Short Post + New Song For PINKBEATZ

Right now I wouldn’t really have anything much to say and I am dead tired from being out the whole day. I still have not watched Da Capo SS’s latest episodes yet (I missed 11 and 12!!!!)

I need to be more open and post more often if I want site traffic. But somehow I am lacking in something called time.

Miharu has a new song named Ticket to the Wonderland ( I am sure it missed out 3 words at the back, namely “where Alice is”). Click on the PinkBeatz Myspace link on the blogroll, I am too lazy to get to buy some server space and edit this blog. IMO, both the title and the rhythm make it quite fitting for a Macross series fighting theme.

Well! I am going off to sleep now. It is already past midnight here. Cya peeps.

P.S I am addicted to Minori Chihara’s Yuki, Muon, Madobe Nite (雪、無音、窓辺にて。). It is Yuki Nagato’s character song in Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu, which I rediscovered in some obscure location in my old hard drive. Haven’t heard it for a long time though. Lovely, maybe I will get a violin and try to play the string acoustic parts.

P.P.S The reason why I am raving about this old anime (Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu) in the past few days is because COSFEST ‘08 IS COMING!!!!! I went to my first because of this anime (I wasn’t really an anime fan until THIS), and I missed last year’s due to ‘A’s. Hopefully I can get a costume up, it is next week.

3. AYA’s Urgent News

Hellooo everyone…
This is AYA here!

Finally the recording has ended!

However, it is not complete yet as the sound engineer has not finished compiling the sound source.

While singing for the recording, I was curious about how it would turn out like. The atmosphere had made me felt much more excited.

I will do my best for the live! It would be a pleasure to sing the new songs. I would like to hear from everyone about the pack when it dispatches! Everyone is excited after a month of waiting, don’t you think?

This is the end of the report from A-cube today. See you next time!

Well I am off to sleep now. Nights!

P.S I will continue referring to Ayako as Miharu, to prevent complications due to the fact that I am a fan of the Seiyuu/Singer Hirano Aya of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (2006) fame too. Also, just in case I get a stay-in unit after my course, I might not be able to do the translations on the day of release of the newsletter, but I will try my best to get the translations up once I book out.

PINKBEATZ

After yesterday’s insane rave about a certain puppygirl’s return, it is time to try and sketch a clearer picture of what is actually going on.

There is this girl who joined BeForU NEXT 4 years ago as Arisawa Miharu and turned the world upside down with her powerful voice and crazy personality. She left in 2007 “due to an illness”.

In 2008 she resurfaced as Kobayashi Ayako and caused a temporary blackout lasting an hour on beatrevolution servers on i-revo (only Haruhi can do that……).

Here is the I-revo link to the main site. She is releasing a new album named Super Virgin on 27/7/2008.

Please don’t ask me why it is like that. It is her way of doing things okay?

There will be four songs on the album, I will update later/tomorrow because….

UPDATE : Ignore the picture. It went through already. The four songs are LOVELY GAME, Moonlight Destiny, Super Virgin and Free Falcon. But be prepared to get blackouts from that URL because there are still alot of fans out there who have not heard the news (please spread it for the sake of SOS Dan! Thank you).

Currently what I can say is that the details are still sketchy, but it isn’t going to stop me from getting one of her new albums.

Anyway I figured out the real name of Risa/Alice. It is Asahina Mikuru (朝比奈 みくる) xD

GOOD NEWS ON THE BLOG!!!!

I have very good news today.

Or should I just give you the link?

http://mp.i-revo.jp/comm.php/3792/

Nah I shall……

BLOG ALL ABOUT IT, TALK ALL ABOUT IT, THE ANGELS HAVE RETURNEDDDDDDD…….TADADADADA………

May I present to everyone,

PINKBEATZ!!!!!

May I present the first member, Kobayashi Ayako (小林絢子)…..or should I call her,

ARISAWA MIHARU??????

Evil puppy cheated our feelings. Bad girl!!!<3

Outside that group, we shall introduce…….

小松奈央. Komatsu Nao, but isn’t she….

KOMATSU YOMA??????<3<3

She looks real hot in that new look, but why is there still that scowl of discontent on her face? Must be Miharu……

And now for the sweetest member of the group, 高橋ありさ, or AliCE <3<3<3.

Yep that is still the dreamy wonderland Alice whom used to be known as SOTOHANA RISA <3<3<3.

P.S Right now the links are being cut and overloaded due to the sudden upsurge of news (news sure do travel fast, I just got back from camp a few hours ago). I will upload their recent photos later. But here are the links you can check out if you want to.

UPDATE : The links are back online after severe raping by some fans (I think xD). Your turn now. xD

Kobayashi Ayako AKA Arisawa Miharu

ALiCE AKA Sotohana Risa

Komatsu Nao AKA Komatsu Yoma

There is also something else to check out. It is Orange Range’s Shiawase Neiro (シアワセネイロ) PV. Kinda sweet if you ask me, and the full version is certainly 100x times better than the clipped version in Code Geass R2’s EP.

I am off to do some more stuff, more updates tomorrow!!

POP LOH!!!

Okay this is old news for 4 days but I have passed out!

Been having too much stuff these days to blog.

Anyway I am going to PC Show tomorrow. Get some loot out tomorrow. xD

Nights peeps.
