Comments on: Crying Manly Tears – The Confession of a Makkun Fan? http://omonomono.com/2007/12/10/crying-manly-tears-the-confession-of-a-makkun-fan/ The Yard Sale Mon, 21 May 2012 22:54:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ginga http://omonomono.com/2007/12/10/crying-manly-tears-the-confession-of-a-makkun-fan/#comment-6971 Ginga Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:12:09 +0000 http://omo.serenana.info/2007/12/10/crying-manly-tears-the-confession-of-a-makkun-fan/#comment-6971 Hey, I know exactly what you're going through. I've long felt that Makkun has a bit more "soul" in her music than you see with typical anison musicians ... and groups like JAM Project just burst with that passion ... the meeting of minds to produce not just songs for anime ... but real MUSIC that speaks of the true artistic intention of the anime it's produced for AS WELL as the artist (something I find lacking these days). I've been on board with Makkun since 1999, and I have watched her grow over the years. Some people found her change in style off-putting, but I was always amazed at how she tried to do different things, not settling into a rut but expanding her art into areas that don't seem to "fit the mold". If you look at the progression of her last three albums, you can truly appreciate how the style changes but the music remains HERS! God Speed has a techno-rock feel, airy but intense, evolution mixes genres but feels solid throughout, including the ballads, Masami Life feels like a salute to the past, bringing back some of the classic Makkun sound but weaving it in with the new style of which I've become so fond. ... In other words, MAKKUN FOVEVER, BITCHES! ^^; Hey, I know exactly what you’re going through.

I feel the same your passion, but for Matsumoto Rica. And I love very much all the JAM Members too. I'm waiting anxiously for the schedule of the JAM Project World Flight 2008...
