Song To Make Your Day

Although the opening song is quite good, I was disappointed with the opening video. Thankfully, the ending song and video was just awesome. The song is “Trust You” by Yuna Itou. Check the lyrics below:

Hana wa kaze ni yure odoru you ni

Ame wa daichi o uruosu you ni

Kono sekai wa yorisoiai ikite iru no ni

Naze hito wa kizutsukeau no

Naze wakare wa otozureru no

Kimi ga tooku e itte mo mada

Itsumo kono kokoro no mannaka

Ano yasashii egao de umetsukusareta mama

Dakishimeta kimi no kakera ni

Itami kanjite mo mada tsunagaru kara

Shinjiteru yo mata aeru to

I’m waiting for your love

I love you, I trust you

Kimi no kodoku o wakete hoshii

I love you, I trust you

Hikari de mo yami de mo

Futari da kara shinjiaeru

Mou hanasanaid

New Year, New Song

Gundam 00 has a new opening song for the new year:

Namida No Mukou by Stereo Pony
(music video and lyrics below)

Lyrics:

dareka wo kanashimasete made
waraenakute mo
sou itte kanojo wa
utsumuitetanda
yoru ni naita

tsumetaku haritsuite
kogoeteiru
furitsuzuku genjitsu ni
kasa nado nai
ikite yuku koto ga
tatakai nante
sonna riyuu dake de
tojikomerareta
My Heart, My Story

namida no mukou ga mieru no
kagayaiteiru
itsuka deaeru
bokura no tameni
yoake wo matteiru

dareka wo kanashimasete made
waraenakute mo
sou itte kanojo wa
utsumuitetanda
My Story

tsuki kari nureta mama
suwarikonda
ame no machi ni akari ga
tomoru mitai ni
ikite yukeba ii
tada sore dake de
donna riyuu datte
kamawanai kara
My Heart, My Story

namida no mukou ga mieru no
kagayaiteiru
chiisana mado ni wa
ano koro mitai ni
aoi sora ga utsuru
aa tori no youni
tobe wa shinai kedo

muri ni warau koto nai yo
sono mama de iinda yo
shinjitsukete yuku dake

namida no mukou ga mieru no
kagayaiteiru
yami wo kugureba
ano sora wa kitto
nanairo ni kawaru
dareka wo kanashimaseta toki
kanjiru itami
wasurenai youni
sotto me wo tojite
naita

Translation:

“I cant smile, even if it saddens other people”
the girl said hanging her head, and wept into the night
frozen to the bone by cold reality falling upon me
without so much as an umbrella.
Going on living is a battle
with only that reason I locked it shut,
my heart, my story
turning away, I saw a glimmer of your tears
with the hope that we may meet again
I wait both night and day.

“I cant smile, even if it saddens other people”
the girl said hanging her head, your story
being soaked with moonlight
it’s like the rainy city is ablaze with light
with only “you should keep living”
it doesn’t matter what reason you have
My heart, my story
turning away, I saw a glimmer of your tears
through a small window I saw a blue sky like that time
ah, though I can’t fly like a bird…

It’s not smiling in vain
you’re fine as you are
just continue to believe

turning away, I saw a glimmer of your tears
if we drive away the darkness, the sky will surely become rainbow colored
as if not to forget the feeling of the pain
of someone she’d saddened, she closed her eyes and wept

I do like the new song and I hope it will be given justice by a new and cool opening video (the one shown above is not the official one). This will be the second opening song for the current season and the third for the series.

Hmm… What’s this?

A camera for Google Earth?

300% Zoom

Oh no! It’s a solar-powered orbital GENESIS?!

Yes, solar energy is just as good as nuclear.

Seems like it won’t be a Gundam show without a super-weapon of mass destruction. Anyway, this weapon used by the A-LAWS is called Memento Mori, which is Latin for “Don’t mess with the Federation.”

Gundam 00 / Season 2 / Episode 9

To ease the the burden of fansubbers, this episode of Gundam 00 showed some texts already in English. The texts were shown on a computer screen while Andrei was googling about Louise. Not surprisingly, the Engrish, I mean English texts are amusing. Click to see the larger image and read.

Some text taken from the computer(which looks like an ATM machine):

“Earth Sphere Federation Data Bace“

“The relating data was displayed”

“For the revival” (Louise risen from the dead?)

“Explanation of treatment to sickness and trouble“

“It is likely to become unstable mentally when shocking”

“The left arm’s cutting treatment”

“Sex: Woman”

“Home: Spain”

“Belonging: Earth Federation”

Anyway, the “data bace” showed detailed info about Louise. Did you know that she was born on All Saints Day? Maybe Saji was born on Halloween.

While in outer space, Ptolemy received a message (through optical/light transmission) from an A-LAWS mobile suit. The message turned out to be for Sumeragi from Kati. It was unexplained though how Kati was able to send the message through a mobile suit while on Earth. There are a lot of possibilities.

Speaking of computer screenshots, here’s a screenshot I took from a Vista laptop recently.

6 hours?! And to think it started a while ago already. If only there’s Nero in this laptop. I’m digressing.

By the way, the Innovators are Zaft.
