Current mood: So stressed out I wanna cry. ;___; Music Playlist: = Miracles May - Kanoko Ito [Violin version] (OST "Sweet Pool")
===========================================
Ohai, people! :D
For those who are in my FB friends list and following me on Twitter, you do know that I'm currently having a bad case of cough and runny nose as well as my final exams. ;w;
HOWEVER, in midst of finals, I found the violin version of "Sweet Pool" 's "Miracles May", so right after my first paper, I went back home, and voila! A new video~ XD (lolwhutisdisIdonteven)
It is actually the week of my final exams right now, but I decided to take some time off because I really really wanted to record the cover for this song.
This song is called "Miracles May", originally sung by Kanoko Ito for the BL game by Nitro+Chiral, "Sweet Pool". The lyrics of the song touches my heart whenever I listen to it, and for some reason, I can't help but crying whenever I listen to it :___;
I had a strong urge to sing this song so badly right after I found the violin version of the song (in which I've used it to cover this song), and I've always wanted to sing this song since I first listened to it, like, 3 years back. Now that I've got the chance, I've got no regrets! :)
Just so you know, I'm currently having a bad case of sore throat and runny nose. ;___; and I sang this song while having all these illness. Guess I overworked myself on studies. OTL
Another reason why I've thought of making a song cover for this is because I'm attempting to launch the "Sweet Pool" game I've downloaded months ago. Until today, I have no clue how to launch it. ;__; I've seek help from a lot of my friends, but none of their advise helped me much. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please do comment below!! Much help is appreciated, thank you! :D

Current mood: Feeling a little sleepier now, but priorities!! They are important too!!! QuQ Music Playlist: = Northern Cross - May'n = Obelisk - May'n = Diamond Crevasse - May'n
===========================================
Ohai, peeps! :D
I actually planned to put up this post last night, but I didn't managed to do that because I was so sleepy and I had other work to do as well. ;w; but here it is nevertheless. XD
Okay, so as mentioned in the previous post, this post is dedicated specially to Japan's darling anisong diva, May'n!!!
I fell in love with her voice ever since I listened to her songs for Macross Frontier (I actually listened to them wayyyyy before I began watching Macross Frontier) and now, I just love her even more with every of her song released.
It had been such an honor to be able to watch her perform live in front of my very eyes!! ;w; moreover, I had a very memorable experience regarding this that I will show you guys in a bit!! :D
So let's move on to pictures, shall we? :3
Credits will be stated if picture is taken from another source. XD
=======================================
So, upon entering the Carnival area (at about 12.20pm I think?) I decided to stay near the stage where May'n was to be performing. I stayed there for the next half an hour plus for the sake of watching her live and also to make my ultimate dream come true. ;v;
The picture shown on the screen while waiting for May'n to come on stage :D
At 1pm sharp, May'n appeared on stage and began her electrifying performance! I just HAD to record it because after she's gone back to Japan, this will be my one and only thing that will remind me of the great time I had, watching my favorite Japanese singer singing on the stage in front of my very eyes. ;w;
Here's the video of her performance and interview that I recorded. :)
(video description highlight)
In case you were wondering why I stopped recording halfway, it was because I was given the chance to answer a question asked by May'n herself (yea, the emcee was actually referring "the first girl in the front" as me), and I walked away as the winner!!! QuQ
The sound also sounded not quite good because where I stood was just beside the speakers.
May'n has always been a great musical inspiration to me. To be able to meet her under such a circumstance, I feel honored and blessed. ;w;
My face being focused on the screen by the camera. My eyes looks like they're closed here, but I'm actually looking down at one of the cameras. Didn't know where to look, so many cameras @@
After I got down from the stage, I ran all the way to the second floor to look for Hanatsu and Michiru. I hugged them tight and nearly started crying QuQ
From here on, I'll share with you the contents of the prize given by May'n! :)
Before that, I shall tell you the experience of how I felt before and after winning the prize.
The question that I answered to was: "May'n was the singing voice to which character in the anime series, 'Macross Frontier'?"
You guys should already know that I'm a BIG FAN of "Macross Frontier", so it is technically impossible for me not to know the name of the character. I was literally racing to raise my hands to answer the question, and I guess I was lucky coz I was already desperately raising my hands before May'n even finished asking her question, and also because the emcee picked from the side where I was standing. (not sure how fast I raised my hand, but...well...yea |D)
When the emcee told me to answer the question, I literally screamed "SHERYL NOME!!!! 8D" and May'n actually laughed XD (I don't know because she was happy or because she thinks I was silly...;w;)
While waiting for the rest of the questions to be answered by other lucky winners, I was standing at the side of the stage there, smiling broadly to myself like an idiot (YES, like an idiot). -w-
As what was described by the emcee, these prizes were brought in from Japan by May'n herself as a special gift for the lucky ones here in Malaysia. These items are the merchandises from May'n's special concert, "Mic-a-Mania Concert 2013" on 2 March 2013 in Budokan. What made these prizes even more worth while was that these merchandises were only available during the concert itself!!! QuQ
When I heard him describing that, I was like "OH MY GOSH, ARE YOU FOR REAL????" and I nearly burst into tears on stage. I can never forget the moment I stepped on the stage and shook hands with May'n as she gave the prizes to me. ;w;
SHE LOOKS SO ADORABLE UP CLOSE IN PERSON ASDFGHJKL
The biggest loot from an event in my entire 20 years of life. (and for many more years to come unless I get another bigger loot from another of my favorite singer/cosplayer/actor/mangaka/seiyuu/etc.)
the merchandise that was brought in by May'n was:
- A special edition muffler towel with the graphics of her concert's logo
(price: 2000 yen -approx RM66)
- special edition pamphlet (I'd rather call it a photo book because it has so many pretty photos of her in it) with her autograph in the inner cover page
I've missed out on my first chance to meet her during her concert tour here in Malaysia back in 2010. I was supposed to get the tickets to her concert, but the money I had was used to buy my Miku wig. ;w; sacrifices had to be made no matter what, and I cried after I've made the hard decision. I regretted real bad after that, but I prayed real hard that I'll be able to see her one day live in front of my eyes.
Then came 2013.
When Animax Asia officially announced the details of the Carnival earlier this year, I was excited to know that May'n will be the special guest. I decided that this will be my biggest chance and I cannot afford to lose it, even if it means sacrificing my time.
In the end, it was all worth it as I wasn't just able to watch her perform live, but I also got the chance to go on stage, shook her hands, receive a special prize from her after answering the question correctly and took a photo with her. ;w;
May'n had always been my idol ever since I got to know her from Macross Frontier, and she will forever be my idol for the years to come. For as long as she sings. :)
================================================
AAAAAAANNNDDD that concludes my experience of meeting May'n in Animax Carnival Malaysia 2013. Possibly the best experience I've had in my whole entire life. Though standing next to her and shaking her hand happened real quickly, but they are all something that I can never forget for my entire life.
My word of advice that I'd love to share to everyone:
If you admire someone very much and you have lost the chance to meet them the first time, never lose hope. For as long as you believe that you will meet them one day, you WILL meet them as long as you never stop trying. :D
Okay, so time to go back to reality and focus on my priorities.
I'll try my very best to update you guys on other events or occasions as well as my life, as frequently as I can, ya?
Current mood: neutral. Pretty tired from today's working hours, but I'm determined to finish up all my piled up work load. ;w; Music Playlist: = Kimi Shinitamou Koto Nakare - May'n = Lion - May'n feat. Megumi Nakajima = Diamond Crevasse ~ thank you, Frontier~ - May'n = Pink Monsoon - May'n
======================================
Hello, everyone!! :)
I've decided to update this post as soon as I can before I become busier with other stuff and end up not updating on it. ;w;
This post might be a little shorter than I usually do, so please bear with me, yea?
I'll be doing two posts for my report on Animax Carnival day 1: one focusing on the entire carnival (cosplayers and others) and another one focusing on my experience up close and personal with Japanese superstar, May'n. :3
Here we go!! :)
==================================
The day started off with Hanatsu, Michiru and myself along with several other friends of Hanatsu getting lost in the middle of Bangsar area to find this little place called University Putra LRT station (or whatsoever it is called =w=) and wounded up ALMOST late for the Carnival.
We found our way eventually (after going around the same place for almost 3 times) and we reached the event venue at about 9.45a.m.
By the time we reached the venue, there was already a long queue x___x
We waited approximately 3 hours plus to FINALLY be able to gain access into the Carnival area. Within that 3 hours time span, I wandered off occasionally while the others waited in the line to hunt for cosplayers and also to meet up with my friends. :D didn't really camwhored much with everyone, actually took picture of others more. :D
I'll let the pictures tell the story as for now, so here they are!! :D
Some of the following pics are taken from my friends or other sources, but I will state the pic credits ^^
============================================
Early in the morning on the way to Sunway Pyramid :3
I look really tired, don't I? ;w;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where we are in line at 10.30a.m. SO HOT!!! x___x
Hanatsu and Yukino in our Fujoshi High School coats :D I wore my coat for identification purposes so that people who wants to look for me could identify me :D
and oh, Hanatsu's onii random photobomb at the back |D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is the line behind us about 10 minutes later.
AHAHAHAHAHA SO GLAD WE ARRIVED EARLIER!!! 8D /slapped
I FINALLY got the hot Jack Frost that I missed out on during Comic Fiesta last year!! :D I can't believe he did Jack Frost again for Animax Carnival WHHEEEEE~
Selca photo with dearie Spacechan!!! :D
Met her during Comic Fiesta 2012, but didn't manage to get a pic with her because she was busy and I was busy too ;w;
So to be able to take a pic with her finally, I feel so happy :'D I missed her so much and to finally be able to take some time to talk to her, I ish happeh QuQ
