#capu 2

So, I realized that this convention isn’t for Otakus like me, it’s for nerds. Sailor moon was popular, but it has a dub. The popular anime at Animinne have a dub. Pretty Cure hardly has any dubs. It explains why there was almost no Japanese there. My expectations were too high in that regard. But despite the “Otaku let down”, I had a good time and learned a Korean Sword art, Haidong Gumdo. I also hugged everyone that had a “Free Hugs” sign. I love hugs. It was a good way to celebrate my birthday.

 I should probably talk about the song now, huh?

 DISCOTHEQUE by Nana Mizuki is the Opening to Rosario + Vampire Capu 2.

 I told you that I really like the music to Rosario + Vampire. I’ve already talked about Nana Mizuki, and how she’s the voice of Cure Blossom (yes! a Pretty Cure reference). I found this song thanks to Youtube suggestions. They usually give me good suggestions, and help me find new songs and artists. Also, yesterday, I was able to download a few songs, but there’s still 99+ in my watch later.

 When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it. I love dance music, mostly disco, but also swing, etc. I heard this and I’m thinking there’s disco J-pop, shiawase mankai! (another Pretty Cure reference) And that sax solo is so cool. It’s just a really upbeat dance tune. Plus, I like Nana Mizuki.

 And Rosario + Vampire is pronounced “Rosario to Vampire” or “Rosario and Vampire”. The plus means “and”.

 Here’s the full music video. I’m using Jpopsuki.tv again, but I do love J-pop:

The video is trying to trick you! A trumpet and a tenor sax are two different things.

 And of course, there’s a Vocaloid version of the opening (an easy transition):

And if you’re wondering, I think it says “chanepaya”. I don’t know what that means.

 Album: trickster

Track: 02

Lyricist: Ryouji Sonoda

Composer: Noriyasu Agematsu

 That should do it. In this week before summer classes, I finally watched the Happiness Charge movie. It was amazing. I’ve also started watching Go! Princess Pretty Cure. It’s really good and is trying some interesting and original ideas.

 I’m trying to get my programming project to work. I turned in a Not-working-correctly one. So, I’m still working on that.

 Ja ne!
