J-Pop PV - Lovely Fruit by Nana Mizuki

Rockbound Neighbours Album Cover

Everyone who knows about anime will probably know about the top selling Japanese anime artist Nana Mizuki, and she has recently released a new PV to add to her  collection - Lovely Fruit!

This fun video I discovered when flicking through news posts on Crunchyroll, and being undoubtably the most popular Japanese artist today, I just had to take a look. I found the video to be quite confusing at times - but still fun and really cute.  The song is to be included on her upcoming album 'Rockbound Neibours'  which is scheduled to be released on December 12th.

To be honest, I think this music video to be bonkers. Because her voice is really deep and mysterious, yet is singing such a happy and amusing song. I love the clothes though~ very sweet and perfectly lolita <3

But what does everyone else think of her new video? Feel free to comment~

 My opinions on MEIKO are really vague. I love her design, but her voice can be quite vague unless you really know how to push her to the limit. I can't wait to see her new versions, however, as I believe I only have such a negative impression on her as she is one of the originally released Vocaloids, so the software wasn't as good. Let's hope they do a good job at improving her <3

Cute Anime Widgets!

For all that love anime, you'll love these cute widgets - from the infamous Fruits Basket!

I've been searching for new things to add into my blog, but thought these really suit the ultimate otaku blogger, more than my weird mix up...(LOL)

The widgets are animated, and are available to be placed in the 'Corner' or 'Sidebar' position.
