Kanto

[WorldVision]

The Kantō region (関東地方 Kantō-chihō) is a geographical area of Honshu, the largest island of Japan. The region includes the Greater Tokyo Area and encompasses seven prefectures: Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa. Within its boundaries, slightly more than 45 percent of the land area is the Kantō Plain. The rest consists of the hills and mountains that form the land borders. In official census count on October 1, 2010 by the Japan Statistics Bureau, the population was 42,607,376 amounting to approximately one third of the total population of Japan.

In the Pokémon franchise, a region named after Kantō is the first geographical setting of both the anime and the game series (it was featured in Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and HeartGold and SoulSilver).

Please mind that embedded Spotify playlists can only display a maximum of 100 songs. So if you want to see all songs you gotta open the spotify list in a different tab. Some of the songs displayed in the list are local files I had added because the songs do not exist in Spotify. Those songs you obviously can't play. The songs in question are:
Ólafur Arnalds (ft. Haukur Heiðar Hauksson) - A Hundred Reasons
Yoko Kanno ft. Árnor Dan - Von
Sumio Shiratori - Yuugure
Naoki Sato - Tokyo Medal ceremony

Re: Kantō 関東 | WV 65 SF 1 | Kalafina - Magia

I both hate you and love you right now for sending this. Expect high points delivered with a bitchy, jealous glare.

Oh, and if THIS doesn't get a high finish... I honestly don't know if any Japanese song will. For both of our sakes (and because of the great song), good luck! Wish I wasn't in REJU for this semi.

Re: Kantō 関東 | WV 65 SF 1 | Kalafina - Magia

100% will be voting in this NF! Seen plenty of anime, so hopefully I know a few of these~

Also, is that second GIF hinting at a possible entry? I can imagine either one of Hyadain's Nichijou OPs doing rather well in WV...

Re: Kantō 関東 | WV 65 SF 1 | Kalafina - Magia

Kalafina has usually good songs to propose to their fans, but this one is slightly different, to me.
Those rock songs are really enjoyable to listen to.
I'm really excited to know whether you'll qualify with 'Magia' or not, but you're already qualified inside of my heart.

GO, GO, GO ! xjump

Re: Kantō 関東 | WV 65 Final | Kalafina - Magia | WV66 NF is Up! DDL: 9 July 23:59 CET

Ooh, a lovely selection of songs. I know four of these, and the other two are also quite nice... it's going to be hard for me to separate my scores for these! Also - I see you ended up actually going with Hyadain

One note, though - YouTube's region locks are being a pain again, so three of the entries are is blocked, at least in Aus: aLIEz, Kakakata☆Kataomoi-c, and Raise Your Flag. As with Kalafina last time around, it's not a particular issue for me since I actually know them all already, but an alternate source could help other voters if possible. I've tried to find one for each:

aLIEz: All I could find that wasn't pitch-shifted or a cover was this live version. If you want everyone to be able to hear the recorded version, then maybe try to upload it yourself as an unlisted video? Worked for my own NF without getting copyright claims, at least.

Kakakata☆Kataomoi-c: A re-source with the proper video and audio - the only difference is it's got some Spanish subs on it.

Raise Your Flag: Same thing, just on the official VEVO channel.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Give it a little more time if you can - I think there are a lot of people who don't check national finals until after the current edition is done. Worst case scenario, you'll at least end up with (my) one set of votes~
