TV Animation Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Character Songs Vol. 1

I’ve been listening to these songs. Songs from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni Character Songs Vol. 1 by Ushiromiya Maria and Ushiromiya Jessica. Both Horie Yui (seiyuu of Maria) and Inoue Marina (Jessica) are my all time favorite seiyuu. What are these songs basically? lol I don’t really know but truly it’s full of happiness, craziness, wonderful and full of moe. Hocchan (Horie Yui) is so wonderful in her song, Happy Halloween Maria.

Pick Up Voice 19 & Voice Newtype 32

Somewhat related with my previous post, I just scanned several prominent voice actresses from both magazines and post them here. Well, the word prominent there kinda exaggerated because they’re simply my favorites. Of course all of them are female, haha. Honestly, there are some male seiyuu who I believe them as very talented. Namely Tomokazu Sugita and Fukuyama Jun. Anyhow, let’s proceed with pictures. Starting with Pick Up Voice No. 19.

Well, that’s all. I should go sleeping by now. Laters.

Fiddlestick

No, I am not talking nonsense. I am somewhat making my old dream alive again. Maybe only a few of you knew about my old stuffs where I kinda interested to play a violin. I tried to find my old posts again when I was using Limbo but it’s broken. Frankly, I was even playing around with the violin case like putting my airsoft AK-47 inside just to mimic those assassins. Although I supposed to learn to play the damn thing rather than wasting it up. If I recalled correctly, I purchased the violin for about RM 300++ at Mid Valley. I think around the year 2005. I didn’t touch the thing for sometime. Until I got to know several musicians or at least people who know about music a little bit like eccentrical and others.

Well, yeah. I forgot almost everything about music...

Well, yeah. I forgot almost everything about music...

After a brief fiddling around the violin and reading the guides, I remember back on how to play simple scores. As usual, easy song like Ode to Joy by Beethoven was chosen. Simply because this was the song I fiddle around back then. But I am still a newbie. Thinking of getting fully understand the whole song and master it. >:3

This post has been hijacked with other stuffs. Last Saturday I bought 3 books from Kinokuniya, again. Well, I ordered Pick Up Voice and Voice Newtype magazines two weeks ago. Simply because both of the have Minorin’s posters. Because I was lazy to scan it, here goes the pictures I taken from the mags.

Obviously there are loads of Minorin pictures and others inside and I am lazy to scan them all. Haha. Bye.

Marina Inoue

It’s been some time I haven’t posting something about seiyuu. Well for this post, I am gonna talking about Marina Inoue. A 24 years old seiyuu who slowly starts her career through voice casting several minor characters from 2004. Well, Kanmuri Shigeru was quite an important character in Yakitate! Japan (and a female voice-casting a male character is not weird in seiyuu industry of Japan). She handled some prominent characters in year 2007 especially Kana Minami (Minami-ke), Yoko (Gurren Lagann) and Chiri Kitsu (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei). Succesful characters like those I said earlier boosted her career when she started having more jobs for main characters. For 2009′s animu, Alicia Melchiott (Valkyria Chronicles, also for the game) and Matsurika Shinouji (Maria+Holic) are her roles for voice casting. Despite being a rather multi-talented person, she only sings for characters’ songs and doesn’t have any personal album as of yet.

Personally, she’s quite thin. When watching some of her videos, I think she’s having some resemblances with Ami Koshimizu in terms of how she looks like. She has a mole on her left cheek. Not as near the left eye as Hirano Aya’s. Below are some pictures of her:

Some YouTube videos of her:

Interviewing Marina. (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load)

She went to Gainax Studio to learn some animation. (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load) The next is her PV for Getsumen to Heiki Mina (where she had her role as the main character)…

For those who have armpit fetishism, just watch at 1:15 for the win :3 (Click here in case the video above couldn’t load) You may read her daily blog at Marinavi.
