  “Kokoro no Antenna” Review: Theme Song For Pokémon’s 12th Movie

  May 30, 2010 | Patrick Gann | 3 Comments Share this “Kokoro no Antenna” Review: Theme Song For Pokémon’s 12th Movie

  

  Wait… hold on a second here. Pokémon has twelve movies now? That’s crazy. But yes, it’s true. Specifically, this movie is the third in the Diamond and Pearl generation, and its full English title is Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life.

  The film’s theme song, “Kokoro no Antenna” (Antenna of the Heart) is performed by Shoko Nakagawa. Nakagawa is a “multi-threat” talent (Seiyuu / voice acting, singing, TV acting, etc), and alongside singing the theme song, she has a guest role in the film as a Pichu.

  Being an on-again off-again fan of the Pokémon franchise, particularly the animation, I decided to check out Nakagawa’s vocal single and see if it could stand up to some of my past favorites. How did Nakagawa fare with Kokoro no Antenna? Find out after the jump! (more…)

  DOD: Game Boy Month Results & November Theme

  November 1, 2009 | Audun Sorlie | 3 Comments Share this DOD: Game Boy Month Results & November Theme

  

  A new month, a new DoD. DoD, of course, is Dwelling of Duels, the monthly video game music remix competition that has been around since 2004 and is still going strong. This month it was Game Boy Month, where all games released on Game Boy and Game Boy Color were allowed. Most of us grew up with that handheld wonder, and I can still remember the first time I played the Game Boy. I was on a vacation in Sweden and my mother bought me one at the toy store, and with it, I got Tetris, Dr. Mario, Gargoyle’s Quest and Kung-Fu Master ’cause there was a deal where you bought 3 games and got 1 free. Out of those, Gargoyle’s Quest was my favorite, and to this day I still pick it up and play it on travels; it’s tradition to me.

  Find out the results to this month and the theme for November after the jump! (more…)
