Lacrimosa

After listening to Lacrimosa by Kalafina, I find I must listen to more of their songs.

More info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalafina

Their voices are so beautiful. Kajiura Yuki is a great composer ♥ ♥ ♥

I am reminded of Enya, an Irish singer with a beautiful voice. I use to enjoy listening to her songs because of her voice.

Kuroshitsuji 2nd Ending


Kurayami no naka de mutsumiau zetsubou to mirai o
Kanashimi o abaku tsukiakari tsumetaku terashiteta

Kimi no kureta himitsu no shirube ni
Aoi yoru no shizukesa o yuku

Lacrimosa
Tooku kudakete kieta
Mabushii sekai o mou ichido aishitai
Hitomi no naka ni yume o kakushite
Yogoreta kokoro ni namida ga ochite kuru made

暗闇の中で睦み合う絶望と未来を
悲しみを暴く月明り冷たく照らしてた

君のくれた秘密の標に
青い夜の静けさを行く

Lacrimosa
遠く砕けて消えた
眩しい世界をもう一度愛したい
瞳の中に夢を隠して
汚れた心に涙が落ちてくるまで

Within the darkness, despair and the future are intimate with each other
The moonlight, which exposes sadness, coldly illuminated them

By the secret sign that you gave me
I go through the silence of the pale night

Lacrimosa
It shattered in the distance and vanished
I want to love the glaringly bright world once more
Hiding my dream in my eyes
Until tears fall on my sullied heart

According to some comment, lacrimosa is Latin for 'weep'. It's a beautiful word. Makes me want to go learn those Latin words to understand more about the language.

Japanese, Latin, French, Italian, Korean...I wanna learn them all...♥

Can't wait for the full song to be released! ^^

メイちゃんの執事

Not feeling any much better, but at least my throat's less sore. Still, I'm feeling a slight headache. Watching the screen is grating on my eyes.


New JDrama (and manga perhaps) to watch: Mei-chan no Shitsuji メイちゃんの執事 It's pretty interesting, and features Sato Takeru and Mizushima Hiro, plus several guys I know -- Jutta, Kato Keisuke, Takagi twins, and WTFH KEI-CHAN?!?!?! OMG I GOTTA WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!

I can recognise Kei-chan anywhere, even with diferent hairstyles. ^^

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Mei-chan_no_Shitsuji

Shitsuji = butler. I've been watching too much Kuroshitsuji, and it looks like shitsuji spells ikemen. =.= LOL.

If you're surfing tudou, here's the Chinese keywords: 我的帅管家

My eyes are giving me a headache. Instead of watching Rurouni Kenshin, I was listening to the episodes without understanding half the dialogue. My friends recommended me this anime, so, after a few years, I obliged at last.


*dark cloud of gloom*



Kami no Shizuku, or God of Wine, is based on a manga...about wine. I've read about the storyline in the newspaper, seems quite interesting, considering Kamenashi Kazuya's the lead!! ^^

Some dramas I may consider watching:

1) Kami no Shizuku -- Kame~

2) Team Batista no Eiko チーム・バチスタの栄光 -- U-kun and Zukki!!!

3) Mendol-Ikemen Idol -- seems interesting. Girls cross-dressing as male idols.

4) Here is Greenwood ここはグリーン・ウッド -- non-yaoi actually. Seems funny (and Yuuichi is there...!)

5) Akai Ito 赤い糸 -- umm...to support Tomo?

6) Nodame Cantabile のだめカンタービレ -- er...because of music?

7) Liar Game ライアーゲーム -- er...dunno? Interesting storyline?

8) Happy Boys ハッピィボーイズ / ハッピィ★ボーイズ -- I've heard of it, and with so many Tenimyu boys there...and more shitsuji...^^

Of all days, I happen to fall sick TODAY...My throat is killing me, and my nose just keeps running...

Not funny, really. My sarcasm just seems to worsen...

*bad mood*

Was emailing Yuuri, haha. Anyone else keep in contact with your Meiden no nakama?



Earlier in the day, I played SSBB and Bomberman with my cousins. I was better at fighting games, as you can see how passive I was at Bomberman trying to avoid getting killed. Star mode was fun, once you kick the com out of the way. I managed to win twice by not getting my character killed, but my luck ran out. =.=



I'm better off kicking everyone out of my way with Kirby and Meta Knight. ^^ And I miss the insane fighting -- four controllers, yes -- in Guilty Gear Izuka and Dead or Alive 3 on XBox. =D



I only managed to watch part 1 of Dream Live 5th. Iya, it's still entertaining. Fuji vs Saeki was funny ^^

Happy Lunar New Year!!! 2009

新年快乐！！！

That's my handicraft. Moo~

There's going to be a solar eclipse today. It's an omen of bad luck especially since it falls on the first day of Lunar New Year, but I just want to see it after so many years. Astronomy~

Gundam 00 s2 epi 16: I seriously don't understand politics. Even watching Gundam 00 doesn't tell me who really is at fault, who is right and who is wrong. But using terror to force people into submission, and altering video clips to make it look as if Katharon is the culprit when in fact it's Kill robots by A-Laws, now that's barbarian. Putting the blame on others for your deeds is something unforgivable, especially if it is delibarate.

Reborn 117: one word. URI!!!!!!!!!!

Skip Beat! epi 16: That green juice reminds of Inui's Vegetable juice, somehow. And the taste, according to Ren...XD

Gya~anyone who watches Prince of Tennis will arguably agree that Inui Juice is one of the most infamous item associated on set. XDDD Everytime I see some concoction with a weird colour, Inui Juice pops up first thing in my mind. Give it a name, and there you have it.

*totally bricked*

Otaku term:

Tsundere - being on the surface sharp and sarcastic (tsuntsun) but underneath lovestruck and fawning (deredere)

Somehow, I like these kind of guys, lol.

★Ciaossu★

I'm envious of people with Nintendo DS - VAMPIRE KNIGHT DS OTOME GAME!!!!! Chapter 47 of Vampire Knight is out! I'm still supporting ZeroXYuuki, because, somehow, incest doesn't work with me. Kaname best be her oniisama.

Naruto fans, please continue to support Naruto! It's become more exciting! Onegai!

I'm picking up Rurouni Kenshin since it's pretty funny de gozaru yo. XDD

業火絢爛Gouka Kenran - 立海ヤング漢Rikkai Young Kan

Mainichi ga Happy New Year

Lunar New Year is coming. Let us enjoy the festive season, no matter how bleak the present is.

Druaga no Tou ~Sword of Uruk epi 3: Melt is an IDIOT. Anyhow add random people as heroes who defeated Druaga when he himself played only a little role. And yes, betrayal and the like, this should make the plot interesting. Otherwise it'll be boring. If my memory doesn't fail me, Jil will have 3 betrayals. We already have one in the first season.

Cap to Bin has a new single called Mainichi ga Happy New Year. Translates to "Next year is a happy new year". I hope to share it as it sounds like welcoming Lunar New Year, haha.

Rikkai Young Kan is a group consisting of Kirihara, Niou, Yagyuu and Marui. I never thought I'ld hear Yagyuu sing again! ^^ The title of their single is Gouka Kenran. Don't ask me what it means.

PureBOYS [7 Dummy's Blues] - photoshoot


They try to take good Idol shots of the boys.

[] Satou is putting too much spirit into it.
[] Nagaoka is sleepy.
[] Yagami is in pain.
[] REALLY in pain.
[] Baba is too playful.
[] Please don't kill anyone, Minami.
[] Takeda is having a vision.
[] Or did he already have one!?
[] Flower petals falling all around Sakimoto...
[] So it's his responsibility to pick them up.
[] Nobody's looking at the camera.
[] They're not sitting the way Idols should.
[] Nagaoka and Satou are fighting...
[] And old man Minami is watching over them.
[] Sirius standing in for Nagaoka.
[] Takeda is about to take flight.

[] And they finally have a good shot. Chigasaki's comment: "Hm. If they don't open their mouths, no one can tell they're not the real PureBOYS."

Hiromi's comments are hilarious. XDDD And Kei-jiichan is XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Let me show you how pretty Fuji is as a girl.

=========================

I KNEW IT!!!! SebestianXCiel yaoi fics!!!!!

Right, now I'm finding NarutoXBleach crossovers. It's always Naruto dying, either killed by Akatsuki or battling Sasuke, then he goes Soul Society and trains to become a shinigami. I'll not think of a Naruto harem, but somehow, I find NarutoHP fics more exciting and sometimes more hilarious. Like Naruto becoming best friends with Peeves to wreak havoc in Hogwarts. XDDD

Tatsuya replied, after many days, with an apology. No, I won't be angry. Why would you think like that? He even said he'll cry if I'm angry.

HOW CUTE CAN THIS GUY BE?!?!?! *flails* WHO CAN GET ANGRY WHEN HE'S LIKE THAT?!?!?!

Masa 11 - 17 jan: http://maigo-no-egao.livejournal.com/101433.html

His puppy is so cute!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

I want to learn Japanese too, but since I'm too poor to afford the courses, I shall self-learn. Watching so many anime, listening to Jpop, reading manga, watching unsubbed Tenimyu and anime concerts have gradually exposed me to the language. I even curse in Japanese. Bad influence from anime. XDD Demo, mada hayai yo.

And I'll be taking my diploma mid year, and Grade 8 theory at the end of the year. All that's left is practising, and reviving my music skills currently buried since the O levels...

♥ Random ♥

When is Imperial Presence Hyoutei coming out? I finally found the subbed DL5th on tudou. Then again, I promised Shat Yin I'll give her the link for Imperial Presence Hyoutei since she loves Hyoutei so much. =) She only watched Imperial Hyoutei and DL3rd even though I kinda pestered her to watch Rikkai... But I hope there are all three, including Hyoutei A, B and the October ones with Kazuki and Takumi.

The new ending song for Kuroshitsuji is NICE! And the curry...*thinks about Japanese curry at Nagoya*

Funny how I watch Tenimyu at least twice, haha. One raw, one subbed. Then those memorable ones like Imperial Hyoutei, DL3rd, Rokkaku, Rikkai, DL4th, I must have watched them three times. I remember watching DL3rd four times because I love Seigaku and Hyoutei parody. ^^ If only it were SeiHyoRik...

Some anime updates of my life:

1) Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3 is coming out this year! Synopsis from Wikipedia

The teaser shows the Konoha 11 (with Sai) battling a huge creature where it says the will of the Hokage will be carried by the youth of Konoha and they will make sure of it. The title is supposed to be "Naruto: Shippuden The Movie 3 The Will of Fire"

Naruto Shippuuden New Arc and New Movie: 3 TRAILER



I haven't watched Naruto Shippuuden for a long time after the Gaara Rescue arc. So who's the Sanbi?

Not my problem. But anyway, Shippuuden movie 2 DVD will be out this year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto_Shipp%C5%ABden_2:_Bonds

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 2: Bonds-Trailer 2



Naruto Shippuuden Movie 2 Trailer 3 (NEW)



I always watch the movies even if I heck-care the episodes. I think NarutoSasuke pairings might rise. Haha, makes me want to read some NaruSasu fanfic, even though I'm not a shonen ai fan. *bricked*

2) Fullmetal Alchemist season 2. Yep, it's going to be out in April! I have no idea if it's similar to the manga

3) Pandora Hearts. Again, in spring. Can't wait!

4) 07 Ghosts. The graphics look nice, and so far, I haven't seen a girl appear in this story. Quite exciting if you like fantasy, and it's quite dark too.

Check out Chrome Shelled Regios too. The main character intrigues me.

manga talk

I finally have the score for Cosmos after I went back to band. ^^

Kumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga" unchanged


Spazzing over Nico Nico Douga, haha.

By the way, Otomen is a very interesting manga. A guy's perspective, he being one who likes shoujo manga, sewing, soft toys, handicrafts, cooking, cute and lovely stuff, pink...Well, according to this manga, such guys are known as "otomen". I don't think that's unmanly as long as he doesn't behave like a girl. Much as I don't like romantic stuff, I think these kind of guys can be really sweet. ^^ But it's funny to be refered as the princess. *chokes on laughter* Though it's nice to know a pure guy like the main character Asuka. ^^

Talk about reversed roles. I'm tired of reading about shy, love-struck girls getting all shy in front of the guy they like, then all those insecurities blah blah blah.

Here's another manga site, in Chinese (unfortunately): http://www.17kk.net/
Not all the manga are available, but it's pretty decent.

It's raining.

But I can't link the weather to Ai Ai Gasa. Too inappropriate.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

If the anime I want to watch aren't accessible, I'm going to Taijutsu no Ougi Sennen Goroshi their asses. Pandora Hearts, La Corda d'Oro ~Secondo Passo. Well, glad that I've new anime to watch this year plus a whole bunch of Tenimyu (Hyoutei and Shitenhouji!), maybe some JDrama here and there (if I can find them).



Taijutsu no Ougi Sennen Goroshi = Thousand Years of Pain

I'm not describing how this jutsu works. Naruto fans should know.

Nico Nico Douga medley

Whoo~ Tieria's Gundam has it's baby form! Seraphim, haha. Seravee, Seraphim...O.o

Call it anime instinct, but songs that can be heard by people miles away? Sugoi...


I visited my aunt yesterday, helping out for the whole afternoon and night. She was so frail, her face sunken. Flashbacks of my uncle and grandfather went through my mind. If I were feeling a bit more creative with my literary skills, I might just write a short description. But I've lost my narrative skills somehow -- too much fanfics, hn. And funny how one song -- more specifically Long Kiss Goodbye -- came to my mind.

That's not the point. *cough* Anyway, I'm going later. TO all O Level students getting their results today, all the best of luck!

組曲『ニコニコ動画』を元の曲で再現してみた（最終調整版）

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
The video: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ffviiac55&view=videos
The synopsis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Advent_Children

Who can't deny the amazing graphics in Final Fantasy? And Kadaj is voiced by Morikubo Shoutarou, same seiyuu as Kirihara. It's easy to hear the similarities, the evilness in the voice (Devil Akaya!) etc. ^^

Fantastic. Commendable manoeuvres with the (technogically advanced) motorbike. But I don't understand the plot -- I don't play FF7 nya. Sephiroth has a deep voice!!! Zack is cool, Vincent is hot, Reno is hilarious... and if I'm not wrong, Kingdom Hearts has similar beautiful graphics. =)

Final Fantasy VII Last Order

Speaking of piano, I just listened to Byakuya ~True Light Acoustic and Michishirube Acoustic by Miyamoto Shunichi. Let's say it got me to lift the piano covers and start practising.

I'm playing Cosmos by improvisation. Still trying to get the transition, but otherwise, it's 60% there. ^^

There aren't many good NarutoHP crossovers out there, but I managed to find a few.

The Game of Go: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2972113/1/The_Game_of_Go

Nah, non-yaoi. But imagine Naruto being labelled pretty. O.o

Sudden urge to watch Final Fantasy Advent Children or read Yami no Matsuei manga. Don't ask why.

Harry Potter fanart? http://mauo.net/harry.html

Really beautiful pictures, definitely a manga artist. I have absolutely no idea how to colour my art, so I may be searching for software to do digital art when I'm feeling up to it (since my own colouring skills suck).

Flame of Recca owari

No way, Joker died? Unforgivable!!!

I finished the manga. The ending was good, and didn't allow us to cry over it. Yeah, Kurei and Koganei went back to the past. But Joker... T.T

About as good an ending as GetBackers. ^^ I certainly had fun reading this manga. Now off to read fanfiction! *Cheshire grin*

Hana Yori Dango Korean

Neo Angelique Abyss. So colourful! ^^

First time I've ever wanted to watch a Korean drama, but I do want to catch Boys over Flowers Korean version!

Thought I'ld like to share part of my diploma research

http://fleursdumal.org/poem/142

Harmonie du soir

Voici venir les temps où vibrant sur sa tige
Chaque fleur s'évapore ainsi qu'un encensoir;
Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir;
Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige!

Chaque fleur s'évapore ainsi qu'un encensoir;
Le violon frémit comme un coeur qu'on afflige;
Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige!
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir.

Le violon frémit comme un coeur qu'on afflige,
Un coeur tendre, qui hait le néant vaste et noir!
Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir;
Le soleil s'est noyé dans son sang qui se fige.

Un coeur tendre, qui hait le néant vaste et noir,
Du passé lumineux recueille tout vestige!
Le soleil s'est noyé dans son sang qui se fige...
Ton souvenir en moi luit comme un ostensoir!

— Charles Baudelaire (the poet)

Evening Harmony

The season is at hand when swaying on its stem
Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
Sounds and perfumes turn in the evening air;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!

Every flower exhales perfume like a censer;
The violin quivers like a tormented heart;
Melancholy waltz and languid vertigo!
The sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar.

The violin quivers like a tormented heart,
A tender heart, that hates the vast, black void!
The sky is sad and beautiful like an immense altar;
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...

A tender heart that hates the vast, black void
Gathers up every shred of the luminous past!
The sun has drowned in his blood which congeals...
Your memory in me glitters like a monstrance!

So poetic...*bricked* It IS a French poem which inspired one of Debussy's Préludes

Alright, Flame of Recca is downright hilarious!!! The humour is in the right places (and wrong ones too -- some are ecchi, pervertic, and some make me want to punch the characters myself). But the random ones are the best. ^^

Ouji: http://maigo-no-egao.livejournal.com/95666.html#cutid1

Hmph, I drew a bad omikuji when I was at Asakusa. The final fortune. WTFH. Most of my friends also got things like bad fortune. Naturally I dissed it. Final fortune indeed, this year is supposed to be a good year for us 19 year olds, because our Lunar birthdays coincide with our English birthdays. I just like the coincidence, that's all.

A little inappropriate that I'm listening to SUMMER BREEZE by Masa and Ba-chon and it's currently winter season, not that our little tropical island ever experiences the four seasons.

Raiha is so pretty!!! And he's obsessed with Fuuko, gah. It's comical seeing him behaving like an idiot. But he's a cold-blooded killer when needed to be. Joker is pretty cool too. ^^

I'm waiting for more action! *bounces up and down*

I like the expressions drawn in Flame of Recca. It's hilarious!!!! Funnier than Reborn, lol.

Finally!!!! D.Grayman's lullaby

そして 坊やは 眠りについた
息衝（づ）く 灰の中の炎
ひとつ ふたつと 浮かぶ ふくらみ 愛しい横顔
大地に 垂（た）るる 幾千の夢

銀の瞳のゆらぐ夜に
生まれおちた輝くお前
幾億の年月が いくつ
祈りを 土へ 還しても

ワタシは 祈り続ける
どうか この子に 愛を
つないだ 手に キスを

ワタシは 祈り続ける
どうか この子に 愛を
つないだ 手に キスを


So the little infant fell into a deep sleep.
Among the grey ashes in the flames shining...
First one,then two ...
Surfaces numerous of your faces

A thousand dreams trickle back to the earth
On the night when the silver eyes were trembling , the shining you was born
Across millions of years,the prayers have already returned back to the earth

I will still continue to pray
Please bestow upon this child your love
Upon our joined hands, leave a gentle kiss

Sung by Kobayashi Sanae, also Allen's seiyuu. It's a nice song. ^^

Hiroki replied!!! At last! *spazzes*

He passed his entrance exam too -- I could sense the excitement in the email, haha.

おめでとう、泰輝!

I had to Ctrl C Ctrl V his name, because, somehow, I couldn't generate it. The “hi” to his name.

Apparently, Nagoya is still very cold. Compared to Singapore, which is always hot. （笑）

I can't send to Mako's email, poor girl. *broods*

I've been calling Kanesaki Kentarou 'Kane' for so long, 'Kane-chan' sounds weird. He doesn't like it when fans call him Kane-chan? Okay, got it.

Speedster of Naniwa is Oshitari Kenya!!!!!!

TeniPuri!!!! Shin Tennis no Oujisama!!! 新テニスの王子様 I just have to link this entry, especially when Konomi-sensei was present with Minagawa Junko and (ZOMG!) Suwabe Junichi. I can SEE how Atobe is so well-loved by fans, yes...*nods head*

Haha. *bricked*

+++++++++++++

Whoo, so many Flame of Recca fans like MikagamiXFuuko, or TokiyaXFuuko. ToFuu (tofu...?XD) I do like this pair actually, and RecYan (ReccaXYanagi), and a TokiyaFuukoRaiha threesome, if there are any. Both swordsmen are beautiful, haha.

What's with long-haired swordsmen and their beauty?

あけまして おめでとう

あけまして　おめでとう！！！

That's how Japanese say Happy New Year. Akemashite Omedetou!!! I asked all the tubists, haha, and Yuuri was the first to reply. ^^

People make resolutions for the new year. I make long goals to achieve in a few years, haha. ^^ BUT the few years are coming closer -- here're two for this year:

1) Pass my Diploma exam which I'll be taking mid year (and think about whether to continue to LTCL)

2) Do well for A levels *shivers*

Hakushaku to Yousei manga ^^

Crazy me, I'm just starting to read Flame of Recca manga three years after watching the anime. *conked on the head* After skipping the first few volumes. I want to read the Ura Butou Satsujin tournament part. It's the most exciting, haha.



Mikagami in the manga looks so pretty, while in the anime, he's cool. =.= Still, he's my favourite bishonen. ^^ Tell me which fangirl doesn't like bishonen or ikemen?



*immediately thinks of GetBackers* If the whole of GetBackers manga is made into an anime, it'll be ikemen and bishonen paradise comparable with Prince of Tennis.





My ass still hurts after yesterday's cycling. *winces*

Happy New Year 2009!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

Heck the countdowns, I was too sleepy to stay awake after dinner. The cycling was tiring but fun -- any further, we'ld have reached Changi from East Coast.









Needless to say, my legs barely supported me when we walked to Parkway, lol.
