After a long time since her last single, Nana Mizuki is back with two simultaneous releases: "Scarlet Knight" and "POP MASTER". With a beautiful promotional video and her amazing vocals, I'm sure this will be yet another hit from Nana-chan!
"Scarlet Knight" PV Teaser - sorry, no full version on YouTube (but thanks to kawaiigirljapan for the teaser)
Polemics? Controversies? It's Rania time! LOL. "Dr Feel Good", the debut song of girl group Rania was revealed last week. It's reeeeally provocative, isn't it? But anyway, the song is awesome and these girls CAN sing after all. I just hope this excessive exposure doesn't end up being used against their future career!
Anime songs are definitely different from your usual J-Pop. When a song is related to an anime, you can feel the difference just by listening to it. One of the most famous anisong singer and seiyuu is Nana Mizuki, whose last album, "Impact Exciter", showcased an incredible side of her singing.

After releasing some singles in the beginning of 2010, the singer announced that a new album was being produced. A new track would be used for promotions. While fans had been expecting this new song to be like "Phantom Minds" or "Silent Bible", typical anisongs from her, they were totally surprised with what was actually produced: "Mysterion".
"Mysterion" is such an awesome song, at least to me, because it's a metal song with incredible skill demonstration from all instruments and especially from Nana's voice. The somewhat haunting, desperate, powerful vocals in this song end up making "Mysterion" into one of the most epic songs of 2010 and my favorite from Nana's entire career.
Still from "Mysterion"s promotional video - sorry, no YT videos available :/
The rest of the album, composed by her latest singles' A-sides and some other great new songs, is enough to complete the album in a great way.
"DRAGONIA" - new song- (track 07)
IMHO, a whole album composed of repeated "Mysterion" tracks would already be sufficient for me to buy it! It's really epic, I recommend you look for it in the Internet and order the album if you like it~
