Okitegami

T_T muhuhuhu it's such a beautiful song that I painted something from it!

so fun! I love painting.
I slept at 2:00am again because of this (specifically because I was watching CSI last night and didn't get to start painting earlier)

that fish is scary... dunno what it is... i have a knack for creating evil fishes...

***edit***
I forgot to mention that those must be most perfectly realistic feet i have ever (EVAARRRR!!!!) drawn. ever.
******

***edit again***
I just remembered that this turned out to be TOTALLY different from the original drawing composition. she was supposed to be sitting on a windowsill (with the fish, of course) of a house fronting a beach..writing a letter. haha oh well, this one worked out okay anyway
******

Thanks ~FuyuSarah for introducing me this song (and the lyrics)!

yeah here's the lyrics... get the song NOW!

March 16 5:30 A.M.

Watashi wa kyou, kono machi wo dete ikimasu.
Kariteta mama no hon wa tsukue no ue.
ORENJI no NITTO wa imouto ni.
SAKANA no ESA wa ichi-nichi ni-kai desu.
Today, I will be leaving this town.
The book I borrowed is on the desk.
The orange knit is for my little sister.
The fish need to be fed twice a day.

Hitori de katte ni kimete gomen nasai
dakedo kinou demo ashita demo nakute
kyou wa sono toki datta
I'm sorry for selfishly deciding all this on my own
but today was the time to leave,
not yesterday, and not tomorrow

Daisuki na hito ni kakomarete aisarete kita
Kakegae no nai futatsu to nai kono machi wo
Watashi wa kyou dete ikimasu
Here, I've always been surrounded by wonderful people who've loved me
There will no replacement for and no equivalent of this town which
I will be leaving today

Kyoukai ni kane ga naru mae ni mou ikanakucha
Minna genki de
I've got to go before the church bells ring
Take care, everyone.
