あなたはいつだって 自由に生きていて 気分屋なところ猫みたい 頭を撫でてくるその変わらない癖 ウザがるけど嫌いじゃないんだ

Anata wa itsu datte Jiyū ni ikiteite Kibunya na tokoro neko mitai Atama o nadete kuru sono kawaranai kuse Uzagaru kedo kirai janain da

You are always Living freely You have a moody temperament, like a cat That unchanging habit of stroking my head It annoys me but I don’t hate it

友達みたいにケンカして 言いたいこと言い合う関係

Tomodachi mitai ni kenka shite Iitai koto iiau kankei

We fight like we are friends A relationship where we can tell each other what we want to say 

シワができても大丈夫だから いつまでも綺麗だから 笑ってくれるだけで強くなる やっぱりすごいな あなたの笑顔は いつまで経っても子供ですよ 幸せですよ

Shiwa ga dekite mo daijobu dakara Itsumademo kirei dakara Waratte kureru dake de tsuyoku naru Yappari sugoi na anata no egao wa Itsu made tatte wo kodomo desu yo Shiawase desu yo

It is alright if you wrinkle, because You will always be beautiful in my eyes Just by making you smile makes me stronger And as I thought, your smile is incredible No matter how much time passes, I will continue to be your child And that makes me happy

あなたはいつだって 自由に生きていて 空を泳いでる鳥みたい 強がりでそのくせ本当は泣き虫で もうどちらが子供なんだか…

Anata wa itsu datte Jiyū ni ikiteite Sora o oyoideru tori mitai Tsuyogari de sono kuse hontō wa nakimushi de Mō dochira ga kodomo nandaka…

You are always Living freely Like a bird flying in the sky That habit of pretending to be tough, but you’re actually a crybaby Geez, who between the two of us is the child now…

友達みたいにふざけ合って 守りたい大切な存在

Tomodachi mitai ni fuzake atte Mamoritai taisetsu na sonzai

We joke with each other like we are friends You are an important existence I want to protect

白髪増えても大丈夫だから いつまでも綺麗だから 言葉をくれるだけで頑張れる やっぱりずるいな 母親ってやつは いつまで経っても見守ってて 約束ですよ

Shiraga fuete mo daijōbu dakara Itsu made mo kirei dakara Kotoba o kureru dake de ganbareru Yappari zurui na Hahaoya tte yatsu wa Itsu made tatte mo mimamottete Yakusoku desu yo

It is alright if your hair turns gray, because You will always be beautiful in my eyes Just by giving me your words makes me do my best As I thought, you are unfair Someone who is known as a mother No matter how much time passes, I will watch over you That I promise you

これからも元気でいて あなたの“幸せ”が幸せ

Kore kara mo genki de ite Anata no “shiawase” ga shiawase

Stay happy and well from now on Your “happiness” is happiness itself

シワができても大丈夫だから いつまでも綺麗だから 笑ってくれるだけで強くなる やっぱりすごいな あなたの笑顔は いつまで経っても子供ですよ 幸せですよ

Shiwa ga dekite mo daijobu dakara Itsumademo kirei dakara Waratte kureru dake de tsuyoku naru Yappari sugoi na anata no egao wa Itsu made tatte wo kodomo desu yo Shiawase desu yo

It is alright if you wrinkle, because You will always be beautiful in my eyes Just by making you smile makes me stronger And as I thought, your smile is incredible No matter how much time passes, I will continue to be your child And that makes me happy

As a young man Gore Browne courted Lorna Bosworth Smith for three years, but she married someone else. She and her husband Edwin Goldmann died young, and in England in 1927, Gore Browne met their orphaned daughter Lorna Goldmann (1908–2002). Despite the quarter-century difference in their ages, they married that year and went to live at Shiwa Ngandu. They had two daughters, Lorna and Angela. However, from 1934 the couple spent much time apart. Lady Gore-Browne did not share her husband's dreams for the estate and they divorced in 1950.

is there a word for this phenomenon. where you marry the daughter of a woman who spurned you. i feel like this is a thing

破顔 / Hagan / A Wide Smile

*reposted because I hated the formatting in the previous version of this post HAHA

Ahhhhh this was really tricky to translate as this song was full of metaphors (classic Satocchan). But even though it hurt my brain so much, I pushed through as I believe this is one of their best songs - I feel like it’s a love letter of some sort to their fans/supporters for being their light, and because they received so much love and support (light) from them, they will do their best to pass on that light to others through their music.

Anyway, hope this post and this song will make you smile widely, too :)

帰り道のライト　何らかの合図を　無機質に放つビルたちの 名前は知らんよ　でもありがとう　開いてく心の搬入口

暖かな窓　カーテンの奥を　推し量ることは野暮だけど 幸せ願うよ　暮らしのサインを　くれた顔も知らぬ仲間たち

あなたが居るなら人生は今日も平和だ

到底僕じゃ払えもしないような　深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう 街の誰そ彼の人生の　無数の美しさに途方に暮れる

ため息をつくと　止めてよってちょっと　叱ってくるおかしな奴がいる 言葉ではないよ　点滅のレッド　泳ぐ四輪二輪魚の群れ

眺めてた僕の荷物は笑みへと変わった

到底ひとりじゃ作れもしないような　愛着の湧くシワのひとつひとつ 君のあなたのお前たちの　その頼もしさに途方に暮れる

消えてくライト　静けさと共に　灯り出すライト　代わる代わる 訪れる夜を　生き抜くための大事な光を 宿してる誰も　届いてるちゃんと　ちゃんと　ちゃんと

到底僕じゃ払えもしないような　深い闇さえもぼやかしてしまう 街の誰そ彼の人生の　無数の美しさに途方に暮れる

きっと僕らは受け取ってしまう　色んな恐怖も色んな悲しみも それを背負ったもの同士だからこそ　互いを照らし合っては笑う

全てのライト　おやすみありがとう　届いてるちゃんと　ちゃんと

The lights on the way home, being emitted by those cold, lifeless buildings, serves as some sort of signal I may not know their names, but I'm thankful, (since) they opened up the (service) entrance to their hearts

Although it's dumb to guess who or what’s behind these curtains and warm windows I wish these friends, who have been giving me signs to live, happiness, even though I don't know their faces

As long as you're here, this life, as well as the present, will be peaceful

I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city* A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best

As I breathed a sigh, I stopped for a while; a weird guy scolds at someone Without any words, the red lights blinked; the four-wheeled and two wheeled vehicles moving like a school of fishes (also begin to stop)

I watched as my baggages turned into smiles

I am left in awe of the kindness of each and every one of you** That even if one doesn't make an effort to make connections, one by one, those feelings (of affection) eventually reach me, like a ripple

The lights come on and then disappear with the silence, they change, one after the other That precious light that keeps us alive during the nights that (always) come I'll carry it with me and make sure it reaches someone, for sure, I'll make sure of that

I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best

Surely, we'll have to accept everything - even the (various) fears and sadness It is exactly because we go through all these things together that we can shine and laugh at these together

The lights, as well as the good night and thank you's - I'll make sure they reach someone, for sure

T/N

"*OH GOD HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THESE TWO LINES IT WAS SO HARD TO TRANSLATE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER TRANSLATION I MAKE IT WILL NOT DO THE LINES JUSTICE :(( I WILL ALWAYS BE AMAZED OF HOW SATOCCHAN IS A GENIUS WITH WORDS. Tasogare, with the kanji he used in the lyrics, would mean "who is that?". This is actually an old adage/old way of referring to unknown people. In recent times, ""tasogare"" (with the kanji 黄昏) means "twilight", which, actually comes from the old meaning of tasogare. If you look at the lyrics, you will see that both meanings of tasogare work with the context of the song = it may mean that he is completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the lives of the immeasurable number of people he's never known in town (as immeasurable as the stars in the twilight sky). The people interpretation will also work with the song as it can be used as reference for the second chorus (kimi no anata no omaetachi no)."

"**Kimi no, anata no, omaetachi no - kimi, anata, and omae all mean ""you"" when translated into english, but the differences in these lie in the degree of closeness the speaker has with the other party being pertained to. Kimi is more casual and can refer to friends, family, and loved ones, anata to other people one knows (acquaintances, etc; but can also be used with people you have a very close relationship with, especially since anata is sometimes used between husband and wife), and omaetachi to those you don't have a personal relationship with."

Shiwa Shiwa and Indigo Mushikui II Yuko Kimura (USA/Japan)

ms kimura dyes and collages prints and book pages that have been eaten away by worms. to her this is wabi-sabi. this is another type of work that appeals to me bc nature played its hand by letting worms eat random shapes and then she arranged it afterward. closeup so you can see the worm bites better

If most of the characters are supposed to represent colors, then what is "Shiwas" supposed to be?

Leftovers

English Translation:

Let’s say everything ends tomorrow

And the whole world is in chaos

Even at that time, I’d probably carelessly

Invite you to go night drinking

Like always, you’d furrow your brows

“What are you saying at a time like this?” you’d scold me

But your smile would immediately come back

And you’d go along with my selfishness

I don’t say it, but

Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you

In uncertain times like these

I want to spend time with you

La la la la la, la la, la la

La la la la la, la la, la la

On an ordinary day at dusk

At the outskirts of an ordinary townscape

Let’s find an ordinary wine bar

And talk about ordinary things

Why did I suddenly think of something like that?

I don’t say it, but

There’s no world for me without you

From the beginning until the end

So there won’t be any leftovers

La la la la la, la la, la la

La la la la la, la la, la la

Even on days when the rain is pouring down

Even on days with the sun is beating down

Yeah, I don’t really mind at all

Even on days when the rain is pouring down

Even on days when the sun is beating down

I wanna sing you a song

I don’t say it, but

Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you

In uncertain times like these

I want to live a long life with you

I don’t say it, but

I’ll sing along to a melody

From the beginning until the end

So there won’t be any leftovers

La la la la la, la la, la la

La la la la la, la la, la la

メトロミニッツ20周年記念のオリジナルクラフトビールのラベルを描きました。東京メトロの9ラインが交錯しています。 AD+D：@zoology_tokyo フルーティで、温度変化によって風味が増すおもしろい味わいです。(ビールについての詳細は下部↓) 販売している期間限定ショップ(築地)は12/11(日)が最終日。 金・土11:00～20:00 日11:00～18:00 I drew an illustration for the label of an original craft beer for the 20th anniversary of Metro Minute magazine. The nine lines of the Tokyo Metro intersect. ▽ビール醸造所 国立ブルワリー @kunitachi_brewery ▽醸造士 斯波 克幸 / SHIBA Katsuyuki also know as SHIWA @shiwa_kunitachibrewery 東京とローカルをつなぐフリーマガジン［metromin.］の創刊20周年記念ビールを編集部の皆さまと一緒に2回目をつくりました！ 前回同様にアメリカ産人気ホップのモザイクを軸にして香りを組み立て、祝祭をイメージした華やかさ、一方で水っぽくない瑞々しい飲み心地を表現するために使用したホップは銘柄は9種類（品種にして10種類）。 前回のリリースは暑い季節で今回は寒い季節。ということでアルコール度数を前回より思い切って高くし、より華やかに仕上げました。液体自体は口の中からスッとなくなりますが、しっかりと余韻を楽しめます。 アロマフレイバーはグーズベリーやカシス、黒ブドウ、バブルガム様の甘いニュアンスから、パイナップルから白ブドウ様の爽やかなニュアンス。 その下地にはメロンや、濃色オレンジなど柑橘のニュアンスも隠れており、洋梨や砂糖漬けの果実のような甘いニュアンスも感じられます。温度変化と共に黒ブドウ系、白ブドウ系の香りが行ったり来たり。 Kveik Yeast由来のほのかな酸味のテクスチャにグーズベリーのような酸味と余韻、爽やかなパイナップルやレモンを感じる人もいると思います。余韻の中には白ぶどう以外にもアプリコットや白桃を見つけられる方もいるでしょう。 糖分は酵母によって全て食べつくされていますが、厚みのあるアロマフレイバーから甘さが感じられます。その甘味を引き締める程度の苦味とフレイバー由来のほのかな酸味がアクセント。 アルコール度数は高いですが飲み疲れしないと自信を持って言える仕上がりです。 ・・・（続きはBEER STORYで） @kunitachi_brewery のプロフィールURLから「BEER」へ #メトロミニッツ #metromin #KUNITACHIBREWERY #瓜生太郎 #tarouryu (築地4丁目交差点) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7vv0Hyzg9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello! For the Valentine’s Day asks, how about Blush, first date and ballad?

[Ask game here!]

Blush: What could someone do this Valentine’s to make you feel special?

Acceptance :') I'm currently in a sad mood, so right now, all I really want is that someone that I care about shows that they appreciate me whether it's by a gift or the simple saying of "I think you're cool to be around with." I really don't care, I just want to know that I mean something to the people who mean a lot to me. Because sometimes, I probably may just cherish the person more than they cherish me, and that... kind of hurts ahahaha

First date: Describe your ideal first date.

The bare minimum is that I'm taken to a place to eat. If we're not eating, we are Not going out on a second date.

But since it's my ideal first date, I want to be the one to take the person to a place that means a lot to me. The mall next door to my home, the ice cream place that I always frequent, the park with all the lights that I like to walk around in... I will only date someone if I know them and care about them to the point that I want to take them to the places that always make me smile. I know how good this restaurant is, I know how pretty this park is, so I want to share that little joy with a person that I love.

Now if they do that for me, that's also gonna make me smile a shit ton.

Ballad: Best love song?

. bruh.

HAHAHAHAHAHA WTF I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MANY LOVE SONGS LATELY 😭😭😭

ok so currently my favorite love song is Betelgeuse by Yuuri. I linked a cover of the song but please listen to the og as well. I've only discovered Yuuri a few days ago and I am obsessed with his songs. Highly suggest checking him out, his love songs are so relatable

But if you want THE best love song in my opinion, you have to listen to Shiwa. It's just a song about growing old with the person you love, and ISTG !!!!!! this song makes me want to get married!!!! 😭 I just want to meet that someone that I can share my life with !!!!!! I swear, it's such an underrated song, you guys have to listen it.
