Anime Central: First Share and She is Lovely!!

YUKINO (Born July 8th, 1991) is a Japanese female vocalist and a radio personality. She was born in Fukuoka, and grew up in Yokohama. Yukino is a rising star in Japanese music industry today.

When Yukino was a child, she enjoyed singing American hard rock, funk, and R&B music. By the time she was a teenager, she dreamed to be a singer, and started vocal training with a voice trainer. Before she made her debut, her songs were used as theme songs of Japanese TV programs due to her characteristic voice and outstanding vocalization skills.

In February 2012, Yukino made her debut, and her first EP “You make me blue” was released by Nippon Columbia (Columbia Records in Japan). “RanTiKi” is one of Yukino’s most well-known songs as it was featured as the opening theme song of Japanese TV animation “BAKUMATSU GIJINDEN ROMAN,” which was designed by MONKEY PUNCH, the original creator of the “LUPIN THE THIRD” series.

Her 1st full album “VOCALIZE” was unveiled in March, 2013. Needless to say, “RanTiKi” is the lead track of this album. You can enjoy her powerful, sexy and sensitive vocal styles in many genres such as jazz, funk, rock, R&B, dance, and ballad.

Yes... Yes she is lovely, we got a meet and greet... as part of the Anime Central list of who's who! More to come... she sings for us and it will be for everyone's ears.

Star Trek: Into the Darkness... Hey Wait a Second!

So after a long weekend of a fantastic time at the ANIME CENTRAL, somehow I got to see this little Screen-Gem of a film called "Star Trek". I wasn't sure what I was watching cause I have never heard of this film or series before and so without spoilers... Here we go.

First I am kidding about this film, I have been and always will be a fan of this franchise known as Star Trek... many of you are just the same. I enjoyed this film, I wanted to see it again right after the first end credit began to roll. There is a twist and there is a turn, but there is also a story... not just let's blow something up. Seems like I wasn't the only one to see this over the weekend, hope it holds strong.

I am going to start sharing some of the photos I had taken at the Anime Central, so look for those if that is your cup of tea... I have a week of freelance, so I have not had the time to edit anything yet.

MANGA, What is it REALLY?

Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century.They have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.

Kanagaki Robun and Kawanabe Kyosai created the first manga magazine in 1874: Eshinbun Nipponchi. The magazine was heavily influenced by Japan Punch, founded in 1862 by Charles Wirgman, a British cartoonist. Eshinbun Nipponchi had a very simple style of drawings and did not become popular with many people. Eshinbun Nipponchi ended after three issues. The magazine Kisho Shimbun in 1875 was inspired by Eshinbun Nipponchi, which was followed by Marumaru Chinbun in 1877, and then Garakuta Chinpo in 1879. Shōnen Sekai was the first shōnen magazine created in 1895 by Iwaya Sazanami, a famous writer of Japanese children's literature back then. Shōnen Sekai had a strong focus on the First Sino-Japanese War.

Sorry for the quick history lesson, I really thought it was the same thing as ANIME... I really need to get my terms right or Anime Central Convention will eat me alive...

 You might ask yourself what that is, well look below in today's earlier posts. Also... I am really hating the CAPTCHA sites, I have great friends with great posts and still they leave these damn things on. Topper too is then they have the "Approval" on too... trust me you can just turn off "ANONYMOUS" and 95% of your worries are gone. So to those friends, sorry I visit... no more comments.

I am not a robot!
