音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

今までずっと知らなかった、私はお酒に弱いってこと。
たったグラスいっぱいで、バイオ4やったらかならずアシュリーを撃ちそうになる(実際に試していなかったけど)500%の方向音痴になりそう、しかも飲んだのはアルコールの低いやつ。
まあいい、どうせあとは寝るだけ、大したことじゃありませんよ♪
以上、昨日あった一つのつまらない出来事でした。

↑ I just wanted to say, the worst thing occurred recently: for some reason I got a strong desire to listen to FJY, but their songs (and all other Yuki related stuff) have been moved to my external hard drive, not on my LipAura right now. ∑(ﾟДﾟ)

Speaking of idea or inspiration, in my case, most were triggered by this or that great music pieces. A few years ago, my mind was sometimes activated by Noriko Mitose's "Yorlga". I indeed made some drawings, but its second track "tama no fune" always bothered me to create something. That song was somehow way too "formless" to me, like binaria's "smalt", that I had completely no idea how to visualise my imagination. Every notes was flowing smoothly and connecting to each other seamlessly. If I were able to make animation clips, they could be the best BGM candidates, but as a static drawing, I can't capture even one single moment.

So "tama no fune" had got me stuck since its release, and just in last week, another idea suddenly flashed by that made me got up and fetch my pencil in the late night. This time, things seemed working -- I have the raw draft now! After a few modifications I might to push it into my workspace.
However, things are changing, always. Right in the next day, I realised Akiko got some new stuff in the end of last December. Perhaps due to that there's much less good music in the past year, I entirely forgot to follow M3 and Comiket for quite a while.

Here comes my point, Akiko's new Japanese traditional tune wiped out my yorlga mood. So my New Year's first wish turned to be a vocal version of Akiko's "Otoshimono". I'm specially fond of Akiko plus traditional tunes. With her fantastic condiment, such pieces are always so pretty and thus have a different taste compared to Noriko's retro-Taishou ambience.
→ Think thoroughly, I've visualised a few Akiko's traditional tunes so far: Akakakushi, Hiraitesanzen and Class::CIEL_NOSURGE;.

Although she used to be involved in similar conditions, she's not here this time. It's the beginning of a new year, for sure I'm obligated (?) to ask my blog girl!

Thanks this site for its beautiful and free and high quality patterns!

The motif, inspired by the track "otoshimono", was born from my first impression: Temari -- You can drop it, of course~♪

Side thoughts: initially how I gave birth to her was because I wanted to see someone with Ana-Copolla-ish hair, soft, basically straight and with a little curl. But apparently I still need to improve in this aspect (which means I should bring her up more frequently!).

At last, here I mainly focused on Akiko and her fantastic folk tunes, but I'm not saying my yorlga mood has gone. I'll keep it alive and it will be eventually back, although may not be very soon (I realised my "Perfect pitch -Cello Part-" is still sleeping on my hard disk!).

It's finally the day. Time to release my RAM in 2014 and get prepared for the coming third impact. (・ω・`)

January
Classical (Mozart's operas) and horror (Silent Hill) initialised this year, with a little mysterious (Detective Conan) and some fantasy (my girls!).

February
Don Giovanni Fest continues. I never ever imaged I could listen to the same opera for over 20 times (different versions though).

March
I encountered with the top 1 song in this year: Class::CIEL_NOSURGE; by Akiko Shikata. Due to the strong impression left by it, other songs in the same release got poorly neglected.

April
I indeed met some nice people, and we played a human's skeleton as a toy!

May
First serious challenge to draw a background. Lots of things to be improved, but it was a fun experience.

June
"3 Happy Weeks in June" ← sorry I simply borrowed the title of a past post with no modification.

July
The most shocking news from KOKIA... NO, I DON'T WANT TO MENTION IT AGAIN! (´д⊂)‥ But I still don't understand why people say June Bride is the most beautiful.

August
During my trial I fell in love with "The Dumky Trio". A big confession: I also did lots of Ar Tonelico during the whole month! (；´∀｀)

September
Although being a few years late, Steins;Gate became the best anime so far, and Makise Kurisu became the only tsundere I'd love. However I can't recall how I came to watch it any more.

October
First got traumatised by hunters, then got depressed by Silent Hill 4.

November
My daughter followed KOKIA's steps. (just want to state that the preparation started in July.)

December
In NEET mode. I did Shadow Hearts II, Biohazard veronica, 4 and 5 in a row~

以上、西暦2014の忘年ポストでした。あなたにはくだらないことばかりかもしれないけど…
そして、2015の始まりの日に、
あけましておめでとうございまーす！

Biohazard 4+ aren't horror games -- regardless I still love them.
But, I'm always thinking, is it really okay let us below average players control those super heroes like Leon or Chris?

↓ I'm sorry Leon! (；´∀｀)

The fact is, I'm so bad at those pop-up commands during a cutscene. I just wanted to focus on watching the high quality 3D movies! Especially in bio5, such commands were so small. Who could catch up everything while aiming at a boss? ~_~

Bio4 indeed had more fun in terms of 1) the mishearing →う◯こだ捨てろう！！ｗｗｗ, 2) Leon's sense of humour, 3) Ada (both her parts in the main story and extra contents) was so cool, 4) this moment (bio5 has a similar scene, but lacks an overview shot):

and 5) the weapon merchant. :3

Plus, as of the gaming system, the AI in bio5 was too stupid, the commands flashed too quick and tricky, there's no the classical typewriter so players can save and resume freely, the item slot was hard to get used to, and I'd prefer a Chris with less muscle -- his "warrior" costume looks like a delinquent! ^^;.

However, the temple in bio5 was my top 1 stage, using arrow keys to switch weapons was convenient, and its extra contents were great as well. I loved the 3-years-ago stage much more than the main story. As a horror game, a mansion is definitely better than an open place in Africa. "Desperate Escape" was good too, which made me retrying again and again due to the chainsaw+Gatling+ax fest.
↓ It's the world-famous 「かゆいうま」!! I never thought I could see it again here!

Currently, I've done Bio1/2/3/Veronica/4/5, so can I call myself a veteran in this series (although I fail a lot)? (´・ω・`)

↓ A list of bio's favourites I've noticed. No special point of mentioning it, just for fun.

• crank
• pushing various objects
• helicopter crash
• countdown battle/escape
• jump scare made by glass break + huge sound
• an invincible final boss + rocket launcher (or other ultimate weapons)'s finish blow

Finally, one more thing,
"Shotgun is MAI WAIFU!! ♥"
