A 2nd edition of ani-music selections to wind down to after a maddening day…

Music Post!

I did a similar ani-music compilation like this a while back and here I am with another fresh selection of tracks that I deemed as music to lighten the mood and ease one’s frenzied mind into a relaxing mode after a hard day’s slog. As before, I pick 10 tracks and each of them are from an anime soundtrack, composed by various composers. Of course, it is only natural that they are the ones I find enjoyable as stand alone pieces.  My idea of music to wind down to, are devoid of anything raunchy or loud and it is reflected in the pieces I have chosen for this post.  This tired mind likes to savour, quiet pleasant moments sprinkled with light notes of pick-me -ups. There’s a couple of decent old favourites but most are from fairly recent releases that are on my OST playlist.

So then, let the music speaks for itself…

From the desk: Having herbal tea and chasing the blues away with music

Ta dah…this is actually a small music post disguised as a random update (j/jkg)

Ya, Ayu is still very much alive although she’s been rather quiet. Quiet on the blogging scene but definitely not in the real world where things are mad cap busy. Been under the weather as well and is currently on medication to stave off the onset of a cold (flu). Hopefully, it won’t descend into a full blown mess. DO NOT WANT!

[OST] A listen to Shinrei Tantei Yakumo Original Soundtrack

Music Post: A sampling of TV Anime “Shinrei Tantei Yakumo Original Soundtrack”

Being an anime fan who loves music, I tend to take note of the music aspect of the anime I’m watching. Thus, I usually ended up checking out the original soundtrack album of the collected compositions and the composer whose scores aroused my aural curiosity. That said, it has been a while since I last share my thoughts on any particular anime soundtrack release. It’s not because there isn’t anything that interest me or that I’d given up gabbing about music. There are in fact, a handful of recent releases that I found to be highly enjoyable and worth my while. It’s just that the lack of time prevented me from giving them a discerning ear which one requires when one wants to write about them. In that regards, I’m happy to be back on track again with my first music post of 2011.

Tegami Bachi Original Soundtrack – Nocturne ~A Destiny~

Music Post!

“Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee) Original Soundtrack“

Some quick thoughts:

My initial impression of this soundtrack – a splendid listen, pleasantly so. Lots of harpsichords and light strings orchestration. That probably isn’t saying much but at least you know that I really like the album at first listen.

Music Post!

School Food Punishment is back with their 4th single release and they return to contribute the theme song for ‘Eden of the East Movie 1 – The King of Eden‘, which is currently playing in theaters across Japan.

Doesn’t Akira look like Morita with that festive beanie on?  And in celebration of his return to the screen, there’s nothing more fitting than listening to his theme…yup, it’s the ‘Naked Prince’.

Ani-music to lighten up the mood…

A Special Music Post!

I was inspired by Week 27 on MAL’s  ‘Anime Music Piece of the Week‘  where the theme chosen for that week is ‘Relaxing’. Therefore I decided to come up with my own selection of easy listening and relaxing tracks.
