Yellow Zebra, dissolved

First of all, go through this page (Google Translate if you wanna know the gist of it - don't worry, it makes sense most of the time; heck, even the url gave it away).


So with this, I guess the rumour that I heard of this year being the last M1 was true after all.

Now to be honest I've only watched a couple of the M1 series video, and even then, I hadn't then know that they were produced by Yellow Zebra. But the circle itself, on the other hand...

Seize the day, boys

I sincerely believe that anyone who is really into something - who is really passionate about it - and who knows what they are doing, no matter how mediocre (or poor) the starting is, should be encouraged.

Or at the very least, stop giving them the evil eyes or snide remarks just because they're doing something different. Or are you jealous because you can't do the same thing, mm?

Jrock no Tamashii 2

After the last concert I went way back in March, I decided to go again to another one: this time, it's Jrock no Tamashii 2, featuring bands which does - what else - Japanese music, with an emphasis on the heavy sound of rock (and the occasional metal).

The concert was last Sunday, and I somewhat got sidetracked while writing this - you know, the usual.

Massive Attack

Just doing a short post to get around my problem of not being able to fall asleep early enough. Probably I'm not making much sense, but I tried.


Massive Attack. Now, how could I be drawn to these duo (then trio) that pioneered the Trip-hop genre, way back in their town in Bristol, when I was into fast-sounding rock and metal music?

The truth was, way back in 2005, I found a review in magazine about the band, and I thought, 'wow, that's a pretty cool name for a band. And dark trip-hop sound? I wonder if it is as good as it sounds...'

The Big Four Of Touhou Metal/Rock Arrangement

Awww yeahhhh. Nice guitar (among other things)


Or should I say the Big Five? Blame me and my indecisiveness to pick the best out of all those circles...

Musing and ranting on the Touhou series: the fanbase, the future, and some case studies of similar series

Title says it all.

After the last post which seems pretty much to concur with those who don't really like the series('s fanbase), let's now take a closer look at the issue:


(Incoming wall of text below: this will be partly ranting, partly serious discussion, and contain items which only the Touhou fans could understand/would care to read)

Motto Loveressive & Concerto of the Scarlet Elements

So... even with Reitaisai 8 being cancelled, we still get some CDs being released by some circles (by the way, from what I heard, the event is being forwarded to 8th of May. I wonder if Kami no Pocky will go to Japan again this time around - do you plan to do so?)

I've only found 2 Reitaisai album on the interweb so far. I don't know about the other releases; maybe I should search for the rest later.

Global Battle Of The Band (and Touhou music thingie)

A few days ago, I went to perhaps my first concert (the ones that they do in uni/public place doesn't really count). And I must say that it was quite exciting - I certainly wouldn't mind going to these kind of events any time in the future. If they are good concerts, I mean.


Pretentious hipsters event much? Hell I dunno, but at least the bands are not the pretty-faced boybands with sucky songs and pretentious fans, heh.

Deaf to all but the (Touhou) Song!


I've been meaning to post this for a long time, but I kinda forgotten all about it until just now.

So, lately I've been listening to pretty much Touhou arrangement, listening to practically nothing else (well, nothing new anyway - besides the arrangements, I've been going through some older stuff that I've kept in my hard disc as well).

And when it comes to Touhou arrangement - as with the other music that I listen to - I have a rather unsophisticated taste, which you would see in a short while:
