Rinne - "Rondo" Lyrics (Vampire Knight Guilty Op)

Great news! Raserei-hojo from Shoku-Dan informed me that Shoku-Dan translated the Vampire Knight Trailer and made a Karaoke vid out of it! So now you can see the translation not only of the text in the trailer, but also of the song itself. :D

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SZdFnit9us
Veoh: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15790359ry7CzaSN

I transcribed the lyrics so I could post them, because it's a very pretty song. Thank you so much to the wonderful translators at Shoku-Dan for putting this out! Please note that this translation is not mine, does not belong to me, and is merely taken from the wonderful video that Shoku-Dan translated. I very possibly screwed up the Japanese version of the lyrics because I have no idea what I'm typing. So any and all errors in either version are likely all mine, not the original translators.

EDIT: Big thank you to shinigamiami for catching and correcting the transcription errors I made! This is the edited/more correct version now. :)

Rinne – "Rondo"
By On/Off
Translation by Shoku-Dan

English:
One by one, the white rose petals open
That day's recollection is fully cast
Like a road crossed by light, time flows into silence
People who become lost on their short paths are born again.

Your smile dissolved the cloudiness in my heart.
How many pieces are woven like that dream?
Even if the setting sun is enough for you,
Our two fading shadows overlap.

Distance without and limitless depth,
It is truly like destiny in our hands
Grasping again and again; Losing again and again
And so by chance we meet.

The sky longs for blood while the flowers wait for rain.
The night makes tomorrow into tonight,
And that two hearts were one
Was this what you wished so hard for?

One by one, the white rose petals scatter over time.
Our love exists for all eternity.

It's a really nice song, I like it even better now that I know the lyrics. I also find it fun to see which clips they stuck at which moments in the song. I can't help but digress a little and grin at the fact that when Kaname and Zero are up against the tub in the vid, it's the Grasping again and again; Losing again and again... verse, which because of the setting and the line makes me inevitably think of Blood Moon. LOL yes, sorry, one track mind.

Like with this pic / verse from the trailer...



Considering Kaname's holding Zero's throat and Zero's kinda grabbing Kaname back... yeah... ;)

Also love this one:



I know Kaname is actually laying on Yuki's chest there, I believe that's probably the scene right after he almost bites her at the vampire party, but... *grins* being the hopeless fanatic that I am, I can't help but notice that really all you see is the coat and the Day Class uniform... which I can appropriate to a different Day Class student in my mind if I want to. ;)

Okay, sorry, will totally stop my deranged rambling now. :)

Vampire Knight Pictures and a New Theme

Well, I felt it was time for a new theme for my blog, so here it is. I'm calling it my Blood Bonds theme because those red chains on Kaname and Zero just work so well symbolically. :)

Also, thought I'd post up a couple of cool Vampire Knight pictures that I came across recently which I hadn't seen before. They've probably been out for a while, but they were new to me, so I thought I'd share. Alas, I got them off of baidu, so the pages were all in chinese and I don't know who I need to credit as far as scanning goes (I'm thinking some of these must be scans) but thanks to whoever shared them originally!

This one is probably from the VK Novel, and I actually might have seen it before, but I couldn't help posting it because, you know, Kaname and Aido in the same picture, what's not to like? ;)

Kaname and Aido from Vampire Knight

Here's some of our lovely Night Class guys... :)
Seems to me like Kaname looks troubled, or wistful in this picture.
Kain, Kaname, Ichijo and Aido from Vampire Knight

Yuki and Zero looking very classically Vampirish at the moment... :)
Zero and Yuki from Vampire Knight

Zero and Ichiru. This one I'd definately never seen before.
The art is a little so-so, but symbolic the pose is really interesting.
Zero and Ichiru chained together

Okay, well, just thought I'd share those. :)

Blood Moon and VK Fanfic

Just updated my Kaname x Zero story "Blood Moon" :)

I feel like the chapter didn't really make much progress because not a whole lot of time passes in it, but it's hard to find good breaking places sometimes to split the chapters up, so I did my best. :P

Blood Moon has been updated with
Chapter Seventeen: "No Longer Myself"

I actually took the chapter title from the Evanesence song "Surrender" that I posted a while back because it's just SO perfect for this story.

There's a Breaking Benjamin song called "Breathe" that has some fitting verses for this chapter too, especially:

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
Cause I will be the death of you

This will be all over soon
Pour salt into the open wound
Is it over yet?
Let me in

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way
Get away...

Vampire Knight Guilty Trailer

w00t! A trailer for Season Two of the Vampire Knight Anime, now titled Vampire Knight Guilty has been put up on the official website! Watch Trailer Here.

You can also see it on YouTube (although in lower quality) here.

Vampire Knight Guilty Poster - Vampire Knight Anime Season Two

The trailer features the new Opening theme I believe: "Rondo" by ON/OFF. The new Ending theme will be "Suna no oshiro" (Castle of Sand) by Kanon Wakeshima.

Vampire Knight Guilty will start Airing 10/06/08. (can't wait!)

Thank you so much to Sagakure for sending those links and information! She has made a wonderful post full of tons more info and scans from LaLa, etc. Over on her LJ, which you can check out here: http://sagakure.livejournal.com/226453.html

The poster I got from the official site. I love the way Kaname, Zero and Yuki are posed together in it. LOL I know it's probably unintentional, but I look at Kaname and Zero in it and go: hey, cool, they're standing back to back! :D I like the effect of Rido's eyes at the top too, nice, dramatic visual.

The trailer is enterly wonderful! OMG I was so excited to see scenes obviously from VK 30/31 in there! (The part when Kaname and Zero are fighting, Kaname slams his back into the wall and Zero has his gun drawn, and then Kaname's leaning over Zero and his blood drips onto Zero's cheek, making Zero's eyes go red... *happy shivers*) Since they changed the first blood drinking encounter in the Anime, it goes towards the very strong hope that they will also keep the Chap 30 version intact too and have it as another scene... XD *bounces in hopeful anticipation*

Of course, I couldn't help but notice that Kaname and Zero were up against what looked like the edge of a bathtub in one scene flash when Kaname was leaning over Zero, so I can't help what my twisted little one-track mind likes to do with that, but... *coughs* moving on... ;) The whole trailer looked pretty exciting! Some great little teaser flashes of Kaname x Yuki and Zero x Yuki moments in there too, including the Zero and Yuki scene where he almost kisses her and the Kaname and Yuki scene where he almost bites her. LOL poor Yuki, she has a lot of almosts. ;)

I audio captured the trailer, so you can download "Rondo" by ON/OFF as an MP3 here.

NEW EDIT:
shinigamiami just sent me a link to a translated version of the trailer, as well as a SECOND trailer that has the ENDING theme by Kanaon Wakeshima in it, as well as some additional scenes from the new season! Watch it here.

I audio-captured the music again, so you can now download "Suna no oshiro" (Castle of Sand) by Kanon Wakeshima as an MP3 here.

Also, I've updated my Vampire Knight Radio Page with an episode by Ichijo that I had missed previously, and this week's Zero hosted episode. I did not capture the Ichijo episode, although I did convert it to an MP3. Thank you very much to the person who sent me the WMA file for that ep!!

Vampire Knight Radio - Shiki

Just a quick note to say that I was finally able to record Senri Shiki's VK radio broadcast over the weekend before it was replaced, and you can find it for download on my Vampire Knight Radio Page.

This week it seems to be Zero again! :D Can't check it out right now since I'm at work, but will do so later and update the radio page again as soon as I'm able to snag a recording of it. :)

Good news on the personal side... :)

Good news of a personal nature for me to report. My fiance is finally being transfered to a hospital close to home this weekend! I'm very happy about that. It does mean unfortunately that I probably won't be online too much this weekend, but I should still have some time to write, and my muse is feeling pretty inspired, so I'm hoping to still be able to post the next chapter of Blood Moon sometime early or mid-next week. *crosses fingers*

Fanfiction Update

Okay, time for another little fanfiction update! Just completed another chapter of my Kaname x Zero story Blood Moon. Um... I know it's getting old to say, but I'm really sorry to all the patient folks waiting for me to update Five Hundred Miles. Got a case of writer's block on that at the moment, but don't worry, I really will get the next chapter out eventually. I've just learned not to stop the muse when she gets on a roll with something, soo...

Blood Moon (Kaname x Zero) has been updated with
Chapter Sixteen: "Shattered to Pieces"


...and, as the title suggests, things start to come apart... ;) Which should prove interesting, hopefully. >:D

New little Kaname x Zero Oneshot and other great fanfic

Well, I probably won't be able to update either Blood Moon or Five Hundred Miles this weekend, although I was trying. But I did post a little one shot that I scribbled while I was with Ken in the hospital this past week. Not very good I'm afraid, but I posted it anyway, so you can take a look if you want to.

When You Wake
by Blackened Wing

He lays so still, machines breathing for him. But his heart beats for me, because if it stops, so will mine. So long you've been asleep. But I will be here when you wake.

Vampire Knight Radio - Kain and Aido

Just a small update to say that I've added Kain and Aido's broadcasts to my Vampire Knight Radio Page. You can download them both from there if you want. :)

Actually, I put Kain's up a while ago, but forgot to mention it. I just put Aido's up, as his was this week's episode. :) His voice is so cute and energetic to listen to. *giggles*

Week from Hell... but getting better

Hi everyone! *huge mega hugs all around*

I just finally got back in town and have been going through my email, comments, etc. and I have to say that you, my dear friends, are the one truly bright spot in my week thus far. Your kind concern and care is both touching and so appreciated. Thank you. And thank you for being so patient about all the projects, etc. I've left hanging while I was away.

Ken is going to be okay. They wouldn't transfer him as soon as we'd hoped because they are worried about complications. He is/was spending an awful lot of time unconcious and there was head trauma, etc. He's been kind of out of it, but they keep saying that will pass. There's some broken bones too and he had to have a pin put in his arm, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that he will heal up without losing much functionality. They still won't release him, although I'm hoping maybe this weekend or next week...

I had to come back, much as I really wanted to stay. :( Any longer away and I wouldn't have a job to come back to. *sigh* As it is things have piled up so high I have no idea how I'm ever going to catch up and I just sat at my desk and wanted to cry this morning. (I got in late last night). But this too shall pass, I know. :)

Oh, to top it all off though, I've aquired a nasty cold that's making me feel even more like crap. Never rains but when it pours, huh? Oh well... at least I'm near a computer with internet access again. And I can't tell you how much it put a smile on my face reading some of the lovely mails, comments and reviews waiting for me in my inbox. And yay! I have tons and tons of lovely chapters and stories to catch up on reading! :D :D I fear I may be even slower than usual for a little while here, but I'll get there.

I hope you all are well, thank you for your thoughts, encouragment and prayers through this difficult time. :) *hugs again*

The call you never want to get

Hey everyone. 'Fraid this is kind of a serious post. I just had some really bad news. My fiancé, Ken, was in an accident. He travels a lot for his job and so he's in an out of town hospital. His mother just called me, apparently it happened on Monday but no one told me about it until now... god... I can't believe no one fricking called me. Although I guess his parents weren't notified until yesterday, but still...

They said he's stable, not in critical condition or anything, thank God. So I'm trying to stop freaking out. But he was pretty banged up and hasn't stayed conscious for very long periods. I got the first flight out there I could get, so I'm leaving later on tonight. If all goes well, there's no complications and he's okay to be moved, his Mom said they were talking to the doctors about having him transferred to a hospital closer to home this weekend. So I will probably be back early next week some time.

I will post with an update when I get back. Sorry to burden you all with this, but I consider many of you very, very dear friends and I wanted you to know what's happening. They say he's going to be okay, but I have to tell you, my heart is still in my throat from that call, you know?

*hugs everyone tightly* I will be back as soon as I can.

Fanfic Updates

Time for my weekend Fanfic update! Just finished and posted a new chapter for my Vampire Knight fanfic "Blood Moon". I have to really apologize to everyone who I know is so patiently waiting for me to post the next chapter of "Five Hundred Miles". I am working on it and I will post it as soon as it's done, it's just that the BM bunnies have been more relentless the past week or two. Don't worry though, I have not forgotten FHM and I'm sorry I'm moving so slowly. Thank you all for your patience. :)

Blood Moon (Kaname x Zero) by Blackened Wing has been updated with:
Chapter Fifteen: "I Merge into You"

The chapter totally ended up writing itself once again. LOL So it doesn't really, um, go anywhere... it's mostly emotional development and, um, slightly lemony-stuff. *chuckles* which I hadn't intended, but kinda happened anyway. ;) It's important though, that they have some sweet times together because next chapter I'm about to make their lives hell again. *grins innocently* But at least the action will pick up again then too... *feels like she has written way too many slow conversation-y chapters lately and needs to inject some action back into the mix*
