Katayoku no Tori Single is Avaible!!!!!!!!!

OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD
as i search in google bout umineko game ep5, end of golden witch, which it's avaible to buy or not, i saw an entry about this single.
However, just couple hours ago, I just preordered it in play-asia.
Some said it was released in 18 or 19 August.
So, with the tracklist written, i opened that blog entry.
And just seen that already released its download, i shouted "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!" fortunately, my sis go on vacation, so no one hear my stupid acts.
I dont know which way they could get it since it hasnt released yet.
Im sure it was the work of the witch, beato-sama :D

(dunno which cover in the front)


This single includes :
1. Katayoku no Tori (or can say 'Henyoku no Tori) which mean One-winged Bird. The full version. It much familiar with the tv series in the beginning, and shows Shikata style at the end
2. VII maybe it can be read as seven. Witch style. I dunno what it tells, looks like Beatrice's melody. But judges by its lyrics, contain 'tears' i dont think so by remembered her 'Northwind and sun'.
3. Katayoku no Tori -instrumental-, with adding 'instrumental' in their title doesnt mean theyre all instrument music. Let says, karaoke version.
4. VII -instrumental- Nothing to explain there.

Since they all new to me, i still love the previous umineko album, especially 'Uruwashi no Bansan ~Kiniro no Chouso~' So Beatrice-ish. Now im starting to like VII. Sure her songs like witch spells. She is the endless singer ^^
And watching the tv series, I hope Beato's voice much like in that song's laugh. Im a little disappointed. But it sure nice to have tv series it~
Well, they drawn the characters not too bad. Hope theyll make Eva-Beatrice not too mature.

Back to topic, that download didnt contain lyrics scan, only the front image. Hope someone translate those lyrics soon.
And please if you really love Akiko Shikata works, support her by buy it. In play-asia, you can buy it with free shipping (well, they put the higher price at first, but it was worth if your area support their free shipping).
Im not forcing you to buy it, however, here or here you can found the download link. They sure awesome!

Well, this album complete our independence day~ I can relax before back to work tomorrow :( But Shikata's song will cheer my days :)

note:credits image whoever upload it, i just hotlinking it :) those image cropped, and im too lazy to reupload and resize them, so if you wanna see they full, just right click the image and open image in new tab.

Nichole Nordeman - Gratitude Lyrics and Song

Beautiful song, when i heard it, feels like i am the luckiest girl. Even thought many people suffer, and i was here complaining what i didnt have, this song touched my heart.
As a human, we rarely feel gratitude to God if we get problems.
And, this song is very compatible with our situation in Indonesia. We often blame God with the terror happened in our country, and this song teach us to give thanks to our God, that we still breath, we have plenty of food,which we often think they are terrible, and we have home to shelter, still we complaining it is not comfortable, etc.




Gratitude
Vocal : Nicole Nordeman

Send some rain, would You send some rain?
'Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking in the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud?
Let the sky grow black and send some mercy down
Surely You can see that we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain

Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies, keep our children fed
Fill our cups, then fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view if no roof is overhead And if we never taste that bread

Oh, the differences that often are between
Everything we want and what we really need

So grant us peace, Jesus, grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
Between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case . . .

We'll give thanks to You
With gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
That we are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
And if You never grant us peace

But Jesus, would You please . . .


War is not the option if you really love your country..

Akiko Shikata's New Song, Katayoku no Tori and Turii Phanta Rhei

Found this in Akiko Shikata's Page in Facebook

or, go to here if player wont start

Oh yeah, I know it just minutes ago, its kinda late since umineko was already released 2 episodes.
This song is from Umineko Tv series, which is the op song.
Beatrice was awesome~ The artwork in Tv series was different from original. Its anime all right, cant say anything before watch it

Hope someone provide lyrics and translation ^^
New song means new single/album will be released (or its already released??).
Better start saving money~.~

And for you who want to see Akiko's page in facebook, simply go there.

Others in Turii~Phanta Rhei~ full ver. Its difference is in the start of the songs.
Still amazing, but in that album (zectbach~ristaccia i think i spelled it wrong >.<) i dont like the other songs too much, so i think i wont buy it. forgive me, i get it for free ~.~

Simple Game with C++

I tried to make a better code for simple game (quiz in my class last 2 weeks). And, I failed TT.TT. Well, i've tried to remake it and i'm sure there is NO ZOMBIE! (no minus hp to be printed ^^)

i used visual c++, and i hope this time its right answer!
correction are appreciated ^^v! thx!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni ~Rengoku~ Lyrics and Translation + Harmonia download

うみねこのなく頃に～煉獄～
Umineko no Naku Koro ni ~Rengoku~
(When the Seagull Cry ~Purgatory~)
Composed,arranged: Akiko Shikata
Lyrics:Wataru Hano
From Harmonia (track #8)

Né regole Né comandamenti Né ragione
Neither rules Neither commandment Neither reason
In altre parole: imprevedibile
In alter words: unforeseeable

Ma succeed
But succeed
Cose spiacevoli succedono
Disagreeable things happen
E io ne sono la causa
and because of me

Ancora non capisci?
Do you still not understand?

Niente di cui nutrirmi
Nothing of which nourishing to me
Mi fanno morire di fame
They make me to die of hunger
Mi fanno morire credendo di poter prevedere
They make to die believing me of being able to preview

Pagliacci, impazzite in sogni dorati
Clowns, driven crazy in golden dreams
Sulla scena bagnata di colpe
On the bathed scene of terror*

Caricato l'orologio rotto
Loaded the broken clock
Anche stanotte si rialza il sipario della tragedia
Also tonight, curtain of tragedy is raised

Su, tenendoci per mano danziamo in infinita disperazione
Come, our hands is holding, we dance in infinity
Aperto il catenaccio, verso una nuova gabbia
Open the bolt of desperation, towards a new cage
Fino alla fine di una notte che non avrà alba
Until the end of a night that will not have dawn

Beatrice! Maga crudele
Beatrice! Cruel witch
Di belleza senza pari
No one equal your beauty
Beatrice! Oh! Di dolcezza capricciosa
Beatrice! Oh! The capricious sweetness
Mal potròٍ liberarmi dal tuo incantesimo
I will be able to free from your spell
Se questa pena deve durare
If this pain must last
Almeno una volta abbi pieta
At least have mercy once

Piena di pianto è l'isola cupa a deserta
I planted flood of darkness in the desert island(?)
Sul suolo si riversa inesaribile tristezza
On the ground flows inexhaustible sadness

Piu volte s'attraversa il dedalo della disperazione
Many times crossed over the labyrinth of the desperation
Aperta la porta sbarrata, ride la verità
Opened the crossed door, the truth laughs

Miscuglio d'amore e odio
Concoction of love and hatred
S'alza stanotte il sipario d'una nuova commedia
Raises curtain of one new play* tonight

Notte del giudizio
Night of the judgment
in cui ogni cosa e ridotta in cenere
Which everything reduced in ash
L'afflizione delle offerte sacrificali sarà avvolta
The pain of the offered ones whom sacrificed will be wrapped
Nelle fiamme del purgatorio
In flames of the purgatory

Numerose le trappole già predisposte
Numerous of the traps are already prepared
Il segreto delle streghe rimarrà tale
The secret of the witches will remain such

Su, affondate le unghie! Fino a farle cadere
There, sunk nails! Until making them to fall
Su, piangete e urlate! Fino a perdere la voce
There, you cry and scream! Until losing the voice
Su, fuggite! Fino a perdere il respire
There, escaped! Until losing breath

Sull'isola arsa dalla malvagità
On the island burned from the wickedness


*colpe can be ‘guilt’ or ‘terror’
*commedia can be ‘play’ or ‘comedy’, I’m not really sure, so prefer your own word

I translated it from the Italian, with the help of translator and some dictionaries. My pc cannot input everything but alphabet. And I hardly understand Japanese, I only do hira or kata. So if you find many mistakes and incorrect grammar, I appreciate the correction.

This song is crazier than the old version but less bass (I don’t really know what it’s called). In the beginning, its melody wasn’t so different, but after 1:52, it went to, humm more wicked? Reminds me of Kiniro no Chouso ~ Uruwashi no Bansan~ (maybe because of its wickedness). I prefer this version, however this is just personal opinion.

Oh yeah, if you wanted to download Harmonia, just go there or there (both of them included scan). I must wait another 3 till 9 days to get mine T.T

track 8 is the italy ver of umineko no nako koro ni, in her album in the same title based on the game in the same title.
track 14, utau oka~Salavec rhaplanca~ is the longer ver of utau oka~Harmonics FRELIA~, if EXEC_HARVESTASYA is about harvestasya (i believe in Ar Tonelico II harvestasya is mentioned, but i forgot where it is T.T), it is about Rhaplanca. I hope it's about her journey with Maoh.
track 15, amnesia, well, i barely know about it. I only hear it in youtube. will it be the same song? If you wanna hear, here it is


Shikata concert, Harmonia, is held yesterday. Of course i couldnt see it, only to preorder harmonia, i'm saving my money for months, how could i go to japan T.T
i dont think i'll find her video, since she dont have many fans. All i found is Ave Maria live performance. Her costume is similiar with Luna Piena live, and so is the stage. maybe they're on the same concert, is it HATS Music Fes'07?
there's a comment at the end of video. i dont understand it T.T. There's a song she performed other than Luna Piena or Ave Maria, if you listen of the background music when he commented. I never heard bout it!
here's the video, so heavenly...

Watch more Dailymotion videos on AOL Video

if the video wont come out, you can try this

Ar Tonelico II USA Ver

i just finishing ar tonelico II, when i opened the extra, there's no a hymn which infel and nenesha sang before replekia. first, i dont really care. when i listened closely, it looks like shikata's style. WHAT?!?! I COULDNT FIND IT ANYWHERE, even the hymmnos concert, and i double checked ar tonelico II original soundtrack, found zero result.

i recorded it with my cellphone. bad quality of course.  

if it's really shikata's, i hope harmonia has it. cant wait to her 17 beautiful songs. but the dollars keep raising T.T, can't you till end of march

speaking of the game, i think the translator sucked! well, i have no rights to say it, but the changes of implanter and replakia pissed me off. and what the hell with deathpedia and spheria or whatever else. even they have meaning, the songs is already out with the original names. people will think the original songs was the misspell one. trulyworth is the worst. jacqli? it seems nice but funny at the same time, reminds me of fighting chara (or maybe just my imagination). for the other changes, i have no comment. 

And frelia cosmosphere, i swear i pick the right answer, when croix must choose to come back or let his secret revealed. I SWEAR i pick "NO WAY" twice. but the dialogue after picking it is totally different. yah, no big deal, but it makes my anger increased.

hope the next series, they wont translate them in their sleep. 

For the game itself, its awesome. so many features added, better story and character (im not mentioning the design, i prefer the first one for the chara design), and the battle system keeps me from boredom. if the first one i can use my toe finger, now i must use my both hands and focusing my eyes. 

some of my friends dont like this game because it graphic quality (i feel it too for some towns, like slump. its chipset is like..hmm well like the one in mario bross). i cant blame them, they faced 2d and poor graphic in the beginning of the game after they finishing persona 4. it cant be compared! for the all gust games. Ar Tonelico series is the best~! 

this is just my personal opinion. cmiiw ^^v
