Description This is a birthday gift to I spent all day on this one (well, a large part of it, anyhow), so I hope you enjoy this, Mel.

I recorded this one in Japanese for two reasons: 1) In general, people who watch anime (e.g. - Mel) like Japanese over English, and 2) I find the sound of my own voice less irksome when it's in another language. It's been 3 years since I've been in Japanese class though, so the grammar here may be rusty.

The music in this is Tenkou Kisei, from Fullmetal Alchemist. I've placed this one in scaps for two reasons: 1) This is not really something for the general public, who is not Mel, and 2) Since it contains copyrighted music, I hope for it to sneak by without being torn apart by dA legalities. Oh gosh, I hope I don't get into real trouble for acknowledging this and yet doing it. Does it count if it's in scraps? I hope not.

Oh yeah, one more note. "Masculine" was probably not the best word to use in this animation. This choice was made mostly due to my limited vocabulary (in Japanese, the term used was "otoko rashii" - "like a man"). What I had been trying to go for was something more along the lines of "domineering" or "strong-willed." Basically not a push over. In any case, the main goal of saying all these cruel things were just to provoke her, and not because they were true. Am I implying they are true by this statement? Only you can decide. And yes.

This is funny. I can't help, but laugh cuz that is most like me. Everything you said. Except for being 21. I'm not 21... But I am short, strong willed, and violent. And I MIGHT be a good friend... No ones told me other wise....

Good job, you sound so japanese i thought you spoke it naturally (i dont know japanese is probably why). So that's why you have a knife in your back.

--I have watched this too many times to remember, and giggle every time.

--I love that you pop up out of the ground.

--I chuckle at the noise you make when you have been slayed. Every time.

--I wish you would make more anime and do voiceovers in Japanese. I would watch them like an addict.

--You have a super cool voice and I am hellza jealous of your mad ability to speak Japanese and be Asian and all of that.

--I'm very nervous to be writing this and feel like an idiot, since this is my first comment on your art ever even though I've been a fan of yours since...hmm...a long time. Since you posted the picture of that guy laughing at the sky.

--This is all too much information, and I am very embarrassed now.

Take your flame else where kokotarabana >_> this isn't submitted as a DA in the first place. he placed it in his scraps, away from the other proper submissions, just specially dedicated for Mel as a personal gift anyway >_>

I'd say its a really sweet thing for someone to go through effort to MAKE something for someone's birthday instead of going out to buy one that others made. (unless bought with your own hard earned money [with blood sweat and tears, though thats sorta cliche])

You go John! xD

That was soo cute Your voice 'WAS' cute when you said

'Happy 21st Birthday!'

How long have you learnt Japanese for? O.o" I've only learnt it for 5 years ._." I think 2 of them dont really count since we changed Japanese teachers and we pretty much re-learnt everything

*note - 'WAS'

Yes, after my voice got sucked into MMO's and stopped taking care of itself, it became quite obese.
