I must be dreaming tonight.
We erase it from our memories
You can’t escape
I only know this secret with you

Now I’ll set
my hidden feelings free
to sever myself
from the reality that returns to nothingness
being
Vocals: KOTOKO
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition: KOTOKO
Arrangement: Takase Kazuya
Your heartbeats throb, so choose the present world where we touch each other
Advance to the end of time
Alone, I whispered to the night with an empty sky
The words of “see you again tomorrow”
I yearned for strength and eternity
that are like the burning, revolving sun shining on me

I close my eyes and feel my heartbeats
Struggling within the fog, I’m searching for my own place
Blindly today, for all this time

Shake yourself free and stand up!!

I pray to the heavenly stars; the dreamlike time stops…
Will it reach you someday?
A tangled voice filled with blank spaces
The Scarlet Sky

Lyrics: Kawada Mami
Composition: Nakazawa Tomoyuki
Arrangement: Nakazawa Tomoyuki & Ozaki Takeshi
And when this sky comes again to dye me red, I’ll just advance by myself
Even the people passing by, even the things that have gotten lost
Will be vanishing memories someday
‘Strength’ flickering hotly, ‘weakness’ shaking faintly-
They’ll meet the same end after all

Unrealistic words
Seem to be fulfilling countless dreams
The shape of the future that dwells there
Is in your eyes that shined faintly
I own three pieces of Cospa goods: the Shana pendant and Haruhi armband described below and a pair of Chobits Chi ears. In this post, I’m only reviewing the first two since the Chobits ears are currently disassembled.
Starting with the Shana pendant, I’m slightly disappointed to see that the resin ‘stone’ in the center is more of a dull gray when held up to a light. I was kind of hoping that it’d be more reddish, but it does look exactly as shown on the Cospa website. It’s slightly translucent and mobile within the binding, which adds faithfulness to the original. The chain is also a nice, long length (unlike bootlegs) and balances the pendant perfectly so that it doesn’t constantly flip from one side to the other. Like aforementioned, the pendant is currently sold out again on Cospa, after re-release for Shana II, but they are taking preorders for a May release this year. Cost: 2,940 yen ($27.26)
Final product rating: ★★★★☆

BLAZE

Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition: Takase Kazuya
Arrangement: Takase Kazuya
There’s no day that won’t break
Even if darkness surrounds it heartlessly
While I’m still incomplete, I’ll slash it apart
There’s no day that won’t end
Even if I’m worried about the absurdity of today
The flame of my chest is here and it doesn’t seem to extinguish
Kyon is very displeased that he is not in focus.
Yuya visited me today and dropped off a bunch of goods from Japan, including a bundle of Cospa group order items. I personally only got a Shakugan no Shana “Alastor” Cocytus pendant (currently sold out again on the site) and Nendoroid Petit “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” Kyon (Yare Yare version). Unfortunately, I forgot my camera at home on the other side of the country, so I have to make do with my cellphone camera. I won’t be able to take any good photos until May, unless I borrow a camera from a friend.

In the world that I see again
There is dust, afterimages, and faint shadows
You have the determination to carry everything
On your valiant back

Quarreling and sharing-
Because they only belong to us who overcame our special boundary line
You’re having that face; I don’t want to just look at you anymore
I’ll dash through the triangle maze

I just watched the movie, and oh wow, this insert song was extremely suitable for the scene…
Red Tears

Lyrics: Kawada Mami
Composition: Nakazawa Tomoyuki
Arrangement: Nakazawa Tomoyuki
A city dyed by the sunset sky and your face from the side-
What are you thinking about, what are you looking at, what are you feeling?
For instance, if we can’t see our future ahead
Then I’ll grip your hand and we’ll run endlessly
