Music Monday – Cutting and Stiching Something Up

Published on May 14, 2012 in Features and Music. By MeePo101

Work, music, life, music, sleep, work, sleep…less. With a brain that is burned out and frozen in thought I am here for your entertainment. Simple explanation has no place here… but sadly this intro can only be so long (wall of text is always off putting, but I have not learned my lesson).

It’s an OP for Black Jack… You should know what it is… Hopefully… Geez starting to feel old again… D:

Music Monday – Customisations

Published on March 19, 2012 in Features and Music. By Kirishima

Opening sequences and closing sequences are standard formulas for any sort of anime (although sometimes openings are optional), recently we have seen a number of series with what I like to call ‘custom music’ (boring name, I know).

If you’re one to follow recent anime, you’ll know that there have been a few musical or music themed anime of late, among which are such as Guilty Crown and Senki Zesshou Symphogear, both of which feature tracks written and/or performed especially for the anime by the seiyuus (voice actors) of the series.
