I'm finally back! I hope you didn't forget about this lovely blog <33 

    Talking about forgotten stuff, today's "Take Notice" post is dedicated to one of those bands you hear once in a drama or anime theme, fall in love with it, but never hear news about it after the debut. It's time for Real Paradis' single "Kaze to Oka no Ballad"~

    Used as the ending theme for "Nodame Cantabile Finale", "Kaze to Oka no Ballad" is some kind of magical song. I say that because it just binds you to its melody. I'd never heard about the members of this group nor could find any useful info on the internet. Still, I just felt so attracted by this tune! It's soothing, beautiful and in great harmony with the anime's mood. It's been a year since I first listened to it, but right now I'm listening to it with the same interest and admiration as if it was the first time! Oh, and the off-vocal version in the single is a great addition to the package~

    After the amazing title song, there's yet another song to listen. "L.M.L." is a typical pop coupling song, though it doesn't hurt the single's greatness. I would call it a perfect "traveling song". It's kinda cool and you won't even notice time passing by while listening to this song. Unfortunately, this group is so underground and mysteriously forgotten that I don't even have a video of the B-side to post here... :(

    Real Paradis, what happened to you? Your debut song, which I don't even know if it's really a debut song, is so awesome and brilliant that I can't understand what made you disappear... I hope to hear more about this group someday. (if someone knows anything please tell me!) Remember, if you liked this song, please help the artists by purchasing their music. Maybe if everyone who liked this song had bought the single, Real Paradis would be releasing much more new stuff now! *---*

    BUT, on the other hand, that means vacations are coming and many many posts will be written next month so no need to PANIC XD

    That's it for now, see ya :333~ 

    OK, I was trying to wait for the full "Hot Summer" music video before making this post, but SM isn't being my friend today so I'll just use the teaser. ò.ó

    The exist†trace fierce girls are back with an astounding album and lead track. "TRUE" is really cruel and brings back memories from "resonance", which was definitely their best track yet. I just hope they continue this kind of work and forget about some singles released in the past...

    Don't worry, I won't make a fanboy party in this part about "Hot Summer". Well, it is a FREAKING AWESOME SONG OMG MY LIFE IS COMPLETE, but SM is keeping the MV for them lol... So I'll just post the teaser here while I go plan my vicious vengeance in case they don't release the full version TODAY. <3
