I'm so in love with Kana's songs especially after listening to her "LOVE" album. I really like Kimi no Koe feat. VERVAL (m-flo) so here's the lyrics:

I'm always excited when I received an "upcoming artist newsmail" from CDJapan in my inbox ^^ and I'm so surprised to see who it was:

Koike Teppei with his upcoming solo single!! yahooooooooooooo! titled "Jack in the Box" and will be released on July 15th, wow so fast! they haven't released the cover yet. I'd never thought that the lovely teppei will release another solo album after his "pieces" in 2007 'cause he seemed to enjoy working as a duo with Wentz Eiji ^^

but I'm also concerned about this. it was anounced that WaT would release a single on February 25th. but when it was near the released date they canceled the single and no further news about that.
then suddenly on June teppei released a solo single! and now he's gonna release his solo single! ~___~ not that I'm not happy with this wonderful news 'cause I love to listen teppei sings solo with his guitar but.. I'm also worried about what's happening to WaT?

and about teppei's Kimi Dake single.. I like it. but not as much as I like Kimi ni Okuru Uta ^^ he sounds more mature in this single.
the B-side track, Love Lighter sounds catchy and I like it better than Kimi Dake itself. and I really love the acoustic version of Kimi ni Okuru Uta, reminds me of the reason why I fell in love with this guy xD

and it's almost July already but why I haven't found the HQ .avi encoded of that PV??? o___O the youtube version is everywhere but why is no HQ PV?? *am I the stupid one who couldn't find the HQ PV or it's actually hard to find?*
I found it at jpop.cn but registration is needed and I'm still waiting for them to approve my account (which sounds like impossible, that's why I hate chinese forum 'cause they usually have bunch of good stuff but I regret that I don't understand any of their language except probably.. wo ai ni? and dui bui qi or whatever it's called)

did someone watch Homeless Chugakusei already? I read a review about it and I'm sure I read "boring" word in it o__O so I still don't know whether I'll watch it or not..

me and my friends at La Corda d'Oro thread at Lautan Indonesia forum suddenly talked about what if La Corda d'Oro bishies turned into live action and which actors you want to be which characters xD

( so the results turned like this xD )

enough with the crazy thoughts ^^ I'm not hoping La Corda d'Oro will turn into live action/theatrical stage just like Haruka though, 'cause I'm too scared to see the casts (which is usually terrible) and I'm sure the one who plays Yunoki will looks as if he's a cross-dresser, not a prince of the school -_-

I'm actually so embarassed to say this 'cause I'm sure lots of people must have finished this game at least on late march or early april, not long after the game was released but.. but.. I'VE FINALLY FINISHED PLAYING Starry☆Sky ~in Spring~ !!! xD
so to celebrate this I'm using a new header <3 (Starry☆Sky's of course..)

I really loooooooove this game. I have to say that this is the first visual novel I've played (and finished, 'cause I'm playing several visual novels but slow on progress) well, for a visual novel patience is needed, indeed -__-
luckily after finishing a route I could just clicked "skip" and everything would be fast forwarded and stopped when there were questions prompted. so yesterday I finally finish Tohzuki Suzuya's route and today I finished Tomoe Yoh and Nanami Kanata's route, yaaay!!

( review )

I swear I will play Starry☆Sky ~in Summer~ fasther than this ~_~ 'cause I'm dying to hear Hoshi's voice in that game!! xD

by the way, Suzuya's drama cd will be released next month, and I like the cover!!

he looks good 8D

recently I've been playing Kiniro no Corda forte and I love all the classical in the game, so I really wanted to listen to it not just in the game. I meant to hack my PSP and found a way to record the sound, but I couldn't do it ^^ I couldn't find how to go to my PSP recovery setting *sigh*

and then I knew that an album containing music from the game was released if you buy corda2 PS2 premium back and the same goes with the encore edition. whoaaaaaaaa. I already have the corda 2 encore music album in my HD before but since I haven't heard most of the music I just left it ^^

I'm so happy I found the album yesterday, so I downloaded and listened to it lots of times LOL
if you don't know about Kiniro no Corda / La Corda d'Oro you might want to download it 'cause the albums contain classical music in ansamble ^^
this album also contains the music instroduction done by the seiyuu from Corda game, but I usually just skip them and play the music instead xD

some of my favorites are Vivaldi's 4 season (winter), Joy to the World, Serenade, Cello Concerto, Mozart's Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira (I don't know what it's known in english) it also has Pachalbel's Canon in D, Eine Kleine Natchmusik, etc.

the tracklists are in japanese though, 'cause I like to leave them be so I know which music was used in the game ^^




I haven't played Encore yet but some of my favorites are well-known music such as Amazing Grace, Swan Lake, Rhapsody in Blue, etc.


I love Corda series and its music <3

I'm in the mood of translating so I translated BRAVO drama CD (from LaLa zenin service) to improve my japanese! ^_^
aaahhh.. translating drama CD is fun, ne. but it's easier to translate game text since I could check the spells too, lol.

anyway, it's not 100% correct and I still leave a few words in blank 'cause I don't know how should I translate it.
any corrections would be helpful ^^

Selection Butaira Voice Talk - LaLa Kiniro no Corda BRAVO☆Drama CD



cast:
Kaji Aoi: Miyano Mamoru
Tsuchiura Ryotaro: Ito Kentaro
Hihara Kazuki: Morita Masakazu
Shimizu Keiichi: Fukuyama Jun
Yunoki Azuma: Kishio Daisuke
Tsukimori Len: Taniyama Kisho
Etou Kiriya: Hino Satoshi

note:
this is translation only, there are no tracks available for download.
Kaji actually call the senpai (Hihara & Yunoki) with -san, but I think in some parts I wrote them in -senpai, but I'm too lazy to correct all of them so I just left them be.

mwahaha, at last the OP movie showed up! (or it's just me who's too late to realize about this)
kamiya hiroshi sang the theme song, "shoot high". well I personally like midorin's "starry sky" better but it's okay ^_^



even though it's from youtube, it's a HQ video if you download it from the official web, I love it 8D

all 3 characters sample voices are up for download the official web too (http://www.honeybee-cd.com/summer/index.html)
and fukujun's using his aido hanabusa's voice which I really love *happy*

I can't wait to play the game <3

( further about starry sky.. )

finally the second episode aired 2 days ago, and I have to say that I'm quite satisfied with the OVA.
I know a lot of people were expecting that at least kahoko will end up with one of the guys or make it clear who kahoko likes.

but to me, this OVA is kinda a prologue to the second game, where kahoko struggling after the concour and trying to rebuild herself and get ready for the festival concert. so I'd like it better if they don't make kahoko end up with a person, 'cause this is a series of anime from an otome game, so if you want see kahoko end up with someone go play the game, 'cause that's why KOEI made this into an anime, to promote the game -_-" I don't know how the manga will end though. also, the OVA focussed more on kaji rather than kiriya or kira. he finally found what he's been missing and that's what make me happy ^_^

even though.. those two (kiriya & kira) just appeared for a few short times, they look so gorgeous xD especially kira! he looks much better in the anime, those curly-waved hair, those fierce eyes, and those tanned skin huaaaaaa xD~
while kiriya.. err, I don't know but I don't really like his voice (gomen, hino satoshi -_-")

overall, I love this OVA better than the primo passo OVA, where there was nothing going on and just bunch of guys playing music for kahoko. (I really envy her for this!)

PS: is it just me or the boys look hotter than usual? 8D

I haven't even played forte and now KOEI announced to release forte encore (got the news from kswgric) !!

anyway, I visited the official web (http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/psp/corda2/encore/) this afternoon and I really loved the cover 8D it's so pretty! I love Kure Yuki's artwork even more!
well I assume the web's wallpaper will be the game's box ^^

I don't really understand about what's new in this encore version but I think it will focuses more on the continuation of Etou Kiriya's story, and there will be more than 20 new pictures (or CGs?) the gallery section hasn't been updated yet so there were only "what's new in f encore" and the story, which I couldn't read xD

now I have to get a PSP soon before it's released ~_~

my internet connection sucks that I can't open a few important web such as e-mail and image hosting so I can't upload any image now. even LJ uses photobucket as its basic picture hosting so I can't upload the pretty cover I mentioned above D:

I looked at KOTOBUKIYA new releases and I saw these cute little figures of Sengoku Basara:



BUT I MISSED THEM ALREADY!! they were for PRE-ORDER only. even PA ran out ouf stock on the released day (May 4th) so there's now way I could have them =_____= I wish I knew about those figures!! D:
I really realy really want the Date Masamune figure 'cause he looks sooooooo cute! Yukimura Sanada is okay, but Shingen Takeda's head is way too small compared to the anime version o__O Oda Nobunaga looks so cool too!

then I checked CDJapan to see if it was still available, and this showed up:



THE 2ND BOX!!! ASFDFDASASAAJSKJKJK !!!
Maeda Keiji!! so cute with his long hair!! xD and look at Kenshin Uesugi LOL he looks so cute even though I don't like him in the anime xD
why is Kasuga's boobs so flat even though she got that enormous boobs in the anime?? Oichi looks so sad but that's the way she looks in the anime so I wanna have it too!

I thought that I could still pre-order it but..
Release date: 2009/08/05
Preorder deadline: 2009/04/21

%#$@*& !!! 4 months before the released date?!? *headdesk*
there's no way I could get them D: except someone re-sell them to me with higher price.

edit: just noticed that the Haruka 3 figures are featured in "preorder" section at PA for Yuzuru &Kagetoki figures only. I thought they were sold a few months ago??  I bet it's gonna be about 6000yen each 'cause I saw Benkei figure sold with that price -_-" still, too expensive for a single figure for my wallet ~_~


I like the Yuzuru one 8D love his outfit ^^

my 3rd post for today - sorry for spamming your f-list   m(_ _)m

aside from the happy news that Ouran High School Host Club's tankouboun (Indonesian version) vol. 1 will come out on Wednesday May 27th (yes, you Ouran fans must buy it!! xD even though the price of comic books raised again since May 1st I'll buy it! ~_~) there's another one that makes me happy today:

Papa Inoue will be on Danna Catalogue Vol. 5 !!



other than Starry Sky series, I really like this Danna Catalogue series ^^  this month's Danna Catalogue will feature Older Danna (the left one, obviously. starring Inoue Kazuhiko) and Younger Danna (the right one. starring Shimono Hiro --- I've never heard this name in seiyuu world before).

now I wonder what will Papa Inoue sound like in this drama cd 8D

*anyway, don't you think the characters for the Vol. 5 looks just like the characters in the Vol. 4 ?? o__O

uploaded them for my friends at la corda d'oro thread at Forum Indonesia, so I'm gonna put the links here too ^^


recommended: Yunoki & Tsukimori edition ^^ they sound so powerful yet full of emotion.

I'm posting the lyrics here 'cause I didn't find any romanized lyrics for this song, so I tried to romanize this by myself *____*

now you know what I do when I'm crazy over a song :D

( zutto LOVE )

I've been listening to this song for more than 10 times in a day that I loooooove it so much!!!

Nishino Kana - Tokutemo feat. WISE (or Aenakutemo? o___O) >> found out later that Aenakutemo is WISE feat. Nishino Kana version. probably WISE sings more than Nishino Kana herself.

Kimi to Deaetta Koto ga
Kakegaenonai Takara Mono
Ima wa Aenakutemo
Always Love You

the lyrics are just so nice and she sings it beautifully *__*
I love it when she hit high-tone, 'cause that's why I think she has wonderful voice.

a bit about Nishino Kana, she debuted in 2008. her first song that could make me fall for her voice was Style, the ED of Soul Eater anime. I always listen to that song everytime I want to cheer up my mood ^_^ by the way, she sounds like BoA but I like her more than BoA.
she also got Ito Yuna looks with Crystal Kay's hair, which I think is pretty.
definitely not the type of singer who depends only on her looks, 'cause she got both looks and talent 8D

I wonder if she ever performed live in some music shows *_* I'd really love to see her perform live!! 
she performed on at Music Japan May 17h!! *downloading*

it's been 2 years ago since my beloved teppei released his single err.. I forgot the title o___O I'm sorry teppei!! D: but, but I swear I remember the melody and the lyrics!!
...anyway, teppei's gonna release his new single soon title "Kimi Dake" (only you)

and here's both the cover for the RE (left) and LE (right)




( now click here if you want to scream with me )

more about new single release.. SMILY SPIKY (featuring Miyano Mamoru and Takagi Shun) will sing the theme song of Skip Beat's PS2 game :D
since it's SMILY SPIKY I'm 100% it'll be a funny and crack song xD looking forward to it ^_^

inspired by areena_chan LOL

yep I already made a list for otome games and now it's time to make j-dramas & j-movies list that I've watched so far!
there might be some title missing but I'll fix it as I remember more titles I've watched.

( not-so-long list )

no dramas/movies in green as I'm not watching anything right now. will make the anime list soon +_+
ahhh I miss watching dramas but I just can't stop downloading anime and playing games recently  *confused*

one thing I love from weekend: I CAN SLEEP WHENEVER I WANT, yay! it's 1 am here and I can barely open my eyes but I don't wanna sleep yet!!

so I'm gonna make a summary post about otome games, the featured seiyuu and my progress of playing them ~_~

( behold, an otome power! )

I will also need to make the same list with j-drama/movies I've watched so far. but I'm too lazy *_____*

stole this from katiedistance 'cause I miss doing meme! xD

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

1. First name: Heldi
2. Age: 20
3. Location: Surabaya, Indonesia
4. Hometown: Surabaya, Indonesia. actually I was born at a tiny island called Ternate but I don't consider it as my homeland as I moved out of town when I was only 2 months old and I don't know much about Ternate either.
5. Occupation: student in Architecture major, Petra Christian University (even though I'm taking lessons at Christian university, I'm a moslem ^^)
6. Partner: none, and I'm enjoying it xD

10. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:

11. Parents: a mother, a father and an older brother. I'm not really close to my family members though.
12. Who are some of your closest friends?: umm, most of my close friends don't have LJ as they don't really have times with internet stuff.
but I always keep in touch with Monique cah_ngesrep lately.
I don't really have times to check my friend page and comment on my friend's LJ like I used to so yeah I'm not really that close :(
13. Tattoos/Piercings: I don't have any and won't have any.

Bonus!

* Hobbies: my current obsession is playing otome games and listening to drama cds. other than that, I love browsing, chatting at certain forums, listen to music (mostly j-pop and classic). I love collecting action figures from anime & games. 
I also started sewing anime dolls a few months ago :) I enjoy watching comedy & action movies with my classmates. and I'd love to spend my money on delicious food if I really really want it :D

waaaaaah it's so fun to do meme again and it's nice to know more about people around you. to my f-list, why don't you do it? :D
