fripSide video message for MANTAN TV

Posted by Katie on

This is so funny, these two have some great personalities

N: “On 8/24, our 4th single Heaven is a-”
Y: “4TH SINGLE?!”
N: “our 4th single!”
Y:  ”our 4th single!”
N: “our 1, 2, 3, 4th!”

N:”4th single, Heaven is a Place on Earth-”
Y: “A place on earth?”
N: “yes, a place on earth”
Y: “ah, gotcha”

N: “will go on sale”
Y: “it’ll go on sale?!”

N: “what kind of song is it?”
Y: ” a summer one!”

N: “And we also made a PV”
Y: “a PV?”
N: “….a promotion video”

Anyway, besides these parts, it’s basically a video version of what they discussed in the Q&A from a couple weeks ago.

Oricon numbers are in

Posted by Katie on

and Heaven is a Place on Earth holds on at #20. They were up against some tough competition this week and from previous weeks. Still, awesome job!!! I hope it’ll see a better ranking as the week goes on and will do as well as the previous singles.

RO-KYU-BU!’s debut single SHOOT!, composed by Sat, debuted on the weekly Oricon chart at #10 with 17,392 copies sold. I like that song, too.

m.o.v.e to cover fripSide’s only my railgun

Posted by Katie on

m.o.v.e is releasing the third volume in their anim.o.v.e series where the group covers songs of anime. anim.o.v.e 03, set for release on Sept 7, will include their own eurobeat dance cover of only my railgun!

You can listen to the preview on the album’s page. Sounds like there’s going to be at least some insert raps! Looking forward to that~. I like their arrangement, but I’m not sure how I feel about Yuri’s vocals on this one

fripSide Animelo Shirts & Towel

Posted by Katie on

Animelo site revealed the artist goods for this year and fripSide has 3 different shirts (1 design from last year) and 2 towels. Like most fripGoods, these carry a techno/binary/computer chip theme. This year’s little animal is a mini lizard (last year at the infinite synthesis concert, some of the goods had a butterfly).

Can see them all here.

The lizard is awfully adorable~ what do you think? Haven’t looked to see if there’s a place to purchase them anywhere but the concert venue.

PS: new single release in one week!

PS II: this was my 200th post on WP! very anti-climatic if you ask me
