[translation] 1/2 (One half) / Makoto Kawamoto

Makoto Kawamoto is a Japanese singer, song writer.
She writes very unique song, and lyrics.

I try to translate the lyrics of "One Half", main theme of Japanese animation "Samurai X".

[ animation ]Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Now, I'm so crazy for Japanese Animation "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt". This funny named title is produced by Ginax where has brought out "Neon Genesis Evangelion" before.

Two girls, "Panty"she is bitch, and "Stocking", she is crazy for dessert, are angels given a mission for getting rid of Ghost annoying people. But a highlight of this title is not a battle with Ghosts. This is just a comedy and we can enjoy good music and very unique animation.

At first, I've got interested with its BGM. Music is produced by Taku Takahashi (from Japanese hip hop group m-flo) and his crew. These tracks are very cool and exciting.
And then, I got attracted with its colorful and unique animation. It looks like American Cartoon (Colorful, Simple line, etc.). But it's not just a copy of American Cartoon, the activity of characters is very dynamic and careful as other famous Japanese animations.

Hi

My name is mojo_nobu, living in Japan. In this site, I'll introduce music, culture and so on around me to you.

 In Japan, there are so many minor and wrongly eveluated musicians. I hope you begin to take an interest in Japanese music.
