Some of the lyrics were alternate words/translations used (set off by furigana -- 眼鏡 was "レンズ" in CRAFTY, 星 was "ひとみ" in Tsukiyo no Shita de, etc.), but I couldn't type the furigana, hahaha. ><;; Also, the audio doesn't match up with the lyrics sometimes, but what I have typed is as true to the written lyrics as I could manage.
And I didn't, uh, "proofread", so errors abound. Please fix if you find any... m(_ _)m
P.S. MEBACHIKO is seriously the best song ever. Like OMG I'm not even kidding. ><

The problem with skipping out on LJ for two months is having to get caught up. I mean, I enjoy it, but my loverly friends list suffers from it. Sorry. ><
So I'll do as much as I can in as little space as possible...
Buchou~ *___* Shishido's album is really good. Like, really good. (I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to buy it once I can order stuff online.) Wintermyu is hot. Akadot Retail sent me OCEAN LINE. Kamakari goes, "Ko-Koorogi? Koorogi ya!" in his DVD. (I watched an idol DVD. Apocalypse Now, what?) I'm currently experiencing an unhappy allergic reaction to some strange facial medicine. I bought KKJ 2, Howl's Moving Castle, and My Neighbor Totoro with a large sum of paycheck money that my mother withheld from me for two years. I want the Gilmore Girls box sets. The only thing I saw of the Olympics was an hour or so of the opening ceremonies. Claire sent me a Singing Valentine "from the cast of Tenipuri". I contemplated getting fake glasses (still do; I'd probably do it if it didn't make me ridiculously pretentious). I'm getting better (less awful) at Japanese. I've forgotten everything there is to know about Spanish. Torishishi makes me so happy. I need to buy HP4. (Rupert Grint rocks my socks.) My Instrumental Ensemble ensemble kicks butt. I've already killed my computer with stuff I downloaded in one day, but I still have so much more to download. I'm trying to convince my mother to buy me Fastball's live albums (here and here), and she may be willing to do it since they're not of Japanese origin. We had a happy Indonesian dinner at Great Wall last week, and I ate some creepy-looking fish. Japanese Culture Club has made a subtle shift from "meeting after school in Kuharic's room" to "everyone coming home with me to watch anime at my house". (Which I wouldn't mind if the regulars weren't so potentially irritating.) I need to get a paid LJ account (for icons, yes). My mouth hurts.
And three pre-typed picspam posts coming your way. Right now.

o.hi.sa.shi.bu.ri de~su!! (I'll be using random Japanese in this post. It should confuse those of you who don't understand Japanese and amuse those of you who do.)
My internet went down Friday, and it feels like forever since I've sifted through LJ. I guess that's a testament to just how dependent on the computer I am, but beh. I'm sure we already knew that.
But having no internet meant not being able to do my Haverford app. Luckily, it's due today (we all have a habit of doing it the day before it's due, but really, it's due, like, 23.00 tonight, so I have time), so all I have to do is sit down and write about how it'll be nice to finally be surrounded by people bound by an honor code instead of having to deal with the moral failing that is St. Joe High School. :/
Hm, I really had more to say than this. Biiru.
Oh, yesterday was my senior picture session with the ever-fabulous Rae. I hope some pictures turned out all right. Having pictures taken of me is a bit disconcerting (I'm in no way camera shy, but having to be stoic and posey was a bit weird. Rae told me on several occasions to stop "groping the wall"). ^^;;
And I've been listening to Oishi's I~janaika a lot (I really like how Kondou sings... He's not swoon-worthy like Okiayu or nyahhrrr like Suwabe, but it's nice). What, Shishido makes a cameo appearance in a Golden Pair-shippy song?! What does this mean?! Is it a cute gathering for the semes of the Golden and Silver pairs?! Except Shishido is so uke it hurts*, so that doesn't really make sense, does it?! But it's cute. ?!
* [This is a bit PG-13 in nature, so please excuse me...] Ohtori's the seme, and you know it. He's polite (I'm in love with Namikawa Daisuke's "masen"s), but that doesn't mean he's submissive. He's quite assertive when he knows he isn't overstepping his boundaries (e.g. on the tennis court), and if he knows it's all right with his Shishido-san, he'll be aggressive in their relationship as well. Besides, Shishido absolutely adores Ohtori, so it's not like he wouldn't let the boy do stuff to him.
If Ohtori were voiced by Hoshi Souichiro(the ultimate "slutty uke" voice), it'd be different, but he's not, so my logic still stands. XD
But yeah. Mou ii...
One last thing.
( Feel free to shoot me for this. )
And if you haven't taken a shot at my favorites meme, go ahead and do so (I'm obsessed, so sue me). There are a few glaringly obvious ones still lying around. ^^

A silly conversation with Ayu-chan today got me rewatching some of my favorite Tenipuri episodes (instead of studying... Ayu-chan, you're such a bad influence! >_>).
So a screenshot.
( Hyoutei is love. )
But seriously, Gakuto really is just too cute.

As a foreword, I'm not big on shipping the actual actors. I mean, obviously I like it when they're friends and all (and really, it's cute when friends hang out), but going beyond that is usually a bit too "eh" for my taste.
And really, much of the reason people ship particular actors together is because their characters are omfgsomarried. Certainly the actors get to be good friends because their characters necessitate it, but that doesn't mean that the actors themselves are shippable.
</soapbox>
But yeah, I have a few screenshots I'd like to direct your attention to... And yes, they have to do with Date and Kamakari, because as much as I preach, I can't help but think they're cute together. As friends.
[SILVER PAIR = OTP!]
( HyouMyu full-cast bow outs ("spoilers"?) )
kthx.

Certainly not to type up this stupid essay. I mean, seriously, am I supposed to sit here and brown-nose for 500 words?
And yes, I'm saving the Princeton application for tomorrow... And I still have to figure out what I did my last two summers, 'cause I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything like "finding a lost colony of dinosaurs" or "saving kittens in the rainforest" (or even "working in a biochem lab").
/me is so gonna die...
But holy crap, the photosets look fabulous, and Go! Go! Meganes has to be the awesomest song I've ever heard. Hahahahaha XDD
Ironic how my insane fandoms keep me sane...
Edit: Go! Go! Meganes may be tied with MEBACHIKO. Kansai-ben, nyaaaaaar...

Dec. 27th, 2005 06:30will you marry me?
I'd give several limbs (mine, even!) just to meet someone like him. And Adrien Brody, dayum... I need to watch The Pianist some day. My mom had the DVD with her the other day, but I don't know if it's ours or if she was going to give it to someone for Christmas. ._.
And otherwise, I've been trying to decide whether I like Erabareshi elite syuudan or Koori no Emperor better. They're both really good, interesting songs with nice choreography. And one has KENN while the other has Kamakari, so it's not like I can base it on that, either. >< It'd be one bizarre song if they had Yuuta and Shishido (and even MoriEiji!Momo, even though he's not a great singer and he already graduated...) singing together for absolutely no reason, but I think that'd be the only way to really appease me.
Hm. "Such is my life." XD
P.S. I hope you all realize that I'll be shamelessly spamming your friends lists once my photosets and photobook (if I can get it... *stares hopeful holes into Akadot Retail*) come in. Heck, why haven't I spammed with *pnish* scans yet? I think I'll go do that...

Sleeping in due to terrible headaches and mild nosebleeds; Much Ado work with Sarah M., Claire, Rachel P., Nicole, Caroline, and Paj; Nutcracker with Beth (joined by Cait & Co., profuse cheering for Sarah J., who's all happy and bendy XD)... I'd say it's been a good day.
And I promise I'll get to the story about how I broke my nose sometime soon. Another teaser: "I hit it on a kid's knee." -_-;;
I have about a minute before my computer shuts down, so I just want to say right now that Oshitari rapping in Kansai-ben is so hot.

Dec. 3rd, 2005 20:38Catching up on memes now that I have my own computer back, yay (there's also that "ten things you want to tell other people" meme, but I'll do that later). And there's also the matter of quickly commenting on the Hyoutei myu, so that's the second cut if you want to go straight there.
( only a couple of memes, actually... )
( Hyoutei myu (microscopic spoilers) )
And with that said, it's time to turn my attention to the TV. Inspector Gadget (i.e. Matthew Broderick (in the simple words of Caitlin, "ORGASM!!")) is on TV now, and even though my dad's switching channels, the other thing he's watching is volleyball. I really can't complain.

So there was some obnoxious guy on animemp3s.org. Extremely obnoxious... He used someone else's avatar (original artwork, even!) as his own, making as if he worshipped the person whose avatar he stole, and he typed in nothing but s00p3r-i113gib13 l33t-speak. He was really annoying and somewhat offensive in his posts (e.g. he constantly asked how he could be an administrator, and even his username had "raper" in it). As it turns out, however, he's heading to Iraq in a little bit, and he wanted to have a little bit of fun before he went. He explained it all (in intelligent, legible English) in his last post.
So yeah. Though I wouldn't have chosen a different way to "have fun", I guess people have different ways of unwinding in times like these. It's tough to remember that sometimes.
And on that relatively solemn note, I figured that, since today's my last day of being 17 (by the way, Cherrii, thanks for the e-card... it was cute <3), I'd post one last random [underage] fangirly picture (not that that means I'm finished with these forever... it's just that it's somehow less wrong when I'm 18...? I dunno. It's a milestone, okay?). It's not of MoriEiji or of KENN, though... It's of Miyano, who plays a couple characters (including Fudomine's Ishida). I just happen to like this shot... it's so GQ.
( O_O )
Miyano sings well, but he tends to hold his notes a lot longer than the rest of the Fudomine myuers, so whenever they're singing together, he ends up sticking out anyway. ^^;;
So yeah, I was going to do this whole scheme where I upload all of Fastball's albums and have you guys download and comment on the songs, but I'd forgotten that I deleted the albums from my computer, and I don't have time to rerip them. -_- But yeah, the next time you'll hear from me, I'll be legal. Not that I'll feel any older. I mean, my elbow can already predict the weather... since I already have that, there won't be much difference in how I live my life.

Oct. 25th, 2005 20:18I seem to like doing the showing-off-of-e-mails thing.
( To: Andika )
"Spainese" and "Japanish" are his words, not mine. And yes, I did send him an e-mail in Spanish and Japanese. It was all wrong, but it was fun to write. ><

October 2nd is Scandia's birthday. Dunno if I ever said it, though, so happy belated birthday! ^^;;;;;;;;
October 3rd is MoriEiji's birthday. <333 He's so funny... ><;;
October 4th is Atobe's birthday, and as a tribute to his wonderful voice, I'm using a little clip of his "ore-sama no BIGI ni yoi na" when I start up my computer (and if you're curious, I'm using a clip of MoriEiji saying some stuff I don't understand but sounding really cool as my shutdown clip). :D
October 7th is Tezuka-buchou's birthday. Love for Buchou, people, love for Buchou~...
October 10th is Ayu-chan's birthday, even though she refuses to tell people because she's afraid of people forgetting or whatever. -_-
October 11th is Mrs. Chismar's birthday, and we all ("all" as in me, Beth, Claire, and Bobby) remember that amazingly happy-fuzzy Econ Elite moment we had after school - Danny brought cake and candles, and we all gathered in Mrs. Chismar's office, huddled around her desk (all nine of us) while we sang her happy birthday.
October 14th is Alan's birthday! I spent the day using up my eighteen "Alan's face" comments. (Beth can tell you the tale about the last one, which I promised would be nice and ended up being something insane like "Alan's face is heaven." XDD)
There are lots of other awesome birthdays in October (and if someone reading this also has an October birthday and I didn't mention it/forgot it/got the date wrong, sorry!!), but the best is yet to come. Yes, oh, yes, my glorious eighteenth is coming up this weekend, so I'm getting my parents to buy me stuff. Well, buy me more stuff (my mom got me the latest Series of Unfortunate Events book (suhweet!), but I can't read it yet since I haven't read the previous eleven... XD Additionally, Diki got me a stuffed neko-Kyo ("nekyo"? XD) from Furuba and the first Yotsuba&! graphic novel... it's amazingly cute and funny, but predictably, it's cheesy-stupid Azumanga humor that isn't terribly sophisticated and is sometimes difficult to appreciate since it's so... stupid)... So yeah, since my quest for birthday gifts is neverending, I decided to look up the *pnish* panic days photobook (I want it!!!! ><), but I could only find it on websites that export from Japan as opposed to importing into the US before shipping domestically. What does that leave me with?
1. Don't get *pnish* panic days because my parents don't want to deal with the shipping even though the book itself is, like, $17. And so what if the shipping is 2-3x the actual cost of the book? It's for a good cause!! [insert selfish pout here]
2. Find some domestic store that'll special order it for me so that I can get it eventually.
You know me. I'm not a watch-as-it-happenser, I'm a make-it-happener.
( To: productmaster@akadot.com )
I thought the textbook "to whom it may concern" line was good... Maybe they'll actually take me seriously (again, you know me... it's tough for me to be completely serious in writing).
But yeah, in other news, I was sick yesterday. Really sick. Dreadfully sick. Woke-up-at-four-but-literally-started-sobbing-because-I-couldn't-move-a-frickin'-muscle-and-pull-myself-out-of-bed-to-go-to-the-bathroom-till-six sick. Wrenched-my-screaming-body-back-into-bed-and-called-my-dad-downstairs-via-cellphone-begging-him-to-bring-me-water-and-medicine sick. Was-cold-on-my-bed-but-couldn't-raise-my-arms-enough-to-get-more-cuddled-under-the-covers sick. Writhed-in-bed-from-a-throbbing-headache-and-a-terrible-fever-and-achey-Lupusiness-when-I-could-move-several-hours-later sick.
I haven't been that sick in a while.
Mercifully, my parents let me recover at home today. Mommy and Daddy went to Purdue yesterday (that's how they delivered Diki's presents for me) and got me pizza on the way home, and Mommy also got me cream of broccoli soup (one of my favorites) for lunch today.
Lupus sucks, but it's nice to be so extremely pampered sometimes. ^^;;
Oh, one more thing, for everyone out there who returns my love for you (and dude, if I don't love you, WTF are you doing reading my LJ?):
Happy National Friendship Week!
Even though there is no such week. National Friendship Day, though, is August 4th. =^_^=

Oh, one more thing, for everyone out there who returns my love for you (and dude, if I don't love you, WTF are you doing reading my LJ?):
Happy National Friendship Week!
Even though there is no such week. National Friendship Day, though, is August 4th. =^_^=
Unfortunately, not everyone has had as wonderful a day as I have. If it's any consolation, I was crying during Physics yesterday... ~_~
But I get to finish off a nice day by shutting myself off from the world and studying chemistry for six hours in living, breathing anticipation of the SAT IIs tomorrow! YAY!
Finished the Kantou Tournament Seigaku/Hyotei match today (which finishes at episode 68)... yeah, only 110 episodes to go, right?
POT is so~ addictive.
But yeah, before the sinful-for-various-reasons (>_>), four-episode Tezuka/Atobe match, there was episode 64, the first (super-hilarious) SD episode. I decided to make a new icon from it (chibi Tezuka, hanya~n) and base my LJ color scheme around it.
Heh, I used to be afraid of the color orange. >_>
( And now for some Tenipuri screenshot spam... (spoilers up to episode 68) )
Heh, enough of that. Sorry. ><

Not me... ><
So I got my Nakajima Atsuko artbook back from Ping a week or so ago (and I ordered her other two artbooks on Saturday... I wonder when they'll come in *anxious-anxious*), and I was thinking, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I actually knew what all of this stuff said?"
So I picked one of my favorite images in the artbook (yes, the oh-so-homoerotic one of Ban and Ginji against a watery light-blue background with Ginji wearing just a white oxford (no pants) and Ban behind him with his hand down Ginji's shirt, etc.; and the chains, oh the chains...) and decided to translate the blurb about it.
It took me about 1:30 (that's hours:minutes) to translate the first sentence (and by "translate" I mean "look up the kanji, cross-reference a couple kanji/Japanese-English dictionaries, and piece it all together"). It'd be so much easier to do if I could read kanji (or if the publishers believed in furigana ~_~), but as it stands, I have to meticulously search for each one.

*(or equivalent; means "down, lower")
Very roughly (or at least I figured out what all the words mean!): "The magazine that published this illustration actually wanted me to draw even lower!"
Funny, though, that Animage (the magazine that published it) didn't actually publish the full image - the image in the artbook goes lower than the Animage image (and neither is actually inappropriate... besides the whole oh-so-homoerotic thing). So yeah, I may have completely missed the point of that sentence. -_-;; Anyone out there who can actually translate that sentence properly?
But yeah, I continue ever so diligently with my Tenipuri kick. Ayu-chan and I need to watch Tenimyu 2 sometime this week (whenever I get a chance; which is probably never, with how my mommy's being about the computer*). And I've just realized that TakiEiji has the easiest job. I mean, all he has to do to be Tezuka-buchou is to 1) be incredibly hot and 2) have dramatic stage presence. He's naturally 50% of his requirements, so he doesn't have to work hard at all.
But seriously, the myu fellas all have my eternal gratitude and appreciation. They're so awesome. ><
As for the anime, I've gotten to the end of season 2 (I guess)... Episode 54 (the episode where Kaidoh trains with Inui, from the looks of the preview) is up next, but before I can get going on that, I need to get my files moved to the other computer so that my dad can transfer this hard drive to a newer computer (complete with DVD-ROM). Such work ahead of me...
*So yeah, as you may know, my computer is now officially downstairs (i.e. not really my computer anymore), and it automatically shuts down at 10:00 (10:05, if you want to get technical; it gives me a 5-minute warning at 10:00), even if I have a paper to write or something. Now Mommy has the gall to tell me that I can't use the computer during the week, even if I already have all my homework/violining/etc. finished. Her rationale? "I see you on the computer too much."
What? I mean, seriously. What? If I finish studying and doing everything I have to do, I should be allowed some free time to myself, right? But she's convinced that, since I'm "constantly on the computer", I haven't studied at all, and I'm not worried at all about my future. ~_~ So yeah, we'll see how this goes, but as it stands, my computer time is dwindling further and further into oblivion.
Oh, Tezuka-buchou, save me... ;_; BTW, since gorgeousness.net is officially lost forever to the domain-name monsters of the intarweb (;_;), I'm thinking of getting a new domain for my gness.net collective ('haps I can get my daddy to buy it for me for my birthday): www.tezuka-buchou.net.
So yeah, DIBS. Step up off, yo.

Diki sap and updates
Aug. 24th, 2005 23:43I just got an e-mail from Diki. Sappy as all hell (he said that he didn't say what he wanted to say earlier (i.e. Leave Diki at Purdue Day) because he was too tired and too "embarassed" (oh, valedictorian...) to). I don't feel like posting it, since it's really personal, but I'll just say that I'm so sobbing right now (even moreso than that time he gave me an insanely sappy Christmas card (said card is buried somewhere in my messy hellhole of a room; I think I'll look for it, find it, read it, and cry a lot this weekend)). ~_~ I don't know how to respond to it, either, 'cause whenever he does something nice to me and I start crying, he's usually around to look a bit "embarassed"/happy before flicking me on the arm or something.
He's usually pretty shy about being nice to me, but he's always been there for me, even if he didn't feel like saying so (for example, when I had my solo with the orchestra, the Side-by-Side high school players couldn't watch and had to wait in the nearly soundproof back room for me to finish; Diki would never have told me, but Elizabeth said that she and Diki were pressed against the back room doors, listening to my solo even though they couldn't watch me. It sounds so simple, but it made me so happy to hear that).
I really miss having Diki around the house... ;_; In reality, I don't leave my room a lot, so I don't see him around the house too often except on weekends, but getting a drink in the middle of the night and seeing Diki's open door across the hall as opposed to seeing it in its usual shut-and-locked position... it's something that takes getting used to.
But yeah, for those of you who know him well enough to care, he's doing great. He apparently has something of a "cushy" (his word) schedule, and happily for him, he found someplace to play Magic: The Gathering with his other geek friends every Friday.
( Which reminds me of a bash quote... )
But yeah, that was my little "missing Diki" interlude for the night. When I told Claire that I cried on Leave Diki at Purdue Day, she was like, "Haha, why? Are you going to miss him or something?" all incredulously and stuff (heartless biotch!! lolzerz, j/k!!!). I explained that I'd started crying anyway upon seeing my mommy in tears, which is true (what makes it even more tragic is that she was so reluctant to leave; we'd just gotten back from dinner, and she told Diki to go take a shower, and we'd be waiting for him in his room after he was finished; I asked her what the point of waiting for him to finish a shower was, and she was like, "Oh, that's right, we have nothing else to do here... I guess we should go, then..." and she started crying), but I probably would have cried without my mom's help anyway. ;_; Everyone deserves a Diki in their lives (or at least a bond like the one Diki and I have). I hate to admit it, but he really is one of my best friends.
Okay, so that was my little "missing Diki" interlude. In unrelated news:
I've been on a Tenipuri kick lately (obviously), and between my "missing Diki" bouts this weekend, I'm hoping to knock down at least 20 episodes.
School's fun (I love school), and this semester is going to be my easiest semester ever; one study hall, one audited class, computer science, and theology, which basically leaves me with three "serious" classes that I'll actually have to work in (physics, calc BC (I didn't wimp out like the rest of you; not you, Bridge... it's not your fault your school is stupid ><), and Brit Lit).
Oh, fun tidbit about calc: We dropped from 14 to 11 in one day. Keep in mind, though, that four of those are the independent study geeks (gotta love 'em!) in the back, so we officially have seven people in our class. Sarah M. and I had estimated 10, but I guess we were being optimistic.
Time to organize my school supplies and finish my homework.
Oh, but before that, don't forget...

No, seriously, read it even if you don't care about anime/manga/otakuism. It's fun.
I just finished watching the first Tenipuri musical with (well, at the same time, in our respective corners of the world) Ayu-chan (the infamous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
datenshi_blue). Now, for anyone who doesn't know what Tenipuri (Prince of Tennis) is, here's the basic outline: Tennis prodigy Echizen Ryoma gets a regular spot on the team of one of the most prestigious tennissing schools (as in, schools that play tennis) in the Kantou region, Seishun Gakuen (Seigaku). Almost entirely male cast. Much male-male innuendo and slashiness ensues; each character is slashable with about 3+ others (and it's all canon). It is, as Ayu-chan's said before, a "crack series", and the fangirls (myself included) love it.
I've only watched the first season and some odd episodes, but that's enough to be able to watch the first musical, which just outlines Ryoma's rise to Seigaku regularity. Included are pictures of the crowd at the end of the musical. I've counted all the men in the enormous crowd. Eight.
( onto the pictures~ )
And seriously, since Claire (heh, got you to read this part, didn't I?) looks so unfavorably upon finding anime characters attractive (well, hello? they're drawn to be perfect! psh, girl... *flicks wrist metrosexually*), I've also taken a happy screencap of Takigawa Eiji, the actor who plays Tezuka.
( Tezuka-buchou~ )
"Makoto ni, makoto ni, makoto ni arigatou gozaimasu!" (augh, Suwabe-sama~) to Ayu-chan, my Tenipuri senpai and resident Tenipuri maniac at Conclave and Shinsen. Without her past (and future, if I can help it :D) guidance, I would never have encountered the pure fangirl joy that is Tenipuri.
