From the time we met you were dear to me
(kimi to ita kono basho de)

Those seasons keeps on changing in my memories
(mata kisetsu wa toori sugite)

The night sky which I gazed into, would never seem to end
(miageta yozora ni wa kawaranai)

Even then you woke me up with a smile
(ano hi no kimi ga warau)

Now I can't erase
(kesenakute)

The image of your face
(hakanasugite)

Screaming out your name with every beat of my heart
(kimi no na wo sakebi tsuzuketa)

Can you see the stars?
(itoshikute)

You're close, but still so far
(mata aitakute)

Can you feel my voice breathing life into you?
(boku no koe kikoemasu ka?)

Sakura, hear you falling blossoms whisper in the air
(sakura chiru hanabira tsukamaete)

Every night, I embraced you Through your sorrows
(kimi no kakera dakishimeta)

Namida, doesn't matter how much I try to forget
(namida dore dake kazoete mite mo)

How much I try to forget flowers to me
(ano hi wa modoranai)

miagereba samishi sou na
(When I look up, the starry sky fluttering with petals seems lonely)

mai chiru hoshizora dakishime
(I embrace it and)

nido to futari hanarenai you ni
(so that the two of us will never be parted again)

kimi no ashimoto terasu yo
(I'll light the ground at your feet)

todoki sou de
(Almost,)

todokanakute
(but never reaching)

dore dake te wo nobashite mo
(No matter how far I reach out my hand)

toosugite
(Too far away)

koware sou de
(About to break)

boku no namida miemasu ka?
(Can you see my tears?)

sakura chiru hanabira tsukamaete
(Sakura fall, I caught a petal)

kimi no kakera dakishimeta
(embracing a piece of you)

namida dore dake kazoete mite mo
(Tears, no matter how many of them I count)

ano hi wa modoranai
(that day will not return)

itsuka aeru kara
(We can meet again someday)

sono hi made wasurenai de ne
(so remember me until then)

sakura chiru hanabira tsukamaete
(Sakura fall, I caught a petal)

kimi no kakera dakishimeta
(embracing a piece of you)

namida dore dake kazoete mite mo
(Tears, no matter how many of them I count)

ano hi wa modoranai
(that day will not return)

sakura chiru hanabira tsukamaete

(itoshikute mata aitakute)

kimi no kakera dakishimeta

(kimi no kakera dakishimeta)

namida dore dake kazoete mite mo

(itoshikute mata aitakute)

ano hi wa modoranai

(boku no koe kikoemasu ka?)

Song: Sakura, Chiru (Sakura, Falling)
Artist & Lyrics: Gackt feat. Yohio

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How many time I have been listening to this song and never grew sick of it. Gackt-san voice was really haunting and what I love most is the collaboration with Yohio. Thanks to Ruki, whose mobile phone tone was this song and it got stuck in my brain. I have to ask him for the song despite we are not that close, to begin with, but come to think about it, this song is also the start of our friendship in the university.

Although Ruki is the exchange student from Japan but he really could converse fluently in the Korean language. I, on the other hand, was a worry on how to talk to him, in Japanese? English? My English was not that strong let alone Japanese. The funny part of it was I could understand their conversation very well.

The song has inspired me to begin sketching the background scene for my next assignment. The theme will be Season and I have to come up with plots of short animation to be presented to the class. The title is rather short but must have a strong meaning behind it and that was not an easy task. It was for the per semester grading, and I must come up with a creative storyline and original characters to make it more stands out.

After the class ended for the day, I hurry to pack my stuff, dump it all in the haversack and head it out to the library. I have the winning image in my mind but still, need to do some research before finalising the storyline.

"Yah, I'll be at the library doing research. You want to join me?" - texting my bestie, Kwang Hee.

My best guy friend I had in the whole world. Without him, my life is nothing like black and white TV screen. My ever first encounter with him was during the school orientation. I was simply a loner on the first day and I have yet to make any friends. He was there during that time, seated beside me during the Principal welcome speech. He just starts commenting about the principal long winding speech and bitching about him. From there, we just talk and click as if we know each other for a very long time.

Most of the students might be around here as they quickly became friends or perhaps from same high school, lucky them. As for me, I was the odd Busan girl who left her hometown to pursue her study in the Seoul.

Most of my friends were lucky enough to enter Busan University. I wasn't as lucky as them. I didn't manage to go through the first interview as the expectation were high and the course quota was limited. Little did I know, my high school art teacher have put me in his recommendation to Hongik University and got accepted with the scholarship. I can't thank him enough.

"Ya bitch, what are you in deep thought about?" A familiar voice, Kwang Hee appeared from nowhere.

"Ahh you must be thinking about him, is it? Aisshh, why don't you just go and talk to him, make a friend?"

"Ya, who am I thinking of? Come on get your ass to the library and start finding the material. I need to rush to work later!" I pushed him into the library.
