Song Lyrics Meme!

...Conclusion: I've been doing too many memes. Here's another one, I forgot where I got it, though.


Rules:
-Put your iPod/iTunes/MP3/WMP on shuffle, and for the first 15 songs, write the first lyric or two. Go ahead and skip over the ones that don't have lyrics or you have no idea how in the hell they got there.
-The reader's job is to guess what the song is and who its by.
-If a correct answer is given (song title and artist), the lyrics will marked as discovered.
-You CANNOT use Google or any lyric sites. That's cheating. And then you'd be ashamed.

 Well, shall we begin?
...This should be obvious, but I don't any of the songs here.

 1.  moteamasu kurai nara  tarinai hou ga mashi da
      onedari surun da  kenshinteki na ai o

 2.  senaka wo mukete kimi wa arukidashita
      kawasu kotoba mo nai mama 

 3.  Zenzen tsukamenai kimi no koto
      Zenzen shiranai uchi ni 

 4.  Estuans interius
      ira vehementi

 5.  kabosoi hi ga kokoro no hashi ni tomoru
      itsu no ma ni ka moehirogaru netsujou 

 6.  Lost destiny, far outcry
      They hear you no more

 7.  Taitei no koto ja kujikenai 
      boku wa kimi to tomo ni aru

 8.  mitsumeau  sono shisen
      tojita sekai no naka 

 9.  Make up, and dress up
      I become very lovely too

 10. toosan kaasan ima made gomen
       hiza o furuwase oyafubi ja buru 

 11. Dareka o mamoru koto de dareka o nikumu koto wo shiru
       Michi no kodou

 12. Dreamless dorm, ticking clock
       I walk away from the soundless room

 13. Imi to yume to inochi o atsumete
       Tsukurarete shimatta karada wa 

 14. Kaze no koe, hikari no tsubu
       Madoromu kimi no sosogu

 15. Yeah, naked truth lies, only if you realize
       Appearing in nobody's eyes, till they sterilize

Answer with BOTH the original singer and the song title if possible. One of them must be VERY SPECIFIC. I'll give some hints...

5 of the songs are from video games.

A large portion of the rest are Vocaloid songs.

The 'very specific' song is a VGM.

Two of the VGM are battle music.

One song is from KagePro.

One song, from what I know, is based on a true story.

For the VGMs, just putting the composer is alright. So, if the lyrics are...

Fear's awake, anger beats loud, face reality

...then there's no need to say 'Lotus Juice' as the singer, but just saying 'Shoji Meguro' is alright. Btw, song title is Mass Destruction.

Can you guess?

Song meme...

I'm doing another meme...this time a song shuffle meme. Memes are fun. What is wrong with me. I found this meme on Adoro te Devote.

IshouldbedoinghomeworkARRGGHH!

Basic rules, from what I perceive...

1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Answer the following questions with the song title, no matter how weird or silly it sounds.
3. NO CHEATING! Don't press 'next' if you don't like the answer!

Okay, so...you'll see just how weird my song collection is...I think.

1. How does the world see me?

16 Melodies (Beginning) - Mother 3+

...told you so. One of my favorite Mother series tracks...but I can't interpret this...

2. How is my life going?

Tetris Type A - SSBB OST

My life starts easy and gets frustrating PRETTY QUICKLY. Like how all my runs in Tetris end up.

3. What do my friends really think of me?

Einsamkeit - Germany and Prussia

Germany's character song. 'Einsamkeit' means 'loneliness' in German. I'm usually seen alone. You do the math.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?

SSBB Sticker Mode - SSBB

...really.

5. How can I make myself happy?

Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari - IA

Run away from everyone that doesn't accept me with the only person that accepts me? Um...

6. What should I do with my life?

Heat Haze Days - Nico Nico Chorus version

Oh no. Try to prevent my friend from dying without realizing we're living life in a loop?!

7. Will I ever have children?

SMILES AND TEARS - Earthbound OST

...um.

8. What is good advice for me?

Tal Tal Heights - SSBB OST

... Conclusion: My iTunes Shuffle is on 'screw-up mode' today.

9. How will I be remembered?

Monochrome Dream-Eater - Len

By making people forget their nightmares while giving them nasty side-effects, at least in hindsight? Um...

10. What is my signature dance song?

p3ct004_01 - Persona 3 OST

This is the song from the boombox in Persona 3...what?

11. What do I think my current theme song is?

Highlander - BlazBlue Calamity Trigger OST

No comments.

12. What do my friends think my current theme song is?

Draco Centauros's Theme: Let's Play Puyo With a Rival! - Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary OST

I am NOTHING like Draco, okay? Though, she's one of my favorite Puyo Puyo characters.

13. What song will play at my funeral?

Staff Roll - Pokemon Gold and Silver OST

The End! Now continue on with your journey to beat Red. Wha-?

14. What kind of men do I like?

FF5 The Final Battle - Dissidia OST

FIRST of all: I dislike Exdeath. Second of all, I have THREE different versions of Yosuke's theme: In-game, LIVE, and Electro Mix. WHY CAN'T ANY OF THEM PLAY NOW?

15. What is my day going to be like?

Mother 2 - SSBM OST

Basically 'Because I Love You' with a more upbeat feel to it. WHAT.

Tagging: You wanna do it? Go on ahead. Maybe I'll do a song lyric meme later on...

Meme time!

Well, I found this meme on Pretty, Fizzy Paradise, and the meme tagged ANYONE...so...I would like to try it out...yeah.

WhatamIdoingI'msupposedtobedoingA-MathsARRRGGHH

First, select your ten fictional characters (from any medium) by whichever method you like best. Then answer the questions below.

1. Daichi Shijima (Devil Survivor 2)
2. Atsuro Kihara (Devil Survivor)
3. Yosuke Hanamura (Persona 4)
4. Akihiko Sanada (Persona 3)
5. Zidane Tribal (Final Fantasy 9)
6. Kano Shuuya (KagePro)
7. Sig (Puyo Puyo)
8. Guy (Draglade)
9. Koichi Kimura (Digimon Frontier)
10. Bartz Klauser (Final Fantasy 5)

1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?

Odd Team: Daichi Shijima, Yosuke Hanamura, Zidane Tribal, Sig, Koichi Kimura

Hmm...this is hard, considering every character I chose is male...let's see here. I have to say, Brosuke would be the smart guy in this one, him being the second-in-command of the IT and all. Daichi is the big guy, he hits pretty hard with Multi-Strike, you know. Zidane could be the leader, Koichi the lancer, and...Sig the chick? Well, he's the gentlest one among them all, not to mention the one who's pretty much stoic...

Even Team: Atsuro Kihara, Akihiko Sanada, Kano Shuuya, Guy, Bartz Klauser

HARDER. FAR HARDER. Umm...Atsubro is the smart guy, I guess. He's the reason behind the survival of the main team in DeSu. Akihiko is the leader, Guy is the big guy. Kano is probably the lancer...and that leaves Bartz as the chick? Oh man. Putting an all-boys character choice is a worse idea than I thought!

You know what we could do? Swap Hana-chan and Kano. Yeah.

2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?

Gender-bended Atsubro? Umm...maybe not so much as a HUGE change...Atsuro is usually the one doing all the programming stuff, and Atsuro IS a smart one...so...maybe not...

Gender-bended Guy is a hard one. He'd have a large change in his story arc, maybe have more drama with Shelly. A complete personality change would not be totally necessary, I think...

Gender-bended Bartz? PFFT. He's a mime. He'll manage well. Trust me on this.

3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?

 Shijima and Guy?! (laughs like a madman) No. Just no. One is a cowardly lion, the other charges headfirst into danger. Besides, they came from two TOTALLY DIFFERENT UNIVERSES.

Zidane and Koichi seems a bit more...doable... Koichi's this gentle person, and Zidane is also more on the friendlier side, but them being in two totally different universes don't help matters a lot...

4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?

Hana, Aki, and Kou. A mental, social, and physical challenge. This is easy... Yosuke goes to social, Akihiko goes to physical, and Koichi goes to mental. Hana's a social person, Aki's an insanely strong Persona user, and Kou is a heavy thinker.

5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?

Sig's the 'I don't care what you do' kind of person...so...Shijima is free!

6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?

Atsubro in KagePro? Arrgghh. This is going to be hard and wacky. Atsuro would be a part of the Mekakushi Dan, and his eye ability is to immediately identify and be able to hack into networks easily, I guess?

7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?

Brosuke and Zidane. They'd wish for better dual blades, greater strength to fix their slightly 'fragile speedster' status, and more MP-restoring items?

Either way...they're my favorite characters...the fragile speedsters...

8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?

Shijima and Kihara attacking Sanada? PFFFTTT- Akihiko wins, with a whole load of debuffs, Ziodynes, and good ol' punching. Oh, and the occasional Diarahan.

9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?

Kano, Sig, Kimura, and Klauser. Bartz is tasked with being Santa, since he's, you know, A MIME. Sig is in charge of helping out by giving out gifts, Kano and Koichi entertains the kids, I guess.

10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?

Hana-chan and Guy...nah, they'll fail, mainly due to their personality conflicts...just saying.

Tagging: You wanna do it? Go on. I don't really care about tagging.

Welcoming the Year of Persona with a Top Three Hardest MegaTen Bosses in Handheld Titles list!

Oh wow. It's been a VERY long time since I last posted something here. BUT! I have some perfectly good reasons!

First is homework. Oh man, homework. ESPECIALLY A-Maths. It's pretty confusing...but I'll manage. Then, there's exams to worry about. And the last...it's stupid to say, but I've been too busy trying to clear my file of Devil Survivor 2. I'm stuck on the fight between Makoto and Ronaldo after the Mizar fight, and I saved everyone so far... I CRIED when Io seemed to die. She's one of my favorite DeSu 2 characters. My other favorites are Daichi and Jungo... So I'll be taking Daichi's route, thank you very much!

The past few days were pretty amazing here. For one, there was LITTLE TO NO RAIN. I know, weird, considering it's the rainy season in Indonesia right now. Then, my family goes to BEC a lot, and I got some new DS and PSP games, namely, Ouendan 1, Ouendan 2, and Puyo Puyo 7 for the DS, and also Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 2 for the PSP. I managed to get Carol, and am on my way to get Little Witch (fighting a level 50 Mizunotomi right now, UPDATE, beat it and got Little Witch) in Ayakashi Ghost Guild, though I'm like what, level 44? One thing's for sure, though... I won't be able to get Tendo Hidari-uma, Unicorn (Xmas), Miss Santa, or Terrence, aka Pipe Fox (Focused). Even though I absolutely ADORE the Pipe Fox (mainly because of his design, though...I started with him, kept him until now, he's level 21). I got Izanami in Guardian Cross. IZANAMI! Now, is there Izanagi, Susano-O, Amaterasu, or the like in that game? I found my Pokemon Ruby and restarted it with a Torchic. I found the manga for KagePro and instantly shipped Kano and Kido. I laughed at some trollfics too.

Oh, and it's 2014, the Year of Persona! There's going to be a new Puyo Puyo game, Puyo Puyo Tetris, this year too! And, here's hoping that Super Smash Bros Wii U will be done soon, and that Ness and Lucas will be returning! They need more love.

With this being the Year of Persona, I find it appropriate to start off this year with my first list: The Top Three Hardest Bosses in Handheld MegaTen Games. I know, weird that I'll just put 3... I'd just have a hard time cutting bosses down if it's more than 5, and 4 is just a weird number for a list... ALL MEGATEN BOSSES ARE HARD.

First, some rules.

1. One boss per game. If not, every single boss will be a Septentrion.

2. Only bosses that I've encountered, but not exactly beaten. Bosses that I have NOT encountered will NOT be put in. So, I won't be putting in Benetnastch, if he is THAT hard.

3. Bosses come from games that I have played. I think this is self-explanatory.

4. Optional boss fights, bonus bosses, and hopeless boss fights will NOT be included. So, if I don't put in Elizabeth, Demiurge, Lucifer, Bifrons, Botis, and the like, please understand.

5. All judgments are based on my first, BLIND playthrough of the game. If I found Beldr hard in the first playthrough, but not the next, he might be in it.

With that in mind, let's start!

3. Jotun of Grief (Persona 3 Portable)

Okay, first of all, I'd like to point out that the ONLY REASON I beat this guy was because I checked Megami Tensei Wiki for the ONLY type of attack he WON'T drain. THAT'S RIGHT. The Jotun of Grief drains ALL types of damage (barring Almighty, but who resists, let alone drains, it anyways?), except for Hama, Mudo (both null), and Pierce. THAT'S RIGHT. PIERCE. AND IT ISN'T EVEN A WEAKNESS. If that alone hasn't made me rage enough to climb back down Tartarus, change my (totally awesome) team of MC, Akihiko, Aigis, and Junpei into MC, Yukari, Ken, and Aigis, the fact that he still has the nerve to cast ALL the Ma-nda spells, that lower your stats, did. In a game like this, lowering stats can make your life easier, or harder, if it's your stats that are being lowered. He also knows MEGIDOLAON, the strongest hit-all ALMIGHTY spell (can't be blocked), and Primal Force (strongest Pierce attack in the game). He uses the Stagnant Air + Infuriate combo to make sure that ANY of your non-Pierce party members HEAL HIM. He also has Mind Charge (doubles magic damage the next turn), but mentioning that right now is just...ARGH.

2. Megrez (Devil Survivor 2)

This...this SEPTENTRION... He's the source of ALL MY RAGE in the fourth day of DeSu 2. Ronaldo has NOTHING on this guy. Megrez has a relatively large attack range, and the arena is relatively hard to move in, like what you’d expect from a harbor, unless you’re moving with an Avian or a Genma. Dispelling miasma is pretty much a must in this fight, or the fight will just get harder. Some of the miasma being on boats that are only accessible by Genma of Avian does NOT help matters. Megrez will not move unless attacked, but when it is attacked, it starts RECOVERING HP every single turn. It resists Physical skills and NULLS Fire, Mystic, and Electricity skills. After it is attacked, it MAY move or RELEASE MEGREZ BUDS. Remember the bottom half of Dubhe, encountered earlier that day? Yeah, this Septentrion can summon them after being attacked. The buds will behave like they did in Miyashita Park earlier that day, dealing Phys damage to each ally team, and being able to attack from a distance. Probably the only saving grace for this fight is that Megrez is weak to Ice. I used Team Nagoya: Airi and MC for attacking Megrez, Jungo for beating the crap out of the buds, Fumi for dispelling miasma. I lost Baphomet and Tlaloc to him. GAAAAHH. Oh, and the battle is on a time limit. Have fun!
1. Commander Gore (Strange Journey)
Probably shouldn't have gone with the Chaos route for my first playthrough. But, if I didn't, I have to fight Mem Aleph... Oh well, what's done is done. Commander Gore hits like a cement truck powered by rocket boosters. I'm not kidding. He has INSANE attack power, knows Fleeting Rain (strong, random-hitting Gun damage on all foes), knows the DEADLY Charge + Adaptation combo that will most probably kill if you're not guarding and not equipping armor with good Defense and resists Physical, using it ONLY ON THE MC. If MC dies, it's an automatic Game Over. He can also increase his attack power. Knocked his entire 15000 HP? He heals himself for 7500 HP. He reflects Gun and Physical skills, and nulls Hama and Mudo, like all bosses. Only saving grace? He's weak to Garu skills. Equip the gun Frost Ace gave to you, and you're set to Co-Op attack him to death. If you haven't been investing in Alice...have a nice battle. Looking forward to working together with him in the second playthrough on Neutral, and also beating the crap out of him in the third playthrough onwards with Susano-O. He's my favorite demon in Strange Journey. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have beaten Pillar Zelenin. Also, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be introduced to Yosuke Hanamura, and, subsequently, Persona 4.
There we have it. The top three hardest bosses in MegaTen games, at least, the handheld ones. If anyone is harder, please let me know.
Honorable mentions:
-Beldr (DeSu)
-Jezebel (DeSu)
-Sleeping Table (Persona 3)
-Mizar (DeSu 2)
-Ronaldo (DeSu 2)
