A Love Suicide

Starts with a soft jazz piano, and then sorrow violins break out within the main rhythm.
All the instruments work around the singer's bright, deep, and neutral vocal.
This is the opening theme for a PS2 horror game "Rule of Rose" written by Kan Hashimoto.

The overtone of the vocal is lost because of file compression on this one, or the vocal is as bright as a brass.




A Love Suicide


Say
Where is my shame,
When I call your name?
So, please don’t set me free
I’m as heavy as can be
I will do you harm
I will break my arm
I am a victim of your charms

I want to be dead
When I’m in bed
I can be so mean
You can beat me
I would like to shame you
I would like to blame you
Just because of my love to you

And
Love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
I know nothing can drive it away

Though
Love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
But it’s greedy just like sin

Alone but sane
I am a love suicide

‘Cause
Love itself is just as brief as a candle in the wind
It is pure white just like sin

Alone but sane
I am a love suicide

‘Cause
Love itself is just as innocent as roses in May
It is pure white just like sin

New background music

This is レ・プレ "Re-Pure" from Gunbuster2 original soundtrack.
I think it suits the characteristic of Nono better than her own theme.

A nobly-born weapon,
endowed with an eternal life to protect a vow timelessly,
endowed with a human form to understand the pain of loneliness.

At the end of her bliss with a little disconsolation,
she sleeps again inside the singularity for another 5.67 billion years
to witness the end of man's time.

And she accepts it, that's how she is.

Sketch + Color study

(for the Intro to Entertainment class final painting)

Playing with Photoshop airbrush tool...

It's completely done with one airbrush setting, also used '[' and ']' to adjust the brush size.
In this technique it's easy to create special moods and focus-defocus things in an image.
And it can be done very quickly, this one took me a about 1.5 hours.

Okay

I (almost) finished decorating my website, and I have completely no idea why I did it.

Next I will add a new page for links and throw my friends and those Art Center yakuza into it.
And I will add another page for my own information; this is low priority.

New Gallery testing

You can find the link on the right sidebar. --==>
The speed of SQL database seems pretty slow to me, so I'm not sure if it's gonna work in long term.

Switch to blogger beta.

The lyric I posted earlier...

It's an Anime song called "March of Exelion" from "Aim for the Top! Gunbuster" (Aim for the Top Discography, 3 CD)
Lyric by Toshio Okada + Hideaki Anno / Composed by Kôhei Tanaka




I really cannot find the English version of it, so here is the Chinese version from a friend.

第壹
前進吧 前進吧 EXELION
粉碎星辰而前進吧
將父親的夢想 與母親的愛
寄託在遠方星辰的 往日誓言

啦啦啦 賭上人類的一切
飛馳而出的戰艦
我們的希望

前進吧 前進吧 EXELION
粉碎星塵而前進吧
將父親的夢想 與母親的愛
寄託在遠方星辰的 往日誓言

啦啦啦 燒灼天空的 赤色巨星
遮蔽去向的 Great Wall

相信奇蹟 詠唱那首歌吧 放聲高歌（啊啊～～）

第貳
出航了　出航了　EXELION
超越光速　要出航了
父親的意志與 母親的心靈
自小時便立下的 那孩子的誓願

啦啦啦 凍結時間的 Black Hole
捲起夸克漩渦的 中子星

讓勇氣充滿心中　詠唱那首歌吧 放聲高歌（啊啊～～）

啦啦啦 燒灼天空的 赤色巨星
遮蔽去向的 Great Wall

讓勇氣充滿心中 詠唱那首歌吧 讓它響徹宇宙（啊啊～～）

When was the last time I updated on this project?

Term 2 End

I cannot believe I slept 20 hours last night...

Long time no update?

Yeah...people get lazy when there are too many things to do.

Kaboom.

I confess that I'm a pyromaniac, especially the big ones.

From sketchbook....

The original sketch looked like this:

Conversation #1512

"You have a blog."

"Yep."

"And you promised us to update it daily."

"Yep."

"I saw that last semester and I thought about where the hell did this brat come from that wanted to keep his extra free time in this school."

"...Yep."

"Hahahaha now you got owned!"

"....(look at the last update).....Yep."



Can I just update this thing with my sketchbooks and texts instead of real drawings?

KFC's Buffalo Snakers taste awesome.

No Title

Incompleted sketch

......Stressed out a little bit.

After the break...

The first term made me feel peculiarly long.
But now I'm finally a 2nd term student!

Last weekend was Mother's Day.
I worked on many unsuccessful cards and none of them fitted inside my satisfactory.

....Now I feel guilty....
