He's saying that, in response to Izuku's final attack with his embers, the barest dregs of Yoichi's vestige was roused. This one last piece of his vestige remained likely because Izuku held back on his attack using Yoichi's vestige. Now that he, the base One For All quirk, has awoken, he will carry out the mission of One For All.)

Drown in - Lyrics + Translation

Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.

Kanji:

響きあうのが常　溶け合う夢

魅かれて Love thing ときめく胸

上手に振舞っても　I can see your mind

仕草で惑わす　本音と嘘

愛を試す　駆け引きは

大人のフリじゃもう満たせないや

焼け付く傷を冷たく癒す

火照る頬濡らした True tears

爪痕が語る　Midnight

何度も聞きたい　切ない

甘い罠に雁字搦めの Miss you

痛みが織りなす Pleasure

知ってるから Habitually sweet

もどかしく求めて

どこまでも I'm going to drown

選択するまま　待てない　Limit

主役は Oneself 誰でもない

人生はカットなしの　ロングフィルム

切り取られた今日　戻らぬ過去

理想の明日はどこなのか？

目隠し外すのはやっぱり It's you

ため息の中　にじむ優しさ

くすぐった本能止まらない

本当を見せて　All night

思いは重なる絶対

時間の波に　誘われて Kiss you

受け止めあいたい Feelings

すれ違いさえ Turn it into a joy

どうすれば伝わる？

君なしじゃ Falling all the way down

触れた指と指　絡まり合い

秒針の Tick Tack 遠くなる

鼓動だけ２人包んで

爪痕が語る　Midnight

何度も聞きたい　切ない

甘い罠に雁字搦めの Miss you

痛みが織りなす Pleasure

知ってるから Habitually sweet

もどかしく求めて

酸いも甘いも　愛も悲哀も

手を取って一緒に Let's drown

Rōmaji:

Translation:

Always resonating together, our dreams melt together

Attracted by this love thing, your heart throbs with excitement

Even if you pretend well, I can see your mind

Deceiving me with your gestures, your real intention and lies

Trying out love, this push and pull of

Pretending to be an adult is no longer enough

Healing my burning wounds with cold,

True tears dampen my flushed cheeks

Scratch marks tell the story of Midnight

I want to hear it over and over again. It’s painful

I’m completely stuck in the sweet trap that is missing you

Since I know the pleasure woven

From pain is Habitually sweet,

I impatiently yearn for it

I'm going to drown endlessly

You can’t wait to make your choices, there’s a Limit

The protagonist is Oneself, no one else

Life is a long film without cuts

Today is cut away, and the past won’t return

Where is the ideal tomorrow?

It's you, after all, who takes off your blindfold

Tenderness reveals itself through a sigh

I can’t control my newly aroused instincts

Show me your true self All night

Our feelings are overlapping, definitely

Drawn by the waves of time, I Kiss you

I want us to embrace each other’s Feelings

Let’s turn even our misunderstandings Into a joy

How can I make you understand?

Without you, I’m Falling all the way down

Our fingers touch and intertwine

The Tick Tack of the second hand grows distant

And only the beating of our hearts surrounds us

Scratch marks tell the story of Midnight

I want to hear it over and over again. It’s painful

I’m completely stuck in the sweet trap that is missing you

Since I know the pleasure woven

From pain is Habitually sweet,

I impatiently yearn for it

Both the sour and sweet, love and sorrow

Let’s hold hands and drown together

[lizzy-doll-thefoxy]

Thank you to whoever drew the royal family of the sea kingdom, I'm happy the drawings are so cute :'3

I can already say their names at least XD

Tsune (The woman with dark blue hair And with water green clothes ): The goddess of the sea and ruler of the Kingdom Tsune has lived with humans for a long time and is why he built this kingdom, so that those who lived in this area could have a better life. She would probably die for humility if she had to.

Kai: Tsune's husband, the kingdom's healer, he has healing powers that help a lot in battles but he has powerful weapons.

Marin:(The girl with tears)Their daughter and heir to the kingdom, Marin can turn into a large creature and is considered one of the sea monsters of the sea, taking down several enemy ships in battles, not letting them get close to Kingdom so easy

Caíque: Tsune and Kai's youngest son (unfinished design) Caique is too kind, he probably takes after his father, he hates to see allies or not getting hurt personally, he usually doesn't prefer to fight and help the wounded.

Well I can say things about demergi (the kingdom of the sea)

I'll just say a few things like there are a lot of parties there, it's a fun kingdom, it's the hottest kingdom there so people want to stay in the water all day XD

I won't talk much more about the project because as I said things can change and this happened so I'll keep it a bit of a secret for now. I was a little excited saying certain things, sorry:'3

Thanks for the arts: @anonymous123maybe and @sigyn-foxyposts

The sea goddess tsune (the woman with dark blue hair Holding Kai's arm ) Belongs to @brandy-rennings

Bye 👋

Yang Guifei by Uemura Tsune 1922. Shohaku Art Museum, Nara, Japan.

Yang Guifei was one of the Four Beauties of China. She was also one of the victims of the era of the An Lushan rebellion, an eight year civil war that radically transformed China from a tolerant nation to an anti-foreigner one. An Lushan was a Turkic rebel that had served as a general in Tang China. He bore a Sogdian name, likely due to childhood adoption by a Sogdian step-father that had wed his Turkic mother from the elite Ashide clan. He was also adopted by Chinese consort Yang Guifei. Though, because Yang Guifei's cousin feuded with An Lushan prior to his rebellion the Tang emperor's soldiers sought her execution. They accused her cousin of causing An Lushan to rebel and also accused him of treason via conspiracy with the Tibetans. The Tang emperor sat idle while the soldiers killed his favorite consort, fearful they would depose him if he defended her too fiercely. Her family was also killed, regardless of their innocence:

"When tourists go to Huaqing Springs in Xi’an today, they can bathe in hot water as she allegedly did when the aging Emperor first saw her among the court women. She is said to have formed a friendship with An Lushan, who became a general of Chinese troops despite his Central Asian origins; she may have even adopted An Lushan as a son. Both Yang Guifei and An Lushan are described as dancing the “whirl,” a Central Asian dance which can be seen in pictures of the Tang court preserved in Dunhuang’s caves on the Silk Road. The Emperor is believed to have been so in love with Yang Guifei, he neglected his duties. The location of Yang’s death is as famous as that of her bath; guidebooks will tell you exactly the location of Ma Lei Station, the place where she was throttled, hanged, or forced to commit suicide by the Emperor’s disgruntled associates." (taken from Columbia.edu)

"In this tense situation, soldiers of the imperial guard declared that Yang Guozhong was planning treason in collaboration with the Tibetan emissaries. They killed Yang Guozhong, his son Yang Xuan (楊暄), Consort Yang's sisters, the ladies of Han and Qin, and Wei Fangjin. (Wei Jiansu was severely injured and nearly killed, but was spared at the last moment.) Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Rou (裴柔) and his son Yang Xi (楊晞), along with Consort Yang's sister, the Lady of Guo, and her son Pei Hui (裴徽) tried to flee, but were killed. The soldiers then surrounded Emperor Xuanzong's pavilion and refused to leave, even after the Emperor came out to comfort them and ordered them to disperse. Emperor Xuanzong then sent Gao Lishi to ask General Chen Xuanli for his advice. Chen's reply was to urge the Emperor to put Consort Yang to death." (taken from Wikipedia)

[shinsengumi-archives]

I’m back (after writing a 55 pg fic so far). I’m trying to wrap my head around Soji’s timeline and pouring over the timeline you have posted.

In September 1867 Soji becomes seriously ill - does he stay with the Shinsengumi still during that time I’m guessing?

January 1868 - I assume he went to Osaka for the battle of Toba-Fushimi but he doesn’t take part in it? He stays behind with Kondo who was shot in the shoulder?

February 4 - they sail to Edo, and I assume Soji is with them? And this is his first time on a ship?

Feb? ?? - Okita’s sister Mitsu and Okita Rintaro left (which I’m guessing they were in contact and it’s unknown how they parted)

February 28ish - This is when Soji goes to Matsumoto Ryojin’s clinic and is staying at Matsumoto’s house at Imado shrine.

March 24 - so a month later the Shinsengumi goes to Kofu Castle and stays in Hino which is still in Edo where I’m guessing Soji gets bad/feverish and can’t travel so this is actually where they officially leave him at Uekiya Heigoro’s house? In the “site of Okita Souji’s death” post you say it was the end of February when he moved there (which would be a month prior to this when he was going to Matsumoto’s clinic - so I just want to clarify that it was around the end of March that Okita moved to Heigoro’s house.

Sometime in March (before the 28th) - the Shinsengumi visits Soji and he smiles and doesn’t let them know how sick he is so they won’t worry.

March 28-April 25 - the shinsengumi are pretty much all around Edo until Kondo is beheaded in May and Hijikata gets injured at the Battle of Utsunomiya Castle - Where does Hijikata go?

July 19 - *sobs* we lose him. So he’s at the house alone and suffering from end of March to July? 4 months. And in those four months, he did visit Kondo’s wife Tsune and daughter Tama at Joganji Temple in Nakano (when was this?).

Let me know if I missed anything we know about Soji here as well!

Thank you so much and super grateful. I want to learn as much as I can and flesh out the timeline a bit so I can fully understand what he experienced and how he lived up until the end.

Hi @sayitcanonlybeme, sorry for the extremely late reply. I've gone back to grad school and have been busy with classes/projects for the past few months, so I haven't been able to be active on Tumblr until the holidays.

The timeline was posted a long time ago when I first started learning about the Shinsengumi, so there are inaccuracies, especially mixups between Lunar calendar and Western calendar dates.

Here are the events with details and corrections:

September 1867 Soji becomes seriously ill

It's not clear exactly when he became ill, but according to Japanese Wiki Corpus:

according to Kanefumi NISHIMURA's "Mibu Roshi Shimatsuki", he [Okita Souji] was seriously ill around September when the quarters were moved to Fudodo Village; and in a letter to Kondo dated October 13, Kojima wrote that he was worried about Okita's worsening condition. Given the above, when Okita's health condition worsened so critical that he could not bear fighting was from autumn to winter in 1867. It is also thought that his intense exercise might have been an added burden on his lungs and aggravated his illness.

I'm not sure whether the dates are Lunar or Western calendar, but September is October on the Western calendar. Here's a useful calendar converter.

January 1868 - I assume he went to Osaka for the battle of Toba-Fushimi

He was first staying at Kondo Isami’s mistress’s house in Rokujo, Kyoto, not far from Fushimi (according to this article and this article). Abe Juro arrived there on the morning of December 18 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: January 12, 1868), hoping to assassinate Okita. He later mentioned in the "Shidankai Sokkiroku" (史談會速記錄), "However there was no one there but one woman, who after interrogation admitted that there was an Okita Souji the other night who at 10PM returned to Fushimi. It was really regrettable."

December 18 was also the day Kondo got shot in the right shoulder on his way from Nijo Castle (more info).

They were both sent to Osaka Castle to receive medical care, so neither of them participated in the fighting that started on January 3 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: January 27).

February 4 - they sail to Edo

According to this article, Kondo, Hijikata, and Okita boarded the Shogunate's ship Fujisanmaru on January 10 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: February 3).

(image sources: [1] [2])

Nagakura boarded the Jundomaru which left a day earlier. Out of the 150 Shinsengumi members, 116 remained. They went back to Edo on those two ships along with the rest of the Shogunate army.

The Fujisanmaru arrived at Shinagawa, Edo on January 15. Kondo and Okita went to a medical clinic in Kanda Izumibashi (神田和泉橋) to receive treatment from Matsumoto Ryojun. The rest of the Shinsengumi stayed at a garrison in Kajibashi Gate (鍛冶橋門).

This is likely Okita's first time traveling on a ship since the Shinsengumi originally arrived in Kyoto on foot and there are no other records of Okita making long journeys.

Feb? ?? - Okita’s sister Mitsu and Okita Rintaro left

Okita Mitsu and Rintaro evacuated along with the Shinchogumi's sponsor, the Lord of the Shonai domain Sakai Tadazumi, to the Shonai domain in northern Japan (source).

Since Souji wasn't fit for travel, he was left behind in Edo. According to the Okita Family Records, they left him on February 26 (Lunar calendar, Western calendar: March 19, 1868). However, according to this article, Mitsu and Rintaro left in March (lunar calendar), so I'm not sure which date is more accurate.

According to the Shinsengumi's financial records, Okita withdrew money to pay a carpenter on February 26 (lunar) to repair Uekiya's house in Sendagaya where he spent his final days, so he had either just moved in or was about to move there when Mitsu left.

February 28ish - This is when Soji goes to Matsumoto Ryojin’s clinic

I think February 28ish (lunar) is when he left Matsumoto Ryojun's clinic.

According to this article:

In January of Keio 4, Matsumoto Ryojun was summoned by a certain Hiraoka, a young official of the shogunate, and receive news that "The wounded from the Battle of Toba-Fushimi were returning to Edo, and that they should be given temporary hospitalization at the residences of the lords". As if following in the footsteps of the Shogunate's army, news spread that Satsuma-Choshu army had moved eastward and was coming to Edo. Most of the wounded had already been cured, and more than 30 patients were treated at Imado. He built his own dormitory in a corner of the grounds of the shrine in Imado, where he lived, and built a hospital building in Shofukuji Temple, which was used as a field hospital, and moved his own patients there as well. The Shinsengumi, defeated in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in Keio 4, returned to Edo aboard the Fujisanmaru and were transported from the Kamaya (釜屋, an inn/teahouse) in Shinagawa to a medical clinic in Okachimachi, Kanda Izumibashi, and then to a field hospital in Shofukuji, where Kondo Isami and Okita Souji were treated by Matsumoto Ryojun, but this is only speculation.

So it's not clear when they went to each location, but from that article, it sounds like Okita went to Matsumoto's clinic at Imado Shrine shortly after arriving in Edo.

March 24 - so a month later the Shinsengumi goes to Kofu Castle and stays in Hino

They went to Kofu on March 24 (Western calendar, Lunar calendar: March 1), so it makes sense that after Okita got too sick in Hino, he was left behind and eventually sent to Uekiya's house in Sendagaya.

He was probably either about to move in or already living in Uekiya's house before he left towards Kofu, since he took out money for renovations on February 26 (lunar).

Sometime in March (before the 28th) - the Shinsengumi visits Soji

Since Nagakura assumed Okita died at Imado in his diary, most Shinsengumi members probably didn't know that he was staying at Uekiya's house starting from March. They were probably trying to keep his location secret to keep him safe.

Since Kondo was captured soon after the Battle of Koshu-Katsunuma, it's unlikely that he ever visited Okita again.

Hijikata did go back to Edo for a short time after that battle, so it's possible that he could have visited Okita, but he was busy pleading Kondo's case and preparing for battle.

It's also possible that a few other trusted Shinsengumi members knew Okita's whereabouts and visited him. Since they didn't want to tell Okita about Kondo's death, it could mean that Okita was still in touch with some Shinsengumi members.

March 28-April 25 - the shinsengumi are pretty much all around Edo until Kondo is beheaded in May and Hijikata gets injured at the Battle of Utsunomiya Castle

At the Battle of Utsunomiya, Hijikata was shot in his right foot on April 23, so he was carried from the battlefield on Shimada Kai's back.

On April 29, Hijikata arrived near Aizu-Wakamatsu and stayed at Shimizuya Inn, which had hot springs, to recover from his wound.

He learned about Kondo's death while he was there and built a tombstone for him at the nearby Tenneiji temple.

On July 1, he left to visit his men.

A month later, he went back to the battlefield to fight the Battle of Aizu.

(source)

July 19 - *sobs* we lose him. So he’s at the house alone and suffering from end of March to July? 4 months. And in those four months, he did visit Kondo’s wife Tsune and daughter Tama at Joganji Temple in Nakano

He died on July 19 (Western calendar). He might have been lonely without his loved ones, but I don't think he was alone since Uekiya’s rice cooker was taking care of him and he probably saw other doctors after Matsumoto left.

He visited Kondo’s wife and daughter at Joganji Temple, but I don't think there would be any records where we could find the date since he was in hiding and trying to keep his movements secret.

According to the quote from this article from "Shinsengumi Imon" (新選組遺聞) by Shimozawa Kan:

Isami's family, his wife Tsune and his mother-in-law Keiko (瓊子), moved out of their house in Ushigome shortly after Isami left for Koshu and moved to the outskirts of Edo. They rented room at a temple called Joganji in Nomurahongo.

In the Shinsengumi's financial records, there's a withdrawal on February 28 (lunar) for the house in Ushigome where Kondo’s wife and child lived, which might be related to the move.

So Okita probably visited them in Joganji some time between March and July.

This article (from the "Joganji Records" (成願寺誌)) describes what his final days were like:

Edo was already crawling with government troops with Imperial Brocades, but Uekiya, where Souji was staying, was a safe haven in Ikejiribashi, a very lonely place at the time, where the sound of watermills over the river echoed and there was hardly anyone to be seen at night. Although safe, it must have been too lonely for the young Souji. Sometimes he would go by palanquin to Joganji temple, about a ri away [a 1 hour walk]. He would stay there for days and days. He had an incurable disease, and he probably knew better than anyone else that his death was approaching. Unable to endure the loneliness and desolation, he would come to the temple and soak in the warmth of the unchanging affection of the mother and child, and how comforted he was by that.

Let me know if there's anything I didn't cover or if you have any more questions.

I would really like to read the fic you wrote, if you don't mind sharing it - nvm, found it :)

Words for me to find:

Darling, Friendship, Fond, Tender, Relationship

Words for you to find:

Sweetheart, Doll, Partner, Love, Heart

Darling - (Valus [incubus] X Reader)

Ah... the only time I use darling appears to be within a sex scene so I can't share it. But it's there, promise.

Friendship - (What are Friends For?)

"Of course. That's what friends are for," he nodded, attempting to reassure her with a smile, "you can always call for me. I'll beat them up next time." Saphira returned his smile weakly, following him to the other end of the beach. Angeal would do so much to help his friends, including do some thinking ahead for them. Stopping a fight was best, but she really did wish she could have broke that guy's arm or something. Well… there's always next time.

Fond - (Honeysuckle)

“These are peonies. One of my favorites, honestly,” Mako smiled. “They take a while to establish, but they’re very fragrant flowers. And they taste great. A little peachy. I remember them from my life fondly, as is similar to the rest of the garden.”

Tender - (In the Glow of Love)

Arin lifted her head to say something, but her words were lost as she met his eyes in the silvery light. In his eyes, she found a tender warmth she hadn't realized she craved, a sweetness that enveloped her like a gentle caress. Unable to tear her gaze away, she surrendered to the magnetic pull between them, drawn inexorably closer. Tsune's free hand gently took her cheek, guiding her face nearer to his. Arin's eyes fluttered shut as their lips met, a soft collision that sent a jolt of electricity coursing through their veins. They surrendered to the intoxicating rush of emotion, their kiss deepening as they lost themselves in each other's embrace.

Relationship - (Always Time for an Old Friend)

"Yep. Haha… exes around every corner," Thalia remarked wryly, pushing her empty glass aside. Kuzan's expression darkened slightly at the mention of Thalia's past relationships. While it was inevitable for everyone to confront their past eventually, Thalia's history was fraught with danger. It was only a matter of time before a more… volatile ex popped up to cause her trouble. A troubling thought for Kuzan.

Yeah so there they are! Hope you like the excerpts I could share, lmao.

(translation+lyrics) 革命のヴィラネス by BΣretta Crossrain

Yeah another one I had tled a while ago but had no time to post. Lyrics down below the cut and see you all next time.

-------------------------------------

革命のヴィラネス Kakumei no Viranesu (Revolutionary Villainess)

Composer: Yoda Takeru

Vocalist: BΣretta Crossrain

Shinzuru seigi ga tame Saa ima kakumei no noroshi wo

For the justice we believe in Light the fire of this revolution

Throw away useless emotions I have to endure it Trust only my both hands Don't look back. Just move on

Osore mo urei sae mo Kono ayumi wo tomeru kase to shite amari ni karuku

My fear and my grief Are like brittle shackles unable to stop me

Kaze ni mau you na usui kotoba de wa Daremo watashi shibare wa shinai

Faint words are carried by the wind I won’t let anyone bind me

Saa takaraka ni hanki wo hiragaeshite Kinou made no zokushiki wo sugu ni uchiotose Sendatsusha usopuku kousetsu kansei de ima mogaki keshita nara Kakumei no hibuta wa sude ni kirareteiru

Now proudly raise the banner of revolution even higher And overthrow the vulgarities of the past Drown away our predecessor’s dogma The flare of revolution has been ignited

Mayoi wa tou no mukashi ni sutesatta Migite ni wa seigi wo hidarite ni wa kakugo wo

I’ve long since discarded my doubts All I hold now is justice in my right hand and resolve on my left hand

Kizutsuku koto mo kizutsukeru koto mo itowanai to chikatta

Even if hurt I'll continue to hurt them Such is the oath I’ve taken

Onore no hinkaku kagasanu tame ni Shitoyakayori shitataka ni are

So as not to taint your dignity I’ll be tough rather than graceful

Saa takaraka ni shouri wo ten ni hoe yo Kaburi wo tareta orokamono ni jihi wa nashi Chou no you ni hachi no you ni karei ni dorokusaku tatakae

Now proclaim your victory loudly towards the heavens No mercy for the fools who bow their heads Like a butterfly, like a bee, fight gracefully yet deadly

Kagi wo kaketa torikago no naka ni etsukeru te Wasure wa shinai darou Saredo watashi wa nidoto furikaeranai Tatoe katsute no tomo wo kono te de yakiharau koto ni nattemo

Being hand fed within a locked birdcage I will not forget Yet I won’t go back to those days I’ve prepared to burn anything with these hands, even past friends

Aa motometa no wa tada jiyuu dake datta Hirogaru sora takaku kakeru yume wo miru Hitori no itami mo kizanda kizu mo Jiki ni ieru darou

All that I yearn for now is freedom To see my dreams rise higher than the skies The pain of loneliness and that of my wounds It’ll fade away soon

Saa takaraka ni shouka wo utai age yo Nozomi kogareta shouri wa ima kono te ni ari Onore wo tataeyo sono ashi de susume jishin de hiraita michi Kakumei no eiyuu tsune ni kodoku de are

Now chant our hymn loudly The victory we’ve yearned for is within our grasp Praise yourself and march on this path For the hero of the revolution is always in solitude

kako ni wa somukete daremo shiranu villain

an unknown villain turning away from the past

己龍 - 月下美人 [Moonlit Beauty]

JP Lyrics: Mitsuki Sakai | EN translation: me:3

Note: a detour from shuka ensen buuut that album is giving me a hard time so here's one of my fav singles! notes at the end as usual, but this time i'm trying something different putting short notes by the lyrics! lmk if this is too distracting :-)

This song is a pretty lightweight one where the speaker talks about the youthful arrogance of someone else. I didn't really do it justice since Japanese lacks pronouns which makes translating to English sound quite clunky, but I hope you get it!

-

Iro ha nihohe to chirinuru wo wakayotare so tsune naramu [this is basically the Japanese ABC's]

This is paradise on Earth Crouching down, I close my eyes 1

"Can't see"

"Can't speak"

"Can't hear"

"Can't touch"

"Can't feel" [i.e., emotionally]

...Am I dreaming?

On my deathbed, my head hangs down, for I am already a withered corpse

If you just sliced the stitches holding up my weak points... 2

I scream: the flowers bloom with dazzling colour Shouting as if I've got control over my life 3

The shadows of yesterday are beckoning From the emptiness that surrounds me

If I shake off the dizzying pain Just reach toward the light and shout

["to touch it in a dream would be..."]Dreams are fleeting But if I can touch the real thing, I'll be sure

Iro ha nihohe to chirinuru wo wakayotare so tsune naramu

Uwi no oku yamake fukoete asaki yumemishi

You cover your eyes with both hands, lamenting the darkness

Wallowing [lit. rotting] in your self-pity Your head's so far in the clouds, it's comical

On my deathbed, my head hangs down, for I am already a withered corpse

That incessant, nagging [lit. pecking like a bird] pain has become my whole reality

Crying out, my skin goes pale It's "transparent", yet "richly coloured"

I just have to be myself Still surrounded with emptiness

If I look back, I see a sweet and colourless nectar To get drunk may be to delude myself, but my heart feels so full

Dreams are fleeting But if I can touch the real thing, I'll be sure

Life blooms, wilts, falls, withers, then ends

On a moonlit night, when the time is marked by the flowers blooming 4

Will you let yourself become a living corpse? Or will you cry out for your life til the day you die?

Will you sway with the wind holding onto a dream? Will you sway with the wind and hold onto the present?

I scream: the flowers bloom with dazzling colour Shouting as if I've got control over my life

The shadows of yesterday are beckoning From the emptiness that surrounds me

If I shake off the dizzying pain Just reach toward the light and shout

Dreams are fleeting But if I can touch the real thing, I'll be sure

Iro ha nihohe to chirinuru wo Waka yotare sotsune naramu

Uwi no oku yamake fukoete asaki yumemishi wehi mo sesu

1: "closed eyes" as used in this sentence is a wordplay. The way it's usually spelled is 目閉じる (to close one's eyes), but the song spells it 眠綴じる, which has the same pronunciation except 綴じる means "to bind" or "to file", for example like folders in a file cabinet or a stack of papers bound together.

2: I took a lot of liberty translating this because the "weak point" mentioned is a difficult-to-translate Sanskrit -> Japanese concept. To put it literally: "If you cut off the buds of marman sewn together". In Sanskrit, marman is a "weak point", which can refer to any weak part of the body (both spiritual or literal) or the "core" of any being.

3: Literally "as if I'm spinning the threads of my own life/fate", I know this does make sense to an English-speaker but it's just...so much longer a phrase in English and this translation already sounds characteristically "translated from Japanese" enough 😭

4: This is referring to flowers which only bloom at nighttime, for example the evening primrose. The point is that the speaker has lost track of time and only knows what the time is because the nighttime flowers began to bloom.

wheres the piss comic art tsune *looks at yous*

I'm sorry I have college 😔 maybe one day

[withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus]

I dunno why i don't have this clip on my pc anymore but going through my non wip playlist I found the song and I was like damn when was the last time I watched the pv? Anyway. It still feels like a breath of fresh air. D was the kind of band that gave me comfort pretty early on. They felt safe, and like family. One of the first vkei bands I dared admit I felt this way for. Things sure have changed now, but it doesn't change the fact they played a major role in my life and healing, as well as my writing. I limit myself to mostly Ruiza posts nowadays, cause he's my favorite in the band and 2nd favorite guitarist in general, but don't get it twisted. I usually post mostly about jrockers I feel more comfortable fangirling openly about, not who I ONLY am a fan of nowadays. For 12 years I let everyone I felt was relatable to me through and closed the doors in 2015 at 64-5 jrockers. Only 2 of them have exited since then and that's cause they turnt out to be arseholes beyond my limits. Otherwise I don't forget and I don't get over people that made my miserable life worth living. With D, I couldn't relate to Tsune and Hiroki much, so while I love them, my fangirling had always had a limit. Ruiza, Hide Zou and Asagi though are a whole other case and each of them means so so much to me.

When I get the energy to continue my recommendation series and get to the letter D, I sure have lots to share but even without my help, if you like Versailles and Malice Mizer, you should definitely try browsing D songs on youtube. They too revolve their music around mainly 1 story, although there are a couple on the side as well cause Asagi had always been into storytelling and it shows from his solo project as well. As for how to go on a research around a band with such name? Add "pv" next to it. I too suffered when I first started and when I got the keywords right it helped a lot. So yeah "D pv" or "D asagi" will do. Most foreign fans seemed to be obsessed with Asagi when I got into it for the first time and it was easier finding content for everyone that way.

Everyone in Team Kajisak's Renai Revolution 21

🔴🔴 Kajisak 6th Festival ~Kajisak Family ・ Tsune Family ・ Rio-chan also is Coming~🔴🔴 

🎫Stream

I watched all of it! Again, really, congratulations on your 6th anniversary!

I finished watched the stream the next day, But I ended up being late to updating my blog, (Its not an obligation though!)

I update my blog daily, In particular, on the day I performed at Rockin'.. On the first day of my last tour.. Greeting my 13th anniversary on September 29th.. On those days, I do my best, To be able to write an update by the end of the day but, I really want to put it down and write about it🧐 But the momentum of the day is also important🧐 ..I'm writing this while also thinking about it

Its been like this for the whole 13 years! lol Probably in these last 2 months as well! lol

The timing was really a coincidence even with timing of before my graduation, I was only able to do this because I'm a member of Morning Musume, I'm grateful for this connection🐣🪽

The opening was cool! I was also impressed by Haru-chan dancing alone! The hearts made by the couples was too cute! and such,

I have a lot of excitement I want to share but⚠️

I was able to, as a job, Retaining the Renai Revolution 21 part…

Everyone in Team Kajisak-san's, Renai Revolution 21🪩✨️

Everyone!! You danced very beautifully!!

.😭❤️

But first, um,

the costumes! lol

With the image of Renai Revolution, I heard they were going to unify it like that but!

The unified interpretation in black…! lol

I ended up laughing but,

Once they start dancing, I could tell they were serious about it right away😂😂

They had really good expressions! They were doing their utmost but seemed to be having fun!

The moment they spread out from pose and turn, With Kajisak-san in the center, The change in expression was wonderful💃 He really suited being the center💃

The moment they spread out, Tonbo-san's expression was also wonderful🧚🏻

Seeing the wow… from the side, Tsune-san's hips were moving enough where they still seemed active, The sharpness was the best🍍 The costumes suited them🍍

At the same spot Yasutake-san too, The feeling of where their hips and hands were was perfect🦩 The twin tails were cute🦩

With the "Aisuru Hito yo" series (TL: the one I love) I had the impression that they were struggling during practice but, The way they walked and turned around, It was properly in place!!! It was a team!!!

Also in terms of the camera angle for the stream, Because it was shot to show everyone from the side, It was worth seeing!!!

Its fun when the "chou chou chou ii kanji…" starts,

Just a bit from Kajisak-san, Tonbo-san and Yasutake-san brush hands, When they make eye contact, I felt that it was a memorable scene in the video, It was the best entertainment💃🧚🏻🦩

Following Ryuuji-san on screen, I could see he was dancing without hesitation…🔮 It shows that they practiced a lot…🔮

They seemed happy the whole time, They were trying to hum along to it..? As they were dancing, Yoshitomi-san was also happy🧶

In the most difficult interlude as well, Everyone completed the dance properly!

Tsune-san's baby.. part was cool🍍

The brisk feel of, Break down like.. It was as expected from Kajisak-san🎈

Yasutake-san doing the 21, I felt that the way they bent over their legs in a clean close, was something charming that could only come out after practice🦩

In the final chorus everyone crosses paths, Tonbo-san spread their arms and waved, The best idol🧚🏻

The angle of Ryuuji-san's final pose was great🔮 Ryuuji-san did it well the whole time🔮

With just Yoshitomi-san, Before gathering in the center for the final pose, They did a turn

Teaching it so they'll make it to the central point on time, I left that out but, we do it in the original..

I don't know, if he knew that but, I felt happy that they challenged it🧶

The yellow sky after the end of the song was great too🐝🐝🐝 lol

Also appearing as a surprise guest was,

Niigaki Risa-san!!!!!

She was cool!!!!! And sparkling!!!!!

The reason my concept of idols changed, The reason I came to like it, the "cool" parts of Morning Musume, I think a big part of that was Niigaki-san's singing voice

I like what I like but, Seeing them overlap on stage like this, It was a really fun stage💚

Excuse me I wrote about my impressions too much!

I wanted to praise them a lot!

Watching the stream, I liked the warmth and cuteness of the space~🎈 I realized that during this time🎈 Thank you very much

I'll support them from now on🎈

想いきり - omoikiri -> indigo la end || english + romaji

song: 想いきり - omoikiri artist: indigo la end year released: 2017

english lyrics:

“how many lovers came before me?” your empty eyes stare back into my soul i tried to let it slide but i ended up, with a sigh the words come tumbling out of my mouth \when i think of parts of you i don’t like but somehow i find myself falling, even more

these feelings tear my mind and life apart the more they grow vines around my heart the lovelier they seem to me there’s no way i’ll leave even if there’s little to like every single flaw of yours strikes a thought that you could truly be the one for me

every minute spills into the next just as i thought that i would be over this another minute passes that i must lift that’s the way it is a cross may turn into a triangle though a circle is something it’ll never reach but once in a while when it breaks free, it’s lovely

these feelings tear my mind and life apart the more they grow vines around my heart the lovelier they seem to me there’s no way i’ll leave even if there’s little to like every single flaw of yours strikes a thought that you could truly be the one for me

something like give and take isn’t it just more reason to play? there’s no way you’d know how to love in a forgiving way

these feelings tear my mind and life apart the more they grow vines around my heart the lovelier they seem to me there’s no way i’ll leave even if there’s little to like every single flaw of yours strikes a thought that you could truly be the one for me
