Aimo song again and Hakuouki.

This is simply a re-upload of The original song just with an echo effect added. I've been doing a crap load of stuff recently, too much to think about recording so I apologize in advance.




On a side note I've been absolutely ecstatic about some Hakuouki news recently. They're making a 3rd season (prequel style) and 2 short movies. Also I've discovered that Otomate did indeed make an actual Action/Adventure game for the PSP releases this year. I sure hope they'll translate the rest of the games in the years to come....... Am I getting ahead of myself? How rude of me! I didn't even say what "Hakuouki" is! Bad me >_<"

Hakuouki (Pale cherry blossom Demon) is a Living Novel/Date Sim style game based on the historical samurai group called the "Shinsengumi". You play as a girl looking for her missing Father and through a series of events she gets mixed up with the Shinsengumi and eventually falls in love with one of 5 bachelor Shinsengumi men and 1 evil dude. Elements in the game, including people and events, do draw from historical events but there are some fantasy elements that..... don't....draw from historical events..... tee hee hee. 

Anyway, the game spawned an animated series that lasted for 2 seasons or 22 episodes (too short and WAY to sad!) and 3 more games. Looking at some of the success of the recent English release and the sales of the 4 Japanese games I guess someone at Otomate games (copyright holder)  Decided to continue with the cashgrab and said "Lets animate the Prequel game Reimei-Roku and make an action/adventure game!"(think GTA meets Edo era Japanese Samurai) and thus, my giddy-ness has been explained. If you're curious about this series then feed the name in to your fave search engine and have fun searching. 

(warning) some of the fan base for this series range from respectful *like me* to "OMG! are you F-ing crazy?! You made which character do what with WHO?!" psychopath level..... just so you know....

Later! A.M.

P.S. I like the game and anime because of it's compelling/heartbreaking story and believable  character interpretation, (historical, remember?) NOT because it's a dating game! I'm too much of a tom-boy for lovey-dovey crap like that. XD
