WHY by Ayaka

This song was used in Final Fantasy VII - Crisis Core’s promotion video. A game on PSP that was out just yesterday (Sep. 13th). I find the song very nice. It gives more emotion with the FF7’s promotion video. Zack Fair, a 1st class soldier at Shinra and Cloud’s “senpai”/”superior” during early years at Shinra when he’s still a lowly guard would be the focus of the story.

Why by Ayaka (Lyrics)

Inside the eye, there are things that you see and cannot say.
Is there a deeper feeling beneath that heart?
Say that you have obtained everything left in this world with your hands,
Will you still be happy with that?
Why...do you look sadly at the lonely sky?
Why...show your laughing face.
Saying the right words becomes difficult.
Because of your character, I understand.
Was there something in your past?

You so often divert the distant gaze from your eyes.
Alone during the lonely nights, you held on to life tightly.
Did you find any warmth?
Why...Why did you cling to that act?
Why...Let your heart open.
The burden that you carry upon your shoulder,
Makes you able to accept power.
For certain by believing.
Ohh, yeah...
As for the free person being clumsy...
As for the free person being insecure...

Why...do you look sadly at the lonely sky?
Why...show your laughing face.
Saying the right words becomes difficult.
Because of your character, I understand
Try believing...
Why...

Chocobo Balance Mini-game

Just added a mini-game at the side bar of my site. This is a code snippet from Square-Enix Japan’s member’s area :) which you can copy and paste into your own blog. I guess I have another reason to stick for a while in my blog... hee hee... To play the game, click on the pink ellipse button (which translates as Start)... A bird on top of stick will appear that is held over your palm. This should be controlled by dragging the mouse pointer on it. The objective of the game is to balance the bird on top of the stick while gathering points from falling apples. Careful not to make the bird fall from the stick. Or else game over.

Btw, Chocobo is waiting at the bottom! I have to find out what Chocobo is doing there.. :)
