#the two new songs are a surprise

[sunmaylight]

One thing I didn’t not expect before the end of the year is Quartet Night from Uta no Prince-Sama releasing two new songs (album?). The only way I found out is from Spotify’s Anime Playlist that had a couple of new releases on it.

Man, UtaPri is nostalgic. Watched the entire season 1 & 2 as well as played the gacha game for a bit. Couldn’t actually finish any of it cause I grew out of it. But man was that an intro to the Japanese Anime Idol fandom and a BIG yaoi/BL fan awakening for me. Also lowkey yuri from the anime MC and Roommate.

Back to the new Quartet Night song. Was indifferent to the group when I first learned about them in the anime. But now that I’m older, I appreciate them? Or understand the group better since I’m an adult and can think of the struggles they must face if they were a real life idol group.

I swear if UtaPri makes a comeback in 2025, I will be surprised and just give a simple congratulations and move on with my life.

Your piece subtitled with lyrics from The Garden is compelling me to make a(nother) Crane Wives playlist with songs that fit akeshuake. Which could be,,,, so many songs,,,,,

Also The Garden is SUCH a good fit! You're so right!!

Just the whole concept of begging the person you trust as not only "my shield, my steady hand" but also as "my stone" (to be cast at you) to tear down the life you've both buried your ghosts under.

"My darling" who is seemingly as culpable being the one trusted to "put your heart to my ear or set your teeth against my throat" because the singer can no longer handle their guilt, haunted by crows laughing in their garden and ghosts echoing their prayers.

"The devil knows my name."

Augh! The whole thing is such a fantastic akeshuake choice, especially the attachment and trust for someone haunted by the same demons.

It makes me think of an Akira who's burdened by guilt over the casualties that've been left in the wake of their cat-and-mouse game, which is even more interesting in the realm of p5r 3rd semester where one of those casualties /is/ Akechi.

Akechi who is right there, but in the form of a ghost torn from the first rest he's been granted in years. And I can fully see the final verse, all about getting their hands dirty and digging up their garden, being about that 3rd semester.

Wow! I did not expect to go on that ramble! Anyways your art was beautiful and I am so ecstatic whenever I see a cool artist is a Crane Wives fan!! Sorry for the song dissection in your asks but omg The Garden

oooo loving this look at the lyrics. seeing different perspectives on the same song that we associate with the same thing is super fascinating and makes me like it all even more

and aaaAAA don't (do) remind me about my list of vague animatic ideas that I've got in my head HAHAHA. i've never finished an animatic before! but! i sure do want to! you better believe half of them are crane wives songs LMAO

and ough yes yes the whole ~vibe~ of the garden being about twisted attachement and visceral imagery and. my words fail me but know that I am shaking my hands with general excitement

guys apparently the broadway romeo and juliet (the musical with kit connor and rachel zegler) literally cuts one of juliet's big closing numbers when the understudy goes on for juliet we're so cooked

[todayisafridaynight]

on the one hand listening to music while drawing is an easy solution to wanting uninterrupted background noise While I Draw however the downside is every time a new song starts theres a 50/50 chance that ill remember how i wanted to make an animatic/comic for it and ill scream inside

Surprise Song o’ Clock: Toronto Night 5

Dress: Purple Sparkly

Guitar:

Sparks Fly x Message In A Bottle

“You could be the one, message in a bottle is all I can do - so run my fingers through your hair watch the lights go out captivated by you baby like a fireworks show so - you could be the one that I love — so drop everything now.”

Piano:

You’re Losing Me x How Did It End?

“I must know "how did it end?" — how long could we be a sad song? Till we were too far gone to bring back to life, I gave you all my best me’s, my endless empathy. And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier. Fighting in only your army! Front lines don’t you ignore me “I’m the best thing at this party” your losing me!-how did it end?-I wouldn’t marry me either a pathological people pleaser who only wanted you to see her—Say it once again with feeling, how the death rattle breathing silence as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming, leaving me bereft and reeling, my beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree d-y-i-n-g-How did it end? Say something babe risk something! It’s happening again! Do something babe I got nothing… to believe-You’re losing me! Come one, come all… it’s happening again! The empathetic hunger descends-you’re losing me-How did it end? Stop! your losing me, it ends, your losing me, stop! your losing me… my heart won’t start anymore, uhoh oh oh…”
