a dream of mine is they do another tmbd rerun where they combine the best parts of 2 and 2.5 and also matsushin and taisuke reprise their roles (sorry masataka and shinji) and yuta is sebastian. also get rid of the corset scene that doesnt need to be in there

[abyssus-aeterna]

暗き夜の闇に於きて描かれたる我は、腐りの眞中に宿る。

此れ等の壁は又再び閉ざし行き、各々の物は死に似たり。

己作りの何某の己が憎み、己が身を捜し求むる何某の穴。

我が土は我が魂にして、我が棺は我が肉にして、我が神殿は我が體也。

神無月の旭に照らされたる我が體は、いみじく血塗れ也。

[Classical transliteration]

Kuraki yo no yami ni okite wegakaretaru ware fa, kusari no manaka ni yadoru. Kore-ra no kabe fa mata futatabi tozasi-yuki, ono-ono no mono fa si ni nitari. Ono-dukuri no nani-gasi no ono ga nikumi, ono ga mi wo sagasi-motomuru nani-gasi no ana. Wa ga tuti fa wa ga tama ni site, wa ga fitugi fa wa ga sisi ni site, wa ga kamu-dono fa wa ga karada nari. Kamu-na-duki no asa-fi ni terasaretaru wa ga karada fa, imiziku ti-mamire nari.

[Modern transliteration]

Kuraki yo no yami ni okite egakaretaru ware wa, kusari no manaka ni yadoru. Kore-ra no kabe wa mata futatabi tozashi-yuki, ono-ono no mono wa shi ni nitari. Ono-dzukuri no nani-gashi no ono ga nikumi, ono ga mi wo sagashi-motomuru nani-gashi no ana. Wa ga tsuchi wa wa ga tama ni shite, wa ga hitsugi wa wa ga shishi ni shite, wa ga kan-dono wa wa ga karada nari. Kan-na-dzuki no asa-hi ni terasaretaru wa ga karada wa, imijiku chi-mamire nari.

pictured in the blackness of the dark nights, I dwell within decay:

these walls are closing in again, & every object resembles death,

some self-created self-hatred, some hole in which I seek myself,

my soil is my soul, my casket is my flesh, my church is my body;

bloody, so bloody is my body in the morning light of november.

I said I would redo my thoughts on all of Ryuseitai's songs post one day. Well that day is today!!! My thoughts on the ones I already talked about haven't changed much but I'll still put them down here. And I can finally talk about all the songs from the TRIP album! By the way, I got the limited edition version of that album 😊 It's nice to have a poster of my beloved sentai idols~!!!

Anyways, main takeaway you'll get from my post is RYUSEITAI NEVER MISSES!!!!!

Once again, the only songs I'll list are the ones featuring Ryuseitai as a whole and their solos, I won't discuss the shuffle songs here since those aren't specifically Ryuseitai songs. And there's no real order or ranking to this list, like I have my preferences among them but I sincerely love ALL of Ryuseitai's songs and just wanna lovemail~!!!

Yumenosaki Ryuseitai Uta: Dakara FIGHTING! ✊ (FIGHTING!) FIGHTING! ✊ (FIGHTING!) Still a great song that gives you a good intro of who Ryuseitai is as a group and a general sense of each member's personality. I really enjoyed hearing everyone saying (or making an attempt to say in Midori's case) their catchphrase. Ryuseitai's in universe first and oldest song from the early days of the unit's formation. Now that Yumenosaki's Ryuseitai is closed I would love to see what the updated version of this song will be! My theory is that whenever Meteor Impact receives its anime adaptation that's likely when we'll find out what the new version of the song is.

The Unrivaled Meteor Ranger: Absolutely catchy classic! The way I was ready to end it all with how many times it took me to full combo this song on hard mode in the English version of Music....And then full combo it first try in Japanese Music 😂😂😂 The boys sound absolutely fantastic during the chorus of the song in particular I adore how their voices blend together! It really makes me feel like I'm right there in the crowd watching Ryuseitai put on a fantastic performance. I think this was the second Ryuseitai song I ever heard back in the years before I properly got into Enstars.

Goshiki no Shooting Star: Shooting Star! Shooting Star! Kagayake! Seigi koso...Shinjitsu to! Shinjiteru! Inochigake! Mamorinuke! Doro ni mamire nagara mo!!!

I mentioned this in the original post but yeah, once again, this song does such a good job of showing how much of a kick Chiaki's vocals give to lines. He has the deepest voice among Ryuseitai and you can easily pick him out in a group. And his voice gives lines the extra oomph needed to make them work well!

Super Nova Revolu5tar: The opening build up before the boys start singing is still so damn classic, I never get enough of it! And yeah Ryuseitai's vocals as a whole are really on display in this song. Their voices merge together so gorgeously in the chorus. I love the part that goes from violins to guitar as the boys talk it's beautiful! The whole last minute and a half of the song is gorgeous and I won't budge on that. Just.....MAN those violins and guitars in this song!!!!

Ryuusei Hanabi: This incredible masterpiece of a bop is a fave among fans, even if they aren't RyuseitaiPs. AND IT IS DESERVED! HA HA HA HA HA HA SOIYA! HA HA HA HA HA HA WASSHOI!

The more traditional Japanese instruments, the chants, the beat. I don't know what the music team was on when they created this song but it is absolute perfection from start to finish! By the way I finally managed to full combo this song like a month ago! Success!!!! And yeah this was the very first Ryuseitai song I ever heard years back before I got into Enstars. And what a phenomenal intro to my beloved idol power rangers~!

Growing Starry Days: I always smile when listening to this song because it is truly soft and loving and happy sounding. And I maintain my hot take that Ryuseitai needs more soft sounding songs, they do them so well whenever they get them! This song is the one that does the best job of getting across what I said earlier about Chiaki's voice giving lines an extra kick. He adds a special something to them that really makes them work.

Unlimited Power: Ryusetai throughout this song: Thank you everyone for all your love and support! 😊 Me, sobbing hysterically as my heart is overwhelmed with love: No...Thank YOU....It really is so damn sweet that this song is a thank you to the fans, I really feel the love and gratitude drip from every word they sing. And that part when they do their mini roll call (except for Kanata with his puka puka-ing) is still cute!

Meteor Scramble: Who was the person who said "hey let's work every Ryusetai member's name into the lyrics in a fitting way?" I hope they got paid extra for that, because it was a genius decision! Chiaki (ichi ichi akirametecha), Kanata (negau kanata e ikenai), Tetora (tachimukatte toraburu o), Midori (saa let me dream), Shinobu (manazashi no bun). I enjoy the high pace energy of the song, and I ESPECIALLY love the guitar solo section! And it's adorable watching the boys do air guitar in that part of the MV.

Suisei Halation: I'm just gonna copy everything I said last time about this song, because it's still so true. I fucking love this song, it feels like such a 80s-90s sounding anime opening in all the best ways! The beat once the chorus hits is so high pace, it's so much fun to listen to and just as much to play in the rhythm game. I can picture waking up to watch an anime with this opening on TV whenever I listen to it. My favorite part is when the boys all take one line each from the beginning of the chorus, it has a cool feel to it! And gosh that part in the MV when Chiaki very briefly looks stressed/sad guts me so bad considering what Comet Show was about as a story. Which, by the way, I hear that Comet Show is apparently disliked??? Like, c'mon, it has such good drama and angst and really builds up the conflict of what Ryuseitai goes through in this half of the story! Like I came out of Comet Show eager to read the other stories and see how tings get resolved!

Heart Heat Beat: I still feel like this song is a hidden gem of Ryuseitai's discography, I rarely hear anyone speak of it but it has such a fun and adorable feel to it. I am so happy it was added to the TRIP album, I hope that gave this song more attention and love because it is sooooo deserved! This is another one of Ryuseitai's softer songs, though it has a fair amount of pep to it. Like you wanna bounce along to the song with it's light, airy feel. And yeah, Midori's powerful sounding "ikou yo" is still stuck in my brain, I love when Midori gives more strength to his lines!

Nekketsu Ryusei Ninpouchou: That classic video game sounding opening is still perfect! This song makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster, and I mean that in the best way. Like the beginning part of the chorus in particular has this wavy feel to it that I enjoy. This song never loses the energy, even when it chooses to slow down for bits. And yeah, I still love how Shinobu sounds here, his voice is great in this song. Still bitter that his card was the only one I couldn't get from this event. Sorry Shinobu, honey, but 3.5 million is just too much......

Colors Arise: Once again just copying everything I said last time about this song. Another song that sounds like an anime opening in all the best ways! The guitar sounds absolutely fantastic in this song and really gets me so pumped up. I think my favorite part is when the song suddenly sounds like a completely different song a little over two minutes in before swinging back to the main chorus. It's such a fun change that manages to not feel awkward. You know the first time I listened to this song and watched the MV I came out thinking "MAN I really wanna watch one of Ryuseitai's shows!" In universe Ryuseitai fans continue to be the luckiest fuckers ever.

Relax Paradise: RELAX~! ☺️ Like I said in the original post, the first time I listened to the MV version of the song I didn't click with it. But I gave it a few minutes and tried again and that's when I really started to embrace it. Yeah, Midori, you're right I DO wanna cast off my stress and worries and relax in a jungle filled with friendly fluffy animals! So happy that Happy Elements finally freed this song from their dungeon with the TRIP album! Hearing the full version helped me to fully embrace the bubbly, relaxing atmosphere. It's nice seeing the boys goof off and have silly fun together instead of being sentai idols again!

Seishun Emergency: Wooo, get a chance! Woooo, make a chance! Don't give up! Don't give up! Be my girl! Yuzurenai battle!!! Ryuseitai and Knights do such a great job of giving this song an energetic and lively feel! I still can't believe this song is unpopular in the fanbase. A wacky romcom-esque song about two rivals who love the same girl but slowly end up thinking of each other as friends as well? Priceless as a concept and fun as a song! Literally the only negative I have about this song is that I can never full combo it because it constantly lags for a second like halfway through, breaking my combo every time....

Hamutaro Tottoko Uta: CRINGE IS DEAD, LET'S GET YOU GUYS SOME WHIMSY AND JOY!!!! How can this song be disliked, it is so cute and fun, and the marching beat makes you wanna clap or tap your feet along with it. I mean, c'mon....It's fucking Hamtaro!!!!! I know Midori lost his fucking mind when he first learned about this. I wanna know who in the team thought of the idea of "Ryuseitai and Ra*bits working together to cover the Hamtaro theme song". Who was the galaxy brained employee who suggested this? I wanna shake their hand! Daiiiisuki na no waaaaaaaa~! Hiiiiimawari no taneeeeeee~!!!!

Always Hero: BURNING HEART!!! JUSTICE BLAZE!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I still maintain that while the song itself isn't cute I came out of it thinking Chiaki is such a cutie pie! The song suits his hero persona perfectly, a very Chiaki-like song!

Marine Blue Rendezvous: Puka puka~ Love the slow feel of this song, I feel like I can sleep to this song. Kanata's gentle singing slowly lulling me into a peaceful relaxing nap~ 😊

Mahiru no Zanzou: Some of Midori's best singing is in this song. It has such a melancholy feel to it and there's so much emotion at its heart. Perfectly fitting Midori, especially his feelings about himself and his place in Ryuseitai in the early half of his time with him. Also, no joke, I actually teared up listening to this song the first time. I mean it, maybe it's just because it was like 2AM but I was actually laying on my bed like

Iron Heart Tiger: This song has such a high pace energy to it that doesn't let you rest and I love that. And yeah, as I said in the original post, Tetora's vocals don't get enough love, he sounds so damn good and has only improved over time!

Shippuu Jinrai Shinobi Michi: This truly is such a Shinobu-esque song, perfecly suiting him for his first solo! I still adore the high pace, bouncy feel it has and how it goes from one end to the other when it comes to general speed. Like I feel as though I am watching a ninja in action while listening to this song.

Bokura no Stella: Stella, Stella~! Stella, Stella~!

Kanata, thank you for coming through and giving Ryuseitai another softer style song. This song has such a gentle, elegant feel to it and was a beauty in every way. The music, the lyrics, the costumes, the MV...all sheer perfection from beginning to end~! I still can't get over that one lyric that's like "it's like we've been connected since before we were born". Like man, what a beautiful way to describe the bond between Ryuseitai. Five people who came together by chance and grew to love each other so much, to grow a bond between them so powerful it feels as though their souls have been entwined since forever, before they even existed. The strings in this song are so gorgeous!

New Daybreak: My actual reaction after I listened to this song in full and watched the MV for the first time

I loved how in the MV at the beginning everyone's movements were in time with the ticking of the clock. This is another song that feels like a classic sentai style anime opening, and I adore the power behind it. Fitting when you know it was worked on by people who ACTUALLY create songs for tokusatsu style shows! I especially loved how the juniors are the ones who take a more lead role in this song. I mean all of Ryuseitai are there and there's a lot of trading going on in terms of focus but it is essentially Tetora, Midori, and Shinobu are taking charge for this song. And I adore how that is in part representative of what the whole "all five members of Ryuseitai are leaders" thing is about. The juniors wanted to be equal to their seniors, especially wanting Chiaki to stop burdening himself, both in terms of work and dealing with drama/pressure/negativity. So this shows how the juniors are capable enough to take charge themselves once in a while!

Unmei Power Energy!: If this song doesn't get more people to respect Tetora's vocals, I don't know what will. This is honestly some of his best singing on display, he sounds absolutely phenomenal in this song! I adore his energy (fitting for the title)!

Green to the Sky: The way Midori sounds so happy and energetic in this sound compared to how soft and sadder he sounded in his first solo....The way this is a perfect way to show off how much he has grown during his time with Ryuseitai, how his love for them and their love for him helped him to grow and change 😭😭😭 I love how this song shows Midori's growth through its upbeat energy and the power and quick pace of Midori's words~!

Seisei Doudou Ouenka: A bouncy and fun song for my dearest Shinobu~!!! It has a different type of energy from his first solo but it still has a fun energy that makes you wanna get up and cheer him on the whole time! Like yeah, Shinobu!!!! GANBARRE!!!!! FURE FURE!!!!

Kokoro de Pittari Ai ni Naru: I still love how everyone and their mother was thrown off by this title for Chiaki's solo and to this day no one knows for sure how exactly to discuss what it means. But my gosh this song is soooo fucking cute! Chiaki, baby, why are you the cutest being in the world? How dare you be such a gumdrop?! I kid, I love cute boy Chiaki so much, I hope we get more and more of it! I just love how loving and sweet he sounds, like it has classic Chiaki energy to it but it still feels like he's showing off something different all the same.

Happy Drops: Kanata's song has a bubbly energy to it, and I am happy it matches the energetic feel the rest of Ryuseitai are giving off in their own solos. Like I seriously couldn't stop bouncing around in my chair when I was listening to this song for the first time, I loved hearing how energetic and bouncy Kanata was!

And DONE! That's my thoughts on every single Ryuseitai song released to date! I guess I'll reblog this post to add more thoughts as more songs are released over time. But yeah, Ryuseitai are the kings of releasing bangers after bangers, there's not a single bad song in their discography~!

By the way, I mentioned this before but I wanna say it again. I love how every member's center song (Suisei Halation, Relax Paradise, Colors Arise, Bokura no Stella, and Nekketsu Ryusei Ninpouchou) all give off different feels and energies, basically showcasing how unique and different the member being focused on is. Meanwhile everyone's second solos are very similar in feel in terms of being energetic and happy sounding. It's unique: the center songs AKA the group songs are the ones showing off how unique and different every member of Ryuseitai is while it's the solo songs showing off how at heart they are all the same, all part of the same team.

But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed my thoughts~!

Song of Lust

NSFW warnings: like the previous one-shot but more rough, pregnancy kink, breeding kink.

Warning: this may contain the usual yandere content like stalking, mentions of killings, and Cole being a controlling, possessive and manipulator of a "bf".

Background ships: OceanStorm(Jay x Nya)

It's been like 2 years(After the graduation of the Ninjago High School Students) since Cole Brookstone have an.... Intense NSFW moments that he wouldn't forget but for Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon he wanted to forget it all.

Ever since his new "Boyfriend" started killing a lot of his bullies, most of the students avoided the blonde boy not wanting to get killed by the Black Pumpkin who was Cole.

Speaking of which Cole and Lloyd are having another NSFW moment at his house again like last time.

Lloyd moaned softly in pleasure as Cole's hand pinching the Green Ninja's nipples and his other one fingering his vagina causing Lloyd to moan in pleasure as he grinded his hips against Cole's cock causing the Black Ninja to moaned a bit. He currently has condom on his cock.

"Gosh, you really are needy huh, my muse?~"

"Yes, I-I needed your cock! Please I couldn't take it anymore! J-just fuck me! Please- Ahh!~" he was interrupted with a moan as Cole's hard cock thrust into him causing the blonde male to moan louder in pleasure as the black ninja's finger fully entered his pussy causing him to moan loudly in pleasure as Cole continued to thrust into Lloyd who was a moaning mess as his cock brushed against his g-spot causing the blonde male to scream loudly in pleasure "Ahh!~ there!~" He yelled out in pleasure as the Black Ninja continued to thrust his cock against Lloyd's g-spot causing him to scream loudly in pleasure "Hah!~" Lloyd moaned out as Cole pinned Lloyd to bed, thrusting his hips into him shamelessly as his dick twitches causing Lloyd to moan in pleasure as he continues to thrust against his g-spot"I-I'm g-gonna cum C- Hah!~" Lloyd moaned loudly as he cummed.

As Lloyd was panting tired from the sex he had with Cole, the black haired ninja looked at Lloyd's body, filled with his love marks all over his feminine body.

But the blonde boy didn't say anything as he is sleeping right now, the black haired ninja smiled at the him as he put a blanket over himself and Lloyd and closed his eyes as he fell asleep.

The next day.

As Lloyd hide himself in the empty forest just outside the city, singing happily as he dances to his favorite Love Live songs, he already did that with Yume e no Ippo Ippo and Dream With You back then but since his legs we're still hurt from having sex the night before he was sitting on the log as he is singing "Break The System".

Lloyd:

< Zettaiteki zennou shisutemu>

<Kutsugaesu arugorizumu>

<Noizu mamire disutooshon>

<Deguchi no nai dimenshon>

Kioku wa senmei de maru de genjitsu de

Hagayui hodo natsukashii

Atarimae nante sonzai shinakute

Soredemo kimi wa itsumo mabushii hikari

What he didn't know was that Cole was watching him from behind the trees, he followed him, he was recording him singing it.

Ah yume no naka naraba

Ah kowashite ike ruuru nante nai kara

As Lloyd finished singing it, just in time for Cole to finished recording it, he didn't wanted to send it to rest of the group cause only he himself can hear his boyfriend's singing voice.

Cause to him Lloyd is an angel, the light, and his little melody.. Speaking of which, he better prevent some people from hearing Lloyd's voice and making sure that only he and hear it but maybe he let the others know about it, maybe one day..

All of the sudden he accidentally stepped on a stick which grabbed Lloyd's attention.

"What was that?!" He said softly as he was getting ready to defend himself, but there was nothing in general. "Oh, it was nothing." He said softly to himself as he walked away not knowing that Cole was there.

Time Skip

As Lloyd was back in his room looking at his laptop which ravealed that he was applying for a music related college, although the city did accept him after he ravealed his identity as the Green Ninja, there we're still some people hated him and didn't allow him to attend their schools, he decided to apply it in a college for music away from Ninjago Island, away from the people who hated him and most importantly away from Cole.

He was terrified of the Black Ninja, ever since he revealed himself as the Black Pumpkin he became more possessive over him and the moment he ravealed his relationship with the rest of their teammates they were happy, they don't know what had happened but they were happy for it.

But they don't know the whole truth, the reason Lloyd kept silent about it is that he didn't want anyone to get hurt, he didn't want his mother to get hurt, he didn't want Master Wu to get hurt, he didn't want Alyssa to get hurt, he didn't want the rest of the team to get hurt and most importantly he didn't want Zane to get hurt.

When he shared the news with the others, they were saddened by the news but nonetheless they were happy to hear that Lloyd was pursuing his dreams of becoming an Idol, even though they don't really know what he sounds like when he's singing.

But Cole wasn't happy about it, he didn't want Lloyd to get away from him, he wanted make sure that Lloyd was his and his only and no one else.

He's planning on applying in the same music college Lloyd was going for, but he's not going to tell anyone about it until Lloyd left.

The next scene revealed Lloyd at the airport, with the others behind him.

"Promise that you visit us?" Jay said "We will." Lloyd said with a smile on his face

"Promise that you bring us some souvenirs when you're back okay!" Kai said, "Y-yeah." Lloyd said, well stuttered.

Alyssa raised her eyebrows a little at his response"I hope you're taken care of yourself Lloyd." She said.

"Well, it's time for me to go. Bye." Lloyd said as he brought his suitcase and looked at the others and waved back saying goodbye.

Bot for some reason he felt like Cole was glaring at him menacingly, whatever it was nothing right? Right?...

Part 3

(If anyone wanted to know which college did Lloyd was applying for? It's The Institute of Music)

RADWIMPS 「すずめの涙」 “tears of suzume” - 歌詞と英訳

in case you don’t know, this song is a play on the japanese idiom 雀の涙 ‘sparrow’s [suzume’s] tears,’ meaning ‘a drop in the bucket’ or an ‘insignificant amount’ of something. 

also, notice toward the end when it changes between 私/僕 and あなた/君? it seems to me like they’re trading verses back and forth between suzume and souta (or like abstractions of them lol), so i have *starred the verses i think are souta’s. much to think about 🤔 anyways, the rо̄maji is below the cut!

未来色した世界に　過去色まみれの 私が漂っているの　あなたは見つけたの

in a future-colored world, i am stained with the color of the past and i’m adrift　then you found me

今日の続きは明日と　どなたが決めたの？ 前ならえできない私を　日々は素通りなの

who decided that tomorrow follows today? i can’t learn from the past and the days pass me by

不思議だね　想い出と写真は 遠い過去なのに 一番新しく光るのはなぜ

isn’t it strange　my memories and photos are from long ago but they’re what shines brightest—why is that?

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど なぜだろうその目は　私を弱くさせる

i wish with all my heart to become strong why do your eyes make me feel weak?

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙 神様も知らない　すずめの涙

i’m not crying, there’s no way i would cry what you’re seeing are sparrow’s tears sparrow’s tears even god can’t see

あの人のところへ早く　行きたいと願えど この両の足で行けるとこ　ではないようなのです

even though i wish to go swiftly to where that person is it doesn’t seem like someplace i can go by foot

過去色まみれの私の　未来をあなたは 「一緒に探してみようよ」　そう言ってくれたの

i’m stained with the color of the past, but as for my future— “let’s go find it together” you said

忘れたくない　ものばかり抱きしめ 次の未来受け取る隙間はどこにあるの？

i hug close everything that i don’t want to forget where is there any opening to receive the next future?

*強くなりたいと　思えるのは君の 泣く顔に胸が　耐えられないから

*the reason i want to become strong is because my heart can’t bear your crying face

*どうでもよくないよ　この僕にとっては 海よりも大きな　すずめの涙 海に一滴落ちれば色が変わってく

*it does make a difference, it makes a difference to me suzume’s tears that are even bigger than the ocean when one drop falls into the ocean, its color changes

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど なぜだろうその目は　私を弱くさせる

i wish with all my heart to become strong why do your eyes make me feel weak?

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙 神様も知らない　すずめの涙

i’m not crying, there’s no way i would cry what you’re seeing are sparrow’s tears sparrow’s tears even god can’t see

*気づかぬわけないよ　そんなの無理だよ 僕にはそれしか　目に入らないほど

*there’s no way i wouldn’t notice, that’s impossible it’s the only thing i can see at all

*大きな結晶　すずめの涙

*suzume’s tears, like great crystals

[ Kiryu - Watashi Mamire - English Translation ]

己龍 - 私塗レ [Stained by the Self]

JP lyrics: Mitsuki Sakai｜EN translation: mee:3

Note: i KNOOOW i already posted this but that was long enough ago for me to be ashamed of the mistakes. also ik there are a lot of TLs for this already out there, but none of them suit the way i interpreted it (based on being a Buddhist) so i want to toss my coin in the tumblr barrel! no hate to any other TLers, we are probably all wrong but i love seeing different interpretations of the same vague lyrics. more notes at the end~

-

A thread was hanging there, my thread of salvation

I couldn't see it then,

Yet it swayed there right before my eyes

And with time, it wound up a tangled mess 1

I think to myself, what is salvation, and what would it take to be saved?

And I think to myself, how much would I have to suffer to get there? 2

1: Coop up inside my shell

2: Tune out the voices 3

3: Gently close my eyes 4

"Ahhh, yeah... that feels better."

See, I'm writhing around in vain

But, isn't this better for me?

Again, someone's laughing at me

"Ahhh, yeah... this is what's best."

"This is who I am. Any other way, and I wouldn't be myself."

How much of my potential has been killed off through that thought? 5

To allow even a single person to save me would be to betray myself

To have faced the pain of death head-on is the only way I can claim to have "lived"

4: Reject all who try to help 6

5: Bury my feelings deep inside

6: ...

7: ......

8: .........

9: ............

"Hey, is this actually even better for me?"

Now, that wasn't all

So, figured it out yet?

Just say it out loud now...

"I shall cease to be myself."

Suffering from sacrifice, writhing and groaning in pain 7

Disgusting...Disgusting...Disgusting...Disgusting...Me...

I'd say I'm more "human" than anyone

But still somehow, I'm the only person who can love me

Was it for you? For someone else?

Wrong, not it...

It's always been for "me".

-

1: literally means "caught in a bind", the string thing is a metaphor for the speaker's growing self-centredness that ends up fully taking over her life. Learning to love herself could've been her salvation, but she was too brash to realise that and ended up too far gone. (i'll be using she/her since the MV for this song shows a woman who is presumably meant to be the speaker)

2: actual translation would be something like "if I started working for it now, how much would I end up suffering?", as in the speaker is aware it's too late for her to save herself

3: lit. "cover my ears(and block the voices)", i just...japanese can convey so much more with 5 words than english can LMAO i tried

4: by the way, these numbered lines seem to be the speaker making a list of things she'd have to start doing if she wanted to repent. every step is phrased in a way that's like "that's too much, no way i'd ever do that".

5: lit. "how much of myself have i killed with that?", again hard to convey exactly what it means in english while still sounding poetic...point is, the speaker realises here that her way of thinking has been damaging ("killing parts of") her

6: lit. "push away any hands held out to me" but i thought that sounded way too yeah-that-was-translated-from-japanese for me

7: worth noting that the word "self sacrifice" used here pretty explicitly refers to the Buddhist practise of forgoing self pleasure for the sake of enlightenment— in my original translation, written without the MV in mind, i took this line and rolled with it to assume the whole song was a Buddhist allegory about past lives ("other selves"). I think differently now, but with that said, the word for "save"/"salvation" here refers specifically to religious salvation, so maybe the speaker grew up in a Buddhist society but can't fathom living in a way that forced her to forgo herself, or maybe I am insane and have written more notes than lyrics at this point.

[couldbebetterforsure]

#I feel like I've made it clear by now on my blog I'm a ryuseitai girl there are NO bad songs in ryuseitai's discography I'll fight on that!

girl i love these idol power rangers too but you can't mean that when growing starry days and seishun emergency exist😂

What did I say, Anon?! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

I kid, you’re free to feel that way, Anon! But I truly sincerely mean it when I say I don’t think there’s a single bad song in the Ryuseitai discography. So, why don’t we go through all of their songs and I talk about why I like them!

I’m only gonna list Ryuseitai specific songs, so ones that features them as a group in the song or their solos. I’m not listing the shuffle unit songs or their version of songs like Brand New Stars, since those aren’t specifically Ryuseitai songs.

Yumenosaki Ryuseitai Uta: Dakara FIGHTING! ✊ (FIGHTING!) FIGHTING! ✊ (FIGHTING!) From what I understand this is in universe Ryuseitai's first song, from before the current Ryuseitai was even formed. And what banger it is! It's a shame there's no MV for this one, I feel like it could get a good one. I love that everyone says their catchphrase during it (well...I mean Midori made an attempt...) A perfect song for introducing who Ryuseitai are and what they're about as a group.

The Unrivaled Meteor Ranger: Absolutely catchy classic! So much fun to play in the rhythm game, I get so into it (which means I keep breaking my combos). I just feel like I'm having fun listening to it, as if I'm watching the boys actually perform on the stage in front of me. They also sounds really good during the chorus for this one!

Goshiki no Shooting Star: Shooting Star! Shooting Star! Kagayake! Seigi koso...Shinjitsu to! Shinjiteru! Inochigake! Mamorinuke! Doro ni mamire nagara mo!!! *insert head bopping cat gif* I think this song does a fantastic job of showing how much of a kick Chiaki's voice gives the group's vocals. His voice is the deep and strong, and when he backs someone else's vocals it gives the lines an extra oomph that I adore!

Super Nova Revolu5tar: I love the build up to the opening lines! I think Ryuseitai may sound the best as a whole in this song. Their voices merge together so gorgeously in the chorus. I love the part that goes from violins to guitar as the boys talk it's beautiful! The whole last minute and a half of the song is gorgeous and I won't budge on that.

Ryuusei Hanabi: Practically everyone and their mother adores this song, and for good reason! It's an absolute bop from start to end. The use of traditional Japanese instruments, the chants, the beat of it. Another fun one to play in the rhythm game! Though I can't full combo the song on hard mode 😭 Fun fact, this is one of those few songs I already knew of from years back! I always find myself at the very least tapping along to the chanting.

Growing Starry Days: Hot take, Ryuseitai should get to sing more soft sounding songs. I know sentai-esque songs are their main thing, but damn it this song is too damn beautiful to be one of the VERY few soft songs they do! I heard this one isn't popular, to which I say FUCK THAT! Another song that really emphasizes how Chiaki's voice really brings the group's vocals together. I can't helpt smiling every time I listen to this song!

Unlimited Power: I just love that this is a song of thanks from Ryuseitai to all their fans, that's so damn sweet. The part where they all list the colors and their names is adorable (well except for Kanata 😂) Just as I can hear how well they get across their gratefulness in their voices throughout the song, I end up smiling and feeling just as thankful for them for making me smile so much with their music!

Meteor Scramble: Like I said last time I LOVE that they included their names in the lyrics! And in fun ways too, they play around with word placement and even Japanese pronunciation of English words for Tetora and Midori. Chiaki (ichi ichi akirametecha), Kanata (negau kanata e ikenai), Tetora (tachimukatte toraburu o), Midori (saa let me dream), Shinobu (manazashi no bun). I enjoy the high pace energy of the song, and I ESPECIALLY love the guitar solo section!

Suisei Halation: I fucking love this song, it feels like such a 80s-90s sounding anime opening in all the best ways! The beat once the chorus hits is so high pace, it's so much fun to listen to and just as much to play in the rhythm game. I can picture waking up to watch an anime with this opening on TV whenever I listen to it. My favorite part is when the boys all take one line each from the beginning of the chorus, it has a cool feel to it!

Heart Heat Beat: While not as soft as Growing Starry Days, this song does have a softer feel to it compared to other Ryuseitai songs. I love listening to it while I walk, though I always end up bouncing along because it has such pep in it! I feel like this song is a hidden gem of Ryuseitai's discography, I rarely hear anyone speak of it but it has such a fun and adorable feel to it. Also, I really love how powerful Midori's "ikou yo" is, it's not often he puts that much power in his solo lines.

Nekketsu Ryusei Ninpouchou: The old video game sounding opening to this song is such a nice touch. I loved how everyone's voices sounded throughout this song, they flowed together so well. Combine that with the energetic feel to it all and it makes for such a fun song. I love how it changed from slower pace to higher pace at several points and yet never loses that energy. Also, I think this song has some of Shinobu's strongest singing in it!

Colors Arise: Another song that sounds like an anime opening in all the best ways! The guitar sounds absolutely fantastic in this song and really gets me so pumped up. I think my favorite part is when the song suddenly sounds like a completely different song a little over two minutes in before swinging back to the main chorus. It's such a fun change that manages to not feel awkward.

Relax Paradise: RELAX~! ☺️ I'll be honest on first listen this song wasn't my thing, so that would've made this post super awkward, huh? But after listening to it a couple more times I really started to get into the bubbly energy of it all. Like "you know what? yeah I DO wanna go relax in the jungle!" I am super duper eager for the full version to drop, I wanna embrace the bubbly relaxing atmosphere.

Seishun Emergency: Wooo, get a chance! Woooo, make a chance! Don't give up! Don't give up! Be my girl! Yuzurenai battle!!! I heard this is another song that gets a ton of hate to which I say, why don't you people like having fun?! It's such a fun song with lyrics that are basically a shoujo romcom, what's not to like here?! There's such fun energy throughout this song and I really love how Ryuseitai and Knights combine their voices in this one! I can't sit still whenever the chorus starts up.

Hamutaro Tottoko Uta: People who hate on this song have never felt the joy the little things in life can bring. Cring is dead, let’s get you some fun and whimsy! It has a catchy marching-like beat and you can’t help but clap, move your foot, or bounce along to it with Ryuseitai and Ra*bits. Plus, c'mon guys, it's HAMTARO! Daiiiisuki na no waaaaaaaa~! Hiiiiimawari no taneeeeeee~!!!!

Always Hero: BURNING HEART!!! JUSTICE BLAZE!!! 🔥🔥🔥 It's a song that feels very Chiaki in energy and lyrics. Despite not being a cute song, I just come out of listening to it feeling like Chiaki is adorable!

Marine Blue Rendezvous: Puka puka~ Love the slow feel of this song, I feel like I can sleep to this song. Not in a bad way, I mean listening to it is so relaxing, I can't help but be lulled into a peacful nap 😊

Mahiru no Zanzou: No joke, Midori's best singing is on display in this song. His voice is already soft, so his solo really showcases that. But there are moments where there's a emotional power there that hits me in my little heart juuuuust right!

Iron Heart Tiger: Another hot take I have is that Tetora's singing voice doesn't get enough praise. I think this song, especially with its high pace energy really helps to get across how pleasing it is to listen to sing!

Shippuu Jinrai Shinobi Michi: Such a Shinobu song, so very fitting for him and enjoyable to listen to from start to finish! I love the bouncy feel it has while also being mixed with some softer moments, befitting a ninja!

Okay, that’s all of Ryuseitai’s songs and why I love them! If you noticed I missed a song, please kill me where I stand because that means I failed to defend the honor of Ryuseitai’s discography if I forgot one 😞 Hope you enjoyed hearing my thoughts!

SPY × FAMILY analysis Ep.2 pt. 2.1

Mission: 2 - Secure a Wife

~Comparing to Manga~ Chapter 2

The difference between Manga and Anime~ \_(ッ)_\

Now first, we all know that episode 2 has had a opening theme, but since this episode is long, so there's no ending theme in episode 2, but we finally have ending in episode 3, which is a good thing :))

So first, let's talk about the opening song: Source: Internet(some of them, I mostly do by my own.

Mixed Nuts (ミックスナッツ, Mikkusu Nattsu) is the opening song for the first cour of the SPY x FAMILY anime. It is performed by Official Hige Dandism.

Did you know: According to the Wikipedia of SPY × FAMILY: Mixed nuts are a mixture of various nuts such as peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, and walnuts. However, peanuts are considered a legume and not a nut.

The first teaser of SPY × FAMILY: (Watch this on Youtube)

This is the full song in Romanji:

[Fukuro ni tsumerareta nattsu no you na seken de wa Daremo ga sorezore deatta dareka to yorisoiatteru Soko ni magirekonda bokura wa piinattsu mitai ni Kinomi no furi shi nagara hohoemi ukaberu

The scene in opening: The sequence of this analysing part: Explaining lyrics -> Opening art

+The genre of the song is J-pop with some jazz and rock as well as pop. Spy x Family shows off a stylish opening sequence and reveals more of its voice cast, which includes actors from Attack on Titan and FMA.😲

Prelude music~

Starting off with a puddle reflects the cresent moon, which resembles of Agent Twilight (the meaning of Twilight was explained in FACTS post 5), and the explosion in the tunnel. Then we saw Twilight driving the car floating in mid-air to dodge the bullets from the enemies.

Did you know: this Cold War-inspired comedy's opening features an art style reminscent of 1950s and '60s pop art(pretty classic to me :)). The opening is set to the song "Mixed Nuts" by the Japanese pop group Hige Dandism, and shows off the dual lives of the Loid and Yor Forger, and how they are perceived by their new daughter, Anya.

First lyrics: "In this world like nuts packed in a bag, Everyone is snuggling up to someone they meet. We are mixed in there and smiling, By pretending we are all nuts like peanuts." -> "Nuts packed in a bag": numerous types of nuts in a bag, where you are surrounded by various people but in a limited place, but you seem to think it vast. ->"snuggle": to move yourself into a warm and comfortable position, especially one in which your body is against another person or covered by something, to surround with love and care, where you can feel the warmth and coziness with someone you truly care, in Anya's case, it will be Yor and Loid. ->"mixed in there smiling, nuts like peanuts": (now this is very special indeed) it's like a metaphor, a deep meaning in this phrase is the lyrics explained that we looks like smiling nuts, more specifically, peanuts. Peanuts represent happiness and connection, as when you open the shell of the peanut, it always come with a pair or three of nuts but never one, even the Anya design is from peanuts, that's why she loves peanuts, or nuts in general.

+We see the three Yor, Anya, and Loid but in funny drawing, which kinda describes a lot about Anya's childish drawing skill :)) From the lyrics to the art resembles the joyful beat of the music and the art of a "6-year-old" if you take a good look at the first half of the song, before the third lyrics. While Anya is running, Loid and Yor are covering the rain with an umbrella for her. It's like a parenting thing, protecting their children from any risks and problems so that they don't have to worry anything about life, other than high scores, respect and hopes to please them (classic Asian parents :0).

+There's a sequence in orange of a little girl looking alike Anya and Chimora plushie that Anya always carries at 0:15. Next, Anya in her uniform goes exploring the world through different places, and she met at a library. We see in the background is Becky, Damian, and Mr. Henderson respectively. And then that sequence again, but in pink.

+After that, Anya in her other casual outfit, passing Franky's tobacco workshop and humming. Then there's a comic book featuring Anya wearing a mask like the Agent in Spy Wars, and the number 007 is Anya's number when she was at the lab, thinking Dad Liar (loid lies a lot huh); the second comic book featuring a song name I guess, and big word Bang, some Japanese name, and (K)NOW_NAME; and the third comic featuring a lady spy holding a gun and the comic book name is SPYWARS. *Actually, now that I notice, the lady is kinda like Nightfall, are these spoilers for the part 2 season 1 \@0@/! And is that man Yuri!?

+Then of course we see the Fullmetal Lady, Handler observing and the pink word WISE shows up. After the rain pours, Anya takes out her umbrella, and walking under a beautiful rainbow.

Second lyrics: "On the template of happiness, behind the surface which is literally picturesque, We can't be as we are, even when we put our hands together sitting around a table." -> What we see at the outside of someone or something, it is beautiful like a piece of art, but we will never what the inside looks like. This is true about the Forgers family, Yor, Loid and Anya have to hide their real identity for the sake of eachother. ->We have to hide our true identity, and with a "fake" apprearance, it's nothing else other than a lie as we can't be who we are, even when we are a "family".

+ Then there are sequences of the family visiting many places: the elephant zoo (mostly Green), the aquarium (Blue, Indigo, some Purple), the rodeo? (Red, Orange, some Yellow), the party (Light Yellow, Light Orange, some Light Blue, White), the train station (Dark Rose, Red, Redish Pink), and iceskate (all types of Blue, some Light Pink).

+Then the three are some sort of running out of the TV, like getting back to reality, and Anya looking left and right somewhere...

+Continue the sequence: the chilling afternoon view (slight Orange, Pink, chilly Yellow, some Purple), on the train (I call this romantic Purple, Violet, Pink), view the airplance on the sky (Light Blue, some White), the cloudy beach (Yellow, Blue, White), the flower park (Yellowish Orange, Red, Orange, some Green).

+The family member's favorite relaxing place/leisure activity: Anya: a peaceful pink room with three windows, and a tree bloom some red flowers in the back, Yor: reading a book in the bath, Loid: lying on the sofa drinking some alcohol. Notice that both Yor and Anya ahve some spots pattern, while Loid doesn't. Why? Hmmm

+Below that: swimming with the family (Purple, some Pink), gather around Christmas (joyful Red, White, Light Yellow, shiny lights), the city at night (Indigo, with White & Yellow stars, and dark buildings).

+Then the three at home enjoy their family party, and that's when Loid turns off the lights, the art style changed into more anime drawing style than childish ones.

-> I also realize the meaning of him turning off the lights. The first half of the song in childish drawings represent their daily life on day time, after turning off the lights represent their life at night time, kinda like their dark secrets.

+Third lyrics: "Home with full of secrets and patches, you know? Even though I chew up the real emotions, they still don't disappear, they are still stuck in my teeth. My life is so insecure and drifting, and I know. Every day is so mediocre, but I'm here and so are you. Just by this truth, my stomach feels heavy." ->"Home with full of secrets and patches": Home is always thought to be a safe place where you can hide your secrets from anyone, even the ones you love is it? It's true for the Forgers family as Yor is an assassin, while Loid is a spy, and Anya, who gains mind-reading ability, was subject 007 in the labratory, and the only one who knows the family's secrets. ->Even when "we" try to let alone our real emotions, and false it with the fake expression, they can't be disappeared. ->Because of that, their lives are drifting in insecurance, everyday is always "normal" and boring, but they will always be together. Lieing too much can make your stomach feels a bit heavy, right?

+Here comes the grand and mysterious agent who comes out of the dark, Twilight! And the skillful and beautiful, (sexy) assassin who has a cold face during battles, Thorn Princess!

+Twilight and Yor's action moves are so cool(click link)😩💖 Those 2 have to lie about their secret idenity for their "daughter" by a fake smile, but deep inside is true emotions. Both of their information about their personal background are secret, top secret, ultra top secret, eyes only, and then Handler appears. I wonder what's the meaning of her having one eye reflects a TV?

-> Now I notice: Spoilers already appears in the opening if you take a closer look.

+One thing is certain, they put Anya in a frame with pearls and sparkles, which means they value Anya very much, because she is the key to success in Operation Strix. If Loid had had another child, Operation Strix would be a bit challenging for him, because the kid wouldn't have known about it, and since he/she is still a kid, they would be stubborn and disobey their parents. The worst case, there might also be a divorce!

+ I love Yor's outfits, so stylish and colorful: Watch from this moment

+Then Loid appears looking at the window remembering his past as a spy through harsh training, though I can't see clear the images in his flashbacks.

The end the opening~

Franky Franklin the "ugly" wife :))) (sorry Franks)

"Yeah, i know what you think, the make-up is so cursed lol", even Anya doesn't want "this mama". There was actually a small inner dialogue of Loid in the manga: Though I've met woman who look worse (Is it Karen from ep 1? Also, I hate Karen)

Franky was also angry at Loid of why not giving him the disguise like a face mask or something else, but instead giving him some make-up. In the anime, Franky spoke whispering and he was holding a mirror, while in the manga, he angrily yelled at him. I was like, what if Anya noticed, but well, she already knew that so that didn't bother or surprise her much, but I guess Loid would be a bit panic.

One little different detail is that in the anime, Loid said: Although Anya has passed the written exam in order for me to sneak into the pretigious Eden Academy... I never thought the presence of both parents would be required for the interview... , but in the manga: We managed to pass the entrance exam needed to work our way into Ostania's elite Eden Academy... but we failed to anticipate that both parents would be required to attend the mandatory follow-up interview. That kinda feels different in the manga, as Loid has never mentioned anything to Anya about Operation Strix, so she would never know about it (except reading his mind would do the trick), and in the anime, he mentioned that thanks for Anya's having passed the written exam, he managed to sneak in the Academy. Well, the differences are the manga didn't mention Anya's help, but only written "we", and I don't know if the meaning of "written exam" is similiar to that of "entrance exam".

Personally, entrance exam has various ways to test students to see if they really has a good standards to enter; it could also be a mutiple choice exam, written exam, speaking test or team-building test to see if all of them manage to pass,... or something like that

There weren't much changes of the anime comparing to the manga, so yeah, that's all I could find.

Yor and her colleagues

I know how sassy these little bitches I mean, ladies are, but I just feel so bad for Yor for how naive and single-minded she is. How worrying (no wonder Yuri cares so much about her).

A little difference: Camilla said that her department was robbed, while in the manga, it said that her office was robbed. I dunno if they are the same meaning...

And I guess a booger = snot :/

I feel like Camilla and Millie are mocking Yor, well, Millie's dialogue is a bit different from the manga. She said: She's so out of this world, no guys would ever approach her!, while in the manga: Come back to Earth now and then, Yor, and maybe you could actually meet a man.

In the manga, they wrote: Bachelorette, so for people don't know what that is, it means a young woman who has never married. And the case of that 30-year-old lady being single got arrested is so weird and there's no justice and no proof at all.

When Camilla invited Yor to her party, she reminded: And make sure to bring someone, but in the anime, it was more specific: With your partner, of course.

In the mocking Yor dialogue, they said in the manga: Maybe she could bring the pervert who broke into our office, the anime didn't mention that, but say in general instead: Maybe the buglar would be lured in her. I think they don't want to specific about the "pervert" to make the anime seems less "offensive"?

Yor and her brother's calling conversation

Though this is not the important part, I think the anime removed the phone dialling pic since it was not very necessary.

The order of the dialogue in the anime changed a bit compared to the manga: Yuri called Yor first, then she realized it was her brother, but the manga is the opposite.

The manga actually specifics Yor's job at the cityhall, but the anime didn't.

One more detail about the frame: in the manga, it was only taken the portrait, which is only the top half of Yor and Yuri, Yor still kept her normal hair, and Yuri's face seemed a bit... old? and he wore informal clothes; yet in the anime, it was taken full body, Yor wore an ivory suit, and Yuri wore a black suit. I suppose, this photo was taken when Yuri got the job or he got a good promotion, and Yor was with him at the ceremony.

When Yuri was worrying about his sis, in the anime, the background was still in her room and the window showed the building outside as well as Yor herself, while in the manga, it showed the dark sky with stars.

In the manga, while Yor was struggling about Yuri introduced his sis about a guy, Yor was still sweating a bit, but the anime removed that.

When Yuri said about Mr. Dominic, he said in the manga: Then I'll get Dominic to give me a full report on this boyfriend of yours, in the anime: I'll just ask Mr. Dominic later about what kind of guy he is, then. I think that's like Yuri order him to do so in the manga, like a demand :/

I feel like Yuri was "commanding" Yor, so she was pretty intense and pressured to find a good boyfriend for Yuri's approval. I guess it's true for someone like her, not only hiding her secret identity but also finding a good guy as long as he is approved.

Yor's dark secret: Assassin (coming up)
