AiriZel: Thoughts

I finally found the full version of Yuna Ito’s Trust you !! I’m soooo happy! you can take a listen to it on youtube here:

It’s such an amazing song. It’s definitely at #1 in terms of my favorite Japanese songs of all time, and slowly creeping up my favorite song of all time. I really want to meet Yuna Ito now. This song is just that good.

In other news, after swimming roughly 180 laps at the Granada Swim-a-thon,  I passed the 500 yards portion of the lifeguard test, so now I just need to attend Rookie school and I can become a lifeguard for the pools in the area. Definitely a good backup in case I don’t get the NSLI-Y program I want to get into.

This is the final week leading up to the Science Bowl competition so I’ll be studying while listening to Yuna Ito . I hope nobody else is sick (because I definitely am!)

First and foremost, let’s get a few things out of the way.

Coup d’état are BAD!
Even though the anime for two or so episodes has been trying to justify their existence through legitimacy via corruption, there is no such thing as a justifiable coup. Successful coups involve the people, and not just trying to open their eyes. Considering the information control that was in place prior to the coup, it was no surprise that they would inevitably used to further the corruption of the government. The correct way that Hercules should have pursued would have been to take pictures himself, get the information, and leak it to the media. That way, like other international scandals, the press can have a field day.

Secondly, Yuna Ito’s “Trust You” IS SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!! I’ve had it on loop for long periods of time (hours on end) almost everyday. It’s just that good. I mean, I really liked the old ED, but I can’t wait for the full version of this song to come out. For those of you who don’t know Yuna Ito, she’s a half-Japanese half-Korean American born in my hometown of Los Angeles. Growing up in Hawaii, she became a Japanese pop and R&B singer. She was in the Nana movie as a vocalist, which was where I first saw her (yes I saw the Nana movie -.- It wasn’t really a choice).

She has an amazing voice .

Other than that, I’m somewhat disappointed that Setsuna was neutered so early on in the series (we have 10 episodes left). That said, I have a feeling that his injury will incompassitate him for a couple of episodes to shorten the amount of time he’s unable to kill people in (which happens to almost every main character of a Gundam series).

Lastly, I’m glad that Gundam 00 has advanced the “enemy” to a whole new level of awesome. Instead of just having 1 Super amazing destroy all weapon, they have 2!

Gundam 00 has truly raised the bar heh.
