音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

I'd first introduce my normal world: together with my broken mood, I finally got something for my blog banner.

I always wanted to have one but didn't know how I should do it.
Today, which as about one year after her birth, I decided to use her for the banner:

Pink harmony, matching with my blog's colour scheme.
-- It's another amazing thing that I didn't change the blog template for months! xD

Below, hidden message, which belongs to my otherworld. :3

I'm sane, yet I'm also broken -- I've been laughing for no reason for a whole day!
And I know it's all the fault of Corpse Party! °w°

Let me start from the very beginning.
I've finished (watching) Corpse Party 2 chapter yesterday. So far, that looks good, although definitely not the type I can actually play (if I want to protect my keyboard). But CP2 is more like a different type of horror. In other words, CP is like Silent Hill, and CP2 is like BioHazard -- you get it?

But it's not what I'm gonna talking about.
If you know Corpse Party, you must know the school name of the main characters: Kisaragi. In CP2, the school name of the main chars is "Minazuki", and the hospital is associated to an university with the name "Fumizuki".
YES, THESE NAMES WERE THE REASON THAT MADE ME BROKEN!! °_°

because...
Kisaragi = February
Minazuki = June
Fumizuki = July

Thus, I started to recall all the old names of months in Japanese.
Start from January, it should be: Mutsuki, Kisaragi, Yayoi, Uzuki, Satsuki, Minazuki, Fumizuki, Hazuki, Nagatsuki, Kannazuki... and the last is Shiwasu.
But what is November called?
This question bothered me for two days. -- It's so amazing that I didn't go to wikipedia. Probably I wanted to recall all of them by myself. And this morning, I was still thinking about it. For about 20 minutes, under the sunlight in the room, suddenly, a singer's name came into my head.

Shimotsuki Haruka.
.
.
.
SHIMOTSUKI!!!

At a moment, I felt like being shocked.
How could I forget her name, in which I got my nick?! I was supposed not to forget at least this one! °A°

Sorry, Haruka, I didn't mean to betray you!! (つд⊂)

Like yesterday's post, not only Silent Hill films, during this weekend, I've put myself into a 100% horror mode.
I mentioned Imai Asami's new single "Hoshikuzu no Ring" last week, and the reason was that one was "Corpse Party" related! But since I couldn't want to ruin the peaceful ambience of a regular post about new music releases, I'm gonna put those gross things in today's post.
Although I know I'm too late to introduce them as news, they are news to me!

New OVA on July 24 = day after tomorrow

↑ Asami's new song's short edition! Too short to enjoy, seriously.
Based on all PV's they have released, seems it's starting from the beginning, and will have new original story.
I'm wondering if there will be a conclusion at the end -- I don't mind they use CP-BS's chapter 8 as the end though.
Anyway, there are only two days till its release, hope I can see that soon~

The release of the OVA is the main reason for me to finish watching CP-BS at this weekend.
--I'm happy I could find a good playing video with a fun uploader.

Also, while I was searching for a good CP-BS video, I noticed some people uploaded their playing of Corpse Party 2.

... CP2? (゜-゜)

Then, after some more search, I realised I'm late again. Information of the new game was out long time ago.
PV's of the new game are cool, and there is a merged version of all three PV's they have so far.

I love the new BGMs so much! Hope this time they release the OST properly. Now, the OST for CP-BC is almost like phantom -- I can hardly obtain info of it and the current OST of the PSP game doesn't sound having all BGMs used in game. x_x

There is only Chapter 1 for CP2 so far, and probably I'll finish watching people playing it tomorrow (yes, watching, I'm not good at this type of game at all, I think I'm better with handling horror games like SH ^^;).
I also found people who know no Japanese playing it. But, wouldn't it be a pain, or you just play without reading the story? XDD

Anyway, as what I know about it so far, CP2's game system reminds me BioHazard 1&2. ==> zombies!
They said this game is extended from "Blood Drive", which is BS' last chapter. The time point in game is 5 years after the main story. Although we don't know much more about what's going on and I haven't actually started watching the game, in the opening...

Tell us what's going on! That's definitely our Ayumi (I'm so excited even though my No.1 character is our Mayu-jamchan :3)!
But who is the black-hair guy? Like the main male char in an eroge who always hides his face. lol
By the way, I like the SD-chars in game much more than their regular pictures. XD;

Official Page Here~
Looking forward more connection to CP's main story. Come on, get me excited~!

Just finished Silent Hill films this (last) afternoon.
What should I say? I really like the scenes of that tainted town, for both the normal world and the otherworld. However...

The stories are rubbish, making me irritated! :sqmuka:

Spoiler Alert :thunder:
In the following part, I'm gonna complain about these two films. I guess I'll have some netabare spoilers, so, if you won't wish to be spoiled, you can leave now.

First, I really dislike that they changed the main char for SH1 to a female (and I did read about why they made this decision). I'm not saying I don't like strong women, but as a big fan of the original game, I'm so familiar with Harry's running figure that I NEVER get this change. An ikemen & my-home-papa plus a kawaii little girl are always the best combination! :sqwah: Thanks to that, I don't understand why only the mother, instand of both of them, took Cheryl (and I really hate they changed her name in the film so I insist to use this name) to Silent Hill -- isn't the latter case normal? or at least they should give a better explanation!

Then, Cybil (is that the correct spelling?)... with the helmet she looks super cool, but without it... garhhhh, she got her hair overcut!! Also, on film, I feel like there is something wrong with her head. Isn't Silent Hill obviously irregular?! Yet she sees the mother's words as a joke, and asks a creature to "stop". In SH3, what the hell they got Vecent to be a teen?! I myself prefer the "gentleman" in the original game, with a small pair of glasses, and talking like a 19-century lofty lady and appearing everywhere like a cockroach. :sqhaa:

Guess Daliah is the most dramatic one -- Were the staff insane? Daliah's change irritated me even much more than the replacement of Harry. Moreover, I don't understand why they got such a character while the original Daliah in game was replaced by another lady whose name I don't know. The downgraded Daliah only lives as a remainder of the dark history, and I don't think the story will be affected no matter whether she exists! However, in SH3, Claudia's setting is fine, but her position isn't well described and is unclear expecially to first-time viewers. I don't like how she dies at last.

Mr. Pyramid Head bothers me a lot too. I know he is a famous char in SH2 and the staff may want the films to be "as much of Silent Hill as possible", but not saying the basic background, neither SH1 nor SH3 are related to that red pyramid thing (expect Valtiel, which isn't 100% confirmed being the same being as Mr. Pyramid) and he still appears QUITE A LOT. He did get me excited (I love his scythe), but his existence is near meaningless but a horror triggering device. Especially, if that's him and not Valtiel, I have no clue why he fights with Claudia... even if he's Valtiel, I have no clue why Valtiel fights with Claudia either.

I started laughing at the scene on film corresponding to the part when Harry first reached the dead end and saw the urobutchered corpse. The film fails at scenes like this. It's normal to not follow the original work exactly, but the adaption should at least make sense. On film, the little creatures coming out like swarming bees!! Just making people disgusted apparently isn't a good way to make horror films...
Besides, the distorted "beauty" of Silent Hill is ruined by so many fanatics. What I want is the type of fear being alone in a stange and abandoned town. THERE ARE WAY TOO MUCH PEOPLE ON FILMS!! °A°

Except our Mr. Pyramid Head, some creatures from SH2 are shown on film, like the nurse. But, in the context of SH creatures, they reflect the world's creator's mind, so I got a strange feeling while seeing creatures from other game in Sh1/3. Noo, it's totally weird. :squmm:

Another, Douglas dies too early! I like that character very much!! Does the staff prefer young guys? They replaced Doug and got the younger Vencent as the one assisting Heather. Anyhow, since he dies so early, the film could ignore his task to find Heather -- they will find a way to explain it.

About Harry. He in SH1 reminds me Noah in "The Ring 2". Both sneak into the archive for old documents! XD
Finally, although I'm happy with that Harry doesn't die on film, what's the damn ending of SH3?? Looking for his wife? You think who you are? James??? So if they have another sequel, that would be James' story being told by Harry... :sqmushi:

Conclusion, if you really want to know about Silent Hill, STAY AWAY from the films. If you don't want to play the game, I'd still suggest you watching other people playing them.
Silent Hill films aren't good horror films either. Till the end, it's all about people's scream, so annoying... Want horror? Watch Juon or The Ring or play Corpse Party....

-- Little Alessa does look like Sachiko!!!! :sqpo:

Off-topic: I'm enjoying my restored customised smileys, which cost me two days to fix the code. :swell:
