My autographed copy of angela's album "sora no koe" (ソラノコエ) has finally arrived! Many thanks to mira for making this possible! I'm a big angela fan, and this CD is one of their best. The 3 Stellvia (宇宙のステルヴィア) OP/ED tracks are included, and the other 7 tracks are solid as well. I know this isn't a very comprehensive review, but I'd heartily recommend that every angela fan get a copy. As an aside, I wonder what the signature on the right says... any idea? KATSU's perhaps...

For those who are unfamiliar, angela is headed up by atsuko on vocals and KATSU doing arrangments and guitar. They write their own songs, and manage to infuse each of them with a "dynamic energy", complementing atsuko's powerful voice effectively.

Tsubasa Chronicles 1 was a bit of a disappointment for me; visually it was decent, but overall I had expected a bit more. Chalk another one up to hype! Yui Makino's performance wasn't stellar, but it sufficed. I hope to see some improvement as she gains experience in this role.
