Here's the relevant part:



Not-So-Daily Links of the Day: Former Morning Musume singer Ai Kago (Mini Moni the TV) and Public Enemy producer/guitarist Brian Hardgroove are among the dozen duos performing electronic-music-influenced covers of magical girl anime theme songs on the Kirakira Majocco Cluv album. The other duos include Christopher Just and Tomoe Shinohara (Kodocha), Franck Muller and Erika Asakura, Paolo Scotti and the female idol group AKB48's Miho Miyazaki, DJ Scotch Egg and Nakano Fujoshi Sisters' Chiaki Kyan, Bymski and Yumi Sugimoto, Electrocute and Marin Nishitani, Plastic Operator and Mao Miyaji, Maho Thaidisco and AKB48's Tomomi Kasai (ICE), Sexy-Synthesizer and former Idoling!!! member Mira Takiguchi, Pan Pacific Playa and Sayaka Isoyama (Chouseishin GranSazer), Kazuo Gondayama (a.k.a. Cherryboy Function) and Mina Fukui.



The album's 26 tracks range from the earliest magical girl theme songs like Mahōtsukai Sally to recent hits such as Zettai Karen Children's "Over the Future." In between are songs from Cutie Honey, Urusei Yatsura, Magical Princess Minky Momo, Kiki's Delivery Service, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, and Zero no Tsukaima. The album will ship on October 7.

I'll be excited to hear it no matter what. But you know the Sailor Moon cover will be the opening theme or something just as obvious. So far that and Otome no Policy seem to be the big cover songs. Still, reviving old anime songs is never a bad thing in my book.



And although it doesn't say Evangelion you know the song that it seems like everyone has song will be on this album somewhere.

^ Yeah, probably just Moonlight Densetsu... But if they did a rock cover of something like Tuxedo Mirage or one of the insert songs, it would kick ass.



I don't think anything from Eva will be on here since it is a Magical Girl themed collection... But that would be fine by me since there are like 20,000 covers of Zankoku na Tenshi no These anyway.

Yeah I didn't notice the magical girl theme at first. But I dunno, Japan is sneaky. I have seen Karaoke tv programs with a "Girls Anime" theme and they suddenly through in Eva because everyone will know it.



I suppose a remix version of Moonlight Densetsu like the para para version would be neat done rock-style. It'll be fun to listen to no matter what comes out. And probably not as scarring as listening to the punk rock songs covered by squeaky anime actresses.

I can only hope this means Kago will eventually find her way over to the nineteenth season of Flavor of Love.

They'd have to get her a translator somehow because her English isn't very good (probably better than my Japanese though).
