The L'Arc 30-Day Challenge -- Day 9
~Come to the L'Arc side -- we have marshmallows.~
...Lol, sorry. Felt like randomly writing that in one of my posts. >.< I actually said that in class today, after someone kept saying, "come to the dark side -- we have cookies" during our debates.
...Erm, I can't really think of anything to write here X3 Alrighty, so day 9 of the challenge! :3

Day 8 - Something funny (pic, quote, video, etc.)
Well this shouldn't be too hard, considering a band as lulzy and adorkable as Laruku has a BUTT-TON of hilarious things to look at, read, watch, or listen to. One of the great many reasons why I freaking adore this band :D
Now, I promised myself I'd only pick one thing for this, as much as I'd love to go ahead and spam everyone with the funniest things I can find.
So! Since this whole month I've been in a very marshmallowy mood, I think I'm gonna go ahead and post this vid:
This is where it all started, my friends.
...Okay I lied, I can't just post ONE. I have to post another one of his MC vids...so I'm gonna post the one he did over at MSG, not only because it's funny, but because ken is sooo damn ador(k)able when he speaks English. Or should I say Kengrish XD
...okay, I'm done ^-^
Day 9 - Your favorite lyric
Oh, but there a lot of lyrics that are my favorite...man, I hate having to pick just one of them...
...what does it mean when it says for "your favorite lyric" anyway? Does it have to be only one line? Or can it like be a whole chorus? They really need to be more specific with their questions. Or are they doing this on purpose, so that we're allowed to interpret it however we want? :o
Well then, if so I would like to go with the latter, so I'm going to post this as the answer:
Furi sosogu komorebi no youni kimi wo tsutsumu
Sore wa boku no tsuyoku kawaranu chikai
Yume nara yume no mamade kamawanai
Aisuru kagayaki ni afure asue mukau yorokobi wa
Shinjitsu dakara
English translation (normally I would translate this in my own words, but I'm too tired right now :P):
I will hold you like the rain of sunbeams streaming through the leaves
That is my vow to you, it will never change.
If this is just a dream, then let it be a dream. I don't care.
I will face the loving radiance of tomorrow
Because I believe in happiness.
But if it's supposed to be the former, then I'll go with the last part, the sentence "I will face the loving radiance of tomorrow because I believe in happiness". This sentence describes my way of life exactly--always having hope for a better tomorrow. This whole song really is lovely, one of my top favorites for sure. Sigh, it's just so beautiful...
Ya know, I sang this song to my English professor the other day (who coincidentally is Japanese --but doesn't even know who L'Arc even is! Can you believe that? 80) and she thought this song was absolutely amazing and touching and beautiful. She also commented that I sing in Japanese really well, which makes me feel relieved because I was worried that I sounded horrible to her. You always feel more self-conscious about singing in a different language when it's the audience's first language. So yay for ego boost! :D
I just hope it'll be good enough for L'Arc...
