Cute & Crazy Funny Usavich!

Friday, July 25th, 2008

My friend sent a link of ウサビッチ(usavich) videos to me. Usavich is crazy cute and super funny! Love it!!! xD

Usavich 1-5

Usavich 6-10

Usavich 11-15

Usavich 16-20

Usavich 21-26

Some intro from wiki:

Usavich (ウサビッチ, Usavich?) (from Japanese うさぎ “usagi”, rabbit, with “vich” giving it faux Russian flavor) is a series of animated short films being produced for MTV Japan by Kanaban Graphics since 2006. It’s about an odd couple of rabbits imprisoned in a Russian prison. While the first season shows the absurd everyday occurrences of the two rabbits’ prison life, the second season tells the adventures of their escape and life on the run. So far, 26 episodes have been produced.

fripSide - flower of bravery (Koihime†Muso OP)

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I found this song while looking for my favorite Rekka Katakiri’s songs on niconico douga.

I was watching the video of Katakiri-sama’s Koihime Musou game OP. Then it linked to flower of bravery, which is the OP of the game’s new anime series.

I was very surprised and excited that the fripSide’s voice is very similar to Rekka Katakiri. But also very sad that Rekka didn’t had chance to sing the anime OP. =((
But at the same time, I’m happy that to know another great music group and a great song.

I love the way the MV made and all the artistic effects they use. I love her white gothic dress a lot ^______^. and I also love the way she sings and acts. There are way too many powerful-voice singers lately, flower of bravery brings me a breath of fresh air <3

oh, another thing..the kimono lolita dress she wears in the MV is made by bodyline, which is the same brand of my wa-loli dresses I wear during AX08. (pictures can be found at my photo album + youtube video ;)

I also listened fripSide’s other songs. I feel that her voice at higher range is rather weak. The singing at hi range sounds unnatural (Comparing to my favorite Rekka Katakiri who have extremely beautiful voice at all ranges.) So for higer-range parts of the songs, they always have to add a lot of electronic effects and chorus to make it better.
But everyone has their weakness, I’m still a big fan of fripSide<3<3<3, not only because of her songs. She is one of the singers that is otaku themselves and started singing as doujin singers and then become mainstream anime song singers. Just like shimotsuki and katakiri^^, and she even have her own MV made for the song. Although the anime industry is totally different in US, that is the path I wish to take. I know its very unrealistic, so as long as I can sing for otakus and make them happy, that is good enough for me <3
I’m looking forward to hear more songs from fripSide! ^-^/

Lyrics

flower of bravery
Vocals: fripSide

誰かに捧ぐ命なら 自分の境界も越えて
Dareka ni sasagu inochi nara jibun no kyoukai mo koete
今ならば ここでなら 強さに変わり 明日へ続くよ
Ima naraba koko de nara tsuyosa ni kawari asu e tsuzuku yo

忘れたい景色があり 忘れたい記憶もある
Wasuretai keshiki ga ari wasuretai kioku mo aru
渦のような迷いを絶てずに 下を向くプライド
Uzu no you na mayoi o tatezu ni shita o muku puraido
瓦礫に埋もれた光 もしもそれに気づいたら
Gareki ni umoreta hikari moshi mo sore ni kizuitara
キミはきっと 踏み出しているね 新しい扉へと
Kimi wa kitto fumidashite iru ne atarashii tobira e to

風のように 流麗な剣の舞
Kaze no you ni yuurei na ken no mai
生まれいづる天命は この手に奇跡を宿した
Umare izuru tenmei wa kono te ni kiseki o yadoshita
flower of bravery !

※真実だけを追い求め 気付けばそこにキミが居た
Shinjitsu dake o oimotome kizukeba soko ni kimi ga ita
特別な存在は いつか絆に変わる
Tokubetsu na sonzai wa itsuka kizuna ni kawaru
記憶の隅に映り込む 切り離せない悲しみも
Kioku no sumi ni utsurikomu kirihanasenai kanashimi mo
今ならば ここでなら 強さに変わり 明日へ続くよ
Ima naraba koko de nara tsuyosa ni kawari asu e tsuzuku yo

傷を負った夢の為 凍えそうな夜が来る
Kizu o otta yume no tame kogoesou na yoru ga kuru
眠らないでこのまま居たくて 星達を数えた

涙を落とす意味とか 勇気に変える仕組みを
Namida o otosu imi to ka yuuki ni kaeru shikumi o
キミはきっと 知っているはずさ その手に掴む物を
Kimi wa kitto shitte iru hazu sa sono te ni tsukamu mono o

砂を蹴って 峻烈な鈴の舞
Suna o kette shunretsu na rin no mai
守り賜へ愛しい人 我が身を振り返らぬまま
Mamori tamae itoshii hito wagami o furikaeranu mama
flower of bravery !

誰かに捧ぐ命なら 自分の境界も越えて
Dareka ni sasagu inochi nara jibun no kyoukai mo koete
その先に突き抜けた 蒼色の激情
Sono saki ni tsukinuketa aoiro no gekijou
孤独の雨が冷たいなら あの日に誓った四神を
Kodoku no ame ga tsumetai nara ano hi ni chikatta shijin o
呼び覚ませ 霊合いは時空を越えて 伝説になる
Yobisamase tamaai wa jikuu o koete densetsu ni naru

戦う事に意味は無く 守るべき者があるだけ
Tatakau koto ni imi wa naku mamoru beki mono ga aru dake
ただそれを 胸に秘め 真っ白なまま
Tada sore o mune ni hime masshiro na mama

English:

If I’m to dedicate my life to someone, then I’ll overcome my limit
If it’s now, if I’m here, it’ll turn into strength and continue into tomorrow

There are scenes that I want to forget, there are also memories that I want to forget
Without severing the swirling confusion, my pride faces downward
A light buried in rubble- If you notice it
Then certainly you’re stepping forward to the new door

The dance of my elegant sword is like the wind
The fate that was born carried a miracle in my hands
flower of bravery!

When I only pursued the truth and realized it, you were there
Our special existence will change into a bond someday
Even the inseparable sadness that reflects as a glare in the corner of my memories
If it’s now, if I’m here, it’ll turn into strength and continue into tomorrow

For the sake of a wounded dream, a seemingly freezing night comes
I wanted to stay awake and counted the stars
The structure that turns the meaning of shedding tears into courage-
Certainly you must know it, the things that you seize in your hands

The dance of harsh bells kicks the sand
Protect your dear ones, while you remain unturned
flower of bravery!

If I’m to dedicate my life to someone, then I’ll overcome my limit
My pale passion pierced ahead of there
If the rain of loneliness is cold, then awaken the four gods
That you vowed to on that day; the combination of our souls will surpass space and time and turn into a legend

Fighting is meaningless, there are only people who you must protect
Keep just that in your chest while you remain pure white

When I only pursued the truth and realized it, you were there
Our special existence will change into a bond someday
Even the inseparable sadness that reflects as a glare in the corner of my memories
If it’s now, if I’m here, it’ll turn into strength and continue into tomorrow

New Haircut?

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Yukie’s hair is getting longer..

So I’m thinking about changing my hair style maybe..

Either having some curvy hair (i love straight hair though o.o, it looks very fresh and young), straighten it, or dye it to a lighter color tone..

Any ideas??@_@a

Every since April, yukie haven’t pay attention to the lastest fashion trend until now. ^^ Also, Yukie spent too much for AX so don’t feel like go shopping at all xP

Now I’m trying to work hard and get money to support all my hobbies~ I just worked 13.5 hours today..xD||| Always keep in mind that I’m making money for new costumes, and of course my parents, also my wedding someday in the future =3
