Frog Kite Near Light
Here’s a frog kite I’ve had since I was a kid. I was trying to get a sort of ominous shot, but it didn’t quite work out. This is my submission into the three hundred-and-sixtieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme … Continue reading
Hitomi Sato: Abyssal Ruins
One listen. Got a fair bit out with this one and I’m kind of surprised. I don’t think I did well enough to paint the scene. Was kind of doing so at the start, then veered away hard. Hitomi Satos’ … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Abandoning Power
One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say. It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final … Continue reading

Between Notes
Here’s a hand action photo, specifically of one of the members of June of 44. This is due to chance of the shot, but it almost looks like the note is being carefully considered, as though there’s uncertainty in what … Continue reading

Yuko Komiya: Everlasting Words
This is another song I’ve had queued up for a while. It was fairly straightforward to write about and I think that has to do with me being familiar enough to have an idea of how the song goes, but … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: The Archylte Steppe
When I started doing this one I thought I’d have an easy go with rambling on. In now having just done the writing I feel that that was not quite the case. I think I stumbled a bit as I … Continue reading

Yoshitaka Hirota: ~ICARO AGAIN ~ Advertise II
Once more I wrote quickly. Not sure what I was trying to capture with this one, but I feel I did alright in terms of describing what happens during the song. It sort of feels like the second part of … Continue reading

Yoshitaka Hirota: Prelude~ ~ Advertise I
This was written over one listen. I wrote quickly and tried to capture a sense of the otherwordliness that the song sort of gets across, but I don’t think I did a good job. Yoshitaka Hirota’s (弘田佳孝) “Prelude~ ~ Advertise … Continue reading

The God Machine: The Hunter
Another one that was one listen. This one was quite difficult. I tried writing it earlier today but had a lot of trouble getting started and so I stopped (though the stopping was also due to needing to head out). … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Mysteries Abound
This was written over two listens. I was aiming to talk more about imagery but that didn’t quite come through. I think I slipped into review mode once more. That said, I think I did an acceptable job in terms … Continue reading
