Our Main Character Yui is a little air headed, but I like her enthusiam!
I cannot wait to see what guitar she picks at the store in the next episode!

I’m sorry that anime reactions haven’t gone up on their normal days this week.
Summer band started this week on Monday and since I do the workouts and body movement exercises all day…this means for the morning outside rehearsal and then 3 more times in the afternoon…I am exhausted. My energy is much better today though, so I am going to record tonight and get all the episodes that should’ve been posted on Wednesday, and today, ready for tomorrow.
In the mean...

I was drinking (coffee) my emotions in this one.
I know that this is the second time I've listened to Keneko Ayano, but how could I resist? I could really imagine myself in that coffee shop drinking my latte with my emotions that I am trying to face right now...
Do yourself a favor and listen to this one!
I love that they interesting questions for each other about their performances and they openly talk about how they feel with their performances or work.
Also, hearing them talk about their personal lives and what they are taking on is cute!
I will say that I am very happy that Ohrenje makes those documentaries because while I love that they are talking very little about how they ended up in BAND-MAID, those documentaries really dive deep into the real meat and potatoes that I am ...

YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT!!!!
Okay...this was a journey and MAN! It was great!
The vocals are insanely good with some sick tuning. It almost sounds too perfect!
Every single member of this band was able to captivate my ears at some point within the song. You could keep listening to this song and find something new each time!
I hope you're thinking about checking this one out!

Hola Familia!
If you are reading this, I am currently at a family reunion and will probably be quieter than usual. In all honesty, the next few weeks will be pretty quiet from me since I will have summer band as well. Don't worry though! Content will still be coming here and Patreon!
Here's the line-up:
BAND-MAID Sunday:
The Maids drop the hammer of JUSTICE on us with a sick riff and some killer bass!

THE REDEMPTION ARC I WANTED!
Alice...you sweet, sweet little sibling.
I am the younger sibling between my brother and I. Without my big brother, I honestly wouldn't be the person you see through the screen. My brother shaped my music tastes, my hobbies and my clothing style. I thought my brother was the coolest person in the world growing up even though we fought ALL THE TIME.
...anyway, I am happy that Alice was proud of Lilisa for being herself. I still feel bad for Li...

...and here we are. The final episode. It's bittersweet, really.
I didn't want this anime to end. I wanted to see where the band would end up. I can only hope for a season 2 but after much research, I found that there is no plan for a second season.
It was a great fun, GBC. I loved this experience. Thank you all for this suggestion!

This is very similar to our marching competitions here in Texas.
First there's Region. Then there's Area, but then there is State. If you want to reach higher than State then you must enter the Bands of America marching competition to go to Grand Nationals.
...then of course, there is Drum Corps International, but that's another topic for another day.
2025-07-16 23:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostWith all my prep getting ready for family reunion, I didn’t get around to editing my video last night.
I’m performing a lot of music this weekend since a couple in the family will be celebrating their 50th anniversary! A lot of guitar and flute playing this weekend! I’ve been having to practice guitar to make sure I’m ready. Lol.
It will be uploaded later tonight!
Sorry for the hold up!

This was meant to go out on Sunday, but I remember last night. I didn’t want to disturb anyone’s slumber so…here we are Monday morning!
The MLB All-Star game is coming up soon and I cannot wait to watch it! Both Boston and Jacen really hate wearing anything so I rarely put clothes and such on them, but it’s too hard not to put on items that fit them when you’ve got ‘em!
If you’re a baseball fan, I hope your team is doing well!

Just like last time, this one hits the groove right from the start. The sound gives an alternative rock/blues feel and the vocals send it over the top!
...if you haven't checked out Mizuni Ukikusa yet, this is your sign!

Vernon Reid has a unique style, but displays a good rock'n'roll blues style here in this song!
I was born in the wrong era. Period.

The difference between the first two conversation vs the second conversation is hilarious. Miku and Saiki are goofy, but take the conversation about recording seriously, but then Kanami and Misa are loveably awkward!
Their stories are great and I cannot wait for more!

Hola Familia!
The countdown begins to my summer ending, but that doesn't mean the party over here ever stops! Heh. I am not that much of a party animal really. My idea of a party is board games, video games, good food, beverages and chit-chat. Come join my carne asada this weekend where we discuss the following music!
Here's the line-up:
BAND-MAID Sunday:
While we wait patiently for the release of "What is Justice?" we continue our way through...

Oh Alice...why must you be so mean? That doesn't seem very lady-like of you.
Although Alice is upsetting me, she is a younger child who's lost a parent. This isn't something easy to cope with so imagine having a new step-mother and sister can be very difficult to get used to, but DAMN. The things she said to Lilisa was...a hard pill to swall...

A battle of the bands? Really? It seems like that wouldn't be very fair wouldn't it? Is it just a plan to try and take down a budding band? Diamond Dust has no chill!
NOTE: I have to document that I practiced today. My fingers hurt, my shoulder is killing me, but I think progress is being made?
I'm glad that the situation between Nozomi and Mizore could be resolved.
It just turned out that she wanted someone to play her feelings out to, and I found that quite beautiful!
2025-07-09 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: I lowered the track so you can hear me better, and the track is also slowed down slightly from it's original tempo for practice purposes!
I couldn't stand sitting anymore, so I asked my friend again for a strap. Standing feels SO much better.
I like plucking, but I found that if I relax my pinky, I can pick much better. Thanks for the tips from my first post of performing/practicing! I do plan on getting better at plucking as well. I'll try that in the next recordin...

When I see both of them on the single seater, I giggle a bit because these two hate sharing anything they sleep on. I have two pet bed in every single room of the house because of this!
Anyway, Jacen has been doing well. If you look closely at this photo you can see the little glucose monitor just under his left shoulder. It’s been really cool to see his blood sugar readings 24/7. The only concerning/funny thing is whenever I am about to eat and he knows food is present, his blood su...

I can't believe that this demo was PURELY made for YouTube and not to be used for an actual song.
This is proof that Miyako has an insane ability to come up with pure magic when composing that she can willingly toss out the demo I thought was SICK!

Another late post this week. A lot of emotions are coming up for me this week. I am feeling not so much myself lately. I think it could be the thought of summer band coming around the corner...
I have the "beginning of the school year scaries," and there's nothing I can do!
Here's the line-up!

The journey continues with the live performance of "CROSS." From what I understand after some research, this was not f...

I just remembered the piece being played on the violin is “Meditation” from act 2 of the opera “Thaïs” by Jules Massenet!! 😅

So there's beef between our oboist and the flutist?! How can this be?!

So Jacen had to get a glucose monitor attached to him and to prevent him from licking it off, they put a “crop top” of some kind on him.
Well…he didn’t look as cool with that on, so I decided to get him a hoodie! Look at this little guy now!
Doesn’t he look awesome?!?

For once I knew the original version of the song being covered here. I have listened to the Bob Dylan staples, including this one. I know the cover by Dave Matthews Band as well.
