Hola Familia!

Late again this weekend! I know. I have no reason this time other than I chose to go to bed early yesterday, which is rare for me. I don’t have school on Monday, so yay! I am excited to get a lot done with recording and editing, but enough about the boring stuff I do. Let’s get to the music!

BAND-MAID Sunday:

I would say that I rarely go back and relisten to BAND-MAID songs for reactions, but that’s so not true. I want to revisit it because I have been listening to the music of the previous albums more often lately at the gym and I really want to revisit “What is Justice?” For a little change up, I would like to watch the anime music video version. I thought it would be fun to see the the crossover of the meaning behind the song with the artistry of the anime. BAND-MAID does such a good job of capturing the essence of a show through lyrics, so I want to see what they went off of to create this epic song!

Aoi Yuki - Logicana Distance

When I read that the vocalist in this song is the voice actor of MaoMao in the anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” I knew I had to check this song out. I just finished a new episode of this anime and I couldn’t help but compliment the show on how the Aoi Yuki’’s voice really embodies the personality of Maomao. Because of her sort of low timbre of her voice, I couldn’t imagine her singing, so I imagine this is going to be a big surprise for me!

Faetooth - Hole

Reading some of the description of this band’s newest album made me interested in this reaction. The words “rooted in self-discovery through disorientation, the idea that understanding comes not from escape, but from getting lost,” stuck out to me. I don’t know what genre or style of music I am getting into with Faetooth, but I am excited to figure it out. I am excited to get lost within their music, as the description says!

BAND-MAID - What is Justice? (Instrumental & Live from TGT, 2025)

Last week I was surprised by the instrumental of “Ready to Rock,” getting to see the whole performance and then getting to see the individual angles was a treat! We are doing that again and OF COURSE we are going to see the live performance of “What is Justice?” from their recent concert! AH!

ANIME Reactions:

Sound! Euphonium - Season 3, Ep. 13

I know this that is the final episode. I know the competition is in this episode. I won’t lie to you...I haven’t watched this episode yet. I try to watch all my anime reactions in order in which they come out, but I wasn’t sure if I was going to be fully emotionally prepared to watch this episode. I know it’s the last episode...I am not ready.

The Apothecary Diaries - Season 1, Ep. 19

I was clutching my pearls in this episode! Poor Maomao! But she saved the day and I couldn’t help but feel flutters when Jinshi carries her off!

K-On! - Season 2, Ep. 12

I loved this episode! When I was their age I wanted to badly to go to a music festival, outside or inside, it didn’t matter. I wanted so bad to go see concert after concert of bands that I loved and didn’t know I would love. Seeing fictional characters live out your childhood dream is somewhat healing for me. I also love that they had that conversation that they are good enough to be on that stage. I think they could make it someday!

This week was more rough because it was a full week of school. I honestly really dislike when we start the week off on a Tuesday. It feels like the week shouldn’t exist if there isn’t a Monday. I believe 3 day weekends should start on Friday and then we should always have Monday. I have some fun plans coming up in the next few months. I am going to see Akira Yamaoka at the House of Blues in Dallas in March and my brother and I will be seeing Lacuna Coil in April. You know what that means! More NittBro reactions!

Wish me luck for next week!

Con Amor,💜NittPicc💜
