[info]panonychus, posting in [info]ongoingmelody
Hey, Victoria, if you don't want the download link, let me know! I only included it because it's on the group's official website, and they don't seek royalties from any of their material, it seems.

Also, I wasn't sure what to put for the language tag, as this has no lyrics. XD

GOLDEN SHOWER; Video Computer System
Release Date: Unknown (sometime in 2000?)
Language: N/A
Genre(s): Chiptune, electronic
Purchase: N/A; DL @ the group's official website

December 4, 2009: Layla and Majnun Dec. 4th, 2009 @ 02:21 am
[info]wikipedia_potd
Picture of the day
Layla and Majnun

A scene from a late-16th century publication of Nezami Ganjavi's adaptation of the classical Arabic story Layla and Majnun, which is based on the real story of Qays ibn al-Mulawwah, a young man from the northern Arabian Peninsula and his love Layla. There are two versions of the story, but in both, Majnun goes mad when her father prevents him from marrying her. In the depicted scene, the eponymous star-crossed lovers meet for the last time before their deaths. Both have fainted and Majnun's elderly messenger attempts to revive Layla while wild animals protect the pair from unwelcome intruders.

ドイツのクリスマス Dec. 4th, 2009 @ 03:21 am
[info]densha_onna
今日はドイツのクリスマスについて書きたいと思います。
この前、クリスマスの習慣の起源を調べていました。結果を読んですごくビックリしました!どうやら、クリスマスの習慣の起源は大半がドイツ語圏(オーストリアとドイツ)です。Tannenbaum(クリスマスツリー)やカロル(Stille Nachtとか)は全部ドイツ語圏からなんです。私もぜんぜん知りませんでした!(⌒▽⌒;)

ドイツのクリスマスはアメリカのと違います。クリスマスは12月24日です。クリスマスイブはプレゼントをもらえます。24日にプレゼントを持ってくるのはサンタさんではありません!「Christkind」という空想の人物がプレゼントを持って来ます。天使みたいな人物なんです。
普通、クリスマスは家族と一緒に過ごします。教会にも行って、特別な美味しい晩ご飯を食べます。晩ご飯の後でベルの音が聞こえるとやっとリビングに入れます!そこにはクリスマスツリーやプレゼントがあります。
Christkindを追い出さないように、リビングは晩ご飯の後まで鍵がかけてあります。それで、静かにプレゼントを持って来られるのです。
プレゼントを開ける前に、家族の全員はカロルを歌います。
Christkindはサンタさんよりかわいいでしょうか。
それに、24日の晩にプレゼントをもらえるほうが楽だと思います。
25日の朝まで待たなければならない人々はきっとぜんぜん眠れないでしょうね。(;^ω^

もちろん、ドイツでもサンタさんが来ますよ!ただ、それは25日ではなく、12月6日なんです。その日、サンタさんは若い子供たちを叱ります。ちょっとだけ怖いのです。(;^ω^) 
「今年いい子にしていましたか。」や「お母さんをよく手伝ってあげましたか。」と厳しく聞きます。「はぁ・・(≧∇≦)ノ ハーイ♪」と答えて、サンタさんは大きい袋からプレゼントバッグを出します。そのバッグの中はナッツ、みかんや小さいプレゼント(冬物の靴下とか)です。
普通、サンタさんだけが来ます。でも悪いサンタさんもいます。名は「Knecht Ruprecht」で、英語で「Black Santa」なんです。あいつは本当にいやな奴です!悪い子をつかまえて、枝みたいな物で殴ります。
怖い話だけれども、今時Knecht Ruprechtはあまり何もしません。
子供の頃もただ遠くから見ていました。でも、母は子供のときに、一度捕まりました。本当に怖かったでしょうね。(;^ω^)
親にとってはいい躾の方法なんですが!
「ちゃんと宿題をしないのなら、今年、サンタさんの代わりにブラックサンタが来るでしょう。」と子供たちに言います。www (;^ω^)

12月1日からクリスマスまでの間は「Advent」と言います。
ドイツでもいくつかのほかの国でも「Adventskalender」と「Adventskranz」があります。



「Adventskalendar」は12月1日から24日までのカレンダーなんです。
特別なカレンダーです。24個の窓があります。毎日、該当する窓を開けます。Adventskalendarにはいくつか種類があります。窓の中には何が隠れているでしょうか。絵タイプ、 チョコレートタイプや小さいプレゼントタイプもありますよ!子供たちの待ち時間を緩和します。



大人にはAdventskranzがあります。モミから手作りの物です。クリスマスツリーみたいに飾ることができます。ろうそくを四つ立てます。
12月、日曜日ごとにろうそくを一つ点けます!♪

「Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt.
Erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier -
dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür.」

←これは有名な歌なんです。縮めて言えば、一つ、二つ、三つ、四つのろうそくが点くと、Christkindがやっと来ます。クリスマスが来ました!

手作りのクリスマスクッキーが懐かしいです!食べたいです!(`・ω・´)

It's been a while since I last finished a painting, mostly due to the fact I was moving. But we've settled in enough and finally I had time to finish the next painting of the Potter-Project Dobby's Warning.

It's not my favorite painting of the series thus far, but I'm still happy with it. Next painting is going to be a The Wonderful Wizard of Oz painting, then on to chapter three of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets !

Help with a composition! Dec. 3rd, 2009 @ 02:45 pm

So in class we're supposed to do an oral presentation. Mine is on 一番楽しかった旅行. After 3 drafts, I still keep getting some parts wrong and I'm not sure what else to put. Under the cut is my essay/composition. It's not in any order. Please help if you can!!

The phrase 'limiter removal': Dec. 3rd, 2009 @ 07:54 pm
[info]sharpsight, posting in [info]learn_japanese
Is there a better term for the second part/noun than '取り外し' (or presumably 外し alone)?
Also, would the first part typically be in katakana?

(For some reason I started out thinking that the term '開始' was appropriate for the second part, but that turned out to be completely different. I may or may not have misremembered something with a similar pronunciation. *wonders*)

Hello, everybody! When I was studying for the JLPT, I came across some problems...

1. さっき起きたばかりで、またねむいです。

HOW do I translate this? I don't understand why we use bakari... I knew that we used it to say "He only plays/ eats cookies" etc. Sorry if this sounds silly...

2. Is there any polite verb for "aru"? (the humble version in "gozaru", but the polite one)?
How do you say "The teacher's bag is on the table"?

Thanks to the genius who will answer.:P

[SINGLE - JPOP] Sugawara Sayuri ▪ Kimi ga Iru Kara (Final Fantasy XIII Theme Song) Dec. 2nd, 2009 @ 11:31 pm
[info]cloud_honey, posting in [info]bestfiction
Oh, lazy sunny day. Instrumentals are not out yet but... I won't be uploading em even if they surface anywhere, have a g00d4y.

I've never paid much attention to Sugawara Sayuri, basically because most of her songs didn't stand out or worked for me, even with such gorgeous vocals like hers. I expected her previous single, "Ano Hi no Yakusoku", to be more confident and perhaps better, but it turned out being just another forgettable ballad-y song. "Kimi ga Iru Kara" is not different. It'll be used as the Japanese theme song for Final Fantasy XIII but I'm still not sure if this decision was any good. The song hasn't that climatic and epic thing that most of FF theme songs have, you know? "Kiss Me Good Bye" still makes me feel warm inside. But well, if you liked this, it may be worth a download. "Eternal Love", which is A BIT better, is also the insert song of the game.

December 3, 2009: Laughing Kookaburra Dec. 3rd, 2009 @ 01:20 am
[info]wikipedia_potd
Picture of the day
Laughing Kookaburra

The Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a carnivorous kookaburra in the Kingfisher family well known for its laughing call. It is about 45 cm (18 in) in length and is found throughout eastern Australia and neighboring islands, and has been introduced to southwestern Australia as well as Kawau Island near New Zealand. Its trademark "laugh" is to establish territory amongst family groups. When one bird starts, often others will join in, including nearby birds from rival tribes, which can fill the bush with their calls.

その あとで。。。 Dec. 2nd, 2009 @ 07:55 pm
[info]sloth10, posting in [info]learn_japanese
Dear kind all,

i am confused because of あとで rules. please help!

so i have learnt that the verb before あとで gets た form.

ご飯を食べた後で 寝ました。

i was happy with that rule untill yesterday when i came across the sneaky その あとで
(yeah, JLPT level 4 :)

きょうとへ____そのあとで ひろしまへ いきました。

1.行こう  2.行き 3。行く 4.行って

and the lovely た form is not even an option...
Could you please explain what rule is hiding behind this one?

Thank you vefy much in advance!!!

With JLPT hovering above, your help would be very-very much appreciated!

Regarding files that can't be extracted nor work out right Dec. 2nd, 2009 @ 09:12 pm
[info]cloud_honey, posting in [info]bestfiction
I've noticed lots of people saying in my last uploads that some files can't be extracted or are missing. I bet that most of these people downloaded those files from Mediafire, so please download it from other link if you're having problems with em. I'm already uploading files at Multiupload and Sendspace because I know that some sharing sites may not work with some of you, so please understand. I won't be uploading individual links just because one or two members are having problems. UNLESS IT EXTRACTS BUT THE SONG ITSELF SKIPS (After School's When I Fall, for example).

Remember: Mediafire is shit. Garbage. If you downloaded something from MF and it troubles, snag it from other link, please (SS is the best). That 7-Zip tutorial (CRC errors, etc.), it may work out too.

Thanks for yo attention.
