Thoughts on LIVE GRACE -Orchestra-

I've been dying the past two weeks, since I was saving watching LIVE GRACE till I knew the results on my KMD application - that way, it could either serve as a celebration or as something to pick me up after a big disappointed. Glad it wasn't the latter. xD

So yeah! I watched LIVE GRACE yesterday finally! Ah the bliss....

(This is mostly a pic fest because I am too tired to write a lot, plus Nana concerts should be experienced not read about anyway)

The KMD Application Adventure

Yesterday I got accepted into Keio University's Graduate School of Media Design! Holy hell, how amazing is that?! Doing my Master's in Japan is not just a dream any longer. I am so happy right now.

This probably came as a surprise to most people, not because they were doubtful about me getting in, but because they did not know I had already applied there. I made a conscious decision not to really tell anyone about it, only really told the people that I had to tell it to (such as my family + my supervisor, his wife and my Japanese teacher since they wrote recommendations for me), since I did not want a whole bunch of people feeling sorry for me if I happened to fail. I wanted to bear that alone this time around. Don't ask me why. I guess since not getting in would've made me fall from so high I did not want to intensify my pain by having other people's sympathy. I apologize for this. m(_ _)m

Aamun Kuiskaus - AMV and Lyrics Translation

Holy hell, I just uploaded an AMV today! How long has it been?! I've been working on this one for quite some time, the longest I've worked on one AMV really. Not that this was particularly hard to make or anything, there just happened to be many obstacles on the way of making it - that's all. My editing program wouldn't work during the hot weather, had to find alternative versions of Dog Days since the one I had did not convert properly, general lack of time and so forth. xD Hopefully it won't take this long for me to release my next one - one can only hope, haha.

So anyways, this AMV is for a friend of mine who was the most sad to see me go when I left the United Kingdom last May. I made it in order to show her that I am not leaving her behind. Without further ado, here is the video. Enjoy!
