God Knows

this is the original japanese song which has an english version that i performed as Haruhi Suzumiya in bunny suit at DaiCon. very meaningful lyrics, so do listen to the real song by Aya Hirano. <3

i thought i'd share it here since i still have not publish a few blog updates which are still in draft. orz. so, here is a teaser!


"God Knows" Lyrics

kawaita kokoro de kakenukeru
gomen ne nani mo dekinakute
itami wo wakachiau koto sae
anata wa yurushite kurenai
I run past you with a thirsty heart.
Sorry, I couldn't do anything-
you won't even let us
share our pain with each other.

muku ni ikiru tame ni furimukazu
senaka mukete satteshimau
on the lonely rail
In order to live purely
I face your back and leave without turning back.
on the lonely rail

watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless...
I'll follow you.
No matter where you are in the darkness of this bitter world
you will shine,
and exceed the limits of the future.
To prevent your spirit from being broken because of your weakness
you converge with my way.
Now, God bless us...

todokete atsuku naru omoi wa
genjitsu tokashite samayou
aitai kimochi ni riyuu wa nai
anata e afuredasu Lovin' you
I send my now passionate feelings-
they melt reality, then just hover there suspended.
There's no reason for me wanting to see you.
I pour my feelings into you, lovin' you

semete utsukushii yume dake wo
egakinagara oikakeyou
for your lonely heart
Let's at least imagine only beautiful dreams,
as we chase after them
for your lonely heart

yamete uso wa anata rashikunai yo
me wo mite kore kara no koto wo hanasou
watashi kakugo shiteru
kurai mirai datte
tsuyoku natte unmei kaerareru kamo ne
my wish kanaetai noni
subete wa God knows...
Stop it, lying isn't like you.
Look into my eyes and let's speak of what will be.
I'm prepared-
even for a bleak future.
Become strong and you might even be able to change fate, you know.
Though I want my wish to be granted,
God knows everything...

anata ga ite watashi ga ite
hoka no hito wa kieteshimatta
awai yume no utsukushisa wo egakinagara
kizuato nazoru
You're here, and I'm here-
all the others have disappeared.
By sketching the beauty of our fleeting dream,
we're just tracing our scars

dakara watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless...
So, I'll follow you.
No matter where you are in the darkness of this bitter world
you will shine,
and exceed the limits of the future.
To prevent your spirit from being broken because of your weakness
you converge with my way.
Now, God bless us...

Note: original song by Aya Hirano (Haruhi Suzumiya), translated lyrics from animelyrics.com. akiko (yours truly) did not edit the translation this time.

wgfai as Kyon; akiko as Haruhi.

ALIS's next blogtop for eva!

(ignore the impromtu abbreviation of autumn leaves in summer. and pardon me if you accidentally got some dirty thoughts.)

yay~ finally found some time to work on the new blogtop! after the old pinkish haruhi suzumiya no yuutsu gashapon series, i decided to take on evangelion gashapon series! unfortunately...

as luck would have it, i have several repeats of the current evangelion gashapon series.. leaving two more to go - but the one i want most is rei! anyhow, i'll upload the new blogtop without her until i get lucky - like a trade or something. unlike the previous blogtop, i edited my name to turn out embossed - due to the fact i was lazy to get the evangelion red-orange gradient right.

oh and yes, the photoshop skill was terrible coz i simply mashed four individual shots together. i dint have any group photos of them.. yet. (still hopefully waiting for rei!) btw since these are non-scaled gashapon figures, misato is actually larger than the rest of the figures. also, i dint shoot them in macro mode so the photos may turn out noise-y.

shinji and penpen

asuka langley - plugsuit

misato (and her beer can XD)

hikari~

nagato yuki - space captain!

nagato yuki - seifuku bespectacled version

random negima figurine from a random weekend vacation! XD

EDIT: not only that.. by midnight, i've completely redone the whole pinky default blogger template to a greyscale version by yours truly! i know what people think about grey, but im special! XD *wink*

Confessions of a College Girl.. II

before i move on to the actual blog post, let me upload these photos that were meant to be released in mid august.

these are my ultra dear harry potter novels coz i dont have any books more expensive than them!

the goose feather pen. my friend received the peacock feather pen and it was almost one metre long. *envy*

group photo! my beloved haruhi gashapon set I & II.

this is asakura ryoko, version: with knife.

presenting.. haruhi, version: white bunny! (i want the one with black stokings though! black/red bunny.)

XD dont ask me why do i spend money and time on these stars. i wish i knew what were the adults giggling about when they heard about me and my stars. count: 500+

i took the liberty to shoot from the cafeteria at college coz i had the camera to take a group photo as required in one of my assignments.

comiworld at cineleisure damansara on 18-19 august 2007! day 2: gundam boxes from haruhi's yellow director's 'cone' sneaky view. XD

destination: photoshoot pt2!

well, actually there wasn't an official part 1 but this is really the second shoot for my gashapon figurines. the first one saw the line up of tsuruya, mikuru and nagato of suzumiya haruhi no yuuutsu (SHNY) but i never had the photos uploaded or even edited. so, now that i have GSD gashapon collection, i decided to round them up for "part 2"!

the SOS-dan line up! a note to SHNY collectors: is there anyone wanting/willing to trade their haruhi (standard or non-standard) for a standard mikuru? (i meant the Bandai PVC gashapon.) from left: mikuru (non-standard), tsuruya (standard), nagato (non-standard). i have explained about them in memopad.co.nr, read "monitors... figures..." for reference. i only wanted haruhi.. Haruhi~~~!!! *total obsession for seifuku*

MIKURU~ help wanted. she will stay trapped in there until somebody pay (trade) me the ransom: HARUHI~! the above is a standard mikuru, so i don't mind if you trade me a standard haruhi (i absolutely don't mind the ponytail version haruhi though).

above is the group from GSD, minus lacus clyne because of two reasons. one, there were no more standing space. two, i actually forgotten to put her into the picture (literally) since she hadn't a partner to stand with. from far left, meer campbell, athrun, gilbert gwendal, taelia gladys, sting oakley and stella.

now this is lacus clyne. the only reason to start GSD collection... well, perhaps the second reason? the other reason would be meer and athrun, coz they both look so good standing next to each other! have a look:
all photographs were taken by yours truly, akiko, in wolf's studio (that's me, you half-wit). please do not steal the images! what in the world did "permission" came into existence for anyway?
