Romanised by *LIY Originally romanised it for personal use (because all these popular songs get romanised by other people anyway) but since I got the album, I thought I'd just upload it, and link it from the master post I will be doing.
Hello everybody! It's once again 1:42 in the morning. LOL.
So, Jin (Shizen no Teki P)'s new album for Kagerou Project, Mekakucity Records (メカクシティレコーズ) has gone on sale and yours truly went to get it from Amazon JP. (It ended up being cheaper than CDJapan, even after shipping, so I got it from there)
Even though I should be saving for my Taobao shopping....
Because I wanted the limited edition album!!
THIS:
From top left: Cardboard sleeve for the CD&DVD (bottom right), a box, the booklet for the limited ed, CD&DVD digipak (special design for the limited ed) and the lyrics booklet.
As always, when I write about the CDs I get, I post up photos of how they look like inside!
When you open the digipak, this is what you see:
The bottom are the CD & DVD~ (Can you guess which is which?)
The tracklist is also written in the digipak (Will prolly do a master post romanisation for the songs within the week or something) UPDATE!Romanised the lyrics for Mekakucity Records here
BY THE WAY. According to the booklet in the album, the anime's title will be "Mekakucity Actors".
So that is all! And I really wanna get Michaon's album (releasing soon) but I think I won't be able to get the tokuten ;_; SIGH. It's okay, I don't use mouse pads anyway............. *comforts self*
Oh, and the K mook I mentioned previously (here) went on sale 6 Jun! At Animate stores throughout Japan and online as well. Want to get mafumafu's Meikyou Shisui at the same time but I don't have enough money meh.
I also mentioned previously that I was going to Batam for a getaway! Came back on Monday late afternoon. We didn't do much, just a bit of Go Kart (and some people really can't drive, wow. And I think I'd make an awesome driver, but driving lessons are expensive in SG and I won't have a car to drive anyway), had seafood for lunch, Indonesian food for dinner, bits of window-shopping/looking around in between. We stayed at Turi Beach, and our room overlooked the sea!! Could hear the waves~
How the outside of the rooms look like, from the pool (which you can't see lol, sorry)
Beware of monkeys, apparently. (Nope didn't encounter any)
My package from ASOS also arrived on Tuesday (I think)! Here's a photo of my new flats! (Which are slightly loose, and really slippery. Really, what kind of ground do the British step on? I feel like I could slide around on these shoes in SG's shopping malls)
I also bought three pairs of tights, and I haven't worn them yet, so maybe I take photos of them when I do!
So here concludes the post for today, see you next time!
Hello hello~ lately I've been only talking about stuff I've bought. That's not good huh, hahaha.
Anyway, the other day I finally got my butt off and read the interview with Miyano Mamoru in PASH! March about "Saruhiko's Love". And I think that, like. Hmmm how should I put it. Alright, basically in the interviewe they asked Miyano-san about Saru, but it's only with regards to his own opinion, so like it's not as if that's the actual character setting for Saru by GoRa. But, anyway, what I think about Saru and what Miyano-san thinks about Saru match hahaha that's just what I wanted to say lol. Really love Fushimiiiii. I think we're kind of alike. /hit except I'm less extreme. 多分.
So anyway, that was the only interview I managed to read in PASH!, or rather, it was the only thing I had the motivation to read.... lol. Poor attention span. But I took half an hour to read one page lol. If it was in English I would have finished it in 5 minutes. I don't know if I should upload a transcript translation because I'm bad at translating. =3= どうする〜 But I haven't seen any such translations online (tumblr at least).
Oh, and on 1st April, my items from CDJapan arrived! (And I wasn't around to collect it either hurhur). I bought root5's 1st album ROOT FIVE. I got the Limited Edition one. Came with a charm wristlet~ I'm guessing that the charm comes in 5 designs, for each member. I got Pokota's. (I really wanted Mi-chan's one though...) It has Pokota's trademark kaomonji on it.
And I also got the Shueen Project's Re:Write album! Got the limited edition one for Suzumu's arrangements (I apologise to 150P-san).
Inside of the album!
And there's also a small booklet, and this is a page introducing some of the key items in the whole Shuuen no Shiori storyline.
And this are the 2 CDs and 1 DVD in the album. (I haven't played the DVD because it's not coded for my region, so I have to change my DVD drive to region-2 but I only have a limited number of times I can change my region so. haiiz. Maybe I could borrow a DVD player from a friend or something.)
Moving on to last weekend~ On Saturday I went to Orchard Road to walk around -- okay, I planned to go Kinokuniya ok. Yeah, so I went Kinokuniya with the purpose to ask about when spoon2Di Vol 33 will be arriving and if they will bring in PRINCE Animage Spring 2013 (because I've never seen it in Kino before) but I bet Kino knows that K is super popular in Singapore because everything was STOCKED.
So yeah. And it was good I bought from Kino because I just went AmazonJP to check how much it would be after shipping + handling and HENG AH. I saved $9 lol (after including my Kino membership discount).
And actually to be honest, I think K is actually pretty popular in Singapore, especially since KANAME☆ cosplayed Saru, and came to AFA SG cosplaying him (I was so damn happy. Yes. Like yeah. And KANAME☆ is so adorbs.) and also there was a K booth at AFA (and I didn't get anything because I was awfully broke at that period of time and a K stage segment.
ALRIGHT! Onward to the magazines:
別冊spoon 2Di Vol 33
The front cover featured ENE-chan~ and there was a special furoku - a Kagerou Project clear file~
There's a special 20page feature on Kagepro, and I flipped through it (because I'm lazy, sorry) and there are snippets of the storyboards for Yobanashi Deceive and Lost Time Memory in it! And character profiles for everyone! As well as a 50-qn interview with Jin (Shizen no Teki P).
ShuuenPro is also in this issue!! Includes interview with Suzumu.
And a KARNEVAL feature (been meaning to read the manga but. ==" haiiz. How does one suck at being otaku /slapped). AND. An interview with Miyano Mamoru about him voicing Yogi for the anime.
MAGI and Psycho Pass are also in it. (Yes I haven't watched Psycho Pass argh OTL) And and, a collection of the tweets that the GoRa members have been tweeting for K. (Yay for me, because I didn't follow their tweets at all lol x,D I tend to not follow Japanese twitter accounts even utaite/Producers I really like because it's tiring, gomennnasai.)
And if you haven't heard of RDG (Red Data Girl), I think you should check it out!! I watched the PV and it's pretty cool. It starts airing this month.
OH OH. Speaking of new anime, I heard that Kyoukai no Kanata (animated by KyoAni homg) is becoming an anime!!! I saw the 30seconds CM and fell in love.
Other stuff in spoon2Di include AURA (i have no idea what is this about) and UtaPri 2000% (have you watched STARISH's "debut concert" PV? I'm really sorry to UtaPri fans but I can never take them seriously. I LOLed when I watched MajiLove1000% for the first time, and when my friend shared the new OP on FB, I watched it and laughed too, sumimasen.) and a few other interviews~ (as you can tell, my concentration drops once it reaches the back).
Oh, and the back cover is ShiroKuro, in the same style as the previous spoon2Di. The posters in it are 1 of that back cover, and another one with Totsuka and Kusanagi (hshs /hit).
ONWARD! To Prince Animage Spring 2013:
Basically Amazon sent me an email on "Recommended items for you based on your past purchase history" and yeah. Saw the cover, read the headlines, and was like "Buying." Yupp. (T▽T)
The furoku with this issue is a set of 2 reversible desk mats, featuring K and Psycho Pass!
Side note: If any magazine or whatnots comes out w like a furoku feat S4 I think I would really go siao. I love S4 almost abit more than the main characters omg lol
But yeah. Those two items are desk mats. Like who would use them as desk mats please. (maybe one day I will lol, because I have a habit of eating in my room, and my table's wooden so I can't put hot stuff on it. when desk mats come in handy)
And also there is a poster of the cover page illustration included. (but Fushimi, why your pose so gay -lol crying-)
Prince Animage is bound using staples, so the posters were easy to take out this time. Except that I had to remove the entire magazine, so yeah, it's impossible to return the staples to the holes so now my magazine is un-bound.
Poster designs are of Inzuma Eleven GO, Cardfight Vanguard, Tamako Market (which is almost like some otome game poster bc it's Mochizou lying on a bed looking at you, hugging Dera (and you are supposedly on the bed with him so yeahhhh like, you get the idea?), and Hetalia, KARNEVAL, Devil Survivor 2 and Psycho Pass.
And Hetalia and K are printed on the same paper OTL
So for this Animage, there's a pretty big K feature, such as a dialogue session with the 7 people of GoRa, long interview w Suzuki Shingo, and there are also mini postcard-size illustrations in the magazine by the various animators of GoHands, with their comments~ (basically all saying "Thanks for supporting/watching K" and to look forward to the sequel. Btw, Suzuki Shingo has really neat handwriting. But it's damn small. [so to be really honest I didn't really read what he wrote i'm sorrrryyy])
tbh, most of the anime magazines feature the same things so I feel really repetitive when telling you what's on the cover lol ^^; But anywaaaay.
Features: MAGI, Kuroko no Basket, Psycho Pass, Jojo's Bizarre Adventures, Cardfight Vanguard, Hetalia, InaEle, KARNEVAL, Devil Survivor 2, Danball Senki Wars, UtaPri2000%, Tamako Market.
Interviews with: Yuuki Kaji on Alibaba from MAGI, Terashima Takuma on UtaPri2000% & Miyano Mamoru on UtaPri2000%, Tamaru Atsushi on Ooji Mochizou from Tamako Market, a combined interview with 3 seiyuus of Cardfight Vanguard - Yoshino Hiroyuki, Yonaga Tsubasa, Nara Tooru. And also you shouldn't unbind your book because the pages are gonna fall out and hit you on the nose or poke your neck and it hurts. orz
And there's this one-page corner on a cross-dressing cafe in Tokyo lol. It's called EIGHTY PLUS ONE (80 plus 1). And apparently guys can't enter during their cafe operating hours wow. They have a BAR TIME which is from 6PM - 10PM.
That's about it I guess.
Oh, and I discovered this video interview with Akira (models for KERA, and other brands/magazines). Akira's my favourite model in KERA, and I really admire her!
Alright! I shall end this post here today. I had Chemistry practical today. It was pretty tiring. (゚´Д`゚)゚ I think that practical is really tiring. Haiiz. But it's a requirement for A levels so I shall do my best and get the maximum marks possible.
明日もがんばります ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Tomorrow is Physics practical... Well Physics is easier than Chemistry...
Really tired and I need to sleep nao so, goodnight~

Kanji (typed by myself - I think I just spent like 3 times the amount of time I usually spend on doing lyrics)
数年経っても影は消えない
感情ばかりが慕って行く
踞って一人描いていた
Romanised by *LIY And I also typed down the Kanji lyrics myself okay ;_;
* note: Like previously mentioned in Yobanashi Deceive, IA sings in slang, so for the lyrics "bakari", "doko ka", yes they are provided by Jin in the videos written as such but IA sings "bakka" and "dokka".
Anyway, this song is also known as "a story burned into the eyes". It's a super nice song, and when I saw it come out (at 1:30 in the morning, and it's 3:21 now, so I pretty much took one and a half hour to do up everything gosh. My eyes are tired and I am tired and I want to sleep but I must babble about the song and the lyrics and story in the song. /hit.
But I really like the arrangement of the song! It's different from Jin's other songs in the Kagerou Project and I really like it! The intro and bridge were really simple and then after the intro it's like boom the guitar (awesome, awesome guitar) comes in with the drums and bass and it's like Jin's style showing through and somehow it marks a transition kind of thing because the intro was about the past, and then after the music it's the present. I personally don't really enjoy IA being tuned so high, but that is a trademark of Jin. And at the verses, you can hear abit of the sounds from Souzou Forest and I really like it, and there's also hints of Children Record, and I really enjoy that.
And Jin's really awesome at the guitar. I also want to be that good ;_; Yamaha at Plaza Singapura is selling pretty mint electric guitars at 200+bucks. And pretty bass at around the same price (I'm nit picky and I prefer a bass with the pegs at one side because I think that's a trademark design of bass guitars but this one has its pegs on both sides so I was like... I don't really like that... but it's cheap - for Yamaha - and has a nice body. Argh.) But anyway this song is about Shintarou basically, (that's like the most important point and I left it out lol) and as stated in Jin's comments, it's about his regrets that he can't let go and he's like meh existing daily but not living and wants to be in the dream where the girl is still alive but ENE tells him that he won't be able to see tomorrow if he stays like that but he's doesn't care and chose to be alone. But anyway, he manages to let go at the end. And also in the video, Shintarou smiles and everyone was like "Shintarou smiled!!" "Shintarou's smiling face" and comments like that LOL.
But this is a really good song. I'm half-set on buying Mekaku City Records just because of this song. Srsly.
I bought the first novel but I'm not even a quarter done on it lol. I'm lazy like that lol plus it's kind of.... draggy? Jin adds way too much description in the novel lol. And he loves using weird obscure Kanji ==" And he loves using Kanji in general srsly.
Oh, and I was expecting to see covers being uploaded, but there's no karaoke for this song, so I guess rankings will be peaceful this time round lol. [update: yeah Jin uploaded the instru the next day. The instru sounds really pretty!]
And Shidu is getting so good at videos really. When I watched the PV I was blown away. It was really well done. (But the lyrics were so hard to read I had to pause at awkward moments to catch them @_@)
Okeh. I'm beat. It's 3:30. I have to sleep. Goodnight.

Romanised by *LIY Notes: * In the video it is written as "osamaranai" but IA sings "osamannai", which is pretty much like "slanging"(??) your words, for example "you all" to "y'all". It's pretty common in colloquial speech.

Hello everybody! It's once again 1:42 in the morning. LOL.
So, Jin (Shizen no Teki P)'s new album for Kagerou Project, Mekakucity Records (メカクシティレコーズ) has gone on sale and yours truly went to get it from Amazon JP. (It ended up being cheaper than CDJapan, even after shipping, so I got it from there)

Oh, and the K mook I mentioned previously (here) went on sale 6 Jun! At Animate stores throughout Japan and online as well. Want to get mafumafu's Meikyou Shisui at the same time but I don't have enough money meh.
I also mentioned previously that I was going to Batam for a getaway! Came back on Monday late afternoon. We didn't do much, just a bit of Go Kart (and some people really can't drive, wow. And I think I'd make an awesome driver, but driving lessons are expensive in SG and I won't have a car to drive anyway), had seafood for lunch, Indonesian food for dinner, bits of window-shopping/looking around in between.

My package from ASOS also arrived on Tuesday (I think)! Here's a photo of my new flats! (Which are slightly loose, and really slippery. Really, what kind of ground do the British step on? I feel like I could slide around on these shoes in SG's shopping malls)
I also bought three pairs of tights, and I haven't worn them yet, so maybe I take photos of them when I do!
So here concludes the post for today, see you next time!
Hello hello~ lately I've been only talking about stuff I've bought. That's not good huh, hahaha.
Anyway, the other day I finally got my butt off and read the interview with Miyano Mamoru in PASH! March about "Saruhiko's Love". And I think that, like. Hmmm how should I put it. Alright, basically in the interviewe they asked Miyano-san about Saru, but it's only with regards to his own opinion, so like it's not as if that's the actual character setting for Saru by GoRa. But, anyway, what I think about Saru and what Miyano-san thinks about Saru match hahaha that's just what I wanted to say lol. Really love Fushimiiiii. I think we're kind of alike. /hit except I'm less extreme. 多分.
So anyway, that was the only interview I managed to read in PASH!, or rather, it was the only thing I had the motivation to read.... lol. Poor attention span. But I took half an hour to read one page lol. If it was in English I would have finished it in 5 minutes. I don't know if I should upload a transcript translation because I'm bad at translating. =3= どうする〜 But I haven't seen any such translations online (tumblr at least).
Oh, and on 1st April, my items from CDJapan arrived! (And I wasn't around to collect it either hurhur). I bought root5's 1st album ROOT FIVE. I got the Limited Edition one. Came with a charm wristlet~ I'm guessing that the charm comes in 5 designs, for each member. I got Pokota's. (I really wanted Mi-chan's one though...) It has Pokota's trademark kaomonji on it.
And I also got the Shueen Project's Re:Write album! Got the limited edition one for Suzumu's arrangements (I apologise to 150P-san).
Inside of the album!
And there's also a small booklet, and this is a page introducing some of the key items in the whole Shuuen no Shiori storyline.
And this are the 2 CDs and 1 DVD in the album. (I haven't played the DVD because it's not coded for my region, so I have to change my DVD drive to region-2 but I only have a limited number of times I can change my region so. haiiz. Maybe I could borrow a DVD player from a friend or something.)
Moving on to last weekend~ On Saturday I went to Orchard Road to walk around -- okay, I planned to go Kinokuniya ok. Yeah, so I went Kinokuniya with the purpose to ask about when spoon2Di Vol 33 will be arriving and if they will bring in PRINCE Animage Spring 2013 (because I've never seen it in Kino before) but I bet Kino knows that K is super popular in Singapore because everything was STOCKED.
So yeah. And it was good I bought from Kino because I just went AmazonJP to check how much it would be after shipping + handling and HENG AH. I saved $9 lol (after including my Kino membership discount).
And actually to be honest, I think K is actually pretty popular in Singapore, especially since KANAME☆ cosplayed Saru, and came to AFA SG cosplaying him (I was so damn happy. Yes. Like yeah. And KANAME☆ is so adorbs.) and also there was a K booth at AFA (and I didn't get anything because I was awfully broke at that period of time and a K stage segment.
ALRIGHT! Onward to the magazines:
別冊spoon 2Di Vol 33
The front cover featured ENE-chan~ and there was a special furoku - a Kagerou Project clear file~
There's a special 20page feature on Kagepro, and I flipped through it (because I'm lazy, sorry) and there are snippets of the storyboards for Yobanashi Deceive and Lost Time Memory in it! And character profiles for everyone! As well as a 50-qn interview with Jin (Shizen no Teki P).
ShuuenPro is also in this issue!! Includes interview with Suzumu.
And a KARNEVAL feature (been meaning to read the manga but. ==" haiiz. How does one suck at being otaku /slapped). AND. An interview with Miyano Mamoru about him voicing Yogi for the anime.
MAGI and Psycho Pass are also in it. (Yes I haven't watched Psycho Pass argh OTL) And and, a collection of the tweets that the GoRa members have been tweeting for K. (Yay for me, because I didn't follow their tweets at all lol x,D I tend to not follow Japanese twitter accounts even utaite/Producers I really like because it's tiring, gomennnasai.)
And if you haven't heard of RDG (Red Data Girl), I think you should check it out!! I watched the PV and it's pretty cool. It starts airing this month.
OH OH. Speaking of new anime, I heard that Kyoukai no Kanata (animated by KyoAni homg) is becoming an anime!!! I saw the 30seconds CM and fell in love.
Other stuff in spoon2Di include AURA (i have no idea what is this about) and UtaPri 2000% (have you watched STARISH's "debut concert" PV? I'm really sorry to UtaPri fans but I can never take them seriously. I LOLed when I watched MajiLove1000% for the first time, and when my friend shared the new OP on FB, I watched it and laughed too, sumimasen.) and a few other interviews~ (as you can tell, my concentration drops once it reaches the back).
Oh, and the back cover is ShiroKuro, in the same style as the previous spoon2Di. The posters in it are 1 of that back cover, and another one with Totsuka and Kusanagi (hshs /hit).
ONWARD! To Prince Animage Spring 2013:
Basically Amazon sent me an email on "Recommended items for you based on your past purchase history" and yeah. Saw the cover, read the headlines, and was like "Buying." Yupp. (T▽T)
The furoku with this issue is a set of 2 reversible desk mats, featuring K and Psycho Pass!
Side note: If any magazine or whatnots comes out w like a furoku feat S4 I think I would really go siao. I love S4 almost abit more than the main characters omg lol
But yeah. Those two items are desk mats. Like who would use them as desk mats please. (maybe one day I will lol, because I have a habit of eating in my room, and my table's wooden so I can't put hot stuff on it. when desk mats come in handy)
And also there is a poster of the cover page illustration included. (but Fushimi, why your pose so gay -lol crying-)
Prince Animage is bound using staples, so the posters were easy to take out this time. Except that I had to remove the entire magazine, so yeah, it's impossible to return the staples to the holes so now my magazine is un-bound.
Poster designs are of Inzuma Eleven GO, Cardfight Vanguard, Tamako Market (which is almost like some otome game poster bc it's Mochizou lying on a bed looking at you, hugging Dera (and you are supposedly on the bed with him so yeahhhh like, you get the idea?), and Hetalia, KARNEVAL, Devil Survivor 2 and Psycho Pass.
And Hetalia and K are printed on the same paper OTL
So for this Animage, there's a pretty big K feature, such as a dialogue session with the 7 people of GoRa, long interview w Suzuki Shingo, and there are also mini postcard-size illustrations in the magazine by the various animators of GoHands, with their comments~ (basically all saying "Thanks for supporting/watching K" and to look forward to the sequel. Btw, Suzuki Shingo has really neat handwriting. But it's damn small. [so to be really honest I didn't really read what he wrote i'm sorrrryyy])
tbh, most of the anime magazines feature the same things so I feel really repetitive when telling you what's on the cover lol ^^; But anywaaaay.
Features: MAGI, Kuroko no Basket, Psycho Pass, Jojo's Bizarre Adventures, Cardfight Vanguard, Hetalia, InaEle, KARNEVAL, Devil Survivor 2, Danball Senki Wars, UtaPri2000%, Tamako Market.
Interviews with: Yuuki Kaji on Alibaba from MAGI, Terashima Takuma on UtaPri2000% & Miyano Mamoru on UtaPri2000%, Tamaru Atsushi on Ooji Mochizou from Tamako Market, a combined interview with 3 seiyuus of Cardfight Vanguard - Yoshino Hiroyuki, Yonaga Tsubasa, Nara Tooru. And also you shouldn't unbind your book because the pages are gonna fall out and hit you on the nose or poke your neck and it hurts. orz
And there's this one-page corner on a cross-dressing cafe in Tokyo lol. It's called EIGHTY PLUS ONE (80 plus 1). And apparently guys can't enter during their cafe operating hours wow. They have a BAR TIME which is from 6PM - 10PM.
That's about it I guess.
Oh, and I discovered this video interview with Akira (models for KERA, and other brands/magazines). Akira's my favourite model in KERA, and I really admire her!
Alright! I shall end this post here today. I had Chemistry practical today. It was pretty tiring. (゚´Д`゚)゚ I think that practical is really tiring. Haiiz. But it's a requirement for A levels so I shall do my best and get the maximum marks possible.
明日もがんばります ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Tomorrow is Physics practical... Well Physics is easier than Chemistry...
Really tired and I need to sleep nao so, goodnight~

Kanji (typed by myself - I think I just spent like 3 times the amount of time I usually spend on doing lyrics)
数年経っても影は消えない
感情ばかりが慕って行く
踞って一人描いていた
Romanised by *LIY And I also typed down the Kanji lyrics myself okay ;_;
* note: Like previously mentioned in Yobanashi Deceive, IA sings in slang, so for the lyrics "bakari", "doko ka", yes they are provided by Jin in the videos written as such but IA sings "bakka" and "dokka".
Anyway, this song is also known as "a story burned into the eyes". It's a super nice song, and when I saw it come out (at 1:30 in the morning, and it's 3:21 now, so I pretty much took one and a half hour to do up everything gosh. My eyes are tired and I am tired and I want to sleep but I must babble about the song and the lyrics and story in the song. /hit.
But I really like the arrangement of the song! It's different from Jin's other songs in the Kagerou Project and I really like it! The intro and bridge were really simple and then after the intro it's like boom the guitar (awesome, awesome guitar) comes in with the drums and bass and it's like Jin's style showing through and somehow it marks a transition kind of thing because the intro was about the past, and then after the music it's the present. I personally don't really enjoy IA being tuned so high, but that is a trademark of Jin. And at the verses, you can hear abit of the sounds from Souzou Forest and I really like it, and there's also hints of Children Record, and I really enjoy that.
And Jin's really awesome at the guitar. I also want to be that good ;_; Yamaha at Plaza Singapura is selling pretty mint electric guitars at 200+bucks. And pretty bass at around the same price (I'm nit picky and I prefer a bass with the pegs at one side because I think that's a trademark design of bass guitars but this one has its pegs on both sides so I was like... I don't really like that... but it's cheap - for Yamaha - and has a nice body. Argh.) But anyway this song is about Shintarou basically, (that's like the most important point and I left it out lol) and as stated in Jin's comments, it's about his regrets that he can't let go and he's like meh existing daily but not living and wants to be in the dream where the girl is still alive but ENE tells him that he won't be able to see tomorrow if he stays like that but he's doesn't care and chose to be alone. But anyway, he manages to let go at the end. And also in the video, Shintarou smiles and everyone was like "Shintarou smiled!!" "Shintarou's smiling face" and comments like that LOL.
But this is a really good song. I'm half-set on buying Mekaku City Records just because of this song. Srsly.
I bought the first novel but I'm not even a quarter done on it lol. I'm lazy like that lol plus it's kind of.... draggy? Jin adds way too much description in the novel lol. And he loves using weird obscure Kanji ==" And he loves using Kanji in general srsly.
Oh, and I was expecting to see covers being uploaded, but there's no karaoke for this song, so I guess rankings will be peaceful this time round lol. [update: yeah Jin uploaded the instru the next day. The instru sounds really pretty!]
And Shidu is getting so good at videos really. When I watched the PV I was blown away. It was really well done. (But the lyrics were so hard to read I had to pause at awkward moments to catch them @_@)
Okeh. I'm beat. It's 3:30. I have to sleep. Goodnight.

Romanised by *LIY Notes: * In the video it is written as "osamaranai" but IA sings "osamannai", which is pretty much like "slanging"(??) your words, for example "you all" to "y'all". It's pretty common in colloquial speech.
