Shingeki no Kyojin Original Soundtrack Download

Some kind hearted soul uploaded the Shingeki no Kyojin OST. You can download it here (aside from the strange file name, I've checked that this is legit). Enjoy!

I expected no less of Sawano's musicianship.

Seiyuu appreciation post: Morikawa, KENN and Tomozaku

Morikawa Toshiyuki updated his blog this afternoon and he posted a few interesting pictures, including one where KENN (left) and Tomozaku Sugita (right) were making silly poses.

[Lyrics] IN FUTURE!! - Yuutaku II 「ゆーたくⅡ」

Basic info:

"Yuutaku II" 「ゆーたくⅡ」 is a unit comprised of two seiyuus, Ono Yuuki and Eguchi Takuya. Their two-sided debut single is called 『third Wizard/IN FUTURE!!』. The song "third Wizard" is used as the main theme song of the radio show "What will I do? What will I be!? Yuutaku II" 「どうする?どうなる!?ゆーたくⅡ」, and their second song "IN FUTURE!!" is used as a ending song of the anime Battle Spirits: Sword Eyes.

Comments:

I found these two songs to be very upbeat and catchy. It's full of fun and energy (especially in their PV, they act pretty childish/silly). 

You can download a sample of this single here.

Description: Kanji lyrics and Romaji lyrics of Yuutaku II's song "IN FUTURE!!".

Note: English translation coming soon.

[Piano Sheet Music] Happiness by Aijima Cecil (Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000%)

I'm really on a roll with transcribing songs this week. Here's Happiness, Cecil's second song in his character single of UtaPri Maji Love 2000%. This is a really cool song if you can just ignore Cecil's annoying voice. Also, I think the bass line is really fun and awesome.

Again please support me here by giving me rating stars. Thanks!

Gackt releases PV for his new song Sakura Chiru

Yesterday, Gackt released the music video for his new song Sakura Chiru (Cherry Blossoms Fall) from his compilation album "BEST OF BEST vol.1-MILD-". The video contains footage of Moon Saga Yoshitsune Hiden (Moon Saga: The Secret of Yoshitsune), his stage play collaboration with CLAMP, which Gackt co-created, wrote, directed, and starred in the lead role of Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

Enjoy his powerful and beautiful voice~ This song's style reminds me of his older song Setsugekka.
