FLOW – WORLD END Live (Music Station)


 

In my ongoing efforts to find more PVs and live performances of anime-related music (which I hope to make a habit of doing so on a regular basis), I came across this live performance of FLOW's WORLD END. While I realize that this is just under a month old now, I find that live performances are a lot more obscure than your run-of-the-mill PV, so I decided to share it here. I imagine that the number of fans who listen to anime music is noticeably less than that who watch it, with the number interested in PVs and live performances even less than that. This live version is a shorter version of the song, but I find live performances much more entertaining to watch, because you're not simply listening to a prerecorded track you've heard many times before. The atmosphere is also quite different when you have a crowd of rabid fan girls. =P

In any case, I hope this is new to some of you, but if it's not, you're still more than welcome to share your thoughts about it. Expect some other PVs and performances to be posted soon, but in the meantime, enjoy the video.

Summary: As word of what happened at Pendragon spreads among the Britannian ranks, Jeremiah tries to put a halt to what he thinks is a rumor, but Sayoko suddenly appears to confirm that it is probably true.

Gundam 00 Series 2 – CM5

 

Another week, another new Gundam 00 commercial. I can't say I'm surprised at how many commercials there have been since there were a ton of Geass R2 ones back in the spring as well, and they probably want to get as many Geass fans as possible to watch the next show in the Sunday timeslot. As for this commercial, it brings back the UVERworld song (Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi) and the rapidly-flashing-by of images. It's a little more mecha oriented than the previous ones due to all the new Gundams plus the Ahead and the GN-XIII types being shown, but there are some character shots in there too, including Soma, Kathy, and more Saji. Heck, I almost didn't recognize Kathy because her uniform, short hair, and face made her look like a man.

This commercial also prompted me to visit the official site again, and I noticed that they've updated with a lot of characters since I last checked (don't click the link if you don't want to be spoiled). The masked character in particular is kind of amusing because it's pretty obvious who that is, yet the official site makes it seem like a mystery. I'm curious to see how they develop him into a villain (assuming they do so) and if he'll be a bigger threat than Ribbons.
