Historical Account/Pop Culture: Oda Nobunaga x Mori Ranmaru
Supplement for my analysis on Kamenashi Kazuya's 1582 BTR concert performance on why the song is not from a woman's POV found here: http://spaarklingwine.livejournal.com/10534.html This was originally suppose to be included in the analysis but it was too long (like everything else I do (

OMG You're at it again XD

I think there's a correction here:

However, Nobunaga was so enamoured and attached to Ranmaru's look, and couldn't bear to see Ranmaru lose it, he personally hand-wrote a command, ordering Ranmaru to cut his hair.

I believe it's supposed to be ordering Ranmaru to NOT cut his hair? :3

Anyway, you're awesome and you know it. first?

[spaarklingwine]

LOLs

Thank you, I bet you know by now how I always have mistakes in my post (sigh) everytime I reread there is new mistakes (laughs)

Yes! First! And very fast! Haha~

(confetti)

Akame - I would like to be friended

[tmmyluong]

Hi, sparklingwine,

I started joining the akame fandom in 2006, when my first child was born. Following akame and kat-tun, in general, kept me sane during that time. I enjoyed and cherished their friendship when they were young. In a way, I wish I have that kind of relationship. Anyway, I keep track of akame and kat-tun on a daily basis, if I can.

Thanks,
Tammy

OMG, was that Chinese fic ever translated to English?!?
I want to read it! T_T

[spaarklingwine]

Argh sorry I checked just now for you, but I don't think so T^T

Argh, I'm so sorry, if I had the time, I'd translate it but it's really long (cries)

[aoisynchro]

THIS WAS WHAT i wanted to ask. :( I can probably ask my Chinese friends to translate it so can you give the link? :D

[spaarklingwine]

Sure^^!! That'd be great!!

That's the link

Just a word of warning to your Chinese friends, her style of writing is half modern day Chinese/archaic Chinese.

So there are some parts where the language may seem weird, but I'm sure your friends will have no trouble^^

(I liked the smex xDD;;)

[forbiden_past]

Ah..this again XDD Kame "1582" really make us know about Nobunaga-Ranmaru more^^ Thanks again^^

Btw, i can see why some ppl though Kame play as a woman in 1582 (especially when they don't know about Ranmaru) since it not the first time Kame like to implied things that he is "girly" or "girl" (even when some ppl said he is more many than Jin). He admit by himself once when Jin in hiatus, that he is like a wife

[spaarklingwine]

I can see it too, and I've updated the analysis saying that the album version of 1582 is fine if ppl want to say its from a woman's POV

But I think the new stuff I added about the Noh drama (dunno if you've seen it yet) pretty much proves that the BTR concert from from 1 person's POV and it's only Ranmaru's xDD;;

[jhisksan]

ahhhhh! You're at it again! You are making me fall in love with Oda and Ranmaru! And yes it is related to akame! Too bad in the samurai warriors game Ranmaru and Mitsuhide are the ones "linked" together.

[spaarklingwine]

Yeah, it's a shame T^T There should be more making out scenes IMO (laughs)

Haven't come across the idea of Ranmaru and Mitsuhide being good friends in Chinese history books though, but maybe it's cause I haven't looked hard enough...

But yeah, it was normal to fangirl over deceased samurais! But there is something about that bond they have that is so so Akame cute.

...xD;

[jhisksan]

fangirling over them means that there is hope for our akame dream. Yes making out would have been fun! well at least for us. The boys would just be traumatized.

[spaarklingwine]

I believe!!

Yeah the boys probably will be traumatised... When we unite as a giant fangirl force and hunt them down and make them kiss

xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[shinae183]

nobumaru seems okay....i think

but this extra addition really is interesting, short yet impressive...

[spaarklingwine]

Hahahaha you've been around me too long since we both think 3600 words is short xDDD;;

[shinae183]

guess after reading a really long post, 3600 words does seems a lot shorter....lol

and i did watch mirage of blaze, and ranmaru always appear on behalf of nobunaga....talk about bringing legend come to life. funny i didn't notice their chemistry before....

[spaarklingwine]

Hahaha~ well hopefully that will come to be a good thing in the face of RL? I dunno lol

I'm told that most of the chemistry is in the novels. Which is very common. Like in Kyou Kara Maou, the BL moments are WAY more obvious in the novel and a lot more fleeting in the anime.
