Heh really let this place rust didn't I?

*shrugs* Never thought I was cut out for maintaining a blog anyways.

Just felt like writing memoirs? or perhaps words I'd love to hear bout in the future. I don't know at the moment. I think i'll just stick to writing whatever I want to for now and hopefully keeping it up for a while.

I've been listening to Maaya Sakamoto again recently(I tend to discover her, move on then find her again after like a half year xD) but this was the first time I actually bothered to look up english translations of her lyrics, to sum it up in a single word is nearly impossible really, all of her lyrics are both beautiful and truthful, simple and complex, thought provoking and yet relaxing, they're full of contradictions and yet they fit and fit very well indeed.

Unlike broken love songs or songs about yearning(a dime a dozen...), each of her songs brings about a positive burst of energy that almost always says one central theme, It's not the end of the world, keep on living. Each one of her love songs(and there's a lot of them actually O.o; I didn't think she had that many xD) details a different style of looking at love, ranging from being deeply in love,first loves, recently being out of love, you name it, she's probably sung something of a similar nature at least once(and some multiple times :P). Each time she encourages herself and anyone else who listens to her songs that WE are strong enough to survive this and move on.

When she's not singing about love, she's singing about life usually and not only living with yourself but loving yourself. Even offering support for those who feel they can't love themselves(i.e No Fear). Ranging between upbeat powerful (and usually extremely cute O.o;) songs like Poketto o Kara ni Shite and Guitar hiki naritai to slower songs like Universe and Afternoon Repose, somehow though both types still manage to contain almost extreme amounts of meaning to anyone who actually takes to time to listen and think about it's meaning.

Strictly speaking, trying to condense the feelings of respect I have for this artist into one post is like trying to fit an encyclopedia in a single page. Impossible. Thus, I'll unveil what i'm planning to do for a while at least, I'll see if I have any songs I feel a bit too strongly about and lay out what I feel about it. I feel that this is the best and pretty much only way I can thank Maaya for singing all her songs.

Maybe not at the moment though, don't really feel like musing that much. ... *looks at post* okay so I lied but I should be studying instead anyway.
