtful, and sounds like her "Shin Ai".

---

6. Heartful Song - Mizuki Nana
- Anime: Shugo Chara (OST)
- Genre: Ballad
- Released Date: March 18, 2009
- Rank: C
- Download: Mediafire
Not as sad and serious as the previous song, this song is more soaring and relaxing.

---

7. Your Birthday - Mizuki Nana
- Anime: Shugo Chara (OST)
- Genre: Pop
- Released Date: March 18, 2009
- Rank: C
- Download: Mediafire
A light pop song, which is pretty pleasant to hear.

8.Yume no Tsubomi - Mizuki Nana
- Anime: Shugo Chara (OST)
- Genre: Ballad/Night

Mizuki Nana 's voice in this short song is really cute, and Makino-like. It combines with the background harmonious violin playing try to bring the listener a silent night's feeling.

AGM Tracker: 07 March - 13 March, 2009

This is the second week of this tracker. In this week, I will add the rank for each song. It will be ranked from C- to A+. However, there is hardly any song that can get A rank in its first week, so a B+ rank may be the highest rank a song in this series of posts can reach.

A good AGM song is more difficult to find in these days: I pay much time and luck to find one that I never listen to. Therefore, there will be some weeks that this tracker doesn't work. In that case, I will announce on Wednesday. Sorry for these inconvenience, but I have less free time in this season.

Anyway, just forget all those uninspiring things and enjoy these 5 nice songs,and remember that they are only the newest songs in my AGM world.

1. Yasashii Uso (Gentle Lies) - Chrome Shelled
Anime: Koukaku no Regios (ED)
Genre: Pop/Epic
Released at: February 4, 2009
Rank: B+

Well, this is really one of most appreciated songs in this season, you can find that in many other anime music blogs. The melody is really nice and epic, the vocalist is beyond good and it's very pleasant to listen the prelude.There're many versions of this songs, but I like the Felil Loss version most.

---

2. Drawing days - Splay

AGM Tracker: 27 Feb - 06 March, 2009

First, I must say that this is not a post to review latest songs, it just a post in which I list the latest noticeable anime songs in my AGM world. I won't talk much about song due to my poor music knowledge and vocabulary.

We have 5 noticeable songs in this week, most of them are light and thoghtful songs. I will list them in order of my ranking.

1. Trust you - Yuna Ito
Anime: Gundam 00 Season 2 (ED)
Genre: Ballad
Released at: March 4, 2009
Download: Mediafire

I have known this song for one month but the single is just officially released in this week. It is really a beautiful ballad sung by a beautiful female voice. After 'Miss you", now in "Trust you", Yuna Ito keep showing how great she is at this sweet ballad style. I think there's no song that can compare with it in this week.

---

2. Sora wa Shoujo no Tomodachisa - Yui Makino & MAKO & Endou Ayu
Anime: Sora o Kakeru Shoujo (ED)
Genre: Pop Shoujo
Released at: February 4, 2009
Download: Mediafire

Also known as Uchuu wa Shoujo no Tomodachi, this is really a cute and catchy song.

---

3. Farewell song - Lia
Anime: AIR (ED)
Genre: Pop
Released at: May 23, 2006
Download: Mediafire

I just notice this song when I watch AIR these days(I'm not an anime fan, u know?). I think it's inspiring and refreshing.

---

4. Sky high - The Gospellers
Anime: Nodame Cantabile Paris Hen (OP)
Genre: Pop
Released at: November 12, 2008
Download: Mediafire

Like many songs from Nodame Cantabile, this song gives listener an orchestral feeling. The melody is somehow unnatural but nice overall.

---

5. Garnet - Hanako Oku
Anime: Toki wo kakeru Shoujo (ED)
Genre: Ballad
Released at: July 12, 2006
Download: Mediafire

This song has no excellent point, but it suits my taste well. The song is tranquil and gives us a bit melancholy.
