Am absolutely in love with this FMA Brotherhood ED right now – “Let It Out” by Miho Fukuhara. Definitely my favorite OP/ED song from FMA Brotherhood so far, although the 1st OP also has a special place in my heart – “Again” by YUI – because YUI is, well, awesome
Putting aside the fact that my DS usurped my PS2′s spot in my limited attention span, and I haven’t played my DS in a while – I would’ve thought that Final Fantasy XIII would be THE game to make me finally acquire a PS3. But it’s gotten such lukewarm word on the street that I’ll be waiting for the new Kingdom Hearts game to come out before I get that PS3
The theme song for FFXIII is really nice though, even though I did raise an eyebrow when I saw that it was by Leona Lewis – not a name I would’ve ever associated with Final Fantasy, and also I had pegged her for a one-hit (“Bleeding Love“) wonder. But everyone who managed to last through the game seems to agree that this song fits. So YAY FOR PRETTY MUSIC, and I’m glad that Leona came out with another good song that I can now add to my YouTube playlist \o/
My boyfriend was flipping through the channels last night, and he ended up settling for the second half of August Rush. We’d seen it before, but I had forgotten how awesome the soundtrack was. The guitar slapping song, “Raise It Up” (that little girl has an amazing, amazing voice)… all really great music, but my favorite is definitely “August’s Rhapsody“. It’s hauntingly beautiful and never fails to give me the chills, especially near the middle-end. Perfect note to end this movie on!
The opening part of this video where the choir simulated the sounds of an oncoming thunderstorm is without doubt one of the coolest things I’ve seen on the internets in recent memory The actual song part didn’t quite impress me as much, but… that opening is just flippin’ awesome, ’nuff said!
I’m a bit of an Idol junkie, for the drama and Simon and what-not. Who knew it (actually) could be a place to discover good songs too! Kris Allen for his top seven performance performed such a delicious song that I had to research up the original. I ended up falling insanely in love with the original song. Which judging from all the YouTube comments, got majorly re-thrust into the public limelight because of Kris’ performance. Most YouTube comments are such trash, but they’re so much fun to read sometimes xD
And don’t get me wrong. I like Kris Allen – although I like Adam Lambert more xD – but I just find the original dude’s voice more soulful. Sorry Kris. Thanks for bringing such a great song to my attention though I’ll have to check out the movie where this song came from too – “Once.”
The hiatus between Nodame Cantabile Lesson 126 and Lesson 127 felt like an eternity, because the story cut off right before an incredible high point – Nodame’s debut concerto. Needless to say as a rabid Nodame fan, I was in seventh heaven when Tomoko Ninomiya was able to return and start serializing again.
A co-worker tried to get me into Flight of the Conchords a while back but wasn’t tremendously successful… another co-worker found this song by them though yesterday and I watched it with him. It. Is. Fucking. Win. I’ve looped it quite a few times now and can’t stop laughing like a maniac every time I watch it.
(I would also recommend checking out the R Kelly ft Usher – Same Girl video either before or after the FOTC viewing. While this video is a bit of a pain to sit through – I think the song is tremendously stupid – it will make you appreciate the FOTC version all that much more )
