I still haven't announced the songs we'll be reviewing for May, so hang tight. This whole unpacking business is taking much longer than expected since I'm nine months pregnant already o.O My internet access is pretty limited so look out for the next update on Sunday.

Check out some new reviews for this month by me and Ilse!

If you've sent me any e-mail in the past week, I haven't gotten it. My e-mail is all done through my usual computer which I don't have access to, so I haven't been able to check it. Sorry guys, hang in there!

Please welcome Erica as our newest reviewer here at Ballads & Bows!

Also, check out new reviews by Ephie. Great work as always!

Just a reminder to those of you who haven't submitted all of your reviews for the month: you have just 4 days left of the month to finish up, so get cracking!

April reviews will go live on the 1st and some should auto-post, but please be aware that as I am moving on the 1st, I will not be able to get everyone's reviews online as soon as they're finished. Please forgive the lag as the first week or so of April is going to be super hectic for me.

Thank you everyone for your hard work this month, I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff in April!

Please welcome back Shine Aqua Illusion to our list of affiliates! It's a great website with tons of PGSM music downloads and lyrics translations. Check it out if you haven't already!

Also, please welcome Moonfire as our newest reviewer. =)

Be sure to read our latest reviews, done by Jess, Sakura, Moonfire, and Aruba ^___^ Great job, keep it up!

I'd just like to remind everyone that they still have 11 days to finish up all of the March review songs if they haven't already.

In the meantime, have a great day, and enjoy the site!

Please welcome Aruba as our newest reviewer here at Ballads & Bows!

I'll be adding in more lyrics translations and such over the next couple of days, and will hopefully be activating the April reviews a bit earlier as I'll be moving later on this month / early April and probably won't have time to do the site updates while that's going on.

I've finally hit month eight of pregnancy, I guess that means I'm in the home stretch. So please forgive me if updates and such are a little slow around here because really, sitting still for long periods of time has been very uncomfortable, lol.

Anyway, enough of my grumbling. Be sure to check out new reviews posted by Sakura and Ilse! Great work girls! Keep it up. =)

Hey there everyone! If you haven't begun to write any reviews yet, I just thought I'd remind everyone that today the site is officially open, and that for reviewers this means that all of our "current" reviews are due no later than April 1st.

Enjoy the site, and have a great month everyone!

Please welcome Moonstar as our latest reviewer!

Also, check out some new reviews by Nickole. =)

Hey there! Please welcome our newest reviewer, Jess, who was part of the original Ballads and Bows staff. Welcome back!

Also, since my last post we've had 15 new reviews submitted! Wow! Keep up the great work guys!

Iron Mouse has submitted her review of her favorite Sera Myu song, Knockin' Down Hesitation. Check it out!

In the meantime, I've been busy translating more Sera Myu music. Wish me luck! I'll let you know when I've got another album translated online.

edit: I can't believe I needed to install the anti-spam bot on the forums already. Annoying.

edit 2: Please welcome Neo Nobility to our list of affiliates! Icera's site kicks butt. =)

Please welcome Emochan and Ilse, two (new) reviewers from our old B&B staff!

There are also a few new reviews online so check those out as well.

And if you haven't already, please join the forums! They're rather lonely at the moment. =(

Edit: Please welcome Moonlit Stars, our newest affiliate! 

First off, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope everyone gets some flowers or chocolates or whatever. =)

Today I'd like to welcome our newest affiliate, Senshi Card Mania! R. Mousie is a great webmistress and her website is absolutely AWESOME. And I have to admit, I've been pondering joining this place for a while. So check out the TCG and maybe even join!

Also, some random stuff: Iron Mouse has updated her review of "I am Sailormoon" to include Placement, which even I had no idea about. As it turns out, "I am Sailormoon" was featured in one of the "specials" to the Sailor Moon R movie! Thank you for this information, Mousie!

We've got two new reviewers, please welcome back Nickole and Emochan who were part of our original reviewing team. Our staff page keeps growing and growing...good!

That's all for today. If you haven't already, please join our forums! It's awfully lonely there, guyz. =(

It seems like I'm updating every day. Oh wait, I practically am! ^_^

Just in time for Valentine's Day tomorrow, the new Ballads & Bows  forum is online! Please register today and start chatting with other members.

We also have a new affiliate. Please welcome kirari-pgsm.net! Kali is a great webmistress and her site has *tons* of information about Pretty Guardian Sailormoon. Be sure to check it out.

Seems like that's all for today. Have a good one, everyone. =)

It's only been a few days since our re-opening, but already we have four new affiliates and tons of new reviewers! I'm so excited for this project to grow and grow. =)

In the meantime, we have tons of new reviews up by Iron Mouse, La Bunny, and Miri-chan. Check 'em out!

Also, Iron Mouse has submitted our first new staff favorites review. Check that out as well!

The "next month" section is finally online, so you can get a sneak preview of what we'll be doing next month. Reviewers, you can add your reviews for these songs already if you'd like by doing your normal control panel thing and setting the article to "postponed". There is more information on how to do this in the "WRITE YOURS" section. =)

Have a good one everyone, and keep the reviews coming!

Hello there, and welcome to Ballads & Bows! After two long years of hiatus we're finally back and open to new staff! If this is your first time visiting B & B, please take your time and have a look around. If not, all the pages might be worth another once over since so many things have changed.

I am looking forward to accepting new affiliates and reviewing staff, so if you think you might be interested in either of those please go to the relavant pages. If I have sent you an e-mail requesting affiliation, you can simply drop a comment here letting me know of your decision one way or another.

This site won't officially begin reviews until March (because our staff right now is woefully small!) but until then you can get a sneak preview of some of the reviews that have already been done by our new staff members.

Enjoy the site, and have a great day!
