Darker than Black S2 OP Cover 「ツキアカリのミチシルベ」

'Tsukiakari no Michishirube' by Stereopony, also the OP Song for Season II of Darker than Black. Not a good cover, but thought I'd at least attempt it since it's one of my current fave songs :D

ステレオポニー 「スマイライフ」 (Semi-Failed Cover)

More AIMI goodness ... in the small screen! 'Smilife' by Stereopony's one of the rare happy-ish songs that I actually listen to, so here's a (failed) attempt to cover it. Just stare at the small screen :D

Again （少しだけ弾いてみた）

鋼の錬金術師のOPでYuiの曲を簡単に弾いてみました。20分くらい練習したのに、超下手だｗ

君の知らない物語（少しだけ弾いてみた）

この歌が大好きなので、少し弾いてみようかと思った。初心者で練習時間もあまりないから間違いだらけですまん！

Test

Short intro test XD

Saber Lily

While I am not really a fan of figurines, an upcoming one did catch my eye. It is none other than an alternate form of Saber, Saber Lily! A pleasant change from the blue outfit that we usually see, this is from Fate/Unlimited Codes and if I'm not wrong, is a limited edition. Enjoy the pics!

DaeJangGeum and the Ninja Diary

The village set for the drama series is an open set built at Yangjoo city Gyunggido, inside the MBC cultural valley. The drama series is based on a real historic character that was borin a lowly untouchable class who rises to the position of court doctor. Let us take a look at the set (Not that I've watched the drama)!



(DaeJangGeum and I)




(Entrance area, Palace doorway and Grand Hall)



(TweSunGan, or kitchen area, attached to the room of court lady Han and young JangGeum)




The drama series is set in the Chosun Dynasty with emphasis on court culture, food depiction, costume, medical practices and games of the period.




(I think this was the Royal Kitchen or SuRaGan)

On this somewhat cold day, I was left with a lot of time to kill and wandered towards the backyard or village, I'm not too sure which. Being part of a film set, it was indeed a fitting location for my ninja diary :)




The whole place gave off a tranquil vibe and coupled with the cold and refreshing air away from traffic pollution, it provided a temporary respite from city life.


The Ninja Diaries
(Do not attempt some of these at home)

Objective : To reach the scenic endpoint without being detected


(Room clear, no sign of any enemy)


(Stealthily breaking and entering the room)


(Out at the corridor, the coast seems clear)


(Approaching Objective, final check to look out for security forces)


(All clear! Time to scale the building! I repeat, do NOT try this at home)



(Mission accomplished!)



(Nice view of the village/backyard from the top isn't it ? Worth the trouble!)




The thing that I am holding, I've no idea what it's called, is something like roti-prata, just that green tea powder or flour of sorts is used for the skin and it has a filling which tastes like cinnammon (it probably is). I think its usually sold during winter. Delicious and warm!

メリークリスマス (Merry Christmas) !

Noise . . . Pure Noise . . .

Here's me starting to try and learn how to play the solo to Sound Horizon's 'Asa to Yoru no Monogatari', when I really should be studying for JLPT instead. It's pretty horrendous playing by any standard and a lot of the notes are wrong, but . . . well . . . everyone has to start somewhere right ? :)

Distant Worlds : Music From FINAL FANTASY Asia Tour

According to the official site, the Distant Worlds concert will be making its asian premiere in Taiwan before staging 2 concerts in Singapore as part of the Singapore Arts Festival 2009. To find out more about the concert and the tracks covered, do visit their site. How nice it would be to hear a live rendition of "Memoro de la Stono ~ Distant Worlds" from FFXI . . . :)
