[C86] ComicMarket 86 Coverage Part 4

MAYBE (maybe) the final blog update before Sunday! I will keep posting any other small updates to our twitter! (You can also see some CDs that were nice, but not "denpa" enough to make the cut to be featured on an entry on the site at our twitter.) Hope to see you there! Don't forget to check out the rest of our coverage!



ねこじゃが* - B√モア

2014/08/17(Sun) 東 ル 15b

Nekojaga's 2nd album was supposed to be released at the last M3.. Fans lined up until the very last minute (literally) hoping that one of the circle members would bring the CD in time to sell even a few copies, but in the end, they didn't make it in time and not a single CD was sold. So now, here's your chance, assuming nothing goes wrong this time!

By the way, if you didn't know, Sekai Project is releasing the game in English on Steam too!

Not one but TWO releases from 33.turbo! The first is an all new release, 電波de休日, all about spending your holidays denpa style. 4 tracks, and one bonus track. I think we all know what kind of bonus track to expect from these guys by now!



The next release from 33.turbo is 電波 de BEST! For those who are new to this circle and looking for an introduction, here's a great start. And of course, all completionist fans will need it too. There are no entirely new tracks, but "いまいち萌えないうた" has not been released on CD previously - only on nico nico douga. (You can learn about Imaichi Moenai Ko here.) We congratulate 33.turbo on their many years releasing original denpa music, and look forward to whatever they come up with next!

第二生徒会室 - HANOFIORE

2014/08/17(Sun) 東リ-02a



This release from 第二生徒会室 is a bit cute, and a bit cool! And that cover art is a bit dangerous!!




おでんぱ☆スタジオ - ♥チキンナゲット(黴)

2014/08/17(Sun) 東リ07-b
300 Yen (200 yen with coupon)


Still no crossfade, so this release is still somewhat wrapped in mystery... But apparently it's about moldy chicken nuggets. Chicken or kiken? (Kiken means "danger".) This has the potential to be one of their most surreal releases yet. Only one song this time around.



こいけまさ屋 - Future KISSING

2014/08/17(Sun) 東リ06b




In a surprise move, 小池雅也 of ULTRA-PRISM and UNDER17 fame, has started his own personal circle for doujin releases! (It says this is his first time, but didn't he also release stuff at Comike under "4-EVER"?) Anyway, he's teaming up with ULTRA-PRISM's 月宮うさぎ. But This isn't an official ULTRA-PRISM release! At least, I don't think it is?!



茶柱工房。 - Summer Land!!!

A nice summery album, with special guests ちぃむdmp☆ featured on the 2nd track, which is composed by まろん, and they are joined by なゆ, ゆきまめ, and トーリカ・タカナシェンコ!

Necomimi☆スペースノイド worldwide online album release!

(PayPal issues solved!! The album is now available!!)



Japanese doujin and indie music can be frustratingly difficult to track down outside of Japan... but worldwide denpa listeners rejoice! Necomimi☆スペースノイド (Necomimi☆Spacenoid) has decided to share their amazing first album, "Omnibus" with the whole world via Bandcamp!




Necomimi☆スペースノイド has a unique sound which is enchanting while also slightly off kilter. Combine that with cute vocals and engaging lyrics, and you can an album I couldn't help but loop again and again. You will find a variety of inspiration from different sources on this album, from 80s pop music to sci-fi stories. The lyrics vary from sad to silly to mixed up German/Russian/English, all of which are highly enjoyable. (Although not included on the album, gamers will also want to check out their cover of Pollyanna (I Believe in You) from Earthbound / Mother!)

Originally, their vocalist was none other than one of my favorite idols, 森永まみ. Sadly she left the group before I got to know them very well, though I had liked what I heard and stored their name in my memory banks. Much to my surprise, at M3 2012 fall, I stumbled onto the announcement of their album release - with 2 new vocalists - just before the event, without much time to promote them here on Denpa no Sekai. I have a feeling many denpa fans out there might have overlooked this album due to the lack of promotion, so I am extremely happy it's available for all to download now. After purchasing the album, any doubts I had about replacing Mamipyon were forgotten - the dual vocals are a perfect match for the music, and the arrangements improved since what I had heard of the previous versions.

(Live video from when 森永まみ was their vocalist)


(Another shot of previous members)

Unlike what we are used to with most denpa groups, necomimi☆スペースノイド has a full band with 6 members: ちょこ (Choko) and ましろ (Mashiro) on vocals, 高開 洋 (Takakai Hiroshi) on keyboard, 武井 慎也 (Takei Shinya) on guitar, 斎藤 ぴよんこ (Saitou Pyonko) on synthesizer and chorus, and mastermind 飛鋭78式改 (Hiei Nanahachi Shiki Kai) on talkbox, vocal, chorus, programming, and song writing. I talked to Hiei on twitter, and he is always very happy to receive any feedback from anyone in any country, so he was eager to release the album via Bandcamp when I suggested the idea to him. He didn't get much response to the M3 release, so if you like it, feel free to let him know!



However, he's not the first member of the band I had contact with: at the last 電キュン (Denkyun) event after party, a very sweet and cutely-voiced girl sat next to me and we began to chat. After I mentioned I liked Mamipyon and necomimi☆スペースノイド, she got very surprised - because she was ちょこ, one of the vocalists!! She has an amazingly cute voice, on top of a genuine interest and passion for denpa music. Definitely a singer to keep your eyes on. Besides necomimi☆スペースノイド, she has two active projects: One is her anison cover band, "DEM P@roject", which as you might have guessed from the name, focuses on denpa and moe anime music. Follow their twitter for the latest info, or you can you follow ちょこ on twitter or check her blog too! latest info. I saw them live on 5/3, and it was a blast! The set list included favorites new and old, and anime and game music too. Their next live is coming on on 6/9 at 代々木labo! More info coming soon!

And although we already posted it on twitter, don't forget, she also participated  in an album at M3: 「勝手に主題歌歌ってみたvol.1」, which features new completely original opening songs for existing anime. Her track, which can be heard on the website, or embedded below, is a positively rockin yet denpa, cute yet wild, unforgettable number that makes you want to get start head banging.



Hopefully, necomimi☆スペースノイド will start a trend of international online releases, so if you like what you hear, please support them... and not just them, but any artists you like, let them know people out there in this wide world think they're flippin awesome!!

So to summarize,
