Hong Kong and Mabinogi

Posted by on May 15, 2008 3 comments

I was browsing through my usual haunts earlier and for some reason got the urge to find an mp3 for the vocal version of a niconico medley that I’ve been listening to lately. No, it’s the not the classic niconico medley that people know and love but a different one:

Like a lot of things on niconico, I have no idea how this was inspired, but it flows really well for how long it is. The original for the medley is non-vocal, but this version……is just really nice to listen to. Hong Kong, the singer, has a really nice and soothing voice that you’d think she was a professional.

Not to mention that StarDust was about the size of a magazine. The paper is also quite smooth. I’m not sure if it’s the same as the mythical “manga paper” that Wong talked about at one point, but I was quite impressed that it was such good quality paper which an equally good printing. Maybe that’s why the Advent Cirno scans are usually pretty good.
