The Coordinates of our Dream ☆ NEW AMV!☆

Yes, I just had to do another Misaki Kirihara AMV, I couldn't help myself. I just love her too much. Though, I did actually have a couple of other reasons why I wanted to make this AMV of her.

1. My previous Darker than BLACK AMV of Misaki and Hei was a bit... well, saying it didn't have a happy ending is a good way to put it. I mean the combination is great and really works, but I like these two together and then having it end with Misaki being like "who needs you" left me wanting to make one with a more positive finish, a hopeful one to be exact (Btw, I still don't understand how the Tokyo Nights AMV is viewable on YouTube again now, I swear it was blocked the last time I looked).
2. I was really dying to make one with a Nana song. Why? Because Misaki is voiced by Nana and I thought it would add something magical to the mix if it really was like Misaki was singing it herself. Kind of makes it more like it really is her feelings, that sort of thing.
3. After coming up with those two points I mentioned, I happened to be listening to PHANTOM MINDS and it instantly hit me how perfect the song was for my purpose. The mood of the song is hopeful and purposeful, and that sort of thing fits Misaki very well. Not to mention that the theme of stars really fits Darker than Black as a series and even Misaki's feelings for Hei. Success all around! 

Preparations for Japan

After a couple of months of nearly constant stressing, it is rather unbelievable that I currently find myself in a situation where I have a lot more sorted out by now than I ever thought I could possibly have. So here's a little update on where I'm currently standing.

Doctor? Doctor who?

Everyone! \o/

So during the last few months I have watched pretty much all of Doctor Who from since they relaunched the series in 2005. Well, apart from the episodes with the 11th Doctor, from those I have only seen the latter half of the first series he starred in. I find this all quite funny, considering how I was very much against the series when I lived in the UK. I guess that was because there was so much Doctor Who stuff around and I really don't like hypes that much. Always a treader of my own path, sometimes for no good reason it seems. Dx 

Happy Hunger Games~!

I was able to restrain myself from writing about Hunger Games before, and I was trying to refrain from writing about it now after hearing the recent news...... but in the end I could not resist any longer.

First off, I would like to start with stating that I really love the Hunger Games books. The writing style and story are so gripping, that I was completely hooked from the moment I picked up the first book till the moment I set down the last one. I was so absorbed in the story that I felt very empty inside after it ended. And these, ladies and gentlemen, are the things that determine what is an amazing book in my eyes. I really recommend that everyone should read the books and also would like to comment that bickering about the idea being very similar to Battle Royale is foolish. Sure there are similarities, as there is also between both of those and 1984, Lord of the Flies and even some movies, but let's face it - this same thing happens between many other books/stories as well. Like for example Matched and Delirium, which both sound to me like they have a very similar idea behind them, but one of my workmates has told me that both books are brilliant and I have no reason to doubt her (she is Miss Fantasy after all ;D). As a more radical example we could take the whole genre of murder/detective stories. I mean, most of them are about someone, who works out the culprit behind the murder or crime, that happened at the beginning of the story. Very similar I would say, but even so, the stories end up being very different and some are good and some are bad. Anyway, enough of my rant, let's get back on track..

BRIGHT STREAM is here~!
