Hurry X-mas by L'arc-en-ciel

»English Translation«

Lyric added by: generousjade
The dolled up street is like a fantasy
Even if it’s like this all year round, I wouldn't mind
My heart is racing as I hide the present you wanted.

Ah hurry, yeah hurry, Isn’t it Christmas Eve yet?

Hurry Xmas! I'll steal the night sky and light the candles
Beloved, the stars are in your eyes
Fill the glasses with the bubbling sweetness, so sweet!
Come on, the party is starting
come on music!

I wish there were snow drifts, but it seems this year it won’t snow.
With you wearing that nice dress, I’d need nothing else.

Oh, the glittering streets are filled with dreams
Painting over the world!

Hurry Xmas! I'll steal the night sky and light the candles
Beloved, the stars are in your eyes
Fill the glasses with the bubbling sweetness, so sweet!
Come on, it’s the start of the party

Hurry Xmas! I'll steal the night sky and light the candles
I'll keep my present for her hidden for a while
Holly wreath and candy cane decorated tree
I wonder if she would be glad?

Xmas time has come to town (xmas time has come to town)
Xmas time for you and me (xmas time for you and me)
Xmas time has come to town (xmas time has come to town)

A kiss on this blessed night! Thank you Jesus

Thank You!!!

Some thank you's put to music, some put to anime...

Thanks Deretsun for the cheer!!! ^^

:::Thanksgiving! Japanese Appreciation Time:::

Hi everyone! First I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Even though in Japan they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I'm using it as an excuse to celebrate all things Japanese! :D

What exactly is Otakulture? Let's review shall we?
There's...

Anime,














(Compiled these anime into this picture myself =P)

Manga,














Visual Novels,















Vocaloids,












Touhou,











Wacky Strapya-world Products,

and MUCH more! This is what Otakulture is all about! There's so much to do whether you're an Otaku or even just a Japanese-fan! Whether it's looking up new anime or staying up late to read Visual Novels--everyone has their own unique way of appreciating everything Japanese! So be thankful today for all the wonderful things in your life! And hopefully Otakulture is one of those things! =P

That's all for today, thanks for reading! ^^,
:::Deretsun:::

K: サンクスギビング　おめでとう！
R: Sankusugibingu Omedetou!
E: Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. This KRE is based off American Culture. Remember--in Japan they don't have thanksgiving, so if you said this to someone who was Japanese they might not understand--but most people in Japan know American Culture so sometimes it's good to know =P

:::The Fuko Trance:::

Hi everyone! I welcome you to one of the funniest moments in Clannad--The Fuko Trance! :D

What is the Fuko Trance exactly?

So there's this character in Clannad named Fuko, you see, and when she sees something extremely cute she goes into this trance, and--and... oh just watch it =P:



This is one of the most memorable comedy moments in all the anime I've seen--hopefully you'll see this in context when you watch Clannad (MY FAVORITE ANIME!).

Chansu and I have claimed this to be called "The Fuko Trance" and you'll probably hear me talk about it in future posts.

So that's just another tidbit to add to your otaku knowledge!

Ja~ne! =P,

Otaku Helping Others! Part 4

Today's "Otaku Helping Others!" post is about...

~Making Friends~

Aizen and friends ^^

Ooops

Tomoya and his true friends ^^

Its easy to make friends, in fact it's  so easy it's hard!

It's not easy in shounen anime,  you know how they say the best romances start off as friends?? Well in shounen the best friendships start off as rivals! That want to kill each other!

 

When Piccolo and Goku first met Piccolo wanted to rule the world and put humans in slavery. Goku wanted to beat Piccolo and eat a couple dozen turkeys (since Goku is addicted to food). The two later became friends and Goku's son Gohan even thinks of him as an uncle. Especially since Piccolo sacrificed his life for Goku's son later on.

Ichigo and Renji had a similar story. Ichigo wanted to save Rukia from execution but Renji wanted Ichigo to stay out of thier business. After Ichigo kicked his butt the two later became good friends especially because Ichigo saved Rukia who Renji likes. Renji forever remains weak though.

Is it me or does it seem like the more negative rival becomes the weaker person later on... 

Well that's cool but friendship is cooler!

Ooops that one got mixed in with the rest... Some rivals never become friends but remain rivals for an entire series... *Cough* Naruto *Cough*

What about making new friends you say?

Well even introverts can make friends! Take hope my e-friend!
And introverted guys usually meet a girl that wants to be their friend...

 Kyon sat in front of Haruhi at school. She later recruited him to be part of her supernatural/alien awareness club. He was dragged into the situation and made new friends... With an esper, alien, and a time traveler... who joined the club posing as regular students. Kyon later found that Haruhi can change the universe. Lucky!!!

Tomoya met Nagisa walking to school. He is an introverts introvert. He comes with dad problems, poor school attendance, and a lackluster or should I say first-class lack of motivation. He meets a girl who asks him to walk her up the hill to school and the two become best friends and then lovers!

Take heart even if you're not an introvert or fated to meet that special girl. You can still make friends. Let's look at the formula for a lasting friendship!

1. Have common interests!

In Yakitate Japan, Azuma found friends in his co-workers who all share a love of making delicious bread!

2. Have similar goals!

Luffy's crew are all friends who all want to find One Piece and live the pirate life! However the admirals and marines don't like pirates and they're strong... Along with ruthless pirates...

3. Need each others support!

In Tsubasa Chronicles, the band of friends stick together because without each other they may not find their way back to their own dimension. They become friends through their struggle to get to their home dimensions.

\4. Having someone to rag on!

 Jet always listens to Spike's problems. And likes to rag on him from time to time...









5. Possibility of going out!

I think that's the only reason Risa and Otani stayed friends... Even though they argued alot and had height issues.

6. RED STRING OF FATE?

Chansu and I almost discussed this at length... Does there exist a RED STRING of fate that ties two people together?? Well I really don't know... But I would think that it would make for a lasting friendship. and I don't know this anime...

Hey! If all else fails don't give up! RPGHero is friendless except for a few good people, even if they are just Chansu and Deretsun...

This is RPGHero signing out!!!

Kaze wo Sagashite by The Hexagon Family

»The English Translation«

Lyric added by: Konanina
Look, there you are, my love, waiting in front of me.

Our long journey has just begun.
Courage, love, friendship
and a little bit of playfulness,
these are the things we will hold on to forever.

We're all fragments of the Earth
coming together and little by little,
taking from
and the wind will keep on blowing.
Woo woo woo (Yeah)

Feel the wind, you've got to feel the wind.
Let's look to the wind to dry our tears.
It's such an adventure, to meet someone.
We won't stop.Look, there your are, my love, waiting in front of me.

When you can not help me with the sad and crying.
I have friends laugh at the fun and helped.
I dress like a miracle met billion.
Blows to our dreams at the same time watching the same scene (yeah)

I feel the breeze as the wind.
Go out and find the wind tears will dry.
Full of new people to increase.
I find you boring, reckless driving in it alone.

Every time you shed your tears you get stronger
Every time you shed your tears your memories
more and more, more and more, more and more will be increased
Woo woo woo (Yeah)

Feel the wind, you've got to feel the wind.
Let's look to the wind to dry our tears.
It's such an adventure, to meet someone.
We won't stop. Look, there your are, my love, waiting in front of me.
