millions of lights

sooo~!

yesterday i found an amazing song of a german artist. and i'm so much into that song that i came up with the idea of making a translation (cause i'm really into its lyrics as well!).. 

and well, as i tried to make a quick translation, i realized that i got some special problems with the german language. there's a part in it that wasn't that easy to translate at all. so i asked my german followers on twitter and some friends on fb to help me out and well, shit escalated. *laughs*

so, thanks again to everyone who helped me out finding the right words!!

however,

i hope you enjoy the song as much as i do!

Christina Stürmer - Millionen Lichter

Verse 1:

Als wär dein Kopf ein Karussell
und alles dreht sich irgendwie - zu schnell
Die Straßen sind leer und du bist es auch
Als wär das Leben, das hier einmal war - verbraucht

as if your head would be a carousel
and everything's spinning somehow - too fast
the streets are empty and so are you
as if the life that's been here once would have been wasted

Bridge:

Als ob dort in der Ferne ein weiterer Stern wär,
der wie du so einsam scheint
Doch da sind weit über tausend, denen geht es genauso
Du bist nicht allein

as if there would be another star, out there, in the distance
which is shining lonely just as you do
but there are way more than thousand, suffering just like you
you are not alone

Refrain:

Da sind Millionen Lichter in der Welt
Milliarden Farben, sie leuchten so hell
Millionen Lichter über der Stadt
sie bringen uns sicher durch die Nacht
Da sind Millionen Lichter
Siehst du sie nicht?
Millionen Gesichter wie du und ich
wie du und ich

there are millions of lights in the world
billion colors, they're shining so bright
millions of  lights over the city
they're getting us safely through the night
there are millions of lights
can't you see them?
million faces like you and i

Verse 2:

Du kommst dir vor wie ein Komet,
der in die Erdumlaufbahn fliegt - und verglüht
Du spürst wie du rennst, den Regen auf deiner Haut
durch deine Adern fließt Strom,
du warst noch niemals so gut - gelaunt

you feel like a comet
which's flying into the orbit - and burns up/vanishes
you feel the rain on your skin while you're running
electricity flows through your veins
you've never been that happy

Bridge:

Als ob dort in der Ferne noch mehr von dir wären
sie ziehen dich magnetisch an
All die Sterne da draußen, die den Nachthimmel aufziehen
wir gehören zusammen

as if there would be more like you, out there, in the distance
they magnetically pull you closer
all the stars out there, which wind up the night sky
we belong together

(there's a little problem cause the original lyric says "die den Nachthimmel aufziehen" but she sings "die zum Nachthimmel aufsehen" which would be "which looking up at the night sky" which would make way more sense.)

Refrain:

Da sind Millionen Lichter in der Welt
Milliarden Farben, sie leuchten so hell
Millionen Lichter über der Stadt
sie bringen uns sicher durch die Nacht
Da sind Millionen Geschichten
sie sprechen für sich
Millionen Lichter wie du und ich
wie du und ich

there are millions of lights in the world
billion colors, they're shining so bright
millions of lights over the city
they're getting us safely through the night
there are millions of lights
can't you see them?
million faces like you and i

2015!!

halli-hallooo~! (　´∀`)ノ

and welcome to the year 2015!! ★☆★

i hope you guys had a great time over the years! how was your christmas? mine was pretty nice to be honest. we celebrated with only a very few people so it was pretty relaxing. ヽ(　`ω´)ノ

what about new year's eve? had a great party with your friends and/or family? well, i had! (笑) hannaちゃん came to germany (again) so we decided to go to Düsseldorf. this city has some kind of 'japanese area' with a special カラオケ-bar and a lot of asian stores. that's all it needs, ne? (笑) so after we decided to celebrate NYE there, we asked some people to join us. ending up with 11 people partying NYE at カラオケ! seriously, it was pretty special!!(笑) sofiaちゃん, hannaちゃん and i shared an apartment, starting from dec 30th - 05th jan, which was bigger than expected so it was 'the place to be'. ★ (by the way: i want to thank the cleaning lady and apologize once again for all the bottles and cans she had to take with her every time she came. *scratches head*)

however, we had awesome days. most of the people left on jan 3rd, so hanna and i had two more days by ourselves. we watched some weird movies, most of them were... not so nice. *laughs* however, it was a lot of fun! on the last day, i had the chance to meet another friend of mine which i haven't seen in four fucking years. it's been just for a short time (like, 1 hour or something), but it was worth it! so, thanks for coming over to see us, kira! ヽ(´▽`)ノ hope it won't take another 4 years until we meet again!!

so, 皆さん!! i want to thank you for the very special and awesome party at NYE and the days before&after! i hope i will meet you again some day!!

looking back at the year 2014, i have to admit that i'm happy that it's over. a lot of things happened but it was a pretty exhausting year. already made some changes in my life so 2015 won't be the same. well, this sounds kinda negative, ne? *scratches head again* what i really want to say is, that my working situation was more than fucked up. i didn't make a lot of money at all, and all i got : i spent for ...music!!  ヽ(；▽；)ノ

so i didn't have the time for myself or friends at all, cause all i did was going to a fucking shitload of concerts!! (which was fucking amazing!!) therefor i was able to see girugamesh (5x), one ok rock (3x), coldrain (2x), heidi. (1x), miyavi (1x) and crossfaith (1x)!!

concert life is a tough life. but totally worth it. (ง •̀_•́)ง

i even got some tickets for the upcoming mucc - tour!! seriously, i've been waiting so long for them to return to europe again, i can't believe it's finally happening!!

ヽ(´▽`)ノ i want to meet some friends there again as well! let's meet up and have a great time!!  ヽ( ゜ 3゜)/

so, thank you, everybody!! for everything that happened in the last few months! i'm totally looking forward to the next adventure we're in!

let's do this!!

from heart,

kai

wherever you are XS

Udo Jürgens died today.

he was an outstanding composer (composed ~1000 songs) and an awesome artist.

probably... a lot of younger german people weren't listening to his music, which i can understand because it's been very 'old-fashioned'. but as much as some might want to deny it, every german person knows at least 3 or 4 songs of him. "Griechischer Wein", "Aber bitte mit Sahne", "Mit 66 Jahren"... 

even if you're not interested in his music, i would like to recommend a movie which tells about his story. the name of the movie is "Der Mann mit dem Fagott". it is a really touching and heartwarming movie. please take a bit of your time to watch it.

i've been to some one ok rock concerts lately, so i decided to try to make a cover of "wherever you are". i didn't play guitar in a while and i've never been good when it comes to barré chords, but they were neccessary for this song. i decided to finally learn how to play them. i'm not good at it at all, but i recorded myself playing the song for my own improvement. i am not content with the result at all, but i can't record another one now, due to the fact that my fingers are hurting as hell. as i stopped practicing after 2 hours, i heard the news that Udo Jürgens died. this is when i decided to upload this far-from-perfection version of the song. i think, somehow, it fits.

so please excuse the unclean, shortened version with all its mistakes. i'll do a proper cover as soon as i'm able to play it clean.

thank you

for all the amazing music you've created.

abstinence

things happen, life goes on.i've seen a lot of concerts til now and there are still 3 more to go until the year comes to an end. hopefully i'll be able to be more active again, soon. according to the plan in my head, everything should work out well in the end.so, after a while of abstinence, i made another cover. i hope you enjoy it!

it's been too long since i last wrote an entry. but well, let's say,
i've been busy.. okay?

so, therefore, a lot of things did happen. good and bad ones. that's how life's going, isn't it?

in first case, sorry to all those people who were into the 「make a wish」 project. it's still running, still running. be prepared for some updates.


well, right now i'm about finishing the layout for my first single.
i'll offer it on itunes for free.
a spare amount of CD's will be done as well.


the part with "bad happenings",
well,

some of you might have known Sunny.
he passed away.

therefore,




おやすみ。

go to the zoo, they said.

go to the zoo, they said. 

it will be fun, they said.

i've been to the zoo yesterday. i took my camera with me to take some pictures. here are some of my best shots. i hope you'll like them!
 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

as i took a closer look at one of the smallest boxes, looking for the tiny animal living in there.. i couldn't believe my eyes.
look at that ground.  

skeletons. skeletons everywhere.

it was very impressive. and scary as hell.

all in one,
it was a very nice.. but kinda unsettling day.

halli-hallo! ヽ(´▽｀)ノ

i did a new recording with my mobile phone.

some mistakes as usual.

sorry for the imperfect japanese, i had a hard time figuring out how to pronounce the words fitting to the beat.

nevertheless, i really love that song. if you haven't listen to the original one - do it!

so long

hello-hello!  (´▽｀)

first of all, thank you for your supporting mails and the interest in the charity project! i'm still working on items which you might be interested in. the lack of free-time makes it hard, but not impossible. it just takes its time.

nevertheless - thank you very much! i'll keep you up to date about everything!

up to now we've been able to collect about 50€! i'm very happy about that fact! once again - thank you!! ヽ(´▽`)ノ

 well, i was looking for some (more or less 'usefull') accessoires, and due to my own interests, i asked myself...

what about pritned bandanas? 

or phone-straps? 

i tied this one to a new 8GB-usb-stick. 

found some other jewelery for other combinations. this was just an try-out.

if you want something, let me know.

talking about myself, i've met some friends of mine. it's been a while since the last time i've seen them, so we did our best to have a great time! - and i'd say - it was an full success! 

thanks again for the great memories! 

in addition to this, some concert tickets arrived!

(｀ﾛ´ﾉ)ﾉ♪

by the way, i wanted to let you know that the actual costs for the charity items itself are (producing only) : 

T-Shirt - 10,00 €

Bandana - 2,50 €

Phone-Strap - 1,50 €

 

+ the amount of money you want to contribute for the charity project - which is up to you.

free shipping. i'll pay it by myself.

「 make a wish 」

hello my dears.

first of all - thanks for showing up. i hope you'll keep on reading until the end of this post.

i haven't updated a lot recently. sorry for that. i caught a second cold, due to my mental weakness.

2 years ago - what happened back then still burdens my soul. sadly, it changed my life. "sadly" because.. terrible things seem to have happen until people's minds are getting a 'wake up call'. we all knew the distress which might have come along with-..

i don't want to bore you with my kind of view.

nevertheless, it tears me down. 

not just in these months. weeks. days.

it's never been out of my mind.

but these days, the passed ones,.. made me even more sad about what has happened.

in germany, the country where i live in - the news. the newspapers. the media.

nearly nobody made a report about anything at all.

of course, there were some "special reports" and tv shows but.. not in an amount i'd hoped for.

people forget too easily..

due to that thought, i started to browse old folders of mine. been looking for memories.

the memories i've stumbled across were very different.

from times, where i was really happy, to times, where-.. 

well,

in the end i remembered something. i remembered, that i wanted to come up with another project. a simple project.

back then, 2 years from now, i started to create something simple. it began with the wish to be able to help.

2 years from that time, i somehow ended up in a place, where everything i've planned could be realized.

but, for the final realization, i need you.

..look at this, please.

 

would you be interested in stuff like this? ..t-shirts, bandanas, wristbands..

i've got some other 'creations' as well. i just didn't print them until now..

what i'm asking for is

if i'd offer something like that - is there anybody out there who'd be interested in buying it?

i'd offer it to a price, which will cover the expenses, and everything in add-on, which is up to you - will be donated.

i'll make sure, the donations will attain at a serious company. [ you can help me with that, too. finding the right one. ]

let me know, if you are interested in doing so.

even one person will be okay.

just contact me, if you are interested.

thank you for reading.

FABULOUS

may i introduce? - prince fabulous! 

(〜￣▽￣)〜

he~ll~ow! (/・ω・)/

bad news - i'm sick again. (๑•́ ω •̀๑) due to that, i've decided to write a random blog entry. ヽ(；▽；)ノ i can't wait for spring to come. so sick of winter.. 

 

i mean, i'm not a bad driver at all, but i really hate driving in.. well.. SNOW. you know. when there's nothing but.. SNOW. when you can't see the roads anymore because .. SNOW. SNOW EVERYWHERE. ಠ_ಠ;; 

therefor i stayed inside as often as possible. the result of not going outside was, that i found myself drawing again. ..i didn't draw for a while, so i was kinda 'impressed' about the result. (笑) so i decided to draw more often again. 

well, due to the fact that i need to stay at home for a few days now, i thought, i could follow this nice intention of mine and grabbed some pen and paper.. just to find out, that i'm not able to concentrate at all. ≖‿≖

seriously. i hate it. well, okay, right now i hate nearly everything. the whole not-enough-power-for-anything-at-all-thing. seriously.

in addition to that, i am nearly deaf. at least it feels like that. (fucking influenza. just disappear again!!!) so i'm not even able to just lay in bed + listen to music. no. i can't enjoy it at all! Q^Q

please! help somebody!

enough of the self-pity! being a crybaby has never worked. i have to look forward to better times, ne? 

(☞ﾟ‿ﾟ)☞

in this case, 

i hope everyone of you is doing fine and.. do yourself a favor and..

STAY HEALTHY!!!

(...if not.. let me know. i'll find a way to brighten up your day!)

hallihallooo! (/・ω・)/

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYBODY!!  ヽ(；▽；)ノ

yes, i'm still alive! survived everything! (笑)

long story short : i'm too lazy to tell every single detail of what happened the last weeks. so i'll just post some pictures, which kinda show my personal memories of the different events.

first of all, there was the Black Line concert in Stuttgart. it was an awesome live. i decided to go there due to the fact, that the city is about 1h away from where i live. and i needed a concert so badly. [ addiction, yep. ] i met july & laura for the first time, two girls i haven't met before but talked to via twitter a lot. i'd say, we had a great evening! the sound was indescribably good, better as a lot of other concerts i've been to. it was a very small club and not that much people there, but i really liked it that way.

the guys seemed to have a lot of fun on stage, enjoying the music and the crowd.. they really got me. that's why laura & i decided to travel to Köln, to see another concert of them, too. it was on that "special date" where the world was supposed to end. *laughs a bit* nevertheless.. it was an awesome evening as well. the whole trip.. all the stuff that happened traveling there - .. hah.. i can't find any words but "wurstig"!! (笑)

well, christmas itself wasn't special at all. the usual stuff. hanging around, spending the evenings with that part of the family you never see during the year.. smalltalk about .. i don't even remember. so, most of the time, i decided to shut up and thought about the days and happenings that will follow soon after CE. 

and then there it was! dat day! when HANNA-CHAN finally arrived!!  (*'ω'*)ノ she stayed for two weeks, which passed by way too fast.. whatever - we had a great time! it felt so familiar somehow.. even if it wasn't japan, where we used to share a tiny room as well, it kinda reminded me of that time.. 

hanna-chan!! i miss you!! (´･_･｀)

soon after that, new years eve was about to arrive. hanna-chan and i decided to spend the night in a city named Düsseldorf. due to the fact, that there's a japanese カラオケbar! [ yes. 'nuff said. ]

we ended up with 6 other people coming along as well (笑) july & laura for example. sarah & kay and flo & cori! ヽ(´▽`)ノ so, after shopping in the japanese stores where hanna & i managed to find some Asahi, we went back to the hotel and ordered some pizza.... a lot of pizza! so much pizza!!! (っ˘ڡ˘ٍ)

yes. it was an awesome night as well! [ seriously. so much of the laugh. ] i managed to make a lot of video recordings... i want to make a "NYE-video-special"; - but i didn't have time til now! prepare yourself!! (*'ω'*)ノ

somehow i didn't manage to say "goodbye" to the old year and "hello" to the new one.

well, this blog entry became longer than i thought. (笑) so i'll end it with some random pictures!  ヽ(´▽`)ノ

herp derp di derp! july & i preparing for the NYE at the hotel!! 

[ one of my favorite pictures for sure! (笑) ]

sunny - watchin' 「the lion king」- like a lion! (　`ω´)

well, yeah, that's all for now!
i hope every single one of you had a great time as well! ヽ(´▽`)ノ
welcome to '13!! let's rock even harder than the year before!!! φ(*'д'* )ﾉ

house of cards

phateless - Kartenhaus [ Silbermond Cover ]

★☆★

because that's why!

well, today my order arrived.

kagerou last live DVD + girugamesh crying rain single.. + a "japanese mag". (it didn't cost anything, therefor i couldn't choose which one i want.) well. ofc i got the area37°... kpop-special. and i was like.. "god. why." i mean.. every other area37°-mag would have been more interesting than a k-pop special.. i mean.. i listen to it. from time to time. but i'm not that interested in it at all.

nevertheless, i started to run over it's pages, 'til suddenly....

"that's why!" (笑)

can't count anymore how often i've been listening to that one song ['my bus'] during the last weeks. so i chose to feel okay with that mag. 

today i was the first time working alone in the store. 

it was more fun than i could have ever imagined. ´___`; everything went well so far and.. yeah. i'm just happy that i didn't fuck up anything at all *laughs* okay.. i forgot the birthday of a woman, working at the store nearby, but.. i would even forget my own birthday if i wasn't born at such an awesome date! `-´!

yep. so far-.. gotta go again, soon. going to the cinema tonight! watching "sinister".... not sure if i'll survive that movie...

★☆★

you look so fine

music!! ヽ(　`ω´)ノ

it's just a short recording but i wanted to upload something again! so, here we go!!

phateless - you look so fine [ garbage cover ]

btw.. it's been very cold today.  

(๑•́ ω •̀๑)

Life's like a Papaya

 long time no see! 

it's been a while and it happened a lot. good and bad but let's go for the good ones first! ヽ(　`ω´)ノ well, atm i got a job at some kind of copy-shop! well, it's more a paid apprenticeship (笑) so it's a lot of fun what i'm learning and - yay! i get paid for it!! i love the work itself and i love my boss as well. he's one of a kind, just like i am, so.. we get along with each other very well! i enjoy working there!

therefor i'm in a extremely relaxed mood. even if, as i already mentioned, some things aren't as good as they could be. ..my body for example. *laughs a bit* i looked tired as fuck the passed months, even if i slept for hours.. the dark circles around my eyes never disappeared completely. finally the docs seemed to figure out the reason why. i got an extremely lack of iron in my blood. well, let's face the fact - i am damn close to anemia. due to the lack of iron. ( i didn't know that was even possible.. but yeah. that's how it is. )

due to that, i'll get some injections in my vains. ( tabs probably won't helpt out at all. ) i'm kinda excited how this "therapy" will turn out.. maybe i'll become better in waking up in the morning? (笑) who knows, who knows.

so, whatever, i took some pictures of the passed weeks which i want to share with you guys. 

so, first of all - who recognizes him?? nah-? yay, it's my 'lil sweetheart! well, in fact, there's not much left to say. he's just an adorable being. very special in his .... 'cute' kinda way.*laughs*

lately, we've got an order at work....

ヘ(￣ー￣ヘ)  Op

(ノ￣ー￣)ノ Op

(〜￣▽￣)〜 Op

〜(￣△￣〜) Op

(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ Oppan Gangnam Style

did i already mention how much i love my work? no? well,... i. fucking. love. it!!  (─‿‿─) so many things to do, creating, creating, creating!! 

ah, i was wide awake inside my head, but my body was tired as always... i really hope, that it'll get better with tomorrow's first injection. i'm tired of being tired 24/7.

雪が好きだよ！！

winter has arrived!! it's been fucking cold and it's snowing nearly every day. ( even if it's raining afterwards and the snow's melting away again... i love snow! )

maybe there's a chance of a "white christmas".. didn't have it for.. years.

 

this reminds me of the urge to make a new cd for the car. do you know that? having your own "seasonal songs" you want to listen to?

for me in person, there are a lot of songs like that. 

D'espairs Ray's 「闇に降る奇跡 -Classical White Ver.-」is one of those. 

on monday i've been to my first concert since i'm back from japan! my second non-japanese concert ever. (笑)

well, i can't say anything but that it was awesome! papa roach played "forever", "to be loved" and "scars" (besides of 'last resort' and 'broken home'), three of my favorite songs ever and stone sour did a brilliant job entertaining the audience, too! my heart nearly stopped for a second as they've started to play "through the glass".. right after "bother".

it was awesome.

guys, you did a great job! i'm looing forward to see both of them again someday.

 

in the end, i wanted to show you something i made today at work! some kind of... special merchandise! *laughs* i'm pretty sure they'd never support that kind of thing but.. well, that's my favorite lighter now!

i hope everyone of you out there is alright and having a great time, too! sorry for the irregular updates but.. i've got a lot of things to handle. (｀ﾛ´ﾉ)ﾉ hopefully i'll be back with some new music soon! (笑) stay connected!!
