Beautiful Alone

Houki Boshi by Younha

Houki Boushi is the 3rd ending song of Bleach. 

This video is from Episode 30.

Di ko dati pansin ung ending song.  But when my koibito told me that one of the characters in ending song kinda remind her of Ootori Choutarou, a Hyotei Regular <and one of my characters… Ik… kyuu… nyuu… kon!!!>, I got curious. So I search it in Youtube… and yipeee!!! I got KOTETSU ISANE!!! She’s <yup, she’s an onna> the Lieutenant of 4th Squad Division in Soul Society!!! And she’s so kawaii!!!! Hehehe…

HERE THE LYRICS…

September 16, 2006 - L’Arc~en~Ciel Convention held at Ang Bahay ng Alumni, U.P. Diliman.

They said that the event will be 12noon - 10pm but will officially started at 2pm.  Andun kami ng 11:30am and nagpapasok ng around 12:30.  And 2:30 na pero parang ala  p ring nangyayari… Some booths are not yet prepared, even the sounds. Boring kami ng kasama ko.  The cosplay started at 4:00pm. I was expecting good cosplayers coz it’s L`Arc!!! But only one contestant entered for individual category!!! And the group cosplay??? grrrr!!!!! Boring na nga ung mga cosplayers, the host doesn’t even know how to handle the show!!! Instead n bawiin nila sa pagiging maayos n host, d p nila alam sasabihin nila!!!

Buti na lang, may bands dun… at least nung nagsimula n ung mga banda, medjo nawala boredom ko!!! waahh!!! the first band, BORAZUTERU!!! weehh… their vocalist HACKT looks like HYDE!!! yipeee!!!! same for the voice!!! konting galaw lang para ng HYDE of the Philipinnes!!! ang kulit nya p!!! parang laging wala sa sarili!!! GO HACKT!!! ingatan nya lang ung pinakamamahal nyang stuff toy na bear!!! hehehe…

Then RTSCHRK… kawaii nung vocalist!!!!!!! kala ko girl cia nung nakatalikod but no!!!! he’s a guy!!!! bishie!!!! at ang shiny ng hair!!! bait nya pa!!!! kahit pagod na, pumayag pa rin magpakuha ng pic!!!!! doumo!!!

Sadly, ala ung Do’Ahou!!! though the members are there… Neil was with RTSCHRK as their guitarist and dummer boy X was the drummer of XevenThvrsday.

To every life, there’s always an end,
But I close my eyes, I still see your face; beautiful…
And I throw a rose as they now lower you down
But I still believe I’ll see you again
I wait for the day that I can once more hold you tight
Until then, I can’t cry this pain away
Until then, memories are all I have…

How I long for one more kiss, just to hold you once again
How I long to hear you say "our love’s eternal, never will I
leave from by your side…"

I go my way, I journey on, now ’til forever
With the memory of our last kiss to keep me going
And though I am alone again, I shed not a tear
How beautiful is my loneliness, how great is my pain…

As night skies arrive, the heartache begins
For in every dream, the image of you lingers still
So I walk alone, sleepless, guided by the moon
I know I’ll give to eternal sleep,
And when that day comes, I’ll never again let you go
I’ll pretend that I’m not about to cry
I’ll pretend that these tears are only rain

As I lie awake at night, listening to this quiet rain
As I bow my head in prayer, my wish is that this burning
emptiness inside would heal…

I close my eyes, I turn around, and go on my way
With the dream that somewhere out there, love, you wait for
me, too
And though I am alone again, I shed not a tear
How beautiful is my loneliness, how great is my pain…

I close my eyes, I turn around, and go on my way
With the dream that somewhere out there, love, you wait for
me, too
And though I am alone again, I shed not a tear
How beautiful is my loneliness, how great is my pain…

This is the first translation of “Beautiful Alone”, ending song from Weiss Kreuz.  This translation came from <a href=”http://www.animelyrics.com”>animelyrics</a>.  But now, the site contains another translation and I think the latest version is the literal translation of the song.  Anyway, I like the first one. Actually, this is my favorite anime song.

yipee!!! it’s our 26th!!! otanjoubi koibito!!! and since i do not know how to sing, this song is for you!!!

Of all the things I’ve ever done
Finding you will prove to be the most important one
I would never trade the tears
the conversations no one hears
the learning how to walk before we run

Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down
except the one I sent up with you
I dont wanna change a thing
break the spell or cut the string
when every wish I make is coming true with you

Sometimes I forget to say how much I love you
Purposely I bet cause I’m so busy thinking of you

So in this world of odds and ends
I’d rather have a part of you than all of my so-called friends
You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I’ll start and end with loving you

You have taught me how to feel
What is false and what is real
of all the things I ever wanna do
I think I’ll start and end with loving you

Koori no Mamono no Monogatari

Year 2002, I stopped schooling for a reason I still don’t know myself (or don’t wanna accept). That’s the time when I spent most of my days surfing the net. One day, while looking for an interesting manga, I encountered this title: Koori no Mamono no Monogatari.  I don’t have an idea at first. I was just curious because of the title. Koori means ice, just like the koorime clan of Yuyu Hakusho. I just click the link and then… yippee!!! The art is nice (at least for me) and it’s a shounen-ai!!!

But then, at that time I’m not yet into scanlations so I just got the complete translation from Volume 1 to Volume 24 plus the Gaiden. Another reason is that my PC is not capable of downloading large files.  And after four years, I am now searching for the scanlation but unfortunately, I have a hard time looking for it. But I’m still hoping that I could find the complete scanlations.

Anyway, if you want to read the long summary of each volume, click this site: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~weyrbrat/ The site contains the whole summary from Volume 1 to 24 plus the Gaiden volume.  I would like to thank Amparo Bertman for this.  

Blood and Ishuca

The two main protagonists of the story.

Blood is the one with long blonde hair and Ishuca with short red hair (although not really read with this one).

Wild and Rapunzel

Friend of Blood and Ishuca.

The one with eye-glass is Wild. The braided one is Rapunzel. Wild is a demon while Rapunzel, when he (yup, Rapunzel is guy!!!) was a child, originally a human!!!
