Week 38 Day 7 - Uninstall

And to end the week with a Bang, here's my next song:-


[Leave the NND comments ON for this vid to work best]

Song: アンインストール by 石川智晶
ANINSUTOORU (Uninstall) by Chiaki Ishikawa


Don't let the intro put you off (like it almost did for me). This is a great song, and it was used as the OP to the show Bokurano [ぼくらの | "Our"], which was a pretty decent show itself. The OP found below:-


[Make of the show's mood what you will]

Several lyrics sources (which is worth a read at), found here, here and there.

Now, additional stuffs:-


[The actual PV. Would you believe that Chiaki is about 37-38 when the PV is made?]

Now, there have been a few cover versions for this song. First and foremost is of course:-


[Hatsune MIKU and Kagamine RIN version. The CUTENESS!!]
[Other VOCALOID covers include the OFFICIAL Hatsune MIKU version, MEIKO, KAITO, Kasane Teto & VY01 and even Iroha Neko. Also a variety of choruses.


[Cover by m.o.v.e]


[Awesome cover by Masaaki Endoh. Video COMPLETELY irrelevant]

Moving onto nico covers and nico chorus, this one tends to sum it all up:-


[It even has a nice omake section, which I'm still trying to find the source]
[Note: Use this link to find other singers that caught your attention.]


[Ver by Gomu. He was trying hard... I think]


[Re:'s acapella version of the OP edit. A full version sung (with music) is found here.]


[ISAJI's version deserves some sort of special mention. Though it's only relevant for the first 90 seconds (and not the LAST 90 seconds, thankfully)]


[Interesting ROCK version, though I don't think it's the same as the one in the above nico-chorus]


[Another Nico-chorus version, CHAOS version that is.]


[The best version. Most of the original works can be viewed here.]

Moving on to instrumental covers, we have:-


[The great piano cover from Do no Hito. Always wanting to learn this version]


[Synthesia version. Comes quite close to the above]


[Scream no hito's Violin version.]


[A very interesting band-session, as it gives a different mood to it]


[But nothing quite beats this band-session]


[And nothing beats this one too. But do watch this one too.]


[A very interesting Metal/Electronic remix]

And finally moving on to MADs and other interesting vids:-


[A relevant MAD to Suzumiya Haruhi. Here's another that tries to emulate the "disappearance" story line, 3 years before the movie got released. It's great.]


[For those who do not know Lucky Star, this is not how the show really is]

Other MADs include a FF7:AC MAD, Gintama, IdolM@ster, Nanoha & FFX amongst many others.


[Pitched down ALMOST choir-like version]


[And I can't mention choir without these lamas, now can I?]


[A collection of TRAUMA anime-scenes. This vid is likely in response to...]


[The games that apparently causes trauma to many. I like the vid though]

And to top it all off, the one song that got me into EXIT Trance:-


[As I said, EXIT Trance]

OK, that ends it. I probably over-stayed by post here.
I managed to brave through the week being half-sick (by that I mean being sick for half the week) and still managed to deliver. Next week's theme will be a focus on a particular group (much like the m.o.v.e or TWO-MIX ones), so look forward to it. I have featured this band partially once before, but it's still a pleasure to do more.

Until then, see you Sunday.

Note: I have lost the official count to the number of times I have heard this song (not counting the variations found here, but almost everytime I reformat my PC (every 9-11 months), the play count is at least 400+. Phew! And still loving it.
