Grooveyard - Weekly TARO



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.

Chibi Miku-san 4koma animation



It seems someone has turned the 4koma comic Chibi Miku-san into an animation! If you have a pixiv account, you can view the comics at the author Minami's (みなみ) page. There is usually a new comic daily so make sure to check it out. The animator is YokkaP (よっかP).
There is a viewable version at the homepage.
You can also view fan translated versions here.

A Wolf Loves Pork



In this creative combination of stop frame animation and photographs, the story of a wolf and a pig is told. Absolutely genius. I think the creator is called poison milk (毒牛乳)

Romeo and Cinderella - Usa



Another one of my favourite nico singers, Usa (うさ), covers another Hatsune Miku original song by doriko. I'm quite fond of Usa's covers. The song itself was pretty popular for a while on nico video.

rain stops, good-bye - Yamai



One of my favourite nico singers, Yamai (ヤマイ), covers the song, a Hatsune Miku original by nioP (におP). I'm glad to see this video since it's been a month since Yamai last uploaded a video. I like the feel in this song and as some of the commenters say, Yamai sounds somewhat similar to the singer YUI.

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.

Making of Tissue Hime's Gravure Debut



It seems Tissue Hime has gained quite a bit of popularity. Just a short video with the making of what could be a photobook. In other news, it seems Tissue Hime will be attending an event in Akihabara called Akihabara Noise.
