Tommy February6's Brand New Album and New Teasers

J-pop fans mark their calendar for the scheduled release of the comeback of Tommy February6 (aka Tommy Heavenly6, who sang 'Monochrome Rainbow' from Bakuman or Tomoko Kawase of Brilliant Green, who sang 'Ash like Snow' from Gundam 00) on June 12th 2013. Most people will probably remember her from the song 'Lonely in Gorgeous,' the opening song of Paradise Kiss or came across one her different alter-egos. But this is her first album under her Tommy February6 alias in almost a decade and she is just as eccentric as ever! Her new album is entitled, "TOMMY CANDY SHOP ♥ SUGAR ♥ ME". The album will come in two editions, the regular edition and the limited edition. What makes the limited edition special is the dance versions and bonus goodies that go with it.

Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Book)

Rating:


I absolutely adored the movie. In fact, I loved it so much I simply had to have Truman Capote’s book. My friends and I joke that it is every fashionista’s bible. Very few of my friends do not know Audrey Hepburn… and they either adore her or respect her as an actress and fashion icon. But, I read somewhere that Capote’s first choice for Holly Golightly was actually Marilyn Monroe. I am forever grateful that in the end they chose Audrey, but after reading the book I can really see why he wanted Marilyn Monroe to play her. As I was reading the book, I visualized Marilyn Monroe as well.

Let Winter Rule Always


Rating:


It's been a while since my last review and I have missed it. I thought carefully about what I wanted to write about and I decided to write about one of my favorite movies as a child, Snow Queen. It is a movie adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's story of the same title. He has been my favorite author since I was young, so it probably doesn't come to a surprise that I've seen it. At first I was going to do a comparison of the original story and the movie, but the two stories are so different. They have a few things similar like the names and probably a bit of the flow, but I can't help but want to separate the movie completely and watch it as it is. It would not be fair to compare it to the original since they didn't really follow the same flow at all.

I want to GET you, lalala, I all give it to you.

The Little White Horse
Elizabeth Gouge

It was under the white moon that I saw him,
The little white horse, with neck arched high in pride.
Lovely his pride, delicate, no taint of self
Staining the unconscious innocence denied
Knowledge of good and evil, burden of days
Of shame crouched beneath the flail of memory.
No past for you, little white horse, no regret,
No future of fear in this silver forest---
Only the perfect now in the white moon-dappled ride.

A flower-like body fashioned all of light,
For the speed of light, yet momently at rest,
Balanced on the sheer knife-edge of perfection;
Perfection of grass silver upon the crest
Of the hill, before the scythe falls, snow in sun,
Of the shaken human spirit when God speaks
In His still small voice and for a breath of time
All is hushed; gone in a sigh, that perfection,
Leaving the sharp knife-edge turning slowly in the breast.

The raised hoof, the proud poised head, the flowing mane,
The supreme moment of stillness before the flight,
The moment of farewell, of wordless pleading
For remembrance of things lost to earthly sight---
Then the half-turn under the trees, a motion
Fluid as the movement of light on water . . .
Stay, oh stay in the forest, little white horse! . . .
He is lost and gone and now I do not know
If it was a little white horse that I saw,
Or only a moonbeam astray in the silver night.

The Song of Loreley

I wonder why I am so weary,
What’s making me so depressed,
It must be the tale, old and dreary,
That’s keeping my mind quite obsessed.

The air is cool, night is sinking,
And quietly is flowing the Rhine,
The tops of the mountains are blinking,
In purple-red sun-setting shine.

There’s sitting high up in the light,
A maiden so beautiful, fair,
Her jewels are glistening bright,
She combs her gold shimmering hair.

Her comb is of most precious gold,
She’s combing and singing so sweet,
Bewitching young fishers and old
Their hearts start to quiver and beat.

There’s man in his boat on the river,
He cannot but listen and stare,
A longing is making him shiver,
Look out, on the rock’s ledge, oh beware!

I fear there’s a crash, the boat sinking,
The man will be swallowed and gone,
And that with melodious singing
The Loreley will have done.

From Kira Imai

I think no word are necessary to describe how much I love Kira Imai's art. They are adorable and I can't help but be reminded of CLAMP. I wouldn't be surprised if she is a fan of the group. A friend of mine, Sai (dusksapientia) manages a tumbler and I found Kira Imai there while browsing. I was supposed to help with the tumblr, but I am not very good at looking for art these days. A million things in school and online is keeping my hands full.

1. Out of all the video games you've played or books/manga you've read or movies/anime/shows you've seen, is there a fictional character you relate to the most?

Usually, I would answer this meme with Misa Amane from Death Note or Sana Kurata from Kodacha. They are energetic and lively. Knows how to play with the crowd. I want to change my answer this time and not go for the usual.
