KANJI

作詞・作曲・編曲／橘 尭葉

生まれながら負いし　罪で在るが故に
論理 、背徳感　恐れる事無かれ
抑え切れぬ衝動からの
語り掛けに身悶える

鏡映す姿　倒錯するほどに
偽装映し出して　眩暈がするほどに
無神経な貴方達は
何故に「真実だけを」と映すのか

身をえぐる　カタルシス

其れならばいっそ心に添えて
この身体淨化すればいい
拒絶への悲願　進化の啓示
樟脳の香るセルロイド

銀の髪と紅く深いガラスの眼で
作り上げた似せて非ナル私へ
生まれ変わる時が来ると疑えずに
そっと撫でて抱いた人形への焦がれ

人で在るが故の　絶えて消えぬ欲に
比例、加算された何ガロンもの憂鬱
ずれた価値を責める抑圧
耐え難きし干渉者よ

あと少し　完全な　器へと

すげ替えた身体壊れる日まで
老いる事も無く美しく
拒絶への悲願　進化の繭と
暖かさ棄てたセルロイド

黒のドレスからはずっと求めていた
細く華奢な四肢がしなやなに伸び
白のレース揺らしそっと歩き出すの
思い描いていた孤高の創世へ

銀の髪と紅く深いガラスの眼で
作り上げた似せて非ナル私を
縛るモノも責めるモノも有りはしない
孤独だけが私癒し続けて往く

At last, Kokou no Sousei lyric! I've longed for the lyric but to no avail, only recently when I stumbled upon a Japanese forum and found the lyric (as well as Yousei Teikoku other song, yay!) Ok, this is one of my favorite song, Fairy Yui as usual with her cute voice+music fuse with ghotic element. This song is actually from Renkin 3-kyū Magical Pokān single.

Zero no Tsukaima

Zero no Tsukaima (ゼロの使い魔, Zero no Tsukaima? lit. The Familiar of Zero) is a fantasy and comedy-oriented series of Japanese light novels written by Noboru Yamaguchi and illustrated by Eiji Usatsuka. The story features several characters from the second year class of a magic academy in a fictional magical world with the main character being the inept mage Louise and her familiar from Earth, Saito Hiraga. The series has been adapted twice as an anime series. The first season aired in Japan in 2006 produced by the animation studio J.C. Staff, and the second season, entitled Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi (ゼロの使い魔 ～双月の騎士～, Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi? lit. The Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Two Moons), began airing in Japan on July 9, 2007. A manga version drawn by Nana Mochizuki began serialization in July 2006.

Plot Summary (ANN): Meet Louise, a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her. This sequel is a continuation of the previous season, not long after the war. Louise and Saito seemingly getting along now since she knows that he had given up his only chance to return to Tokyo for her. The story continues as Louise begins to use Void Magic from a mysterious secret book she had recieved from her majesty Henrietta, while a new villain has appeared in town causing trouble.

Last week another series closes it's curtain from 2007 anime series, with the final episode of Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi (the 2nd season). I first watch this series way back in 2006 when I download this by accident and decided to give it a try. Then I found out that Louise (the main protagonist) is voiced by Rie Kugiyima, which becomes one of the driven force for me to continue watching this.

First season end last year with Saito finally got his chance to return to his own world due to the sun eclipse, but he decided to abandon his chance, stay behind and help Tristain in the war (or more exactly, he want to protect the person he love the most), combining force with Louise Void Magic and defeat the enemies' army. Then second season was aired starting from July, again with 12 episodes (just like the first season). Second season is kinda more random than the first, with the first 4-5 episodes have little to do with their war. It end with Saito seemingly died when he faced 7 millions of enemy army ALONE, but the director don't want to make him dead, so Saito somehow survived (saved by a fairy) and reunite with Louise. Still, the war hasn't over yet, and the main enemies is yet to be defeated. Sign of season 3 anyone...?

Nevertheless, my comment toward this series: I like both season very much, in their own way. Season 1 is the starting of the series and they show much of the progress of the war, many hilarious scenes which makes me laugh pretty much, and end in a "good way". That is, they didn't spoil much as in season 2. Saito also somehow learns that there are other people from his world who also summoned into that magic world, and maybe somehow trapped (eg: Siesta gramps, the person who brought the plane and weapons, as well as the sailor fuku :3 ) Season 2, on the other hand, starts pretty well with many random plot in the first 4, 5 episodes, lots of echhi and fanservices and of course, the comedy elements. But this season is kinda interrupted with a lengthy side-character story of Anies which many fan don't think she deserve to get that much spotlight; though the end part of the story deserve some thumbs up (touching scenes of the death of Colbert sensei) with the exception of the spoiled ED. The final episode is very very very touching I must say, kinda makes me want to cry watching the scenes involving Saito and Louise at the port, the marriage, before the departure as well as Saito fight against the army. But the end part when really spoil the mood, when Saito who survive the nuke return with his perverted behaviour and Louise with his whip again. I really wish they could at least keep the sad+romance+happiness reunion till the end, as well as change the ED to fit the mood.

Not to mention, this 2nd season is kinda rush, everything went too quickly especially in the final 3 episode, but the war is going nowhere. The main evil has yet to be defeated, the war is still going on. Anyway, those who have read the novel complaint that this 2nd season is kind of failure with many things from the novel is neglected, but I do think the series is fine in it's own way. Yes Saito return to quickly in the final episode just to get nuked again, kinda disappoint me. Would be better if they make Saito died in episode 11, only to return at the final episode.

Holiday

My mid-semester holiday started last week and end this Monday. The whole break is within fasting period so there's not much activities I had in mind, more so I had plenty of lectures and assignment to cover (due to my absence lol). First week proceed not so smoothly for me, my laptop had some problem again on Tuesday and forced me to reformat it again, and again......and again....it only became stable last Friday, but the problem came again yesterday and forced me to reformatted it again, and again; and seems like the condition is getting worse. Kinda frustrated, maybe it's time for me to buy a replacement; a desktop might be a good idea. Need to lurk e-bay first...

Ok, these 3 days (Sunday-Tuesday) I've been alone at home because my housemates had a trip to Melbourne. Don't ask me why I didn't join, I just feels like not joining the trip, on top of that I still need to do my Bio: Human Perspective online quiz before Thursday (and I expect it to be extremely hard).

So only a few days before the mid-sem break ends, and I need to prepare for the 2nd part of this semester. No slacking and lecture skipping this time, folk :3 HD ftw!

it took them quite some time to release these 2 character CD, no? Nevertheless, I like both of these, Isumi being a slow-paced music and soothing (just like what she is in the series lol), while Sakuya song' kinda a little girly with powerful words (her theme NA NI WA Lovemotion is another song I favor). I'm looking forward to Saki Kijima and Nishizawa Ayumu Character CD :3

Lucky ☆ Star

Lucky Star part.1

Lucky ☆ Star (らき☆すた, Raki ☆ Suta?) is a Japanese four-panel comic strip manga by Kagami Yoshimizu. The strip has been serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Comptiq magazine since January 2004. Cameo strips were published in other magazines such as Shōnen Ace and others. It was not originally meant to be serialized, but when Comptiq suddenly had pages to fill, Lucky ☆ Star was there.[citation needed] As it was popular, it was decided that the strip was to be serialized. Like many four-panel comic strips, it has no real plot, and typically focuses on the daily lives of the characters.

In August 2005, a drama CD based on the series was released, and in December 2005, a Nintendo DS video game entitled Lucky ☆ Star Moe Drill, was released. A sequel, also playable on the DS, called Shin Lucky ☆ Star Moe Drill was released in May 2007, and a PlayStation 2 visual novel will be released in November 2007. In September 2006, it was released to the press that Kyoto Animation would be animating an anime based on the series; it will contain twenty-four episodes. The anime aired on the Chiba TV Japanese television network between April 8, 2007 and September 16, 2007. A light novel was released in September 2007.

Wiki again

Finally Lucky Star closes it's curtain last Sunday with it's final episode (24). This series surely being hyped this season, no wonder Kagamin has been tipped to be the potential big name in this year Anime Saimoe. Well there are some reason that makes this series awesome. It start with some great catchy OP (similar concept to Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi ED Hare Hare Yukai), and for the first 12 episodes involves the character singing other anime song in a karaoke. A little dissappointing though that the final 12 episodes involves Minoru Shiraishi singing (and they even decided to release the compilation lol.
Summary: Portrays the lives of several school girls attending a Japanese high school with a very loose humor tone. The main heroine is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club, and her grades remain low. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games, and is not interested in much else. The serialization began with the four main characters in their first year of high school: Konata Izumi, Kagami Hiiragi, Tsukasa Hiiragi, and Miyuki Takara. As the story progresses, they move onto their second and third year.
Anyway, as previously said, aside from it's hilarious joke and parody, the randomness in each episode is something to look for. And yes it really potrays what randomly happened in our daily lives, you see some scenes and you can feel the same occasionally had occasionally happened to you. Sometimes they do uses some references (especially Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi), which makes us wondering about the releases of MoSH season 2 (which is supposed to be next year).
After a run of 24 episodes, KyoAni finally end the series with their final School Festival (hm...Azumanga anyone?) as well as the full version of "Motteke Sailor Fuku" dance; and I can guarantee that soon enough Youtube will be flooded with the dancing parody :3 This final episode is one of the greater to watch, the only downside that I can tell is that they still mantain the ED, which is kinda dissappoint me since this is the final episode.
Overall, I do think Lucky Star is another KyoAni success this year, fun to watch, and I'd definitely going to remember this series, especially those involve Kagami and Konata.

Genres: Comedy, Slice of Life
