NANA MIZUKI LIVE GALAXY 2016 -GENESIS-

I have yet to shake away my bad habit of being very late with my reports, but at least finally LIVE GALAXY -Genesis- is here.... right in time before the BD/DVD release. xD Ehum, I will make this  intro short so I can get on with -Frontier- asap... >.>;

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GRACE 2013 -Opus II-1月20日

Second night of Live Grace -Opus II- hajimarimasu~!
(Yes, same picture as on previous post but face it - Nana with violin is so wonderful~~)

FINALLY my report for the 2nd night of LIVE GRACE 2013 -Opus II- is here as well. Totally took much longer with it than I wanted to, but reliving this night took much more energy out of me than the previous one. :3 Gomen! But regardless, it is now here and hopefully worth the wait!

<<WARNING! Very long entry again and gets a bit emotional near the end. Hazukashii... (>_<;)>>

The Magic of Japanese Music

(from left: Mizuki Nana, Kalafina, Utada Hikaru) 

Long time no see! Somehow I have been lacking the enthusiasm to write for quite a while now, probably due to my insanely busy schedule here. I finally felt like writing something today though, due to the topic popping up very often these past couple of weeks in very different situations (sorry, this isn't a post about my Japan adventures, I'll get around to those..... eventually), namely the magic of Japanese music.

BRIGHT STREAM Preview

Okay, first off I'm not going to compare this to ETERNAL BLAZE, because in my opinion that is a very silly thing to do. They are two different beautiful songs that are both used to represent the same story, that is, the story of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. So in my opinion the interesting thing is, does BRIGHT STREAM fit Nanoha A's as well as ETERNAL BLAZE does?

Yes, I think it does.

My face when I was working on this.

I really should post things more often... there have been many Nana-related things I've wanted to write about, but then I just never find the time or energy to do it, and thus I end up not doing it at all. x_x I shall try to make amends from now on!

So yeah, to today's topic. My friend thought I should do this, so here it is (even though I don't particularly like doing memes xD). I have to say that doing this was really agonizing, since picking just one thing for the answers really tore my heart... Wahhh! I was going to have this done in one sitting, but I ended up taking over a week (nearly two)....

Top 20 Mizuki Nana songs *Updated 2011/09/12*

It's here finally! My top 20 Nana song list, done to commemorate my 77th entry in this blog! So now you know why I kept stalling this... ;) I have to say I've changed the order of these songs like a million times during the process of coming up with it, so most likely the exact order will keep on being alive and changing even now. xD

Enjoy the list and look forward to my entry on the Junketsu Paradox PV next!

Top 10 Mizuki Nana Songs I Want to Learn on the Violin *Updated 2012/02/28*

So since my Arfu loves it when I stall the revealing of my Top 20 Nana song list, I shall stall yet again. (^o^)/

I went to buy myself an electronic violin today and I was really surprised at how much they sounded like a normal violin. I was expecting something... else. Obviously. xD I found a really lovely one that I bought. It looks so cool and it's red. (^-^) So now I am really stoked about finally having a good quality violin again and I am actually very excited to start relearning to play. So considering how that was the highlight of my day, I felt making a top 10 list of the Nana songs I eventually want to learn how to play was a very appropriate thing to do.

So enjoy~!

Top 10 Mizuki Nana songs - Happy birthday Nana-chan! *updated 2011/09/12*

Well like I said, I would be making two lists this week, so here's the second one! Yet again something I talked about with Chris last week.  This list was just as hard to make as the Hikki one and even throughout the thinking process I changed my mind a thousand times. I'll probably change my mind again the moment I post this, but oh well, I shall live with it. Anyways, I wanted to pay tribute to the lovely Nana-chan on her birthday as well, as she inspires me to work hard in pursuing my dreams. Nana's always lived with the attitude that the future is bright - even when her agency went bankrupt, her dad was quite ill and the bad economy situation caused her family to nearly have no money for food, she kept believing in her dream and never gave up. Finally after all the hardships, her hard work paid off and she got to do what she wanted to do and got to be who she wanted to be. That determination and strength is something I admire and respect very much and knowing how she fought her way up from the very bottom really inspires me not to ever give up on my dreams or what I hold dear. Nothing is impossible. <3 I have to say it was probably thanks to her that I found the determination to go back to the UK to finish my degree with my head held high after last summer, as I really did not want to go. LoL these entries are making me sound really emo..
