Suga Shikao - Natsukage PV

Suga Shikao - Natsukage (34.4MB, for PSP/Quicktime)

Sorry for the lack of update in the past few days but I'm a bit tired lately. But rest assured, a few more reviews are coming soon. Before that though, I may as well start with this PV. Natsukage is one of the few PVs included in Suga Shikao's new album, Parade. Unfortunately the PV is pretty plain, featuring only Suga Shikao singing the song. In addition to this, the majority of the scenes seem to be repeated over and over again. Having said that, it's not a bad song by any stretch of imagination. It also happens to be the insert song for episode 7 of Honey and Clover II. It was the song that was used when Morita family had to leave their home and go to the city. It's really interesting to see the contrast between this song and Gogo no Parade. It makes me wonder if different song represents Suga's different mood when he wrote each one.

Kanji/Kana version

言葉が　今詰まってしまったら
僕等の夏は　ここで終わってしまいそう
上手に笑えてる自信なんか
ある訳ないのに...でも笑った

踏み潰したカカトを　履き直したら
溜息をぐっと飲み込んで　歩き出そう

夕暮れを抜けていく風は　秋の匂いを含んでいる
ずっと今日と同じ日々が　願わなくても　続くと思ってた...

開けっ放しの窓の向こう側で
歪んだサイレンの音がしている
どれくらいの速度で　いま
未来に向かって歩いているんだろう？

僕等が生きていく理由なんて
きっとちっぽけな答えしかないって気がするんだ

ねえ　もし叶うなら　どんな願いをひとつ選ぶと思う？
ずっと思いめぐらしていたら　足下までもう夜が来ていた

あの日　スタートの合図で　走り出してしまった僕等に
いまさら　もう　わざとらしいゴールなんかなくてもいい

もし叶うなら　どんな願いをひとつ選ぶと思う？
ずっと思いめぐらしていたら　足下までもう夜が来ていた\

Romaji version

Kotoba ga ima tsumatte shimattara
Bokura no natsu wa koko de owatte shimaisou
Jouzu ni waraeteru jishin nanka
Aru wake nai no ni...demo waratta

Fumitsubushita kakato wo hakinaoshitara
Tameiki wo gutto nomikonde arukidasou

Yuugure wo nuketeiku kaze wa aki no nioi wo fukundeiru
Zutto kyou to onaji hibi ga negawanakute mo tsudzuku to omotteta...

Akebbanashi no mado no mukou gawa de
Yuganda sairen no oto ga shiteiru
Dore kurai no sokudou de ima
Mirai ni mukatte aruite irun darou?

Bokura ga ikiteiku riyuu nante
Kitto chippokena kotae shikanaitte ki ga surun da

Nee, moshi kanaunara donna negai wo hitotsu erabu to omou?
Zutto omoi megurashiteitara ashimoto made mou yoru ga kiteita

Ano hi sutaato no aizu de hashiri dashite shimatta bokura ni
Ima sara mou wazatorashii gooru nanka nakutemo ii

Moshi kanau nara donna negai wo hitotsu erabu to omou?
Zutto omoi megurashiteitara ashimoto made mou yoru ga kiteita

Suga Shikao is easily becoming one of my favorite artists...been listening to all his albums and it's been great...right now, I'm pretty hooked to his latest single,Go Go no Parade.

Garten...btw....I highly recommend you resume on XXXHOLiC....the ep you wanted...the houzuki ep...that's on ep 18...but what impress me animation wise was ep 19....which was utterly hilarious even though it was a filler ep. From ep 20+, It resumes back to the story on the later volumes...also had no idea that the series was strecthed to 32 eps.

I am resuming xxxHOLiC. I'm sorry that I'm a bit slow about it though. I'm trying to remedy the situation as best as I can but there are times when I'm just so tired that I am not motivated to write anything.

Thanks to H&C for introducing me two awsome artistis (Suga Shikao and Spitz).

And Gogo no Paradise single is awsome, it took me a few minutes to like it, but now I'm in love with it. Especially the live versions of '19sai' and 'Manatsu no Yoru no Yume'

Garten- Excuse me for asking this, but I cannot play your videos for some reason. I dowloaded one of them and in the folder one of them had the realplayer icon so it then directed me to download the latest version of that. Then after I did that the icon became two seperate files. I have quicktime and it does not work. Suggestion?

I just read you're Read Me file and I tried what you said and it does not work either. Thanks in advance if you respond.

I don't understand what you meant by the file turned into two seperate files. But the file is originally a zip file so you need to unzip it first before playing it. Use winzip (http://www.winzip.com). Once you unzip it, you should be able to see 3 files: 1 video file, 1 THM file (only if you have PSP), and one READ ME file.

From what you said, your computer probably used RealPlayer to play Quicktime/Quicktime encoded video. Normally this would work for a normal Quicktime video but since this is a PSP file, you really need to use the latest Quicktime video to play it. If you haven't got Quicktime installed, go to http://www.quicktime.com and download one for free.

Once you have it, you have to open Quicktime and then go File - Open File and look for the file you want to open (the one with .MP4 extension).
