In case you've been wondering where all the daily content has been here on the A-Z, well, what can I say? Life is busy and Zac is lazy.
But that doesn't mean that I've been totally dormant! Just in case you didn't already know, I am also a regular contributor to Japanator. A few of the recent Japanese music related things I've done over there include:
- A review of sorts of the newest Perfume album called Triangle. I don't exactly give it high marks for originality, and I think that raised the dander of some of the more hardcore fans...
- Another somewhat snarky review of the new album from the crazy vis-kei band Mix Speaker's Inc. called Monsters Junk in My Pocket. While I don't really find anything interesting about the music, you really need to check out their totally over-the-top (even for vis-kei!) style.
- An exclusive interview with American songwriter and performer Becca. She's managing to make a name for herself in Japan. She also just recently played at Otakon 2009.
Something else that I had nothing to do with but that I know readers will be interested in is the coverage of Kanon Wakeshima's recent stop over in LA for a live show and autograph session. Ace0fClub5 once again managed to get some amazing photos of the event.
So, things may be a little quiet here from time to time, but I'm certainly not slowing down. (Oh yeah, there's all that new stuff for Otaku USA Magazine too...) Maybe just choosing my battles a little more carefully. But never fear! More is on the way.

I have to agree with your Kanon Wakeshima post. I own some of her singles and really only listen to the instrumental versions. I think she is an amazingly accomplished cellist, but the voice .. just doesn't work for me.
