On/Off openings - Vampire Knight

Oh the lack of updates~ What a busy world. However, I bring you a personal music analysis of both Vampire Knight opening themes! Read it at your leisure.

On/Off is a pop duo consisting of twin brothers who is well-known for singing the opening songs of Vampire Knight + Guilty.

Naoya Sakamoto and Kazuya Sakamoto debuted in 2007.

1st opening of Vampire Knight - Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi (Two beats and a red sin)
2nd opening of Vampire Knight Guilty - Rinne: Rondo (Cycle: Rondo)

This is a review based off both opening themes of Vampire Knight and Guilty. It comparatively looks at the differences in song composition and the blend between both singers.

• People who aren't musicians can still understand it!!
  
• I am not concerned about the lyrics.
  
• Sorry if I sound too meticulous in picking up details and in no way do I want to criticise the effort gone into producing these songs, I just want to be able to practice my musicianship and keep those skills up~

Full lyrics, music and summary are provided under the cut :D

Majo Saiban - Witch trial

Majo Saiban - Majo means witch and Saiban means trial. This fictional story is based off the new jury system that is now being introduced and implemented into Japan.

I am just over half way watching this series and I have to say, what a brilliant drama! I am so glad that I started to watch this~ Bloody Monday was not so interesting and after the 2nd episode...I stopped watching that. So I took it off my list. The way that the drama is shot....makes it soooo dramatic haha....its new and exciting! It gives off the eerie and mind-twisting vibes!!


Anyway, Majo Saiban is a mind-twisting drama. I love that feeling of not knowing what is going to happen and then suddenly all is revealed in the end. WHOO! It keeps you guessing and its captivating as well, not like those really poorly written dramas where they string you along and it gets really tiring as well....Read under the cut for more information :D

Mode is here!

I am expressing my gladness for I bought Ugly betty season 1 at a bargain!!! Oh I am stoked! I will watch it when I have nothing else better to do! haha...that is like....never or (ever if you know how lazy I get). This is one of my most favourite television series. The quirks, the snotty brats, the schemes, the silly spasms and lovely camera footage + cinematography is invigorating haha. America Ferrera (Betty Surez) has always been playing those stereotype strong-willed and good-hearted women roles that always perseveres no matter what. She's making a statement! She's a fighter and a champion! You do what you do best~


MODE at my front screen and just a click of the button away. Technology and fashion cannot get any more advanced than that~
