White Lie by Eli Locker_Lie to Me

I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and a half,
My uncle tells a joke and I try to laugh,
In gym I fake a headache when I want to quit,
I say I love the sweater that my grandma knit.

But that's a white lie, white lie!
That's the kind you want to tell,
A white lie!
So your mom won't have to yell,
A white lie!
Everybody does it cause it feels all right,
And it's more polite,
But a lie still a lie,
Even when it's white!

I pretend I'm asleep when my dad walks in,
I said I ate my chicken but I just ate the skin,
Your face can say you're lying,
When your mouth says you're not,
Your pants are on fire but they're not to hot .

But that's a white lie, white lie!
That's the kind you want to tell,
A white lie!
So your dad won't have to yell,
A white lie!
Everybody does it cause it feels all right,
And it's more polite,
But a lie still a lie,
Even when it's white!

While it might be hard to say what's true,
Would you want a white lie told to you?

But that's a white lie, white lie!
That's the kind you want to tell,
A white lie!
So your mom won't have to yell,
A white lie!
Everybody does it cause it feels all right,
And it's more polite,
But a lie still a lie,
Even when it's white...

 the song's here.. :D

A Brief Review : Kiseijuu - Sei no Kakuritsu (Up to Ep #13)

Yay!!
Finally stumbled hard on this superb gem!! well it's been a while since i wrote, and it's also been a while since i found an Anime/Manga that's worth mentioning.

but then, here i am.
i honestly regret why i didn't followed this manga before, even when my best friend- who's not really into manga, recommended it to me.
at first because, the manga released through 1988 - 1995 (well, i don't even know whether i already born when the first series published, lol) so the drawing is quite.. 'furui'. old times.
it feels like watching Dono Kasino Indro - the old series. so, i stupidly put this beautiful gem aside.

and then, i saw this, exactly this scene in 9gag.

Kiseijuu #11

with a caption : and they say anime is for children, or something like that. haha

and it pique my interest. i mean, i've never seen the anime adaptation yet.
so i came home. downloaded all 12 Eps in 3 days (thehylia only let me download 5 per day, sigh.)

and then i watched it calmly. I mean. Calmly crying
i guess it's the first time i watched this kind of science fiction anime. i mean, mecha, magic, devil fruit and such, but nothing i guess, can be compared to Kiseijuu.
i mean, mecha did all that awesome transform-giant weapon-and aerial-even-outer-space fight, there's also magic in Magi, for example, and devil fruit in one piece, but none of that risking the main char's humanity this deep.

why i said, risking, well,, i don't want to give spoiler here, so. all i just want to say is, in my point of view, the main char, in Manga named Shinji and in Anime named Izumi Shinichi, struggled his best to keep his humanity, while having to cope with the existence of the most inhuman species as part of his body-the parasyte named Migi.
they eventually find a win-win solution for their co-existence, but really. Shinichi began to lose his humanity. the one thing that makes him different with the parasyte. as for the reason why, it's not like he's doing it on purpose. nope.

it's because there's a hole. a hole was left, at the same time he lost his mother, he gradually lost his humanity as well.

Kiseijuu #11
Shinichi : "a hole. there's a hole..."

he first realized it when he can't even shed a single tear.

Kiseijuu #08
Shinichi : I wonder if there's something wrong with my heart.
Migi : Like what?
Shinichi : I can't cry anymore.
Migi : Oh, that's all?
Shinichi : I feel like i've lost something. something that's an important part of being human.
Migi : That's senseless.

sometimes his 'human side' come forth, but not so long after, he'll regain his composure. but still,, it's quite painful to see. it literally send shivers down my spine.

Kiseijuu #10
Shinichi: what have I.. what have I been doing all this time?! I'm breaking. my heart's breaking... it's about to split in two.

yep. that's a pool of blood.

even after doing and realizing all of that, it's not like that he can simply back to who he was before.
and then, again, i can feel those needles in my heart everytime, someone, even his most important person in this case, his father, asked him, was he made of steel?
or maybe the one who asks, is the one he likes the most?

Kiseijuu #08

As for today, the anime still in it's 13 Eps from the 24 Eps that was going to be released. and i've finished the manga, so i already know where the story leads to.
but damn those piercing needles,,, here. in my heart. below is the last scene in Kiseijuu #12.

 

 

damn.
and in that last scene, why should they played the ending song as well???
i actually skipped the Opening and Ending Song because what i want is watching the movie, but hell. damn. i don't have an exit-plan when the ending song was played on that heart-breaking scene. or is it only my heart that's breaking? *sob

the song brought the same heart-breaking impression though. titled It's The Right Time, by Miura Daichi. in my point of view, it seems like Izumi Shinichi himself is singing that song while struggling his best. *sob

find the song here, and the lyrics as below, credited to random-googling:

Itsuka kimi ga oshiete kureta ano kotoba ga
Mune no oku no doa wo fui ni nokku suru
Furikaeru hima mo naku nanika ni oware
Wasureteita keshiki wo
Ima kimi no koe ga omoidasaseru yo
Daijoubu saa hajimeyou

And It’s the right time, Arukidasou
Yeah It’s the right time, Osorenaide
Hora, Ano oka wo koeta basho de
Boku wo matte iru yo

Tatoe donna tsurai toki mo sono kotoba ga
Hiroi umi wo mayowazu susumu kibou ni naru
Me no mae no kurayami ni tachisukumu tabi, Hikari wo kureru no sa
Moshi kimi ga hitori wo kanjiru toki wa
Daijoubu soba ni iru yo

And It’s the right time, Arukidasou
Yeah It’s the right time, Osorenaide
Hora, Ano oka wo koeta basho wo
Tomo ni Mi ni ikou

Katachi no nai kotae ni tomadou hi mo chiisana koe de
Sotto tsubuyaku no sa
Kimi to boku ni kikoeru koe de

And It’s the right time, Arukidasou
Yeah It’s the right time, Osorenaide
Hora, Ano oka wo koeta basho de
Bokura wo matteiru yo

Hora, Ano oka wo koeta basho e
Tomo ni doko made mo

as for the meaning of the song, credited to this-copy-unabled-site (since all i could translate is "hora" part):

Those words that you once told me
Are suddenly knocking at the door in my heart
Now your voice is making me remember
The scenery I'd forgotten
When I was being chased by something with no time to look back
It's fine, so let's begin.

And it's the right time, let's step forward
Yeah it's the right time, don't be afraid
Look, it's waiting for me
at the place where we crossed that hill

No matter what kind of painful times I'm in, those words
Advance across the wide sea without hesitation, turning into hope.
Everytime I'm petrified by the darkness before my eyes, they give me light
if there are times when you feel alone,
it's fine, I'm by your side.

And it's the right time, let's step forward
Yeah it's the right time, don't be afraid
Look, let's go together to see
The place where we crossed that hill

and in days when I'm perplexed by the answers that has no form
you softly whisper them in a quiet voice
in a voice that you and I can hear

And it's the right time, let's step forward
Yeah it's the right time, don't be afraid
Look, it's waiting for us
at the place where we crossed that hill

Look, we'll be together through thick and thin,
Towards the place where we crossed that hill.
