Listening to: Lena Park - FALL IN LOVE
I wanna try this. Andrea (@Smexy_A on Twitter) introduced this to me =). Apparently you have to pick a category from Title, Author or Title and Author. For each letter in the alphabet, read a book with a title or author’s last name starting with that letter. So 26 books for Title or Author, and 26*2 for Title and Author.
Already half of the year has gone by, so I’m not sure if I can complete it. I don’t even know if I want to use the books I’ve already read this year, I don’t even know if I can remember them all, though that would definitely make this job easier. I wanna go with Title first, if I have time perhaps I’ll do Author too. I changed my mind; there is probably a better chance of completing this list if I go with Author.

I heard this song around the same time I discovered Shunkashuutou by Hilcrhyme. At the time I was clicking random links from YouTube from Shunkashuutou’s video.
Junya to Manami means Junya and Manami, Junya being a regular boy’s name and Manami a regular girl’s name. From the PV, I deduced that this is about the wedding and love of Junya and Manami.

So a few weeks ago on a Saturday, on the rare occasion that I do not work, my dad had a transient ischemic attack. To make it short, a TIA is the precursor of a stroke. Half a week later, he had another one.
In the past week, my mom has been chaperoning him to the hospital where he works at so he can undergo tests to see what’s causing these attacks, and to possible prevent further attacks and any strokes that may or may not happen.
From the MRI, it was determined that he had a few stroke lesions, which are causing the TIAs. What’s puzzling about all of this is is that he does not have high blood pressure, nor high cholesterol, which are main causes of strokes and TIAs. So we’re all very frustrated and confused on this front.
This makes my mom change her mind about studying come September. She was originally gonna start her Master’s Degree in Nursing Anesthesia, but if she studies she has to quit her job, and if she quits her job, we don’t have insurance, and if we don’t have insurance we’ll probably go into debt from all the tests my dad is going to do from now on.
So, he going to stay in the hospital tonight, until maybe Monday.
I feel frustrated, angry and confused. I feel like my parents are keeping things from me in order for me to not worry. >.>
Furthermore, the family of the childhood friend is coming this weekend. So this creates a lot of complications we weren’t expecting.. Hell, this whole thing was unexpected… >_>

I was listening to this song today in the car.
A few years ago when this song was released I had resisted listening to it, probably because part of me disliked melody. because she had a good high-pitched voice. This is also a reason why I dislike Nishino Kana.
So anyway, I guess I gave up trying not to hear this song and ended up downloading it and listening to it. This song serenaded me in the backseat of the car when me and my parents went cross country from Detroit, MI to Montreal, QC, to Perce, QC, Charlottetown, PEI, and then to Halifax, NS, and all the way back. It was a fun trip. Lots of nice memories was made, and music came along with me.
Anyways, this is a sweet ballad, the type of song melody. sings best. Even though I tried not to listen to it at first, it has grown on me, and because I listened to it most during traveling, it brings back memories of that really really long trip. =).

I saw the lyrics of this song on the Young Song that came with the August issue of Myojo. Incidentally this issue had all of the lyrics of Nishino Kana’s album, to LOVE, which Aitakute Aitakute was on.
Galileo Galilei was formed in 2007 and had debuted in 2010 with a mini-album by the name of HANAMASU no hana in February. In June, they released this song as their first single, Natsuzora. Galileo Galilei consists of brothers Ozaki Yuuki and Kazuki, Iwai Fumito and Sakou Hitoshi.
This is a nice little rock tune. The lyrics are fairly simple but doesn’t quite leave me impressed. Natsuzora means summer sky, which explains its summery and fleeting feel.

I’ve been meaning to romanize this song for a long time, but I never got around to it due to laziness.
Nishino Kana has been getting really popular lately. Every time I went to goo Music I see her name somewhere on that web site. Recently, Nelly, one of my online fan-friends, said she really liked “Aitakute Aitakute” by Nishino Kana. I went and downloaded her latest album and heard Nishino Kana for the first time. She has a really nice high-pitched voice. Cute and energetic. However her music isn’t intense enough for me to really like them.
I’m taking a break from translating Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni kagayaku. It’s fairly difficult… *sigh*
There will probably be a romanization of a few Nishino Kana songs coming up later.
