▷ Sawano Hiroyuki ft. 優里 「 Till I 」

[Lyrics & translation under cut]

ENGLISH:

Because uncertain memories are piercing into the corners of my heart, I want to know if truth is painful or not. The questions I’ve postponed are so frail.

While the traces of tears dry out, a trail blazed across my messy mind. Where shall we go?

Cuz I’m meant to be your piece until I die, no one’s wanna be alone. You’re torn apart and I pick up the pieces. Though we fall apart between the hell’s divide, if you ask it of me, I’ll stay by you forever and stay the same.

If it feels like your name was born to just disappear, I’ll scrub that thought away so much that it hurts, I realize a lot. I can’t take your tender lies.

I was so cowardly that I acted like an adult. Cries swallowed down, but you don’t mind. I did it so you wouldn’t be hurt.

Don’t let me be your wound. Wash off all you’ve been bound. Listen closely to the sighs of rest.

Cuz I’m meant to be your piece until I die, no one’s wanna be alone. I’ll leave my soul by your side. As we wander around aimlessly in a corner of the sky, the light that shines on you will stay the same.

Till I die… By your side…

🎶✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️ [actually, negotiable. you can do whatever]

Man, I've been sitting on this for too long. Sorry, about that! Time to answer!

Fallen Star by Kamelot - It's extremely difficult for me to choose a single Kamelot song to put on any lists like this since I've been in love with their music for like 20 years, but we'll go with this one.

The Grey by Thrice - I finally saw them live last year. The band did great, but unfortunately I could do without the crowd.

Epicentre by VNV Nation - I actually hunted down this song after hearing it at a local goth club. Several years later, I got to see them live at said club, and I have zero regrets about it.

BangBangBUR! ···n? by Sawano Hiroyuki - Whenever I'm in a mood, the Promare soundtrack's sure to pick me up.

Take a Little Hand from the Ghost in the Shell: SAC Solid State Society Soundtrack by Yoko Kanno - The Ghost in the Shell: SAC soundtracks have been on my regular rotation for years. This one's getting put on the list because it's been stuck in my head a lot recently.

Chikyutoiunanomiyako (地球という名の都) English lyrics

I got this commissioned by this lovely person akemi-dareki, don’t re-post without crediting them first.

Nothing's been promised, ever since the start

And the future won't give us them either

So it then falls to us to make our own

Create a future of our own

The prayers of old have turned into our poetry

And our love has stayed with us as hope and bravery 

The blue sky has always stood strong for us

It will always shelter us each day like a warm blanket

The dark night is like a loving jewelry box

For this place we call home For this place we call Earth

In the history we are always told

There are still things that we do not know

This stars that we born, the galaxies

In this vast, endless universe

Our words are able to connect us like the air

There is one thing that with you I want to share

The things that are, and the things that are not

Are nothing but combinations of ones and zeroes

 But in just a one, there can be infinity

 In this place we call home

 In this place we call Earth

From the dawn of time to now, there have always been wars to protect those we love

And there always will

Unless we keep spreading our love, our message

Only then might things change

The prayers of old have turned into our poetry

And our love has stayed with us as hope and bravery

Our words are able to connect us like the air

There is one thing that with you I want to share

The blue sky has always stood strong for us

It will always shelter us each day like a warm blanket

The dark night is like a loving jewelry box

 For this place we call home For this place we call Earth

From the dawn of time to now,

 there have always been wars to protect those we love

 And there always will

Unless we keep spreading our love, our message

 Only then might things change

Our words are able to connect us like the air

 There is one thing that with you I want to share

[TV anime Mecha-ude | Opening Theme] "VORTEX" by Setsuko (Kuhaku Gokko)

[osakanone]

LOOK! ROBOT TENTACLE PLAY! ooooooooo!

Ok good I have your attention. Feel USED? GOOD!

That's how Sawano makes me feel. Let me get to the point:

The Eternal Disappointment of the Sawano Drop

So it hit me like a ton of bricks today that I'm very sick of Hiroyuki Sawano -- and I realized his work makes a lot of anime sound very similar.

I can feel it in my bones:

"The story is going to wrap up with a very expected climax"

And when the realization kicks in, I'm always saddened and disappointed. What should be an emotional climax is just, really boring, and it pulls me out of a moment the same way the Willhelm scream does.

Its weird too cuz, I don't get this problem with wrestling's kayfabe, marks and smarks where the postmodern construction of wrestling deliberately plays tricks with an audience: I know all those tricks, but wrestling appreciates that I know those things and plays with my feelings.

Sawano... Doesn't.

Sawano's work is "too safe", and too predictable": Its just not interesting -- He is to anime soundtracks what Michael Bay is to movies

It feels... Condescending, I think? Like I'm being manipulated or used.

Like I can tell he has some real music-writing chops, you just almost never get to actually hear them. Is this the fault of producers for just saying "hey make uhhh more of that thing you do" or something?

I don't entirely understand why I'm feeling this way and I'm wondering if anybody can tell me?

Like...

Has Sawano ever used his drop or his telegraphing to deliberately lie or play real psychological tricks on audiences who understand his work?

Like how we sometimes hear sweet music during an act of violence (End of Evangelion and Battle Royale both come to mind) -- I want to see a Sawano anti-climax which respects the audience following along to make up their own minds about what is happening.

Or even, to deliberately lie to them about what is happening.

Until then: I want more Kevin Penkin, and less Sawano Hiroyuki.

Anyway, if you're an anime fan who wants to tell me Sawano is "the greatest thing ever", this post is not an invitation for your impotent outrage.

But if you know a bit about music theory, or you feel similarly, or you experience similar feelings from other media you enjoy and how you dealt with those feelings?

That I want to know about

[Song of the Day] "Voices of the Chord" by Sawano Hiroyuki

Today’s featured song is “Voices of the Chord” which appears to be the English rendition of the original song in Japanese, “Avid”. This particular version was really getting me emotional, so I’d like to share it with you! It’d be interesting to hear how many people–if any–felt as strongly as I did listening to it. Somehow, I’m rather skeptical. haha Check below for several links to the song.…

[kpchrs]

when you get this ask you have to answer with 5 of your fav songs and then send this ask to 10 or your favourite followers !!

Lmaooo again. Thanks, Vic. For you, I will choose my favourites from J-Pop? I guess, and one J-Rock. I don't really follow Japanese music, only a few selected artists.
