God never plays favourites…or does He? – seiyuu edition

At some point in everyone’s life, I’m sure they’ve said this to themselves, “Damn, God must really like this person, she/he is so much more talented than me.”  Well, ladies (and gents who happen to stumble across this page), let me provide you with some insight – using my dear seiyuu as examples.

Let me explain how this works: when you are a seiyuu, voice and face is pretty much all that is important (skill is something that everyone can eventually obtain to an acceptable degree after training, so I won’t factor this into my evaluation).  So… with that said, let’s take a look:

Mizuki Nana’s Trickter

OMG I’m so lame… right after I post about Discotheque, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to watch Trickster.  So I went and watched it… and I fell in love all over again XD.

Ok… I think I must say I ultimately fall for more rockish songs… take KitaEri’s Realize for example… I adored that song.  Trickter was great… great instrumentals, great voice, great singing, great melody, great everything.  The PV was ok too, though it seemed pretty much like all other normal music videos (the ones where you see the artist walking around and singing and kinda has no storyline).

What I really really really liked about this song was that last a capella bit.  Honestly, it takes guts to sing ANYTHING a capella, and Nana nailed this one (though I must say I’m still not the biggest fan of her voice).  I would just like to totally congratulate her on a job well done, erm… or maybe I mean a song well sang XD.

Mizuki Nana’s DISOTHEQUE

Ok… once again, I’m late in terms of reporting news… but this blog isn’t really NEWS anyway, it’s more of a REVIEW.

So I finally got a chance to watch the Discotheque PV after being informed of its existence by my dear friend Stappy. I can only say one thing: I’m SO in love.

I’ll admit FIRSTHAND that I didn’t hate Cosmic Love as much as some people did. So when I heard Discotheque for the first time properly, and saw the PV, I was in RABU.

Nana’s higher-pitched singing voice was actually pretty cute, and wasn’t as annoying as I remembered it to be. The song itself is really catchy, and the PV a lot better than many of the other seiyuu PVs I’ve seen so far.

Let me point out that Nana’s PV actually consisted of 6 people other than herself. Compare that to any of say… Minorin’s PVs. See the difference in production costs? XD I really loved Nana’s whole disco outift, she looked tremendously cute in them. I was just talking to Stappy yesterday about how some seiyuu are less appealing as they age, but DAMN, Nana keeps looking better and better. I personally found her MUCH more attractive than usual in this PV with her high energy, radiant smile, and just overall cuteness.
