“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:

Konami will be releasing a new 52 card, all foil card, set called Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG: World Superstars, on April 17. The set will be available in packs for $3.99 for five cards. A complete set will include 18 prismatic secret rares and 48 super rares. Many of the cards where only released in Japan and Korea previously. Logan will be going bonkers trying to get his set.
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.

Yano Research has finished a report that gives the digital content numbers for the last year in Japan. In the digital book category, approximately 65 Billion Yen or 540 Million Dollars was spent on digital manga. This accounts for 80% of the overall digital book market. If only people in the United States would shed the concept of comic books only for kids, we could have a bigger interest here.
