Kimi=Hana, by Pigstar

Setelah sekian lama berkeliaran,, baru kali ini nyasar cukup jauh.
well,, let's say there's always the first time for everything.

never once i dreamed to be a Yaoi fans, nor watching or reading it. but then, i stumbled to one of this gem, an Anime called Sekaiichi Hatsukoi. i love the plot, but i hate the manga. it's too.. kimochi warui. I prefer watching the anime so much better.
and then when looking for the ost, i stumbled to another kind of this 'genre'. it's actually the OST of Junjou Romantica, but honestly i feel that this song is more suited to be Sekaiichi Hatsukoi OST.

Kimi=Hana, by Pigstar (the translation)

Don't let go of that hand, don't let go
Because I'm right next to you
No matter when, just laugh, laugh
And make the flowers bloom

The flower you love so much blossomed
The flower with small thorns blossomed, just this morning
I guess it means to protect itself with those thorns
It's a flower that only acts strong, quite like you

The more I see of your kindness, the sadder I get
Ever since I realized it's the warmth left by the tears you've shed

I want to see you, want to see you
If it's lonelier the more we are together
Then let's simply hold hands until it's not lonely anymore
Don't let go of that hand, don't let go
Because I'm right next to you
No matter when, just laugh, laugh
And make the flowers bloom

If some distant star makes you smile
Then just looking at the sky makes me happy

The reason I now find the simplest things dear to me
Is because the flower known as you has blossomed in my heart

I want to see you, want to see you
If it's lonelier the more we are together
Then let's simply hold hands until it's not lonely anymore
Don't let go of that hand, don't let go
I'm right next to you
No matter when, I'll laugh and cry for you
So stay by my side

If it's not watered, it'll wither
With such small thorns, it's impossible to protect anything
It really is just acting strong, the flower
Please don't be hurt by those thorns, and don't cry so

I won't let go of that hand, I won't let go
If it's lonelier the more we are together
Then let's simply hold hands until it's not lonely anymore
Even if my hand is hurt by the small thorns.


well,, all credit goes to animelyrics for the lyric.

Mushishi Zoku Shou Brief Review

Waw,,
been so long since i wrote here.
hope my fingers has not dull yet.. but yappari.. it's kinda lil weird.

anyway,,
i've been wandering in Anime1 lately, and found a couple of very interesting anime.
one of them, the new release of Mushishi series : Mushishi Zoku Shou.
it only has 10 episodes though,, at first i didn't believe it to be just that short, and then i found out that they'll be making the second season of Mushishi Zoku Shou.

for me, Mushishi Zoku Shou is not an average anime. i mean, slow paced, no hardcore action whatsoever, just.. an adventure. about a Mushishi who's been helping others, human and Mushi, through his journey.
or maybe i have fell for Ginko san? damn.
like one of the girl he helped once said, "you're not half bad looking" and Ginko just "eh?.." haha.. lol

one of the most touching episode is "Hi Teru Ame", or in english, "Cloudless Rain".
it's about a girl who's interacted with a rain mushi, or water-type Mushi when she was a child.
since then, the rain has been pouring down wherever she goes. before realizing she has 'it', the rain already ruined her village and killed one of the villagers.
when her parents doesn't have enough food to feed their family, they sent her to other village. and then, so come the rain. she overheard her uncle said that maybe she's the one bringing the rain.
being hurt, she ran to her village. when she get there, she found out that the village already going back to normal. she was so happy, but as she move a step forward to her village,, the rain comes.
so, instead of going home, she wandered, alone, going to places where rain was needed, stay there until the rain comes, and wandered again.


when she met Ginko san, she was told that there's no cure.the only way to break free from the Mushi is to wait for the Mushi's life span to run out. but, Ginko san can't predicted when it'll happen. eventhough Ginko san said it's getting near because it took more time for the mushi to create the rain around her.
the other thing is, the Mushi has taken control of her body pressure, so she never sweat nor shed a tear. so, eventhough she felt like crying, she can't.


at last, when the girl blamed herself for the lives she took (because of the rain), Ginko san said,

"You will have to shoulder the burden of those lives.  But you were not at fault, and neither were the Amefurashi.  It was just an unfortunate twist of fate.  Still - you've figured out a relatively good way to coexist with the Amefurashi.  It isn't all bad."

and so.. the girl left her village, leaving a man who's already asking her to marry him, and wandered alone, pouring rain to those who need it. just like Ginko, i guess. traveling around while helping others. if i'm not mistaken, Ginko too, can't stay in one place for long, or he will attracted the mushi, and causing troubles for him and the people around him.

damn, you should just see the series for yourself.
all of them, all 10, are an epic deep episodes that shows fear, hate, hope, and love. they're just.. deep.

Ginko, Mushishi

The girl who can't shed a tear

can't wait for the second season to come. awesome.
and oh! almost forgot,, the opening song.. just.. arrggh.. words can't express it.
first time hearing it, it brought me memories of how i feel when i watched mushishi before. check it here, Lucy Rose - Shiver.

Guidelines on How to Shake Hand by Dean Winchester.

it's really helpful for those coming for an interview i guess.
well, at least for me,, when you just,, you know.. casually shake hands with your interviewer without showing any kind of you know.. enthusiasm,, puff... it's gone. your chance has flying in the air... flying somewhere,, far.. far away.
but that's for me of course, if i'm the interviewer. LOL.

so.
this one,  according to Dean Winchester, is wrong.

you can see his disagreement on his face.
 

the exact expression i'd made too, of course. haha.

so here's the guidelines, when you are going to shake hands. by Dean Winchester.

you're gonna be a man, you'll learn to shake like one. Ok?

so, give me your best come full grip. Good.

now look me straight in the eye and let me know that you mean business.

shake as hard as you can. that's it.

you shake like that, you'll be alright

haha..
so everyone,, say,, "Thank you, Dean!!"
hahahaha

alright,, that's it, folks!

have a nice day!!! :D

Things I learn from Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl)

hm.
some people think that i have a little bit twisted taste for movies. anime too.
yes, it's true that i don't like romance movie nor anime. why? well, it's simple. they don't exist.
in real life, such kind of romance will nowhere near exist.
you can say that i'm a little bit sarcastic towards romantic genre in movies and anime.

so, my choice of movies and anime for weekend or after office hours most likely to be action, horror, thriller, psychological, even mecha genre.
for instance, Jigoku Shoujo. Hell girl.
don't ask what kind of anime that is. well, it's just,.. summarizing anime is a little bit 'hard to accept'.
LOL.

well, let me try.
basically, it's about a girl that have a job of sending people to hell.
when someone held a grudge strong enough to call the Hell Girl, then she'll come and give them a straw doll with red string tied to it. if that person really want to send other people to hell, they just have to pull the string, and the person whom they have grudge against will be taken to hell immediately. tadashi, but, when they do so, they will marked, and when they die, they'll go to hell too.

just like Enma Ai (Hell Girl) said, "when you curse someone, two holes appears." but, shinde ato de. or, "after you die".

some people take their time to think about the possibility that they have to go to hell too when they pull the string, but in the end they did pull the string. some just pull the string immediately, thinking that it's already hell, the world they're living in, and some even regret why they didn't pull the string earlier.

but there are also some, who didn't pull the string at all.

kind of nonsense, huh?
even more awkwardly and unrealistic kind of movie compared to romance?

haha. well, sou ja nai to omoimasu. i don't think so.

it's real. it's happening. err.. but without the hell girl of course.

people hatred is everywhere. sometimes it's just because the most simple thing. maybe they have a bad day of work, and when they went home some car splashing mud to their clothes, cutting their line to buy ticket, or anything. but some people got pissed easily. that's why there are murderers, thiefs, rapist, and so on.

well, actually that's where religion came in in our reality, instead of hell girl. if you have a strong faith, you're bound to be tougher and more patient in facing life, because what you're aiming is something bigger.

but something tickle me while watching Jigoku Shoujo.

tatoeba, for example, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae #23
the client have been bullied by his classmates.
Client : Why do i have to go to hell too? Aren't they the ones at fault? even though i've done nothing... curse someone and two holes are created? I don't understand! why am i the only one that's so unlucky? why?
Jigoku Shoujo : (hountou ni anata wa dare mo kizutsukete inai no?) Are you sure you haven't hurt anyone?

the truth is, his classmates got jealous of him because with his ignorance, he showed that he come from a wealthy family, such as wearing an expensive watch, having a video camera, while the one who bullied him has his own family trouble, which is they don't have enough money. and because of that, the one bullied him has to quit thinking about going to high school and had to work instead.
the client also saying that going to high school is nothing less than just a stepping stone to go to college, while the one who bullied him thinking that going to high school is a part of his dream.

and that kind of ignorance to his environment made him bullied.

well, the point is,, ki o tsukete,, what you're doing have a direct impact on your environment. :D

How much words can be expressed by a joined-captured scene?

a simple review about Gintama Final Chapter The Movie - Eternal Glory to The Odd Jobs.

awesome.

seriously, man.. awesome.
i can't even guess how it'll end. until i reach the end. damn.

after making me laugh, they start making me weep and then later on i found myself already throwing tissues to the bin, and then just craving for more tissue, and still at the end, they make me laugh even while i'm still weeping.

maybe you find me exaggerating a lil bit, but hey,, i've been watching them since ep#1 through ep#252 and the kintoki series, the benizakura movie and now, this?
you can't expect me to have a shallow-easily-broken-bond with them, can you?

just like Benizakura Movie, this one is a heart breaking movie.
instead of doing silly things like their daily routine, the movie shows that even a Sakata Gintoki might have a breakdown and yeah,, become serious.

i'd rather not spoiled the plot of the movie here,, even so, you still can find it anywhere. but i prefer you to watched it by yourself. :D
what i'm gonna tell you, that, if you give your best to other, they will give you their best too, even when you didn't ask them to. even when you said you don't need it.
when you give your best to other, even in your desperate time, it's foolish to think that you're alone.
because you're not.

Hideaki Soreachi,
you're awesome. thanks for bringing Yorozuya Gin san to this world.

oh, what? you're asking for the pic? oh yeah. almost forgot that one.
here you go.. since the movie is about time travelling, the left side is before the time travelling, where Sakata Gintoki is Shiroyaksa, and the right side is, Sakata Gintoki, having briefly met with Sakata Gintoki from yorozuya.
damn.

oh, by the way, they have a very cool OST when they fight, just try to find SPYAIR - Genjou Destruction. and feeell the heaat!

amazing.

oh. i guess this movie, really is the eternal glory of yorozuya.
