Song of the Week 10: Senbonzakura

Sure hope this is the right song. Theoretically, this is Kakichoco’s version of Senbonzakura (the original is a vocaloid song by Hatsune Miku). Sorry to say, but I like this song a whole lot more than the original because…well, I just don’t like how vocaloids sound. That being said, there are plenty of covers of this song out there and I have to say Kakichoco does the best job. As for the music itself, I actually thought it was a Touhou song at first because of the style.

But yeah…randomly found this version from a Katanagatari MAD and I think it’s pretty cool, so now it’s the song of the week. Woohoo?

Arcana Famiglia Episode 6

Episode this week seemed semi-serious in comparison to the other ones. Not sure what happened in the final scene, though, when the three realize that Jolly knew what happened on the ship. I get that Dante was trying to test them and their powers, but was he doing it for his own sake or for the family? Because if he was doing it without telling anyone, Jolly becomes even more suspicious, but otherwise, Dante just told Jolly and the three realize that it was all a test or something. Anyway, we finally get to see Nova’s power, which knocks people unconscious (reminds me of Tear from Tales of the Abyss if anyone gets the reference). Answers my question about what happened to his parents from last week.

Also, apparently Liberta knows how to activate his power? When did he figure that out? I suppose the more important question is whether he’s now able to do this whenever he needs or whether it was just because of the tense moment that he was able to do it. And will Felicita be figuring this out after watching both Nova and Liberta? All that aside, it looks like next week will be back to what we’ve seen in the previous episodes…random stuff (Luca-focused, I guess).
