"Swear to..." by Oz Vessalius (voice actor : Jyunko Minagawa 皆川純子)

Lyrics

The clock's hand is noisy
and begins bending towards 0 a.m.

I feel like I can hear the footsteps
of the darkness that lurks in the inner part of the mirror.

Before I know it,
a fragment of loneliness, that was supposed to be extinguished,
closes up before my eyes and sneers at me.

Things to lose, I thought I had none of those.
I was going to get accustomed to loneliness, but
if I'm necessary to you, then
I'll definitely never leave you alone.

l swear to you.
Forever close to you.

Every day was blank, and in my warped smiling face
there were even tears, that stayed there unshed.

When I was like that, you murmured to me,
"Crying is not something to be ashamed of."

By turning myself into something so humble,
what did I think I was protecting? I'm a clown lost in a forest of confusion.

When I told you, "There are no things to believe in, anywhere"
I hurt you, didn't I?
I will keep on protecting you,
who showed me that there are things that will stay unchanged.

Averting my eyes, plugging my ears,
I was running inside a dream.
I wished for a reason to exist in this place.

"I want to be loved", I didn't even notice I had such a wish.
I was going to get accustomed to loneliness, but
if I'm necessary to you, then
I will keep on protecting you.

I swear to you.
Forever close to you.

Setsubun

2012-02-04T17:58:00.001+09:00

Yesterday was Setsubun.
I ate beans in the number of age.
These are soy beans.

This hand is my father's hand. ↓↓

Setsubun (節分, Bean-Throwing Festival or Bean-Throwing Ceremony) is the day before the beginning of Spring in Japan. The name literally means "seasonal division", but usually the term refers to the Spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun (立春) celebrated yearly on February 3 as part of the Spring Festival (春祭, haru matsuri). In its association with the Lunar New Year, Spring Setsubun can be and was previously thought of as a sort of New Year's Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come. This special ritual is called mamemaki (豆撒き) (literally "bean throwing"). Setsubun has its origins in tsuina (追儺), a Chinese custom introduced to Japan in the eighth century.

"Futari no Harmony" by Soma Asman Kadar & Agni (voice actor : Shinnosuke Tachibana & Hiroki Yasumoto 立花慎之介 & 安本洋貴)

Lyrics

"Good day to you. I am Agni"

"I'm the king's 26th son, Soma Asman Kadar."

"With this right hand of mine from God, allow me to hold a mic,
and sing this song for my master Soma right now."

"I...I really enjoy new challenges
I'll sing for my magnificent butler, Agni."

From an extremely tainted past,
a past of countless sins through injuring others...
From a lonesome past,
a past of being left alone in a vast world...

Then the two of us meet, ah light,
(The two of us, like two miraculous rays of light,)
and we melt and fuse by means of our blazing gazes.
All of your sins will be forgiven,
(Let's start flying from this solitude)
so let's start flying towards the end boundary of all.
(towards the end boundary of all.)

You're everything. The harmony of the two of us
has such a graceful sound, just like a flowing river.
Our fate is to get close to each other,
like how the lonely sun and the foolish moonlight converge

At some point, I saw a dream and a shooting star,
which reminded me of the beginning of a new life,
as the smile connecting the two of us glittered.

Until that day, I didn't believe in a single thing
--I had abandoned everything.
Until that day, everyone only cared about returning favors,
but as soon as they did they immediately disappeared.

On a flight of love and courage for just the two of us,
(Ah, on a flight for just the two of us,)
while we are being caressed by the gentle wind,
even our miseries and mistakes
(our anguishes melt and mix together,)
will start to flow away.
(and then even all our mistakes start to flow away.)

When one and another mingle, they create a spice
that can extract bitterness, deliciousness, and thickness.
It is an eternity where even the spoiled wind
and the timid cloud can embrace each other.

With a lullaby of a mysterious hidden flavor,
and a drop of tear that glitters with a flash of light,
our hearts unite into a rainbow of seven colors.

You're in my heart. The rhapsody of the two of us
is like a setting sun floating in a tender evening,
in an instant moment where the anxious stars
and the agonizing earth attract each other.

You're everything. The harmony of the two of us
has a warm future, just like a daytime moon.
Let's believe in each other, offer our prayers, and stay together.

I bought a stuffed toy. It is white cheburashka. It is soft and warm. This price was 2415 yen.
Cheburashka is unidentifiable. Cheburashka is all alone in the world. But Cheburashka is always looking for an identity. So Cheburashka is my very favorite character.
Tonight I sleep hugging it.

Today is the end of this year.

There were a variety of events this year. In Japan, there was the earthquake and tsunami in March 11. I also experienced a major earthquake at that time. It is one of the most big earthquake I have ever experienced. In my place, the damage of the earthquake was small. However, many people living in the Northeast, lost family. Many people died in the earthquake and tsunami. And nuclear power plant accident happened. Many people living in Fukushima lost a place to live by this accident.
And I lost a grandmother in May. My grandmother died of the disease.
Sadness does not disappear immediately. But that should not grieve long. Should anyone want to smile.

So next year I hope to be a good year.
I wish you a Happy New Year!

Cheburashka

2011-12-30T02:27:00.002+09:00

Today I saw "Cheburashka" on TV.

Cheburashka is cute!!! Cheburashka is kawaii!!!

I love Cheburashka!!!

Cheburashka (Russian: Чебурашка (help·info)), also known as Topple in earlier English translations, is a character in children's literature, from a 1966 story by the Russian writer Eduard Uspensky. In Estonian the character is called Potsataja. He is also the protagonist (voiced by Klara Rumyanova) of the stop-motion animated films by Roman Kachanov (Soyuzmultfilm studio), the first film of which was made in 1969.

Story
According to the story, Cheburashka is a funny little creature, unknown to science, who lives in the tropical forest. He accidentally gets into a crate of oranges, eats his fill, and falls asleep. The crate is eventually delivered to a grocery store in an unnamed Russian city (by some facts it may be Moscow) where the rest of the main story unfolds. Cheburashka is a name given to the character by the puzzled store manager who finds the creature in the crate when he opens it. The salesman takes the animal out and sits him on the table, but his paws are numb after the long time spent in the crate, and he tumbles down ("cheburakhnulsya" (чебурахнулся), a Russian colloquialism, "tumbled" in English) from the table onto the chair and then from the chair, where he could not sit, for the same reason, onto the floor. The store manager, who witnesses the scene, called him Cheburashka. Words with this root were archaic in Russian; Uspensky gave them a new lease on life. (The Explanatory Dictionary of the Live Great Russian language of Vladimir Dahl gives the meaning of "cheburashka" as another name for the roly-poly toy.)

Blood+, pronounced as "Blood Plus", is an anime series produced by Production I.G and Aniplex and directed by Junichi Fujisaku. The series premiered in Japan on Sony's anime satellite channel, Animax, as well as on terrestrial networks such as MBS, TBS, and RKB on October 8, 2005. The final episode aired on September 23, 2006. Blood+ is licensed for international distribution in several regions through Sony Pictures' international arm, Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI).

Blood+ was inspired by the 2000 anime film Blood: The Last Vampire; however, there are only a few allusions and basic elements from the film. Fujisaku has been involved with both works, including acting as the director for Blood+ and writing the novelization of Blood: The Last Vampire.

Plot
Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic, amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya’s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiropteran, learning that she is the only one who can defeat them.

I ate "Kappa Ebisen" today.

This is a Japanese snack. I ate was a mayonnaise taste. It was tasty and crunchy.

Kappa Ebisen (かっぱえびせん) is a Japanese snack food produced by Calbee of Japan. It is a crunchy, shrimp-flavored snack resembling french fries that is very popular in Japan.

The primary ingredients of Kappa Ebisen are wheat flour, vegetable oil, starch, shrimp, sugar, salt, baking powder, amino acid and sweetening.

History
Kappa Ebisen was first sold in 1964 and has gained wide popularity among Japanese consumers as a snack food.

In 1966, Calbee began exporting Kappa Ebisen to Hawaii and Southeast Asia. It is now sold in dozens of countries worldwide.

There are different flavors of Kappa Ebisen, such as curry flavor, available in Japan and a few other countries.

A similar product known as Saewoo Ggang (새우깡) has been produced by Nongshim of South Korea since 1971. It is not licensed by Calbee.

"White Love" by SPEED

Lyrics(English)

*Take me with you to that endless place
Beyond the clouds
Hold my hand and don’t let go

White love falls from the midwinter stars
And lies thick within my heart
Touching it and turning into tears
I feel stronger whenever we use
Our nicknames for each other
Even when we’re apart we’ll always be as one

I’ll make you mine more…completely…forever
On nights you don’t call, I try to hide it
But the truth is I miss you…

Like the endless light from a star
I want to wrap you up in all of my heart’s love
The angels brought us together
Our love will soar into the sky
And continue to shine forever

Illumination spreads through the window
Clouded by a cold sigh
I feel so happy and nervous about tomorrow I could cry
I hope that you’ll sign my new notebook
All over with your initials…
I can go on because we promised to see each other again

When snow melts and spring is about to begin
I want to be your peace of mind
Like sunlight through the leaves

Like the endless life of a star
No matter how hard it gets
I’ll always love you
I pray my happiness now won’t vanish
Someday like the fleeting snow

“I love you…Hold me and never let go…”

(Repeat*)

The angels brought us together
We were destined to meet
Please watch over us god
I’ll protect this newborn love
For all eternity
-I want to dedicate my life to you-
