Faint chanting can be heard from the crowd far away, but I concentrated on my own world. I needed to make sure I was calm and focused. If I messed up, I would not only disappointing myself but those in the crowd as well. All that I have worked for has come to this moment. When I would be able to go on stage and have my dream come true. I remember how I first heard about it as a child on the television. The people on that stage for shining like stars and never had their shine go away.

As I walk forward I can hear the chanting grow louder and louder. My legs shake slightly with each step, as if the weight of the world was coming down upon me with each “clack” noise I hear from my sandals hit the smooth concrete. Everything was setup on the stage for me as I peered from behind the stage. Thousands of eyes were looking for any inch of me to come onto the stage to know that the event would start soon. I can feel the sweat forming in my gloved hand as I try to calm down. The chanting has grown to a level where all I could think of was my name as they chanted it.

I step out from beyond the curtain to find a crowd who suddenly grew from a loud chant to silence. After I pick up my guitar I step forward to the mike and take a deep breath.

“HELLO Budōkan!!!”  Read more...

I wake up in a cold sweat again. I look at my clock and see that it says 4 pm which means I go to work in 3 hours. Laying back down on my bed I think about this recurring dream I keep having. I am walking down a pathway in a forest and darkness surrounds me. The only light source seems to be glowing blue mushrooms along the ground. Suddenly I stop as I sense I’m not alone. I look forward and see a glowing blue flame. I try to sprint to the flame as I know if I don’t I’ll just wake up again without finding the source of this blue flame. I run faster and soon come to a abrupt stop. In front of me I finally saw the source of the blue flame. I was initially freaked out as the flame was coming from a girls eye. She turned her head to face me and gave me a stare that I could not erase from my mind. A stare that seemed to pierce through me, as if analyzing me from top to bottom. She was about to speak when I woke up to the beginning of this tale.

I hope to go back to sleep and hear what this mysterious girl with the blue flame was trying to say…which I may never know.  Read more...

There’s a very beautiful Japanese shrine that I know of and decided to visit. It’s not on my way from home to work and work to home but something I’ve been going to since my childhood, maybe every few years or so. I never remembered much except the huge koi in the gigantic pond, a huge temple, and two girls that were my age. The girls in particular stuck out in my mind as they were twins who I used to play with when I was younger whenever I visited. Now that I was older, I thought playing probably wasn’t something we could do anymore when we met and maybe just talking and enjoying some tea while we fed the koi would bring something that we never had before. Stepping out from my car I walk across the stone bridge with it’s bright red wooden side rail’s that I have passed since childhood, noticing the fresh coat of paint as I ran my fingers along it. As I near the end of the bridge I can see the huge temple and gigantic koi pond, majestic, as if from a storybook tale. Out of the corner of my eye I can see two figures with purple hair talking towards each other as they walk and stopping when they notice me and gave a smile and a wave as I approached the twin girls, Kagami and Tsukasa Hiiragi.  Read more...

Recently Tomoyo and I went out for some fun and business. The fun part was doing a figure shoot and playing mini-golf. The business was picking up some manga for our local convention. I decided to try something I’ve never done before, taking pictures of nendoroids outside with captions attached to them lol. Tomoyo also had a interesting idea for a group nendo scene which you can read about.  Read more...

It must have been more than 50 years ago when I met her. I was a fighter pilot for the governments navy at the time when I was out on a routine flight test during the day when something went wrong. My B82-F’s engine was giving off huge clouds of black smoke as my plane was going towards a nose dive into the ocean. I tried to gain control of the plane but to no avail. I ejected out of the cockpit right before my plane crashed right into ocean with a huge noise of crunching metal of the wings ripping off from the fuselage and flying in both directions 60 meters away from where the impact point. A huge splash followed as my seat soon landed on the ocean surface. I quickly unbelted myself before I sank with the heavy seat and swam to a few floating pieces of metal to stay afloat as my water soaked clothes weighed me down. It wasn’t long before a huge wave came along and pushed me for what seemed like forever into the water, I thought I was going to die that day as the world around me grew dark.

I awoke, cold and wet to a darkening sky and palm tree leaves overhead with the moon starting to show, and sand beneath my body. I felt a warmth coming from my right and turned my head to see a fire and some fish roasting on a stick near the fire. I could barely move my body but the scent of the fish cooking made me drag my weakened body to the fire. Right as I was to reach for a stick stuck in the fish I hear something moving in the forest was and I turned my head towards the direction to find a cute girl coming out of the forest.  Read more...
