Music: Book Of Friends

Alright. So Natsume Yuujinchou is a pretty famous anime, right? I've watched it before, but this is the first time I've listened to the original soundtracks. I have to say, I'm very impressed even though it is unlike Mushishi's ost which I love and adore very much, it has the same potential and has similar feelings, although only in some of the songs, for example 'Kusa Odoru Kaze no Hibiki' and 'Honoka no Kioku'. It is an anime after all. Mushishi is a really beautiful anime, while I feel Natsume Yuujinchou is rather like the conventional anime, but shows similar uniqueness and beauty as well. It has sad times and heart-felt times like that in Mushishi. But the thing is, Mushishi doesn't really make an effort, or make it seem that way. It shows things simply as it is and I cry because it's just so sad. I think this separates Mushishi from other animes as well. The soundtrack composed by Yoshimori Makoto is exceptional. I fell in love instantly when I heard 'Honoka no Kioku'. Again, I feel like I want to live in their world. The world of Natsume Yuujinchou. I want to go there and live happily ever after. There's been unexpected stuff happening to me, and now I feel like there is nothing more important in this world than enjoying life. You shouldn't regret the choices you've made. There is only moving forward and living how you want to. Enjoy life as it is. Music has really made me feel this way. Even though people tried to console me, it is only through music that I was able to understand all this.

Anyway, I love Natsume Yuujinchou and the ost. It is really a unique anime that cannot be passed off. One must watch it if they are fans of the supernatural and yokai. It can be slow-paced at times, but it is a rather laid-back anime. I have to say that I've jumped and screamed and had shivers while watching the episodes, so I am not sure if one can say it is a laid-back anime, but it's nothing too bloody or violent. The action's pretty good and exciting. I like them very much. Fell in love with Natsume Takashi's gentleness. During the anime, I noticed I keep saying things like, "Ah, yasashii nee~" towards Natsume. Haha. He's my type.

Enough nonsense now, this post was about music. The ost is really good. I still think Mushishi's ost is number one, but some songs in Natsume Yuujinchou's ost are beautiful as well. Again, I feel like going into their world. It just seems so peaceful, with the forests and mountains and tall trees. Ah, definitely. I'm going to find some place like this and live there until I die.

Riku

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I've watched this movie about this particular forbidden love. How my heart breaks for Riku. He's sort of the villain in all of it, but he's just a lost boy who kept an unrequited love for his friend. All those years, and everything was over when his loved one died. It was painful to see him suffering all by himself, since he never told anyone. Oh, poor Riku! poor Riku! I feel like giving him a big hug so he can cry all that hatred and anger away. He loved his friend so much for so long, but his friend loved someone else and died for someone else. How pitiful. It's nobody's fault, Riku. You don't need to blame it on other people(though I understood why he would). Dear Riku, it's okay to express it. Don't hold it in. It'll be better if you'd let go of the hate and anger.

Dear

I've been spending a lot of time reminiscing about the past, and by that, I mean about Dir en Grey. Kyo's screams are the best then and now. I really miss the cute Kyo back when they first started. It baffles me how cute he was. Then when they went on Europe and American tours, things started to get pretty tough on them. Kyo turned to express himself more. I have to say, I don't miss the days when he self-harmed on stage. I'm glad those days are gone (almost...) but I do miss their intensity and the pain that I could hear in that voice. I could tell the frustrations that they were having, the pain and the difficulties, and it translated into a penetrating voice which Kyo would scream out to the audience. I think those times of trial and pain pushed them further with their performance, resulting in an emotional performance each time. I cherish those days but I'm sure as happy they are pass. I miss to hear the pain in that voice but I'm also glad the pain of tho...

Is Loving too much a Curse?

I've been thinking about this lately. Thinking about the things that I love very deeply... It would absolutely crush me to have it taken away. Please, do not ever go away. Please be here for always and never end. It would crush me. It would crush me. I would break. So please don't ever end. Don't ever leave us. Promise us this.
