{ A heart bled eternally at 10:43 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

Wine hues flow from Gakudan, an anime midi archive, as Fushigi Yuugi Suzaku Shichi Seishi Tasuki and Tamahome grace the site’s opening spread.

I have been collecting anime music since year 2000. This archive is part of the stuff I have lugged and stored around various hard drives over the years.

Currently, there are midis from 17 different anime series available for download.

     Pinoy Big Brother Fanlisting Jam
{ A heart bled eternally at 10:09 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

House Jam is the fanlisting for Pinoy Big Brother , the Philippine version of the hugely popular international reality television franchise, Big Brother.

Current layout is entitled Gridlock, with a simple, imageless design put together by grids, to mirror the “closed off from the world outside” premise of Big Brother. This spread makes extensive use of divs and tables, as well as the foreboding combination of light text on red and black.

{ A heart bled eternally at 10:06 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

Merry Christmas to all our visitors! We bring two new anime series’ music fanlistings as gifts.

Groove to the music of the anime series Hunter X Hunter at its very own fanlisting, with a rockin’ first version entitled Like I Feel.

The current layout of The Hunter X Hunter Music Fanlisting is amber, brown and golden yellow, featuring Killua, Gon, Kurapika and Leorio in a fun, relaxed mood. It was named Like I Feel from a phrase of the HXH song, Ejan~Do You Feel Like I Feel?, the anime’s second ending theme and one of the series’ most popular tracks.

Aim for the Light and let yourselves go at Planet Dance, the fanlisting for music of the mecha anime series Macross 7.

The Macross 7 Music Fanlisting‘s layout is made up of tight tables and a red and yellow color scheme, featuring Fire Bomber guitarist/lead vocalist Nekki Basara and bassist/co-vocalist Mylene Flare Jenius. Design has lyrics from the song Planet Dance and was likewise named after a phrase from the same track.

     Hunter X Hunter: Hisoka and Illumi Fanlistings
{ A heart bled eternally at 7:32 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

This time, two Hunter X Hunter animanga series fanlistings have been added to the collective.

The j-rock band X Japan and their song Alive inspired the launching layout of Faithless, the fanlisting for the relationship between Hisoka and Illumi Zaoldyeck.

The theme of The Hisoka x Illumi Zaoldyeck Relationship Fanlisting is essentially earthy, with shades of black, brown and red. Design features blended single and joint images of these two beautiful, dangerous Hunters.

Drawing inspiration from the song by Texas, here comes the Summer Son in the form of beautiful, icy Illumi Zaoldyeck and his brand-new solo fanlisting, Fatal.

The opening version of The Illumi Zaoldyeck Fanlisting was created with a black, red and earthen orange palette.
