Starting to feel the spring warmth.

Goddag! Looking outside on the fourth floor there's a blue sky with beautiful white clouds and scenes of parts of the city in construction and the views of the roofs of shopping centres. For some reason there are several surrounding my polytech. Makes it convenient though. :3
So, today I will prattle on about more Danish music, and the anime/manga series Hetalia!

Raid 9: Noto-sama Game on Himaruya-sensei's Website

I'm not saying it's actually on the site. It's about to be. The latest edition of the Noto-sama games being released by "Axis Powers Hetalia"'s creator Himaruya Hidekaz is about to be released in about 2 weeks (he said approximately 10 days since he found a good server for people to get it from). Currently a student of the Parsons School of Design in New York, he's a freakin' legend. For one he's one of the first famous Japanese artists to be successful worldwide without having to live in Japan, and he's very good at flash, photoshop, character design and game making just to name a few. And there was also a time when I got overexcited 'cos I finally clicked that when I was watching Project Runway the location was the Parsons School of Fashion. *V*
But yes, should be very exciting once the game comes out for download since apparently he's fixed the bugs that were in the previous game and is a nice edition after the April Fools game for Hetalia released last month (which I still have to play...). The link to Himaruya-sensei's site is in my bookmarks on the right as [Kitayume.].

Raid 10: Nephew Still Going Strong
The first Danish band I came across since near the middle of the first semester of this year (which is where my obsession with Denmark sprung forth), "Nephew" has been rocking the Danish charts.... Passively. xD They're the type of band that makes you either worship them or want to stab them with forks. Basically, either you love 'em or hate 'em. The band has got a grungy feel to them and use mostly blacks, grays and reds for their graphic design, typography and music videos. Their album cover is lovely as well, with a lion in the middle surrounded by those colours in a linear design. They've also done projects (that are put up on Youtube) for film makers to make a video based on the songs from their latest album "Danmark/Denmark". Which by the way, is a good album. "Va Fangool!" has a very addictive beat. ^^
Below I have embedded the music video for the track "007 is Also Gonna Die" by Nephew. This is a very good example of their visual aesthetic and creativity. Enjoy!!

That shall be all for today, looks like the average is 2 raids per day... A lot goes on in New Zealand (surprisingly) but am always stuck on things to be opinionated about (lol). Now to go read the Copenhagen Post...
Hej med dig!
