【巡音ルカ】ラストソング

The piano melody!!! It's always the piano melody that attracts me!!!

Just a Luka song that was on the charts these days. Quite a nice song I must say.

so, "Resutosongu" = Rest song? V: Sounds restful!

EDIT: MY FRIEND HAS CORRECTED ME AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A "RA". Therefore more likely a "last song" :V

トリノコシティ

Apparently another one of those popular songs that appeared a while ago but I didn't know about! The PV video recently got popular and is #1 on charts right now. Its a pretty catchy song, especially since it uses a lot of staccato- abrupt ending patterns where you don't hear too often (I think) in other songs. At the very least, it stands out a lot in this song.

The song's name is... "Dorinokoshitei"...? I have no idea what that means!

EDIT: IT MEANS TORINOKO CITY

what's Torinoko?

Perfect Tablature (Whistle)

HOLY CRAP I DON'T HATE RENEWAL ANYMORE

なでなで

Title says it all.

Sometimes, I really don't understand Japanese trends. V: Well, I can kind of understand this one. And maybe the monk one because that one was funny. But (this is pretty off tangent) I don't really see why every GUMI search now has 50% of its images in that freaky NYC gangster sweatshirt type style which is pretty freaky to me. :<

Maybe Japan just isn't used to seeing that kind of style, while being in America we see kids wearing these kinds of clothes... and having similar tatoos... every day. V:

Reader: *nade nade*

Ehehe. ^-^

EDIT: MOAR KYUT STUF

World's End Dancehall

Hmm... I remember hearing this song somewhere but I forgot where. I think moetron posted something on it before, maybe a translated version.

Somehow now it sounds a lot more catchy and now I know why there almost 2 million views!

Also: Posted in May, still in the top 20 VOCALOID charts. Yea I guess this song is catchy. :V

More GUMI Songs

COIN:

A GUMI song of reasonable popularity right now. I like its piano melody and how it seems to "soften out" the "hardness" of the electric guitar that's also playing at around the same time. And then there's GUMI's voice, which is of course always nice. :p

檸檬:

GUMI you're just cute in this video~~~

GOOGLE TRANSLATE SAYS: Lemon.

Well, that was unexpected. V:

会いたい:

BECAUSE THERE IS A LACK OF DECENT GUMI SONGS, AND THIS SONG IS WORTH RELISTENING TO.

Aitai~~~~!!

aniimo

A touching story about an overprotective brother and a rebelling sister. Awww. :(

モノクロ∞ブルースカイ

A NEW MIKU SONG TO LISTEN TO~!!!

Although I'm a few months late.

So, "Monochrome Blue Sky", I'm guessing?

Narcissists

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/09/is-narcissism-good-for-business.html

In expansion to the article itself, it can easily be said that this is why so-so people can find jobs even though they are less qualified than others competing against them. So I guess the idea is to think you're awesome and better than everyone else (even if you aren't but hey don't ever acknowledge it or your image will be ruined)!

SOUNDS LIKE AMERICA

GalGun

What happens if you replace the zombie sprites in a typical FPS zombie shooting game with cute girls instead? (Or soldiers in a war game, or etc any FPS shooting game)

Man, this reminds me of that one nerf now comic. :V And, truly amazing, in a way.

Stem Cell Ban

Hmm... don't really show too much passion, but:

http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2010/09/us-government-appeals-stem-cell-.html

http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2010/09/appeals-court-stays-stem-cell-in.html


Long story short, a couple of adult stem cell researchers attacked the new NIH rule on embryonic stem cell research and are trying to make it banned (again, I think).


Well, all fine and good, but really, all this time spent in the court, couldn't these two researchers be... you know... doing research instead? That's the only real thing that annoys me. :V If your research is so important, why aren't you doing it? Embryonic stem cell research POTENTIALLY may threaten your research, but at least its not taking a chunk of time out of your lab to spend your days in a court room.

Dancing

ONCE AGAIN, YOUR RESEARCH DOLLARS AT WORK

This time, how to dance so girls can flock to you.

...actually this might be useful. :V

ロゼッタ

GUMI song "Rosetta", seems to be hitting the charts at #3 along with all the Miku Bhuddist Prayer music. Haven't listened to it too much (as in only once), but it appears that the song is catchy and easily likable, although the voice I think is not as refined as some of the other producers make it. Well, it could be interesting.

Not as random and unique as Bhuddist monk prayers though apparently. :V

般若心経ポップ

From what I can tell of the video, this appears to be... a Bhuddist chant... in pop-rock form...


WOW REALLY? Its number 1 on charts too, right now. :V

恋するミュータント

It was Miku's birthday yesterday and I totally missed it.

Anyway of course there are a lot of Miku songs in the top charts these days. The thing is I don't quite understand the appeal of some songs compared to the others (some sound pretty ordinary) but maybe there's something in the lyrics?

Anyway this song seems like something that if I were to listen to it a few times I'd end up liking it.

Something like "Love Mutant", I believe? :V
