GreenwavesInactive

Alright then, guys, I think I've given plenty of time. I'm officially leaving this account permanently. I won't be coming back here, so if you send me a message here, I won't reply. I hope everyone had enough time to ask for my new account. Thanks for all the support here, and I'll see everyone on my new account!

Okay, since a lot more than expected said they'd message me for my new dA account, I've decided to go ahead and make one. So, if you want it, go ahead and send me a note. I'll probably be leaving this account permanently either sometime late this week or early next week, just so you know. After that, you won't be able to contact me on here.

So the response to my deactivation announcement has pretty much been "I can't get on tumblr!" Everyone has different reasons, but for the most part, I'd be giving up contact with a good chunk of my watchers. I still want to leave this account and all the crap that has built up with it behind, but here are a couple of things I'm considering:

• Leaving this account up as an inactive account. I have a ton of things on here (including stuff that I have saved in my sta.sh), and it would be a pain to move everything somewhere else (especially the really old things). So, I'm thinking about just renaming this account as an inactive account so that all my stuff is still here for you. That way, you don't have to find all my stuff again elsewhere.
• Making a new deviantArt account. I know I said I was done with the crap on here, but if I just moved to a fresh account, 50% of that crap would be gone. I'd still have to deal with the dA staff that I dislike so much, as well as all the changes, but there are things on dA that are easier than tumblr (or my other option, pixiv.)

The first thing is probably what I'm going to end up doing regardless, but the second thing I'm a little hesitant on. I wouldn't want to leave a link here to my new account because I'm trying to get away from some crap, so I'd be asking people to message me for my new dA. So, I'm putting up a poll. The question is, if I were to make a new account, how many people would actually message me for it?

Here's the poll if you want to answer: greenwaves31.deviantart.com/jo…

You might think this is a bit extreme, but really this whole thing with the logo is just the straw that broke the camel's back. I could get over it, even if it's beyond pretentious, but I've seriously gotten sick and tired of deviantArt. The staff has been tremendously rude in the past, the community is mostly garbage, art theft runs rampant, and now even their logo is possible art theft. I'm seriously ready to rage quit. Wouldn't have before since I used this site so much, but now I've pretty much moved to tumblr. So I guess I'll take all my MMD work and junk over there. *sigh* It's a pity since I did have fun memories of this site but...yeah, I'm just sick of all the bullcrap.

Feel free to follow my tumblr, I guess: greenwaves31.tumblr.com/

I'll be closing sometime next week so I have time to move everything, unless something serious happens to stop me. I just don't see any real reason to stick around if I barely use dA anymore. There's nothing keeping me here, so it's just become a waste of time.

So, for whatever reason, I decided to sit down and compile a list of all the songs that use the "Dear You" melody in them (and actually have lyrics). While doing that, I remembered that Takano and Satoshi both had fanmade versions. Or rather, I thought they did, but Satoshi's Dear You -Suffocate- really was just a cover of the original "you" vocal. Then, I happened to spot this beautiful thing on nicovideo. I immediately felt compelled to try and translate it...but at some points I really couldn't understand what he was saying. But then miracle of miracles, I found the Japanese lyrics and voila. This is what you have. (I actually really like these lyrics! They're spectacular! Kudos to yonji on this one.) Keep in mind that I worked very hard on this translation all by myself and I don't actually give a frick what you do with it. G'head and use it. I'm just sharing for anyone else who's interested, so there you have it.

Anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka?
Itsude mo egao de kurashite masu ka?

Nasakenai boku o yurushite kuremasu ka?
Min'na wo kanashima sete iru boku wo...
Sukuwa renu yami wo sasu kokoro no hikari ga
Min'na ni furisosogimasu yō ni

Kimi wo mamoru to kimeta hi kara  Sonotame ni tatakatte kita
Boku no oku ni yadoru tsumi wo  Oshikomete kokoro itamukedo
Ima mo yume wo tsuranuku tame ni
Boku wa aete oni to naru

Sekai de tada hitori taisetsuna kimi wo
Dare ni mo kowasa se wa shinai kara
Ima wa boku no hata de furuete ite mo
Itsuka wa waratte arukeru you ni

Ikite iku no ni tsukareta hi mo
Soba ni ite genki o kureta
Sukitouru kimi no egao mo
Oni no kao ni miete ita

Kon'nanimo yasashiku tsutsunde kureta no ni
Kokoro ga kowaresou ni naru toki mo

Kimi to tsunagaru kibou no kakera

Anata wa ima doko de nani wo shite imasu ka?
Boku wa ima soba ni irarenai keredo
Ima demo yume ni miru ano hi no egao ga
Kokoro no oku de hikaru takara mono

English:

Where are you now, what are you doing?
At any time, do you live with a smile?

Will you forgive miserable me?
Me, who caused everyone grief...
The light from that point in the heart can save you from unexpected darkness
As it shines on everyone

From the day that I decided to protect you, that's what I've been fighting for
This sin is tucked at the back of my aching heart
Now, in order to pierce that dream
I dare the demons

You are the only important person in this world
I will not allow anyone to break you
Even though now I'm trembling by your side
Someday we will laugh as we walk

The day I grew tired of living
Having you around gave me energy
Your transparent smile also
Has seen the face of a demon

Even though it was wrapped so gently
My heart also felt like it would break
The last one standing will be entrusted with my wish
Fragments of hope leading to you

Where are you now, what are you doing?
Now I can't be beside you to help you
Still, in my dreams I see your smile from that day
A treasure that shines in the back of my heart
