Weiß kreuz day

It has finally been more than 8 years.

One look at my MSN messenger's personal message and you would see "(name of song) - Weiß kreuz" for the whole day today. Yup, that's right. I haven't forgotten what I had said last year. Today is Weiß kreuz day for me.


 Generation 1
(Appears on Weiß kreuz Kapital)
 
Despite the fact that they are anime, Weiß kreuz is a real music band consists of Koyasu Takehito, Miki Shinichiro, Yuuki Hiro and Seki Tomokazu.
 
Starting from left: Koyasu Takehito (as Fujimuya) , Yuuki Hiro (as Omi), Tomokazu Seki (as Ken), Miki Shinichiro (as Youji)
PS: For some reason Miki looks weird. =P

Together with this four voice actors, they made a superb team as:
Koyasu Takehito has a deep and sexy voice;
Yuuki Hiro has the cutest voice eventhough he is the oldest among the team;
Tomokazu Seki has the ability to change to more than 5 types of voice which is hard to recognise; and
Miki Shinichiro has a very manly voice.

 
 Generation 2
(Appears on Weiß kreuz Gluhen)

Almost in every popular anime you could find at least one of their voice: Initial D, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gravitation and so on. They have been one of the most popular and famous voice actor in the anime industry and they even have their own solo albums!

It all started with a small little story idea of Koyasu Takehito. In order to fulfill his ambition, he looked for his friends and hosted Project Weiß as a CD drama, which was broadcasted all over Japan's radio. Soon it was realised into manga and finally into an anime. If Koyasu Takehito had not taken the first step into fulfilling his ambition, Weiß kreuz would not have existed in the first place.

 
Generation 3
(Appears on Weiß kreuz side B)

Remembering what I had said last year, I left my laptop to play Weiß kreuz's songs the whole day, even when I'm in college. I upload all their songs into my iPod and listen to them even during my college lessons! While I was driving, I would play their CD "Die Bleibende Erinnerung" to let me rememver the good old days I had when I first started listening to their songs. For the whole 24 hours today, Weiß kreuz's songs will be played all over my surrounding.

If someone would to ask me have my love for Weiß decrease, I would shake my head and said "I will, and always will, love Weiß kreuz. With each passing time my love for them would only grow."

Again,
Weiß kreuz FOREVER!


Nevertheless today's Weiß kreuz day for me is a success. Here's the english translation of one of their songs to commerate this wonderful day for this dedicated post to Weiß kreuz.

 
the worlds' flowers like a carpet of crimson red
as one scatter and toss through the air
sorrow and sadness are born there
from the darkness that streams underneath
ah, are hearts only meant to lie?
are people just puppets of fate?

only to embrace those we love
and protect those small and precious
today again some one shouts that out
sacrificing even their life
to smolder in the midst of time with that instant kiss

In this city stained with greed
there is only wind blowing towards the sky
that is left of trampled love
is the tear left in the palm of my hand
ah, were smiles only meant to sunder?
everyone has their wounded hearts

I want to protect those timid creatures
those who kneel in prayer
I'll even carve a cross in my chest
to believe in something unstoppable and the
irrepressible spirit now and forever

the cloud disperse the stars are seen
the wind stills the birds sing
the ocean shines the heavens thaw
the night ends I feel you

only to embrace those we love
and protect those small and precious
today again some one shouts that out
sacrificing even their life
to smolder in the midst of time with that instant kiss

I want to protect those timid creatures
those who kneel in prayer
I'll even carve a cross in my chest
to believe in something unstoppable and the
irrepressible spirit now and forever
 


Regards,
Ryou Takehito


PS: Sorry I won't be able to write my story tonight because I have a test tomorrow. But I'll be sure to continue it whenever I'm free!

It's 1.40 a.m. now and since I'm so bored and listening to Weiss kreuz songs at the same time (Weiss kreuz songs always keep me awake throughout the night because their songs are fantastic that I want to keep listening to it!).

Anyways here's the photo that I promise to show it to everyone when I got it from the other members of AISEP. All these photos are taken by Marie, a very kawaii girl. ^^v

Gift Exchanges


That's all for the photos. Before ending this journal, I would like to say that I won't be posting about my personal life for the moment. If some of you have actually noticed my last entry "Conceived Sorrow", it means that I'm currently writing a new story using this journal. So you will see me posting parts of the story from now on until the end of the story. I will bring forward "Conceived Sorrow" two days later to commence the official posting of the story in my journal. This also means that I won't be posting anymore AISEP photos.

Looking back at all these AISEP photos, I would like to say that I'm glad I've created such splendid memories during my stay in Beijing eventhough it's only three days. Words can't really describe my feelings as I look over all these photos again and again. They're really nice people, REALLY! It has really been fun hanging out with everyone! I really enjoy myself alot! I'm really looking forward to see them again in the coming future if there is ever a chance!

Less but not least...

AISEP 4 EVER!

oops, wrong photo. Let's try it again.


AISEP FOREVER!!!




Regards,
Ryou Takehito


PS: Thanks for all the photos, Marie!
