Oh the lack of updates~ What a busy world. However, I bring you a personal music analysis of both Vampire Knight opening themes! Read it at your leisure.
On/Off is a pop duo consisting of twin brothers who is well-known for singing the opening songs of Vampire Knight + Guilty.
Naoya Sakamoto and Kazuya Sakamoto debuted in 2007.
1st opening of Vampire Knight - Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi (Two beats and a red sin)
2nd opening of Vampire Knight Guilty - Rinne: Rondo (Cycle: Rondo)
This is a review based off both opening themes of Vampire Knight and Guilty. It comparatively looks at the differences in song composition and the blend between both singers.
People who aren't musicians can still understand it!!
I am not concerned about the lyrics.
Sorry if I sound too meticulous in picking up details and in no way do I want to criticise the effort gone into producing these songs, I just want to be able to practice my musicianship and keep those skills up~
Full lyrics, music and summary are provided under the cut :D
Synopsis
The story revolves around Kanzuki Shizuku, a young man who was estranged from his father, a world-famous wine critic with assets worth billions of dollars. When his father passed away, he left behind a wine collection worth a fortune, but in order to inherit it, Shizuku must solve a series of puzzles left by his father to identify 6 wines. His competitor was Tomine Issei, a prominent wine critic, whom his father adopted before his death.
In the father's house, the competition begins!
This show has won Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actress at Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix - magazine readers of which the majority of voters are women in their twenties.
Man I haven't been updating this blog for ages!!! I was practically up to my head with a lot of mess! Not to mention exams starting on Friday and I just finished a 50% assignment yesterday!! Anyway, for those of you who have been keeping up-to-date with Arashi's new music video there are a number of things I would like to share and of course...just a few amateur goodies.
Also, I will excuse myself these 2 weeks (hiatus) for I need to concentrate on exams. Please bear with me when it won't be updated unless I needed to relax then I will post something haha.
Arashi's Crazy Moon have them breaking down on the dance floor.
Have you seen the music video for this yet??? You won't understand my ramblings if you haven't!
Kiva's Emperor Song - Supernova is the best isn't it? The adrenaline rush song is played in the background when Kiva turns into the Emperor or the Kiva dragon himself.

These overflowing emotions
Are penetrating through this body
The Next Stage of dissolution of Time has begun
It is never enough
Resignations that are like excuses
Always piling up endlessly, as though hiding something
Surrounded somewhere at a distance
A scenery which seemed to have been gazed upon
Swiftly smashed to pieces and scattered on the palm of my hands
Tell me the destination of this feeling
This unrestrainable scorching blaze
Burns away all confusion
Starting to forget all sensations until yesterday
No one ever knows, the sounds of mine
Evolving in every aspects
A yet unknown side of myself is waking
Supernova
Advancing forward
No longer afraid of anything
As though accustomed to regrets
Desiring to want to protect
The futures of important people
From the moment of realization, everything has changed
Look, Fate is now speeding up
With maximum impact
These happenings are calling up a miracle
Nothing can stop the ever-changing me
No one ever knows, the surges from me
Resonating throughout the world
Towards a new era, start running… Supernova
These overflowing emotions
Are penetrating through this body
…there is no need to escape
I am right now transforming…
Like a little star born inside of Fate
This unrestrainable scorching blaze
Burns away all confusion
Starting to forget all sensations until yesterday
No one ever knows, the sounds of mine
Evolving in every aspects
A yet unknown side of myself is waking

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!

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~

Vampire Knight Guilty has a very interesting ending played by a rising star and cellist (I would say). Her music is quite fresh and many enjoy the essence and the conveyance of emotions/atmosphere that is captured from Vampire Knight & Guilty. I think that classifying this piece as a Gothic type of music is not correct. I don't really think that the vampires portrayed here is gothic because isn't a vampire a fantasy creature that takes on the human form of a vampire bat to begin with?
I think that the big mishap of individuals classifying both gothic and vampire together could be an evolutionary justification because I still don't see how the 2 of them will fit; especially in Vampire Knight. Yes I would agree that the manga/anime is dark but certainly not gothic, even though the story of vampires by this authour reaches a whole new level of fabrication.
What do you think? I have no idea what I am writing haha jot down your opinions/comments.
I have lots of goodies here for those who are into Vampire Knight Guilty Ending - by Kanon Wakeshima. It includes Lyrics + Translation, Video and a song review done by me.
This lovely song to be honest was one of the best ones that I have heard from Arashi! It is so serious and the compelling dance moves really topped it off. Not to mention the instrumental music that moves the whole piece.
Whoo go violins!! hahaha this piece I think, is pretty much different from the ones that Arashi used to sing; especially with the solo singer holding out the melodic line with the others harmonizing in the background with arpeggios....(that was done really well and difficult to accomplish sounding in tune)
The song is actually for the opening of Maou (with Ohno Satoshi in it). meh!!! I want to watch Maou!!!
Anyway, the drama would needed a motivating tune and mysterious parts. Arashi delivered it to the table! The feeling that I got from the music was cool yet sinister, but also sad and crying out in anguish at the same time.
I later on went to find the lyrics and sure enough, the music was filled with such emotions.

English Translation
A flickering single light, fading away without healing the pain. "I take your life forever, you take my life forever" A single tear lightly falling, fading away without reaching the feeling. "I take your life forever, you take my life" Hiding in the endless time. Love certainly fall down like the rain. (The traces of fallen tears. The color of frozen tears.) The memories that won't come back goes around. Everything at the end of this world has been stolen. (The traces of fallen tears. The color of frozen tears.) The sadness... Even if I drew what ever kind of ending, my heart is still in mystery. Just like the darkness, the truth is coming close. Even if I drew what ever kind of world, I couldn't see tomorrow. Just like the lily, oblivious of impurity. My wishes are clear. A person vowing to a whitewashed flower, with the promise that nothing will change. "I take your life forever, you take my life" Left behind in the voice that won't reach. Love softly whistle like the wind. (The traces of fallen tears. Unable to completely hide the two faces.) Sleeping in the endless night, the pain remains in the scar of the dream. (The traces of fallen tears. Unable to completely hide the two faces.) The sadness... Even if a small light was born, the grief keeps on coming back. Just like a lie, the truth disappears. Even if I open my last wing, my destiny won't change. The lily that won't last long and the pain won't go away. I could only fall in love inside a dream. The sadness... Even if I drew what ever kind of ending, my heart is still in mystery. Just like the darkness, the truth is coming close. Even if I drew what ever kind of world, I couldn't see tomorrow. Just like the lily, oblivious of impurity. My wishes are clear.
And the final part is......
The REAL music video of the performance!!!! Cool dancing man! I think that Arashi did a really superb performance by far. It will be interesting to see if they will move from the "pop" repertoire into more emotionally engaging and confident songs singing harmonizing melodies with or against one another. That is what I hope to hear and they may start the trend with this song. Who knows???
.......keep on playing the music over and over again....it is such a good song when you take a break from everything; or listening to it on the bus on the way home. WAH!!!!!! so crazy over it!
Ohno is such a good singer....I have included his solo song as well - Take me faraway.
Enjoy the songs~~!!!
Current Mood: ~ I take your life forever, you take my life forever ~ lala
YEEE! Listening to a few songs again and again and again!
Garo "Boku ga ai wo tsutaete yuku 僕が愛を伝えてゆく" !! Ohno Satoshi solo - Take me faraway 神雕侠侣 - 天下无双 by Zhang Liangying (张靓颖)
All three are lovely expressive songs without rocky elements. This means that I can do my work playing these songs! hahaa oh man sooo funny! But I am singing instead of doing work....tsk tsk not good.
I can't stop listening to Take me faraway! Ohno's voice is more powerful than the rest of Arashi and has the nicest tone! There is always a climax when it comes to certain soundtracks. OHNO's climax part is soooo nice!! hahah what more is there to say? Wonderfully done!

Unable to hold back your tears,
for the first time, you show me how vulnerable you are
As your heart melts,
the walls you shut yourself within crumble away
I am here all alone, still hurting,
unable to forgive myself for that bitter mistake
The present is like a scene of disarray,
a scene where I can't envision what tomorrow will be
Someday there will be an end to this sorrow,
I will never stop loving you (loving you)
So that you may dream once again
in spite of losing everything
I'll keep on loving you,
I'll keep on loving you
Stay the way you are right now,
Should you fall upon your knees, I will be there to catch you
Time that has passed will never return
The tears that stream down your cheeks shall give way to a smile
I send a kiss up the gray sky
I want to feel you, stay this way forever
Let us discover the rest of this dream
Even if the night passes in silence, I'll always be by your side
Someday there will be an end to this sorrow,
I will never stop loving you (loving you)
So that you may dream once again
in spite of losing everything
I'll keep on loving you
Someday there will be an end to this sorrow,
I will never stop loving you (loving you)
So that you may dream once again
in spite of losing everything
I'll keep on loving you,
I'll keep on loving you

Unfortunately I only have the lyrics for 天下无双...not the translation

Yes still keeping my AAA music up there because I just posted the lyrics up a few moments back!
I know that some of those who visit my website are from overseas and I am not sure if you do know me well or not.
My blog is literally my diary since I am too lazy to write a real diary. So whatever I write in here, please do not take offense as it really is just my opinion. You may have a different opinion to me but I really don't mind what you want to say or in fact let me know that my information is incorrect.
I am still learning a lot of things and many things changes everyday. My entries will soon be outdated and the information that was true to the core back in the days are not true now. The world keeps changing.
Another change that I have made would be....deleting photos off my blog. haha since I do not have a paid account which would let me upload unlimited numbers of photos, I just don't have that resource and not ready to pay yet. Mainly because this blog is for my other friends and family overseas to view. Also, this means that they will have to come to my blog as soon as they can to take the pictures and never appear on it again ahaha.
Anyway! As I had spoken/written/typed up before, I am going to talk about AAA!!! I currently have 3 songs from them: Mirage, Sunshine & Samurai Heart. These are some of my favourite songs because it really expresses who you are, it is exotic & authentic.
The Mirage entry has already been posted. So here we are with Sunshine & Samurai Heart!
You can see at one part that Misako Uno came in too early on the choreography at 2:05 haha but all 7 members had a short amount of time to get this music video done and I think it is fabulous! Just a little hiccup that's all. It doesn't stop me from going ohhh the whole thing is ruined!
I love love love traditional instruments! I wish I knew how to play some! I have one sitting in my room yet I do not know how to fix it up....so yes...collecting dust.
Love love love the lighting, fire and switching scenes to traditional instruments! Everybody gets a fair share of exposure to the camera and the costumes are lovely! Certainly fits the scene but it most importantly expresses the character of the song as the singers dance and make use of the 'wing' on their left arm.

たなびく御旗(みはた)風林火山
ばらまかれた自由に群がる世代が
巨大な世界に撃つでかい願い
ペンと拳につめた意味、言葉たち
飽くなき野望にピリオドはなし
孤独とか痛みとか舐め合う気はないぜ
打ち砕けブチ砕けリアルなsomething
掴みとるのさ
in this my hand
握りしめた現在(いま)
解き放て彼方へ
容赦なく捨てては手に入れろ
in this my soul
見えない明日を
イカレタこの世界を
希望に変えてく生き様
with samurai heart
道の無い道 飛ばして
目指した先 足のばして
ワラワラじゃまなだけの魑魅魍魎
なら一刀両断
到底届かん傍観者の驚嘆
冗談じゃすまされないところへ
ついてきたいならここで
ただ手掲げ 荒げろ声
break through the defenses
(nobody helps me any more)
break through the enemies
おのれの力で
突き進んでゆけ
~repeat~
Samurai heart
Lyrics: Sasaki Osamu /Music: Ikoman・Vrij(baked new jack)
AH! I do not have the translation.....my japanese is not up to standard...I don't know what this means. Anyone knows where the translation version is, please let me know.
Sunshine!!! Oh it makes me want to dance in the sun! lol Fun fun and I really like how it is so catchy, uplifting and free! For me, summer is dreadful as the UV rays here are in full blast, preventing us me from enjoying my day without getting sunburnt or hot!
The words AAA appears above the shop behind the singers and dancers. hahaa I don't understand the other 3 guys on the beach other than just dropping food on them...ahaha man the beach looks so nice though~ darn....this music video is just too nice!
Makes me want to go out in the summer!!! hahaaha I wouldn't mind having the ice in the bowl! Or noodles! yummy

By the way, I think that AAA does Para Para? It is a form of Japanese dancing that is situated mostly around arm movements and the feet don't do much although in certain songs, it requires a bit more foot work. Uses techno music. It is a type of dancing art in Japan but also seen as an aerobics routine. These moves are repetitive and once you know the basics, other songs don't seem too difficult.
Naoya Sakamoto and Kazuya Sakamoto debuted in 2007.
