choral version: 3月9日 and 粉雪

I was watching videos on YouTube, and then I came across the choral versions of these songs. Having been from choir myself, of course I had to listen to these right? ;) I like listening to different interpretations of the same song, and having these songs sung with different parts really gives a new dimension to them.

Choral version of 3月9日 (March 9)

I actually prefer the choral version of this one to the original. The song works well when sung in different parts.

未来へ

ほら 足元を見てごらん
これがあなたの歩む道
ほら 前を見てごらん
あれがあなたの未来

The song is about the dreams of someone and her future, and it’s such a beautiful song with it’s deep meaning. The melody is simple and soothing, and I feel that it serves to bring out the lyrics even more.

I personally like this version better than the original. The original version is good, just that I prefer how Konno’s voice goes with the song in this version. I think it’s worth a listen even if you don’t understand Japanese; translations are under the cut if you want to know the meaning of the song.

未来へ向かって ゆっくりと 歩いてゆこう

勉強の季節

It’s the season where everyone’s busy mugging; where 24 hours in a day is simply not enough and everyone hopes that the exams will be over soon so that life can go back to normal.

Given that my first paper is still 2 days away, I’m not too stressed right now, but I just know that my stress levels will increase exponentially as the exams go on. I have 4 papers on the last week of the exams, and on the Sunday after the exams end I have to take JLPT as well. It doesn’t help that practically all my papers are in the afternoon, because I feel that I end up losing a lot of time when I have afternoon papers. At least if my papers are in the morning I can spend the rest of the day studying for the next paper. If I have an afternoon paper, by the time I go home and take a nap, the day is practically gone already. Not good at all when the next paper is just 2 days later - it’s impossible to finish studying within that short period of time! Right now I’m just taking things one step at a time… holidays please come soon!

If you’re tired from studying or whatsoever, here’s a lively song to (hopefully) cheer you up!

皆、頑張れ!
