Chiaki Ishikawa – Uninstall (Promo Video)

DarkMirage — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 18:54:26 +0000

I seem to have a habit of loading up Aegisub whatever my exams draw close… I just spent a few hours subbing the PV for Uninstall for no particular reason. I didn’t use any fancy effects this time, just a bunch of \kf, \fad and \move.

( Torrent the video | Direct download )

The video gets a little desynced near the end. I encoded it five times with different settings but to no avail. I think it’s something to do with using AviSynth to load the WMV source file. Oh well.

I really like the PV. :) Continue reading for the YouTube version. (Though you can’t really make out the subtitles…)

Bokurano – Uninstall

DarkMirage — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 10:48:22 +0000

“Uninstall” by Chiaki Ishikawa is the awesome opening of Bokurano. Chiaki is the vocal half of the popular duo See-Saw (the other half being Yuki Kajiura). Although her voice is superb, most of her songs outside of See-Saw have been at best above average. So it comes as quite a surprise that Uninstall managed to pull it off without Yuuka’s composing.

I wanted to order the first press but both Amazon and Neowing ran out… :( You can still get the regular edition, though.

Read on for the lyrics.

UNINSTALL
Ishikawa Chiaki

ano toki saikou no REAL ga mukou kara ai ni kita nowa

UNINSTALL
Chiaki Ishikawa

It came from beyond the extreme reaches of our reality,
It came to laugh at our naive existences.
I am puzzled by the truth that slips through my hands even as I cover my ears.
Where in this thin body do I find the strength to stand?

Uninstall, uninstall.
I was told that I am just one of the countless specks of dust on this planet,
But that is something I cannot yet comprehend.
Uninstall, uninstall.
I have no choice but to pretend that
I am a warrior who knows no fear. Uninstall.

Our subconscious grows sharper without us realizing.
When I open my eyes to the contourless presence below my bed,
I am devoid of any feelings,
Except an impulse to destroy everything and anything.
Since I can’t even choose the season of my passing…

Uninstall, uninstall.
If there’s no one left to replace me,
Then I will take that regular daily life and
Uninstall, uninstall.
It makes me want to end everything with these hands.
It’s not a bad thing to uninstall.

I must say that the lyrics fit the story of Bokurano quite well.
