3. Kid Tech Guru
This is one blog that puts many people in shame. Haha.. Why? A 14-year old kid writing a tech blog and achieved 1000+ visitors in 2 weeks?!? Ouch. Wow. There are many comments in the blog, ranging from "Interesting stuff" to "Well written" etc. There is even a comment by a 60 year old guy that he find something written by the 14 year old blogger very useful. Just thinking about the age difference is scary enough.

No doubt, I find the articles very useful and interesting. There are useful Firefox add-ons discovered, blogger tips on making money or viewing traffic, and general good findings on the internet. His blog has became so successful that there is a US$50 contest to 1 lucky person who subscribe to the blog email update. Is that money from the profits of the blog, or is it a tactic to generate more traffic? Its anyone guess. But for a 14-year old to dish out such tricks is impressive. A "must see" blog definitely.

Orange Range is one of my favorite band. This was the very first song I have heard from them, and it was in one of the ending song of Naruto. Personally, this is one of the best songs I have heard from Orange Range. The song start off with an interesting 'army style' cheer (see the video below, damn funny). The bass and the guitar is very strong, but yet not overpowering the vocals. The strong chords and bass of this song is a very unique characteristic of this song. There is definitely a nice mix of Pop and Rock.

Interestingly, this song has a very strong American theme (weird). At certain part of the song, you can hear cheerleaders shouting out some alphabets. Yep, they are shouting A.M.E.R.I.C.A.N. This may be because This is attributed the Orange Range's hometown is in Okinawa, a well known station for American military bases and thus cultures and different styles often blend. Very interesting indeed.

4.5/5 for this interesting song.

Let's start with something recent. Nana Mizuki's new album, Starcamp EP, and the song that I really loved, "Dancing in the velvet moon". Before this song, I have never heard of Nana Mizuki. I heard this song at the ending song of the anime series "Rosario+Vampire".

The moment I heard the song, I really have this sudden urge to listen to the full song. I love the background music, like how the electric guitar, piano, vocal and orchestral mix together. I appreciate songs that mixes classical and modern instrument together. One instrument worth mentioning is the used of harpsichord, an ancient type of piano used during the Baroque period of music. Its distinct and sharp sound really goes well with this song, giving the song an overall Gothic and yet elegant feel. It certainly have plenty of momentum and the 'feel good' mood.

Also worth mentioning is the transition part just before the final chorus (3mins+), where Nana sang in a sweet and innocent voice (almost till the point of errire...). A very refreshing transition part which reinforces the whole gothic+elegant feel.

Definitely a song to me.
Rating: 5/5
