Link of the Day [6.20.08]

broderic on June 20, 2008

Aya Hirano was Haruhi Suzumiya. She’s also a singer in Japan. And if you would listen to the previous posts for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya songs that I posted you would hear her rocking out. I especially love “God Knows” which I think is my summer anthem of 2008. It fracking rocks like no one’s business and is so cool that I don’t even care what the lyrics mean.

Anyhow, she’s got a new album coming out. Check the link for a preview of the title track.

BTW, she’s cute as all get out as well.

Quote of the Day [5.19.08]

渇いた心で駆け抜ける
ごめんね何もできなくて
痛みを分かち合うことさえ
あなたは許してくれない

無垢に生きるために振り向かず
背中向けて　去ってしまう
on the lonely rail

私ついていくよ
どんな辛い世界の闇の中でさえ
きっとあなたは輝いて
超える未来の果て
弱さ故に魂こわされぬように
my　way　重なるよ
いまふたりに　God bless…

1st verse of “God Knows…” from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Are you an alien?

This screencap was sitting on my desktop. It was interesting enough that I wanted to share it with you. She’s annoyed.

Lost My Music

The last of the rocking songs from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Sort of punk-pop, hunh?

Turning Japanese

The previous post is a test of your system. I just wanted to see if that Japanese characters would show up on your browser.

It works for all my Macs. I just love that.

At work, the computer at my desk chokes on that and I get nothing but empty squares or some other junk. The computer I use in the lab renders the kanji well. I posted that quote from there. It’s interesting to see it, too, a cut and paste job from a browser into an email. I was surprised XP kept up.

Anyway, here’s the translation for those interested. It’s the first verse.

答えはいつも私の胸に・・・
なんでだろう　あなたを選んだ私です
もうとまらない　運命様から決められたけど
I believe 真似だけじゃつまらないの
You'll be right!
感じるまま感じることだけをするよ冒険でしょでしょ！？　ホントが嘘に変わる世界で
夢があるから強くなるのよ　誰の為じゃない一緒に来てくださいっ
どこまでも自由な私を見てよね
明日過去になった今日のいまが奇跡
I believe you… Bouken Desho Desho?
From The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

God Bless Haruhi Suzumiya

This song actually rocks. And the English version isn’t bad also. Someone should cover it. What’s the chords and stuff?! RockBand
