“Owning a Southern Wind yacht could mean experiencing performance sailing in a stunning fleet. It's not necessarily about racing, but about challenging friends and like-minded owners. This is what we consider the ultimate essence of yachting: pure sailing enjoyment.” - Andrea Micheli, Southern Wind CCO.

Lament for a Southern Wind

A canary's yellow feather floats-- an autumn leaf in the spring, a song long after a coda. A frigid wind arrives despite the promise of a humid storm down below-- does rain falling in the heat hurt less than just above freezing?

Coal falls onto my palms; the sparkles too fine to turn into diamonds, even with all my endurance pressing on them. A swallow's song piques my interest, but its melody is atonal-- why would you sing if you get everything wrong?

I can't find peace in the grasslands; the daisies turn into ashes and I'm always searching for someone or something... to give me wings so I may follow them to an ancient spring, ever-flowing. --Elda Mengisto

Southern Wind is a 1994 anime that teaches Japanese kids English. It was part of a line called Gakken no English Daisuki.

As I finish up dumping a lot of my info for the Foristeri subspecies I thought you guys might enjoy a song that I helped write for it. The idea for the song is that it's something that the Foristeri sing to their children at night to help them feel safe from the Southern Wind.

The song talks more about their past than their present, but the nice tune has kept it alive even after the great stone wall was mostly destroyed.

Story - summarized

Qin Yi loves performing... a little too much. It extends past the stage and into his normal life: putting up appearances, feigning interest, never showing his true feelings.

One month, he and the Neverfall Troupe traveled to the southern part of Cloud Empire that bordered with Ninir Kingdom. They performed one of their best plays, and Qin Yi made sure that everyone was moved to bits. The audience loved it.

Except for one critic: Qi Qiu, another actor in town. He claimed that Qin Yi cared too much what others thought and was too closed off to embrace the characters.

So, he went to see one of Qiu's plays. The young actor came out, and he poured his soul into his acting. It reminded Qin Yi of when he was a child: he loved performing for the thrill of it, because it made him happy.

Finally, Yi understood that acting isn't just about fooling others; it can be a tool to share memories and experiences and bond over them. He tried that method the next time he was onstage. It felt great, even fun.

Too bad he didn't have the luxury of fun. Once the monthly tour was over, he reverted to self-isolation. He had a role to play in the Qin family, and he couldn't just leave and do things for himself.

Connections

-Qin Yi ingratiated himself to the Qin family in Mind Maze 3, where he tricks them into thinking he's their long-lost son. He did this to escape his abusive acting coach and his mother's dire poverty, which you learn more of in his Reflection for Out the Phoenix Palace.

-From a young age, Yi had to close off himself and his emotions, choosing a lonely path of survival, all because of his friend's betrayal in Nostalgic Dreams

-The one time he does something for the joy of it, Qin Yi helped a common playwright and a princess get married. He recounts it in Crimson Phoenix, his wedding design.

Fun Facts

-It's never stated explicitly in the game, but Qin Yi most likely suffers from depression: isolating himself, emotionally numb, little or loss of pleasure in activities.

-One of the many traditional Chinese dresses is the hanfu (which you can see in a lot of Jiang Xitong's and Qing Yumo's designs), but this version is poofier, like the Korean hanbok.
