It’s the first weekend back from a long break and WOOF it was a week. I had students in tears. I had students who were trying to get out of auditions. I even had students who were just unprepared. I need these next 2 weeks to FLY BY because I need more time to mentally relax so all of us, students and teachers, can look forward to a new year!
It’s music time!
BAND-MAID Sunday:
- The journey to the end of the album is coming. It’s bittersweet, but there is still so much BAND-MAID content and music to get to that I can’t be too sad about this! The journey continues with “Alive or Dead” and from what I understand, the lyrics were inspired by Miku’s interest in crypto currency. I have very little knowledge of crypto and I haven’t done enough research into it, but I believe 1 bitcoin is a lot, right? I’ll stick to what I know and talk about the music!

Muse - “Madness” (Live Lounge Special)
- I usually wouldn’t do reactions on songs that I know, but I want to make an exception here and there are reasons why. I listened to Muse growing up and I really enjoyed their sound. The first time I ever heard “Madness” was on the radio and I remember thinking that their sound had changed so much from what “Time Is Running Out” and “Knights of Cydonia” sounded like. In all honesty, this is my opportunity to see what this song would be like live. It’s nice to have an opportunity to see into how these songs were made, how they were produced, and how they can be played live.
Zutomayo - “KUZURI”
- Okay...the last time I did a reaction to this musical group I was last year and that means it’s been too long. I am glad this group is coming across my reaction suggestions because this ensemble is insanely talented with their instrumentalists who play normal instruments and those who play...well...the less conventional ones like CR TV drums. Yeah, you read that right. There’s also an electric fan from what I remember. I can’t wait to check out this track!
BAND-MAID - “Alive or Dead”, World Domination 2018
- I am bummed again that I don’t have a score for this song, but it’s okay. I, again, get an opportunity to enjoy a live performance by the maids. I think by the end of this, I might have seen a majority of the 2018 World Domination Tour concert on Prime! I’ve heard this song is really great, so I cannot wait to do both the studio track and live reactions.
ANIME Reactions:
Sound! Euphonium - Season 3, Ep. 6
- A rough week in teaching music made watching this show bittersweet. The first round of auditions have come and you can feel the tension start to rise as the students begin preparing. I like the idea of holding more than one audition because any student can improve on their own before the next audition. We will have to see what comes from this current ensemble.
The Apothecary Diaries - Season 1, Ep. 12
- I LOST MY MIND IN THIS EPISODE. Guys...this anime is so good. Since Maomao was connected to the events that went down in the rear palace, she was basically told with the rest of the members who served in that palace, to leave and that they were being let go. Maomao wanted to stay, but her ability to communicate what she really wants is not one of her strong suits. Luckily, Master Jinshi finds her while working for the brothel. This episode had me sweating!
K-On! - Season 2, Ep. 6
- This episode was such a good one. I don’t know about you guys, but I personify my personal belongings. My flutes have names, my car has a name. Even my Kitchenaid mixer has a name and I talk to all these objects like the are human because I believe in talking to objects in a positive way so they function better for me.
Have I said enough how much I love this time of year? It’s not only the “smell” of the holidays in the air, but it’s also the shopping! Hah! I love the hustle and bustle of going to the mall, but I feel like everyone online shops these days. I really want to go shopping for some new threads. I am trying to start dressing in colors that compliment my skin tone...not that this super interesting, but just thought I’d share!
