"only my railgun" and "My Soul, Your Beats!"


...... 引き籠もり に ...... なった!



, その 引き籠もり わ まだ 完璧 コントロール した。引き籠もり の 辛い, 厳しい よ!



As if to celebrate my rite-of-passage, my parcel arrives! And its free, I don't have to pay a cent for it! Courtesy of Standard Chartered Bank!

As usual, PLAYASIA delivers around in 2 weeks. Here are my spoils...

only my railgun, My Soul, Your Beats!, and a K-ON candy can.










The back of the K-ON can


    Bonus: Textless Opening and ending videos DVD



Athough I've only officially got 引き籠もり status on sunday, I started this lifestyle 2 weeks ago. I thought it'll be a relaxing period, I didn't expect to be still (so) busy with all the stuff I'm trying to do/would like to do. WTH! Like I've to stay up late to catch my fav National Geographic and Discovery programmes. They are never-ending! Once I've finish one, more comes up! (And it's a good thing Starhub didn't include the Discovery Science channel in its basic package, because I might have became a TV zombie!) I can keep up with the graveyard-shift timings of the programmes now, but it's become a tiring process, where I sleep late into the day. You can feel your biological clock in a mess. The TV is sucking me in, and is fighting with the computer for my time! And I've not even gone back to watching Anime and playing games yet! It is a scary time to become a 引き籠もり

秒速5センチメートル getto!


I have known PLAYASIA for quite sometime now, but I've not (had much chance) bought anything from it yet. So far most of my online purchases are from CDJAPAN. In general, I am still a bit edgy about purchasing online with credit card. WHy don't they include a password or something. Just the card number is enough for them to authorise the transaction? With internet banking having 2-factor authentication, strange the credit card companies didn't catch up.

Ok, that aside, the other day, looking for only my railgun cd brought me here. Playasia sells quite a lot of things... they even have dorobo neko! ( けど, it is only pre-order-status and the date is even longer than Strapya's March ) Hmmm FREE DELIVERY WITHIN SINGAPORE? No harm trying, I thought. It appears to be cheaper than CDJAPAN. IT was a correct and wrong decision.

only my railgun is out of stock(but it says its Back ordered. Ships once restock), ok it shouldn't take long to restock won't it? もう 一週間 だ, あの status わまだ 変わらない。そう... その世界わなにも 変わらない 。なにも。 Hehe, 御免,御免。 現実にわ戻る

Well, I surfed around the site while waiting, and I found 5 Centimeters Per Second with english subs! Actually I found one online sometime ago, it was on AMAZON. But it costs a US$100 over(latest US$166!!) and the packaging ehhh.... So at US19.90 it is a steal! At that price, one might suspect it is bootleg or have really sucky (english) subtitles... Yes those are my worries at first. But it turns out, it is one of my best spent US$19.90 in a while! The staff replied me on email that it is not bootleg, and for the english subtitles, I've seen a few minutes of it, they seeem ok... What! Haha, now it is US$18.90! I couldn't have saved US1 had I waited another week! Haha!

Yes the disc may be Hong Kong version, but it still looks very pretty, with all the goodies... Yorokobu da, minna! Some photos for your viewing..








 The box on the left is 'The making.. (of the show)' while the box on the left is the show itself


Love Letter みたい!


Love the postcards!






I'm looking for a place with big screen to watch with my friends! If you are my friend and you are reading this, Lucky you! 友達になっていいな!

And I've also bought Shoko-san's Sorairo Days [CD+DVD], and it is on the way to Singapore. I hope my railgun will follow soon! Hanate! Kokoro ni Kizanda de yume wo mirai sae okiZZari ni shite! Genkai......

Hai..(sign). まってしかないだけだ!

"only my railgun" by fripSide


Even when people know those seemingly useless activities are a time-drainer, they would still do it!! それでも遣る! The problem comes when some of us can't strike a balance and indulged excessively. (Sounds familiar??)


As Michael have taught me, it isn't impossible to sing japanese song even if one doesn't know japanese! 不可能でわない! Memorising songs can be fun, fulfilling, enriching (you go in-depth into the song and you learn new words!), frustrating, tedious... all in one package. It is also a test of your determination, whether u can last, memorising the whole song that is. Faster songs are harder, but more satisfying :)... I still remember 'Northern Cross' took me 4 months to finish!!! Mumumuhahaha... but normal songs still usually took a month for me. It is hardworkです!


'only my railgun' is done by fripSide, the title itself shows that it is made for the anime - a true ANISON! 南條愛乃 (Nanjo Yoshino) the vocalist from fripSide is also a seiyuu! She has crazy high-pitch-vocals. (Is there even a low note in the song? ha)


The opening sequence is also done very nicely. Even though the opening has changed, this song still lingers in my mind... (it isn't ORICON no.3 for nothing!)




With reference from animelyrics.com...


hanate! kokoro ni kizanda yume wo mirai sae okizari ni shite
genkai nado shiranai imi nai kono chikara ga hikari chirasu sono saki ni haruka na omoi wo
Release, the dream engraved in my heart, leave even the future behind
This limitless, yet meaningless power Sparkles with light with my feelings at the distance, preceding it
(Comment: ...okiZARI... so fast a killer high pitch!!) Hanate!(Comment: Shoot is a stronger word than release(also fits the shooting the railgun), but then in this context sounded crude... alamak tough job for the translators!! And this part is fast..)


aruite kita kono michi wo furikaeru koto shika
dekinai nara...ima koko de subete wo kowaseru
If I can do nothing but look back at the journey along this road...
I have the choice to destroy everything, right here and now

Worried Kuroko.. Commment: The windmill scene is ok for this slower portion of the song. LOL Kuroko actually looks serious?


kurayami ni ochiru machinami hito wa doko made tachimukaeru no?
kasoku suru sono itami kara dareka wo kitto mamoreru yo
How long can the people stand against this darkness that falls on the city?
Surely somebody will protect them from the pain that is racing through
The speed demon is unleashed again! (emotional: Biribiri having an expression, that something important juat past her - does that suggest her having some affection with Touma? And quickly interrupted by Kuroko☆)


Looking! The(-tsu) blitz-tsu loop this planet-tsu to search-chi way. Only my RAILGUN can shoot it-tsu. imasugu! karada juu wo hikari no hayasa de kake megutta tashikana yokan Look! The blitz loop that (tries to) guide the planet Only my railgun can shoot it. Right now, this definite sensation Runs around my whole body at the speed of light


For that authetic jap feeling, pronounce english Japanese do! The 't's in the sentence you need to put emphasis - pronounce it as 'tsu'! Wha, this sentence have quite a lot of tsu!! I have added for your singing pleasure!! ha...blah to pronounce these all so quickly is a tongue twister for me! まだまだ。 しゅうぎょうwaたりない。
to be continued.....
