I'm baccck~

2010-07-21T19:22:00.000-07:00

Well actually, I've been back for a couple of days now...and have just been to lazy to blog. But then in a few more, I'll be gone again xP

If you were wondering where I went, I went to L.A. to look for my lovely oppas while they were in the country, so I could get an autograph, a picture or two...or 500, and maybe a hug. ^^ I was really hoping to see them too! But in the end...I didn't TwT The magic of J.Y.J. just eluded me the entire week... *cries*

...But I guess there's always a next time, right? ...There's always...the weekend of September 4th...where homin (Yunho and Changmin) are gonna preform...and even if Jae's not there...it'll still be amazing to see them in person xD

Okay, so I didn't come to rant about DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshiki (I'll save that for another post xD). I came to rant about my vacation~! :P

--

Day One:
...Nothing really...I arrived at my grandparents' house, my cousins came over, we played Mario Party. lol.

Day Two:
We went to the Japan Center and ate ramen for lunch, and then I dragged everyone along to the Kinokuniya bookstore. hehe. I love that place ^o^ and I think that's where I spent most of my money...even though I didn't really spend that much...

Anyways, I bought Tohoshinki's single, Stand By U, and One Piece Film: Strong World Artbook.

Tohoshinki - Stand By U

Sadly, I didn't see the Complete Set Limited Box: Tohoshinki Complete A-Side Collection + Tohoshinki Single B-Side Collection, but I did see the Tohoshinki Best Selection 2010, but I didn't have enough money to buy that and my beautiful Strong World Artbook. I was actually debating whether I should buy this, or YUI's to Mother, but since I've already decided that I was gonna buy Holidays in the Sun, I picked Stand By U xD
.

One Piece Film: Strong World Artbook, by the amazing Oda Eiichiro

It's so beautiful~ ♥ I think I neraly screamed when I saw this at the bookstore...good thing it wasn't really loud...and there wasn't really anyone around. haha. That would've been embarassing =w=

One Piece Film: Strong World Artbook without the sleve-cover-thing

So white...so clean...so beautiful...

Luffy sketches~

Haha. This one's for Inapi. Luffy is her husband after all. She needs to see this xD I still think I should take more pictures though...who should be next? Billy? ^_~

Day Three:
Went to Starbucks to use their free wi-fi...bought Bleach vol. 30, just because the ever-amazing Kaien-dono was on the front...and on most of the pages...even if it really wasn't him...and then I played some more Mario Party with my cousins...haha

Day Four:
It was my cousin's 5th birthday, so we all went out to celebrate~! We spent the day at this small little amusement park on the beach. It was really tiny, but it was really, really cute ^o^ And it was so adoreable to see him on all the little kid rides, and the bumper cars...but I had fun too~ There weren't any extreme rides, which I thought was a good thing, since I'm a chicken when it comes to those things. It was more like...rides you would find at a fair =)

But after all that walking, but feet hurt like craaazy xP

Day Five:
We went to the mall, and walked around. I bought some really cute clothes for my friend's birthday. I'm kind of jealous actually. haha xD But I got myself some more star paper (I just love that stuff. It's so addicting!), a new little charm for my phone, and one of those solar-powed toy things...what are they called...? *goes searching on google* Flip Flap Solar Powered Toys. Okay, yeah, one of those, except it was Chopper~! ♥

My new phone charm~

What it is...I don't know...I just know it's cute~! xD Why don't you tell me?
.

Solar-powered Chopper toy ^^

I had to cover up the solar panel, cause he wouldn't stop moving xP There was also a Luffy one, but I gave that one to my other friend.

Day Six:
...go home...funn... -.-

Well, there it is. It was a fun vacation, but I still wish I could have at leeaast caught a little glimpse of Jae, Junsu, and Yoochun, or at least one of them. *sigh* I guess it just wasn't time for me to meet them...but one day I will!!

Okay, I'll stop before I say anymore...or...type anymore.

My to-do List...

2010-07-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

Well...my life hasn't really been that interesting lately...I've been sick and lying on the couch the past week, watching the same recorded, dubbed episodes of Bleach over and over again on T.V. Yes, I could watch the same episode over and over again, even if it's dubbed in English, just as long as Byakuya Nii-sama is in it xD

Anyways, I didn't come to fangirl over Byakuya. That's what I did yesterday when I was playing Bleach: Flame Bringer on my DS and a young Byakuya appeared. I started running around the house, showing everyone and then sat down, mumbling to myself how cute and adoreable he was as I beat Yoruichi xP

ANYWAYS...

Haha. I get sidetracked a lot. When it comes Byakuya Nii-sama I write a lot. A lot a lot.

--

Okay, well, this is my summer's to-do list. It may be a bit late...since it's already July...but oh well... Happy first day of July~! xD

Watch:

Sunao ni Narenakute [just 3 more episodes until the end!!]
Tokyo DOGS [I've already watched the entire thing in Japanese, but I felt this need to watch a subbed version. Just 4 more episodes until I finish again xD]
Tumbling
Every single Rock Musical Bleach, from the very first to the last, with all the backstage and extras
One Piece [and hopefully catch up to where the anime is now...]

Read:

D. Gray Man [and catch up on that 100+ chapters that I haven't read yet...]
Fairy Tail
One Piece from the beginning [and right now, I'm on chapter 36 out of 590 and counting...]

Buy:

YUI - Holidays in the Sun
A Tohoshinki Album [Anything would be nice, but I really, really want that Complete Set Limited Box: Tohoshinki Complete A-Side Collection + Tohoshinki Single B-Side Collection...but it'd probably cost me at least $150...]
3HREE VOICES DVD
One Piece Strong World DVD [link] [but I highly doubt I'll get this...ever... ;w;]

Learn (on piano):

chAngE - miwa
W/This Isn't Goodbye - JYJ
Dear Friends - TRIPLANE [I started learning this a few years ago, and never finished xP]

So...you think I can do it? xP Well, throw in reading 5 books and writing an essay and reflection and there we go. That's what my summer's gonna/has been like xP Wish me luck!

がんばります～！

My Asian Boys ♥

2010-06-19T01:14:00.000-07:00

Well, I did say I was gonna post about the Asian boys to whom hold my heart (is that even the right way to say that? xP), and so I decided to do that now. Haha. I took me a long time to decide which picture of each person I was going to use, because I wanted the very, very best and most perfect picture out there, which was really, really hard to find xP Okay, I shall start (or more like continue) with my ranting now...

ウエンツ瑛士　/　Ｗｅｎｔｚ　Ｅｉｊｉ

Singer (WaT) & Actor

I just love him. He's so cute :3 And I think it's really funny how he's half American, but can't speak any English at all. I made up a nickname for him - Tapioca xD That name came from his role as Tachioka Ken in Kirakira Kenshui, and I've been calling him that since I've watched that dorama a few years ago.

小池徹平　/　Ｔｅｐｐｅｉ　Ｋｏｉｋｅ

Singer (WaT) & Actor
I think Teppei is just adoreable~ He stared in Love★Com Live Action Movie, and was in Gokusen 2, and played the cutest doctor of them all in Iryu and Iryu 2 xD
He's just so cute :3

　小栗旬　／　Ｏｇｕｒｉ　Ｓｈｕｎ

Actor
Shun-sama~!!! Well, what can I say? I just love this man ^3^ He has a great resumé, from Gokusen, to Hana Yori Dango, to 2009's Taiga dorama Tenchijin. Recently, I've been watching Tokyo DOGS, a dorama where Shun-sama stars as a police character who kicks everyones butts and has super fighting powers but no emotions xP But seriously, this man is amazing! He's been acting on screen since he was 13, and now's he's directing his own movie - Surely Someday, which will release on July 17th. Well, I just can't say it enough. I. Love. Him. And I just wanna give him a hug ♥

水嶋ヒロ　／　Ｍｉｚｕｓｈｉｍａ　Ｈｉｒｏ

Actor & Model
Well, how could he not be a model? xP He co-stars in Tokyo DOGS, as the lazy and easy-going partner that get's on Sou's (Oguri Shun) nerves. He also played a main role in Zettai Kareshi. I have a story about him actually. Well...it's not really a story...but I saw his photobook at Kinokuniya, and my first reaction was, "Hey, it's the stupid guy!" Of course, I don't mean he's stupid in any shape, form or way; that was just my nickname for his character in Tokyo DOGS xP

永山毅　／　Ｎａｇａｙａｍａ　Ｔａｋａｓｈｉ

Singer & Actor
Nayagan~!!! Or should I say Kikumaru Eiji from Tenimyu, or Hitsugaya Toushirou from Burimyu? He's been in a large number of musicals, as well as some theatrical works and doramas, but he's most famous for his roles in Tenimyu and Burimyu. I, for one, think he's so cute~ and I think he's looks a lot younger than he really is x3

伊阪達也　／　Ｔａｔｓｕｙａ　Ｉｓａｋａ

Actor
Tacchan~!! Or better known as Kurosaki Ichigo from Burimyu, as that's what he's famous for xD Well, aside from acting, singing, and dancing on stage with an orange wig on his head, he's been in a few doramas, making a guest appearence in Gokusen, and playing Akabane Reiji in a currently-airing dorama Tumbling. He's come a long way since his early days on stage as Ichigo in 2005, and I think he's become a great actor ^o^

大口兼悟　／　Ｏｈｋｕｃｈｉ　Ｋｅｎｇｏ

Actor
The evil Aizen-sama in Burimyu (yes, another one xP). But I think he's amazing. When dressed up, he looks just like Aizen, and he portrays his character really well. He's really funny though. There's one picture from one of the Bleach Musical Photobooks where it looks like he's trying to eat a keyboard xDD

유노윤호　／　Ｕ－ｋｎｏｗ　Ｙｕｎｈｏ

Singer (Tohoshinki/TVXQ/DBSK), Dancer, Actor & Model
I just think this picture of his is so cute x3 He's my third favorite of the Tohoshinki members, and is just amazing~! He's been in a small number of dramas, but still, I think it's enough to say he's an actor xP

믹키유천　／　Ｍｉｃｋｙ　Ｙｏｏｃｈｕｎ

Singer (Tohoshinki/TVXQ/DBSK), Dancer, Actor, Songwriter & Model
He's my second favorite:3 I love Micky! Just the fact that his stage name is Micky is enough to make me want to hug him xD There is actually a picture of him wearing a Micky Mouse shirt, and I was thinking of using it, but as you can see, I ended up not. What I think is really cool, is that he lived in America for a little bit and knows English almost perfectly! Like Yunho, he's only been in a small number of dramas, but he's still an actor nonetheless. He's actually going to star in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, that is going to come out in September. I'll be sure to watch it then! xD

영웅재중　／　Ｙｏｕｎｇ　Ｗｏｏｎｇ　（Ｈｅｒｏ）　Ｊａｅｊｏｏｎｇ

Singer (Tohoshinki/TVXQ/DBSK), Dancer, Actor, Songwriter & Model
My very, absolute, number one favorite of Tohoshinki~!!! I just love him, and I think he looks just adoreable in glasses, that's why I used a picture of him in them xD I just looooove his voice, both when he's singing and talking :3 And his little half-sister's just so cute xD There are pictures of the two of them and they are just adoreable!! x3 Jaejoong seems like a good older brother...I wish he was mine!!! xP
He's in a currently-airing dorama, Sunao ni Narenakute (Hard to Say I Love You) and plays the role of Doctor, who I love so much! I just want to give him a hug too~ His character just seems so sad. Well, as of episode 2...But he's the reason why I started watching the dorama. Hehe xD

--

Well, aren't they pretty? xDD I know I have more anime boys, but...but that's alright xP I guess I'm just more into the anime world :P But these guys are real - they may be harder to get to because of that, but they're real.

Anyways...that was really fun. I got to search all these pretty pictures of all these pretty Asian guys, and actually have a reason to, instead of just saving them to my computer and not really doing anything but looking at them.

Well, maybe I should be done now...I've already taken long enough, looking for pictures, picking between the best 50 xP and then writing this out. Aira is becoming quite impatient with me right now...so I'll stop typing...and maybe I should go...and sleep...it's one in the morning right now...getting closer to two... I actually woke up at noon this morning (or should I say afternoon). It was so nice being able to get 12 hours of sleep ^o^ Okay, I'll be done now.

みんなさん、おやすみ～！

Anime Loves ♥

2010-06-11T09:41:00.000-07:00

みなさん、おはようございます！
今日から夏休みですよ～　
卒業生、おめでとうございます！！オメデトウ　( ^ _ ^)∠☆PAN！
楽しい！楽しい！！楽しい！！！(≧∇≦)

So summer has finally come for me...I don't know why...but yesterday seemed like Friday to me, today feels like Saturday, and then on Sunday, I'm probably going to feel the need to wake up at 6:30 to get ready for school... I don't know...I guess it's just hard to break routine xP

Anyways, the other day, I saw Aira-chan's post on her anime crushes (which she stole from Ina-chan xD) and I thought it sound like fun...especially since I'm in love with [insert big numer here] anime guys xPPP

So...where should I start...?

Pokémon - Aaron I fell in love with him the first time I saw the 8th Pokémon movie, and I have yet to find a Pokémon guy to beat him. But isn't that Riolu adorable?? ^o^

Koko ni Iru yo! - Mutou Hinata

Thank you random manga button on onemgana.com. haha. I actually finished reading the whole series in one day xD

Tegami Bachi - Gauche Suede Gauche is amazing. Haha. I totally ship Gauche x Aria ♥ But what makes me mad is that she wasn't there when he woke up!!! And now I have to wait and wait and wait for the next chapter to come out...

Gyakuten Saiban - Miles Edgeworth Gaykuten Saiban isn't a manga or an anime...but it should be! xD
I love this guy. And he was sooo cute when he was little~! And yes, I ship Miles x Franziska ♥

Gyakuten Saiban - Klavier Gavin I just love how he says ja at the end of almost all his sentences xDD

D. Gray Man - Kanda Yuu If you forget that I thought he was a girl the first time I saw him... Haha...But I love him xD

D. Gray Man - Lavi Lavi is amazing~ ^o^ But I like him better without his bandana and with hair down.

Fire Emblem - Sothe

Yes...Fire Emblem isn't a manga or anime...well...at least this one isn't... But Sother is amazing, and he was so cute in Path of Radiance xD

Fire Emblem - Geoffrey I absolutely looooove him~! And I really want to give him a hug~ x3

Bleach - Hitsugaya Toushirou

He's so cute and adoreable!! Haha. And I love how he yells at Matsumoto
"MATSUMOTO!!" xDDD

Bleach - Shiba Kaien
Yes...he's already married...and kinda dead...but I still love him. He'd probably be an amazing older brother :3

Bleach - Kuchiki Byakuya Well..what can I say? I'm just madly in love with this man!! x3 He's just so...so...so...amazing~ Even if he doesn't seem to have emotions, and even though he was willing to kill his own sister during the Soul Society Arc, I can forgive him. I don't know...it just seems that sometimes, he just needs a hug - and I'd glady give one to him xD
He was soooo cute, and funny when he was younger. Such a short tempered teenager... haha. But I'd do anything to be able to glomp little Bya-bo ^3^

One Piece - Roronoa Zoro

I love Zoro. Not matter how stupid he is, or directionally challenged he is, or lazy he is, or how much he drinks, he's still amazing x3

One Piece - Sanji Yes...He is...a pervert....and a womanizer... but he's got a good heart (and good food! xD). And I just love his smile. It reminds me of a child's ^-^

One Piece - Trafalgar Law Trafalgar. Law. Is. Amazing.
Enough said.

One Piece - Portgas D. Ace My Onii-chan who I love more than anything and who is DEFINATELY NOT DEAD =3= Haha. I may have some sort of a brother complex for him xDD But I love love love him~! ♥ I just want to hug him and never let go x3 And one day, I hope to buy a hat just like his xD

I thought that was really, really, really fun xD I love all my fictional charcters. But I'm sad that I didn't get to put everyone on here. I just didn't want it to be too long (which it might already be), or I couldn't find a picture of them. But oh well, this is enough for now, and maybe I'll make a part 2, or one of real, asian guys xDD

Okay, I think I've already wrote enough. I'll be done now.

Oh wait! One thing! ONE PIECE STRONG WORLD DVD AND BLUE-RAY COMES OUT AUGUST 27!! But I think I've already waited long enough to watch it -.-

Okay. Now I'm really done xP

Counting Down the Days...

2010-06-08T14:30:00.000-07:00

みんなさん、こんにちは。元気か？私はいいですが、ちょっと悲しい。
学校はほとんど完成して。友達と先生たち恋しがって。

--

Well, there's my attempt to write something in Japanese. It's probably wrong, but hey, it was a try xP

Anyways, right now, I'm just counting down the days until the end of school. There's only two actually. But I really can't believe how fast this year went...As my science teacher says "it's going to feel like two seconds before you all graduate." Well...I know I have more seconds than that...

Okay, call me crazy, but I kind of don't want this school year to end just quite yet. I'm just gonna miss seeing my friends and my *coughcoolcough* teachers everyday. Some of them, I won't miss so much over the break, but others I will. I know I'll see my friends over break, but my teachers...well, that'd just be weird if I saw them... o.O To me, teachers live in their classrooms and never go out.

But maybe I'm being sentimental, and just don't want things to change...I'm like that sometimes...or a lot of the times... But you know, when shchool comes around again in two months, I'll be saying I wish break was longer... I guess that's just how I am xP

Well, right now, instead of studying for my final exams, I'm making a jar of stars and writing this... But it's for a good cause....Haha... Well, the stars is a gift for my math teacher (and I'll probably post a picture of it on dA when I'm done with it), who I think, should have won teacher of the year. And the blogging long paragraphs about nothing really important...is just for my amusement.

--

But in other news...

YUI's newest single, to Mother, came out last week. I really, really, really want to buy it!!! I've been listening to the song since April, and have been waiting for the release for what felt like forever!!! xP And it's so amazing too, cause she's traded in her guitaur for a piano. YUI is just so talented~ ^o^

I was actually going to do a cover of to Mother, where I was gonna sing and play the piano, but when I finally figured out the piano part, the pedal broke. I was so mad!!

Oh, but J.Y.J.'s (JUNSU / YUCHUN / JEJUNG) at Kyocera Dome in Osaka was a couple days ago. I've only watched on of their songs so far, but it just made me want to cry. Tohoshinki's on haitus with little hope of coming back, and now three of the members have formed their own group...

...I blame it all on SM Entertainment...

I blame it ALL.

It's their fault. The lawsuit. The hiatus. Making Jejung cry. I blame it all on SM. They've put everyone through so much pain. And not just the fans, but the boys too. This is what they the three said during their preformance a few days ago >> [link] and I think it's all really, really sad...

But enough writing about all this sadness. I think I've already read enough about it yesterday...

So....

Happy...

Happy...

Well...

Umm...

Kurosaki Masaki's (Ichigo's Mom) birthday is tomorrow (June 9th)...

So...

Well...

...

I'll go now...

Byebye~!

For What it's Worth

2010-05-19T20:46:00.000-07:00

Aira-chan has been bugging me to post something for a while now...so I've finally decided to post something (even thought I promised to have this up two days ago.... -.-). It's just a little writing I did for school, but I've just decided to share it with everyone who reads this (everyone meaning, all 1 of you who read this xDD) because I love writing (and because nothing interesting enough happens in my life for me to blog about it). So, here it is. But before you read, please look at the warning xP

Title: For What it's Worth
Fandom: None.
Prompt: #12 ~ Hurt from 25 Fluffy Fics Prompt Table
Summary: Is it worth it? Is it worth it to think of you when I want someone to sit by my side? Is it worth the effort to hope for you to be the one to give my a shoulder to cry on when my world starts falling apart?

Disclaimer: I own everything except two lines, which belong to Junsu and Jaejong from DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki (at least I think it was them...well, it was from this video [link])
Warning: extreme sappy-ness xP

For What it's Worth

I pull my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around them. From my spot on the sidewalk at the front of the school, the moon shines bright, as do that stars; but the cold is ever prevalent. As the wind picks up and blows through the trees, I feel myself shiver. It is at times like these, when I want you to come up from behind and wrap your coat around me. But I know you won't.

You never will.

So I hold myself as I shake, my poor, vain attempt to keep myself warm.

But is it worth it? Is it worth it to think of you when I want someone to sit by my side? Is it worth the effort to hope for you to be the one to give my a shoulder to cry on when my world starts falling apart?

If you were anyone else, I would say, “No, it is not.”

How long has it been, do you know?

Far too long.

Almost as many years as I have fingers. You know, I've watched you grow up; and even after all these years, I've been invisible to your eyes. To you, I have been nothing more than part of the landscape, just another person in the background. Everyday, as I walk past you, I look up and hope you would at least spare me a passing glance; but you won't even give me that.

I'm always left disappointed.

Do you notice the dark rings under my eyes?

Probably not.

I spend all my nights awake, just thinking about you; it's only when I cry myself to sleep that I finally find rest; but even then, I am plagued by the harsh reality that is mine. When I wake up hours before dawn, I find my pillow damp with tears. Are all these sleepless nights worth it?

I want to say, “No, they're all put to waste,” but I can't.

When will you realize, that when you're in a deep, peaceful sleep, I'm out under the stars thinking about you? You know, I always find myself sitting at the same spot every night, hoping that maybe one day, you will find me there.

But that's all I can do. Hope.

I've given up expecting things from you. From now on, I won't wait for you to be there to laugh with me; I won't trust you to be there to comfort me when I'm sad.

I've just been disappointed one too many times.

But what happened to 'then'? What happened to that time you took my had in yours, and led me onto the dance floor? Have you already forgotten that moment, when we held each other and swayed back and forth to the beat of the music?

I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

I know that I will remember that instant forever, even if you don't; but is it even worth remembering?

To me it is.

All this care you've given me has been nothing but false hope. In truth, I have all the reason to hate you, but I couldn't , even if I tried. At the end of the day, I can only hate myself.

Why did I have to fall in love with you?

You'd agree, wouldn't you? If you knew all this, you would think I'm pathetic; I know I do. But even so, I don't want your pity or your guilt. I want just one thing of you.

I hope that you will recognize my feelings just a little.

To save me from all the wavering emotions I'm feeling.

I rest my head on my knees. Tears are beginning to blur my vision as I feel my throat constrict. I bite my lip to silence my sobs, but then I wonder if it's even worth the effort.

You won't hear them either way.

But then I feel a warm hand grip my shoulder, and when I turn around, I find myself memorized, gazing into your eyes. Under the dim light shining from the street lamp, I can see your warms smile, and I wonder to myself, is this a dream?

I don't want to wake up in tears again.

But then you sit down besides me, and speak. “Hey, are you okay?” I feel something warm fall over my trembling frame and an arm pull me to you, and I smile.

“I will be...now...”

I lean my head on your shoulder, and as my eyes slowly begin to close, I hear you whisper one last thing to me before I am enveloped by sleep.

“Thank you for opening your heart to me"

It was all worth it after all...

Which one? TAKUYA or Kamiki Aya? Well, I know absolutely nothing about TAKUYA...but I really like Aya-san's music :3 Apparently, she's the Japanese Avril Lavigne

It's not my favorite favorite...but it's a good song.

A Busou Renkin KazukixTokiko AMV that I watched a long time ago xP
But other than that....sadness...depression...like after the person you loved died or something...

12. Which song do you prefer, #5 or #22?

Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know
You know, you know

That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

23. What is your favorite lyric from #23?
アマヤドリノトチュウ
いつまでも
こうしてはいられない
ずぶ濡れでも　かまわない
I keep running for shelter from the rain
I can’t go on like this
I don’t care if I get drenched

飛び方は　知らないよ
飛べるかもわからないよ
I want to fly well
I want to fly well

だけど　ゆくよ
I don’t know how to fly
I don’t even know if I can fly
I want to fly well
I want to fly well

But I’ll go

24. Would you recommend #24 to your friends?

何を信じたらいいのかも
わからなくてもがいて迷って
つかみたい今叶えたい
小さなこの手にたくして握りしめるの

What should I believe in?
I don’t know, struggle and get lost
I want to grasp my wishes and make them come true
I entrust them to my small hands and hold on tight

ゴメンそんなに強くないんだ
くじけそうになる時だってあるよ
たとえかすかな希望だとしても
持ち続けたいずっと
Sorry, I’m not that strong
And there are times when
I just seem to break
But if there’s just aslight piece of hope
Then I want to keep holding on to it, forever

But really, I love all the lyrics! ^3^

Uhh...if I listen to it, I could sing it and get all the words right... xP
But I know all the words to #22 :3

37. Does #28 have better lyrics or music?
I honestly don't know....I love the lyrics to this...both the original Japanese and the English version used in Jirachi Wish Maker... But Asuca-san's voice is just simply amazing...breathtaking...for a 13 year old to have such a powerful voice...Okay, it's a tie. I just love this song too much :3

38. What album is #10 from?
...THE BEST OF AQUA TIMEZ? Haha. That's where my mp3 of it came from. I actually bought the limited edition CD too! ...Well...it was the Hong Kong version...but still...

39. Will you post this as #26?
Sure...why not?

Haha. I was bored again...so I decided to do another meme xP

Anyone can copy and paste and erase my answers, 'cause that's what I did...

In other news...I got a plurk, just because the very same someone who wanted me to update my blog here wanted me to get a one...but it's fun to use!! I love looking at all the different layouts people make... xD

Okay, I'll be done now...

旅立つキミへ

旅立つキミへ...

On a Journey to You...

~~

Today is Tuesday, which means...new Bleach episode!! But this week, I wasn't only excited for the new episode (but I was totally freaking out about it all week becuase it was called 怒りの白哉！朽木家崩壊 (Byakuya's Anger! The Collapse of the Kuchiki House) and we all know that Byakuya doesn't have any emotions xP) but for the new ending song too! I always love hearing and listening to new openings/endings. They make me happy (*^▽^*)

When I looked at the title, I don't know why, but for some reason, I thought it was gonna be really pretty. And guess how it turned out to be. Really Pretty. ^o^

旅立つキミへ [Tabidatsu Kimi e; On a Journey to You] by RSP
Bleach Ending 22

In a failed attempt, I also tried to write out the lyrics, and it was really hard because...
1. I suck at dictations (even in English)
2. I suck at learning the lyrics just from listening to the song alone (even in English, let alone Japanese...)
and...
3. My Japanese is far from anything near amazing.

But I'll share them with you so you can all see how wrong I was xP

Sakura waku mada sukoshi semai sora no shita
Kimi wa yuku chiisana katta ni fumi yaki mono sete

Ima da bitatsu fumi ni
Ogaritai
Chotto dai mechime ni idata iicha (idata iicha)

Arita keno egao
Wo anata da ni
Kimi ni tsuda e yo
Mee Seechii

Arigatou iishoni waratte kurete
Arigatou iishoni na itte kurete
Daiji wo dayo (ahh)
Shimpainai yo (ahh)
Shinji temichi dake wa
Asu buri hashi rin daiyo

Sayonara doko kara hajimeru kara
Sayonara itsudate mitate dakara
Daiji wo dayo (ahh)
Hitori ja nai yo (ahh)
Kiete kuru basho wa
Itsudemo koko ni aru yo

Well, I guess I'll just have to wait until the subbed version of the new episode comes out later today...They'll have the right lyrics. They always do...I think...

Well, on a side note...

I'm sick right now...and I'm missing school right now...which means tons of homework when I get back @_@;;

But I hope I get better before Saturday or else I'll cry T^T

Hai Hai. I'll be done now.

みなさん、こんにちは！
私は、愛のメロディー♪ ですが、私を呼び出すユリコ。どうぞよろしく。

Hi everyone! My Pen Name is Ai no Melody♪ but you can just call me Yuriko.

Well, I don't have very much to say since this is my first post, but please feel free to explore my simple blog (which took me forever to figure out how to design... -.-).
Umm...I suppose I should say something about myself. Let's just hope I don't sound too conceited... ^^;;

I'm an otaku of sorts who constantly checks onemanga for updates and anxiously wait for that certain day of the week to come around when my favorite animes are released. A few of my favorite titles are ワンピース [One Piece] by Eiichiro Oda, ブリーチ [Bleach] by Tite Kubo, and 武装錬金 [Busou Renkin] by Nobuhiro Watsuki.

I also like to read/write fanfics. ^^

And I really love music (thus the name Ai no Melody♪ xP). I decided to share a few of my favorite songs with you all, so go ahead and scroll through the music widget (powered by esnips.com xD).

Well, I think that's enough about myself, but if you really want to hear more from me, feel free to take a look at my Five Random Facts About Me Video. But honestly, the only thing you'll learn from that (if anything at all) is that I blab a lot. Wait. Change that. Too. Much.

Well, I hope to hear from you all soon~! ^o^

So, until then....
