Rurutia

Rurutia is one of my most beloved artists of all time. Her music brings out a lot of emotions in me, whether it be feeling relaxed, melancholy, and nostalgic. She always manages to capture my heartstrings. She has a new age, experimental feel about her and she's unique as an artist in the j-pop scene, debuting in 2001 and with her latest release in 2012.
Her ballads are very beautiful and her more energetic songs feel inspiring. All of her music is extremely pleasant to listen to. She has a specific image and she is a very private artist. Not much is known about her and limited public appearances just add to the air of mystery around her character. Her ethereal and angelic voice adds to the charm. I'd recommend her to anybody who likes emotional, atmospheric music that is easy to get lost in.
Seirios 
Oh glittering Seirios, burning Seirios,
Even if the heavens were burning away,
I can see a dream that my heart will not give up on.
No matter how far I have to go, and no matter how many times I have to stop,
I want to believe in myself. I want to continue believing in myself.

Hallelujah
The angels are falling into depravity
The forbidden high that replaces the holy wings
The swirling lust picks up speed and the town falls further
Oh hallelujah, wash it all away

Pavane
Jade and silver dishes, so much wine you could drown in it
Women opening their hearts and dancing, gold flying about
A mourning pavane echoes through the glass town
What lies at the altar is a hero on a white horse

Sky of Suzaku
The clear sky, an ominous red
The sun, melting its way down the sky
The last smile you left me is so transparent, it’s distorted
There’s an aching rush in my heart that won’t go away


LAST DAY
People become afraid to get close, because they know the pain of saying "goodbye",
but the invisible bonds between us met and grew,  so we nurture those bonds for ever, and ever.
We are sometimes hurt, as we cannot live how we want to,
but this warmth of your hand wrapped around my fingers,
is truly something I want to protect for ever, and ever.

Opus (ballad ver)
Hey, the darkening sky is so stunningly beautiful... 
It's way too bright for me, it's blinding my eyes
So please shut the window and don't let me see anything
I don't want tomorrow to come, it would be better if it never comes
The one who takes you away from me... I wish she would shatter in pieces like broken glass
A flower that rots as a bud is not even capable of having dreams
And it will probably never blossom as a flower

The rising fantasy and the faint moon that are so vain and empty
Soon everything will be buried in the thick blue smoke

Please give us a night that never ends.

Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

New momusu pv ~ 
I like the song but I really, really hate the outfits.
They're just so... ugly. Reminds me of... cheap costumes with cheap fabric.
Especially Reina's cat ears, makes it look like horrible cosplay outfits.
Unfortunately this seems to be a continuing trend since 1-2-3 had these kinds of outfits.
The effects in the video also make it look really cheap as well.
The good thing is that all my bb's look very beautiful. 

The interesting thing is that it's called "Temporary version"
Wonder what's different in the real ones..

Panda

I didn't realize that Mists of Panderia launched already~ 
So, I wasa bit pleasantly surprised when I saw it today.
I've been too distracted with Guild Wars however. 
Panda's are super cute though. ^_^

Random Ayu song of the day

crossroad
49th single

I wonder if it would’ve been better if I had taken the other way
Of the crossroad I stood on back then
I wonder what laid waiting on the opposite side
Of the crossroad I stood on back then

Ayu

My idol Ayumi Hamasaki. 

6 Songs.

Random questions~~
Just because I don't know what else to write about.

So : 6 songs you listen to the most. 

As a forewarning, I mostly listen to idol/jpop songs and I am going to pull this off of my last.fm account and see what my most played songs are from the past 3.5+ years. I wouldn't say these are my favourite songs in any order and there's quite a bit of other songs that I might like more but these ones have seen the most replay from me. AKB48, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Nishino Kana are definitely amongst my favourite artists ever. 


1)  AKB48 - Beginner
Are we dreaming?
Are we believing in future?


2) Itano Tomomi - Dear J
Wanna kiss you baby, my desire is getting crazy
Yet why do my tears start to overflow


3) Nishino Kana - Distance
When will you notice
That I want to be special to no one but you?


4) Ayumi Hamasaki - Last Angel
I don't want you to give up on me
I won't run away, I won't pretend
I won't do the same things again


5) Ayumi Hamasaki - M
Beginnings come at random
but endings always have a reason.


6) Ayumi Hamasaki - Sending Mail
The sun leaves me behind
And I am once again thrown into darkness today

Target buys

I stop being a hermit and leave my apartment every once in awhile and go on an adventure to Target. 
Got some thingys along the way.




I take abnormal amounts of time going through food sections of grocery stores. I can spend an entire evening going through every aisle looking at random stuffs. This is why I can never go grocery shopping with nobody other than my boyfriend and even then he tries to escape my grips. 

Here is the stuffs I bought~!

 Coffee Creamers: Coffee is awesome but so are creamers. I haven't tried the Coffee Mate Caramel one but it is sugar free so it entices me so. The Friendly Farms Pumpkin one is from Aldi's so I'm kind of cheating since it's not from Target but whatever. It is absolutely delicious and tastes like Fall. The International Delight Cold Stone Creamery one is really delicious as well. Tastes like melted ice cream but a bit more potent. Nonetheless they are all pretty delicious and it will make my mornings a bit nicer. 

 Teeeea: I absolutely love tea more than anything and everytime I go out I manage to buy a new tea to add to my ever growing collection. I love Celestial Tea's, their boxes are adorable and the tea is pretty dandy as well. I managed to pick up Candy Cane Lane which is pretty lovely. Every holidays their limited edition tea's come out and they are incredible. Put me into the holiday mood like nothing other. Other one's I really enjoy are GingerbreadSugar Cookie and Sugar Plum flavours which I unfortunately didn't catch at Target but they will be in my sights.

 SALSAAA: I really hate salsa which is kind of funny, but Archer Farm's somehow managed to change my mind somehow. Granted, I still hate chunky salsa's but picante is where it is at. I really love the Roasted Sundried Tomato flavour, unfortunately it lacks that spice I really like. They do have a Habanero Flavour but my god, it is too spicy. Medium to Hot is like 0 to 10. They need to chill on that. I haven't tried the Queso yet, but I love Queso and cheese so I assume I will love this. 


I also managed to break away from the food section long enough to go see the more bath/beauty oriented section. I swear, I wander through stores for hours looking at the most random shit. Nobody likes shopping with me. I wish I could find someone who liked to loiter and wander as much as me without feeling rushed. It's a glorious thing to be able to enjoy. Simple things, man.

 Up & Up: I don't know any reviews on these but I just bought the generic of .. er. I forgot which brand this is offbranding. Anyways, the ~Invigorating~ Facial Cleanser is okay, it made my face feel a little bit more dryer than usual but it smells fairly nice and I like the exploding balls, they're fun. I haven't tried the Blackhead Facial Scrub but I can't imagine it being other than basic but it will probably work fine nonetheless. I just wanted more simple washes compared to the Oxy 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Face Wash that I am using that is absolutely drying the fuck out of my face. 

 Lacura: Okay, this is Aldi's but I thought I would post this here anyways. It is 3.99 and incredibly inexpensive for a night cream but since I am cheap I was like fuckit I will go for this. It says it has retinol and antioxidants in it which is very good for a facial cream, but I'm not sure how well it works yet. It smells quite nice however and it feels really nice and smooth, rather than the sticky and heavy feelings of other creams. I hate the glass jar however because it isn't nice and unhygienic to keep dipping your fingers into it no matter how clean they are. I hope to get the day cream next time.

♥ Nailpolish (ELF, NYC): Cheapy, cheapy brands right here but I fell in love with that ELF colour (there isn't a colour name on this as far as I am aware) in the store. I wish I didn't have my shitty ipod camera because it is a lovely almost black with green shade and golden sparkles in it. It is very winter-ish and feels very vampy. It's a pretty, pretty colour. I also bought NYC Matte Me Crazy which I've heard awesome reviews about. Matte nailpolish is always very interesting and cool looking to me so I really want to try it with black nailpolish. It's also fun to watch it turn matte in front of your eyes. 

 Method Handsoap: Guuuh, I saw this in the store and thought this handsoap was sooooooo~~~ cute. The designs were very fall-ish and they all smelled so awesome. I ended up getting Primrose which is insanely strong but it is super super super lovely. Vanilla Chai was also in the line and that smelled heavenly. I bought this one mostly because it was on sale 30c cheaper than that one. lolol. :3




One of my most wanted products was a food scale but I've never managed to get one because I have not been able to find them cheaper than around 20$ and I couldn't justify it. Suddenly, in my journey at target the heaven's opened up and pointed me to this scale for only 5$. Awesome. I've been using it a lot and honestly, I would recommend anybody get a scale if they are watching calories or how much they're consuming. Especially when it comes to chips or meats, it's really nice to know exactly how much you are consuming. This was an awesome little investment!

Also, ended up getting these cute little baby plates in the dollar section. The dollar section of Target is so cute, always updating with the seasons. I thought these were really cute with fall/thanksgiving. The acorns little faces staring back at me and the monotone turkey Eating out of 'dem baby plates.




Okay, this post ended up getting a lot longer than I planned and a lot more srs but I love shopping for random things and talking about them and hoping that maybe someone wondering about anyyy of these things will find this blog and find it helpful amongst all the other random stuffs I post.
