Yoshi's Island BGM - mailist

An electric organ player mailist (maiリスト), also known as mai kamakiri for the bug mask she wears, plays the BGM to Yoshi's Island. Watch to the end to see her other skill. Interestingly enough, despite the play on words, mai doesn't have a mylist, but uses the userlist instead.

[MAD] Toradora - Kokoro no Suushiki

A well put together MAD incorporating many great scenes from Toradora. The title is Kokoro no Suushiki (ココロの数式), roughly translated to formula of the heart. The song is Saidaikouyakusuu (最大公約数), greatest common divisor, by RADWIMPS. The maker of the video is Niwatori (にわとり), meaning chicken.

TARO skillfully covers the song Grooveyard by Thomas Leeb, making use of techniques such as scratching and tapping.　There is a question mark after the weekly part because he hasn't posted a video in a while so that's a little joke.

Tissue Hime Events

A little while ago, there was a video with the song Oiran involving Tissue Hime, Nakamura Ine and some others. Turns out it was a session and here are some clips from that session along with some other songs they played/sung.



It seems Tissue Hime attended the 2nd Nico Tiger Live as part of the Royalty Band (王族バンド), consisting of Tissue Hime (bass)(ティッシュ姫), Pirate King (green guitar)(海賊王), Intel Prince (drums)(インテル王子), prkr (guitar)((ピルクル), and Red Meteor (keyboard)(紅い流星). The vocals are sung by yonji and Parl'r (パーラー『Me』), who I think is yonji's brother.

Oiran - Tissue Hime, Uchimura Ine etc

Here we have Tissue Hime (bass), Nakamura Ine (keyboard) (horsehead guy), Bantou (drums), some guy who has no name but wears an awesome mask (guitar), and a passingby songstress Mauitan (vocals). Weird, I know. I probably got the vocal's name wrong anyway, sounded more like she wanted to be kept anonymous and was just a one time thing. I also don't know if Oiran is actually the song name, just what showed up. Anyway, the song gives a sorta nostalgic feeling... not from my past but maybe parents. Anyone else notice Ine macking on everyone?

Interesting drummer here. Apparently he's called moesaku. His drumming is pretty good (though I'm not much of a judge). Watch for the middle. The song itself is the opening for a visual novel called Little Busters! Ecstacy Ver... being the 18+ version. The original Little Busters! has no 18+ material though.
