Finally yesterday I finished my mini renovation works, and it was a sunny morning allowing me to take pictures of my room :D

It's been more than a month since we've moved in and we've settled nicely. I really love it here, I don't ever want to move out anymore ;_; And the neighbourhood is so lovely as well...

So, here's my room if you want to take a look :D

There's only one word I can find for this song, and it's beautiful.
Beautiful melody, beautiful mood, beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice...

I think the studio version, dating back to 1978 or 79, is still the most beautiful of them all. When Momoe sings it, it sends shivers down my spine. Therefore, I embedded a no-video version of it because I think it's better to focus on music and lyrics (don't think only about the translation, the strenght of the word choice is also in the sound of those words).



Yamaguchi Momoe - "Ii hi tabidachi"

( lyrics translation )

I had a zillion things to write but I always postponed writing them, so now the "things to write" blackboard in my brain was full and I just erased it all. (Don't you think blackboards are beautiful things? I've always loved them) And still this post is so long. XD

( don't you love cooking china? it's so white and shiny )

Anyway. The point is that I'm making Belle-Helène mini pies tomorrow. Pate sablée, pears poached in vanilla syrup, and bitter chocolate melt together with butter (I'm getting fat just by thinking about it), for one of the awwww-est things in the world. Recipe courtesy of Monsieur Hermé, of course. *__*

And I also bought new cookbooks *__*
( wanna know which? )

I want to retranslate the whole Hamasaki Ayumi discography into Italian because I am intensely in love with her at the moment. I have rediscovered how her lyrics have such power and such beauty... I want to make a new lj account just for the purpose, then contact forums/fansites etc to ask for a link exchange. This time I won't romanize the lyrics or so but approach the translation in a "professional" way, much better than the experience-less translations I had done before. I really want to focus on the lyrics as if they were poems, that will be my way of honouring her talent and her beautiful words.
Her catalogue is a little shy of 170 tracks. From tonight ganbarimasu! ^o^/
