十数えて

Since I’m leaving for China fairly soon, during the past few days I have been taking notes of all the ideas Duster and I had for the past year or two (so I have something to do on the plane). It turn out, there were few story ideas I have forgotten about. It saddens me. Feels like I’m getting old with memory lost… Anyway, while taking notes, I was also writing up few stories. One in particular turns out to fit this song I like to listen to. The song is called “Juu kazoete” (count to ten) by Jun Shibata. God, most of her songs are so depressingly beautiful. Although I can’t seem to find a sample of this song, so when you guys have time, check her out.

「十数えて」
作詞：柴田淳 作曲：柴田淳
目隠しして 十数えて振り向いて
hide away my eyes, count down from ten
君の目にするものが 素晴らしい世界であるように
in order to make the world as beautiful as the one you see
影絵みたいに 心映し出せたなら
like shadow puppets, if your hearts reflection were shown
君の想いはどんな 姿で現れるのだろう
what kind of shape in your thoughts would appear I wonder
誰が見えるか 後ろの正面
I can see someone behind you
君を笑顔に出来る人よ
the one who can make you smile
見守るだけの 僕は消えてゆく
and I, who could only watch, am disappearing
君の中から…
from inside of you…
忘れそうな ねぇ 誰かが
looks like I’ll be forgotten… hey, someone
そう 君のこと ねぇ 想ってる
yes, you, hey, I think of you
口を噤んで 何も言わずに過ごした
I stilled my lips and, saying nothing, let time pass us by
僕にとって恋でも 君にはなんでもないから
even though to me it was love, to you it was nothing
こちらにおいで 手の鳴る方へと
come here, to the hands that cry for you
ずっと 君を呼んでいたんだ
they have always been calling out to you
通り過ぎてく 君が滲んでく
yet passing by everything, you spread away
行かないで…
please don’t go…
忘れそうな ねぇ 誰かが
looks like I’ll be forgotten… hey, someone
そう 君のこと ねぇ 求めてる
yes, you, hey, I asked of you
忘れそうな ねぇ 誰かが
looks like I’ll be forgotten… hey, someone
そう 君のこと ねぇ 想ってる
Yes, you, hey, I think of you

The school is going to start soon so I’ll be shifting focus again. With this Final Fantasy fanart marks the last post of this winter break, I think I am pretty happy now, mainly because of Fang. Yes, Square Enix, thank you for moving Lightning’s sex appeal to her because I had such a hard time not stopping my face from burning when I’m looking at her. If you recall, there’s a post on Twitter where I mentioned how it will be impossible to draw Fang, today this statement is reconfirmed. Even though I made an attempt, it’s still didn’t capture what is she really about. Not enough love, maybe? My skill is still lacking… And then there is Vanille and Chocobo, aren’t they so cute in the game? I want to make them a little sexier for Fang but… I think Chocobo-san you are really getting here (*chuckled)! Next time I’ll continue to practice. Hopefully you will like the drawing for now.

“I believe it’s about time to move on from things like drawing old characters” turned out to be a total lie!! That’s right, here is another Netherlands Team drawing. Sorry, there are reasons. It is suppose to be a test drawing on Sai before the new year comic was drew, but honestly I just wanted to draw Yukuko with long hair. She looks so much like Yukari with just the outline so I added color, hopefully it worked? Now that I finally get this done, next time will be ff13! Winter break feels so short this year.
ファイナルファンタジーXIII挿入歌「Eternal Love」

I’m still getting over FF13, so there might be more post related to it in the future. Anyway, for the people who read the review, I mentioned there was an insert song in the game. Well, this is that song. This actually came with Sugawara Sayuri’s 「君がいるから」 single, also is the song that will be replaced with “My Hands” by Leona Lewis. I have nothing against Leona Lewis, but I just hate that particular song’s lyrics and beat. Since, why couldn’t it be “I will be” or some other songs by her? “My hands” sounds like they scrambled everything together at the last minute. Whatever it is, I think “Eternal Love” fits the scene a lot more. When you watch the scene while read the lyrics below, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
========================================
「Eternal Love」
作詞：中嶋ユキノ・菅原紗由理
作曲：浜渦正志 編曲：Sin
あなたとの愛が このままずっと続きますように
For the love with you to continuously be like this
夜空に願うの
I wish upon the night sky
この手は まだ 離せない
Because these hands have yet to let go
何気ない日々 繰り返してた 何も怖くなかった
Casual days reiterated,
yet there wasn’t anything to be afraid of
二人で明日を迎えられる事が 当たり前だったね
To welcome tomorrow is something the two of us do,
it was so obvious
強い瞳に守られている この時間が (止まればいいのに)
Protected by your strong gaze,
moments like this (it would be better if they stop)
沢山の光に照らされた横顔 見ていたい
Your features which are being illuminated by the countless lights,
I really want to see them
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
For to have a love with you to last eternally
夜空に願うの
I wish upon the night sky
この手は まだ 離せない
Because these hands have yet to let go
どうしても甘えてしまう もっと大人になりたいのに
Couldn’t help but to depend on you,
even though I wanted to be more like an adult
愚痴とか弱音を吐けるのは あなたしかいないから
Protests with a weak voice that escapes the lips,
it just won’t do if it isn’t you
初めてキスをした あの時の甘い味を覚えているよ
When we had our first kiss,
I still remember the sweet taste of that moment
今思えば 幸せすぎたのかもね
Remembering it now, it might have been too satisfying
頬を流れる涙に気づかれないように (うつむいていたの)
I want my tears to go unnoticed (so I lowered my head)
「アイシテル」
“I love you”
あなたの言葉が微かに震えてた
Your words were leniently eloquent
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
For to have a love with you that will never be lost
夜空に誓うの
I vow upon the night sky
この手は もう 離さない
Because these hands will never let go
あなたとの愛が 永遠であるように
For to have a love with you that lasts eternally
夜空に願うの
I wish upon the night sky
この手は まだ 離せない
Because these hands have yet to let go
あなたとの愛を 失いたくないから
For to have a love with you that will never be lost
夜空に誓うの
I vow upon the night sky
この手は もう 離さない
Because these hands will never let go
Final Fantasy XIII Review
Posted by: dusterensei on: January 9, 2010
Upon finishing Final Fantasy XIII, the notions which I have been eagerly to say can finally come out. Before I received my copy of the game, there are nights I just sit in front of my computer reading reviews wondering if my money was well spend. Luckily, it was. Although that’s not to say I am giving it a perfect score. Of course that would be a no. In fact, I believe no game should deserve a perfect score, considering nothing is perfect, even Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. With millions copy sold, there are still parts of the game bothers me so. For example, when the player was hit, the creators thought blood should splatter like someone spill their fruit juice in your face. Or parts in the story mode was just not as exciting as they seems after you seen the same technique done for more than twice. Best part of the game, just like most review would say is indeed the online play. Area maps are huge which gives you great spots to snip someone without being noticed. With that being said, please note Final Fantasy XIII do shines but it also have some problems.
