音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Tonight, I made a new album. Its name is “inspired minor art works.”
Sorry for the long name.
But I think it’s the best name.
For example, the very first picture.
The title is “shimigami.”
Why this one? By the way, don’t you think I’m cosplaying “Hell Girl”?
If you ask me about them…
I got inspired from some conversations with my online friends.
Commonly, I don’t bother others, but sometimes, I can become another person who is very evil. Such things also happen: introducing some good websites, asking for their PC info and IP address, etc…
Therefore, one day by chance, I saw and knew that I’m called as “shinigami” by a guy. Later, I was always called like that.
Ok, ok. We’re good friends, I forgive you ♪♪～
However, I have to do something for my new nickname…
Thus, I drew this one.
I must get him (he likes Snoopy for some reasons) in this picture, since I’m a shinigami. Also, right, of course I need cluster amaryllis, as well as cosplay of “Hell Girl.” ♪♪～
When I finished it, ummm, not bad～ but… this one is the biggest file, that’s what I knew together! It was a PSD file, in size of… 21.1MB???!!!
Ok, ok, it doesn’t matter.
Like that, I made the album (yet I’m not sure when I’ll get the next picture updated…) ♪♪～

今夜、私は新しいアルバムを作成した。名前は「inspired minor art works」。
名前のほうがちょっと長いのでごめんね。
でもこれも一番いい名前だなぁと思ってるの。
たとえば、この一番目の作品。
タイトルは「shinigami」なのです。
何でこんなタイトル？ちなみにこの絵、あまりコスプレっぽいにならないだっけ？
もし私にこう聞いたら…
オンライン友達との話し合う途中霊感を与えられたから。
私ね、ほかの人にあまり迷惑かけないが、時々ほんーとに意地悪くなれるから。好きなサイトを他人に紹介したり、アイテのパソコンやIPアドレスなどを訪ねたり、こんなことも良くあるの。
だから、あの日、偶然か必然か、ある人に自分が「シニガミ」と呼ばれることが知った。その後から、またこんな風に呼ばれることもあった。
まあまあ、みんなも仲よしだもん、あいつのことを許してあげる♪♪～
ただ、何とかしなきゃ、自分のニューあだ名に…
だから、この絵を描いた。
あいつ（彼はスヌーピーをなんて大好きらしい）を巻き込まなくちゃね、シニガミだから。そうそう、もちろん彼岸花だね、「地獄少女」のコスプレも♪♪～
出来上がるときに見ると、けっこう悪くないだね～　ただし、これが有史以来一番大きいなファイルになることも良く知った。PSDファイルです、大きさは…21.1MB？？？！！！
まあまあ、どうでもいいから。
こうして、こんなアルバム（次の更新はいつかはまだ分からないけど…）は出てきた♪♪～

Spring, March, winter has gone away. Flowers have bloomed all around here. A few days ago, the sun started to have a rest, and passed the weather to the cloud and the rain. It has been three days of rain. Under the gray sky, it’s a nice scenery of blooming flowers.
But, why I fell there’s something uncomfortable faintly?
To think on it, what’s that on earth…?
Yeah, some days ago, just taking fewer clothes, and my throat and bones became having aches vainly, later, the fever… in all, seemed I just seriously had a cold.
That was rather a terrible experience…
Well, try to remember, anyhow, such period exists in each year.
The period of “chilly spring weather.”
Chilly spring weather…
In fact, on yesterday’s way back, I remembered this word suddenly when a cold wind blew toward me.
Chilly spring weather (hanabie in Japanese): during the days of cherry blossom’s blooming, before the real warmness comes, the weather may turn very cold; also, the coldness. (from goo.ne.jp)
That’s a nice word, really.

GENES IX, is not only just a textbook that every molecular biological student must read, you may also have fun from the tome-sized reading.

Just now, I was reading Chapter Phage Strategies. there are two ways for some kinds of phage to survive: lysis or integration. In case of lysis, the host cell is broken and new phages are released out, and in case of integration, the phage DNA/RNA becomes one part of its host bacteria – thus, such host bacteria will not “die”; they may continue to live as before.

Then, the small accident happened. A lots of easy-to-get illustrations are one feature of the book; naturally, there is one picture about the two ways of phage life.

However, the most funny thing was the sentence whose background was marked with green.

“bacteria live happily ever after.” (on page 351, GENES IX, Benjamin Lewin)

How can such a funny sentence be here? Maybe it just a common expression in English, I'm not sure about it. Yet the sentence itself isn't wrong or problematic, here I can only say, I'm so happy that I could encounter such funny thing during my scientific reading!

The idea of drawing FJ girls/goddess was derived from making a fanbook for Yuki Kajiura, on the forum.canta-per-me.net.
At the very beginning, I wanted to draw the 6 girls whose names have been combined into FictionJunction: YURIKO, YUUKA, ASUKA, KAORI, KEIKO, WAKANA, plus Yuki-sama. But… I’ve only seen few Asuka’s photos! I had got to move ASUKA out of my list T__T…
And then, I started to draw. That’s fun, yet a little nervous. Does everyone know whom I’m drawing if I don’t tell?
Eventually, I finished.

#YURIKO KAIDA
I admit that my fondness for Yuriko is one reason of why I drew her first. She’s so important because of her chorus. Imagine without her chorus what kind of the music may be (even though that will still be wonderful ^ ^; ). She has the right to be drawn first. On clothing, really, I’ve no idea, but I love the black dress (and the hat) on the Live, so…

#YUUKA NANRI
I can never forget the teary “Akatsuki no Kuruma,” I can listen to “nostalgia,” “piano,” etc. repeatedly for hundreds of times. They have released two albums so far, and I especially love “circus,” so my “mini” YUUKA is in the “circus-dress.” Although YUUKA’s hair has been longer than the “circus”-time, I thought shorter version might be better.

#KAORI ODA
She impressed me so much on the July Live. She is tall, energetic; her voice is beautiful and strong. After seeing one of her photo on her blog, I knew how to depict her. I tried to get her taller than others in my drawing, but, maybe I shouldn’t have done like that… -__-;; By the way, is my performance of her Live-dress right?

#KEIKO KUBOTA
In Kalafina’s songs, her voice is always covered by WAKANA… -__-||. But she’s very cute, and I like her low voice; I like to find her part while listening to Kalafina. I used the dress from “sprinter/ARIA,” one of my favorite dresses. But why, I always think there’s a bit of strange of her eyes? … if you know, tell me (yet I’ll never fix my drawing…).

#WAKANA OOTAKI
I even ignored her in “Hokuto no Ken”! But after the first release of Kalafina, I started to pay attention on her. Her soprano voice is excellent, or “goddess like” (from Kajiura’s comment). I also borrowed the dress on the July live; instead of a hair decoration, I put a shark on her head. I know you must know the reason.

#YUKI KAJIURA
She’s the real goddess! Originally, I wanted to draw her playing the piano, but since there has been one version already, I gave it up. I took a long time to considerate how to depict her. Suddenly, I thought up her self-made language. Everything became clear then. Look at, you’ll find the texts on book she’s holding are “Kajiura-go Jisho (Kajiuran Dictionary).”

AHHHHHHHH-excitinnnnng-surginnnnnng-lanlanlan♪♪～
This was Yuki Kajiura-sama’s, as well as my one-sentence impression of “Seventh Heaven.”
A kind of like “Kara no Kyoukai / Garden of Sinner,” yet with some exotic elements, ahh, I know, that’s tropical style. Among palm trees, the wind is sweet and soft, the swaying sea is singing, the red setting sun is moving down, memories are emerging… ahh, everything is covered with dark gold…
Seventh Heaven.
I’m in felicity, no? Since I can listen to such music…
Raise my soul upward the seventh heaven! Gloria…

I appreciate for your high-quality album, thank you for your working!
—to Kajiura-sama, singers from Kalafina, and all staff, who have even yelled “come here and collect our ashes!”

あああああうきうきわくわくらんらんらん♪♪～
以上、梶浦由記様、およびこの私の「Seventh Heaven」への一言感想でございました。
「空の境界」っぽくて、またちょっぴり違っている異世界風があって、ああ、そうだ、実は熱帯風だ、あれが。椰子林の中で、柔らかく吹く甘い風、ゆらりと歌う海、少しずつ沈んでゆく真っ赤な夕日、浮かび上がる想い出…ああ、すべてが暗く金色に染まられている…
Seventh Heaven。
やっば、幸せだなぁ、こんな音楽を聴くことができる私が…
この身を、第七天に昇らせたまえ。グロリア…

こんなに高完成度なアルバムありがとう、ご苦労様でした！
――「骨を拾ってくれ」と叫ぶほどになる梶浦様、Kalafinaの歌姫ズ、およびスタッフ全員へ。

01.overture
The familiar main melody from “Kara no Kyoukai / Garden of Sinner.”
Silently, softly, here one new phrase of Kajiura’s epic begins.

02.oblivious
Loving the repeated soaring background chorus! Loving the melody and rhythm! Loving the sound effects! My Kara-theme-song top 1!!
The first song by Kalafina, the first song of “Kara no Kyoukai.”
Loving WAKANA’s goddess-like tone, loving KEIKO’s harmonization.

03.love come down
KEIKO shows up! KEIKO will not only be a chorus singer! This is a fast tempo song, a bit loud, with a lot of exotic elements, make me exciting!
KEIKO’s tone is like a glossing black pearl, and HIKARU’s is like an opal, and WAKANA’s is like amber; such tones mix out a shining melody!
But, the last phrase is too short to satisfy me!

04.夏の林檎 / apple in summer
Exotic, exotic, still exotic! I love the flute, the drums, the guitar, the tempo, the arrangement, the melody, everything!
The melody sounds pleasant, a bit sad and nostalgic. Umm, that’s typical Kajiura’s style! And, it's my non-Kara-theme-song No. 2.
Maybe this song is the origin of the previous imagination of palm trees, etc…

05.fairytale
This is really a sad song, no matter from the melody or the lyrics; just like that in the PV: the silent forest, the obsolete building, the past memory, and the heart-tearing “sayonara (farewell)…” all make me can’t stop becoming depressing.
This is my Kara-theme-song No. 2! I’ve ever listened to this song repeatedly for not less than 40 times!

06.ARIA
The best part for me in the song may be the chorus. Slowly, HIKARU sings out the first tone. Emotions are like airy stars, you can see them, but your hands can’t reach for them. A piece of sorrowful ARIA.

07.また風が強くなった / again the wind turn to stronger
The cello makes out ominous phrases, the drums are strong all the time, the whole song is heavy, dark, strong, heart-beating, etc. I can’t find other word but that like them to describe this song. Here, we can catch KEIKO’s melody, which we can’t do in case of other songs clear; thus it may be one reason of why I love it, yet it’s a little noisy.

08.傷跡 / scar
After fairytale’s release, this song became my Kara-theme-song No. 3. The first impression of the song is the catchy melody. I also love the lyrics. Here, by the way, I have to mention that all KnK’s lyrics are very fit the original work! WAKANA × KEIKO! Loving the original two-member Kalafina!

09.serenato
I’m afraid I’ve been poisoned by this song. Here I declare: this is my non-Kara-theme-song top 1! I really love everything of the song, especially the exotic elements, the “unknown” plucking instrument, and the drum tempo. (However, firstly I saw the title “serenato,” I thought it should be an Italian opera-like song [laugh])

10.音楽 / music
Ha! Another fast tempo but worth-to-be-cherished song! Finally I thought, maybe KEIKO’s low tone is very good for such fast tempo songs, no? the chorus reminded me Kajiura’s chorus in “synchronicity” (laugh). For this song, the title, “music,” is not bad. Many different elements of music have been merged into the song, and the beating rhythm, I’ll never mind the even-a-bit-loud arrangement!

11.明日の景色 / tomorrow’s scenery
I confess, the very first impression when I heard the first phrase of the song was… ALI PROJECT?! OMG! How came? …… ok, in fact, this song is my non-Kara-theme-song No. 2 (yeah, I have double No. 2 songs). Still, WAKANA is the heroine here. And the later drums reminded me another track by Kajiura-sama, “M18” from KnK OST 5. The imagined scenery of it is “in the land of sea, under the moon.” And, when the flute slides out, it’s just like I see the rising sun. (Here I can hear Yuriko’s chorus very clear!)
……
Another addictive song……

12.sprinter
The first a few times when I listened to it, I didn’t pay more attentions on it. But later, I came to love it. The four singers’ quartet is very wonderful! One phrase falls, another rises; one melody ends, follows another. Drums here are even faster; loving the sprinting feeling in the song. I also love the singers’ performance in the PV!

13.君が光に変えて行く / you turn it to light
The melody is slow and kind of vast. I have no idea why I can’t very like this song (maybe because it’s too slow and peaceful), but some phrases are rather emotional and beautiful.

14.seventh heaven
The final song of “Kara no Kyoukai,” also the final song of the album. Introduced by the main melody, many previous fragments of lyrics and melody recapitulate here. The song is peaceful and gentle, sad yet pleasant. After the dark, here comes another bright dawn.
Its arrangement is in another typical Kajiura’s performance: with soft drums, strings and chorus overlap and stretch every phrase. I very love the last perfect and beautiful chord!

And then, the new music epic ends.

For following reasons, I’m dead…

Mozart’s opera “DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE (The Magic Flute),” with conductor Karajan and Berliner Philharmonic, released in 1980. Not a bad version. Though I don’t know much on the art of conducting, I do love Karajan.
I’m learning German. There’re too many words need to be remembered. At the same time, I’ve got to fight on my poor English vocabulary. I’ve ever heard about a man forced his son to remember the novel “Faust,” even by rote. When the boy finished the rote, he had been fluent in German. Maybe it may help. So I found the libretto of “DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE,” and spent some hours to edit the text to be parallel the English translation. But, is it really helpful? I don’t like to learn by rote……

My glasses start to slide down……!!! It’s larger than my face!!! But it didn’t when I just bought it…! And now, I don’t want to get a new pair… since I only use it during watching to the computer screen, or waiting for the bus, I think I may still be lazy longer on getting a new pair.

GENES IX. OMG, my poor reading speed. If I spend 3 hours each day to read 15-20 pages, the time when I finish the book will be 2 months later…

I’m doing some translating of my goddess, Yuki Kajiura’s blog. I know to translate is a good way to improve the language skill. Fortunately, others understand my translation, though sometimes, I may miss some prepositions.
However, bigger mistakes occasionally happen:
How could I use wrong between these words “painter” and “painting”?

I failed to identify an online friend’s gender, until she showed her real name……
Also on that online forum, I’ve told one of my top secrets (that’s about my platonic love affair) to a guy who is 4 years younger than me, at the chat-room, on Valentine day…

The latest episode of my fiction has been worked for almost 2 months! It’s the episode that cost me the longest time… yet I’m still working on it, (I just don’t want to work on it…). What’s wrong? Maybe I’d better to re-write the fiction from the very beginning… then, I’ll decrease the proportion of yuri-like content… but I’m afraid I’ll never decrease them… since I’d glad to see so much yuri-like events in my fiction…… -___-|||

I bathed with a male tonight……! No, I didn’t invite him!! He came in on his own!!! I’m wondering why each time when I bathe, he comes. He should be in his intermittent hibernation! Oh, yeah, spring is coming… er, I’d better explain: he’s Namako, my pet turtle.

Recently, I listened to Vivaldi’s work “Concerto No 5 RV358 movement 3 – Allegro” for not less than 8 times each morning. And I just got the excellent CD: Pachelbel's Greatest Hit: The Ultimate Canon. The music is so beautiful, peaceful, holy, and unforgettable… so, after Vivaldi and Pachelbel, I’m dead.

I’m dead……

Inspired by the album “Love Song,” by Key+riya, which is released in 2005, I drew these pictures.

The Hill Where Everything Began – hajimari no saka
Firstly, I tried to draw a girl stooping to touch and pick the flowers, but, that’s too difficult for me, so I gave up. Then I thought up the hill from “Saikano”; maybe it’s good to get the feeling of awaiting some beloved one, so I sketched out the original version of this draw smoothly. In my draw, there is something which is kind of like “Ah, he comes at last!” during watching the time.

Indigo Dreams – ao no yume
I wanted to make out a storm scene, but I failed. How can I talk about storms? There even is sunshine! (・・?) Did I fail here? Well, at least the draw isn’t so bad, I suppose. In this song, ‘I’ am taking a long travel, for catching up with ‘you.’ Deriving from this topic, I drew this one with the central message of that ‘you’ are looking downward at ‘me,’ the person ‘you’ like, whose shadow is becoming smaller and smaller, in the endless and indigo sky.

The Stone Which Becomes A Star – hoshi naru ishi
Originally, I was thinking about such a scene: ‘you’ are sitting in a café, and seeing over the window, toward somewhere distant but spraying lights out. However, why did my draft become the current version even without my attention (・・? Maybe my draw is the end of this story. ‘You’ dug the stone out, and ‘I’ walked close to ‘you.’ Then, the stone floated up with much of light, together with our dreams, became a star in the high sky.

Running – hashiru
This song is my favorite. ♪♪～ But there’s something very weird: there’s not anyone is running in both the original booklet and my draw!? But, but, in my case, the leaves on the background ARE dancing and running! As well as her hair! Maybe I wanted to express that everything is dancing with the wind here. You see, the tempos of scampering wind and running people have the same (really?).

Hundreds of Summers – hyakunen no natsu
This song is kind of like an image song for “Air”! It’s a beautiful song. But since its tempo is a bit slow, I spent much longer time on designing my draw. Then I noticed “sunflower” in the lyrics. Oh, yes! It’s the sunflower! Thus I drew this picture. And I believe this picture can match the song well.

Our Love – bokura no koi
I love this song, love the piano, and love the sound of sea. To match the song’s ambience, I chose a picture of sea as the background. By the way, I made the horizon line inclined, which means ‘our’ unachievable love; even ‘I’ still can’t to love someone, ‘I’ came to fall in love with ‘you,’ kind of heaviness of that. So, no matter how long time goes away, ‘I’ will never forget your smile when we were together, drawing our sea.

Gray Feathers – haiiro no hane
There’s one song of “Air,” and now it turns to “Haibane Renmei”? Anyhow, I don’t like this song very much. Maybe that’s because the melody is too quiet? But thus my pencil went more freely here. Regardless of my own favor to this song, I couldn’t miss the chance to be forced to adding a pair of gray wings. I also got a “colder” picture for its background. I myself also feel cold when I look at this draw…

Gramophone – guramofon
This was the first time I heard such a gentle song (really!). By the way, the song reminds me about “Kino’s Travel,” but why… a sad story flows out from the song. On that of design, I got her hand stretched out with gentleness, as if she’s touching something. That must be her beloved gramophone. And this scene in the twilight must have been their last memory.

Myth – shinwa
I don’t have much fond of this song, but I love the lyrics! Because it’s a song about a myth, I used the gothic style on the clothing. Yet it’s kind of simple gothic style… so, I chose a splendid cosmic picture as the background. Moreover, her calm face, white arms, and a small planet… they are all the girl’s myth, an endless story which has been the myth.

Ice Clock – koori tokei
The tempo and lyrics are good! I like this song. But, I think, there may be only one point in my draw can be linked to the song’s ambience. (・_・ That’s the ice clock that is floating in the air (ok, here I confess that it was Photoshop drew the clock for me). Of course, I have to get a winter picture as the background, but this background gets me to think up “KANON”… (though “KANON” is also one of Key’s works…)

Unbreakable Wings – orenai tsubasa
The melody isn’t anywhere good, but the arrangement of percussion instruments is very excellent! I also like my draw for this song! However, there’s only one pity: I think my draw isn’t linked tightly to the original song… In fact, I attempted to get something on the like storm or universe, but, the one I completed has such a brilliant sky! Ahaha…

Then the Story Ends – soshite monogatari ga owaru
The melody isn’t my favorite type… but I do love the lyrics. Especially the part I’ve embedded into the picture, as well as riya’s repeated part: “aishita, aishita, aishita…” Also, this was my first trying on drawing the lateral side, so I’ve paid enough attention. Well, why in Miko’s style? It’s my own fondness, don’t mind. About the background, I wanted to match the slow melody, so I chose this one with the shinning twilight. How about it?

Love Song
A song that is like the first song, I love it! ♪♪～ If you ask for why I drew an umbrella? I think, it’s maybe because the harmonizing of an electronic-piano (or no?) on the background sounds like the rain. Since I’ve made her to hold an umbrella, I’ve got to choose a background picture includes rain or something like that. Eventually, I got this hydrangea one. But, yet I think the hydrangea is a bit unmatched for her clothes… kind of unseasonableness…

…
The idea to draw for the album “Love Song” began from July in the last year. That time, I was very busy on many issues, so I just scratched out some drafts and never got them into real digital pictures. However, that is very fortunate for me. After the first drafts, I also did much re-drawing. Well, I see, about times at least. Not only about characters’ poses, but also that to cast them for the 13 songs; that was really not easy. The one I changed for most times is “indigo dreams (ao no yume).” Besides, I also concerned a little about my own story when I did the casting. However, I may not say more about my own stuff here.
Since finally, I finished my “Love Song,” eventually, I completed my “Love Song.” Cheer up, cheer up. ♪♪～

2005年夏発売になったKey+riyaのアルバム「Love Song」から霊感を与えられ、私はこの絵たちを出来上がった。

始まりの坂
そもそもキャラが身をかがめ、花や草を触れたり摘んだりするのを描きたかったが、なんだか面倒くさくて諦めちゃった。ふと「最彼」のあの坂を思い出し、好きな人を待ってる様子がいいかもと思ってそのまま草案を出来た、自然に。私の絵は、彼女が手を上げ腕と計を見ようとするとき、待つ人がやっと来るとき「あっ、来た来た」というようなわくわく雰囲気だと見られるかもね。

蒼の夢
確かに、嵐が起こってるような雰囲気をしたかったが、完成した際に見ると、嵐どころか陽射しさえもあった絵になった(・・?)。しっぱい？でも、とりあえずまだまだそんなに悪くないとも思う。歌の中に、キミを追っても追ってもボクは諦めずに旅をする。この主題を得て、私は広く青い空の中に、小さくなる好きになった「ボク」を、見続けてる「キミ」を中心に描いた。

星なる石
原案は「キミ」がひとり喫茶店のなか窓越して遥かに光ってるどこかを眺める様子だった。けど、途中に今のような草案を自然になったのは何故(・・？私の絵はたぶん、物語の終わりかもしれない。「キミ」は石を掘り出して、「キミ」そばへ「ボク」は近づいて、そして、その石がピカピカに、空へ昇っていて、「ボクら」の夢をも一緒に連れていて、星一つになった。

走る
これが私の一番大好きな曲なんだよ♪♪～。でもへんね、原作ブックレットでも今度の私の絵も、キャラたちも走るのをしない！？でもでも、背景のほうが、葉っぱたちが確かに踊っていて走っているのよ！そして彼女の髪も服も。ここでたぶん私は、風と一緒に踊ろうという感じを表現したかったね。だって、速い風が走ることと同じリズムがあるから(ホント？)。

百年の夏
このうた、まるで「Air」のイメージソングみたい！きれいな一曲だね。でもテンポが遅くてデザインの時はちょっと時間掛かった。そして、歌詞の中に「ひまわり」を歌ったことがあるので、そうか、ひまわりだとすぐにこんな絵一枚出来た。なんかますます原作の雰囲気と合わせるようになった気がするわね。

僕らの恋
この歌が好き。背景のピアノがすき。海の声も好き。歌の内容を合わせるように、背景はとっくに海を選んだ。ちなみに、その歪んだ水平線は、ボクらのかなわない恋という意味が囲んだの。ボクはまだ人を愛することが出来ないのに、キミを好きになったその重さ。そして、幾年たっても、ボクらはいっしょにボクらの海を描くときに、キミの笑顔をも、忘れない。

灰色の羽根
さっきは『Air』、今度は『灰羽連盟』？ただ、なんてゆかこの歌をどうしても気になれないの。たぶん旋律がより平穏そうだわけ？私の筆ももっと自由になった。気になるにせよ気にならないにせよ、せっかくの『灰羽』関連ソングだから、キャラの背に灰羽を加えないとダメなんだ。そして、背景のほうもより冷っぽいのを選んだ。自分が見ても体が寒いと感じるわね～

グラモフォン
こんなに優しい歌を聞こえるのは、これが始めだった(ホントウです！)。ちなみにこのなんで歌を『キノの旅』を思わせたか…歌から流れ出すのは悲しい物語だった。デザインのほうが、彼女の手が何かをそっと触れてるように、伸び出した。あれはきっとその愛しいグラモフォンなんだ。そしてこの夕日の下のシーンもきっとそのふたりの最後の記憶だった。

神話
歌自身はあまり気にならないが、歌詞のほうが大好きなんだよ。神話だから、服装上私はとっくにゴスロリ風を使った。ちょっぴり地味なゴスロリのだった…から、背景はすごい華麗なる一つ宇宙の図を選んだ。また、キャラの静かな顔、真っ白な腕、または、一つ小さな星。みんな全部、少女の綴った神話、すでに永遠になった終わりのない物語。

氷時計
ノリがよくて、歌詞もよいし、この歌が好きなんだよん。ただし、私の絵が確かに、一つしかない関係あるなんだ(・_・…空に浮かんでるその氷時計のことだった(はいはい、白状する、この時計の原型はPhotoshopがやってくれたんだ)。背景は冬の図をつかむのが勿論のことで、ただその図はかなり『カノン』の雰囲気があるので…(そう言えば『カノン』もKey社の作品だね～)

折れない翼
旋律は普通だが、打楽器のアレンジが愛するっ！自分のこの絵も大好きなんだ。ただ、残念のことが一つだけ、これは、絵自身はなんとなく歌と関係なさそうてゆーこと。実に、この絵をそもそも嵐や宇宙の雰囲気をしたかったが、キャラを描いた後、今皆様のご覧になるごとく、ちょー晴れやかなる空のある背景の出番になった。アハハ…

そして物語が終わる
旋律は私の好みじゃない…でも、歌詞が大好きだよ。とっくに、絵の中に埋め込むその分、と、riyaさんの終わらないフレーズ、「愛した、愛した、愛した…」と…しかも、これが私の横顔への初体験だったから、大変用心に描いた。で、なんで巫女さんの姿？個人好みだから気にしないで。また、背景は、伸びるメロディーと合わすため、輝く夕映えの図を選んだ。どうかな～

Love Song
一曲目と似てる歌、大好き♪♪～。どうして傘や雨模様を出来たのかな、和声としての電子ピアノ（？）の音が雨粒と似てるのかもしれないね。キャラがすでに傘が持ってるので、背景を雨と関する図を使わなくちゃと、大変選んだあげく、紫陽花の図を取った。だけど、キャラの服と背景の紫陽花がちょっと季節外れのような気がする…

…
アルバム「Love Song」へなにかを描こうという発想は、昨年7月から始まった。その頃、大変忙しくて草案が草々に出来たがずっと本気にデジ絵にしなかった。でもこれもありがたいことだね。そのご、私の「Love Song」はまた幾たび描きなおされた。えっと、せめて4度かな。キャラの姿のみならず、13曲の歌ごと、どのキャラが主役にすればいいということにも大変考えた。一番変更の多いのは『蒼い夢』だった。なお、各キャラを決めるとき、少しとも自分の書いているストーリを参考した。でも、より深いもの、私のキャラたちのストーリがここにて漏らすこと出来ません。
ついに『Love Song』が完成された、どうしても『Love Song』を出来上がった。めでたしめでたし♪♪～
