the amount of clutter in my parent's house is an eyesore, i can't live in this mess.

i'm here with ya on that, you're not alone.

i could almost barely recognize them, chiaki's face is all covered :/ this looks more refined than all their previous looks. miyako looks stunning though!

@nostalgia Thanks for informing me! I was honestly getting real conscious about what I was doing... ^^;; I fixed the original post and will be sure to do the same in the future~

Been listening to Sel'm a lot these days and felt like translating this beautiful song of theirs from Tora era. ^^ Lyrics: Sel'm (not specified from the source I found but one can probably assume it's Tora) Music: Sel'm Kanji source: rocklyric Romaji: Tsuioku kohakuiro o shita garasudama ki ni itteita yo ne? kizu o tsukenuyouni... furueru...ka yowai ushirosugata nakanaide...hosoi koe ga hibiku okubyouna migite ga afureru namida nuguu hitosashiyubi ga uruoidasu hakujou wa hidarite tsutsumu koto o kobandawa ano koro ni wa mou modorenai kara... kohakuiro BENCHI ni koshikakete komorebi o abite kuchibiru kasanete... koi ni kogare kisetsu nagare mawari mawaru toki to tomoni okubyouna migite ga afureru namida nuguu hitosashiyubi ga uruoidasu hakujou wa hidarite tsutsumu koto o kobandawa ano koro ni wa mou modorenai kara "waratte yo!" to tsuyogari "mata ne" to usu o tsuku "arigatou" kokoro kara tsuioku...setsunai... okubyouna migite ga afureru namida nuguu hitosashiyubi ga uruoidasu hakujou wa hidarite tsutsumu koto o kobandawa ano koro ni wa mou modorenai kara okubyouna... English: Reminiscence The glass bead that has gone amber You were fond of it weren’t you? So that no one would get hurt… A shivering…or a weak retreating figure Don’t cry…a thin voice echoes My cowardly right hand wipes your overflowing tears My forefinger becoming moist Heartlessness is my left hand that refused to hold you Because we can no longer go back to those days… Sitting in an amber bench Bathing in specks of sunlight, our lips overlap… Yearning for love, the flow of seasons Revolving around, along with time My cowardly right hand wipes your overflowing tears My forefinger becoming moist Heartlessness is my left hand that refused to hold you Because we can no longer go back to those days “Keep smiling!” you would say strongly, “see you again” you would lie “Thank you” from the bottom of your heart Reminiscence…is heartrending… My cowardly right hand wipes your overflowing tears My forefinger becoming moist Heartlessness is my left hand that refused to hold you Because we can no longer go back to those days Cowardly… ------------------------------ Notes: The parts written in quotations are not indicated by pronouns, but my guess is that since the song is about "reminiscence" he is recalling the words that a past lover has said to him. On another note, I feel that the words "cowardly" and "heartlessness" are emphasized heavily in the song, which expresses all too well the feelings of pain and regret involved, and the way Tora sings almost makes me cry. ------------------------------- Check for more of my translations at my lyric blog~

so many times i read the lyrics of a song and realize that some parts are sang in english (there are times when you can't tell)

Sel'm - gibberish

9GOATS BLACK OUT - Heaven

haven't been this excited for something in a while, they look greatttt!!

nice pale colors in the first one~! the preview of the battle system looks interesting so far. it's really cool that you're thinking about working more seriously with your video game project. it'd be great to see more in the future. keep it up! ^^

i've slowed down quite a bit, but i'm back and finished up @AliceParanoid's request~ 月蝕/Gesshoku 鋏/Hasami

@Original Saku @seurong thanks for the info~ i looked briefly at the wikia page earlier too. since Osamu Dazai is one of my favorite japanese writers i couldn't help but laugh when i read that the fictional character's ability is named after one of his books (and my favorite book too). it just seemed very odd and ridiculous to me. i'd say the character's obsession with suicide reflects very well with a part of Osamu Dazai's life (and not just his book No Longer Human).

i was looking at the osamu dazai tag on tumblr and this anime dude appears everywhere what the hell. apparently this anime called bungou stray dogs contains characters named after japanese novelists, what is this all about? someone enlighten me?

reading comments on the one and only UVERworld song i uploaded on youtube led me to this.

i watched the first movie for Kizumonogatari. i've been waiting so long for this!! (as has most other fans probably) this is where everything begins. how long has it been since they first announced, or implied, that a movie for Kizumonogatari would be made anyway? well, i'm not disappointed at all. they decided to include some CGI animation in it though, maybe because it's a movie, but it surprisingly works well IMO. it gives it a different feel from the anime series, which i prefer, but i'm not too bothered by it. still great animation as always. i can't wait to watch the next two parts! the second part just aired yesterday so it may be a long while yet until it gets online.

never listened to kegawa no maries much, but that's cool~

^been meaning to play that game for so long! i should get to it sometime soon~ right now i'm randomly playing Katamari Forever. i started it quite a long time ago but didn't play through the credits until recently. now i'm just trying to collect all the presents and cousins.

AvelCain, niceee! <3 I don't listen or know much of the others listed though. 1. Spiral Life - Infinity With You 2. 404NOTFOUND - Good bye LIAR 3. COHOL - 木霊 4. NoGoD - 唯一歌 5. Plastic Tree - 春咲センチメンタル 6. baroque - bug (live) 7. THE KIDDIE - 夢現ライト 8. Pixies - All Over the World 9. Boris - Korosu 10. alt of the society - 弐零、声明を放つ。 One of the many great ballads from Plastic Tree. The pv for it is so beautiful and lovely too~ I also picked alt of the society because thanks to @CAT5 they're my new favorite band now~ :]

^same, i hope the studio version sounds just as good too. i have high expectations for it.

i really like the group pic! it's fresh and calming~ satoshi/emiru looks quite like the intellect in that outfit. always knew that he was a smart person from his lyrics~

can't believe i'll be moving back with my parents tomorrow. not too happy about it but at least i'll be saving more money.

this is hella fun to read
