The Kantō region (関東地方 Kantō-chihō) is a geographical area of Honshu, the largest island of Japan. The region includes the Greater Tokyo Area and encompasses seven prefectures: Gunma, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, and Kanagawa. Within its boundaries, slightly more than 45 percent of the land area is the Kantō Plain. The rest consists of the hills and mountains that form the land borders. In official census count on October 1, 2010 by the Japan Statistics Bureau, the population was 42,607,376 amounting to approximately one third of the total population of Japan.

In the Pokémon franchise, a region named after Kantō is the first geographical setting of both the anime and the game series (it was featured in Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and HeartGold and SoulSilver).

Day After Tomorrow - Starry Heavens


So, for the past months, I've been playing with someone dear to me when we see each other to Tales of Symphonia. Freaking great game for 2003.
I learned recently however that the original opening lost its vocals parts in the international version. What a surprise when I checked the Japanese one, it was indeed way more interesting than the pure instrumental one. I instantly fell in love with it.
Before winning, I hesitated with another entry that is quite iconic for Japanese, but in the end, I settled on this one as it's my PQ after all and I want it to be special.
So here you got the lovechild of all pots xheart​

Flop but I have no regret xo

:kant: turned out to be my more successful region with 2 participations in the GF through semi Q, 1 PQ because of my win (!) and a NQ that was actually not far from qualifying.
Thank you xheart
Which means now I can go back to flopping in style :whistle:

Now I'm leaving for Tohoku, and I really need to start planning my run a little more because only 2 entries are known​

1. A_o - Blue Souls

2. Kensuke Ushio - Buddy, Ryo

3. Hiroyuki Sawano ft. Cyua - Vogel im Käfig

4. Shiro Sagisu - Never Meant To Belong

5. buoy - tsukihi

As runner-up of the NF for WV 146 (long time ago already) Kensuke Ushio returns
with his energic synth-driven instrumental "Buddy Ryo". All other songs are debutants.
In addition we've got another instrumental, a beautiful duet,
an gorgeous ballad and an epic piece of a popular anime series.

VOTING
No points system. Just send me your Top 5 ranking,
I will calculate the average rank for all songs afterwards.
One more thing: I know how difficult it's sometimes to chose between two songs,
so if you can't decide between two songs you can once include a shared rank in the ranking.
Doesn't matter if it's two 1st places, two 2nd or two 5th places... whatever you want!

Looking forward to receive your votings xcheer

the times when people got hyped by NFs and voted like crazy is long gone :cry:

ofc Ive got some people in my mind who I think have good reasons to vote here, but I am not gonna mention users as I don't wanna be intrusive. I just hope some more people will discover this thread by chance and decide to listen to the songs ^__^

Just went to make some very last-minute votes here except (1) idk if you've submitted yet and (2) I can't decide on a ranking because I love all of the songs (and roughly equally at that). Sorry 'bout that!

Anyways, I might not be affecting the final votes, but allow me to say, whatever entry has won here it's a hot one. Looking forward to it xheat

:kant: WV 157: Junko Akimoto - Ai no mama de :kant:


kotoritachi wa nani wo sawagu no
amai kajitsu ga hoshii no desu ka
dare ka to kuraberu shiawase nante iranai
anata no shisen ga itoshiku areba
Little bird, why do you chatter?
Is it because you want the sweet fruits?
I don't want happiness that's compared to others
As long as you look at me with love
aa konoyo ni umare meguriau kiseki
subete no guuzen ga anata e to tsudzuku
sou ikiteru kagiri tokimeki wo nagekakete
ai ga ai no mama de owaru you ni
Ah, us meeting in this life is a miracle
Everything's a coincidence, following your path
Living will always make my heart beat
Loving like this, until the very end
sugita hibi wo kazaru koto yori
anata to ikiru korekara no kisetsu
ato kara kanjiru shiawase yori mo ima wa
ito hiku you na kuchidzuke shi mashou
Compared to our decorated days of the past
I'd rather live with you in present day
Compared to the happiness of now,
I'd rather kiss with all my love

aa ikiteru imi wo motometari shinai
tada anata no ai ni tsutsumare nagara
sou kyandoru no hi ga itsuka kieru toki made
ai ga ai no mama de tsudzuku you ni
Ah, don't search for the meaning of life
I want to be embraced by your love
Thus, until the candlelights burn away
Loving like and continuing on like this
aa konoyo ni umare meguriau kiseki
subete no guuzen ga anata e to tsudzuku
sou ikiteru kagiri tokimeki wo nagekakete
ai ga ai no mama de owaru you ni
Ah, us meeting in this life is a miracle
Everything's a coincidence, following your path
Living will always make my heart beat
Loving like this, until the very end

OFF-TOPIC

c5d41d74a1e9.jpg


This morning one of my Worldvision artists, the wonderful Julee Cruise, sadly passed away at an ridicolously low age of 65 years.

For some years she has suffered from a rare autoimmune disease called Lupus

I know and appreciate many female ethereal singers but up to this day, she is probably my favorite singer of this kind, one of the mothers of what i consider celestial and otherworldly music.

Julee Cruise got famous for her collaborations with Angelo Badalementi and David Lynch. One of my favorite pieces of her, Mysteries of Love, was featured in Lynchs Neo-Noir classic Blue Velvet

In WV 102 I sent her song Falling as my debut song for Northeastern USA which sadly missed the final and became my biggest WV disappointments until the day in which I flopped with Billie Eilish... I've always thought about doing justice to Julee by sending her a second time. Then again, there are other users here who love her too and can get her the well deserved justice one day (no pressure)

the instrumental version of Falling has become famous as the intro song of Twin Peaks, which has lately become my second favorite TV series ever so retrospectively my WV 102 entry got a more profound meaning to me than it had when I sent it.

Now I hope she will delight the gods with her airy and angelic voice xheart

This news today has broken my heart. When I think of artists whose works have shaped my life, Julee Cruise is right up there at the very top. David Lynch created a special world with Twin Peaks but I've always said that without Angelo Badalamenti's compositions and Julee Cruise's haunting, ethereal vocals, the show wouldn't be what it was. Julee Cruise was the cherry atop the perfect pie. One of the pioneers of dream pop. She paved the way for the many otherworldly artists who would come in the year's that followed the iconic work Julee did for Lynch.

This one has hit me really hard. She's at peace though now and no longer in pain. And I can't think of a lady with better music to be heard up in those puffy white clouds.

:kant: WV 161: Hiroyuki Sawano - Vogel im Käfig (bird in the cage) (Attack on Titan OST) :kant:


Lyrics​
German with abysmal pronounciationEnglish
Der innere Reichtum der Leute ist
Wie Licht bunt, durch Farbglas hereinzuscheinen
Das angenehme tägliche Leben ist
Wie ein warmes Kerzenlicht		The inner fortune of people is
Like colorful light, shining through colored glass
The pleasant everyday life is
Like a warm candlelight
Die sehr weite grüne Erde
Das reiche schöne Wasser
Die grandiose Natur sorgt immer noch für ihre Kinder		The very vast green plains
The rich, beautiful water
The grand nature still provides for its children
Hoffentlich können wir es irgendwann verstehen
Wir gehen zur anderen Seite des Horizontes
Hoffentlich können wir es irgendwann verstehen
Wir gehen festen Schrittes		Hopefully we’ll be able to understand it someday
We are walking to the other side of the horizon
Hopefully we’ll be able to understand it someday
We are walking firmly
Alles Lebendige stirbt eines Tages
Ob wir zum Sterben bereit sind oder nicht
Der Tag kommt sicher		Every living being dies someday
Whether we are ready to die or not
That day will surely come
Ist das der Engel, der vom dämmernden Himmel hinunter flog?
Ist das der Teufel, der aus der Felsenspalte heraus kroch?		Is that an angel, flying down from the twilight sky?
Is that the devil, crawling out of the crevice?
Tränen, Ärger, Mitleid, Grausamkeit
Frieden, Chaos, Glaube, Verrat
Wir werden gegen unser Schicksal ankämpfen
Wir dürfen uns nicht in unser Schicksal ergeben		Tears, anger, pity, cruelty
Peace, chaos, faith, betrayal
We will fight against our fate
We must not give in to our fate
Mit Trauer und Entscheidung im Herzen
Zeigen wir den Willen weiterzugehen
Niemand darf eigensinnig seines Lebens beraubt werden		With sorrow and confidence in our hearts
We show the will to move on
No one shall be willfully deprived of their life


xheat xbow

Snow Man - Bass Bon


16th (SF), 48 pts

It was clear from the get go that this song was a hot mess. I think I'm actually more fascinated by the MV than by music.

Next time we're going for a legendary anime opening that should have been sent ages ago. Yes @ZoboCamel I'm looking at you.​
