It’s the 24th of December. What day is it?
お誕生日おめでとう!!!
Of course, it’s the birthday of the 2 Full Metal Panic Heroines. Happy Birthday Kaname Chidori and Teletha Tessa Testarossa !!!
Besides wishing the 2 attractive lasses Happy Birthday, I shall grab this opportunity to embark on a brief rant about the 100% awesomeness of Full Metal Panic.
Looks like there’s another Revoltech release to look forward to. Recently, at the Revoltech Expo, this was one of the new prototypes showcased. I did not realise that Laevatein was at featured at the Expo until someone in IRC mentioned it.
Even though the current prototype is not coloured, it already looks awesome. Looks like this would be another must-buy Revoltech Figurine, like Ayanami Rei and Gurren Lagann.
There is currently no official release date for Laevatein, but my guess is some time around May or June.
Full Metal Panic Armslaves seriously need more mecha love. There are only extinct trading figurines of some of the Armslaves, and no official statement on the 1/60 scaled versions. Hopefully, Alter would surprise us with the long awaited announcement. And even if they fail to do so, I do hope that Revoltech continues to complete all the Armslaves. Especially ARX-7 and M9.

Many have noted the similarities between the main star of Gundam 00, Setsuna F. Seiei, and the male lead from Full Metal Panic, Sagara Sousuke. There are indeed quite a few similarities between the two, such as both of them having a past as a child soldier, and both being pilots of some form of mecha. However, I would like to think that despite their similar backgrounds, Sagara is a few hundred levels better than Setsuna.
Let me explain why.

There are many anime out there, and together with the various series are the many opening and ending songs. So, with so many anime OP and ED songs out there, how do you judge what’s good and what sucks?
Anime Songs are in fact Japanese Pop songs, so the way to judge them is rather similar.
There 3 basic components that make or break a song, regardless of what genre of song it is.
- Instrumental Tune
- Lyrics
- Artiste’s Vocals
I’m not any music guru, nor have I learnt anything about music before. Heck, I can’t even blow the recorder properly. But, I feel that the 3 points stated above are the foundation for a song. It’s pretty much common sense, but it seems that many artistes don’t have it.
For anime songs however, I feel that there’s another component which should be included so as to decide how great a song it is. This, however, is a bonus section. If the song fails the previous 3 basic points, it fails, even if it does well in this section.
- The song’s ability to link to it’s anime series (this is pretty much linked to the lyrics component)
I don’t think I expressed this properly, so let me give you an example.
A song which I feel is has scored in all components would be “Tomorrow”, which is the OP for Full Metal Panic, sung by Shimokawa Mikuni. Why?

If you have watched any of the Full Metal Panic,be it season 1,Fumoffu or The Second Raid,you would have known about this lass. She did all the OPs and EDs for the entire Full Metal Panic anime series. All the OPs and EDs that she sang were really good. Out of all of them,my favourites in no particular order are tomorrow(OP for Season 1),枯れない花(ED for Season 1) and もう一度君に会いたい(ED for TSR). Other good ones include それが愛でしょう and 南風.
I’ve always thought that her voice was superb,and listening to her latest album さよならも言えなかった夏 just confirmed my opinion of her voice. Her voice is really soothing,yet at the same time lively.Also,she’s quite pretty.
Anyway,here are some of my opinions on the tracks in her latest album:

It has been quite some time since I last updated. I haven’t really got the time to update my blog as school has been really hectic,although it’s the school holidays now. Out of my 2 weeks holiday,6 days has been taken up by the SP Scholarship Programme,1 day by CIP and I still have to prepare for 4 tests that begin as soon as the break’s over. In addition, I’ve got to hand up some work via email during the holidays. WTF!!! This is no holiday!!!
Anyway,my friend Benny just came back from Japan to renew his ID, so I met up with him at his shop in Sim Lim Square. Apparently,his shop is going to move due to the demanding increase in rent. He brought back some of the stuff that I order from him, so I went to collect it. I still have quite a lot of stuff left with him that’s back in Japan, so I’ll have to wait a little longer for everything to come over. At the rate I ask him to bid for auctions, I think it’ll take forever.
Less talk,more pictures.
