Interview: LiSA

[ActuallyMag] Being the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in an all-girl rock band called Girls Dead Monster is not all as it is cut out to be. Apart from rocking out stages in her high school, she also has to help out the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS), an organization that fights against God and the school’s student council president Angel, both set to make her band and the organization’s life a living hell.

All this takes place in the popular Anime series Angel Beats! where rocker chic LiSA plays the singing voice of the band’s leader, Yui. Akin to her Anime character, LiSA is fearless in her own right. Moving to Tokyo from her hometown in Gifu prefecture located in the Chūbu region of central Japan, she carved a dream that even she didn’t thought would happen. ActuallyMag speaks to the real virtual rock princess ahead of her I Love Anisong concert held at the Anime Festival Asia 2011.

I don’t know why but “Duel” presented by roughcutpresents.com and Bird Box Studio is the most hilarious animation I’ve seen so far this year.

I stumbled upon this beautifully charming music video designed and animated by New Zealander Matt Pitt aka redkidOne to the tune of ambient musician Rhian Sheehan’s “Standing in Silence”. I particularly enjoy a storyline that tells a different tale (from its initial statement) as the story unfolds. Kinda like watching a crisp bright pink salmon cooked to perfection and then left to burn -gorgeous either way.
