#JukeboxFridayNight #GamesWePlay

Fiddler's Green - Sporting Day
https://songwhip.com/fiddlers-green/sporting-day

The theme is inspired by some sports event, so I have to pick at least one song about physical activities. Yay, sports!?!

Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy Hole
https://songwhip.com/wind-rose/diggy-diggy-hole

And I'll also include the other kind of games. This one is a cover of a song that was inspired by playing Minecraft. Well.

Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)

You know... it's funny!?

#JMusicFriday #GuiltyPleasures

You know, I don't like the idea of guilty pleasures. If I enjoy something, I shouldn't feel ashamed about it. That makes it really difficult to pick a song.

In the end, I decided to go for something "old internet". The songs are still great, but the visuals are... well, let's call it a bit outdated. It's the closest thing to guilty pleasure I can come up with. They aren't even the official MVs, but it's the thing people associate with the songs... Nightmare City.

403 Forbiddena - Southern Cross

#ThursdayFiveList #TheVoid

I'm not sure at all if I was in the right head space to contribute to this weeks list, but... hey, it worked out somehow.
I included one song that actually features... THE VOID!?! The other ones are songs that leave a void when I listen to them or convey an emptiness I can strongly relate with.

#AlbumMonday #VideoGameOST

Another one? Okay! :spyfam_anya_smug:

I'm not interested in listening to video game music outside of the games, but if I had to list one, it has to be the OST of the first Grandia game, composed by Noriyuki Iwadare.
I may feel a deeper connection to this soundtrack compared to others because it's the music of my favorite game of all time aaaand also one of the games I spend the most time with. There are songs on this OST that trigger very happy memories and emotions for me. :ds_mitsurilovelurk:

#AnimangaPictureChallenge - This week, we were looking for something round or spherical. Luckily, I'm currently catching up with Giant Killing (just 30-ish volumes to go!), which made the task extremely easy.

It's also a great Manga. As someone who finds soccer incredibly boring, I'm still amazed how absorbed in this story I can get. Especially because the Manga isn't flashy at all and has no super skills. It's just honest and serious soccer played by professionals. It's also great to skip the high school setting with a sport Manga.

#AnimangaFoundIt #Manga

I was a bit bored today, so I decided to update my Isekai Manga 3x3. A lot of things have changed thanks to some series I read over the last couple of weeks. Well, change only means that the list gets better :spyfam_anya_smug:

I also excluded favorite Anime and Manhwa Isekai because I wouldn't be able to pick nine favorites and also Manga with 15 or fewer chapters. There are some that I would already consider for the list, but I want to see how they develop first.

Oh, and I'm always open to recommendations. I've already read a lot of the mainstream stuff, but I'm very interested in some niche titles.

#Manga #Isekai

Thanks to JMusicFriday, I'm re-discovering all the Red Bacteria Vacuum stuff and the music is still fuckin' awesome. Love these girls!!

(Oh, I also love their new stuff after rebranding into Jungles!!!, but this toot is about the time as RBV)

#JMusicFriday #Music #JMusic #Punk

@gnitro You can feel the age of the song just by the style of pop music 😅😅 Which isn't bad at all. It's an amazing song, just as expected by such a power house name like Morning Musume.

#JMusicFriday #OldButGold

Songs that are at least 10 years old? No problem! I get the chance to dive into the early years of one of my favorite bands, thanks to this topic. Something I haven't done in a while.

ORESKABAND - 花のスカダンス
https://youtu.be/PtgDS8ruBOE

Oh, and I include some bonus songs:

10-Feet - River
https://youtu.be/MPfOYr5YkiM

Yum!Yum!ORANGE - Dan!Dan!Dan!
https://youtu.be/dTwMWxuCDzA

GOLLBETTY - G.M.W
https://youtu.be/EFcXLZx-6gY

Red Bacteria Vacuum - No-Ten Fuck!!
https://youtu.be/m2fERMI1_Pg

#ThursdayFiveList #TheLive

This task was a tricky one! I prefer my live music to be... well, live. It wasn't easy to come up with five picks, but some of my favorite artists at least have some very highly produced live sessions that turned out damn well!
Oh, and everything is german this week. I hope you still enjoy it :spyfam_anya_delighted:

Drangsal - Liedrian
https://youtu.be/siWV_qBCpzM

Mia Morgan - Waveboy

Casper - Lang lebe der Tod

#TuneTuesday #MusicEvolution 2/2

The second band is Eluveitie. They're not only on the list because they evolved a lot musically and production-wise. Ignoring the singer, it's basically a completely different band 😅

Song: Of Fire, Wind & Wisdom
Spirit (2006)
https://youtu.be/2DYKsQqQgSk

Song: Rebirth
Ategnatos (2019)
https://youtu.be/d-pSq4MJmy8

#TuneTuesday #MusicEvolution 1/2

We're listening to two songs today. One from the first and one from the most recent album of an artist. It's a great topic, and I want to go for two different artists.

The first one is MARINA. She was always a great singer, sticked to her values, but also discovered herself new with every album, while refining her style a lot over the years. Also... I take every chance to put MARINA on my lists.

Song: Oh No!
The Family Jewels (2010)
https://youtu.be/Cr-SqRWImmI

Song: Purge the Poison
Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land (2021)
https://youtu.be/W5u3kP85LYI

@gnitro Glad to hear. It's baffling to me how this show can get any attention at all. This statement will be my first and last. I've talked against so many walls on Twitter when the remake was announced. I'm tired of it.

Normally, I'd just mute a hashtag if I don't want to read about something, but I will make an exception for everyone who brings up Kenshin and just get rid of them immediately 😘😘 #Anime

#TuneTuesday #ShakeTheDancefloor

It was so hard to "hold back" with this challenge. It seems like I have to make a playlist out of all the songs I considered.

Some of the songs I picked aren't exactly dance music, but all five picks are songs that filled the dancefloors in the small clubs I liked because they're sing-along songs that also make your body move.
