I've been following the DVD releases, currently the 4th volume (or Episode 11-15), and have been really enjoying it. Bits of it actually make me of David Lean's war films, the whole dogs of the military carrying on with it. The irony is especially bitter. Has the most touching, authentic portrayal o...
I thought Kotoko's concert was, objectively speaking, better. But that goes without saying because she was fronting a pretty cracking J-rock outfit and did a little Visual Kei-ish cosplay to rivet the audience. I would LOVE Maaya to discover her inner Malice Mizer, but given the circumstances, she d...

What initially drew me to Kanno was her work on Macross Plus as well. And then Escaflowne, which had this major Orff-meets-Monteverdi-meets-Ravel pastiche going on. Kanno doesn't have a strong ear for melody (not as much as, say, Taku Iwasaki), but she's really good with adding moody chromaticism to...

Arigato!!! Yikes, the vocal line in Hemisphere looks as bad as I thought. This part to me seems more like 6/8, and I'm not sure if the 4/4 setup really reflects what I hear in the vocal line. The chorus seems to be one beat ahead of the bass line (not sure if it's hard on the singer, but it means on...

I was actually surprised too, but the karaoke-setup, late time, and the obvious fact it was a convention room gave a different audience dynamic than what you'd expect from an arena rock concert. I heard that some people in the front who did try to sing along were kinda shouted down by people around ...

c) they were filming Maaya to be projected on the screen at the concert (boring!) Actually, yeah, that might have been it. The video screen had her at various angles, mixed in with some funky screensaver-style eye candy. But I'd like to think clips of this may show up in a future DVD release with o...
I was amazed speechless from the KOTOKO concert, and then they had to hit me again the next day with the Maaya Sakamoto concert. Oh definitely, Kotoko rocked. Kinda sounded like a cross between Evanescence and Nightwish out there. I had assumed both concerts would be karaoke-style, but when Kotoko ...

nobody records the concert?? or took photos tell me more!!!!! Both were prohibited at the concert. Which, I felt, was fair game. During the Kotoko concert, some people started taking pictures and such (a lot of people were using cellphones as "cig lighters.") I heard later that this made her staff ...

Thanks for the long report but I'm not surprised they emphasised Escaflowne - it is the one people know her for. I know that a lot of people know what else she's done but for the majority I guess it is Escaflowne then...um..what else has she been in? One of the cool things about an industry show li...
