We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
For all of the music videos that we have spotlighted
We got to listen to Alec Chamber’s’ single “Whole Again”, now we get to see his music video for the single. The single was already catchy and now we have a music video that has a nice romantic story flow to it. These are the type of music videos I enjoy rather than just see the performer. Great job. Check it out through Alec’s YouTube channel – Richard:
Some J-Pop/Rock love. Nana Mizuki’s “Eden” came out this last week of January 12 – 18 and ranked #2 on the Oricon’s CD single chart. During this time the some sold 43,413 copies. Below you can see the short version of the music video of “Eden” through YouTube:
Here is the first part of Clemency’s music video series You’ve Got the Fire, “Color Hit the Canvas”. We previewed the trailer earlier and now Jason and Paul Watkins have begun their story. We will be featuring each part so that when it is done everyone will be able to enjoy the music and story through Clemency’s YouTube channel. Thanks to Margo for alerting us about this series starting.
“Black Cat White Cat” is the debut single for Annalibera’s upcoming album Nevermind I Love You. “Black Cat White Cat” is a moody song and will be one that you listen to when you are contemplating things and need some alone time. Annalibera has a clear voice, but she with her softer voice the instruments can over power her at times. Let that voice come through and shine. Nevermind I Love You will be coming out on March 24, so for a sneak peak listen to “Black Cat White Cat” through SoundCloud – Richard:
Tom Levin is one that surprised me. Tom comes to us from Sweden with his debut single “Mind’s Eye”. Looking at the pic above most people will wonder if this will be for them. However, when you listen to Tom he has a very clear voice. The opening hits you in the face with a tribal feel and then when Tom comes in the single takes on an almost folk feel. So I guess you could say it has a tribal/folk feeling. The lyrics are fun and with his baritone/bass voice gives it a powerful tone as well. Take a listen through SoundCloud – Richard
This is a promising start for Jeanine. “Runnin'” reminded me of something Diana Ross might sing, just in a higher register. I have to say I love the Wolverine pic above. Anyway back to the single. Jeanine even with a higher voice, she is very clear with her lyrics, which is difficult for a higher register singer. I also loved the up beat of “Runnin” . The beat does get a little repetitive, but I believe that was what Jeanine was going for. By the time the single is finished the listener is wore out, just like you would be if you were running. Definitely interested in her future releases. Take a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:

HerMajesty gives us their latest single “Days Turn into Nights”. This single is a real moody single. With this single herMajesty has to be careful because the lead singers voice is right on the edge of being lost in the instrumentals, but it hovers right above that threshold. “Days Turn into Nights” feels like you are in a bath and have warm water slowly being poured over you, while you have a nice drink or if someone has joined you for some welcome activities.

Here is the latest single from The Great Work, “Yellow Diamond”. This has a nice rock feel that everyone will like. For me the instruments over powered the vocalist and to me would be more a more enjoyable single if they group could balance out their sound. Give it a listen through SoundCloud – Richard:
