NKDS

I just got back from Saitama Super Arena and I thought I would pen down my thoughts for this year. Nothing but words so be careful.

Day 1
1 『レスキューファイアー』/JAM Project×栗林みな実

OH MY GOD THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING.KONO MOTTO MOTTO! MOTTO MOTTO! IMHO this should be listed as just JAM. Heh. Talk about power-packed openings.

2 『only my railgun』/fripSide
3 『LEVEL5-judgelight-』/fripSide

NANJOU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Man, they rocked. Sat’s gotta be happy that he’d finally got the chance to be at Animelo. And thanks for telling us ‘KIMI TACHI WA LEVEL 6!’. Props for that, man!

4 『オルタナティヴ』/angela
5 『Separation』/angela
6 『蒼い春』/angela

They’re okay, I guess. Atsuko was really pushing her voice in the first two songs. Aoi Haru was fun, though. HAI HAI HAI HAI! And KATSU did his Gihren Zabi thing during the final messages. Watching the entire line-up do SIEG ZEON was epic.

7 『遠くまで～infinity～』/高橋直純
8 『クローバー』/高橋直純

He’s finally back after two years. The girls screaming for him were plentiful. Some guys joined in as well lol.

9 『月導』/南里侑香
10 『雫』/南里侑香

Yuuka’s always good but I’m not to familiar with these songs.

11 『Dear My Friend-まだ見ぬ未来へ-』/ELISA
12 『Real Force』/ELISA

People were using UOs for these two songs, that is all. I never expected her songs to be UO ones. Oh, and Elisa got us to call her name duing the B melody parts.

13 『逆光』/石川智晶
14 『涙腺』/石川智晶

Read my comments on Yuuka. People were hoping for them to do some see-saw songs, but oh well.

15 『Find the blue』/いとうかなこ＋志倉千代丸
16 『スカイクラッドの観測者』/いとうかなこ＋志倉千代丸

Not into her sorry.

17 『Bad Apple!!』/nomico(のみこ)+Masayoshi Minoshima

Good distraction while they moved the backline. Nice song, pretty rocking.

18 『Braveheart』/THE GOMBAND
19 『ブラック★ロックシューター』/THE GOMBAND

Okay, I was not expecting them to BRS but that really got the crowd going.

20 『鳥の詩』/Lia
21 『My Soul,Your Beats!』/Lia

The new mother returns! Awesome as always.

22 『Alchemy【marina】』/Girls Dead Monster(LiSA,marina)
23 『Crow Song【Lisa】』/Girls Dead Monster(LiSA,marina)
24 『Brave Song』/Lia×Girls Dead Monster(LiSA,marina)

Marina was okay. Lisa was FREAKING AWESOME. And cute with that pink skirt. But Brave Song redone as rock? Come on! And Ichiban no Takaramono

25 『Butterfly Kiss』/米倉千尋
26 『WILL』/米倉千尋
27 『ゆずれない願い』/米倉千尋×田村直美

Chihi’s good as always. BUT YUZURU NEGAI WITH NAOMI TAMURA. YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

28 『Crystal Energy』/栗林みな実
29 『冥夜花伝廊』/栗林みな実
30 『あんりある♥パラダイス』/栗林みな実

Minami’s always good. Her getup was cute this year. Red and white frilly thing. BUT PLEASE! THREE OF HER UO SONGS IN A ROW? That is enough to kill a lot of people. And followed by…

31 『Now loading…SKY!!』/Sphere-スフィア-
32 『Super Noisy Nova』/Sphere-スフィア-
33 『Future Stream』/Sphere-スフィア-

I felt like I was going to die. Six UO fast paced songs in a row. But it was worth it. Daddy’s proud of his daughters

34 『欲望∞』/GRANRODEO
35 『ROSEHIP‐BULLET』/GRANRODEO
36 『Once＆Foever』/GRANRODEO

\m/ Tokyo Dome, bros. Tokyo Dome.

37 『MAXIMIZER』/JAM Project
38 『TRANCEFORMERS EVO. 』/JAM Project
39 『HERO』/JAM Project
40 『GONG～SKILL』JAM Project

The intro video for JAM this year was EPIC. Transformers EVO is a muffler song. And I not afraid to admit, I was crying during the GONG singalong. It was so beautiful…

～アンコール～
EN-1 『RE:BRIDGE～Return to oneself～』/アニサマ2009テーマソング
EN-2 『evolution ～for beloved one～』/アニサマ2010テーマソング

Day 2
1 『創聖のアクエリオン』/茅原実里×May’n

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. BUCHOU, MINORIN, AISHITERU!

2 『Paradise Lost』/茅原実里
3 『優しい忘却』/茅原実里
4 『Freedom Dreamer』/茅原実里

YES, I GET TO PARADISE LOST CALLS AGAIN! EVERYBODY JUMP! HEY! But, don’t use that sort of hairstyle again, Minorin, it doesn’t suit you.

5 『バカ・ゴー・ホーム』/milktub
6 『Happy Go!!』/milktub
7 『Get Wild』/サイキックラバー×milktub
8 『超!最強!ウォーリアーズ』/サイキックラバー
9 『侍戦隊シンケンジャー』/サイキックラバー

Baka Go Home was nice. Imajo was rocking as usual. Other comments resevered.

10 『Astro Rider』/Crush Tears
11 『Communication Breakdown』/Crush Tears

Their songs ain’t half bad. But Yuu’s a mad woman who belongs in a mental institution. She was screaming like a mad woman during the MC. And the costume person ought to be shot. She was wearing pants D: And I hate the tech guy that had to adjust her mike and monitor at her butt.

12 『SERIOUS-AGE』/飛蘭
13 『戦場に咲いた一輪の花』/飛蘭
14 『Errand』/飛蘭

Skip.

15 『雨上がりのミライ』/ミルキィホームズ

They’re cute and got a really huge reception.

16 『恋華大乱』/奥井雅美
17 『Flower』/奥井雅美

Okay lar.

18 『Arrival of Tears』/彩音
19 『Angelic bright』/彩音
20 『Northern lights』/彩音×飛蘭

Okay. Northern Lights was a bad choice for both of them, honestly

21 『ドンドルベイビー』/桃井はるこ
22 『21世紀』/桃井はるこ
23 『勝利の女ネ申』/桃井はるこ

No cosplaying kickboxer for the last song? C’mon, Momoi!

24 『BELIEVE IN NEXUS』/遠藤正明
25 『Carry On』/遠藤正明

WAH LAO, NO YUUSHA OH TANJOU!

26 『薔薇獄乙女』/ALI PROJECT
27 『刀と鞘』/ALI PROJECT

In the words of mai Angel Beats waifu, TOI RE!

29 『ユニバーサル・バニー』/May’n
30 『愛は降る星のごとく』/May’n
31 『Ready Go!』/May’n

BUCHOU DAISUKI. And thanks for noticing the Animelo t-shirts that I have been wearing to AFA for the past two years.

32 『教えてA to Z』/田村ゆかり
33 『Tiny Rainbow』/田村ゆかり
33 『fancy baby doll』/田村ゆかり
34 『You ＆ Me feat.motsu』/田村ゆかりfeat.motsu

MOTSU! MOTSU! MOTSU! MOTSU! MOTSU! MOTSU! And I was trying to attract her attention with two UOs when she asked for overseas fans. I hope the rest of you didn’t steal my thunder.

35 『Shooting Star』/KOTOKO
36 『Loop-the-Loop』/KOTOKO
37 『Re-sublimity』/KOTOKO

Words cannot describe how I felt about this. It is a dream come true to see her live, much less at Animelo. And that she did Shooting Star and Resub was just perfect.

38 『Don’t be long.』/水樹奈々
39 『NEXT ARCADIA』/水樹奈々
40 『PHANTOM MINDS』水樹奈々
41 『UNCHAIN∞WORLD』水樹奈々×奥井雅美

It’s Nana, what else needs to be said. And looks like Makkun laid down the law, no one is to do duets with Nana except her, after what came out of the past two Animelos.

～アンコール～
EN-1 『Generation-A』/アニサマ2007テーマソング
EN-2 『evolution ～for beloved one～』/アニサマ2010テーマソング

I will not compare which was a better day because both are great in their own ways. But if I were to go by how tired I was, I was actually lying in front of the Bushiroad booth after the first day to recover. Kishow and Kage-nii both mentioned going to the Tokyo Dome for Animelo and that it should no longer be a dream but reality. And I met that Nana cosplayer today.

I love you, Animelo. I love you, anisong.
