Fluffy Fluffy Time

Lyrics: Akiyama Mio

Arrangement: Maezawa Hiroyuki

When I’m looking at you, my heart is always going B-BMP ☆ B-BMP
My wavering feelings are fluffy ☆ fluffy like marshmallows
The view of your face from the side, always working so hard-
Even if I’m looking at it all the time, you don’t notice me
Even though the distance between us can be shrunken if we’re in a dream

While being set adrift
We’re wandering, where do we go?

The nostalgic warm sky; the illusion that I drew into that dazzling scenery
Flickered and vanished into the distance

Chatting Now
Serious and noisy Never Ending Girls’ Talk

The unceasing rain carries a subtle heat
Within the pain, I say, “No, no, this isn’t it”
But…I knew
But…it felt good
I like the pitiful me

Cosplay + Katawa Shoujo

I apologize for that I have barely put up anything in the past month or so, because I’ve been quite busy with cosplay and Katawa Shoujo. I’ve been working on two costumes and I still have three or four more to go for other friends by the Anime Evolution deadline. Just as I thought I was finally finding some free time and being able to go back and write for Sankaku Complex again, Katawa Shoujo hit like a truck. I didn’t expect much from 4chan, but the game was surprisingly enjoyable, and I’d definitely play the full version when it comes out. As a result, I’ve been researching the feasibility of a Katawa Shoujo cosplay and making a bunch of fan stuff for the series. I contributed very minor things to the game back in 2007 and corrected the kanji for all of the names at one point in 2008, but I’m unsure if how much of that is still around now. I can’t remember whether I suggested anything else or not.

….Nevertheless, I still don’t understand how Hanako is so popular amongst men. She’s my least favorite heroine. My ranking goes like:
Shizune = Emi > Lilly = Misha > Rin >>> [wall] >>> Hanako

Shangri-La Opening Theme – Kimi Shi ni Tamou Koto Nakare

Rating: 8/10. ★★★★★★★★☆☆

Thou Shalt Not Die
Vocals: May’n
Lyrics: Iwasato Yuho
Composition: Honma Akimitsu
Arrangement: Honma Akimitsu

At what sort of place? With what sort of voice? “What do you want to do?”
Love is crying, isn’t it?

That’s not right
The world has long since ended
The beginning can’t be found

Umineko no Naku Koro ni UMG Vol.4: Nakanai Kimi to Nageki no Gensou DEAREST -not in sight without love- – Kono Ai o Tsugu

To Succeed This Love
Vocals: Nira Etsuko
Lyrics: Nisshi~

Like the magic I yearned for in the distant past
I was tenderly surrounded by a dazzling light
There were days when I kept shouting the song of love alone
The eternity in my chest begins to move
