Ah okay, unfortunately my Japanese isn't good enough to do it without the kanji.

Do you have the kanji? All I could find was the first bit: So, uh, here's that part, if that helps at all: Ikanaide ikanaide Sou ienakatta no wa watashi no tsuyogari to iu yowasa Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara no mukougawa de anata ni waratte ite hoshii

Let’s Dance!! Lyrics: Takeuchi Sati-Four Music: ONIGAWARA The truth is, I'm definitely really interested in you What do you think of me? How things are going to progress from here My imagination has reached its limit I want to learn more and more about you Tonight, definitely That’s right, I want to know the answer Following some boring formula is no good Teachers don’t know the solution And places like schools can’t teach it But the answer is definitely somewhere in this night You can’t take that first step You hesitate, saying “Someone like me…” Saying things like “That’s pathetic” or “uncool”* You don’t really feel that way, do you?** Let’s dance!! Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing Right now!! Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right? Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!! Let’s get together now!! “Hey, sensei, won’t you teach me?” Things are going to progress from here*** Let’s break away from this boring party On the stage of the starry sky The mirrorball moon is circling round We’ll share a romantic dream tonight You trip on the first step And you end up lying down on top of the asphalt People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool” But, it’s okay if you can get up from there, right? Let’s dance!! Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing Right now!! Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right? Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!! Let’s get together now!! Society makes you dance along with it**** But there’s no one like you People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool” But, I wonder if those are really such bad things to be? Let’s dance!! Let’s clap our hands along with everyone else! Right now!! Even if you’re out of time, it’s okay, right? If you believe only in your own heart Let’s dance!!

1106 Music and Lyrics: Matsumoto Kenta Dear xx, I wonder if you’re getting used to your new life?* You’re probably worried about a lot of things, but Is there a sea over there? The sweets you like that haven't changed at all over the years Going from your usual seat to the balcony Even the sun shining on the smoke from your cigarette I’m remembering all those things vividly The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship** Looking out towards the open sea On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship Looking out towards the open sea On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too Being rocked by the waves… Far away, so far away that it's astonishing You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?*** You taught me to do that, right? That’s what you taught me…isn’t it? I started wanting to hear your voice So I did an impression of you and laughed At 4:49, the mundane scenery was transformed The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship Looking out towards the open sea On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship Looking out towards the open sea On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too Being rocked by the waves… The wind is cold and the lattice door is shaking My body is getting chilled by the draft entering through it, But without letting out even a single little sound, I’m heading towards the sea I wonder how many times I’ve been saved by pretending that everything is okay Far away, so far away that it's astonishing You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?*** So I can see if you’re out there somewhere, wave your hand… So they can see you from even where the anchor has been dropped, wave your hand… Yours truly,**** Notes: *It seems to imply that this is someone who has moved away, but it might also apply to someone that has died **Do ships make a tapping sound? I feel like this might mean a different noise, but I can’t really imagine what it would be *** I feel like I might be reading this line wrong as well ****Kenta doesn’t sing this line, but it was in the kanji and I think it ties the letter theme of the song together nicely, so I left it in 1106 Haikei atarashii seikatsu ni Narete kita tokoro deshou ka Shinpai na koto wa takusan arimasu ga Socchi ni umi wa arimasu ka?

Japanese ZORO fans have lots of $$ to throw around, I guess.

Took me a few listens to get used to the autotune, but SKY-HI x SALU is such a sexy combo. Really excited to hear the rest of the album

"Nothing is below Nicki Minaj - not even the earth's core"

Came across this on Twitter today. The fact that someone actually chose the name "Footless my sponge" for their band made me cry a little inside.

Jesus, KLOOZ's voice is so high. So weird hearing a song where SALU's voice almost sounds deep by comparison.

^I love all of those things except for VK synths, to be perfectly honest. The thing that really irritates me is when singers rhyme a word with itself. I mean, there are definitely times when it works, but I think it sounds so stupid and anticlimactic when the artist is trying to sing a serious/dramatic song. For example: God, that song used to drive me crazy every time it came on the radio.

Too much midriff for me. One guy with his belly out per look is about as much as I can take.

There's actual live footage of POT on Youtube now

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is a favourite of mine. Such drama. The fact that they kill off almost all the characters that you spend the first half of the game developing and getting to know in one swoop is pretty interesting. It's also really cool to see the support relationships you build between characters actually impacting the second half of the game.

Seems more like being an online hall monitor, tbh.

You know, aside from Kanda and Jerry's horribly mismatched voices, and the lack of super dramatic, super manly voices going "Aren Woh-kaa!!" every episode, the English dub of D.Gray-man isn't bad.

That's not even a theory at this point.

Eyeshield 21 Gantz Hunter x Hunter Detective Conan Excel Saga (The anime is nowhere near as fun as the manga. The fact that Elgala isn't in it alone is just a travesty.) Real Petshop of Horrors I love D.Gray-Man as well, but it's one of the only series that I think actually works better as an anime.

So I only listen to like 5 out of the top 20, and of those I think BUCK-TICK, Malice Mizer and Dir en Grey are the only ones I've actually listened to a significant number of releases by... I really need to get around to listening to more LUNA SEA. Shocked that Kuroyume aren't higher.
