Romeo X Juliet Music

Got to sit down and watch the amazing Romeo X Juliet anime in the last few days. I know, I'm a bit late, the series came out in 2007, but hey, been busy -_-. I'll make minor (spoiler-less) review of it on Chuck's Anime Shrine, but for here on anime.fm, let's talk about the music of Romeo X Juliet...

Throughout the series, in the opening and embedded in almost all the background music is the popular song "You Raise Me Up" called "Inori~You Raise Me Up" beautifully done in both Japanese and English by Lena Park. Also heard in the ending sequence is the song "Cyclone" by 12012. "Cyclone" is in half of the series's ending and though a J-Rock song that's the complete opposite of the "You Raise Me Up", it fits well with the feelings of anger and unquenchable justice that the series partakes.

I've added the songs to the bottom of the anime playlist (found at the bottom) as well as the opening and ending clips via Youtube are here as well. I'd stock the soundtrack in my store for all you to purchase but sadly it's out of production -_-

Be sure to support Romeo X Juliet, their animators Gonzo and their music artists by purchasing the anime and music.

The New Anime.fm

Took me a sweet long time but here's the much better version of anime.fm that I've had in my mind for a few months. Granted it's still not 100% to what I want and after some feedback from other developers, much more is to come ^_^ Here's a run-down of what is new, and of course, what is planned:

(New)

• Overall layout change
• far less ads (no need for ads cluttering the page)
• blog post share tools like digg, facebook, twitter, etc (as on the Chuck's Anime Shrine blog)
• added the anime.fm gadget to the design for less clutter and ease of use
  
• a Hulu.com plugin with 30 watchable anime/game related series. You can watch full episodes (legally) from many anime series like Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, Astro Boy, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, etc. (sorry non-US viewers but as you might know, Hulu.com isn't viewable for you :-(, any legal way to stream anime episodes, I'll be sure to add it.
• Better summaries of my site Chuck's Anime Shrine and of course Dannychoo.com than the old yahoo pipes version that was on here
• A feed that ties right into my store for you to buy true licensed anime figures, DVD and music
  

(Planned changes)

• fix the rss parser to not show the newest post on this page (oops ^^;;)
• Will add content to that J-pop News section you might see here, as well as use that space for artist to advertise their music, and/or for lists of CDs to buy to also support artists.
  
• Pages themed and based on different genres of music we anime fans like
  
• a section dedicated to AMVs
• a section dedicated to legal streaming anime from Hulu and anywhere else that is legal and in support of the anime industry. (Sorry, no illegal fan dubbing streams, gotta keep the people who create the content in business)
  
• a login section either tied in to google or direct to this site
• ...and possibly a member's section for you guys to post blog posts as well.

Special Note: Of course, please note that the image here in this post and the banner and bg images are not owned by me. All credit goes to the artists. I will eventually get an artist to do custom art for both here and Chuck's Anime Shrine...as well as draw some myself ^^.
