Who's Sky chord? (English Translation)

"Don't leave me, Sky chord!" a young woman cries in her song. But who is Sky chord? Most probably the singer's loved one and as for Orihime - Ishida er, Ichigo. I wonder if Orihime wants to turn back the pendulum and win Ichigo (by the way February's not over yet). Who's your Sky chord? I do hope you don't have one.

Ichigo is making Orihime love him more because of his stance against Ulqiorra. I can't wait to see the Arrancar get pawned. Ichigo's getting all the main female characters in Bleach - girl hog. I'm kidding.

Initially my reaction was WHAAAAAT Sky chord? What kind of guy would want a pseudonym like that? I was surprised by the name but I liked the song the moment I heard it. It is now included in my favorite Bleach Soundtracks

Here's Sky chord Otona Ni Naru Kimi He unofficial English translation:

I can’t sing a song with a honest lyrics
because I always end up sugar coating the words
When someone as laid-back as me
realize he had something worth protecting?

Don’t leave me, Sky Chord,
You would’ve stayed here back then, yeah yeah…
I’ve lost you, Sky Chord,
It’s not anyone’s fault, but…

I know there are things more important to me
than becoming an adult.
But I’ll be growing up the whole time
I’m trying to figure out what they are.

You say we can’t stay like this forever?
I know.. so let’s take that first step.

Sky chord otona ni naru kimi he (acoustic)

The song is as beautiful as Orihime. I'm still Ichiruki though.

Somebody please kick Hiyori's rear. Yachiru is enough! I wonder what will happen if the two ever meet - the two of Soul Society's most spoiled rotten brats (too bad for Lurichiyo - she's a filler character."We are not happy!"LOL!). Most likely, they'll be best of friends and will tear up Seireitei. Kubo Forbid. Seriously. Both of them will dominate Shinigami Cup - imagine the horror among the other characters.

All these mushiness will disappear come next month but for now...

PAST REVISITED

Updates:

RGMA’s Big Time Balita mellowed at lot but the stereotyping still exists every Saturday when the character Bai is present. Very smart, RGMA VERY SMART!

It has been several days since I successfully kept my schedule. Of course, minor adjustments are still needed to be done as I have a tendency to overrun one activity in favor of another. I don’t want that to happen again save for important activities that need extra time.

I still haven’t found any suitable guitar version of Beethoven’s Pathétique. My busy schedule prevents me from scouting other video sites thoroughly.

I decided not to publish any journal tributes to my mother as it is too personal. The most important thing is she knows that I love her.

Well, that’s it holders I have kept you updated with the happenings in our beloved blog. Stick around I have more interesting topics. To be published soon “Elections is the only permitted legal war”. What?

A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE

Ahhh...You know I’m always interested in listening to classical pieces outside their native instruments. For example, what it’s like hearing Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 or Beethoven’s Pathétique on guitar? However for purists, it is sacrilegious to do so but for me it isn’t, after all, it is still music. The treatment will be different of course but I like trying new things. Luckily, Youtube has provided me with one – Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 on guitar interpreted by Japanese power player Kazuhito Yamashita. (Unlike the piano, playing Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 on guitar is totally mice-free hehe.)

Liszt and Yamashita have something in common, here’s the observation:

Just as Franz Liszt created new repertoire and technique for the piano by transcribing Symphonies and Operas and then developing new techniques with which to play them, Kazuhito Yamashita took a similar path in the early 1980's and so revolutionised the world of possibilities on the guitar.

By transcribing well known pieces of orchestral music for solo guitar he has encouraged a trend which could make classical guitar much more appealing and accessible to concert programmers and the general concert going audience. Source

Please take time and listen to this genius at work – exhibited by his performance of Liszt’s rhapsody. Boy, it sounds fantastic and the guitar – I feel like it is going to sing in the manner Yamashita played it. Although, it is a totally different experience but it is a fine one indeed. Next piece, Beethoven’s Pathétique played on guitar I can’t wait to share it with you. Hopefully, I could find one.

Modern Guitar Manipulation

In the modern era, this is how they manipulate the guitar:

More Classical Music

Originally written on February 15, 2008

I’m starting to enjoy classical music esp. if it’s properly explained to me. It all started because of this Japanese dorama – Nodame Cantabile which is about classical music. I was so enamored I went to Youtube.com and searched for clips of classical music. (Before Nodame, I know one classical music artist Lang Lang. I saw him on a BBC documentary about classical pianists. His name means abnormal and mentally ill in the Hiligaynon language that’s why when some people ask me for some classical artist and I reply Lang Lang all I get is the bemused look and the mandatory giggle. No Lang Lang is not lang lang, he is Chinese phenom.) I chose Spanish guitar solos since I love that instrument. Ta-da!!! Right there and then names came up – almost all unfamiliar to me. I chose this EMU professor playing "Spanish Romance" – the guitar solo that I really love – but a comment cited the professor made at least three mistakes so I moved to other guitarists. One name stood out Jose Feliciano – probably the original GOD-GUITAR (the name given to the lead guitarist of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE)! He played Flight of the Bumble Bee with blinding hand speed that could embarrass Slash. However other than the Flight, he didn’t play other classical pieces. It doesn’t matter I’m still astonished by his talent despite the fact I probably saw Senor Feliciano’s clips several times already!!!

Spanish Romance - composed by an anonymous medieval Spanish guitarist became even more famous when it was featured in the French movie "Forbidden Games (Jeux Interdits)"
