JANUARY 2003

Auch, I made mistake the other day on Favorite section... (blush) I was too busy looking for Memories (One Piece ending theme) and Mr. Yasunori Mitsuda's profile (hm... I'm talking as if he's so old, but he's young, really!! Younger than U-ya!) so that I didn't pay attention to my own journal.

(BTW, do you know him? Well, I just began to listen to his work... to be honest I know nothing 'bout him except that he's the composer of games such as Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, etc... and now Breath of Fire V? That's why I want to know more)

(BGM: Memories, One Piece ending theme; BGsrc: Ryuichi Kawamura, there's a magazine with his face at the back-cover, cute!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! [*telat oy!*] It's already 2003! How fast! And I'm getting older... (^^:) To be honest, 2002 wasn't a very good year, if I don't want to call it a bad year.  January: I lost almost all of my books (see, books were the only treasure I had!) in a big flood that came over my town; September-October: I missed some opportunities because my left foot was injured; November: I lost tFOV as they were disbanded and I missed my last chance to watch their live show; December: I lost someone. (^^;) Pretty bad, huh?

I guess things are as fragile as a crystal vase. No matter how hard you keep it save, one little shaking will drop it to the floor. Sometimes it's not about the vase itself, it's about how hard you had it and took care of it. The feeling of realizing that thing you've pursued is so easily taken away from you.

But! Listen to what tFOV said about it. Pretty shocking, yet pretty relieving, as I read U-ya's lyric right in the beginning of the new year. [I think U-ya's writings - both the lyrics and his column in Music Freak Mag - are always a little bit shocking (as far as I understand, not far enough though)... yet he's far wiser and he's pretty much too straight to my weak point (this one makes me afraid of him. I think I'd rather see him in a live show than meet him face to face. He's scary ^^;)]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Let's make this year a better year, shall we? And see you... next month, maybe?

(BGM: Dear Old Days FIELD OF VIEW. For English translation visit: Anime Lyrics, under anime Dragonball GT)

dear old days kawarenai jibun ga iya datta
naze mayotteitan darou?
dear old days ushinau KOTO wa kowakunai yo
ashita wo shinjite itai kara
mamotte bakari ja sou susumenai
bokura no tabi wa tsuzuku owaru koto naku...
