Reborn!

Reborn!, known in Japan as Katekyō Hitman Reborn! (Japanese: 家庭教師ヒットマンリボーン!, Hepburn: Katekyō Hittoman Ribōn!, Katekyō, a portmanteau of Katei Kyōshi, means "home tutor"), is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Akira Amano. The manga is about a young boy, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who discovers that he is next in line to become boss of the Vongola family, a powerful Mafia organization. The Vongolas' most powerful hitman, a gun-toting infant named Reborn, is sent to teach Tsuna how to be a boss.

The manga's chapters were serialized in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from May 2004 to November 2012 and have been published in forty-two tankōbon volumes. An anime adaptation of the series by Artland aired on TV Tokyo from October 7, 2006 to September 25, 2010. Viz Media licensed the manga and the television series for an English-language release. A number of video games, light novels, and other products were also created based on the series.

Reborn! is one of the best-selling Weekly Shōnen Jump manga, with several volumes top sellers in Japan. Reviewers praised its humor, storylines, fights and the infant characters' design. However, they said it grew more violent after volume eight, becoming a typical shōnen series.

Background

In regards to the album's sound, singer Chris Taylor Brown states: “This record is really a new sound for Trapt. With ‘Reborn’ we really wanted to use new sounds and textures as well as experiment with delays, reverbs, synths and many other techniques we have learned over the years or have heard in our influences. Lyrically, this album is as deep and thoughtful as any album that Trapt has done in the past.”

Reborn (Manafest album)

Reborn is the eighth studio album by the Christian rapper Manafest. It was independently released on October 2, 2015. The album was distributed by The Fuel Music. The release was fan-funded through a PledgeMusic campaign and is Manafest's first fully independent album in over a decade.

According to Manafest, the album is titled Reborn because it speaks to the "rebirthing" of his personal status of becoming an independent artist again, as well as the fact he decided to use the album to retrace his hip-hop origins and roots.

Background

In the later half of 2014, Manafest released the single "Let Go", featuring Dave Stovall. The song was later pulled from iTunes, but remained in Manafest's store.

On April 24, 2015, Manafest announced a new PledgeMusic campaign for his next full-length, fully independent album, Reborn. He stated the album was to be more hip hop-inspired in its sound and return to his roots of straighter hip hop. The record is to be released in October, 2015 with 5% of the money raised by the project going to the Epilepsy Foundation to support awareness for the condition.
