Shikata's Blog - 2010.06.06

...I say nothing. For I see no relevant improvement. I say relevant and not significant.

To the topic. Akiko writes in her blog, making up for times passed since her last post by making various topics:

1. Hiromi Satou's radio event
   
2. A talk event
   
3. The VAGRANCY Jukebox
   
4. Details the Inori no Kanata booklet design
   

will read and translate these in the next few days.

yay, thanks for that. looking forward for more later on! ^^

That is cool she has a blog. Thanks for telling about that. xD

As described by the blog:

----------------------------------------------------------------

*Akiko met Hiromi Satou for the first time on the May 20 broadcast of Satou Hiromi no Hiroraji. She was also able to meet Noriyasu Uematsu of Elements Garden, and learns he has an interest for Celtic music.

*She also had a talk event with her fans. The date was not specified, but the staff of Akihabara Gamers was mentioned.

**In this blog, she also declares the end of the VAGRANCY Jukebox, removed at the warning of a fatal error.
She thanks the people who assisted in advertising the jukebox, and that the feature will reopened in July, hopefully till August, provided that the error has been fixed by then.

***Shikata then writes of the booklet design of Inori no Kanata, on how the designs reflecting Tales of Symphonia and Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino should contrast each other. She also includes the vertical typeset of Aka Kakushi as one of those contrasts.
*****As for the cover, the theme decided upon was a flower of hope. The result was a sky as it would look in sunrise shown within a flower.

----------------------------------------------------------------

*With regards to the talk event and the radio show, Akiko writes about her...nervousness, which may explain
why she does not have public appearances very often.

**The Jukebox was a feature that appeared on the VAGRANCY website since May, which acts like a flash music player. The playlist changes everyday, with previews of five songs. You can also listen to Akiko's message (yes, her actual voice) and send mail through the jukebox.

***Inori no Kanata is Akiko's most recent single. The song itself is used as the ending theme of Tales of Symphonia: Tethe'alla Hen, while Aka Kakushi is the opening theme of HaccaWorks' newest BL game, Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino.

*****...never really noticed that design up till now.

wow, the booklet design sounds awesome. it's amazing that she can get such ideas, hehe~

really? she does not appear in public very often, huh? that's a bit surprising. but indeed, I rarely see a live video of her singing. the jukebox sounds interesting, maybe we can add it here? hehe~

thanks for the entry! ^^

Teehee, that does sound awesome.

Official blog?

Cool!

I already know that thing with public.I mean,even finding photos of her is kinda hard 8P
I think that is good for her to sing for some famous animes too.Tales of is serie with a lot of fans and is good for her popularity

What was VAGRANCY Jukebox?

VAGRANCY Jukebox, if I guess correctly, would be a playlist contains songs she made with VAGRANCY. I'm not sure what is VAGRANCY, though, most probably a group of singers too.

oh, guys, check the latest entry of her blog too and make sure to comment there. I think the last entry is way more interesting than this one! XD

VAGRANCY is Akiko's self-produced music label.
