Overseas Otaku Buying Tips |
Making
online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop
CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been
the best option for me (and many otakus who do
not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list,
preorders and purchases from these reputable online
companies. Your purchase via these links supports
this site :)
YesAsia
(Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
J-list
(many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
HobbySearch
(Comprehensive inventory
but no free shipping
and no shipping cost
provided upon placing
an order )
HLJ
(very good alternative to HobbySearch)
E2046
(many figures & rules in resin
kit)
Play-Asia
(My #1 online shop)

 | Aya Hirano Speed Star PV Posted: November 30th, 2009 4:45 am (Mon) by Divine Fang Last Edited: November 30th, 2009 4:47 am (Mon) Views: 1365 [Permalink] Tag: Jpop, Speed Star, Aya Hirano, Suzumiya Haruhi | |  | | | | Above: Aya Hirano's Speed Star CD+DVD Album Cover | Released recently (18th Nov 2009) was one of my favorite seiyuu Aya Hirano's full length studio album "Speed Star"! The initial impression was that the album was very rockish (I loved her rock tunes though), most probably due to included A-side songs -Super Driver, Sing a Song!, Set me free and Unnamed World- that were previously released on CD singles. Upon further listening I did find her pop rock tracks OH! My Darlin' (track 04), Kiss Me (track 06) and Ano Hana no Youni (track 07) very catchy and enjoyable as well. Instead of the main song Speed Star (track 12), the album actually begins with a dance/electro prelude stereotype ~inst~ (track 01) followed by rock tune Super Driver (track 02), whereby I find the transition awkward. I would actually prefer the abberant stereotype ~inst~ to be completely omited and make Speed Star track 01 instead (and I shall do that on my iPod ^_^). Do check out Speed Star PV above which was broadcast in HD by Music On! TV. You might also want to check Super Driver PV out as well below.
