{Words of Songs} ~ for the translation of anime & game lyrics

A nice sounding, catchy, and upbeat song from Ikimono-gakari. The music video wasn’t that bad either. I apologize for the terrible quality PV shots but the video moves very fast.

You can download the song here and watch the PV on YouTube here.

Cat Diary

Lyrics: Ichikura Hiroshi
Composition: Kanno Yoko
Arrangement: Kanno Yoko

Wednesday (~Good morning), no matter what the month or date is, it’s sunny
Light has a light blue scent

In the cat’s diary
The number of times it took a nap is written there
In the swing’s diary
The accelerations of today and dreams that fly off are written there
In the clock’s diary
The number of times a dear person gazed it is written there
If that’s so, in my lips’ diary
The number of times they called your name is written there
one two three four five and six…

The water’s surface sways
The rings of wind spread
There’s blue electric current
Between our fingertips that touched

By now I’ve had the figma Konata (Cosplay ver.), a limited edition item from WF 2008 [W], in my house for several days. I don’t know what to do with her. I don’t have the knowledge or photography skills to do a massive product review like other hobbyists. Heck, I haven’t even made up my mind to crack the seal on the box. So for now, I just look at her for a few minutes each day and wonder about what the heck I should do with her. I guess figurines beyond Nendoroid Petits really aren’t for me.

If anyone has suggestions, please do leave a comment!
Likewise, if anyone is interested in buying Konata off me and giving her the attention that she probably deserves, I’m open to offers and you can e-mail me at digitalsekai (at) gmail (dot) com.

As promised, GSC updated its website today with the announcement of products that it will sell at Wonder Festival 2008 [Summer], which will take place on August 3rd, 2008. Among the line-up are Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (Hachune Face ver.) and figma.BP Kururugi Suzaku. Aw, bummer. No more Haruhi or Lucky☆Star. My prayers have been answered! figma Witch Yuki!

I received the Xbox-huge package today in the mail. Thank Haruhi that I didn’t have to pay customs tax on it after I forgot to remind Yuya to not indicate the actual value of the loot on the declaration form. Then again, I was at work, so my tactless brother had to answer the door and he might’ve signed away my firstborn to USPS.
