WEEK 11 || air ; provided bases ; "sakura drops"
Omg, I totally forgot to post this. -_-
General: Air
(Current Count: 0)
Now, I'm going to have to put a slight restriction on this one. The theme of "air" must be CLEARLY visible, whether it is airbending, VISIBLE breathing, lack of air, whatever. This is just to prevent any ideas of submitting any icon and saying "Oh, but there's air around them!" ;D So here's a chance to really show off your creativity!

Much like clamp_visual, this week, I'm going to provide you with three pre-cropped, pre-resized bases. Let's see exactly how creative you can be! Especially since I know some of the crops aren't the best ;)
As always, you may not use other caps, though textures, etc. are all welcome.
Lyrical: "Sakura Drops" by Utada Hikaru (download?)

I love this song :D Anyway, it's originally in Japanese, but I'm providing a translation, of course ^^
I once loved, then love was over
I swear, this will be my last heartbreak
Even the cherry blossoms in the wind sway
Soon they will blossom
Summer rain that began to fall
Passed by beside the tears, quietly
The images overlapped with memories
A rerun of the autumn drama
Why is it always the same kind of punches
That I receive all the time
Even so I will fight again
That is a mystery of life
I once loved, and devoted everything
I hope, this will be my last heartbreak
Even the cherry blossoms in time sway
Soon they will blossom
In the seasons repeated over and over
Shoes are wearing out
Loosen up your shoulders more
Keep the past somewhere
It will not be that far away from here
The scenery that I have never seen
I'm getting over the endless pain of my heart
I want to be closer to you
Going around and coming back
I feel my way around the blue sky
I once loved, then love was over
I swear, may today be the first good day
Until the cherry blossoms in the wind sway
and quietly reach out for you
I love you, I can't stop loving you
That has nothing to do with this
