Jaja XP

Anyways, Kanno-sama is probably really known to those who like Anime Soundtracks, she’s a Goddess of it. “best known for her work on the soundtracks for many games, anime films, TV series, live-action movies, and advertisements”~ Wiki

People have said that she and one of the vocalists that she works with is actually her (Gabriela Robin) of course she and the company refuse to acknowledge that it’s her. Though no one’s ever seen her, she never preforms live, and basically there’s nothing that proves she exists. I wonderful mystery. Her birthday is March 19 and she’s currently 43, only a year older than Kajiura-sama.

Kajiura-sama is a year younger than Kanno-sama, making her 42. “She has provided the music for several popular anime series, such as Madlax, Noir, .hack//SIGN, Aquarian Age, My-HiME, My-Otome, Tsubasa Chronicle, and one of the Kimagure Orange Road movies (amongst others). She also assisted Toshihiko Sahashi with Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Kajiura has also composed for the Xenosaga video game series, namely the cutscene music for Xenosaga II and the entire Xenosaga III game soundtrack” ~ wiki

So… basically these people are pretty famous and talented

and then Steve Conte

Steve Conte is the lead singer in the bandsThe Contes, Crown Jewels and is the current lead guitarist of the New York Dolls. Conte first became known to the music industry through his band Company of Wolves (Mercury Records) in the early 1990s. Steve has done studio and/or live work with artists like Peter Wolf, Willy DeVille, Maceo Parker, Billy Squier, Suzi Quatro, Jill Jones, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Phoebe Snow, David Johansen & The Harry Smiths, Chuck Berry, Willie Nile and many others.

He has also worked with composer Yoko Kanno and lyricist Tim Jensen in music for several anime series. Steve Conte sang the opening theme, Stray, to the Studio BONES’ anime series Wolf’s Rain as well as the tracks Heaven’s Not Enough and Could You Bite the Hand? on both of the anime’s soundtracks. Conte can also be heard in some episodes of Cowboy Bebop, most notably for the song Call Me Call Me, as well as Words That We Couldn’t Say, No Reply, and the CD version of Rain, sung by Mai Yamane in the series. More recently, he sang the ending theme to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG; Living Inside the Shell along side with Shanti Snyder. He also performed on the duet “The Garden of Everything” with Japanese singer Maaya Sakamoto on her RahXephon-related single “Tune the Rainbow”.” ~ Wiki

Thank you Wiki

Conte-sama has a really awesome voice. “Heaven’s Not Enough” “Rain” “Living in the Shell” “Could you Bite the Hand?”

Anyway… yeah… that’s basically it, nothing to do with Kajiura, but she’s amazing, especially with her .Hack// work, so I figured you can’t really mention one without the other, just because of their profession and their status in that field…

Wow, the candidates for president are just dropping like flies, eh? It’s like this ones out, this ones out, this ones out… oi… I heard someone say that it’s probably just gonna be Clinton Vs Obama…

And people have noticed that Hilary’s face got less wrinkled as it came close to her running, so she probably had botox. Which I think is stupid, you know people who get those injections, the amount they put in their face is enough to kill a rat?! And… apparently it’s deadly to some children… well now doesn’t that sound friendly…

It’s currently snowing and I have a driving test in about half an hour… and it’s snowing really hard… it wasn’t sticking at first, but now I think it is. I tried to calculate the rate of snow earlier but it melted too fast for me to figure it out… and I guess I could do that again, but.. it’s snowing harder and I already got yelled at for standing outside in the snow…
