[9/30] Future... or not?

Day 09: How you hope your future will be like

Today's challenge is invalid seeing as I've already done it in day 2 when I discussed where I'd like to be in 10 years! D<

So instead I'll be doing a fangirl dedication go my favorite NND singer for the past few months... CLEAR~~ x3

I can't remember who I've talked about months ago, but I'm pretty sure it was just Sekihan and ShounenT. Don't get me wrong, they're still awesome and I still like them... just for different reasons and not as much as clear x3

The way I see it, Sekihan is (as my friend puts is) "a freak of nature" in a freakishly amazing way @_@ goodness knows how he's able to conjure up such variety in his voice. He released a new... album... recently which is something like old.... fairytales... (I can't think of the right word atm... the word for stories like Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk and whatnot~) narrated in his voice where he's speaking like an old woman. Personally, unlike his young girl voice, I don't think his old woman voice is as convincing/amazing/appealing. But that's a whole different discussion~ Moving on...

ShounenT I like mostly because he's pretty cute, his blog is adorable and I like the fact that he's like 6 months older than me x3

and then there's clear. omg there's clear @___@ idk why it took me the first few months on nico to realize it, but he has a BEAUTIFUL voice... it's so... so... CLEAR! (okay now I feel like I've said this before... if this is a repeat rant... too bad. It's clear and he's worth it~ x3) I think my craze about him probably started when I finally decided to download his Dearest album after seeing it around so many times and eventually stumbling across it. VERY unfortunately, I can't really put links to most of his best songs here because most of his best songs (imo) come from albums that he hasn't uploaded full versions up on nico T~T So if you're reading this rant and are curious to hear what I'm talking about, GO DOWNLOAD HIS ALBUMS Dearest AND Dearest II! They're so awesome I swear you'll never regret it @___@

My favorites from Dearest (which probably started me on this craze) are:
「ねぇ。」// Nee.
ゆびきり // Yubikiri
Under the Snow

They are SO pretty @_@ yeah I'm a sucker for those quiet kinds of songs... and he just happens to sing those best~ imo anyways xD

I also highly recommend his ACUTE with Seryu and Wotamin which I remember linking months and months ago... and here come the link spams~ If you're too lazy to listen to them all just listen to the first one. Moon. Absolute best~! Though Because of You runs a close second @_@









Other favorites:

From Dearest II:
~Ashita he (featuring RapBit. I agree with the comments that it's a bit like GReeeeN's style @_@)
~Little Traveler (he sang this at the live in Taiwan. Absolutely beautiful @___@)
~Pianissimo (I think it's composed and accompanied by koman? xD)
~Namida no Kiseki (I think this one comes from some game ED? Possibly a BL one. It's beautiful regardless~)

~Shining (from his single "Shining")
~Reverberation (from 4x4 - four by four- collaboration CD. I didn't really like the rest of the CD but this song is amazing! As expected of clear~!)
~Magnet (with Dasoku. Not one of my favorites of his, but probably his most popular one as voted by others xD)
~Polaris (with Asamaru. From the PointFive(.5) album COLOR)
~Hoshi no Komori Uta (with Dasoku. From the PointFive(.5) album enhAnce)

There's others too but I think I'll just keep my list at that... there's just so many good songs by clear in general *spazzes*! Go download his albums nao and become addicted to them like I have @_@

By the way, these are the albums by him/featuring him that I've downloaded... I'm sure he had other earlier singles... only I haven't had the time/haven't really felt like looking back further.
