Yuuki Aoi Says "хорошо!" and Listens to Sound Horizon

From Yuuki Aoi's blog today

Harasho！

Babaribarisshu, everyone!
Recently, I've been renewing my enthusiasm for Sound Horizon, listening to Moira,
So I keep saying "harasho" -- "great." Harasho!
It's an unprecedented harasho boom (*^-^*)

notes:
-- "harasho" (хорошо) is Russian for "good." The word has been popularized in Japan by the musical group Sound Horizon
-- Sound Horizon began as a doujin music group and creates mixtures of music, story and sometimes spectacle, in an eclectic mix of styles
-- here is an example, a live performance of a number from their 2008 album Moira:




-- Wikipedia describes their work well: "...an album contains multiple stories with different themes that create one long story.... ...narration is not restrained. Strong anime influences...they have started inviting seiyuu for narration since their major debut. Their lyrics are very often mysterious and metaphorical, even more so than those of other J-rock musicians, with themes varying from...ancient curse, legend, dreams, war, and paradise to forbidden lust, longing, obsession, crime, relationships, etc."
-- seiyuu who have performed with them include Ohtsuka Akio, Yukana, Inoue Marina, Wakamoto Norio, Noto Mamiko, and Tamura Yukari, among many others.

More of their music can be found by searching YouTube for "Sound Horizon".
