音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

So, continue from yesterday.
I know I can't let myself being darker anymore, and it's actually the best enjoyment to "look at yourself turning dark"!!
↑Seems I'm not turned to white yet, huh...

To try stain myself white again, I have completely stopped playing toxic doujin dark music and switched to those with brighter aura.
Of course, binaria was included.

However, being with binaria, which will always bring me a feeling of nostalgia for their old releases. Their activity is rather less comparing with a few years ago. (They haven't even added "bottle" under their "music" tab, orz) Here I'm not considering their contributation in "fantamusica" at all. Why they didn't just perform the two songs themselves instead? There is nothing good for Ms.Ikezawa (and who is this?) singing them! (つд⊂)
Anyway, by chance or something? I just visited their website this morning, then see what I saw on top:

New banner, finally!
which means...

I was a bit worried when I first saw it's about an event--binaria under the starry autumn sky--I know I'm never able to attend. NOOO, even binaria is turning me dark!! XDD
At least the last section looks really exciting.

It will be released with this year's autumn M3-xx (and xx=?), according to Annalog.

Look at the title, twin's duologue.
How fantastic! Enough to remind me that equation: abstract yuri = bel x nagi
So, the final conclusion is, I will be turned to white with this new release? which means I can be as much dark as I want before that? lol
which also means my next blog background will be starry sky again?! But this time I gonna tune it to pink! :3

--and binaria-limited negative ion will then balance everything.

Even I'm supposed to make a personal review for Noriko's "vierge automatique", I've already lost the mood because I was taken into funk-world again. Yet, I'm not a real funk-fun; I just like Sugar quite a lot. So, "19-sai" of course, since the time I got most of his albums, I got to love his "Loveless" as well! In love with "Loveless", weird? :3

You DO believe it can snow about 10 days of a rainy+rainbow day, don't you? -v-
Therefore, it snowed in last night!--maybe shouldn't use therefore, but, recently, JUST LET ME BE FULLY-CHARGED DENPA!!--and after the longest day (from 6AM to 7PM!), I got the best reward today:

what a wonderful sky~

I also tried to use the "panorama" function on my phone, and the final picture was actually good! Even not perfect--it would be rather surprising if the final pic IS perfect--no one would need pro cameras then!

However, why I believe the song "Loveless" fits this kind of sky perfectly? Because I'm in dark already? But not bad, thanks to that perfect ambience match, I spent 20 more minutes on my way home! XDD

When I loop Akiko's Umineko series, especially that song, that means I'm broken, turn to dark, or merely in a good umineko mood whatever this sort. Should I tell you I'm not that evil in fact?!
Anyway... when I finished the final episode, I was like this↓

絶望した！素晴らしい歌の付いてるバカアニメに絶望した！！
(I'm in despair of sucking animes with superb songs!)

I just don't understand how the staff could make such a stupid anime!! °A°
I don't know how the original game is like, so here, everything I complain is only toward the anime itself. If that's the same as original world, I'll also blame the game.

They all say Higurashi and Umineko are sister-games/animes. I don't deny. The first 5 Umineko episodes are comparable to Higurashi. But, the rest episodes, in other words, more than half of this anime is totally ridiculous!! I remember I dropped this anime a couple years ago, because of the extremely silly story. Maybe I can call it a miracle that I eventually finished this anime yesterday. Maybe I was brain-washed by its lunatic electromagnetic wave. It's just an obligation to show my respect for Ms. Akiko Shikata and that song..
However, the worst is, I didn't get the point how and why they started the game, plus there isn't a real ending--or enough hints--that can satisfy me!! Am I slow (but I never admit!)? Toward the second half of this anime, I kept asking "what the heck is the story?!" I do believe this anime is made by unusual alien signals. So abrupt that I can't accept. -_-'
I guess the staff is ignoring to make the story complete but more willing to depict twisted human face/body/etc, no matter being killed or turn to evil. orz.. One thing I almost forgot, which is the staff tried to completely mess up the umineko world. I don't like how they integrated so many moe-elements into the anime. I don't mine moe, but they just don't match at all!! Σ(ﾟДﾟ)

Therefore, I feel like that I was deceived (maybe I should say lured? xD) by Akiko, like how I was deceived by Avalon--which made me looking at the staff list for 5 minutes with "Log off" to expect some epilogue but there was no such a thing!
It was all Akiko's fault! Her songs are so incredible and therefore I entered umineko's ridiculous world.

Even though, there are a few things I'd like to see always: The reflection of Higurashi and others.

I kind of think Beatrice is like Saber due to her hairstyle. Yet being a witch, Yuuko would be my best choice.
I'd also like to point out that, see the characters, Shiki from Tsuki-Hime, Kokutou from Kara no Kyoukai, and George from Umineko... seems Kenichi Suzumura always voices for such nice-guys with glasses! lol

Then, of course, you know Rika... well, I never came to memorize her name in this show...

Lady 34... I mean Takano Miyo, loli version! :P

Next, is this Rena? If not, their feelings are pretty similar. Actually this is my favorite witch portrait~ :3

Finally, Kaaaai, omochi kaeri!! XDDD

I probably don't need Umineko the anime, what I need is to loop Akiko's umineko series a bit longer. (￣д￣)

Because I'm too bored today, I named my pipettes like below:

Hope the text is clear enough to see, and I'll write down them here: Amaterasu, Susanowo and Tsukuyomi!
So I'd like to call them The Pipette Magi The Pipette Sankishin!! =v=

I did think about using Magi, but I finally chose Sankishin--mostly because of the worse and worse One-eyed Eden Series. (Maybe I was not in that mood, but I'm still happy I didn't want to buy it at any time.)

However...

so, this time, it's 4:46 collection...
NORIKO YOU HERETIC!! XDD

Evil Thursday!
I mean my TA session is still from 8:30 to 11:30, which is exactly like last winter term, which means I have to get up at 6:00. But I'm a half-owl!!! orz
So does it mean I should re-tune my inner clock? u_u
Yet I enjoy being awake at silent nights and watching horror animes.
I do admit that's a good excuse to do nothing on Thursday because we have regular lab mtg in the afternoon which will interfere what you do on this day anyway.I bet actually no one really loves the mtg except the boss...

Now something exciting...

↑ 2/3 of my late-August orders arrived--and my Noriko copy is on its way--sweet! Though I'll only have enough time for the DVD in next long weekend. ^^;;
Also for Akiko's Umineko. There were only 3 in stock when I ordered mine. Today, when I finally received the disc, I went to amazon.co.jp again, and found that this item was out of stock! Therefore, I'm wondering who ordered the rest two after me! xD

↑ Autume just came so suddenly. You haven't even noticed it, and the world is mostly in golden. Each time when I take a snap, the melody of FJ YUUKA's "blessing" comes into my mind.

Update:
BLOGGER HAS BEEN ALL TURNED TO THE NEW INTERFACE!!!
AND IM NOT AMUSED. GIMME BACK THE OLD CLASSIC INTERFACE!! (ﾉД`)ｼｸｼｸ

With Noriko first time referring to the special page for "vierge automatique" in her blog, she revealed more details about the songs themselves--since that album hasn't got released "in public" (it was already released on her 8/24 live!), nothing about the concepts yet.

So today, 9 days ahead of its official release, I wanna transport the digest of what Noriko mentioned in her blog.

and thus, here let me also show this kinda-creppy album jacket again~
- The cover doll is also from Dollhouse Noah, which is the same as the first single.
- The jacket designer is the same person as in "Yoruoto Hyouhon": Maeda@The Monneyless Vincent Imitation Graphica.

1. vierge automatique
⇒A new song for opening the album. Written in self-made language and like a hymn, arranged by multiple chorus. (Ar Tonelico?!).

2. Mindsphere
⇒The arrangement won't have too much of change. But this time, the vocal and mix were remade. A re-recording.

3. 百花庭園の幻影 (Phantom in the Flower Garden)
⇒This song was only ever performed on the live exhibition in 2004--and there were only 30 people in each time. (What a phantom song!) Therefore, even this song was "rearranged", since it never got released, it can actually be called a "new" song.

4. cercueil blanc～白の柩～
⇒The arrangement, vocal and mix all got changed a lot here in the new version. A real "rearranged" song. Plus the rearrangement was done by Naruki from ORITA, this song will be in ORITA-style. (I'm looking forward how it sounds after rearrangement. I do love the first version!)

5. 廃墟の心臓 (Heart of Ruins)
⇒A new song that was asked to be written in "progressive rock" style. Also just from the title, it's obvious that this song was written for the album. (hmmm, I don't know how prog-rock sounds like, what I know is only about GARNET CROW's J-rock.. orz)

6. 白繭の城 (Castle of White Cocoon)
⇒A song that was composed by Noriko herself! "A secluded girl eventually made a song! (Mitose N, 2012)" This song was born so naturally, yet was also born to be for this album. (It's so great that Noriko got some self-composing!! What kind of aura this song will have? I would say it's "Centifolia" like, but who knows. xD)

7. とおりゃんせ (Touryanse)
⇒An awfully arranged children's folk song. It was supposed to be the "Horror Touranse" like on "Yorlga" live, but here, it turned to be even more horrible, or I would rather say it evolved much more from that point. (But Touranse from Cotton#2 isn't that horror. I'm so curious about this, especially because the arranger is Yoshitaka Hirota.)

8. 薄氷<うすらい> (Thin Ice)
⇒About 15 years ago, Noriko did the lyrics for this song, and it was composed by Saneatu Shinomoto. Noriko only performed it on Kirche live once (another phantom song?!). So this time, it's the Noriko version of "rearrange+cover", and doesn't it sound like another new song?

9. カナリヤ機械 (Automatic Canary)
⇒Even though this song was performed a lot of times through Kirche lives, it never got released. Yet this song fits the motif of the album, it got rearranged specifically and finally will be released. In brief, this song is "Kirche's Mitose self-cover + new recording + first release". (Even only the title attracts me very much!)

10. 伽藍の空 (Temple's Sky)
⇒A new song. Noriko was trying to compose it on her own, yet she couldn't come up with a satisfied melody. Therefore the composing was asked to be done by the one who can create the same sense.

Things like that.

Just simply feel the titles, this album will be even darker than album "Centifolia"--but Noriko really fits such dark songs perfectly. I thought like this natually even I'm not that good at guessing. However, she does have the power to create the unique and delicate metaphysics of imagination.

Being in full-live-mode for more than half year, Noriko now already announced two new releases. It was rather a rush to me, since I just pre-ordered one of her new releases...

Anyway, I just read the second release from her blog this morning:

Mille-feuille ～Noriko Mitose Pop Works Best～
Centifolia = hundred petals; Mille-feuille = thousand leaves.
Obviously, it's a sister album of her Centifolia--by simply looking at the style of the album title.

Using Noriko's own idea, Centifolia contains all her "art" works, which are difficult to sing and the aura is rather darker. However, this time, in Mille-feuille, songs will be more "pop". Extremely catchy and cute, you may sing with the music even just after one time of listening.

Now the thing is, should I order this album as well? Maybe I'll decide when the official tracklist is revealed. I do wonder what songs will be in this album. Pop, catchy, cute, huh... I would say I prefer Noriko from the dark side, but I don't refuse the bright Noriko. So I'll see. (´・ω・｀)

At the end of that post, she finally mentioned her "vierge automatique" and linked it. But, why didn't she link it to the special website instead of its amazon page--what are you planning for?? Σ(ﾟДﾟ)

Also, Noriko did mention that, in case of mille-feuille, the pastry is more well-known, thus I went to check how this kind of pastry looks like (I'm quite slow in memorizing food names orz). They look so nice (I did ever eat them, without known the name of that kind of food though)! Then I was like dead--I MEAN I HAVE TOTALLY NO RESISTANCE TO THEM. =w=

I changed my blog background on August 29. The reason was simple: summer has gone, staring at the jellyfish will just make you feeling cold. ^^; Due to having no idea for another theme, I tried various photos or designs. At last, I came up with one season word of autumn:
Lycoris radiata.

Even a little bit red, it's not that bad, is it? And my previous colour scheme fits the image perfectly! So on that night, I started to loop Noriko's "Manjushage" for a while. XD
I LOVE MANJUSHAGE!!
Probably I'll keep this background until it snows. :3

Speaking of lycoris, in the next day, I somehow did some scribble, the motif was "katana and sword". But maybe because I didn't outline on my pencil draft, I couldn't do that as what I thought first via tablet.

Now, waiting for the arrival of KOKIA's "History", and do a countdown to the release of Noriko's "vierge automatique".
September 20... still long to wait...
(つд⊂)
