Hoshi no Blanco [Type A]MoeMiYou will go in another musical world!
You will go in another musical world! There are only 2 songs in this CD with their musical versions. One might think that this is not a lot. But we do not judge a CD by the quantity of songs. In this case, we are in front of an artist of a level of vocal quality rarely reached nowadays. There is an almost magical, hypnotic aspect. As for the songs themselves, we reach a level of perfection that is truly of an emotionally overwhelming perfection. From the musical instruments chosen, there is an almost symphonic aspect... And all the more technical work done in the recording studio is also of a quality that we do not find enough nowadays. It is a very high quality work! This CD is like a powerful and magical mix of melodies that remind us of the most beautiful songs of the greatest singers of previous generations, but with very modern melodies. The restitution on CD is simply sublime: we almost have the feeling of listening to a Super Audio CD (DSD format, so high resolution!)... Finally we can say that after listening to this CD, it is difficult to come back down to Earth quickly: we are psychologically and emotionally as if in a state of weightlessness... I am waiting with great impatience for a next CD, and even more a first concert. If they are at this level of quality, it will be dazzling. A very beautiful revelation for your servant. Madame MoeMi is simply exceptional!!! As well as all the people who participated in the creation of this CD.

"Touken Ranbu (Musical )" - E On Stage - Shinpen Satomi Hakken Den -Musical "Touken Ranbu"The play within a play
This is by far my favourite side story of the Touken Ranbu musicals. It's so funny to watch since it is not only a play within a play, but also an adaptation within an adaptation as the Gou Swords try to put up a stage of an old Japanese story - while they themselves already are an adaptation of the game. This is also the musical with the longest run time of 3 hours 35 minutes, and dicided into three parts - the planning part, the stage part and the idol live part. I also love how they managed to include Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide in such a lovely manner. It's really one of the best musicals in the francise. I also recommend this musical to people who aren't necessarily so fond of the Gou Swords. As their singing has improved since the Toukyou Kokoro Oboe part it's is a delight to watch it.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" Go On Stage Zepp TourMusical "Touken Ranbu"This one is so funny
The Gou On Stage side story really deserved the special concert that is the Zepp Tour! Not only did they include the funniest Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide, but they really put a lot of energy into making new songs and performances. I also highly recommend this concert if you ship the characters Oodenta Mitsuyo and Suishinshi Masahide as they have a lot of interactions here. The main concert is about 1 hour and 45 minutes long, but you'll also get three more discs worth of bonus material such as focus shots of the different characters.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" Uta Awase Ranbu Kyoran 2019Musical Touken RanbuThis is like Hanamaru
Ah, I remember attending this musical concert live in 2019 when I was traveling Japan <3 And it really wasn't easy to get the tickets. But now, to this special Touken Ranbu musical concert: it feels like a huge Hanamaru upset, small stories about the different Touken Danshi's everyday life and they are all intertwined into an overarching story about summoning a new Touken Danshi in a shintou ritual. There are some original songs to the special musical concert, just like in most of the other ones. Most importantly the small daily stories of the honmaru are mostly comedic. Especially Tonbokiri's part is hilarious! You will have a good laugh, but also a good time overall with all their partying-songs. I'm really happy with this DVD, especially because I now can re-watch it in new year times, because I think it really fits that special season.

"Touken Ranbu (Musical)" - Hanakage Yureru Tomizu -Musical "Touken Ranbu"The tame musical
This musical has an incredible dark tone, which partly comes due to the story, but also the songs. There are many slow, dark and moody songs in the main plot. The Team is quite different and not really working together (again!). A part of the teams is forgetting about a certain member and besides their usual mission they're giving themselves even more struggle by having another additional mission which is very difficult to accomplish. I wonder why there's no sign of Mikazuki, since the entire story is really dire. However this musical adds to the lore of the Touken Danshi and undermines also why Imanotsurugi and Iwatooshi exist - but I won't spoil that for you. Although the songs in this musical are very slow and calm, the idol live part in the second part tho... Those are the most upbeat songs and they're all very cheerful and uhm maybe a little suggestive. So the idol part definitely does make up to contrast the main part songs. That's really cool!

Kenja no PropellerSusumu HirasawaStunningly beautiful
I was floored by this album. I originally sought it out because of the work the artist did for one of my favorite movies, Millennium Actress. I thought the score complemented the film very well and I watched the entire credit roll with tears in my eyes just to listen to that last track. The movie has powerful thematic elements that compel you to reflect on the human condition while challenging you to introspect and find beauty in hardship and the repetitive and often seemingly pointless nature of life. While I can not be 100% sure I really understand all that's going on with that track's lyrics through a English translation, it seemed fitting. Enough about the movie though. I expected this album to have some good tracks and be a pleasant listen. I did not expect it to become one of my personal favorites at the moment. It is a work that masterfully blends folk, techno, and orchestral music with powerful vocal delivery and rich atmosphere. Every track has something different to offer. I am going to try and not make this any more long-winded than it already is, but I will say if you as someone outside of Japan have stumbled upon this man's work at all and think you might want to dip your toes into this album, do it. I am excited to continue to explore his work and will probably start by going through P-Model starting with the 1988 line up because I like the imagery from it I have seen online. My wallet will probably be crying by the time I have sourced everything I want to listen to.

"Touken Ranbu" Musical: Tsuwamono Domo ga Yume no AtoMusical Touken RanbuMy very favourite!!
This is my absolute favourite musical part of Touken Ranbu! This is the musical which made me really fall for the musical adaptations! The sortie is superb, the actors are all great and it's about Minamoto no Yoshitsune again. There's a lot of drama in it, Mikazuki Munechika is acting shady and internal conflicts are growing explicitly in the story. There's comedy in some scenes as Welly so it's not all dark. Tsuwamonodomo has one of the coolest themes songs "Be in sight" and I'm really in love with all the Mikazuki Munechika focused songs. I can highly recommend this musical part. By the way it's the last part which you can watch independently from other parts. From here on onwards all musicals are connected and create a broader and wider plot, so I suggest you to be aware of small details when you watch this musical part. Also the idol live part has some great outfits and songs as well!

Musical "Touken Ranbu" 5th Anniversary: Kotobuki Ranbu Onkyokusai [Limited Edition]Musical Touken RanbuReminiscing 5 years of musicals
Holy carp I'm so excited to finally having obtained this musical and then it is even the Limited Edition!!! I'm over the moon! So let me just tell you the extras on the special discs are so worth the money and struggle! I'm so impressed by the actors, especially Kuroba Mario who was on the verge of tears several times during the numbers. The musical part features the most iconic songs of a wide variety of musical parts and the idol live numbers also are catchy and the funniest thing is that they're performing in suits and evening wear. Kotobuki Ongyokusai is alongside the Itsukushima Jinja and 2019 Ongyokusai specials my favourite. I can only recommend you to get this, either as the limited edition or the normal edition. If you're interested in interviews and backstages please get the limited edition because you'll have 5 discs to go through.

Touken Ranbu: Tokyo ShinkakuMusical "Touken Ranbu"A psychological ride!
This musical part is one of my favourites! And I finally have it on my shelf as well! First off, this part is not easy to follow or understand. It's all a psychological story and gives us a first glimpse of a "isolated" timeline and we also get first hints about Mikazuki Munechika's overarching plot and what he's been up to since Tsuwamonodomo. Also the idol live number is so great as well! Thanks to this musical I turned into a bog fan of Oodenta Mitsuyo. This one is highly recommended!

TRiDENT Dream Up Tour at Zepp Shinjuku [Limited Release]
TRiDENTTRiDENT Dream Up Tour at Zepp Shinjuku [Limited Release]TRiDENTTRiDENT Dream Up Tour [Limited Release]Admittedly, this BluRay is not cheap. Is it worth its price? Let's see what we get for 10,000 yen. In a nice cardboard slipcase we find 2 BluRays as well as a very nice 48-page photo book with snapshots of the concert. The concert is on the first disk. Here we experience a band in very good form. ASAKA, SERINA and NAGISA look so happy. They are clearly enjoying this show. The audience also plays a big part in this. Right from the start, it's full of cheering, singing along and crowdsurfing. I would have wished for the the additon of one or two of my favorite songs, but even so, the setlist barely leaves something to be desired: 01 KICKASS - 02 JUST FIGHT - 03 DISCORD - 04 DISTINATION - 05 RIDE ON - 06 Repaint - 07 Bite the bullet - 08 Utopia - 09 twinkle - 10 Spoopy - 11 Endorouru - 12 Continue - 13 CRY OUT - 14 NEO FUTURE - 15 Shigunaru - Encores: 01 be with you - 02 KICKASS On the 2nd BluRay we find the song KICKASS in four versions: ASAKA cam, SERINA cam, NAGISA cam and a FIX POINT cam. Very nice, as you can follow your favorite member through the whole song. So, is this package worth the price? I would say yes, because you get 2 discs, a photo book, it's fun to watch, and it gives fans from overseas the opportunity to experience this great band live without having to travel to Japan. And the dedicated fans will buy it anyway.

This is a more metal version of Unlucky Morpheus without Fuki singing, although she is featured on one track. Shiren is an amazing songwriter and it really shows on this, great stuff.
