SolidS Kachou Fugetsu 「花鳥風月」series

I am interested to make review of this series. YES !!! Tsukino Production is one of production which having seiyuu for their project. We have Tsukiuta (Procellarum & Six Gravity) , SolidS (SolidS and QUELL), ALIVE (Growth and SOARA) and Tsukicro (newest one). Even they are 2D Idol (I guess), they have really diversity songs toward all unit. I would like discuss about Tsukiuta too, especially that I am really into to Procellarum. I am listening to all unit's song.

So I would like review about one of this year series, Kachou Fugetsu Series. But I am interested to make review SolidS Kachou Fugetsu series. I will make one too for SOARA and Growth, they shared same theme too (Kachou Fuugetsu) for this year.

The Japanese have a word, or words of Kachou Fuugetsu「花鳥風月」which means “Flower Bird Wind Moon”. Literally the meaning of this proverb is “to experience the beauties of nature, learn about yourself”. My friend told me literally the meaning is a kind the beauties of nature, the themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics.  Kachou Fuugetsu series is projecting Japanese unique theme, represents symbol of every season. Kachou Fuugetsu is “four character idioms” which is consist of 「花」 ka, 「鳥」 cho, 「風」 fu 「月 」getsu. Series consist of four themes, symbolize by four seasons they are; 「花」Hana “Flower”  series;「鳥」Tori “Bird” series ;「風」Kaze “Wind” series;「月」Tsuki “Moon” series.

SolidS members are singing individually for this project. Yes!! They did the single this time. Every member is portraying all themes.

Four singles have their own symbol or representation. Flower series brings "Lily", Bird series brings "Canaria", Wind series brings "Squall", Moon series "Tide". I will looking for the meaning of that..

「花」 ka “Flower” series - Lily-寄り添う百合のように- 

Lily-寄り添う百合のように- 

lil·y ˈlilē/ - a bulbous plant with large trumpet-shaped, typically fragrant, flowers on a tall, slender stem. Lilies have long been cultivated, some kinds being of symbolic importance and some used in perfumery.

The fact said this flower represents Madonna, the beauty. I understand this story more into like "first sight love" and he cannot forget the impression.. The kanji's meaning more into "Like nestling close to a Lily".

「鳥」 cho "Bird" series - Canaria -消えゆく空に-

Canaria -消えゆく空に-

ca·nar·y

kəˈnerē/

1. 1.

   a mainly African finch with a melodious song, typically having yellowish-green plumage. One kind is popular as a pet bird and has been bred in a variety of colors, especially bright yellow.

 The kanji's meaning more into "vanishing into the sky". there is part "That I don't understand what is Love", I guess this song more like wondering, what kind experience of love.

「風」 fu "Wind" series -  Squall -冷たい衝動

Squall -冷たい衝動

squall

skwôl/

1. 1.

   a sudden violent gust of wind or a localized storm, especially one bringing rain, snow, or sleet.

 The kanji's meaning more into "cold urges" . Well I guess this song more into like "raging" because the timbre is kind heavy.

「月 」getsu "Moon" series - Tide -光の射す方へ-

Tide -光の射す方へ-

tide

noun

1. 1.

   the alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the attraction of the moon and sun.

 The kanji's meaning more into "to the way the light shines". I guess this song more like "don't give up" until meet "the one". Even this song is kind dark, like he is more depending to her and can't life without her. I guess that's way the kanji meaning, "to the light shines".

Digimon Adventure Tri -review ep 1 till ep 8-

This content will contain spoiler...

So, generation 90 will be happy to know about series Digimon Adventure continue for this year. With late premier, the tension and hype still continuing for the series.

I will tell you my mind about this series...

Digimon adventure is one of series of Digimon series, along with Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure Two. Different with the other series (Digimon Frontier, Saver, Tamer and Xcross), this series was booming and get more attention more, so when they publish about continuing this series, they get hype.

So, what is the story about ? 

It's about puberty story of the characters...

Yup, because the world get invasion from digimon and the DigiDestinied was gathered to solve that kind problem. But their problem is not simple as digimon adventure and digimon adventure two which fight and defeat it. More psychology problem, because their hit puberty, more doubts, despair and something about crush too.

What's happen with children in Digimon adventure two ?

I got impression they were defeated, as first episode just showing a little of their presence. Especially with defeating.

As you know that DigiDevice of first generation o and DigiDevice of second generation is different. And the picture that I captured showed the second DigiDevice of second generation in prologue of story.

Ichioji-kun appear 

As people know, Ichioji-kun appeared in Digimon Adventure two, and defeated. Ichioji-kun is antagonist of Digimon Adventure two, who is excellent in any field.

as I got from Wikipedia 

Introduced as a prodigy in sports and academics, Ken has been a DigiDestined years before the series' main characters. His skills were bolstered by the Dark Spore, though it poisoned his mind (trying to save Ryo Akiyama a character that appears in Digimon Tamers), influencing him to become the Digimon Emperor and conquer the Digital World, which he thought was a video game. Later he joins and befriends the group, repenting for how he had hurt the DigiDestined, countless Digimon, and his parents. During his time as the Digimon Emperor, Ken was aloof and cruel, but after the effects of the Dark Spore wore off, he returns to being a normal and kind boy and joins forces with the other DigiDestined. He originally had the Crest of Kindess but never used it for digivolution, but to power up his contraptions during his time as the Digimon Emperor instead.

 Basically He appears again in Digimon Adventure tri

So... till now, I don't really get the main problem of this series. But if Ichiouji-kun appear, the invansion of digimon to the world will be happen again as Digimon Adventure two...

Kimi ni Na wa, Your Name -review-

So, this is will be a kind of recaps...
I really want to do review for this movie, especially with Makoto Shinkai.

BUT HE MAKES ME FEEL SO SUPERB after watched the movie.

Kimi no Na wa as English title Your Name, is a Japanese animated youth science fiction fantasy film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, with animation by CoMix Wave Films. (source : wikipedia).

It was writen by Makoto Shinkai, director and author of 5 cm per second, super feels movie and Kotonoha no Niwa. So basically I was really hyper person when found this series. Though I kind sad to know that Crossroad, it's only commercial movies (CM) but both of them has similar topic.

The boy who is living in Tokyo...
The girl who is living in rural Japan....


Yup, actually they share the same topic, but having their own way for story. I had done with review of Crossroad, maybe I will repost it in this blog, not tumblr.

Talked about story, you always find the twist in Makoto Shinkai's story. A linked by the fate, has something interested topic even makes me feel so goosebumps when I watched this series.

And about animation ? Don't even dare to ask it. It was so beautiful, beautiful like the older one, but still bring nostalgic theme to me. So, he did the best ever, bring the superb animation with twist and good romance story, no one ever makes me shaking, and this movie bring the BEST story.

but the lack is just some of kind different point of view, by protagonist, some people kind hard to understand it, but the element of this makes us understand for both of view, without unbalanced view.

for the song, It was good for representing the story, especially the lyrics....

For feel, don't even ask me because it was SUPERB

And for me it will be 10/10 because the topic was rare, bu executed as elegant story with deep meaning.

I hope I can read the novel too, feels about protagonist will be good for me.

Review JOKER GAME (anime)

Joker Game adalah salah satu anime yang aku ikuti di musim semi tahun ini. Menurutku karena bukan hanya banyak seiyuu kece - kece saja di anime tersebut, namun genrenya yang berbeda dari semua anime yang aku tonton. Spionase atau dalam dunia mata - mata memang jarang dibahas, kecuali kita mau membahas James Bond, dengan alat - alat super ajaib nan keren. Joker Game malah lebih pada intrik - intrik dalam spionase sendiri. Karena belakangan ini aku cukup bosen dengan  setting anime, dengan banyaknya HAREM bertebaran di setiap season.

Sinopsis (myanimelist.net)

(REVIEW mengandung SPOILER)

Membahas salah satu anime dari IG Production, kita sudah biasa disuguhkan cerita dengan berlatar belakang dark, dengan setting yang terkadang dystopia. Rating untuk anime ini R+17, mengingat begitu dalamnya setting dalam cerita ini. Kalau membahas seiyuu untuk anime ini, kita pasti tahu mulai dari Hiro Shimono, Kimura Ryohei, Sakurai Takahiro, Jun Fukuyama, Hosoyan, Kaji Yuki dan banyak seiyuu veteran yang membuat anime ini terlihat mainly.

Anime ini juga tidak mengambil tema episode yang berlanjut, dengan kata lain, setiap episode menjelaskan arc tersendiri dari setiap agent, (ada beberapa arc yang mengambil dua episode) dengan jalan cerita yang secara acak.

Berikut judul setiap episodenya;



Menurut website anime JOKER GAME dari IG Production


Jadi tentang ep 11 Coffin memang benar - benar twist, bahkan bagiku sendiri ini diluar dari apa ekspetasi penonton (Kecuali kalau membaca novelnya tersendiri )

Jadi dengan 10 episode tersendiri, setiap arc yang berbeda, apakah kamu mengerti cerita ini ?

Well, tentu saja kita harus berpikir keras untuk menonton cerita seperti ini, ketimbang harus disuguhkan cerita yang alurnya mudah ditebak, aku lebih menyukai style anime seperti ini. Setidaknya penonton punya 1001 prediksi yang mungkin bisa berakhir twist bukan?

Miyano Mamoru ~ How Close You Are ~ 'Review'

So, Let me tell you that I am fans of Miyano Mamoru. Mengingat diriku sendiri begitu menyukai suara khas miyano mamoru, terutama suara seductivenya #plak... #hidupseiyuufangirl 

Tapi kali ini aku ngebahas miyano mamoru yang How Close You Are, walaupun dia baru saja merilis single baru untuk opening Vanguard, SHOUT!. 

Jadi asalnya, sebenarnya lagu ini adalah birthday gift dari salah satu komposer yang membantunya menyusun lagu di album - albumnya. Betapa terpesonanya Mamo pas pertama kali dengar nada - nada yang dimainkan oleh Miyano, dan akhirnya dia cuma bisa bilang 'GREAT THING!' 

Astaga Mamo-chan

Nah, kalian bisa lihat behind the scenenya di Miyano Mamoru Concert ~ GENERATING~ yang tayang di NEXT FUJI TV... (jika berhasil menemukan linknya)

Nah setelah itu, lirik lagu ini ditulis langsung Mamo-chan dengan begitu dalamnya, well walaupun aktingnya dalam MV ini juga dalam sih. 

Mamo-chan dengan mudah menggugah pendengar lagu ini dengan suara khasnya dan juga aktingnya yang memukau #sasugaseiyuu 

Tapi betapa dalamnya lirik lagu ini yang membuat lagu ini menjadi salah satu lagu yang aku suka. Bagaimanapun aku bisa menangis ketika mendengar lagu Refrain di single Refrainnya, dan kini bagaimana galaunya di How Close You Are...

So... kalian

Psycho Pass Review -still continue-

Siapa yang kangen SEKI ????? Maksud gua Shinya Kogami di Psycho Pass ?????

Seki Tomokazu emang salah satu seiyuu yang gua suka apalagi pas di Psycho Pass…COooooOOOL abis 

 deh ;3 Mengingat bahwa Kagari alias Akira Ishida telah diwafatkan oleh penulis scenario alias Jun Kumagai T’’….’’T

Namun, sayang sekali pemirsa, Seki hanya muncul di dua episode (3 dan 10) dan hanya bicara beberapa menit !!!!! 

Pertanyaan paling mendasar di Psycho Pass S2 adalah 

“DI MANA SHINYA KOGAMI ??????”

Aku selalu penasaran apa yang terjadi pada Ko (panggilan sayang gua) setelah Hell of Season… Oh jangan lupakan bahwa Makishima Shogo di S1 yang sudah bikin kekacauan…

Jadi apa perbedaan jelas pada Psycho Pass S1 dan S2 ? Yang jelas tidak adanya Shinya Kogami itu termasuk perbedaan…#truth.. Season 1 lebih menceritakan tentang Kogami dan Makishima (in my pov) mengingat bahwa S1 itu terlihat jelas yang diperhatikan Akane dan semua tindakan tersebut dilandaskan pada Kogami… Sedangkan Season 2 lebih menceritakan tentang sudut pandang dan pemikiran Akane sendiri dan juga strategi yang diambil Akane untuk menghadapi Kirito….

Selain itu menurut Original Author, Gen Urobochi. S2 darker than S1… Di sisi lain memang gak semua orang pantas untuk nonton S2. Karena walaupun sajian Psycho Pass adalah Dystopia, namun sajian S1 lebih mild ketimbang S2.. Dominator lebih kejam dan berkuasa di S2 ketimbang S1 dan lebih banyak darah yang ditonjolkan…

Yang kedua adalah Sibyl System. Apa sebenarnya yang ada di Sibyl System baru terbaca ketika Hell of Seasons yang mana di saat itu Kagari harus tewas dibunuh Sibyl System. S1 secara gamblang menjelaskan tentang Sibyl System dan lebih kepada kehidupan masyarakat dan permasalahan sosial setelah penerapan Sibyl System dan juga salah satu permasalahan mendasar dari Sibyl System. Mengingat Sibyl System sangat menginginkan Makishima Shogo. Tapi ????? Di S2 terkuat jelas bahwa bagaimana cara kerja dan pengambilan sikap dari Sibyl System dan juga dampak dari Sibyl System… I always hate Togane’s mother ;/

Peran antogonis kita di S1, Makishima Shogo digambarkan sebagai seorang prophet,nabi yang tengah berada di masyarakat. Sedangkan Kamui Kirito merupakan seorang revolusioner, menentang ketidakadilan yang terjadi. Keduanya sama – sama merasa bahwa Sibyl System tak adil dan menjadikan mereka kaum marginal… Ini salah satu artikel yang kubaca dari tumblr. Check aja !!!

Dan mengingat filmya akan diputar di Winter 2015 dan posternya SANGAT MENAMPILKAN KOGAMI SHINYA… pastinya akan menjadi kelanjutan seperti apa anime ini. Karena Arch-nya memang rada unik, sudah S1, remake, S2 dilanjutkan ke film. Let’s hope it isn’t something like Madoka Magica T’’’’____’’’’T mengingat betapa jahatnya Gen pada serial tersebut.

Trivia menarik yang gua dapat di anime ini adalah Sakurai Takahiro adalah seiyuu yang memerankan satu anime dengan dua season di mana setiap seasonnya berbeda peran.. Gua hanya ketawa ketika mengecek list seiyuu di kredit video… S1 sebagai Makishima Shogo dan S2 sebagai Sho Nakagawa. Mengingat bahwa Sakurai emang seiyuu yang professional dan berpengalaman apalagi di Gugure Kokkuri :3 #kikikikikikik Oh ya, Sakurai lebih mendalami jiwa sadistiknya di S1… S2 lebih ke Sho yang berbeda, yang kalem dan gelagapan…But, I prefer Sho than Shogo 

Oh ya, mengingat beberapa minggu lagi Psycho Pass bakal tamat, berharap ending untuk lanjutan movie tidaklah terlalu SANGAT MENGEJUTKAN fans. Mengingat TWISTED ENDING yang selalu diberikan Gen pada fansnya…Yah walaupun semua akan mengambing hitamkan Gen Urobochi , keinget curhatnya pas disalahkan gara – gara ending A/Z…Oke kali ini kita salahkan Jun Kumagai ya ;)
