wearing: a hot pink nightgown with black lace, and black lacey shorts! its so cozy n me core :3

media that summarizes me: like... summarizes my personality? my interests?? hmm... im not really. sure what would really summarize me for my personality? maybe some of my fave things since they tend to have quite an effect on me?

the sonic series i think is a good representation of how im unashamed to be genuine to myself, positive and loving what i love and not caring about being cringy. and it absolutely influenced my love for rockin music, colorful series with darker stories, and edgy antiheroes lol.

maybe system of a down would be a good thing to mention here too, i love all of their music and they definitely have rockin high energy music that can get really wacky sometimes, and ive always had a love for weird shit and identified with being weird!

for my fave instruments... id probably say the violin and piano. i really love the sound of them, and i like how much emotion they can evoke!

favourite author: ...i dont have one fkxbjf i havent read a book in years and even when i used to read more i didnt have one. could i just say yoshihiro togashi since he created the manga of my fave anime (yu yu hakusho) lmao?

CalmWriMo Day 16 and 17

Word Count: 1530

Had a lot of fun with the writing I've done these days.

Yesterday I took my laptop to work with me with the intention of working on the Ellis prompt. I then remembered I don't have internet at my job so instead worked on the script for a visual novel I've been working on.

Ha, actually don't think I've talked about that project here yet. I plan to keep working on that one quietly for a bit longer before I really go into detail here.

For today I worked on revising a flash fiction piece for one of my classes. While most of it was just fixing some grammar and tense issues, I'm still working on making sure I don't accidentally mix them, I basically rewrote the back half of the piece. The original version was... ok but not very clear on what was going on. I feel this got fixed with the rewrite but I'll have to wait for feedback to be sure.

I do have music that I listened to while working on it though. This one fit so well and I could see it being the backing track to it, in that imagined adaptation all writers have for their work XD.

Comment from Yoshihiro Ike from The Sound of Tiger & Bunny pamphlet.

If this is translated somewhere please let me know and I’ll link to it.

[unlimitedhorsepower]

Ryan's villain-esque theme is so funny to me. And then his intro of popping out of the surprise ball like RAHHHH it's me Golden Ryan I've stolen Kotetsu's job. Here every reporter let me crush you with my gravity dome. Like actually why did he do that LMFAO. Destroyed all the expensive champagne glass pyramids too. Champagne and glass shards everywhere. And for what

Ik that Rising was born out of "we won't get a 2nd season" desperation but the plot of the Rising would've been a great plot over an entire season. It would've been way more obvious Ryan was introduced as a fakeout villain when he's just annoying bc they wouldn't have had to reveal him as Some Guy who's a hero as a career not bc he has a heart of justice in under half an hour.

Would've been funny. To me

Excerpts of Liner notes from the Tiger & Bunny 2 OST including commentary from Ike Yoshihiro, composer.

Thank you dear Anon for the scans.

TN: I come from a classical music background (piano and flute), so I took some liberties with these translations to incorporate some musical terminology usually used when describing compositions. I'm hoping the intent remains. I wanted to translate as a composer would speak naturally in English.

MESSAGE

ファンのみなさんへメッセージ

Message to the fans:

The first thing I would like to say, is though the show seems to be over, the protagonists' stories continue in everyone's mind. With you, they are evolving, and "TIGER & BUNNY" will not end. Please don't forget to love those who continue to carry on among everyone. I hope you enjoy this soundtrack in that time.

Ike Yoshihiro

(TN: I sometimes still cry when I listen to these pieces and watch the scenes they are associated with...)

Yuri

「The Voice of Thanatos」のメロディのアレンジで進めた曲です。作曲には時間が掛かりました。というのも、発注をいただいた当時はまだ脚本が最後まで来上がっていなかったんです。だからプロデューサーには「最後を見るまでは・・・」と曲の完成をギリギリまで待ってもらいました。待ってもらっていることについて、申し訳ないなぁと思いつつも、どうしても結果まで受け取らないと使にはユーリの曲は作れなかったです。

ユーリらしく、正義と自分の意志を貫くことを音にしたくて。

ユーリってご存知の通りものすごく深い過去を持っているんですよね。顔についた手形のことも、本当に深い話だから、そのあたりが崩れないように意識をしました。あとはユーリの生き様も流れ聞こえていたので、僕の想いのままにレクイエムになってしまわないように細心の注意を払っての創作でもありました。なおかつ、もしもオーケストラコンサートがあったときには、ちゃんと演奏できるようにオーケストレーションもしてあるので、そのまま演奏できます。だって演奏したいですから。この曲は（笑）！

It is a piece that proceeds with a melodic arrangement of "The Voice of Thanatos". It took a long time to compose because when it was requested (TN: Ike uses "ordered") the script had not been completed. I asked the producer to wait until the last minute to finish the song, saying "Until I see the end ..." I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I couldn't compose Yuri's song without knowing his ending.

Like Yuri, I wanted to create a composition where I could carry out justice with my own will. As you know, Yuri has a very deep past. The handprint on his face has a really intense story, and he didn't crumble from those circumstances. Yuri's way of life was also heard flowing through the piece, so it took great care for it not to become a requiem according to my thoughts. If there is an orchestral concert, there is a full score you can use to play it properly as it is written. I want to play this song (laughs)!

Lunatic

ルナティックの勇敢な部分や禁を正した感じがある曲です。

曲の入りは”正義”を全面に。そこからだんだん「さよなら、ルナテイック」になっていきます。本当はルナティックの銀魂歌も作りたかったのですが、使うところがないのはわかっていたので作りませんでした（笑）。豪華な音になっているのは、コンサートをやるくらいの大編成のオーケストラでレコーディングをしたからなんです。

アメリカのミュージシャンだちからも「こんなにすごい曲を、なにに使うの？」って言われましたね。「すごいね、アニメーションでこういう曲を使うんだ！？」って驚かれもしました。「どんなシーンにかかるの？」って聞かれて、「最もヒロイックなヒーローの最期のところかもしれない」と言いました。作っている最中は自分をしないとどんどん曲が長くなっていったと思いますね。レクイエム的な要素

を入れずにはいられなかっただろうとも思いました。コンサートがやれた晩にはレクイエムを作っちゃおうかな。

It's a piece that has a feeling of the brave parts and prohibitive justice of Lunatic.

The entrance of the song is full of "justice", and from there, it gradually becomes "Goodbye, Lunatic". I really wanted to compose a song with Lunatic's iron spirit, but I didn't, because I knew there was no place to use it (laughs). The reason why it sounds gorgeous, is because I recorded it with a large orchestra that had enough members for a concert.

Even the American musicians said, "What is such a wonderful song used for?" And "Amazing! This piece is used in animation!?" I was surprised. I was asked: "What kind of scene takes place (when it is used)?" I replied, "It may be used for the ending of the most heroic hero." I think the piece would have gotten longer and longer if I didn't watch myself while composing. I also I couldn't help including requiem-like elements. I think I'd like to compose a requiem on the night of the concert.

「さよなら、ルナテイック」　正直のヒロイックなヒーロですね😭😭😭🫡
