MM: Naruto Special

After the last Animated Wednesday I've kinda gone a bit Naruto crazy. So I found and downloaded all the Naruto opening and closing tunes onto my phone so I can listen to it when ever I want. Even at work (not that I would do that, damn I slow not stupid).
Any way here are my personal favorites and the lyrics as well (both in Japanese and English)

Enjoy =0)

ビバ・ロック／Orange Range

Just a quick note before people send the hate mail. These are the full versions of all the songs and how the bands have released them. NOT what the songs are from the actual opening and ending of the Naruto anime. Yeah I only just remembered that after finding the Orange Range video. Talking about the video, I really love the dude in the white shirt's hat. I want one.

I know the subs aren't perfectly time but this was the best I could find. I still love the songs and when it comes to J pop I don't normally care what it means in English. Bad I know but how can you when you just hear the upbeat and tempo.

I'm not going to post a video with subs for this one. I think you know what his saying.

So, there you have it. Not only one but three songs from my music collection. Told you it was wide a varied. Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't then just post a comment and say why. If you did then post a comment anyway. I like comments =0)

Animated Wednesdays:

The final one of my ideas for the Guaranteed Three. Animated Wednesdays is as the name suggests about animation. Any type, Anime, Flash Animation, Manga, the list goes on.

I been searching the web to find an animation that will do this first post justice. Now there is good news and bad news. Now the good news. I found a REALLY good animation. The bad. It's on Newgrounds. That means that I can't embed the flash video. But if you click on the picture below then you will be taken to the animation "Legend Of Miyamoto". Just click on "Play Movie".

So what do you think? You know this really happened to Miyamoto in real life. Actually it is now officially the reason of where he got his ideas of (at least on this blog it is).
The flash is well edited and the syncing to the music is incredible. I miss Fat Boy slims old stuff. I hopes he makes another classic like Gangster Tripping soon.


Well there you have it the beginning of my Guaranteed Three. Hope you liked them. And now for you, the readers, to help be decide how I will do my future posts. Now that you know what the layout is going to be I would like you vote in a poll. It's as easy as that. All I ask is that you click on what you think and submit it. Also if you chose "Other" please post what "Other" is as a comment to this post. I will carry on the Guaranteed Three for another week until the end of the poll and obviously depending on the outcome I will carry on or leave it.

Also don't think that the random posts will stop. They will carry on just I'm not saying that they will be every day. A guy needs a break once in a while. Anyway I'm rambling as usual so I'm gonna go. Toodles.

MM: Hadouken!

Continuing with my Guaranteed Three I bring you my Musical Mondays.
I'm going to delve into the depths of my very own music collection. I must warn you in advance however, that it's not all pretty. (I'm pretty sure I got a Britney Spears album in there somewhere).
The very first musical offering I'll be giving you is the band Hadouken!


It's hard to give this band a genre as their music sounds like so many things rolled into one. You can hear an influence of the old 8-bit games thrown in as well. I'm not good at describing why I like music. I like the songs I hear because I do. Oh but they do have to follow two rules. I have to understand what's being said (all the better for Karaoke), and have a decent tune (preferably with a guitar solo thrown in for good measure).
The first song that was released by Hadouken! was That Boy That Girl on the 7/5/08 (remember in england the date is dd/mm/yy) followed a month later by Liquid Lives which I found the video for and will be showing you.

Hadouken! - Liquid Lives

Refreshing, is it not? I know one thing is for sure. Most people will be having the main lryics running though their heads. "Drink, Smoke, F**k, Fight". Damn I forgot how long it took till I managed to get that out of head. Oh well at least its not a crappy tune.

UPDATE

I've just found out that Hadouken! have released the album "Music For An Accelerated Culture" into the Americas today. I strongly advice you to at least preview it though iTunes.

Good luck to them. I hope it sells well.
