Kagamine Rin - Esora

What does a typical Kagamine birthday look like? A typical Kagamine birthday usually means that Nicovideo is virtually stormed by a striking amount of videos featuring the twins with eyes big as a saucers and overall kawaii level overloading my sensitive kawaii-meter. The music is… eh, typical as well (see, I can be subtle when I want to :) ).

In such a hostile for every sentient person environment, a new work by “Ratai-no-Silhouette” certainly comes as a breath of fresh air. For starters, the video uses 0 (zero) Kagamine Rin’s images. Given all that kawaii spree around, it is a fucking breakthrough! But VMW is yet not posting videos basing on Rin’s presence there only. So yes, “Ratai-no-Silhouette” are kicking asses again with what I loosely define as alternative rock. The music is a fine balance between dense, heavy rock and more lyrical melodies, between ‘classic’ elements and more uncommon features. The latter is seamlessly incorporated into the overall soundscape, which is usually hard to achieve. So the guys show us their mastery. The guitar parts are the core here.

And of course, where we’ve started, we should end. Kagamine Rin, the hero of the day (sorry, Len ;) ), confirms by her singing that the whole turmoil was worth it. So, ehh… Happy Birthday, Rinny?! :)))
