Music to my ears

Kanon Wakeshima’s latest single was out two days ago. I just got to hear the songs today. Once again, Mana-sama has done a brilliant job composing the music for the songs. I have to say that Kanon-san has maintained the wonderfulness of the songs through her interesting lyrics and great cello playing. Brilliant, truly brilliant. The sound of the string instruments are unforgettable and heart-gripping.

The first track Suna no Oshiro has a bit of a dismal beginning but it turns out to be an irony through the whole song. It’s really unique and beautiful, too.

The second track is my absolute favourite. skip turn step gives the listeners a reminder of Malice Mizer, especially some of their songs that consists of a string ensemble like Premier Amour. It brings back sweet memories and moves my heart a lot. I’m glad that this song is not as short as another one of my favourite, Kuroi Torikago, from her first single.

Well, that’s it from me about this single.

Waiting

Today is Thursday. I spoke to my friend. She’s having her holidays on her birthday. I can’t wait.

I’ve decided the following songs for the audition:

Nightmare – Jibun no Hana
L’arc-en-Ciel – Link
L’arc-en-Ciel – New World

I hope I’ll be selected. I have to get my attire done.

I’m currently doing the violin version of Lareine’s Scarlet Majesty. I’ll upload it once it’s finished.

The soundtrack of your own movie

Yesterday, while I was searching for the translation of tetsu69’s song Scarecrow, I encountered this forum where they were discussing about “OST to your own movie”. I found it extremely interesting and it made me curious about other people. So I will put the rules and the questions with my own answers here. You can put it at your own site but don’t forget to give credits and acknowledgements to the members of soompi forums.

Credits to the members of soompi forums (www.soompi.com/forums) for this wonderful idea.
