T.M. Revolution: Such powerful vocals!

-

I think the first time I ever heard T.M. Revolution was when he sang "Heart of Sword" for the Rurouni Kenshin series. I recall getting really addicted to that song. So recently, I had the pleasure of hearing T.M. Revolution make a comeback in the anime series once again when I heard the anime Soul Eater's 1st opening song, "Resonance."
OMG, it sounded so amazing, my ears were very happy that day! I think that the opening song of an anime is also vitally important because one of the reasons why I stuck to watching Soul Eater is because it had such an amazing opening song (I thought to myself, this song is great, the anime must be too! lol) and that they used the freakin' legend, T.M. Revolution!!! Can't get any better than that!

T.M. Revolution, aka Nishikawa Takanori is a Jpop/Jrock singer and actor in Japan who is immensely popular because of his song work on so many popular anime and his futuristic, updated, and fashionable image. I believe that his main song genre is technopop and Jrock, both in which he alternates between. His vocals are very versitile as he also sings ballads.

T.M. is also part of a band called Abingdon Boys School where he provides the main vocals.

I love his music because all his songs have a distinct powerful energy that I don't see in many other Japanese artists. His voice has great strength and heart and I can always feel beautiful emotion when he sings. I'm also a fan of his 'voice rolling'? I'm not sure what the technical term is but I think T.M. Revolution is THE master of it. ^^

Here's a few of his songs that I fell in love with.

Soul Eater 1st opening, "Resonance" by T.M. Revolution

"Howling" by Abingdon Boys School

If you haven't listened to him yet, you should because he's an amazing technopop/Jrock artist and his music is fun, powerful, and most of all, full of energy! :D

Why does Lightning look so different in FFXIII Lightning Returns? [SPOILERS-!]

I finally finished the game Lightning Returns recently and zomg, why does her face look so different?  I mean, she looks like she got plastic surgery. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I am not criticizing the game in its entirety.  This is solely about the change in Lightning's hair and facial design.  The game play of Lightning Returns has nothing to do with this. :) I didn't really notice her face change until I beat the game and watched the ending CG animation scene.  (pic above is from the opening CG scene) I was a bit disappointed that the animators weren't consistent in her facial design, especially when it was so beautiful to begin with. Here's some compare/contrast pics I found. This one is of the CG animation for FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and FFXIII Lightning Returns. And here's the cutscene animation.  It's a bit more difficult to tell the difference in the cutscene animation unless you look closely. The hair

Anime Food!: Brock's Cream Stew

Hello again!  My apologies for taking so long to make another 'Anime Food' post.  Enjoy! During my childhood days of watching Pokemon, I would often see Brock cooking this white stew thing.  It would look so yummy but I had no idea what it was..  And even though my entire family and extended family was Japanese, none of them ever made something like this.  (T__T)  The closest thing I got was corn chowder. Only recently did I discover that it's called cream stew and luckily, it's quite the easy recipe. ^^ I remember the very first time I made this.  I used a cream stew mix pack from the store (the one that has the blocks that you melt in the pot).  That turned out pretty bad so I highly recommend people make this one from scratch.  It's really does taste so much better this way.  I'm lazy so instead of having the pretty diced pieces of carrot, I threw in some baby carrots.  XD Close up ;3 I found this recipe on Little Japan Mama's rec

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt 1 & 2

Hooray for the 100th post~! (^0^) I finally got to watching the last installment of the Harry Potter series (The Deathly Hallows Pt2) last night with my dad (and may I add that he was so loud, especially on the quiet parts of the movie, I even had to elbow him and tell him to be quiet... And then he's laugh at inappropriate times, so embarrassing, thank God it was dark). Sorry to say but after viewing it for the first time, I really prefer Pt1. I don't know why, maybe it's because I liked the scenery better or those particular scenes opposed to the 2nd part of the movie. My favorite scenes were the one with the doe patronus and Harry & party running down the streets of London and when they infiltrated the ministry. I'd have to watch the last Hp movie again to give a better review because sometimes when I watch the movie again, I have a better impression of it. The last movie was full of effects and flare. I was trying REALLY hard not to compare it to th
