Memorable Composer ♡

Hi dearies

today I'd like to introduce you my favorite composer. I've got a lot of soundtrack and there are some composer I like most because they always do a good job. Music inspires me a lot, especially instrumental music since it has so many different facets. When I was in my early teens I used to write a lot of stories while listening to the music best suited for the mood I wanted to express which made writing it down a lot easier.

1. Yuki Kajiura

is a Japanese composer and music producer. She was in charge for the music used in several popular anime for example the Kara no Kyoukai movies, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Tsubasa Chronicle, Aqquarian Age or Madlax. She also assisted Toshihiko Sahashi for the Gundam Seed/ Destiny works and formed 2007 the great band Kalafina ♡ (absolutely my favourite band).

Kajiura spend her childhood in Germany but returned to Japan as she went to college there.

My personal opinion is the Kara no Kyoukai movies were definitely her best project and I never get tired of listening to these 7 soundtracks.

The first album 'Seventh Heaven' from Kalafina is also based on these movies since they provided the vocals for the music.

2. Hiroyuki Sawano

is a japanese composer and musician best known for his work on many anime (Soul Link, Ao no Exorcist, Guilty Crown) but also TV series, and movies.

He started playing the piano when he was in elementary school and began to study composition at 17.

Even though I was highly disappointed in Guilty Crown but the music is sooo~ awesome because Sawano likes to use not only instruments but also electric sounds and that makes a great match. He also worked together with Mika Kobayashi who lend her voice to songs like 'Me & Creed' or 'βίος'.

There is still someone missing and of course it can't be no other than

3. Joe Hisaishi

is a composer and director known for over 100 film scores and solo albums. His real name is Mamoru Fujisawa. I guess there is nothing more to say since a lot of you should know the Studio Ghibli Movies.

Ship ahoy!

Hi dearies

The weekend went by really fast and now I need a vacation from it because I didn't get any time out these 2 two days. On saturday I went to IKEA to buy the furniture for my little apartment near the school I'll go to in September. It took 6h and I was dead tired after the shopping.

Yesterday was the monthly meet-up with my Lolita girls and this time we decided to ride a ship on the Neckar. The weather was quite nice for wearing Lolita since it wasn't too hot but the ride wasn't what we were expecting because they played some folk music and you couldn't even hear your own words. Also the food wasn't good either and expensive as well.

 Anyway we still had a good time since the group was really fun to be with.

After we were standing on ground again, we thought about eating some ice cream while sitting outside. There we met some nice people from south america who were very interested in our fashion  so they took a few pictures of us.
Even though the meet-up was a little different than what we imagined we still had a really good time together and lots of fun as you can see here:

on the ship

these 3 are called 'idiot-lolitas' :D

thanks again to the girls <3

It's all about music, isn't it?!

Ok, all I want from you right now is to listen to that beautifuuuul song:

The composer behind this is Jun Maeda, popular for Soundtracks of Anime from Key Studio like Air, Kanon and Clannad. I've always been in love with his work and this time Nagi Yanagi (former Supercell singer) joined him and together they made a nice Album '終わりの惑星のLove Song'.

Todays Recommendation: Valshe

Hello dearies

today I want to recommend you an in my eyes awesome J-Pop singer. Her name is Valshe and she is well-known for her lower range and distinctive husky voice. Actually, at first I wasn't quite sure which gender the voice belonged to but I like that most about her voice cause it's very special and you can recognize her immediately. Since the start of her career she did 2 short and one full-length album. The short albums are 'valuable sheaves' and 'storyteller', the full-length one is called 'Play the Joker' and was released at the end of February this year. I looooove~ it and had been listening to it all day long on my playlist.




Until today nobody knows what she looks like since her cover always pictures a male character:

This video contains a sample of all the songs in the album. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do

I guess that's it for today. Until next time~

Beware of cutness~

I have to tell you I really really~ love cute things, especially from Japan. Today arrived my latest order from this shop so if you're also interested in those thingies, check it out because it's worth a visit.
I don't know why but cute stuff like pen, note pads or books always draw me in and I just can't leave them alone. Maybe that's why my wallet goes empty really fast after visiting those stores.

Well, this is what I got this time (the Hello Kitty tape was a give-away for my purchase).

The pen hast two white Rilakkuma on it surrounded by sweets like macaron and cakes. 

 This notice pad contains a lot of different printed pages, for example these:

 

and here are my long awaited stickers I used to decorate my new (used) notebook with. This is the result which I'm really happy about
