Musicademia 6 ‘Patriotissimo’… again, tainted by Wasabi!

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

I hate it when a mistake happened twice - ESPECIALLY when it again happened to an otherwise perfect concert!

In this Musicademia 6 we have a very experienced orchestra, the TO. We have an assembly of great singers, from the Australian Tenor James Egglestone to the young aspiring singer Sherina and pianist Kevin (it’s not his fault he’s TO conductor’s son). We have a fabulous repertoire of great songs from Indonesia Raya (yes, THE Indonesia Raya) to Tatakau Monotachi to Superman’s Theme. We have all that mixed into an unforgettable performance.

WHY IT HAS TO BE RUINED IN THE END BY A GROUP WHO CAN’T EVEN GET ITS SOUND SETTINGS RIGHT?!!!!

Grrrrr.

Shina Unleashed… World, beware!

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

First off, a short summary:

====================

ShinafrontJo, already at the limit after losing his beloved parents and sister in a car accident, was ready to take his own life when a little girl, badly bruised, appeared seemingly out of nowhere at his place in the middle of the night… Worse, Shina - as her name turned out to be - couldn’t remember anything except her own name and Jo’s!

Even though still somewhat perplexed, Jo decided to take in the little girl. Initial resistance from his close friend Lei and harrassment attempts from his somewhat *cough cough* ‘little-girl-loving’ acquaintance Toni didn’t faze Jo’s resolve. Gradually, the pain of loss began to fade, and Jo looked forward to living happy and lively days with Shina.

However, the three of them realized too late that a woman has been shadowing Shina all the time, a woman willing to do whatever it takes to return the little girl to her real self none of them wish they know about…

====================

Elex put Shina on Sep 06 release date, and they didn’t disappoint… Kinda funny that I will probably have to read the printed release days later than everybody else, but when you guys do I’d really appreciate your comments and feedbacks :-)
