Innocent Bird BLCD rant, English today
I finished listening to the Innocent Bird drama CD 2 yesterday night before I slept... and God, it almost made me teary all over again T_T I knew what was going to happen, but somehow... the sorrow carried so well in the drama... especially because there was actually an insert song to it. It's quite unusual for a BL drama, actually, unless the characters sing as part of the plot. Yet, this isn't the case. The singer is not even one of the main casts.
After the miracle, after Shirasagi broke down, the song (track 6) -bittersweet slow piano piece accompanied by a cello and violin- played, as if to emphasize on his loss of a loved one. It's like a song you'd expect to hear to play for a "flashback of the good times" scene. Sure, it isn't hard since they compose bgm for BLCDs anyways, so what's another song? It's just that... how to say it... there is actually to be a sense of dedication in the decision to insert this song... the lyrics are consistent with many of the motifs in the series - 鳥, 夜明け, 十字架, 愛しい人, etc. Evidently a love song just for Karasu and Shirasagi... ♥ and I think it infinitely made the drama "not just another BL drama." My heart ached all over again for them.
...Okay, off with the sentimentality.
► ► I uploaded the drama if anyone wants: Disk1 | Disk2. (Nakata Jouji x Midorikawa Hikaru, Okiayu Ryoutarou x Suwabe Junichi, Miki Shinichirou) ^^ Enjoy? Covers all 3 volumes.
Anyhow, my ghost chapter for English got the A+ of the class~! ♥_♥ Let's frame it. And the professor read it outloud to the class too +_+ I haven't been placed on the pedestal like that since 3rd grade (but that doens't even count, since the teacher read every 3rd grader's work outloud anyways!). The class clapped too. OhIsowantedtojustburymyselfthen. Still, thank you Creative Writing class last semester~ I'm flattered...
Though, anyone want to explain to me what teachers mean whenever they say something effectively "creates an effective dominant impression"? Just like how English profs always criticize about my word choices that "impair" my writing, that statement never goes through my head and means nothing to me.
Anyhow, tomorrow I have to research what I want to do for Color & Design class's final project. Find two famous pieces and piece them together so that the composition and colors somehow "have dialogue"... whatever that means too. I'm d00med. Now, I must read In Cold Blood.
Oh yeah, my right knee for some reason has been cramping all day, movement or no movement. Hope it's nothing bad. Maybe it was just the way I slept.
