Link for those of you who can't (won't?) play the above
I know I haven't posted in a while but it's awesome so I'm posting this everywhere. His name is Hiromitsu Agamatsu and he's a renowned prodigy of sorts on the shamisen, introducing a modern twist on an instrument of great antiquity. It can be haunting and beautiful whilst having a unique presence due to the modern musical angle. The movement of the music, style and expression is all really quite cool, being marketed as "Neo-Classical Japanese" by some. |

| Just a few things |

First:
I am now of sorts a part of the AKG K-DJ headphone club :p Not the K81DJs but the K518DJs, pretty much the same 'cept they're almost completely black.

They are very much awesome :D Thanks Billidan to raving on about em to me xp
Second:
I finally got around to playing Kingdom Hearts Two (it is a very cool game :D) and due to being engrossed in a boss fight I kinda forgot about the auction for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles I was watching. If anyone could help me acquire a PAL copy I would be most grateful.
Third/Last/Not Least:
What else needs to be said? Due out in May for a cost of 5,000 yen as a special issue of the Zoids Monthly series. Twin Horn and pals also look to be future releases.

Random Edit:
(1:00:12 AM) tilly: I bet they sound shiny D:
(1:00:39 AM) me: They have a depth of sound I have never heard before, even on my friend's "street" AKGs
(1:00:48 AM) me: Depth, clarity, character
(1:01:14 AM) me: And bass that could punch you in the brain :D
(1:01:29 AM) tilly: :D
(1:01:34 AM) me: ....that's probably the brain damage talking |

| | Coheed and Cambria - Mother Superior (duh) | ] |
Damn you Bree, I have fallen in love with the sheer awesome that is Mother Superior such that even now I'm going through the tab for the song, I even torrented Guitar Pro 5 for the express purpose of helping me learn it xp
It's kinda frustrating too, the album doesn't come out here till Monday and no one here knows who Coheed and Cambria are! Furthermore there's no one online I can brain splurge to about how Godly awesome Mother Superior is!

I also need correct lyrics for Mother Superior. So far it'd seem that the people on the interwebs are retarded. Me, possibly included. |

I got bored so here, have some songs.
Mission Impossible by Nick Mansell
Listen to it up loud. Really loud.
( Lyrics under cut )
And two songs from Pokemon DP, a "dramatic" piano bit that plays as you enter the room the Chmapion is in and then the song that plays during the ensuing epic battle (which is REALLY #%*#!^#@ing hard).
66-Champion Shirona
67-Combat! Champion
Possibly a spoiler via the song title but they changed the names around so it's all cool. Sometimes I wonder why they don't change names. Who the hell calls a guy Tabitha? Also, as you can see from the song titles whoever names the songs for Pokemon either wanted to leave it crystal clear as to which song played when or has an accute deficiency in the imagination department. After titles like Those Who Fight Further and Stab The Sword Of Justice it really loses a bit. |
