My lord, this was such a special video to build... Surely what you're about to watch/listen is more than the sheer sum of the parts and maybe even more to me, long into this moment after coming up with the video, and still it shoots me awed.

Surely many of you who are subscribed to me also follow Koh's uploads, and obviously, so do I.
I'm not good with time, I think it was yesterday... He brought up himself one of the most beautiful Captain Murasa renditions I've set foot up until now... I was really shot mesmerized, that was not only a sweet surprise, that was Captain Murasa. And that was the character, the true antics behind a, once as I rendered, a cheerful, flaky, perhaps a little arrogant persona. And because I was under this impression, it stung ever deeper when I listened to it, granted, being the emotional guy you've probably come to realize now, it definitely made my day there on the spot.

Incidentally, out of the perfect blue and while searching for the song in my library, I retrieved two results from A'... and another with TAM! Oye, TAM's joined up forces with A' to give another intake on A's piano renditions and add delicious violin over it.

And then... this. This ensued.

Y'know, back to one of KakashiMr's uploads, and rather way back behind since he's said it several times and I vividly underline, the violin produces a rather eclectic sound, but "this is how you do it". To me, the screeching, moaning sound of the violin resembles to that of a... cry, wouldn't you agree? It's a heartfelt, emotive lament, the bow scratches the strings and a sea of tears sheds throughout the air. That's the beauty of the violin, the physical tears that won't fly and spread away, are carried into sound and are to now boundlessly roam, free of any physical constraints, to form up the ultimate cry.

Everyone of you is aware of Murasa's dreadful death incident.
Maybe to this day, she's a well-aware youkai with a solid power and ideal, but there's one thing Murasa cannot overcome, the ocean to which she's tied up, the very same ocean of her demise. Will she ever break apart of it? I'll have to let you know, dear viewer, that probably, no, surely, she won't. The physical ocean that ties up to her is nothing but mere metaphor, the physical ground to her cage. The tears that Murasa will shed at the full moon as she gazes into her past memories are an ocean that cannot be crossed even by the strongest of youkais.

When the tide goes up, it eventually dies down.
The tide of life has its ups and downs, too. And surely, the stream lives vibrant colors, and dark, tainted splatters throughout the years.
When there is no life, the tide will stop. The stream will no longer flow and the colors will go astray, the splatters that will never be cleansed.

The daunting memories of a horrible death the unmoving tide will never wash away.


By the by, I went on a did a little fooling with the picture there so as to make it more fitting... or so I think.
Also, I love how the violin sometimes sounds like a boat horn. That's just lovely.

Wow, I love that beautiful description of violins there. So lush and full of detail, I sure fancy these walls of texts you concoct. In fact, KakashiMr here is getting his eyes moist.
