Rie Fu's decay

I've really fallen in love with this song.

These are the English lyrics:

decay (English Version)
Rie Fu

You could have said a word but you turned away
But do you always act such a passive way
Now don't you ever think that I would suck up to you
But I still believe in you

When I was given freedom, oh, all I did was plead
When I turned back, there was nothing to see
You closed your door before I could open mine
Now I know, now I see, it was a wasted time

The days go by, you never seem to learn to fly
And all you do is find the reasons why
And all I wished for was for you to face your dreams
I still believe that you can fly

When I was given passion, oh, I tried to cool it down
Till I found out, I couldn't say the words I wanted to say
You are the sun lighting up my shadows
Save me and never let it go

The days go by, you never seem to learn to fly
And all you do is find the reasons why
And all I wished for was for you to face your dreams
I still believe that you can fly

There's no way I can talk who you were ten days ago
Cause you are who you are now

When I was faced with reality, I lived with a fantasy
Tucked it inside in the space in between you and me
If only I could reach the poisoned water
Take me there, it's gonna be much better

As days go by we all need to learn how to fly
If only I didn't care about the reason why
And I all wished for was for you to meet my dreams
I still believe we can fly

Oh, I was waiting for you to stand up to it
Oh, what are you waiting for?

You could have said a word but you turned away
But do you always act such a passive way
Now don't you ever think that I would suck up to you
But I still believe in you


At first I thought that it would be a Sasuke POV thing with Naruto but it sorta works for Naruto too. I'm not totally sure about some of the lyrics... Most of the time Rie Fu's English is great and totally understandable but sometimes it slurrs and I'm not really sure what she's actually saying.

Anyway, links to this song and the original Japanese version:

I've liked Rie Fu since I heard her ED for Bleach. Life is Like a Boat is seriously one of the best EDs out there.

I finally got the coursepack for my Russia course so now all I have to do is get the one for my Japanese art history with an emphasis on literature course. That one I'm totally unsure of. It looks to be very difficult... I'm scared of it. I might have to run before it's over.

For the love of Haru wo Daiteita

I really really really am looking forward to the OVA. Really, really! I'm rereading the manga that I have of it (pitiful, I know but I still can't get enough of it yet) and I seriously hope they go as far as the cologne part... I know they definitely will get through Katou's declaration of love (they have to either way) and if they can get to the Hawaii part... I still would love it. What I would also love is they get through to the whole "betrayal" arc at the end of volume two since I wanna see Katou cry... It's just that...it's so different from what a normal seme would do! "Katou's hand trembled like that of a distraught child's..." I love Katou. He's too cute. I'm not sure I want to hear Miki's voice in him but I would take him anyway. Besides Iwaki is the cute one. Kya!!! When will it be May?! I need this manga. I need them all!!!

Anyway, the true purpose of post is to show off the teaser for the OVA which Masha has provided me very nicely. I can't thank you enough for it. Right now, I'm totally in love with the song... If only I knew what it was so I could download it...

To be watched with like-minded or at least people who wouldn't fly off the handle at some somewhat explicit gay sex or alone. :) It's seriously not that bad. A lot of kissing and licking and that sorta stuff. So yeah.

One more of the heck of it

When I first heard it, I was not all too fond of the new Yakitate Japan ED by Soul'd Out. It's mostly a rappy sort of thing and sorta kinda hip-hop-y, something I have never been fond of but now that I've listened to it more and more, it does kinda grow on you. And Diggy-MO''s voice is pretty different in an interesting sort of way. I don't know. It's weird. I still don't love the song all that much... I mean sure the names of the people put me off the song a bit (Diggy-MO', Bro.Hi and Shinnosuke) but it's not that bad I guess. And since Yakitate Japan is a pretty different anime, I guess it needs a pretty different ED too... But still, since I think of Yakitate so fondly, it's a bit hard for me accept this as the ED.

But here it is, simply because:
