Semblances of Leon in Kazuki Kato and His Songs

If I had a nickel every time lyrics sung by Kazuki Kato matched perfectly with Leon Dompteur's story, I'd have 3 nickels — which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it has happened thrice.

I really got into Kazuki Kato and started checking out his works lately as he's the voice actor of my beloved Leon. And the more I look into him, the more I feel like he really is like Leon, be it in terms of looks or personality. After all, it was his final appearance in Sora's Senpai Club where Sora called him 100% ikémen that captured my heart. He's a cool, level-headed, kind and non-judgemental guy. On top of that, he'd respectfully ask to know his partner's wish as to whether she wants to stay with him or prefers some other guy he saw her getting intimate with!? Hmm, doesn't it sound like someone 2D I know and fangirl over?

Sure, one could easily lie in an interview, but not even as an audience could I imagine being calm in that cheating scenario Sora flung on him suddenly. I've watched many clips of Kazuki's other shows and videos as well, and he always seems to exude this charisma and appeal, and his actions are bold and confident, much like our lion boy. His hair, especially in the earlier days, can also be seen rather long and messy, like a lion's mane.

Then there's his voice. My goodness! I mean, yeah, that's where it all started for me thanks to Leon, but I didn't expect Kazuki Kato to be a full-fledged artist. Alongside his solo songs, he sang covers, as a member of the band JOKER, as a cast of theatrical plays, and as the voice actor of Kento Aizome from B Project group THRIVE. Compared to his long career, the number of his songs I've listened to is meager. But his singing truly is amazing. His voice sounds so, so beautiful in Love Union, I keep listening to his lines over and over again and get overwhelmed with emotions, mostly because of Leon — which I'll get back to shortly.

At any rate, I don't know how Kazuki managed to be this good at singing when he decided to become a singer only after he felt lost in the entertainment industry. What do you mean he wasn't always aiming to be a singer!? Or an actor or a voice actor for that matter!? Because that man really aces whatever he does! Life really is strange and unpredictable, and I'm glad that fate somehow brought him to the world of entertainment. It's like he was born to be the Kazuki Kato we know.

Yes yes, I'm gushing over him. There's nothing to hide at this point. At first, it was so easy for me to see Leon in him. Boy, I should've known what I was getting myself into when I imagined the voice actor as the real life version of my current most favorite fictional man! I've dug a hole for myself deep enough that now I don't even need the semblance of his character to be into him. But when I listen to his songs, original solo or otherwise, there are times when I grasp the lyrics and I feel surprised because they go with Leon impeccably.

Long ramble finished, now I'm gonna do what I originally set out to do — put together all the lyrics sung by Kazuki Kato that I associate with Leon, translated by none other than me. Because either the translations I found had mistakes or there wasn't any translation to begin with. I'm feeling tempted to actually go and fully translate his songs. For now, it's only these lines for my dear lion boy! Beware of hints of events from Leon's main route.

"Caressing your hair, in the end your wiped away tears gleam like orion"

— Love Union (Kento Aizome from THRIVE)

"What do you see in the sky you look up at?"

"Who do you see in the sky you look up at?"

— Faith (solo)

"Embrace me in the endless rain

If you're hiding the answer

Please whisper to me with your unchanging voice

At least envelop my broken heart"

— Jougen no Tsuki (cover)

New version of an old comfort song dropped 👀

[kalira]

from Jougen no Tsuki (Kagen no Tsuki; Adam/Mizuki)

He’d seen her snug up against his bassist as they waited for him, at his own birthday party, had seen it before the way Tom flattered her and flirted but hadn’t cared, but now. . .

This week’s word is…

Today’s featured song is: “Crescent Moon” by Kurousa-P feat. KAITO!

[sovamurka]

My friends said that watching "Senbonzakura" musical without knowing the language and basic understanding of the plot is a great idea...

Well, mes amis, surprisingly, it was..! Hilarious, cute and with soothing voices! And it was also quite easy to understand!

Also, I learned that "Jougen no tsuki" originated from this musical. Of course my KaiMei senses were more than just shocked to learn that Kaito sings it twice.

First is during the time when Meiko (or Akane Meiko according to musical) is acting as an oiran. Kaito (or Seine Kaito) and his general (?) come to one particular place where Meiko overactingly tries to use annoying techniques on general in an attempt to crack him up (it is hilarious). When it doesn't work she walks away, so does the general. Kaito suddenly starts singing the first verse of "Jougen" and then Meiko comes back. And that's when fun begins. Because she knows exactly how to annoy him. Because he knows exactly who she truly is.

He even friendly kicks her twice when she tries to seduce him (yeah, right after the hug). Why is he so angrily annoyed? Well... When he calls her by her military name she suddenly changes voice and greets him with a smile:

Then they discuss some stuff that she learned while undercover (?). And after Kaito walks out Meiko returns to her acting behaviour.

~several scenes later~

While Kaito is fighting an enemy he gets almost knocked out. THAT'S WHEN MEIKO IN HER UNIFORM COMES. Long story short, she gets injured while protecting him (gasping "Taicho..!") then Kaito gets injured while trying to save them both (also worryingly saying "Meiko..!"). He has a nightmare where everyone turned against him.

YeAh, I love lighting in this show👀

~several emergencies later~

Kaito wakes up and (after noticing that he is in care of Doctor who will later betray them) screams "Meiko" so desperately that his wounds open again. Huh, I got more KaiMei than I wanted, what the heck this show is trying to do to me?

*some evil and depressing plot points later*

Miku checks on both of them in some kind of a hospital (calling unconscious M and depressed K "Meiko-nee" and "Kaito-nii-sama" respectively, she is so cute). While checking on Kaito (it starts off as funny because Luka, Rin and Len are there but turns dark really fast when he screams at them) she confesses tearingly that he is her family, tells him about everyone else and runs away.

And that's when Kaito, deep in his own thoughts, starts shakingly singing "Jougen" from the second verse. When it starts snowing he runs to Meiko's bed in desperation, trying to wake her up to no avail. When the song ends he raises his head to the sky trying not cry. Finally, Meiko wakes up raising her hand with closed eyes and saying "Kaito!" (Aawww). Of course he immediately goes "Meiko!!!", they are very delighted to see each other again. She tells him about her dream ("I had a dream...About thousands of cherry trees ("Senbonzakura" >:D)...") which is very relevant to the plot. They look at each other happily... and then the siren screams.

What happens later? In a nutshell, Kaito is brainwashed for a while but Miku (i love her in this musical, okay?) saves him (it contains hugging in the end!!!). Doctor becomes a good guy and goes away. Everyone gathers in one place after the fight and then Meiko comes in with a flower pot containing sakura tree. All guys ask her if she's okay and she answers positively, gives sakura tree to Kaito and "Senbonzakura" starts playing again.

[muthur6000]

oh fun!! I'll try my best to remember:

KAITO: Jougen no Tsuki - WhiteFlame

IA: Into Starlight - KURIS and YUICHI NAKASE (I think?? it was probably either this song or Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story by kemu)

MEIKO: NOISE by MIJIPIN-P

YANHE: Rain of Dreams - Dr. Yun

Utatane Piko: remember - Kannakizu (I don't think this is actually the first piko song I listened to, but it's the only one I remember listening to a lot lol)

Matsudappoiyo: I don't remember, but Kumoito's cover of Itsumademo is really good

Hatsune Miku: Rolling Girl - wowaka

Zhiyu Moke: Hello, World! - SineP (not actually sure if this is the first one I listened to but I like it a lot)

VY1: probably kyaami's cover of Fairytale

VY2: I don't remember 😢

thanks for tagging me!! anyone else who wants to do this feel free 💙

Vocaloid tag game!

Tagged by @yukarishoodie

Grab your ten favorite vocaloids and/or vocal synths and name the first song you heard for each of them!

Hatsune Miku: world is mine by ryo

GUMI: I believe it was Matryoshka by hachi

Otomachi Una: Hate It! Hate It! Huge Ego! by KurageP

Yuzuki Yukari: Either Chururira Chururira Da Dda Dda! by KurageP or the girl locked below by cooroosii

CYBER DIVA: Either Kaleidoscope Haze by Project OverDoze or Exorcism by Creep-P

IA: Six Trillion Years And Overnight Story by kemu

flower: Again, I genuinely have no idea. Best guesses are: kyaami's cover of shake it! or Appetite Of A People-Pleaser by Ghost

Kaai Yuki: Calalini by Crusher-P

MAIKA: Yo Te Espero by AlexTrip Sands

MEIKO: I genuinely have no idea, but my best guess is kyaami's cover of The Snow White Princess Is

WIP Wednesday Sentences

From my September 25th post here; Jougen no Tsuki for @stonemaskedtaliesin, thanks! (And with this, my asks for that post are finished! . . .but this fic isn't and it's due on the 2nd, so back to work for meee.)

. . .still, he shouldn’t have stayed, he thought, rubbing his face. He barely remembered . . . talking with her, though she had said little - listened more, always watching him with warm eyes, the occasional gentle smile - and then . . . he must have just fallen asleep here on the couch. And rather than wake him, she had covered him with the blanket and left him to rest.
