raatkeraniFinally finished working on this article ^______^v
I'm not a professional translator,
but I'm aspiring to be one
so please don't hesitate to correct me.
I'm still learning.
I also don't feel like translating the review part. ^^;;;
It's about Van Gogh.
I don't have scanner, sorry ^^;;;
In AKIHIDE-san's lyrics, there are a lot of phrases that concerns strength like "I want to be strong" or "If I become strong", so, what do you think of strength? I'm the kind of person who's always feel up and down all the time, so when I'm depressed I feel very weak.

When things don't go the way one like, it's something that you seek, that is what strength is for me. It's not about losing to someone else, but rather losing to your other self. For example, to desire, to laziness, and etc ... Because eventually, the other one that loses is yourself, isn't it? If you can't withhold yourself, I think one cannot compromise well.
Therefore, in this edition's picture theme, a protagonist in the picture is a soldier setting off for battle, however the enemy is not drawn on her surrounding. The armor and the weapon are symbol of strength, but it's not something to hurt others, while she controls her own weakness and ugliness so they won't come out. It's not something to hurt people in her surrounding. If it's possible, her surroundings like butterflies and the birds = people who are important to her, whom I think are coming to visit her. We're not becoming stronger for ourselves, but rather want to become stronger for other people, aren't we?
Nevertheless, I think the question is not to win over the strength. In times when we're troubled or cannot do anything well, we're certainly bent down. However at that rate, there's a hope to be able to overcome it the next day. Therefore since I was a child, when there's mistakes or regrets, I willfully sing the song of praise "thank you for this bitterness". If I'm thrown down then there's no excuses for myself of the past, and I believe that bitterness will one day be broken by my future self. The feeling of wanting to be stronger will never be erased all my life, and even though I want strength, it's because there's weakness, that the future becomes interesting, that's what I think.
I for myself has several parts of weakness. I guess for this reason I write my wish in my lyrics, "I want to be stronger". If I lose to my weakness, there are times when I fall into the vicious circle of hating myself... somehow or other it lets my feelings out and immerse myself into something that I like. As for me, my weakness would be sake. Other than the physical effect of drinking, it seems that the mask of emotion will be boiled down and starts drawing attention. After that, the hours to settle it down is surprisingly long. Therefore I take time lapses between drinks. Nevertheless the I take care myself not to hit anyone. The one who asked this question is surely a gentle person, isn't she? In that reason, within myself, I came to turn towards consciousness, but in a challenge of something like hobby, it might be okay to make time forgotten into a moment.
By the way, if I'm asked whether or not I am "pretending to be tough"... maybe I'm not like that. Pretending to be tough is a difficult thing, and in addition to that, I wonder if it's done for other people. For example, when a member of the family became sick, it's done without notice, because I don't want to show any weakness. Nevertheless, as my father who has passed away... compared to me, my father was more pretending to be tough. While there seems to be times when he cried alone, towards the family, he didn't want to show his weakness. That is, in regards to the family, maybe it's his pride to be a gentleman, but I wonder if it's also considered as being strong. Talking about pretending to be tough, it's not selfishness, but maybe it was done more on pure cause. I too, one day, it'll be good if I could possess that kind of sincere strength.

the last paragraph is rather sad to read @.@
