Let’s say you’re a big fan of those J-pop anime intro/outros and you have this desire to launch a singing career based off of that niche. And I don’t mean use anime as a career springboard either; all you want to do is sing songs appropriate for anime intros/outros. Enter Tekumaku Junction, a duo which…

The woman on the cover of Gundam Unicorn’s outro single, titled “Ryuusei no Namida” (“Tears of Falling Stars”), looks familiar doesn’t she?

As a preface to this review, I have to admit a strong bias in favor of Haruka Tomatsu. Ever since I listened to her performance of “motto☆Hade ni ne!,” which functioned as Kannagi’s opening theme, I was hooked on Tomatsu’s vocals, especially because of the energy that she channels into the innuendo-laden song. Add some…
