If you haven’t guessed yet, I’m having LSS with the OP and first ED of Read or Die TV.
I really like the ED, Moments in the Sun. The song feels so carefree, relaxed.
Here are the lyrics. If I have time, I’ll try to translate these lyrics.
taisetsu ni shiteita mono ha
itsumo koboreochite yuku
demo kimi to no omoide dake ha
kono mune no oku ni tsuyokuaru
suzushiku natte kita umi
hashaideta futari no kage
kimi no sukoshi yake sugita hada to
shizunde iku yuuhi ni toketa
kono te wo zutto hanasanai mama
otona ni natte iketara ii no ni
hizashi no naka de oikaketa
kimi no sugata sagashite
koi ga owaru yokanshite
yorisotta yone
sukina kimochi ha itsudemo
setsuna sa tsurete shimau kedo
dakedo kimi ga ita bun dake
mae yori yasashiku naretan da
kimi ga nokoshita kabe no rakugaki
tokidoki yubi de nazotte miruyo
hizashi no naka de mitsuketa
futari no basho oboeteru?
ima ni mo kikoeteki souna ano waraigoe
saigo no yoru ha otagaini tada
damatta mama de senaka awaseta
hizashi no naka de oikaketa
kimi no sugata sagashite
koi ga owaru yokanshite
yorisotta yone
hizashi no naka de mitsuketa
futari no basho oboeteru?
ima ni mo kikoeteki souna ano waraigoe
futari dake no natsu no owari
oboete iru yo
I like the anime, though I do have some complaints. But I’ll probably discuss it in my main anime blog, not here.
In an update to my previous post, now I’m liking Tenshi ni Nachatta. The OST for the new Macross F movie isn’t out yet, but I’m already anticipating it. Thank God that Yoko Kanno is in charge of the music, I’ve really become a fan of hers now. Before Macross F, the only music I really liked from her was her work in Ghost in the Shell SAC. Now, the Macross F soundtrack is really up there in the list of anime music that I like.
I’m listening to pink monsoon as I write this. I haven’t warmed up to it yet though. Maybe because I haven’t anything to associate it to yet–the Macross F movie isn’t out yet.
It is possible though I’ll warm up after playing it more. I actually didn’t like Diamond Crevasse when I first heard it, so there is hope. I began to like it as I listened more to it, and my liking for it soared when I read the lyrics.
On the other hand, today I was researching electronic pianos. I want to buy one, but I’m not 100% confident it would be a good purchase. Tomorrow I’ll look at the Casio showroom, maybe do the rounds at all music shops. But I’m leaning towards the Casio brand because they’re cheaper/reasonably priced. Right now a million reasons are floating in my head why I shouldn’t buy one. Let’s see what happens in December.
For a couple of days now I’ve been listening to the songs that I missed out on these past 2 years. It was only this year that I really started listening and watching the OPs and EDs of the anime I’m watching. I have this habit of fast-forwarding if I don’t like the first few seconds of the OP/ED. And when I do get those OP/ED releases, I usually pay attention only to the particular song that was used in the OP or ED. The only exceptions being Honey and Clover (I&II), Beck, and Simoun. These 3 shows already have excellent soundtracks and it was just natural for me to listen and reminisce. For the rest, I didn’t really care that much.
This is the 1st song of the CD titled VACANCY by Kylee. This is the song used for the ED of the anime, Bounen no Xamdou. After Diamond Crevasse and Kataomoi Fighter, this is my 3rd most favorite ED. I absolutely love it. And now Kylee as an artist is now on my radar. Hope she makes it big later on.
This is the 2nd song of the CD titled VACANCY by Kylee. She reminds me a little of Avril Lavigne. As for this song, I also like it very much. It seems that this song and Plan B overshadows Vacancy itself. Thinking about it now, I like the two songs’ lyrics much more than that of Vacancy’s. My favorite part is ‘I’ll counting down the days and hours/Until the day when victory is mine’. I like the way it conveys the anticipation.
This is the 3rd song of the CD titled VACANCY by Kylee. I came across this because I also liked the song Vacancy very much. The latter is the ED to the Bounen no Xamdou anime. Going back to this song, not only is the tune great to listen to, the lyrics are also good. If I could dedicate a song to my old self of many years back, this would probably be it. Why? Sorry, but that’s a secret!
Umm, I’m ashamed that I haven’t posted anything here for 10 months. I have already listened to various anime drama CDs, countless anime OPs and EDs and yet not one post has come out. I’m struggling because not only am I pressured into writing something for my main blog, I’ve also been very busy with real life activities. Much, much busier than the past 3 years of my life. I’m not doing a lot of overtime, so it’s not because of work. It’s just that, I found other things to do than just sit in front of my PC at home, when I’m not working.
So I guess this is it for this blog’s update post. Till next?
I’ve really neglected this blog. I basically forgot about it, and although I have some post ideas, it might be a long time before I get to post them. I’m already back in my country. I have basically failed to make this blog the more serious extension of my older blog, Cute Proxy’s Anime Rants. I actually have 2 other blogs aside from this and CPAR, I must be aiming for the impossible. Oh well, since I have a lot free time in the coming months, perhaps something else will be posted in this blog. I hope.
