Hey, it’s time for a new review! While Billiards is not an album in the same, ultimate tier as Chess or Kyou ga Saigo no Ichinichi, I decided to write this review because a particular song deserves something for its 10th anniversary. Colorfully striking. BUTAOTOME’s third original album. Since this is an original album (and it’s not as meaningful as… Read more »
Website updates I’m currently busy with a long-awaited update to a certain section (and doing back-ups), so I haven’t been focusing on written stuff… Retake+’s afterword book should be translated for next month, but I’m still deciding if I should publish it or not. BUTAOTOME updates First of all, here is the setlist of Sekai no Owari to Hard-Boiled Wonder… Read more »

From the livestream of 14th May 2014. I was unsure about which Billiards track to upload today, but Jordi suggested me this one, and I’m glad I have rediscovered this performance~ Title: 共存 Romaji: Kyouzon Translation: Coexistence 「夢は必ず叶う」と宇宙飛行士がテレビで言う 「今日ですべてが終わり」と電車の中で誰か零す “yume wa kanarazu kanau” to uchuuhikoushi ga terebi de iu “kyou de subete ga owari” to densha no naka de dareka kobosu ねぇ あこがれと ねぇ あきらめは… Read more »
From the livestream of 7th May 2014. No Ranko today. Meanwhile, she started to record stuff for future releases! Btw, this week is April Fools and I think one of the moe-trash fifth tracks (as I named them) is a fitting choice! wwwwww Title: ゲノム味 Romaji: Genome aji Translation: Genome taste みんなばっか みんなばっか ソルト味 みんなばっか みんなばっか 矛襖 みんなばっか みんなばっか 飼い殺し みんなばっか みんなばっか ワンルーム minna bakka minna bakka soruto aji minna bakka… Read more »
From the livestream of 10th June 2015. No livestream today because the animals are busy with pics. Regarding this performance, the guitar is inaudible due to techinical problems, but it gave a new charm! -7 to the fanbook release! I’m planning to write a special post about it for this weekend (or if they post the CD crossfade during this… Read more »
From the livestream of 19th August 2015. No streaming today because of Comiket. Anyway… I think the song that gives the name to the website must be posted as song of the week only during special days (anniversaries or end of the year posts). So, here we go, although is probably not fitting with the mood of the post. rotfl… Read more »
From the livestream of 28th May 2014. Looks like next week there won’t be a streaming, or Ranko will be absent… I’ll give more details!
