With all the despair and disgust surrounding our lives, we must turn to the greatest hero of our times to save us and end our week with something positive. And here she is!

And so, the day is saved, thanks to a blog cut.
"Medeta ya medeta" by toyu
In today’s installment, we look at an old Japanese music tradition: enka. The pithy explanation is that it’s the Japanese equivalent of an American country-western song, but instead of beer, trucks, dogs, and break-ups, there’s sake, sakura, nostalgia, and break-ups. Of course, that’s only a small fraction of the story. [...]
"W Ruko" by Mukki
It’s another edition of Weekend Spotlight. The current request: more covers. Look up what we’ve done before before investigating this week’s half-boiled list of hits.
Now, count up your songs!

This weekend is an interesting coincidence. Anime Expo is going on right now, with quite an array of guests. One being Megumi “Gumi” Nakajima (her Macross foil, May’n, is there, too) and another is Yuu “Luka” Asakawa. Such an odd pairing in such an odd place captures the imagination. Well, [...]
red2 is doing something difficult. Highlighting a song he doesn’t like. Hopefully he’ll be able to find something that makes it grow on [...]

Unfortunately, my seemingly endless job search has prevented this week’s column to be all that productive. My loss is your gain, however, which will be explained after the jump, but until then, enjoy what has to be one of the strangest on-the-job incidents anyone has ever seen.

Since JM will be a little bit busy with some errands to run just week, I guess I’ll be the first “guest-spotlighter” to take over for him… I always thought that there was a central theme to these articles, until recently I found out that it’s just “post Vocaloid-made or Vocaloid-related songs [...]

It goes without saying, but the fandom likes “magnet.” Not enough to make it Song of the Year, but it at least was an uncontested 2nd. With popular songs like this, covers, parodies, and all sorts of things come out of the woodwork as a show [...]

Quick show of hands: how many of you spent most of January 1 sleeping? Yeah, thought so. You aren’t alone. While a lot of you probably can remember what you did the last day of last “decade”, some of you may not. While you try to remember what you did overnight, [...]
