Pumpkin's Palette: Gilles De Rais (Makai Ouji)

I watched the first episode of Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist today yesterday, and I was amazed (once again) by Toriumi's voice acting skills. I loved his character so much that it gave me inspiration to draw him: Gilles De Rais.

30 layers. 8 hours. I am so done with this. I hates frills.

Pumpkin's Palette: Asahina Tsubaki

I did say expect fan-work from me for BroConf. Here's fanart #1: The 5th brother Asahina Tsubaki.

Coloured version

After 2 hours of work I just want to say 'I give up'. Shadowing hates me.

English translation

Tell me what I should do.
It was never my intention to make you cry.
[Liar!]
Just as the world without a doubt keeps spinning,
I'm not like him, with malicious/bad intentions (towards you).
Let me invite you,
My sweet one.
But you rejected me;
That can't be true, right?
The feeling of sweet candy being crushed between your teeth,
I'm feeling a little impatient,
My heart's completely fallen in love with you.

My sister,
I've fallen madly in love with you,
If only you'd allow me to give you a gentle kiss.
I'm sorry, but I really want to hug you.
[Get away from me!]
If you can accept both pain and sorrow,
Then I'll entrust everything (/all of me) to you right now.
Kiss, kiss, kiss,
I need your love.

Seiyuu appreciation post: Morikawa, KENN and Tomozaku

Morikawa Toshiyuki updated his blog this afternoon and he posted a few interesting pictures, including one where KENN (left) and Tomozaku Sugita (right) were making silly poses.

[Lyrics] IN FUTURE!! - Yuutaku II 「ゆーたくⅡ」

Basic info:

"Yuutaku II" 「ゆーたくⅡ」 is a unit comprised of two seiyuus, Ono Yuuki and Eguchi Takuya. Their two-sided debut single is called 『third Wizard/IN FUTURE!!』. The song "third Wizard" is used as the main theme song of the radio show "What will I do? What will I be!? Yuutaku II" 「どうする?どうなる!?ゆーたくⅡ」, and their second song "IN FUTURE!!" is used as a ending song of the anime Battle Spirits: Sword Eyes.

Comments:

I found these two songs to be very upbeat and catchy. It's full of fun and energy (especially in their PV, they act pretty childish/silly). 

You can download a sample of this single here.

Description: Kanji lyrics and Romaji lyrics of Yuutaku II's song "IN FUTURE!!".

Note: English translation coming soon.

[Piano Sheet Music] Happiness by Aijima Cecil (Uta no Prince sama Maji Love 2000%)

I'm really on a roll with transcribing songs this week. Here's Happiness, Cecil's second song in his character single of UtaPri Maji Love 2000%. This is a really cool song if you can just ignore Cecil's annoying voice. Also, I think the bass line is really fun and awesome.
