Thanks to the 3 day break, I no longer have any will or motivation to study for my final paper. It’s what happens when you put an object in steady momentum to rest – now that it’s at rest, it’s hard to get it moving again.
I don’t feel like studying at all. Wish I could just die in my sleep or something.
P/S: I just realized how much of a hypocrite and a coward I am. Sigh.
I’ve always liked the song Karenai Hana, the ED theme from Full Metal Panic. It was one of the first Japanese songs I’d ever listened to, and even till today it remains one of my favorite songs ever (up there with Okkusenman and Garnet). The artist behind this song, Shimokawa Mikuni, is also one of my favorite singers and I have loved every single one of her songs to date.
A few days ago, I was randomly surfing the net while attempting to studying, and somehow I had the idea of searching for Shimokawa’s newest albums/singles. After a few minutes of Nipponsei, Tokyo Toshokan and Mediafire searching, I managed to download her Self Cover album 9 Que, which contains remixed versions of her own tracks.
When I first opened the album, my eyes bulged at track #4: Karenai Hana. To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a single remix of this song ever, and needless to say my interest was piqued.
You can download it here:
Karenai Hana ~9 Que~
I must say that it falters in comparison to the original’s powerful tempo. It’s much softer and slower, and just lacks that ‘punch’ that totally sold me out back in the original. This is not to say that it’s bad, though – it’s actually pretty good, but I still prefer the original version.
Other tracks in the CD include Sore ga Ai Desho (another personal favorite), Tomorrow and Alone. Lemme know if you’re interested and I’ll link you up :3
