[翻訳] Dir en Grey - 空谷の跫音

[outori]

I bring another translation from ARCHE. This here is probably my most favourite song out of the whole album. It flows perfectly, which 濤声 also does, but... ah. Either way, after the 15th time of listening or so, I realized just how much that song is me. No wonder I love it

I know, I know, everything you say sounds veeeery familiar, haha. >< Sometimes I have such a romanticized vision of what I was like in my mid-teenage years and when I read the stuff I wrote then, it kind of brings me back to reality. XD But there's also stuff that I love reliving in my head by reading it! But I can also relate to "stopping to write when something big happens" - especially something BAD big. It would be a great help for later hard times to read through those times and see how you overcame them... but I guess during those times, I mostly can't bring myself to write about it because it's too hard? I don't know...

HAHA oh yeah, Miyavi looks very grown-up and "tame" now, doesn't he? XD I've been ignoring him for years, though he was one of my earlier J-Rock discoveries (actually a video of him was what made me pick up a guitar HAHA XS), but I also remembered him with his 1000 piercings and hair dyed in 100000 colours being a total weirdo and now... this. XD Now I need to check out eeeeverything I've missed these past few years... Not that I was a huge fan before, only knew a couple songs then as well ^^; But eh. New music. I need new music.

Ah, western metal. It's hard to find stuff that doesn't sound "genre-typical" :x Like, a lot of metalcore bands sound aaaaaaall the same. I've always like that about Japanese rock, that they don't seem to let themselves be molded into a certain genre. Sadly I think that's changing as well *cries* But there's so many good bands (again, I mostly know those that were popular in the mid-00s ^^;; Like Kagerou and DéspairsRay and stuff XDD) that each have a sound all of their own, which is amazing!
But I think it's cool that you like lots of different genres X3 I wonder how people manage to listen to "only metal" or only one other genre when there's sooooo much out there! X3

Ah, the thing about cults you're saying is true though, I guess. Depending on how intense the fandom is. XDD

Hm, it's not that I don't trust my bf's taste in general. I trust his movie/tv series taste a lot (before I met him I wasn't much into movies AT ALL :P He got me into so much stuff, haha... though he does have his obsessions which I can't share AT ALL as well, like old Japanese monster movies, Godzilla etc. XDDD), but his music taste isn't always up my alley. It's not like we're so horribly different, there's a lot of things we both like, but when it comes to what we're HUGE FANS of, we are different, I think. (Thankfully I can still drag him to pretty much any concert I wanna go to XP)

Aaaaanyway. I should try Neil Gaiman. I really really should. I've got so many books to read though, like... three and a half Game of Thrones books, all three His Dark Materials books, the third part of Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 (you know Murakami? I swear the man can't write anything I don't like...)

Haha yeeeeeeeeeees The Doctor's Wife!!! Such a sweet episode ♥ Dark, of course. But sweet. ♥ The idea was brilliant and I'm glad he was the one who got to write it!

Hehehe okay, lemme see what I can do. X) I'll probably be slow though, so if you don't get anything within a few days time, remind me...

I used to have soooo many buttons on my old bag... well, not THAT many, but quite a few. XD I went through some old photographs from a class trip to Prague years ago the other day and there was a picture of my bag because I bought a few buttons there... damn, I miss that. But I dunno where to find any, except online and I find ordering online a bit annoying. U___U I prefer buying stuff in a store most of the time... Like, actually touch the thing when I buy the thing... but maybe I'm just old-fashioned. XDD
