went to see twilight yesterday!!! YAY! wouldn't mind seeing it ten more times in a row - and coming from me that's a lot. considering how demanding I usually am with movies - specially teenage ones - for me to say that the twilight big-screed adaptation is great means a lot. with regards to the adaptation in itself, I think it was very carefully done: trimming the necessary parts without leaving out anything important and connecting events to make up for what had been omitted. the actors are very good in their respective roles - though I'd have chosen someone else for carlysle... he looks like a fiend... and rob pattinson's interpretation of edward went far beyond the image of the first book: he gave the character a tormented, tortured air that made him more real and added to the depth of his personality - much apreciated, rob. I was not an edward fan - surprised? - but the edward of the film has won my heart (and not because of robert pattinson's looks, I swear).

on another note - actually, the reason there is a post has nothing to do with twilight, but I just couldn't help commenting - following one of the last posts of mamoruchan 's blog, I decided to translate [時代], which was in the list, but near the bottom. I suspected the reference to it in her post was meant as a hint and so here it is.
oh, how I love their "badass" songs!!! why don't they do them anymore T_T ? *sniff*
anyway, the lyris are great, どうぞ!

(*1): though the say [明日] “ashita” it's actually written [未来] “mirai”, which stands for future; but for all purposes the meaning is the same.

(*2): instead of the usual kanji for “song” and “to sing” (歌), here they use an old one (唄) that refers also to “tanka”, japanese 31-syllable poems. thought it was worth mentioning.
