百合の世界

「悲しみ…
たとえ僅かな光生まれても　嘆きは繰り返す
それはまるで嘘のように　消える真実
たとえ最後の羽を開いても　運命(さだめ)は変えられず
百合の花は儚げに　痛みは消えない
夢なら愛したままで

悲しみ…
たとえどんな終わりを描いても　心は謎めいて
それはまるで闇のように　迫る真実
たとえどんな世界を描いても　明日は見えなくて
それはまるで百合のように　汚れを知らない
願いは透明なままで」

Japanese people reciting German poems?!

  • Nov. 28th, 2009 at 12:24 AM
omg lol
I have been helping out a friend from WIC with a poem he has to recite in a German speech contest tomorrow.
After I translated the poem to him (his German is very basic), he realized why his teacher was laughing so evilly when she made him choose it.

The poem goes:

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.

Aus meinen Thränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.

Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk’ ich dir die Blumen all’,
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.

If anyone wants a translation, I'm waiting for your request. xD

I really like his new single, especially the title song, "Loveless", and "After the rain". <3

flumpool again!

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 5:57 PM
YES!
I just went to the combini to look if the Garnet Crow tickets were finally up for pre-order, which they weren't, BUT!
I bought a ticket for the Amuse Act Against Aids event on December 1st in Budoukan! So flumpool are there, and Satou Takeru as well!!! <3 Yahoo!!!!! (It cost me 5.500 Yen, but hell, when will I get the chance to see Satou Takeru live again? That's why I did baito* and saved before I came here, right?)

*For those of you learning Japanese, the funny thing about the word (aru)baito is that the German word Arbeit where baito was derived from means not your part-time job, but your real, serious work.

Lotte Fit's are really tasty, btw. I finally bought some in honour of Take-chan. xD
But I'll never buy milk tea again. It tastes like it looks. Buwah!

People are stupid

  • Nov. 8th, 2009 at 9:34 PM
damn!
Yesterday, I got a message on Skype from a guy who was searching for friends in Tokyo. How about, hm, stepping outside your door?
I had gotten a message earlier this week from a guy who wanted a girlfriend. How about, hm, stepping outside your door (and stop being a creep on the internet)?!

Today, some random dude added me on msn. And then it came:
Him: Who are you?
Me: Who are YOU?!
Him: I'm X, and you?
Me: Why did you add me if you don't know me?!
Him: Just for fun.
Me: Good bye.
Him: Fuck you, cunt.

So I blocked him and reported him to the msn authorities.

What is with all those people?!

And after I had finally lost this one guy on last.fm who was trying to convert me to Christianity and make me believe in Creatinionism (yes, he was American), a new guy pops up. If I would like to add him, because he can see I "like JPop." He listed a couple of artists from my library, which kinda creeped me out because I hadn't listen to Every Little Thing or Do As Infinity for ages, and both only a few times either.
So I wrote back, saying I didn't really listen to those artists, and I don't like the term JPop either because it just makes it seem that all Japanese music is one same genre, which it isn't (of course.)
Here's his answer:
I see here that you really heard DAI, 9 times 深い森 the album Deep Forest and 2 times 真実の歌 album True Song. Every Little Thing Have you heard 9 times 愛の歌 and 2 times Ai no Uta album Many Pieces. Then you should see something wrong, because indeed, you heard these two bands. About the term "JPOP, many artists consider themselves jpop, so that I'm not saying it is true or not, it is interesting to note different bands in their genres, sub genres but may complicate rather her understanding, that is, I have no problem classify them as JPOP since all these bands have these characteristics in his music.

I don't understand even half of his entry, but one thing is clear: He doesn't know a thing about Japanese music. (And the Every Little Thing comment makes clear he doesn't know Japanese either. What an idiot.

All those things together (and the latest entries on Pottersues) really make me weep for humanity.

My neighbourhood star

(s)hitsuji
When I got back home on Tuesday, I heard some music from a nearby building.
It was an old B'z song, "Love Phantom" and at first I thought someone had left the radio on very loudly. But when I got nearer, I realized there was no music and only a guy singing - in front of someone's apartment door. (His girlfriend's? xD) His voice really sounded like the original! I couldn't see much of him, but he seemed to be quite handsome.

Actually, I had wanted to clap or kinda tell him that I really liked his voice (although he only kept singing the choruses of Love Phantom and Ichibu to Zenbu), but before I could say anything, he went inside. ;___;

I kinda became a fan. xD

Got my hair cut!

omg lol
I got a haircut, perm and treatment today (and now I'm poor), and put this as my facebook status.
One of my Japanese friends: "So you got cute now!"
Thank you! >_____<
Me: "So I wasn't cute before?!"
Ippei: "You're always nice. But your profile pic is too nice."
*mega drops*
Well, he's right, though. How did I manage that pic?!

I tried to take a pic, but my webcam is crappy and with artificial light, it makes me look like a ghost. ^^;

Julie was so friendly and translated GC's new album. She also linked to Sagan's wikipedia site - and I went like, "AH!"

I read his book about Brahms ages ago (because my sister recommended it), but his most famous work might be "Bonjour Tristesse".
Garnet Crow : "Hello Sadness" <---> Sagan's "Bonjour Tristesse"

I love the new (old) Pokémon game, HeartGold! I'll definitely get SoulSilver as well, but the German version.

They made a really good remake of the old games, as far as I can tell. The soundtrack has been refreshed, but basically stayed the same, and the towns got a new design, but are still recognizable. And damn, I love how you can hear the sound of the waves now!

My only worry now is that I still cannot save or transport my Pokémon from the old Silver version - my Eevee level 96 and so on. What if the battery dies, which happens to most Silver and Gold games sooner or later? Noooooooooooooo!


Damn, need to study. I already made my way until the fourth town in only one day. Yabai!

Pokemon!

  • Oct. 31st, 2009 at 9:14 PM
YES!
I went to the Pokemon Center today (after I searched for like two hours ^^;) and bought Pokemon HeartGold! Finally!
Plus the really cute beanie Chikorita and a Cyndaquil plushie, a DS plastic wrap thingy with a Chikorita on it, a Chikorita stylo and a Chikorita cell phone strap, plus some other stuff like a Squirtle figure. I spent almost 10.000 Yen! >____<
I have to go back there before November 23 to get the Mew they're gonna distribute, and then in December for the special Eeveelution campaign. <3 (Money, where art thou?!)

Ha, I love my cute little Chikorita in the game! How it always follows me and makes cute faces. <3
And I like the PokeWalker as well. Need to go jogging more often. xD

Now excuse me, I have to train for my first gym badge.

Birth month meme!

(I was actually supposed to be born on June 6 instead of May 11. ^^;)

Stolen from [info]aya_3003


MAY

Stubborn and hard-hearted Ahem... Probably. ^^;
Strong-willed and highly motivated. Depends. If it's something I really hate, I don't have a lot of motivation. (Procrastination is June's trait, right?)
Sharp thoughts. I shouldn't watch so many detective dramas. xD
Easily angered. Unfortunately, that's true.
Attracts others and loves attention. Where else should a middle child get attention?
Deep feelings. Good and bad ones. Sucks sometimes.
Beautiful physically and mentally.  I wish. ^^;
Firm Standpoint. And we're back to stubborn and argumentative.
Needs no motivation. "When I finish this report, I can have ice cream!"
Easily consoled. Depends.
Systematic (left brain). Probably. I am not as artsy as I want to be.
Loves to dream. How else should you spend boring lessons?
Strong clairvoyance. Dunno?
Understanding. But even if I understand someone's problem doesn't mean I agree or want to support them. Okay, 90% of the time I do.
Sickness usually in the ear and neck.  And the back.
Good imagination. *daydreams"
Good physical.  Pht.
Weak breathing. You should see me when I'm jogging. ^^;
Loves literature and the arts. Definitely.
Loves traveling.  If only I had more money... >___<
Dislike being at home. Er, no? I love to laze around in my room.
Restless. Only when I want to sleep.
Not having many children. If I had some, I'd be in trouble. But I want two in the future - is that not enough?
Hardworking.  Well, if you don't have the brains, you need to be zealous. No, actually, I would rather not study that much.
High spirited. Maybe?
 Spendthrift. Who spend 10.000 Yen on flumpool goods last week?!

( other months )

I don't really agree with all that. My brother was born in February and he is not humble at all. (Yet again, he was supposed to be born in January.)

Hairy problems

  • Oct. 24th, 2009 at 7:30 PM
please!
I just browsed through some mags at my way back from Gospel choir, and somehow, every actor I like did something weird to his hair.

MatsuJun - what's with the back-combed gel style?

Mizushima Hiro - the beard?!

KimuTaku - just cut it already before it gets longer than mine!

And, to top it off:
Yanagishita Tomo went from nice black hair to... a blond perm. WHY?!?

Has anyone ever used https://www.ticket.co.jp? Is it a good site?
I want to get a Garnet Crow ticket, and they offer some starting from 5,000 Yen. I wonder if they're reliable, though.
Plus, I've been trying to register for ages now and it won't accept my address! What's wrong with the way I typed it?

flumpool!!! <3

  • Oct. 23rd, 2009 at 11:48 PM

I just came back from Budokan where I listened to a flumpool concert! My tension is high!!!

For a band that only had their major debut last year, filling the whole concert venue two evenings in a row is really something! (90% of the guests were girls, it seemed. xD)
Of course, they still need to improve a lot, like Ryuta's microphone interaction, but wow!
I ended up buying the jacket and a T-shirt and a wrist band and their pamphlet. Now I'm broke for this month. ^^;
But wow, really! It's actually the first time I was able to see a band I really like live, as I mostly only listen to Japanese music and most of the artists I like don't come to Europe. Speaking of that, I must, must, must get tickets for the Garnet Crow tour! The one for next month is already sold out (anyone wants to offer me a ticket?), but they'll have another one in February! 10th Anniversary! I MUST go, no matter what it takes. (Should check Yahoo auctions if nothing else helps. Oh, money... >___<)

Anyway, flumpool are awesome! The members interacted really well, Ryuta was cute as ever <3 and their songs become better and better (frame <3). Plus, they announced an album that will be released exactly two months from today. (Christmas present, anyone?) I wonder if I should go to their next tour as well - there's even a date on my birthday. Who knows when I'll have the chance to see them again?!

So, everyone, check them out at youtube! Buy their new, first full album, "What's flumpool?", on December 23!
Good night!

Btw, a  HUGE thanks to  [info]murderwinks - without I woulfn't have been able to experience this. Tell me if I can ever return the favor.

Got the evening off

It feels like I haven't posted for ages! 

(Btw, there seems to be a translation major for German, English and Japanese at the University of Zürich. O_o)

As I nearly fainted in my last class today and haven't been feeling well since last week, actually, I decided to skip the daily WIC routine and go see the dorm's nurse instead. I mean, if they offer that service, why not use it?
So I went to see her, and after she checked my blood pressure etc., she told me it was probably just exhaustion from studying too much and still not being adjusted to the new lifestyle fully etc. She gave me some kind of relaxation herbal pills and said I should drop by again next week, but she doesn't think I have something serious. (I don't think so, either, I'm probably just really, really stressed. I mean, when I look at my schedule and my past entries...)
So now I think I might watch the last two episodes of Pride and then go to bed. On Thursday, I only have classes in the afternoon, so I should be fine even if the medicine knocks me out for a while. ^^;

I just wonder how I should keep from stressing myself too much, as I have a test nearly every freaking day. >___<

I haven't translated anything since I got to Japan, and since I listened to this song in the first week of my classes here a lot (yeah, the first week was really hard), I thought I'd share it with you people.
Although I'm in Japan now, my translations still suck, sorry! ^^;

Writer's Block: The one that got away

Do you believe in the concept of a soulmate? Do you think you've met him or her? Do you ever worry that "the one" got away?


View 1845 Answers


I do believe in soulmates, but where is mine??
I don't think I've met him yet (unless he disguises himself very well), but I should meet him soon, right? I'm getting old and I don't want to be alone forever. ^^;

But maybe I have to be alone until I find the one special person? Who knows...
