Please Smile, Boyfriend!

Time to catch up again. A few hours ago H!F released one of my videos. This time it was definitly one of the songs I really, really, reaaaaally wanted to do. I was actually dying to do it since I really loved it since it was released. We're talking about BerryZ Koubou - Warachaou yo BOYFRIEND, one of my favourite songs by Berryz. I was able to persuade SC to help me out on this since the version jh!p released I really didn't liked. I had the opinion that a song which is constantly singing about baloons should have baloons in it.
I'm really happy that it worked out this great and it seems people really like it too.
Well, I'm not going to talk much more and just let you enjoy it. Torrent as always is on Hello!Online. Till next time!

Releaseupdate

Time for another update on my releases!
Two of my latest works have been released within the last week. I'm a little late again, but I've been really busy and I'm already on the jump again. I've got to be out here in a few minutes so I'll probably make this really brief.

The first release was the concert performance of Athena & Robikerottsu's last single for the kids-anime Robby & Kerobby "Seishun! Love Lunch". The concert performance we choose to release because the DVD Raw for this song probably won't be out till december this year (it's supposed to be on the next pucchi best). We thought that was way to long to wait for this cute song, so we decided to work with the footage of the Hello!Project'08 Winter ~Wonderful Hearts Nenjuu Mu Kyuu~ concert. Hello!Fansubs is also going to release the PV as soon as the DVD Raw for it is out, but for now please enjoy this video.As for the effect I was a little restricted since I had to use the same colors and fonts we already use for the first athena song. I also had to try to match it with the style we choose for them but still try to make it my own (dunno if you'll understand what I mean). I think I pretty much succeded with it. I really love this song and performance.
The other song that was released was sona - harari hirari, which is an awesome sakura-themed song. It's also the theme song to the anime movie "Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Maihitoyo~" which I don't know at all, but I liked the manga. Oh well. This was basically an on the spot thing, since I got the timing from someone who told me "do it if you like, if not it's okay too". I actually like this song a lot. It was released under Mognet.
DANG, now I'm pretty late so I'm going to go off now. See yo in a few days?

Last Shopping Trip[Update] + Yesterdays Book Event

Well, time for some pics of my latest gets. (I know I really should have posted them earlier, but hadn't had any time yet)
Here is a pic compilation of my new pumps. I'm so glad I bought them. They are awesome!And here as a pic of my new bag. It's got a lovely nightmare before christmas motive. I so love that movie!

Well that's it from last time. Yesterday was a busy day. Before we could drool on Dean Kane aka. Clark Kent again, Esther and me went to a book bourse. It was really huge and they had lots of really old books and some newer ones, but only a few. Most of them were still bound in leather and were expensive and old. I so wished in that moment that I had the money, the room and the library to buy those books and fill it with them. I found a lot of books with fairy tales, castle legends and other such books and I love those things. I actually bought 8 books on the bourse while Esther only bought 3. T_T and it was her idea to go there. *sigh* never let me in a book store before stripping me of all the money or I'll end up with a bag full of books. *shudder*

The 2 big books are book about old railways which I bought for my granddad. He loves those, especially really old ones and I couldn't resist. 5 were books about märchen, legends and tales. And one was about english literature!

HA! I'm so happy I got those. The legents in particular. I love those. Well since I relaly have a lot to do I'm going to cut this short and I'll see you all the next time I update this... oh shoot! One of my videos was released. ok. so I'll see you later. going to clean up a little and do an update on my latest videos after that. see ya all!

Dave Thomas - Our Story

Hello folks! It's me - again. Anyway. I've been browsing through the net again and saw that one of the guys I subscribe too on youtube has had a new video out. Since I'm recently hooked up on Yann Tiersen music (even bought one of his albums) I had this guy - Dave - on my list and he released one of his new works which seemed to be entirly his own work. Not much known so far, but I thought I share it with you since this song sounds totally awesome and I so love music like that, piano music in particular. Well here it is: Dave Thomas - Our Story. An awesome song with a lot of feeling in it. Check it out!

dare ka imasu ka?

Just to keep you all posted on what's going on, since I'm not writing much right now...
I've been trying to catch up on some work - RL and online:

* ) Kumama and Stiltzkin are back from Japan so Mognet is back rolling with lots of new stuff to come in the future. 3 more PVs done and gone into encode. Hopefully they'll be done soon. Seems we're going to get some interessting new songs too. We added some BoC, Miyavi, Ken Hirai, Teriyaki Boys, YUZU and AAA. There'll still be more stuff and those artists won't be done for a long time, since everyone in Mognet has a shitlong list of pending projects *haha*
* ) Tried to figure out which hours I still need to attend to get my bachlor degree. Turned out I still need a shitload of exams, which concludes in me going on hiatus starting May 20th, to have some time to write on my bachlor project, learn for tests and get on track on some other stuff. Need to do lots of non-wanted reading... *sigh*
* ) Finished two new videos for Hello!Fansubs. One is a BerryZ one and one is a concert performance by Athena & Robikerobittsu. I so love this song now and it turned out great. Had to make it look themed, since someone else did the first song of this group. Oh well, I did it and it looks good. Unfortunately the DVD Raw of the actual PV won't be out until december this year. Sucks? Yeah, totally agree with you on that. (On that dvd - which is a pucchi best of - is also the C-ute Song I was supposed to do........ *sigh* everything's against me T_T)
* ) Oh, and the best! Went shopping for sneakers! Came back with pumps, which are awesome, and a "nightmare before christmas"-purse. HA! :D Though I still need sneakers! WAAAAAAAAAAA~ (I so hate shopping *sigh*, I never buy what I've been looking for)
* ) Watched season 1 and 2 of "A-Team" in three days. I'm all sore now and need a break. 11 DVD is a lot... *_* Murdock is sooooooooooo cool!!!! YAY for psychotic guys.
* ) I also got lots of praise for my new karaoke for Naruto Shippuuden. Seems like everyone liked it. Going to upload a cut for everyone here as soon as I have time.

Okay. that's it for now. It's late (nearly 7am here) and I still need to go to bed, so off I go!

BYE

First HaroRanger Release.... YAY?!

Sorry to be late on my post. Again...
My notebook kinda freaked and I had to format my hdd and reinstall everything, which sounds easy but is hard if you don't have any drivers at all.
Well, I somehow managed to fix everything - as you can see, since I'm writing again.

I still make this short since I'm really tired.
HaroRangers released one of my works. Tommy heavenly/february6 starring in her band with which she actually startedt out first: The Brilliant Green - sono speedo de.
This isn't the first video by BuriGuri I did, but it's definitly the first video I ever did for HaroRangers. Since Drazic seems to like my work I'm going to get some other new songs too, though first I've got to get some things done since... tammdaratamm... Kumama and Stiltzkin are back from Japan (earlier than I thought) and I've got to finish the new videos I've started for Mognet.
Well. These video effects are pretty new, since I never actually did them before - YAY!

Okay... I'm tired and lacking of finess so I just cut it short here and say goodnight.
I'll come back soon!

I'm alive...

Just a short notice that I'm still save and sound. The past two week were really busy with lots of friends being over and going out, Doing some research in the university library and preparing stuff for classes.

I'm also working on a lot of new videos. Actually finished 3 new ones for mognet, but since kumama isn't around they're pending now. Well, might as well work on some more.
Yesterday I decide to go on a break soon. Probably not this month or the next but I think I'll take my leave in july when I'm workingin Frankfurt, Germany. Well, we'll see. I think I'm a little exhausted from all the work I've been doing the last months. I#m just a little stressed out and mentally exhausted.
You know when I first noticed that something was wrong? When I started copying effects I already did for a pv and thought the effect was nice for the other video too, again. This is a point in my working carreer, that I can't accept so I'm going to take my leave for some time. But first I'll get some more of the pending projects out of my queue - the ones where I already know what effects I want to use! HA!!!
Since I still have some of them lying around I'll probably really need till july, till I finish them. maa, ii jan~
It'll work out somehow.

As you can see on the right, I've been busy changing the bar. I finally added the last.fm programm where you can see what I'm currently listening too, in near real time. hehe. this is really nifty but i really needed some time to get used to it.
My musical taste is really diffrent to what I'm currently releasing, right?
Oh well. I'm really more the old school rocker. Ulfuls, Southern all Stars, Kishidan, The Yellow Monkeys oh and a lot of Natsukawa Rimi and Kokia *laugh*. I hope to be able to release more videos of these groups at some time.
Well, that's it for now. See ya around! And thanks for stopping by~

Tsunami is Victory!

I hate it!! You want to know what?
That I'm too busy to write here. Again, sorry about being late to post stuff about my life and my work.
This time again I'm going to tell you about the last two videos that got released early last week. I think my work is much more interesting that what I have to tell you about my life. Again, that's just what I think.

Anyway!
My latest two videos... okay were to start?
Ah right, here. There you go.H!F released "The Bitch", which is my lovely synonym for one of my latest videos. I could still slap it around for being sucht a bitch to work on but I eventually finished it and now it's done and released. I'm talking about Morning Musume - Go Girl! Koi no Victory, one of the first Momosu songs I ever saw or heard of. It's pretty amazing that it's already a reaaaaaaaaally old song compared to some other stuff. Nevertheless I really hated to do it. As I wrote in one of the previous posts (where I didn't exactly say which video I was working on, but just that it was a bitch to work on) I already did this video once, so I had major problems in figuring out a new effect which included the instructions I got before I started on it. In the end I think it turned out pretty nicely. We decided on using diffrent colors for the diffrent groups which origined in the style of their clothing. If you look closely you'll see that some girls have a yellow, white, red or blue theme to their clothes. This is what we worked with. Most of the time it doesn't fit to the Close-up, but that's not our fault, but the fault of the people who made that video. *lol* Anyway. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as everyone else - except me - did.

Okay. Let's look at the other video. We're talking about one of Mognet's and my favorites. Southern All-Stars - Tsunami is one awesome song. Check it out and ... look at the hillarious hairstyle Kuwata has.When I first saw the video a few weeks ago (I knew the song long before that and actually know lots of lyrics by heart from this group, but I don't know any videos) I was acutally stunned. It was so pretty and so completely diffrent to what I thought it would look like. Sometimes I forget that these songs are really, really, reaaaaaaaally old. Anyway. This song had two conditions which Kumama told me before I even started. First: She wanted it to look like falling rain and rippling water. Second: She wanted "wind". Okay. So how do you do those two elemental effects on screen? Guess what? I think I did it. Kumama was jumping all over the place because I hit it right at the first try and we were finally able to release this awesome song.

Now she and Stiltzkin are off to japan for the next weeks, so I won't post any new video releases for Mognet. I'll see you later then, oh and please come by. I'm sure I'm going to write or rant some more about other stupid videos and effects.

As always THANKS to everyone who helped with these videos and answered to my stupid questions!
Oh and... torrents are on the retrospective sites which means Hello!Online for H!F and Mognet for ... uhm.. Mognet?

See ya!

Grass and Sakura?

Wow, has it been 3 days already? And can you believe another 2 of my works were released? No? Me neither.
Anyway, it's true. My two videos have been released and again I'm too late to comment on them. Shame on me but I was quite busy with another of my projects so bear with me please.
I'll make this a short entry since I don't have to say much about both videos.
The first one was a DVD-re-release of a PV I did for mognet almost 3 years ago and it hasn't changed that much. It's called Kaera Kimura - Real Life Real Heart. We slighly worked on the effects (because now I actually know how to do random moves which I didn't when I did that video first) but it basically remains the same. The font of the translation changed and we added kanji to it. This video was only released in h264 as we already did the Xvid version in 2005.The other video was a special request by Kumama. Kumama and Stiltzkin (both are my boss' at Mognet) are big lovers of a series called "Sakura Taisen", which had many diffrent releases for diffrent genres. I actually know about an anime, a live-action, shows on theaters, games and probably a lot more. Another thing there is in the Sakura Taisen theme is a cafe which will be closing its doors at the end of this month after over 10 years of business (if I remember right). And guess what? Yes! It closes right before she's able to get there. She's quite devasteted about it. So to celebrate the spring with it's Sakura event and in memory of the Sakura Taisen cafe we releaed the live-action dance instruction PV called Yokoyama Chisa - Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan.
Note the platform shoes Ogami's wearing (the guy in trousers) to fit the high of Yokoyama Chisa.
The effect itself is fairly simple. Which cost a lot of time was the drawing of the sakura flower pedals and the strange ornament on Chisa's Kimono jacket, which are both used in the background of the effect.
Well please enjoy both videos.As always the torrent are available for a short time on Mognet's Torrent Page. If you have some time please leave us some comments via the feedback from on the left bottom side of our page.

okay... this entry got bigger than I thought. Anyway. Have fun! Bye~

Happy Easter!

Well yeah, today it's sunday which means: HAPPY EASTER to you all!
Did you get lots of eggs and chocolate? Maybe something else? I'd really love to have easter with lots of cookies, chocolate, maybe some candy and maybe a book too. But unfortunately I don't get an easter nest this year.
I kinda woke up a little late which is basically due to me being out till the early morning hours with friends. We had lots of fun, but I'm really really REALLY tired now.
Going to clean up the kitchen and making something to eat. Hopefully I can finish some stuff after that.


:D bubye~

Chatmonchy

This month seems to be a really busy one. Again one of my works is going to be releaed, and this time I'm ahead of the release! HA!!!!
This time it's going to be CHATMONCHY - joshi tachi ni asu wa nai (女子たちに明日はない) and is the bands 4th single. The genre of this band is definitly pop-rock while probably having been influenced by Whiteberry or Judy and Mary. Anyway.... The effects are fairly simple but fitting nontheless. A friend said this one was "a really fitting effect for an awesome song. And even though it seems like an easy effect it's matching the beat and style of the concept." Well, thanks pal! Haha!

This one was done on a request by my timer Lailu, who really loved the song and so we did it. :) I hope you'll like it as much as Lailu and me!
You can find the torrent links on Mognets torrent page!
See ya again!

PS: I finished this fu**ing other pv yesterday... god, I really hated it!

three-some!

After yesterdays aweful day -- goooosh I was down in a blaaaaaaaaaaaaaack hole -- I was able to finish some stuff today.
First thing in the morning I had to go to the hospital with my granny since she had to be there at 9am and we didn't want her to go alone.
Since I only had to sit around and wait I brought a book with me and finished awesome 42 pages in less than 1 1/2 hours. I only had trouble standing and sitting after those really really uncomfortable chairs in the ambulance... *sigh*
Anyway. Since I only had about 3 hours worth of sleep we both took a nap after we came back home. Later that afternoon, when my granny was finally going home, I started the comp and began to work on some videos which were lying around.

After about 8 hours later and 3 karaoke effects it's now nearly 1am and I'm really tired again. I'll probably go and read a little but then go to slep to wake up early tomorrow morning.
so :) that's it for today.

Have a nice sleep!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Oh... This day of the year again. I actually thought about posting earlier but then a friend came over and later that evening my granny and aunt. When my aunt was fed and happy again she asked me what day today is and I kinda was like ... "uh, well, wednesday?" but actually today is my late mothers birthday. I didn't forget about it. I just wasn't comfortable to talk about it. Yes... Today would have been her 47th birthday (née 1961, † 2003). She died 5 years ago... and it still seems like it was yesterday. I remember the day itself but nothing of the 1 1/2 years afterwards. Amazing how your brain can just shut down to prevent further pain.

Looking back I can savely say: This was the hardest time I ever had in my life (...till now).


...



..



.


Well... but today isn't her obit but her birthday.
Happy Birthday, Mom. Whereever you are now and whatever you do. Thanks for everything. I love you.

I say: "FIRE!"

"Fire!!!!" that's the operative word for this little piece of art! HA!.
Well at least, that's what I think. I finally had the chance to work with an effect that simulates a burning fire. I've been working on this for over half a year now and just recently was able to complete the effect. And now i've found a PV to use it with. HA! We're talking about one of my favourite Morning Musume Songs "Iroppoi Jirettai". It was the first Video to feature new Member Koharu Kusumi (which I can't stand at all, by the way). I really love how they play with the spanish fire of passion *LOL*

Hello!Fansubs released this video a few hours ago, and why the hell am I always behind my releases! DANGIT!
Anyway...
I really want to share this with you so I'm going to post screenshots AND a video cut from the video, oh ... and here are the links to the video torrent. Again... you probably have to register on the website to use the torrents :P sorry!
PV link (Xvid)

FLOW and the End of Momobin

Hey there!
Again, one of my works was relaesed and here's the update info.
Mognet releases the next FLOW vid in our collection, this time with a surprisingly awesome song which some of you might recognise as the opening to the anime "Eureka Seven". Since Kumama is such a big fan of the series we certainly had to do it... no question in that! And I really loved to work on it. This was one of the works were we actually had an already finished effect which Kumama loved so much that she asked me to copy it as best as I can - which I did. But since I don't like to just copy something without some creation of my own I slightly altered the effects to fit our purposes, to claim it as my creation and to satisfy Kumama.So this is the screencap of the finished video we released this morning (american time :P): FLOW's DAYS.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this video as much as we do... and to conclude this post I'll just post the release comment from kumama! Thanks for reading, watching and your interest of course!

Oh, before I forget it... here's the link to the Dual-Audio Torrent! PV link

Have you ever had a song you just couldn't get out of your head for like, months? Well that happens to us a lot, and that's how we end up with so many PV releases! Karaoke is the best medicine. Today we bring you Flow's "Days", which is not only an awesome song and video but also served as the opening theme to the anime "Eureka Seven"! This is also a dual audio release, so you can challenge yourself and sing along in an attempt to get this song out of your head! It hasn't worked for us, but maybe it will for you! Enjoy!

Oh, and check out our finished Momobin anime series. We're happy to finally conclude the show with it's 24th episode. It certainly took us really long to finish it up!

Double-Releases are a Bitch!

Hey folks!

Tell you what? Releasing a video twice with diffrent effects for diffrent groups is a bitch!!!!
I've been working all day on this PV for H!F, which I already did onces for my german PV group. But since H!F wants diffrent effects I'm doing it all over again - which isn't that bad actually. The thing is I'm re-doing effects I already did onces and really liked back then. And now I'm doing totally diffrent effects and it just doesn't really work out. It's now 30 minuts after midnight and I'm working on this shit since I woke up this morning which was around midday. I did 4 diffrent versions while 3 of them were total failures and I started anew every time.
Finally I've got it nearly as I had envisoned it... well okay. No, scratch that. they are completely diffrent but they still look fine and SC seems to be okay with them! GOD, YES!
Well, anyway. I hope to finish them soon.

But I also have good news! I finally found an editor to work on the translation for the german releases! YES! I had a really good Editor a few weeks ago but since about a month I'm always running behind him and trying to catch his attention to finish the stuff I've been waiting for. I'm nearly out of releases - well okay, I AM out of releases - and desperatly need new stuff! I finally got ahold of cYcLoNe (a friend of mine who already worked with me in anime fansubs) and he finished all the pending edits in less than 4 hours!! YOOOOOOOOSHHA! Finally new edits which results in new stuff to encode!! HAHA.... skarloc will hate me for the work he's getting now... but XD HA! I'm so happy!
Thanks again cYcLoNe!!!

Today I also grabbed my new package from the post office in which I finally received my copy of Christine Feehan's Dark Hunger Manga (which looks nice, but isn't quite my style - had to have it anyway, since I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan!!!!) and my copy of "Shifters", an anthology with Angela Knight, Lora Leigh, Virginia Kantra and Alyssa Day. Can't wait to read it... which I will start in a few minutes ^^ HA!

Well.. that's it for today! oh wait! just a quick thought about yesterday! Was watching "horton hears a who!" at the cinema! AWEsome fun! XD byeee~

The Ring and White Day!

We have a lot of PVs on our site that are funny, or cute, or just plain cool. But we sure don't have many that are creepy! Well, we decided to fix that and today we bring you Hayashibara Megumi's "asai wa hi". It was filmed at a photo shoot for the voice actress/idol, but to us it just looks like something out of "The Ring"!! See for yourself!

This was the comment provided by Kumama when we released my work on Megumi Hayashibara's "asai wa hi" on Mognet like two days ago. Funny thing is, she said the same when I first proposed the project to her and she was like really creeped out and loved it at the same time. The effect in itself is just a lot of movement in a small space around the original position in the time of the sung syllable.
Here's the link to the Torrent release. I can't quarantee that it'll be active for a long time to come, so hurry up if you want it: PV link

And just yesterday another one of my works was released. This one in celebration of White Day, a japanese holiday celebrated on march 14th. It's basically the counter part to valentine's day where the girls gives a present to boys. On White's Day the boys give back presents to the girls either in chocolate or other goodies.Anyway. We decided on releasing the candy-shock video "Candy Babe" by Kawabe Chieco, which I wanted to do for quite some time now. It's actually a request by one of my best friends Stefan who really adores Chieco, after he saw her in several diffrent acting roles and heared some of her songs. It's kind of my present to him, though if we'd be politically correct it should have been released on valentines day. ma~ ii jan. I think it's nice for White's Day and I really adore this video so who cares when it actually gets released. Might as well be... yesterday? ^^ okay. I'm late again on writing about my stuff being released. Sorry about that.
The effect for this one was fairly easy. It's just some rocking up and down again. The interessting part are the 3 diffrent colors in it and the flowwers flying off them. I think it fits pretty well and I used the colors of her dress which are light green, yellow and pink, complemented with white, black and grey to fith the video.

Kumama's comment on the release:

Today is White Day! And in honor of that, we're bringing you Kawabe Chieco's infectious "Candy Baby"! Watch as Chieco tries her very best to be cute! I don't think she pulls it off, but that's my opinion. Either way the song is quite cute and is bound to get stuck in your head today! Enjoy!
(...)I hope you guys are remembering to give back what you received last month! Our poor staff member squarebox says he'll be broke from all the chocolate he has to give! Hang in there buddy!

Here's the link to Candy Babe. Again I don't know how long it'll be active: PV link

Prinny berichtet: Der »Keller«

This is for my german readers:

^^ Nach rumstöbern auf Youtube bin auf diesen Beitrag gestoßen und dachte mir echt nur "WTF". Prinny berichtet aus dem "Keller", von Kellerkindern und der verzweifelten Natur von Emos.

Natürlich distanziere ich mich vom Inhalt, allerdings dachte ich, dass es super lustig ist und möchte es hier posten.
XD viel Spaß!

Manga Maniac AMV

Browsing YouTube a few days back a found this and thought it was hilarious. :)

The BLINK!

Yesterday was pretty weird. To make a long story short... I made a looooooooooong blink - like 8 hours long.

I slept through the night, was in bed and waited to go to my classes at university the same evening and was reading a book in my bed. It was around 12am when I last looked at the clock and class should start around 5pm so I still had some time left to do something. The book was really interesting so I never thought I'd fall asleep while reading. But when I next looked at the alarm the clock showed 8pm!!! O_O which means: I did a veeeeeeeeeeery long blink and slept for some hours. I never thought I'd fall asleep while reading (I never did that before) and when I woke up my aunt was at the door, coming in from a long day to sleep here. The funny thing is, after a short chat I went back to sleep and slept through the whole night again. In total I slept like 16 hours and I missed classes yesterday which isn't a big problem but kinda troubles me.

Now I'm up and around since 5am and did some work on my comp but while I'm a little tired again I'm going to do some more reading and go to bed early again. Tomorrow I have classes again and I don't want to miss them!
Well, see ya again~
