MILESTONE POST (HetaOni Fanart Timez)

Post number 100, people. I am very proud. In celebration of this, this post will basically be a HetaOni fanart dump. 'Cause, you know, you can never have too much HetaOni fanart. (Scroll down for fanartz btw. I like to babble, and I've done quite a bit of babbling before the fanart here)

I'm attempting to get Phantomess to watch HetaOni. It's always awkward to advertise. It's like "yeah so, don't judge until you get to episode 4 or so... I mean, the alien is kinda narm, and the character portraits are bad, and at first it's a bit boring, but... just... stick with it" x3

Also, I FOUND ANOTHER TRACK. For those who downloaded the zip archive of HetaOni tracks from MediaFire, the track titled 'Italy' is actually 'Lost in Hopelessness' by Yusuke Tsutsumi. You can listen to and buy it here. Truthfully, I didn't find this one at all... I found the link on this site while looking up moar fanartz. But, you know, it was found by someone, and that's what matters.
I am one step closer to having all my HetaOni tracks titled correctly.
EDIT: AND ANOTHER ONE. It's so much easier now that I have the ripped MP3's to compare with. In the zip folder there is a track called "Support From the Outside". The original is called 'Sin a Sin' and can be downloaded here.
My Japanese is pretty limited, but I believe the main composers of the site are 中村イネ and オリィヴ. That said, I think you should credit the artist as 'Green Tone' which is the name of the website.
EDIT2: windsphere.biz also has some tracks that were used in HetaOni. Now, I'm a bit perplexed by this. There are two tracks in the zip folder that sound almost identical to me. I can't tell the difference at all. Anyway, these would be the tracks titled 'Memories' and 'Somewhere You Want to Be'. They sound very similar to Call which you can find here. The next track... I'm not a hundred percent sure about. LiLAppleX uploaded 'Fairy Taler' as being from HetaOni, however this song doesn't appear to have been included in the zip file... hm. The song does sound familiar to me, though. Regardless, both these tracks should be credited to Windsphere. Also, I didn't technically find these ones myself. All the work was done by LiLAppleX on Youtube.
Okay, I've just gone and raided the rest of LiLAppleX's video's to see what else she's discovered. The track titled 'Magic' in the zip is actually the song 'Eden' which is also composed by Yusuke Tsutsumi. LiLAppleX has also uploaded the song 'Cyber Prisoner' by 'Senses Circuit'. I haven't found the song on that website yet, but I will keep looking. The beginning sounds an awful lot like the song labeled 'Battle 2' in the zip folder, but they aren't identical.

Anyway, moving on, you may now have a heap of fanart. YAY. I haven't made any of these. Most of them I found on DeviantArt and Google images. You should be able to click on the image to see a full size version

"Try saying my name."

"R-Romano..."
"No! Say my full name!"
"...Italia. Italia Roma..no..."
"Yeah. That's right. I'm Italy, too. I don't know everything you remember, but I do plan on carrying at least a little of that burden on my shoulders."

HetaOni OST

I am really excited.
After so long, it seems we're able to download the HetaOni soundtrack.

LilAppleX on Youtube has uploaded a few tracks, if anyone else wants to go listen.
Also, A very nice soul from the HetaOni Facebook page has uploaded the OST in two parts on MediaFire. Looks like everyone decided to upload the OST on the 15th of this month O_O
Expect the next couple of posts to be unintelligible babble about HetaOni, guys.

There's a bit of confusion as to what the titles are. Chances are, a lot of the titles will be wrong as the tracks have been ripped from the Youtube videos and named after the various scenes they played in.

I'd been looking for these songs on the sites that the HetaOni creator credited, but... well, there's a lot of sites, most of them not in English, and there were a lot of tracks to sift through... and I kinda failed at finding them.

Also, just as proof that my searching was not completely for naught, if you download the OST from MediaFire there's a track that's titled 'Family'. The original version is by Presence of Music and is found here. Scroll down for the track called 'Vanity' ^_^ I'll continue searching for the other tracks because I like to have the correct artists labeled in my library, and also because the ripped tracks occasionally have sound effects over the top of them.

I was going to go to bed an hour ago, but ended up downloading these tracks and looking up HetaOni fanart. Whoops. I can't help it though. I've been wanting this soundtrack for ages. ♥

This series is full of clock and number motifs. And blood, obv. What do you expect from a horror RPG?

I think I'm way too excited about this. But, like, it's HetaOni!!! You cannot blame me for this. The songs used are some of the saddest and most bittersweet tracks I have ever heard. Depending on the song, you don't know whether to smile slightly or just burst into tears. Maybe both? (Unless you're listening to one of the actual horror tracks. Then you'll probably just want to hide under a blanket ^_^)

My entire week has improved ever so slightly because of this.

I Be Changing

Changing my sleeping patterns, anyway. Less than a year ago I would go to bed around midnight on school nights, and maybe 2 am on weekends. School days I'd wake up 15 minutes before going to school (around 7:30-7:45) and on weekends I'd wake up around 10:30 to 11.

I've started going to bed at 8:30.
Well, not quite. I have been playing DS in bed at 8:30. That way, when I do feel tired, I can switch the DS off and sleep immediately. That way I don't end up suffering from mah insomnia so much.

To counter my insomnia, I've started waking up around 4 - 5 am. It makes me more tired come nighttime. I'm more productive in the mornings anyway, so that's okay. I always charge my laptop battery after school so I can used my laptop in the morning. Going to sleep playing Pokemon and waking up to Higurashi seems like a good deal to me.

I like the idea of siestas. I was reading up on Italy, read about siestas and thought "hey, I like this idea".
An afternoon nap is really, really good for you, actually. And I think I'd benefit from it, because God knows how lazy I am by the afternoon. Thing is, it'd be a bit weird if I turned around in class at 1pm and said "sorry guys, gotta siesta" and went to sleep.

Guess I'll have to wait 'till the holidays for my daily nap, then, eh? Uni will be good too. Even if I have class during the afternoon, I'd still have more time to sleep, right?

Also, I love RPG music. It's so... um, atmospheric and, depending on the track, can be upbeat and violent or slow and sad. I really adore it. I've been downloading a bunch of independent RPG OST composer's stuff. It's not pro. It's not used in any 'real' RPG's. But it's just as emotional (if not more so) as a lot of OST's I've listened to.
I'm a dork. It's okay. I'm proud of this.

It's 8:40. Wayy past bedtime. x3 I shall be leaving. Goodnight ^^

Rant #342

I love rants. By the time I've finished I am no longer angry :3 I'm currently ranting with my Hetalia Shimeji's roaming around my desktop, actually. Nothing better than getting mad while watching little chibi Japan's and Romano's climbing around my screen, Y/Y?

Here's an example of mah Shimeji's. Italy is on the ground, Japan is the one falling from the sky~

K, I always rant about my family. I'ma just say one thing; Mother Dearest, calling one of my friends an 'ignorant bitch' is not a nice way to start a conversation. It doesn't win you any points with me. In fact, it makes me rather angry and I would like for you to stop complaining about people you don't even know. Sincerely, your daughter.

Alright. Next point is at my own head. If I am told to learn, say, three words in Japanese, I'm perfectly fine. If I get a list, my brain goes NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and promptly shuts down. This is really unproductive of you, self, and I wish you'd stop this stupid panicking thing you do. Kthx.

My Japan Shimeji is wearing a kimono, and when he crawls along the top of the screen, the kimono slips and shows way too much of his legs. I am so glad it doesn't slip any further.
This is quite awkward. I'm going to put him away and bring Denmark out.

K, Denmark is here in a cool hat. Much better.

D'aww he's sitting next to Romano.

Romano still looks grumpy like the little bitch he is. I absolutely adore him and his cute little angry face though.

Erm, yes, anyway. Moving right along.

Next point is aimed at teachers. I'm in more than one class. As such, I am expected (Denmark just did a flying leap to catch up with Romano who is halfway up my page. Guys that was the coolest thing ever) to do assignments and homework for all of my subjects. Not just yours. Also, I do instrumental of my own free will. Don't get all upset because I miss a lesson due to being sick. That is hardly my fault. Stop stressing out, it's not my problem that you have only a few good players so every little fault we make angers you to no end. Get over yourself. I have plenty to do. If you don't stop pushing me, I'll happily leave. I'm not following music after school. There is no reason for me to continue playing in your bands. So make this year worth my while and stop stressing me out.

Next point: People annoy me.

K, that ain't the story guize. You lot should've known that already x3

If you have a problem with me, or if I've done something... or, hell, if I haven't done something, then tell me.
I don't much like being ignored. Or well, more to the point, spoken to one moment and then totally ignored the next. I think I'm being toyed with.

Dang. My Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OST cover(s) by Zelda Reorchestrated just finished. Dang. Guess I'll go listen to 近藤浩治's original OST's now. LoZ: Majora's Mask sounds good.

The other thing is, erm, anger management, perhaps? I don't like confrontations at the best of times. I think I hate proper arguments because of my mother, actually (I really do love her. I just hate certain things she does...). That's not the point. I just want to say that, you know, there's no need to get riled up over insignificant things. And there's no need to stoop so low as to throw overly-personal insults at each other (Romano just sat down next to Denmark of his own accord!!! Hahaha, despite your angry-face, you need friends too, don't you chibi-Romano~). The way I see it, everyone has their own demons to face right now. Everyone. So none of us need the added stress of being put down during a petty argument.

Lolol this soundtrack is the greatest thing ever. It's so twisted. Like your face. Take that. Bitch. Mmhm.

My Impossible Love Affair (With VG OST's)

I love my video game OST's, or, for those not in the know, original soundtracks. There's something oddly comforting about listening to music from games I absolutely adore, not to mention how nice background tracks actually sound. They're more atmospheric, of course. That's what I love about them. Movie OST's are much the same, but I listen to more VG OST's as I'm more intimately acquainted with video games than I am with movies.
I've managed to find many old and new soundtracks, ranging from the entirety of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack (approx. 200 tracks or so) to the older, simpler Yoshi's Story for N64 (there's less than 15 tracks on that one, I believe. I'm too lazy to go count). I've never played the Earthbound games, but I still got my hands on the Mother 3 soundtrack. Anime OST's are also something I like to collect. I'm working on downloading the Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni soundtrack (both the soundtracks from the anime and the visual novel.)

But I simply cannot find the OST of Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City (City Folk for most of you). I can get some of the main tracks, but not the K.K. Slider tracks or the hourly tunes. I can get most of K.K. Slider's live shows, just not the tracks that play in your house (not that I'm as fond of those, but I'd like them regardless). And I can get the hourly tunes condensed into one track, but not separate tracks. Don't bother looking for the tracks that play when it's raining or during winter; they're even more difficult to find. I can get a handful of them off of Youtube, but that's about all.
It doesn't help that one of the users on Youtube had uploaded quite a few of them, but they were taken down due to copyright issues. I understand the whole copyright thing, but I can't get the soundtrack anywhere else. Not even the official soundtrack seems to feature all the songs, so I'm not even able to get them legally. It's not the first time this has happened, but it's one of the most infuriating. I love AC:CF, especially the music. And I would like a copy to listen to while walking/working/suffering from insomnia. That would indeed be a dream come true.
