So to continue what I started in Spring 2021, here are the songs that I’m pretty sure my earphones have had enough but I can’t get enough.
Dream On – Miyano Mamoru (Uramichi Onii-san) Dream On is basicaLLy summer’s BLizzard hahah. I breathe sweat bLeed and sLeep Dream On. ABC Taisou – Miyano Mamoru as Daga Iketeru & Mizuki Nana as Tadano Utano (Uramichi Onii-san) Shinayakana Mirai – Uesaka Sumire as Sugimoto Sawa & Sasaki Rico as Yamado Ayako (Kageki Shoujo) Kageki Shoujo has 4 endings sung by the voice casts but my favorite is this one. I Love the contrast between Sawa’s husky voice (I stiLL can’t beLieve it’s Uesaka Sumire!!!!!) and Ayako’s angeLic voice. Shounen Shoujo – Ginnan Boys (Sonny Boy)
And that’s it. Let’s see what FaLL 2021 wiLL bring.
FinaLLy Uramichi Oniisan successfuLLy made me cry in episode 10. But not even 2 minutes Later it made me Laugh hystericaLLy with tears stiLL streaming down my cheeks.
2021 is the year I fuLL-dived back into anime, nose-first. Anime is 80% of what I watch. The onLy new songs can make their way into my head are anime OP or ED songs.
Them stuck ones from Spring 2021 (not in favoritism order):
BLizzard – Burnout Syndromes (Mashiro No Oto) ((LOL I said not in favoritism order BUT BLizzard is most definiteLy my favorite jam this season. I bLeed, cry, sweat and vomit BLizzard.)) Kono Yume ga Sameru Made – Kato MiLiyah & Yoshida Brothers (Mashiro No Oto) MonoqLo City – Ace CoLLection (Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui) Pink BLood – Utada Hikaru (Fumetsu no Anata e) ((When BLizzard runs out, I bLeed Pink BLood)) Hand Up To The Sky – SawanoHiroyuki:Laco (86) Embrace of Light – Raise A SuiLen (Joran) Various Franchouchou songs (ZombieLand Saga)
UnfortunateLy, despite aLL the “utahime” fuss no songs from Vivy actuaLLy impressed me. The anime itseLf is top, though.
Let’s see what kind of meLodies Summer 2021 wiLL bring.
So this morning I dreamed I was dating a guy who turns out to be a member of a respectabLe mafia cLan and we went to the bank (to do usuaL admin stuff, not robbery) then with nowhere eLse to go we went to a part of town with tons of oLd-fashioned buiLdings and he puLLed me into this restaurant whom owner he caLLed “Mama” and Mama served us a whoLe griLLed chicken and ROSE SALAD but then I woke up before we start eating and the first thing I said awake was 「いいな、ロマンス。」
I impuLsiveLy bought a return ticket to Tokyo for November 2016.
WeLL, I’ve been dreaming about ceLebrating my next birthday in Japan soLo, so.. yeah. Saving Craze must start now.
I impuLsiveLy booked a non-refundabLe hoteL for my trip to Turkey next month.
I thought it’s a free-canceLLation booking. Turned out it’s not. WeLL, at Least it’s a better deaL than the previous booking, and breakfast is incLuded. Fingers crossed the hoteL’s not too bad.
Haven’t drawn and coLored anything for years. But since I got my Midori TraveLer’s Notebook I’ve had this sudden urge to draw.. Not that I can draw weLL LoL. But dusting off my coLour penciLs and finishing this off made me feeL ridicuLousLy happy. PLus I’ve aLways wanted to try a ‘drawn packing List’.
I don’t hate One OK Rock’s Cry Out. But I don’t Love it either. My first reaction after I heard it was “Whew there are a LOT of stuffs going on here” and not aLL of those stuffs are good.
That’s what I think about the MV, which was reLeased earLier today.
After watching it for the nth time (sorry, Mr. Boss (^o^;) ) a crazy and stupid idea suddenLy popped inside my head. I mean, the pLot of the MV is actuaLLy simpLe but unfortunateLy it was crowded with unnecessary things Like too many repetitive sLow motions and gLimmering things, so why don’t thicken the pLot aLL the way and deveLop it to be a movie story? Haha.
Surprise! A Miss Universe NationaL Costume post before the crowning! Maybe because there are some good stand outs, and surprisingLy no bad or outrageous stand outs except Canada (and one other). And whiLe perusing this year’s offerings, suddenLy a crazy idea popped up in my head (that’s why I’m not going to start by ‘anaLizing’ Indonesia’s costume Like usuaL).
IF MISS UNIVERSE WAS A ROLE PLAYING GAME, THERE WOULD BE:
So, in my Last birthday my mother made a not-subtLe-at-aLL hint that it’s about damn time I find a man, find a cLeric and and a stateman, and make it officiaL to make babies. The probLem is, currentLy I am not interested in any man near me. The onLy ones who couLd get me excited are either too far out of reach or simpLy fictionaL.
Like Diego Bunuel.
After watching a few episodes of Don’t TeLL My Mother, Natasha BeddingfieLd’s I Wanna Have Your Babies aLways ring in my head every time I see this man. He’s muLtiLinguaL, so at Least he couLd teach the kids French and Spanish. He’s adventurous, obviousLy, so I guess he wouLd have tons of fantastic bed time stories to teLL the kids (Like “Have I ever toLd you about CoLombia/Iran/Congo/Lebanon/Pakistan/Russia?”).
And then, enter Tom HiddLeston.
WeLL, the first time I saw him he was a super villainous, mischievous demigod with some daddy issues, but I think he couLd just be the most adorabLe charming man on the pLanet. He has THAT smiLe and THAT incredibLe Laugh. He’s got kiLLer dance moves he couLd teach the kids to keep them active and in shape. Many peopLe said he is one of the nicest, kindest man they have ever met. And I aLways have this crazy imagination he wouLd read Lots of Shakespeare for the kids in bed.
But, the one thing that finaLLy, finaLLy set my ovary on fire is this:
*dies*
And here’s RaLeigh Becket.
Yes, yes, I know he’s not a reaL person. Now excuse me whiLe I ogLe Hunnam’s abs for a minute. Or two.
Hunnam’s abs aside, I seriousLy think RaLeigh Becket wouLd make a fantastic father. He’s kind. He has a big heart. He wouLd support the kids to be their best. He couLd teach the daughter(s) a thing or two about seLf defense. He couLd teLL the son(s) the vaLue of buiLding something. He wouLd be the famiLy’s Loudest cheerLeader.
So there they are. Do you think my mother wouLd approve? :p
First, I just need to ask: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS YEAR’S MISS UNIVERSE NATIONAL COSTUME ROUND??? I mean, from aLphabet A to K, I just wanted to scratch the Leather on the armchair. ThankfuLLy, it gets somewhat better. But stiLL, I hate Indonesia’s costume even more than Last year’s costume.
What is this, a peacock Reog? I don’t think Indonesia is speciaLLy weLL-known for peacocks. Komodo dragons, yes. But jeez, whatever Foundation organizing Indonesia’s participation in Miss Universe shouLd stop empLoying those costume makers from SoLo/Jember Batik CarnivaL. Hate.
I’m quite heartbroken because Kosovo is not participating this year.. Their costumes were aLways good! But oh weLL, on with the rest of the Likes, in aLphabeticaL order.
Even though today is Friday and tomorrow is Saturday, I’m feeLing a LittLe.. souLLess today. So I think I’LL just do something ‘Light’ and ‘quick’.. Answering Tina’s Liebster Awardquestions! Hee hee.
Are there any trashy music/books/movies you like? What is it? Eh.. If anyone think Japanese one-voLume shoujo mangas are trashy, then I’m guiLty 😀 (BUT they are quite usefuL as Japanese reading materiaLs.. You know, to keep my Japanese up.. *excuses excuses*)
If you could be a character in any fictional book/movie, who would you be? I want to be a girL who had a LittLe magic and piLot a giant robot in Hayao Miyazaki’s worLd. And I want to have an orange taLking cat who couLd transform to a giant cat-carriage and fLy to take me everywhere as a pet.
Is there anything that you are currently collecting? I’ve been coLLecting movie tickets since 1999! I have cLose to 500 movie titLes now, and I’m damn proud of them, because my other coLLections are just.. dust :p
Is there anything that seems like only you like? What is it? The coLor orange. I mean, I know some peopLe who Like the coLor, but they don’t Love it, aren’t obsessed about it as much as I do.
Would you rather live in your home country or overseas? Why? I’ve never Live overseas Longer than two weeks, so now I stiLL want to TRY to be an expat.
What kind of books/movies do you gravitate to, ones that seems that have a happy ending or one that is tragic? There was a time when I instantLy deemed books/movies that made me cry ‘good’. But sad endings kinda depress me. A LittLe optimism wiLL do much good, I think, Like The FauLt in Our Stars and Pacific Rim (yes, yes, am stiLL Loving it). Both successfuLLy tear me up – quite hard – but made me feeL strangeLy optimist and happy in the end.
Do you believe in aliens? Anything is possibLe. Who knows? The truth is out there.
In your opinion, would it be possible for people to live in space in the near future? If yes, how? Would it be on another planet, like how we live now, or would it be inside spaceships? Yes it wouLd. I do hope it wouLd. Maybe in a coupLe hundred of years (if kingdom come is not coming in another miLLennia) humankind wouLd have been abLe to buiLd a gigantic space fortress. Then once they found a suitabLe pLanet and had finished terraforming it (and dipLomating with the indigenous race), maybe we couLd have a second Earth.
Do you ever wish you were born after or before your time? Why do you feel that way and what time would you like to go to? I DON’T want to be born after my time, speciaLLy in the 2000s. I once I reach aduLthood my eyesight wouLd be even worse than now, what with the tabs and the pads chiLdren these days keep staring at.
At what time do you think should one start to live independently? Once one enter coLLege/university, which I didn’t get to do 😦
If you could have one super power, what would it be? The power to start proper kind of conversations at any given situations so I wouLdn’t have more awkward siLent moments.
So a few days ago a senpai from Uni who runs my favorite entertainment review bLog ajirenji mindstream reviewsnominated me to participate at The Liebster Award and The Sunshine Award. At first I thought I got ‘awarded’ because maybe I am the most annoying commenter (or commentor? commentator?) on his bLog, but nope, after a LittLe digging around, The Liebster and The Sunshine are aLL about – to put it simpLy – recommending and connecting bLoggers by giving and answering random questions. Or, it is a bit Like those random questions note-tags back in my heydays on Facebook :p
It's a very, very mad world
