Thank you all for the birthday praise :D, I haven’t read any of it yet (killer suspense, I know), but I will sometime tonight or tomorrow!! I had such an awesome day with family and even got to order some expensive anime, so I will be expecting some nice mail in due time. And yes, the cake was fantastic, sorry I couldn’t serve you all a piece 😉
But that celebrating aside, we’ve got day 14 of the song challenge. Something I liked when I was younger . . . hmm, ooh, I think I’ve got a few to fit the bill!
Hamtaro Opening (old English dub)
OMG I didn’t realize how cringe-worthy this was until now. Oh lawd, it’s been a looonng time hehe. I’ve got nothing else to say on this one other than I still have tapes of this in my room. “Little hamsters, big adventures” :>
Code Lyoko Opening (English)
I know this is technically a French production, but it’s got all of the vibes of anime, so I went ahead and threw it in because this was my jam way back when! My siblings and I would dress up and “login to Lyoko” where we would basically throw pillows at invisible targets. It was lame as all hell, but you can’t deny childhood! How I miss this show ~
The Sailor Moon Theme Song in English
Some things are actually better in English, and to me, this is one of those great things. This song needs no introduction, it’s freakin’ Sailor Moon! I LOVE THESE LYRICS. My sister still has a ton of random tapes from when we picked those up at the local store in our early childhood. In fact, she’s got them displayed in her little anime shelf of her own #raisedwell
But seriously, if childhood had an anthem for anime fans, it has got to be this. Has anyone seen the new dub by Viz Media yet? I’ve been dying to, but I heard they dropped all of the old English dub names, which is kind of a bummer. I actually thought that those were their real names until I learned what dubbing was lol, like ya do. I still plan to pick up Sailor Moon S, as I believe that is my favorite!
And that’ll do it for day 14! Other suitable songs would have been any of the Pokemon themes, the Beyblade Metal Fusion English opening, and, as much as I love/hate it, the Bakugan opening. If you know what that show is, you’re my new favorite 🙂 I’ll stop using emoticons now, till tomorrow ~

Ah nostalgic memories flowing in my mind. I remember Hamtaro and Code Lyoko songs. They were part of my childhood.

I knew you had mentioned something about those ham hams in a previous post, but it’s nice to hear from another Lyoko fan. Ahh, those were the days ~

I will admit, even I missed some episodes, I really love the intro music. Those were the days where watching TV was part of my childhood.

Exactly! Now all I do is watch off of my iPad and laptop. I yearn for the old days to return like a mother waiting for her son to return from the war. 😦

Naw don’t sweat it, you can never be too late to a birthday party – just showing up is all the magic 🙂 and to put you at ease, cause it was freakin’ delicious, my mom made two cakes, one vanilla and one chocolate. Then I made a chocolate and vanilla butter cream frosting to go on each one. I added a frilly turquoise frosting border to the white and brown tops, and finished with some light gold sprinkles. BEST EVAHHH!

American companies usually butcher Japanese cartoon openings, but sometimes they do a good job.

I agree. I’ve heard my fair share of “Oh god no, look what you’ve done America.” But then I hear some and fall in love. I suppose it’s all about perspective.

Oh, omg, I thought you were talking about Lyoko. Oohhhh *face the palm* So you thought the Sailor Moon dub was meh, yeah, I’ve listened to a clip of “Serena’s” voice, and was like, uh, nope. Nope, not doin’ it! I thought the rest were okay, Sailor V and I think Rei and Jupiter weren’t too bad, but I only heard a clip, which is not much to judge. Oh, Luna I think, yeah I don’t like her voice at all!
