going to school tomorrow is going to be hell DDDx

ETA: Getting back into RP is also difficult, for some reason. I haven’t de-hiatused either of my characters, even though I have no reason not to. x_x Maybe after I get through this week. It’ll stretch the parameters of at one least one of their downtimes, but I don’t think it’ll be that bad, as long as I definitely get them back in this week. It’s just. Vacation and then having to go to school immediately after getting back. I. don’t really have the brainjuice to do too many things right now. @_@

moar music

guesssssssssss what? It’s time for Awesomest tokusatsu BGM on my playlist!

…actually, scratch that. It’s just the Awesomest BGM on my playlist. some of them. also ignore the prefixes and sometimes I take certain liberties in translating titles ["dai kessen," which I think just means "big battle" into "explosive battle," for instance]

bouga no mai a dance in a state of trance – gekiranger
Epic. That is all.

gekitohja burning up! – gekiranger
Note that super sentai songs are often split into three (more or less) parts: this is probably so we wouldn’t end up with songs 0:50 long. Some people get annoyed at the multiple-parts-in-one-song, but personally I like it because short BGMs are short. Anyway, about this one: I love the beginning of the second part. It is awesome. And awesome. And amazing. And awesome. C:

goetsudoshuu! gekirintohja hong kong dai kessen! temporary truce! gekirintohja’s hong kong explosive battle! – gekiranger
Same as above, really. There is a pause, and then it seques into the really good stuff. :d But that is not to say only one part of the song that is epic!

hitoshizuku no kibou a drop of hope – gekiranger
Oh gods. This song makes me cry. Like, every time. ;;A;; It is sad. And epic. And sad. And epically sad. And shhfdkfhdkjfjk;bawwwwwwwwwwwwwww

yomigaetta akumu gen juken the revived nightmare, gen juken – gekiranger
There is something of an epic feel in this song, from the epic sweep of the opening notes into the degeneration of the piece into grungy rock/metal (rock-metal?). I think it perfectly captures the essence of Gen Juken, but I don’t know if listeners who have not watched the series would think about it, |D;

t.n.d orchestra attack ride – kamen rider decade
The initials stand for “The Next Decade,” which is the name of the actual song by Gackt that I don’t particularly like. But this instrumental orchestra version kicks all kinds of ass, from the sad opening parts to the upsweeping climax that I can imagine is calling Tsukasa to battle despite loss. Yea, it’s pretty awesome.

kieta kako disappeared time – kamen rider den-o
Another sad song! can anyone tell I’m addicted to sad BGMs? This one is just low-key the entire time, and yea, it does use strings and all of that “typical sad song instruments” ~eyeroll~ I mean, srsly. that’s like saying ‘this rock song has a typical rock guitar in it.’ neglecting the fact that rock is partly defined by the fucking guitar. it’s not even ‘using instruments typically found in sad songs to create a generic sad song that is neither creative, imaginative, nor evocative’. just ‘this sad song was created by the typical sad song instruments’. what the fuck are you even trying to say. but the composition is also stellar.

something treasured left behind already translated because i’m too lazy to look up what the Japanese was. OTL – shinkenger
OMG ANOTHER ONE. This one with a particular Shinkenger flavor. Also a definitive climax that Kieta Kako more or less lacked (in other words, Kieta Kako is slightly more atmospheric, Something Treasured Left Behind somewhat more of a “plot,” if you will.

they are called “samurai” – shinkenger
It’s an epic one. Shinkenger music tends to feel more “epic” than the previous Go-onger or previouser Gekiranger music, probably because Shinkenger was composed with more of a classical orchestra in mind, I think. In any case, this one, being the BGM that ‘announces’ the Shinkenger’s arrival, is more epic than even usual. It made my ears explode with it. Mostly because I turned the volume up to be surrounded by the amazingness. :DDD

kaiba gozaburo – yuugiou: duel monsters
…You know, I’ve never really understood why this song was named after this guy. Considering the first time this was ever played in the series, to my knowledge, was a Kaiba Seto-centric scene. ._. But it was the scene where Gozaburo was all “IM GONNA KILL YOUUUU” and Kaiba was “FUCK YOU BITCHHHHHHH” and slammed his hand on the button that turned the KaibaBlimp into the KaibaJet, so I guess it works. |D

kami no ikari wrath of the gods – yuugiou: duel monsters
Yuugiou God Card music. Enough said.

boundless spirit – yuugiou: duel monsters
Another one of those sad atmospheric ones. Despite its misleading name, it is not a happy or energetic song. :’(

fang of critias – yuugiou: duel monsters
Now this. This is the shit. This was originally played during the first appearance of Timaes(sp?), you know, despite the name of the song -_-; and was used during the epic scenes of the Orichalcos arc, but it was so epic, it got carried over into the Memory World arc, despite it being blatantly out of place. Laughingly out of place, considering the music specific to that arc were intermittently sprinkled with ethnic-sounding beats/instruments/techniques/leitmotifs reminiscent of the music associated with the Ishtar family. That is how epic this song is that the producers or whatev was going to rely on it to give epic scenes that epic feel. Enough of my rambling (and rampant redundancy), you are going to listen to this. NAO.

|D

so while out with tomo and momo I was all joking liek “when I get home they’ll have packed my stuff for me and then when I get home they’ll be liek ‘we packed your stuff for you’ and I’ll be like ‘did I ask you to’ and then re-pack eberything rofl”

Then I got home. And found out no one was packed. The suitcases weren’t even out.

…Either I have the most laid-back family evar or the laziest. xDDDDDDD now I know where my procrastination comes from

And now I’m off bright and early tommorow morning. If I disappear, record me as having disappeared in Bermuda. And take care of my tokusatsu magazines.

kr faiz

pfffffffft I love how Kiba in his silk jammies and Yuka sitting by his bedside makes them seem like some rich siblings or something. xDDDD

e-mail

…I gotta check my g-mail more often. @_@

btw, guess who has 89 more fics to go in fanfic100? ♥ ~shoots self in brain~ :D

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

…I just realized. Ed + Ling = wonder team Paku Romi + Miyano Mamoru.

xD

Also, add Takamine Minami(?) = Envy and Yorki = Mr. 2 (One Piece) into the mix and that is pretty awesome. :DDD Roy and Liza also sound sexy as heck.

Too bad I have next to no motivation to actually watch the series, though

because the world is totally awesome and the schoolwork gods clearly love me.

so there’s this thing called a ‘paper’ I need to have done… thank the gods I don’t need to use secondary sources
So I am just going to dump my notes here. JUST BECAUSE. grawr. >OOOO

ETA: Then I dumped all my notes here. Then wordpress fucked it all up. Thus I just spent whoever knows how long on shit I was supposed to be working on. And then lost it in half a second. Awesome.

AWESOME

for the emofag: from august to today, that’s six days.

-incessant beeping
-unable to actually walk away
-getting tired easily

ETA: for all of august, it’s about 10

Shinkenger 24

o_o This shit is gettin steamy. ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Grawr, so much love for this episode. Soooooooo muchhhhhhh loveeeeeeeee

ETA: Personally I think Ryuu still lacks personality at this point but eh. Maybe because he hasn’t had an episode centered on him for a while. He’s a little overdue for one, especially since his last one was more centered on Genta than on Ryuu, really. Also, I can has a serious issue? Mako had one about her bridal/childhood issues, Chiaki had one about his father issues, Kotoha had one about her Kotoha Syndrome, Genta had his Juuzou/customers subplot (aside from being their “engineer,” which gives him not a little bit of room), Takeru just had one about his emofag issues. Ryuu is just kind of there, at this point.

Sony Korea bundles lilac PSP with Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny

It’s interesting that Sony Computer Entertainment Korea doesn’t seem to be operating under the notion that the Lilac system is just for “girlz.”  joystiq

dd

Also: DO WANT. But getting a third PSP even if it comes with a shiny game is out of the question. Still. ;;_;;

mu-jikku! staa-to!

Prisoner by Miyano Mamoru

The drumming (bassline? idek) is a bit heavy, but I like it. Especially for this one line…guess what that line is? :D
