"Bad Apple!! feat. nomico" was featured in short clip on CNN! Based on the video, it seems it was shown at some point in the afternoon on CNN Newsroom. Now normally, this would be awesome. But it's not. Before I show the video, let me give a short history of "Bad Apple!! feat. nomico". 2007/05/20 : Doujin group " Alstroemeria Records " releases "Bad Apple!! feat. nomico" on their album "Lovelight" at Reitaisai 4. 2008/06/08 : NicoNico user "Μμ" uploads a video detailing what he would like to see in a Bad Apple!! music video ( NicoNico , YouTube ).

765 Production really does try to pick up anyone don't they? They must really be hurting for idol producers. Good luck, RockmanP! <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9489030">【ニコニコ動画】ロックマンプロデューサー　アイドル紹介</a> 【ニコニコ動画】ロックマンプロデューサー　アイドル紹介

When I made this blog, although I named it "Hakurei Shrine", I actually thought that Touhou posts would be somewhat rarer. Posting stuff here though made me realize that a lot of the stuff I look at on Niconico now is Touhou related. Anyway, for the sake of my friends more interested in IDOLM@STER than Touhou, today's post focuses entirely on IDOLM@STER videos. Yes, some still are Touhou influenced, but they're definitely good. With that out of the way, the videos are provided below! <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9420622">【ニコニコ動画】[高画質版] アイマス×東方アレンジ 美希『緋色月下、狂咲ノ絶』似非PV</a> 【ニコニコ動画】[高画質版] アイマス×東方アレンジ 美希『緋色月下、狂咲ノ絶』似非PV <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9394129">【ニコニコ動画】【アイドルマスター】　inferno　PV　【雪歩/千早】</a> 【ニコニコ動画】【アイドルマスター】　inferno　PV　【雪歩/千早】 <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4760427">【ニコニコ動画】アイドルマスター×らき☆すた -

A clever parody of the song "Help me, ERINNNNNN!!", which is a Touhou arrange song by Beat Mario, this song is sung by recog, and should be amusing to those who are familiar with "A Certain Magical Index" and "A Certain Scientific Railgun". Once again, I will be providing a rough translation below. Also, I used as reference the translation for "Help me, ERINNNNNN!!" from the Touhou wiki ( Link ). <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9364949">【ニコニコ動画】【替え歌】　Help me, TOUMAAAAA!! / recog　【禁書目録】</a> 【ニコニコ動画】【替え歌】　Help me, TOUMAAAAA!! / recog　【禁書目録】 Touma, Touma, Touma, One, Two, Three, Hey!

Do you like BURNING giant robot songs? Because this one is totally on fire! Well, not the robot, but the song totally is. The song was originally a BGM from Touhou 12.3, but its old school giant robot feel quickly got denizens of niconico to add lyrics to it and try to sing it. Probably in response to that, Tasogare Frontier released an extended karaoke version of the song on the game soundtrack, and thus, I present below, the full version of "Our Hisoutensoku" sung by Yuge. <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9387162">【ニコニコ動画】ぼくらの非想天則（Full Ver.）を歌ってみた / 湯毛</a> 【ニコニコ動画】ぼくらの非想天則（Full Ver.）を歌ってみた / 湯毛 And because I feel like it, here is a rough translation of the lyrics: It flies high in the sky, did you see it?

So I just finished watching 11eyes, and overall, it wasn't really that good. I'm still thinking about playing the game though, seeing as how it looks quite different from the anime, I'm going to guess that it is in fact different, and hopefully interesting and engaging. I'm probably going to pick up the Xbox 360 version. I've also watched the first episodes of a few shows this season now, being Ladies verses Butlers, Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu, and Dance in the Vampire Bund. Ladies verses Butlers so far is most definitely a fanservicey show, and Flameheart's incredibly huge drill hair vaguely bothered me initially just by the sheer size. I somewhat got used to it as I watched the episode, but for a short while I was contemplating how much hair you would need to be able to pull off that kind of hair. Nevertheless, it seems like it might be fun to watch, so I'll be keeping up with it for the time being. I like Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu for the fact that it
