Rasen


螺旋 (Rasen)


私の何処かで
何かが消え失せ
サビついた怒りを
手放そうとしてる

私は鳥になり
雑踏を飛んで行く
迷いは羽根になり
全てを振り切って行く
Life
My Life
My Fragile Life
やっと気づいたの

この腕が伸びて
枝や茎になり
あなたを忘れる事で
天にまで届く

人ゴミの中で
洗い流したリズム
足をつかむ誰かを
そっとすり抜けて

私は鳥になり
雑踏を飛んで行く
迷いは羽根になり
全てを振り切って行く
Life
My Life
My Fragile Life
やっと気づいたの

Life
My Life
My Precious Life
やっと手に入れたの

---

Somewhere inside me, something has disappeared
I'm about to let go of my rusted-together anger

I become a bird and go flying over traffic
My doubts becomes wings
and I shake everything off
Life, my life, my fragile life
I've finally noticed it

These arms of mine stretch out and become branches and a stem
And in forgetting you I’ll reach heaven

Among the crowd is the rhythm that was washed away
I quietly make my way past someone who grabs my leg

I become a bird and go flying over traffic
My doubt becomes wings and I shake everything off
Life, my life, my fragile life,
I've finally noticed it

Life, my life, my precious life,
I’ve finally obtained it

- 鬼束ちひろ (Onitsuka Chihiro)

  1. i really love this piece and the peacock-ish fairy (Peairy).. this two really took my breath away...

    however, err.. okayz.. i hope you wont mind if i sound out my opinion.. :p

    when i compare to (Peairy), i feel (Peairy) is more real,more impact and also, detailed.. i think maybe the head angle up bit more,and add a little mole at the lip's area..then will be perfect for me..


    hope you won't mind...

  2. James, is that you?

    Thanks for your honest opinion and constant support! I agree that the Fairy piece is more impactful. However, I did put a lot of thought into her pose and this was quite specifically what I wanted. Your suggestion is valid though, and might add a different sort of feeling to the piece. I'm sorry to say that I can't agree with the mole though, but thank you for the suggestion!

  5. HAHAHAHAHAHA this is like the funniest comment page i've ever came across.. since he suggested a mole, may i suggest a pimple too? XD

    okays let's get down to business.. i really love the close up view.. i also like the fact that this piece was inspired by the song.. i can definitely relate it to the breaking free from rules/doubts with all those signboards behind..

    btw, bananaliv is offended.. he ain't your only supporter.. pfft!

    supporter number 2,
    Liv
