Idolmaster Miku

'KAY. I DON'T NEED TO BUY IDOLMASTER ANYMORE. OKAY. I'M HAPPY. :V

EDIT: HER HAIR IS SO SHINY. This is an important fact that I left out, shame on me.

Requiem

The first GOOD vocaloid song I have heard in a long time. Meaning also the first good GUMI song I've heard in a long, long time.

This song I think actually takes V3 to its maximum potential. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but from what I heard of other songs that are using V3, they don't sound much different from V2 at all... makes me wonder if they actually did anything different in V3, besides maybe an interface change (to make it easier to use? I dunno, I haven't seen V3 myself).

I think this one isn't bad at all though. GUMI still sounds like GUMI, but there's a distinct enough difference to say that this isn't the original GUMI - some other version. It even has the old version V2 to contrast which you can hear in the middle of the song.

Pretty cool!

スイートフロートアパート

This song's is pretty wacked up and the music itself is kind of repetitive and mediocre, but man, GUMI is so cute. It's just worth watching it for GUMI's random facial expressions.

The apartment-- I mean, the title of the song seems to be something like "Sweet Float Apart(ment)", I think, although I'm pretty sure I got the middle one wrong.

VocaOn!!

...JAPAN!!

Of course this is great for the half-second GUMI cameo.

(actually, the vocals in this one are pretty bad imo... but of course the video is so well done it makes up for it)

Glorious World

THIS VIDEO HAS CUBES SO IT MUST BE GREAT RIGHT

NO WAIT


THE CUBES ARE GOING AWAY

okay nevermind.


Well actually I don't think the song is that great anyway, but the video is very nice. The song isn't bad to say, just maybe not to my tastes.

The curious part of this article is the comments comparing the receiving of his death vs Steve Jobs.

As usual, time moves on, can't seem to help it...

Ro-Kyu-Bu!

(Spoiler probably since it happens in the last episode... well it would depend on your definition of spoiler)

MAN

WTF

if there is any reason to watch this show its to watch 12 episodes of this just to see Hinata Backwards Shot.

Idolmaster PS3

One day, it will be all right for me to import a possibly 80$+ game with even more $+ with the DLC, just to get to see Hatsune Miku dance like she does in niconico videos and in my Dreamy Theater EXCEPT IT WILL BE IN IDOLMASTER.

Possibly that day will come when I can read Japanese at a fast enough speed to play the game...

EDIT: In other unrelated news, Steve Jobs died? http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/10/06/000211/Steve-Jobs-Dead-At-56

man, the flow of time moves on ruthlessly...
