dreaming of the Osaka sun.

Jul 01, 2009 03:26

Just opened up the pocket of the little moleskine I carried around in Japan. Contained the following:

- San Francisco -> Osaka boarding pass stub
- all four Elisabeth ticket stubs
- ferris wheel ticket
- Osaka aquarium ticket
- Piconation ticket
- Tezuka museum ticket
- small ad for the international gay night we went to at that club
- email addresses from Haru and Sachiko
- a note Yuu-chan, our bartender, wrote trying to explain something she wants from a girl in a relationship, 一途. I think she meant stability?

brb sobbing and missing Japan immensely.

I meant to upload these two songs when I got back to Cali, but I forgot to.. but I want to share them. The first one I discovered a few weeks before our trip and knew it'd be my Leaving Japan song. The second was sent to me by palais with the instructions not to listen to it until after we'd left. They were the first two songs I listened to on the plane as we departed and became the weepiest weepers since weeps came to weepsville.

♥_____Lovers in Japan - Coldplay
tonight, maybe we're gonna run
dreaming of the Osaka sun
dreaming of when the morning comes.
>> it's a two-part song and obviously the first half is the one that most applies, but they're both beautiful. this song makes my heart ache.

♥_____Leaving You Behind - Herrmann & Klein
this train consists of eight cars
boarding locations are indicated by white circles
and numbers one through eight

大阪、大阪です。
>> this song has no lyrical vocals, and instead combines a gorgeous instrumental beat with.. Japanese train station announcements. Our Japanese train station announcements. They start at 0:31. These are the announcements we heard for our trains going in and out of Osaka every day. The beat begins picking up at 1:41, and while the rest of the announcements aren't familiar, it's still a really pretty, mellow song that made me sob like a weenie when I finally listened to it on the plane.

Give 'em a listen, hit Save Page As if you want to download them, maybe let me know if you do. ♥

Gah, alright. Enough being a weenie. Japan was an incredible part of my summer, but what I've got going on here is pretty wonderful too! The next several days are going to be so very good. Cannot wait to see so many beautiful bbs! ♥

Oh it is very late. Oh I have to get up early so I can get new sneakers, finish cleaning and get my ass over to mostflogged's to begin THE SMOOCHENING: DAY 0. ♥

mushy liz is mushy, japan, music, j09, friends
