Jiro Waku came back

It's a long time I don't write here due to school and other... Anyway today I'm back after about one month to talk about something that happened and made me the happiest person in this world.

As a WANDS fan knows, Jiro Waku, the second vocalist of the band that took Show's place in the third period, had left the music world since a long time.

But, on March 28th he made his return at Issei Ambo (Issei Sugimoto)'s live session.

Issei said that there would have been a secret guest vocalist but maybe not all espected it. I admit I had always believed it was him but I didn't express any opinion about it because I was afraid to know that it wasn't him and then be disappointed.

Many photo have been posted on Issei's blog and this video has been uploaded and I finally could hear Jiro's voice live.

When I recognize that in this photo there was him I started to cry out in joy because my dream came true. Then, the other photos on Issei's blog were fantastic, and Jiro looked so cool!

The thing that surprised me is the piece of song that Jiro sang in the video which says these words:

"Boku ga boku de aru tame ni kachitsuzukenakya naranai" 

It means:

"I have to keep winning so I can be myself"

I don't know if it's only a coincidence but it suits perfectly with him. 

It made me think about his situation: he has to win all the difficulties of the music world but at the end he will be able to be himself: a singer.

Doesn't it suit perfectly to him? Well, I hope it can be like this, I really hope that.

Jiro, I'll wait for you.

B'z - PRAY

For Lyrics and translation click here

Expressing all my words of regret for Japan, I feel that I have to do something for them, for that country I've always love and respect for the beauty of the cities and the wonderful people who live there.

I'm not one of those people who express sad feelings to others, but this time the feelings where too much strong to repress them inside of me. As I'm a sensitive girl, the images of a destroy country and suffering people made me cry and wanted to help someway. Of course I couldn't do anything of big, but in my little possibilities I wanted to support them.

So, I started to look for information, and, of course, to pray. Even if I said that I don't express feelings to others, I started to show to every people around me that I'm following, with all my soul, a cause. As a matter or fact I put on my Twitter avatar the twibbon "PRAY FOR JAPAN", I put on my school back-pack a piece of cloth with the same sentence and I created a bracelet with "JAPAN" written on it.

I know, all these things don't give them any material help but I wanted to show all my moral support because this is one of the only things I can do.

Second, I've found the number of SMS to donate via cellphone at the Italian Red Cross which is supposed to give all the money raised to Japan. I still have to send the SMS but I will surely do it.

Finally I want to dedicate this B'z song to all the Japanese people. I find it very beautiful in the meaning and the perfect part for this situation is:

"We're connected together over this one vast land

What kind of tears, what kind of joyful voices

If you prick up your ears, than maybe you could hear them

Even today, somewhere, someone is praying for someone else's sake"

I'm one of those people who is praying for you, Japan! Be strong!

Yes, I came back to the 80s! I fell in love with this song some weeks ago (maybe a month ago) when a Youtube account that I follow uploaded the 2010 version of this song (HERE) I thought it was a modern song, but when they said that it's from 1984 I couldn't believe it! It's wonderful!

Now I use to listen to it about twice a day! I love the video too, it's typical of the 80s because of the pinball, which was one of the symbols of those years! I love it, I love it, I love it!

My Favourite Manga Characters

Ok! Let's talk about something different this time! I wanted to talk about my three favourite manga characters which are also related to something about me or about my life. So, let's start!

My favourite characters of all the time is Hanamichi Sakuragi from Slam Dunk:

Hanamichi Sakuragi was my first love! I remember I was about 7-8 years old when I first saw Slam Dunk: I fell in love with him at first sight! Well, I know he doesn't exist, but I hope I find a guy like him in the future! I'm still looking for a very tall guy  (1.88 metres tall)!

The second-favourite character is Nana from the homonymous manga:

Why I like her so much? Well, I feel a bit like her: I look like a girl with a strong pesonality, but inside I'm very sensitive and fragile. I'm also sweet and romantic... just like Nana!

The third-favourite character, but not for this reason it isn't as important as the others, is Takuto Iwai from Gakuen Heaven:

Why I like this sad guy? It's obvious: I like his sadness. Just look at his eyes and you will feel a strange love increasing inside of you. Then, I love the fact that he is a painter who is very humble about his skills as an artist. I feel a bit like him just for the same reasons that I feel like Nana plus that Takuto has those sad eyes and that pale complexion... just like me...

So... these were my three favourite manga characters!

See you soon!

(Romaji by TRamp94)

I've known this song since I started to search for Issei's works. This should be his first work dating back to 2005.

I've loved it since the first time I've heard it! It's very energetic and encouraging in being strong.

Of course the first thing to notice in the PV is Issei's presence with his Blacky ~ ♥

I can also notice that there is CANDY, the singer of Issei's previous bands "CANDYMAN" and "flow-war", who is playing the guitar on Issei's left.

I loved this song so much that I've been working on the lyrics yesterday! I hope I've written them well!

See you! ~ ♥
