Sing GUMI, Happy Birthday!

Looks like some good GUMI songs for her birthday came out after all.



It's tearfish's illustration! Bonus points for that! (Although her illustration looks more like miki than GUMI :V) That aside, I'm not too sure about the monotonic parts for most of the song, but I think chorus is pretty cool to listen to, as is the intermission. Instrumentals and illustration make this song pretty decent. I'm guessing the red haired girl is why the song is called "Cranberry"....



Somehow, I get the feeling the lyrics to this song would be really amusing to read. The video is pretty cute as usual, and the song has a nice "informative" feel to it. I guess its a pretty amusing song to listen to while watching the video, which is pretty fun. :V "Heartbreak Headlines"! Sounds like a good relationship song huh.



The first place song, and the song I've been listening to most of the day. A pretty normal song that's reminiscent of a few songs from supercell and KOTOKO (uh, just from my experience...). The more of the melodic ones that is, without excessive rock or excessive "poppy" style. Just a good "Rising" song if it makes song. I guess it tries to sound epic! As if, it were the World's Last Confession or something!!!!

First Mahjong Game

A long long time ago (ok maybe like about a year ago) I played tenhou for the first time. In my very first game, I got a yakuman. I didn't know really how to play or what I was doing. I never took a screenshot so I couldn't relive the moment ever again.

I think it looked something like this.

What's that? I got the yakuman again? No, that's not important. What is important is the fond mahjong memories of the past! Ah, past life... if only I had that same kind of luck I had before...

Oh wait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUMI

This year, I came prepared for the onslaught. Last year I was caught off guard and then it was like "WHOOSH HUGE AMOUNT OF PAGES OF GUMI PICS TO GO THROUGH". Well, this year, just as expected, there was still a huge amount of pictures, but I was prepared! Still have to go through 29 pages and counting, the pictures are still coming in since her birthday's not over yet...

I would include some vocaloid videos but I don't like any of the more recent ones that much... I already put the ones I liked in the previous post, so now I'll just take some pictures directly from pixiv. :V

Suddenly, lots of VOCALOID

...songs.



The current highest ranking song. A rather serious and dark song for IA, with a reasonably good melody. Usually these kinds of songs are too rock-type for my tastes, but sometimes they sound pretty good. GUMI's Moziak Role was about the same. Admittedly, not the best song I think for IA, but I think it's still pretty neat. Title is something like a "complete trap love rater"? :V HAHA THAT SAYS LOVE LETTER GOOD JOB. :V "Perfect Crime Love Letter"



It looks like Happy Synthesizer all over again, except Miku instead of Luka! The little charms in the song are pretty cute and catchy. The voices weren't done too well I think in this song, but the song is definitely cute, so its a fun song to listen to. The title is "Love Potion", I'm pretty sure I didn't get this wrong this time.



Classic melodic GUMI song! You're classic soft rock song with gentle melodies and love themes. Well, we have enough of these songs, but hey, its GUMI, and its GUMI's birthday tomorrow, so why not?!? Anyway I have no idea what the title is supposed to be so we use google again!!! "Hoshi Ai" I guess something like "want love"? :V



WARM AND FLUFFY!!! FLUFFY FLUFFY SONG!!! :V SOOOO PUFFY AND WAFFY!! V: ...PERFECT SONG FOR MAHJONG, don't you think? Well, it earned me a win with up to 50k points... but... this song is so FLUFFY!! makes you want to turn around in circles and dance in the snooooooow waaaaff fluffy fluffy.... V: Wait the title? "And then you got the moon", so it seems to say... wait I didn't need to use google translate for that... hmm, this is bad, I might know too much japanese now... actually I'm probably wrong so lets see what google translate says. "became the moon". Oh, really? You became the moon? that's nice. FLUFFY

こちら、幸福安心委員会です。

In a continuation of weird titles... well... :V

Man what the hell is this song! Something about happiness? Google translate says..."Peace of Mind is Happiness" Committee. WELL THEN.

人畜無害

My god the voice is so terrible in this but THE COSTUMES THE COSTUMES THE COSTUUUUMEEESSS

COOOOOSTUUUUMMME PLAAAAAYYYYY

The title seems to say something like Human something No Harm but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong so lets ask google translate again: Harmless man/beast. Well, okay. :V Maybe humans shouldn't harm beasts? Sounds like a vegetarian song!

Wait, isn't she the one that does Neptune's voice from Hyperdimension Neptunia?!?

CANNOT SEE NEPTUNE AS MARRIED, CANNOT--

Well, maybe her CPU form, I guess... :V

And time moves on slowly...Chii...

Sometimes, reading academic blogs is quite amusing.

RISING...

On the left, we have someone who didn't know which button to press to win the game.

On the top, we have a hand that's worth no points, so he can't win.

...I don't know what's going on on the right.

...WELL, a yakuman is a yakuman I guess!

Arata-Naru Sekai (Announcement)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-07/denpa-onna-iruma-madhouse-plan-arata-naru-sekai-anime

hmmmm I like this concept quite a lot. Unfortunately, this doesn't look like it will work in the US very well since  its not likely all three will be translated all at once, especially for the light novel department... But maybe. It sounds cool!

初恋学園・純愛科

It's a manga-video! But man, why does GUMI have to be a guy? V: Stupid Rin... Also, it seems like twitter is no longer receiving my blog posts... I'm going to need to investigate, some time in the future. Wonder if something broke with the connector service thing. Anyway the title says something like first love school... something something afterwards. Innocent love or something. Well, I can worry about it later... maybe. V:
