AFAX ANISONGS THOUGHTS
Surprise Appearance: Hatsune Miku
Miku’s appearance at AFAX was indeed surprising, i hadnt expected her to appear as it wasnt scheduled.
Though it was a short 3 songs, it was most welcome by the crowd
Best Sense of Humor : Ichirou ‘Aniki’ Mizuki
Aniki’s session was the most relaxed, maybe due to the action packed performance by JAM project,
He still managed to inject some humour into the show with his jokes!
Most Unexpected Enjoyment : Angela
To be honest, i hadnt heard much of Angela prior to AFAX, was wishing some band like Girls Dead Monster
to come instead. However, i was given a really pleasant surprise, and the duo really did their best to engage
the crowd. Really love Katsu Onii Sama with his ‘Moesu” antics.
Most Karaoke Friendly Song: Shunkan Sentimental
The one song that most of the crowd knew how to sing, need i explain more for the success of FMA: Brotherhood?
Best Representative Anisong : Mazinger Z
Tell me, is there any other song that fully symbolises the legend of anisongs? Performed by Aniki, this is the
epitome of all anisongs!
Most Heartfelt: Diamond Crevasse
In truth, the only ballad performed. So good that there is no competition for this one.
Most Energetic: SCANDAL
Scandal brings their school girlish youthfulness to AFAX, and no one is complaining, certainly not the hundreds of scandal fanboys out there.
Most powerhouse lineup: JAM Project
Jam project’s Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endo, Hiroshi Kitadani, Masami Okui & Yoshiki Fukuyama are the kings of anisongs. They were
so good that they are the only band that no one, not a single one that i can see sat down even for 1 minute during their show. Their performance
was so solid that the following show from aniki was much more tamed down.
Old is Gold: Aniki & Jam Project
We knew we will see them performing together, and my, arent we pleased?
AFAX’s Favourite : May’n
Everyone was pumping throughout her performance. She showed her versality by being the only singer who
danced, brought in her own dance crew(the only performer who had), Choreographed movements, professionalism
makes her the one and truly crowd favourite!
Worst Of show: The Audio System
It was so bad, that we all almost became deaf. Even May’n's vocals could not totally overwhelm the awful 3rd generation
speakers!
Oops, i slipped up moments: Emcee Yoshimi
Yeah, we appreciate her translations, but i still think we should hire a real pro to do translations for the artistes, not blaming her
just that we need more composure on stage. Good job still!
Artiste at AFA that we would like to have seen performed: Kana Hanazawa
Wished she had did a concert as well. Two words, so sweeeeeet~
AFAX’s Defining moments: Aniki’s 3 encores, May’n singing Phonic Nation
I guess i do not need to elaborate on this one. Aniki is a legend, while phonic nation is the one song that
emphasizes the “music bring us together” theme!
