Has it been 10 days already?! Today's selection comes from the recent simulcast on Funimation Now title ID: Invaded. The song is The Other Side by Miyavi. Pretty cool series and interesting song. It's used as the closing music of the episodes.

Enjoy!

I was all prepared to post a specific song today, but when I went into YouTube to grab the link to the video, I just found this song today as a suggestion. It is another song by RADWIMPS (sorry for focusing on them!), Light the Light. I would ask that you also take a moment and go to YouTube and read the post the...

For today's listening enjoyment, I give you My Soul, Your Beats! by LiSA. This song actually has 2 different versions used in the anime Angel Beats. This is the 'rock' version, performed in the anime by Girls Dead Monster. There is also an acoustic version used for the opening sequence that is phenomenal.

Enjoy!

For Day Seven, I'm going to stay on the more 'mellow' side of my playlist. I'm also returning to RADWIMPS for this song, Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?. This was from the Anime movie Weathering With You, which I had the pleasure of seeing in a limited theatrical release of the English dub.

If you get a chance to see...

Okay, I know I skipped the weekend, so this is Day Six (instead of Eight).

For today, I slowed down the beat and picked a more mellow song. This is also by my favorite J-Pop composer, Sawano Hiroyuki. I found this song when downloading a few others. This one, Release My Soul featuring Aimee Blackschlegger, instantly became a favorite. It's from the Anime Guilty Crown...

So being a big Godzilla / Gojira fan, I found this track from the animated Godzilla trilogy that I watched on Netflix last year. The track is "The Sky Falls", by XAI.

Enjoy!

I picked something upbeat for Day Four. This will also be the first one that doesn't have English vocals, but it's still fabulous song. The artist is flumpool and the song is "Yoru Ha Nemurerukai?".

Enjoy!

Day Three bring a relatively new addition to my playlist, courtesy of the Anime "Fairy Gone" I have been watching on Funimation Now. The track is "Backtrack" by (K)NoW_NAME.

This song just has a very unique sound and the fusion of so many styles and it WORKS!

Enjoy!!

For Day Two, I've selected a song from one of my 'new' favorite composers, Sawano Hiroyuki. The song is BRE@TH//LESS by Mika Kobayashi, from the Aldnoah.Zero soundtrack.

The interesting thing is, there are TWO versions of this song. The version above is from a special CD that was included with the Japanese Blu-Ray release. Below is the original song as used in the anime. I...

So, Russ has decided as an activity for the Quarantine, I will share some music from my Anime / J-Pop playlist to see if anyone likes it. I just started this on my Facebook page as well, so I thought I would do it here as well. I'll try to do one a day. Don't worry, I'm not going to share all 200+ songs in...

Not sure what's up with Mother Nature, but two straight days of Tornado Watches is exceedingly uncommon around here, not to mention scary. And the constant Severe Thunderstorm Warnings all day... Got drenched earlier coming back from the store. Yowza!

So what crazy / uncommon weather has there been around you??
