it's not like the plot is anything superb, but something like wanting to try to form a band in high school works for me. not too mention i just started learning guitar not long ago and there's a lot of references there that i can understand, which makes it kinda entertaining. and like i kinda see a bit of myself in yui. she's damn blur and needs a lot of help from ppl around her, but she's also very earnest about what she does and really cares for her friends.
i think i liked the show so much cos they make playing in a band seem very fun, which is something i always wanted to try (actually i did, but only for a short while and it was kinda embarassing >.<).
most of the show were mostly jokes and fooling around, which some parts are actually quite lame lol. but the true essence of the show are those few scenes that really stand out cos it's very heartwarming. like the part where they all cried when they realized that they just finished their last high school concert together really got to me. the kind of fuzzy feeling u get when u see moments of genuine friendship despite seeing them fool around with each other most of the time.
and also the songs are damn good. ok la not all of them are that fantastic, and most of them have pretty ridiculous lyrics actually tbh. but some songs just seem really fun and they grow on u. my favourite songs are those sung by mio ('don't say lazy', 'listen!' and 'no thank you!'), cos her singing is fantastic, and the guitar playing involved really impresses me and makes me want to be able to play them too. but most importantly, its cos the songs sound really fun haha.
anyway, my opinion on seiyuus(voice actors) like these are that their voices are a bit too high pitched (kinda like children) and its kinda strange to see grown women speak like that (yea i probably just incurred the wrath of all the seiyuu otakus out there...). though of cos that's how its supposed to be cos they provide the voice of anime characters after all.
but then when i saw the live concert on youtube, my impression of them changed completely. i always thought they were just doing the singing and there was some professional band doing the playing. but nope i was damn wrong, had no idea that they were so talented. i still think their voices sound kinda weird when they're talking, but when they perform they really sound damn goooood. if i were to go to their concert, i'd probably fanboy really hard haha.
so ya i realized these songs are indeed what i really want to learn and play. i know english songs are pretty good to play too, especially taylor swift songs, and even the older classics like stairway to heaven impressed me. and i know that most ppl probably don't know my songs or think they sound kinda weird. but in the end, it's these jap songs which i learned from anime that i love the most haha. i don't think i can properly explain why i like them so much. they just have the right mix of rock, melody and emotion in the songs, which makes me get carried away whenever i hear them in my head haha.
i guess i have quite a bit of attachment to these songs too cos i really went to study their lyrics when i first started learning jap, and cos i love the anime they came from as well. and i really hope that one day i will be able to sing and perform them too (though there'll probably be a better singer in the band haha).
so yea let me show off a bit here in my private space and list down all the songs that i learnt how to play :P (i really spent a lot of effort on these songs, okay)
'secret base' from anohana
'startear' from sao
'kimi iro signal' and 'sora-iro days' from saekano
'sora wa takaku, kaze wa utau' from fate
'links' from railgun
'ambivalent world' from bakemonogatari
'don't say lazy' from k-on! (ok definitely not an appropriate transcription until i get an electric guitar)
still working on completing the tabs for more, like 'harukaze' by scandal and 'cherish you' from saekano. and now i can add k-on! songs to the list :P. 'no thank you!' is a really fantastic song imo, if ur interested u should go and listen to it haha.
ok la enough ranting from me now. i'm sorry i made 90% of the ppl who don't understand what im saying read this. it's really just me talking to myself cos i don't have anyone to speak this to in real life without feeling awkward haha. anyway, that's all for now. bye ~~
