Monday, July 30th, 2007

Charafair045last sunday was another trip to seoul, this time for visiting seoul character fair 2007.  the original plan was to include hou2ari and femmy as the party members.  however, very early in the morning on the d-day, hou2ari canceled the trip, so it was just me and femmy who finally went to the charafair.

the photos of what inside the fair could be seen here.  it quite many photos, but since I had attended last year fair, several booths that presenting the same characters were not on the list for the photos.  and it was femmy who busied herself taking pictures with various costumed charas such as cookie monster, pink panther, etc (though she missed the doraemon :P).  we had funny story too at the end of the trip, but it will be another posting..

get back to work again.  creating a romantic storyline is seriously DIFFICULT!

one more time one more chance

Byousoku5cm_035

How much more do I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?

How many more pains do I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, oh seasons, fade not
Byousoku5cm_036One more time, when we were messing around

Whenever we disagreed, I would always give in first
Your selfish nature made me love you even more
One more chance, the memories restrain my steps
One more chance, I cannot choose my next destination

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight

If I just wanted to avoid loneliness, anybody would have been enough.
Because the night looks like the stars will fall, I cannot lie to myself.
One more time, oh seasons, fade not.
One more time, when we were messing around

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At a street crossing, in the midst of dreams
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”

The memories of summer are revolving
The throbbing which suddenly disappeared

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At dawn on the streets, at Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If my wish were to come true, I would be at your side right away
There would be nothing I couldn’t do
I would put everything on the line and hold you tight

I’m always searching, for fragments of you to appear somewhere
At a traveller’s store, in the corner of newspaper,
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If a miracle were to happen here, I would show you right away
The new morning, who I’ll be from now on
And the words I never said: “I love you.”

I always end up looking for your smile, to appear somewhere
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place
If our lives could be repeated, I would be at your side every time
I would want nothing else
Besides you, nothing else matters

lyrics from ‘byousoku 5cm’ theme song, by masayoshi yamazaki.  originally found from http://www.pireze.org/blog/?p=232

I kinda like this song when first heard it when watching the part one of the movie directed by makoto shinkai.  yesterday, after finally found the subtitle version from the net, the song did struck my head again.  it appeared in the final story, to conclude the whole love story between akari and takaki  when they were junior high school students and then get separated by the distance.  while most of the conclusion was told using various cut scenes and flashbacks, the song provided just the right lyrics to represent the whole story behind..

"If our lives could be repeated, I would be at your side every time.  I would want nothing else. Besides you, nothing else matters.."
