Vampire Knight + Still Doll

!Updated post here*~ Comments are appreciated~

Vampire Knight is a vampire manga that has been turned into an anime series. It is about a young girl called Yuuki Cross and Zero Kirryu who attend Cross Academy. The academy is dedicated to two classes. Day class - humans and Night class - vampires. It is up to Yuuki and Zero to protect the humans from getting bitten by the vampires and ward off the vampires. They are the only humans to know that the academy consists of both humans and vampires.

Main Characters of the Manga/Anime

The purpose of this academy is to bring harmony between humans and vampires as both groups had a horrific past and feud for centuries. Yuuki & Zero learned how to fight too!

Kaname Kuran is the dorm leader, group leader and representative of the vampires in the Night Class. He is much respected among the vampires.

It is a romance, action and slightly mysterious as you start to uncover the secrets behind the rules and regulations of order among vampires and the different types of vampires.

Vampire Knight Anime.



It is quite a different world with vampiric creatures and like no other! Not like a total western or eastern copy. It has a unique style....but then again this is the first vampiric story that I have come across so I might be wrong. Plus the vampires in this story are not immortal and they age.

OK I don't want to reveal too much but pictures are shown so you can get the general idea. You can read this manga ONEMANGA, the link on the right hand side.

Remember Kanon Wakeshima??? I have uploaded her song Still Doll to my CMO (right hand side). She sings and plays cello in this piece of soundtrack!! Listen Carefully. Here are her lyrics in Japanese and English!


Japanese Romanji


Hi Miss Alice.
Anata garasu no me de
Donna yume wo
Mirareru no?
Miirareru no?
Mata atashi
Kokoro ga sakete
Nagarederu
Tsukurotta
Sukima ni sasaru
Kioku-tachi


Hi Miss Alice.
Anata kajitsu no kuchi de
Dare ni ai o
Nagete iru no?
Nageite iru no?
Mou atashi
Kotoba o tsumugu
Shita no netsu
Samekitte
Mederu o-uta mo
Utaenai


Still, you do not answer.



Japanese


Hi Miss Alice.
あなた 硝子の眼で
どんな夢を
見られるの?
魅入られるの?
またあたし
こころが裂けて
流れ出る
繕った
隙間に刺さる
記憶たち


Hi Miss Alice.
あなた 果実の口で
誰に愛を
投げているの?
嘆いているの?
もうあたし
言葉を紡ぐ
舌の熱
冷め切って
愛でるお歌も
歌えない
Still, you do not answer.


English translation


Hi Miss Alice.
With glass eyes
What kind of a dream
Are you able to see?
Are you entranced by?
Again for me
My heart tears apart
And flows out
Memories
Pierce into
The mended crevice


Hi Miss Alice.
With a fruitful mouth
To whom are you
Throwing love at?
Grieving love at?
I'm already
Spinning words
The warmth of my tongue
Completely cools
And I can't sing
The song that I adore


Still, you do not answer.


Come to think of it, how come this song's meaning just doesn't fit in to the vampire manga/anime? I am so lost....ahaha it is quite the depressing and creepy song.




Lastly, being a cello player myself, I particularly like this image. Hope you do as well~
