Anime4chan – Live Stream Anime Community

•October 5, 2017 • 1 Comment

That’s it for the update. I hope you enjoy these city pop and various other artists posted. I want to take this time to invite anyone interested in anime to a community I have been a part of for a while. This is a live-stream anime chatroom/community. Every Saturday and Sunday at 19:00 ET (23:00 UTC), we watch hours of anime based on a schedule.

Saturday – New seasonal shows currently airing, mixed with some old shows.
Sunday – All old shows and classics.

The link to our room is here. https://cytu.be/r/anime4chan

You will also need the following user script installed via greasemonkey or tampermonkey:

This Saturday in particular, 10/7, marks the start of the new anime season, so we will be marathoning the first episode of a lot of new shows that have aired starting at 15:00 ET (19:00 UTC) The way the schedule works is, at the start of each season we watch a ton of shows. Most of them are really, really bad. That’s just the state of the anime industry. But we find the gems in the pile of dirt, and build a schedule around it. So if you want to tune in to watch ridiculously bad anime, we will be doing at at 15:00 ET this Saturday, with the (potentially) good shows starting later in the night around 19:00 ET.

I know a lot of people into Japanese music also enjoy anime, so come join us on the weekends! I will keep my username in the room anonymous for various reasons, maybe eventually you will figure out which user I am in there.

In the mean time, feel free to post any suggestions or requests for future updates! I have been busy and I am not caught up with the biggest releases of 2017, so anything from this year you think I should check out would be appreciated.

矢野顕子 – JAPANESE GIRL [1976]

•October 5, 2017 • 2 Comments

矢野顕子 (Akiko Yano) is one of my most favorite artists I’ve discovered since Midori. Wild, jazzy and genre-hopping much like Midori, she’ll go from using synthesizers on one song to using traditional Japanese chanting/instruments in the next song. Whoever wrote the last.fm bio for her is spot on as well:

Her music is by turns playful, heartfelt, melodic, ornate, and disarmingly simple, reflecting a love of music in all its forms and colors. She handles moody new wave, virtuosic fusion, traditional jazz ballads, straightahead pop, and singer-songwriter folk songs with equal aplomb.

I suggest starting with JAPANESE GIRL and ただいま。
