#TBT: Hunter X Hunter OSTs

I am grateful for the Hunter X Hunter 2011 remake. But, what really made Hunter X Hunter special to me back then were the songs that played during the start and at the end of each episode. I even printed out lyrics and memorized them by heart. So, for today’s ThrowBack Thursday – here are […]

#NowWatching: Anime Series – Sept 2013

Because I promised myself to watch anime more regularly, I will be posting the ones I am watching on a monthly basis – also so that I can keep track of the ones I’ve finished, just for the hell of it. For this month, I only started on 3 – all of which are ongoing […]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo8EDe03rsQ] I bought the new Urbandub album Esoteric because I missed listening to this great band from Cebu.

The first time […]

G-DRAGON – 삐딱하게 (CROOKED)

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKhsHGfrFmY] This video just released a few minutes ago and I can’t stop hitting the replay button! I like this song – it sounds more Big Bang than G-Dragon! Good acting from G-Dragon in the video too. Yes, there are those times when the world seems to be against you. This is the perfect song […]

JUNIEL (주니엘) – illa illa (일라 일라)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_qrdwz49qg] I saw this on MTunes earlier, and I thought the song sounded familiar. I realized it’s from A Gentleman’s Dignity! The song stuck to me again, and the music video is heartbreaking! Ok, I’m exaggerating, but the kind of pain that comes from love that didn’t go full circle (but could have) is something […]
