Ninjago Monday

Hello!!

 Now, I would normally just do this post as a Music Monday post, but I've decided to include my favourite topic in this - Ninjago. So, you'll be getting an extra special post today - A Ninjago Monday! :D

 So, how many of you know what Ninjago is? :) None? A few? Everyone?

 Well, it's totally fine with me if you don't know what Ninjago is. It's disappointing, sure, but if there's a reason I'm alive, it's to tell people about Ninjago. :P Well, maybe it's not the only reason that I'm alive, but I'm sure you get my drift. ;P (They don't call me the Nerd of Ninjago for nothing...)

 Ninjago is a LEGO theme about five Ninja (Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Jay and Zane) who have elemental powers. They are Masters of Spinjitzu, and are often running around, fighting off villains, having fun and being generally awesome. :P
 The theme came out on 14th January, 2011. It also had a few pilot episodes come out on Cartoon Network in December, 2011. They were a huge hit, and the Ninjago TV series has continued on ever since. Ninjago celebrated it's 4th birthday this year.

Ever since then, thousands of people (between the age of 6 and 30) have been watching the TV series and using the LEGO sets. The majority of it's fans tend to be between 13-19.

Due to the fact that it has been such a popular theme, Ninjago has continued on for longer than most themes, and is even getting it's own movies, the first of which comes out on the 26th of October, 2016, and the second sometime in 2018. Therefore we can expect the theme to continue into late 2018 into early 2019 - possibly into 2020, if we're lucky.

There are two groups of people who make music for the Ninjago TV series - The Fold and Jay Vincent (the latter working alongside with Micheal Kramer).

 The Fold is well known for making various rock songs for the theme, with "The Weekend Whip" being known as the theme song for the TV series. They have worked with series since 2011, when the pilot episodes came out. Since then they have made an array of Ninjago songs, a lot of which don't appear in the series, and are just exclusive songs for the fans to listen to. Their most recent one is "21st Century Ninja".
 
 Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer are responsible for the more classical side of the Ninjago music. Just like The Fold, they have been working with the series since 2011. I don't know what their most up to date song is, but you can find their most recently up loaded song on Soundcloud: Zane's Resurrection

 And now we come to the "Music Monday" part, where I give you one of my favourite songs. :P

 Today, I'll give you two - and maybe a few names as well. X3 And, as you know, It's going to be Ninjago related!! :D Yay!! ^~^

First up is... 21st Century Ninja!!! It's my favourite song today, and probably will be for the next month or so, considering how excited I've been about this song. X3

 Take a minute to listen through it. :3 You will get hooked. I promise. >:3 :P

 Next up is 'Storming the Tower' by Jay Vincent. This is my favourite classical Ninjago song!!! It's so epic, and... and... well, you'll get the idea when you listen to it. ;) :P

Isn't it awesome??? :D

 Another of my favourite songs is "The Anacondrai Remix Weekend Whip", which you can find if you spin over to The Fold's youtube page. ;D It's totally worth listening to!

Here are some useful Ninjago links for you!

Spinj's LEGO Blog (It's mainly about LEGO in general, but trust me, there will be a lot of Ninjago related stuff on there... )

I also highly recommend following +Jurassic Gem Castady, AKA "Ninjago's 1# News Reporter". She somehow knows everything that's happening Ninjago-wise before anyone else, and she's an awesome person!

 OK, I'll have to stop now, I can go on about this subject for a long, long time, and my Dinner will be ready any second now. I hope you now have a slight interest in Ninjago!

As always, rock on!!!
